He is the coolest teacher and really funny!

Makes learning Psych fun! I just wish he wouldn't teach so early in the morning. Bob, if you are reading this, please consider a night class. 9:00 am is too early in the morning for a class.

he is sooo rad, everyone should take him. he makes learning fun and he's always making everyone laugh!
Take any classes he teaches, he is wonderful!
BEST TEACHER EVER!!!
If you pay attention to his lectures, you will do well on the tests. Lectures are interesting and easy to follow. Only one assignment, which is super easy! Take him!! :)
Lisen, forget what all the rest say. Attend his classes. Take notes. Everything you read in the textbook and casebook is bull. 98% of all Ferg's tests will be on your class notes. Now for the bull, yes, he is cool and funny as hell. Don't 4 get: Go to all
Take every class he teaches! He is the funniest teacher at saddleback, go to the lectures and pay attention, and you'll do well in the class! Best teacher ever!
One of the best teachers at Saddleback. A+++
I wish all classes had his format. He makes learning a walk in the park,not a walk in the daark.
This is one of the best Professors I've ever had!! Super cool and fun!!!!
one word to describe this man: AWESOME! He is so funny and smart you'll find yourself laughing all the time but also learning ALOT. He makes going to class fun and interesting. Take every single class he teaches, you won't ever regret it.
He's awesome!! I got to some of his lectures, even though I'm not enrolled in any of classes!!
I actually loved attending lectures! He's interesting and exciting and he knows how to make you understand everything! He loves to teach and it is evident through his style.
BEST TEACHER EVER!! interesting lectures. actally made me want to go to class so i didnt miss them. funny guy, he has some good stories and jokes. definetely recomended
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!! funny as hell. you'll want to go to class everyday. he makes it worth while. just take notes, and prepare to laugh ALOT. quizzes are pretty easy (3). final is wierd but just study and you'll do good!!
tests are based on lecture, just take good notes, and u'll be fine. he makes psycholohy interesting. 4 tests, and 4 questions(just turn them in the last day, he doesn't even read them)
EXCELLENT TEACHER!!He is so funny.Has great stories to tell about every subject.He is an easy teacher, tests directly from the notes.Take good notes.He loves it when students participate in lectures.Has a hilarious laugh!
His open to everybody(friendly), listens to each individual(s) problem and answer it with sincere matter. His lecture is well organized and quizzes, test, and extra credit case study are fair to unstudious one. Highly recommended!!!
Dr. Ferguson is the greatest and coolest teacher ever.It's a blessing that Saddleback have him.
Awesome teacher. If you are just starting out in psych, take this teacher. He is so amazing. He has so much life experience, and has a wonderful way of getting his point accross. He is very lineient(sp) when it came to make up tests. He's a way cool guy.
I LOVE HIM FUUNIEST TEACHER EVER
The definition of what a teacher should be. Gives great lectures, excellent examples, and really relates to the younger generation
Down to earth, knows how to get your attention. Must be a fan of power point..
Great teacher, very helpful and fun guy. Take this class it's fun!!
Great, funny, and he keeps your attention. I would recommend him for sure. Laid back, and you learn so many interesting facts.
He keeps us constantly interested in the workings of the human mind...
Nice, Cool, Funny
He is very interesting and funny. you will do good if you studdy. one of the best teachers.
He was really easy, his cases were interesting to listen to, there were also some interesting videos to watch. A few quizzes, and one final, and only one homework. It was super easy. Take this class, it was awesome.
very funny, organized, good lectures
awesome, funny, simply great!
Anyone who is interested in psychology should take this class. He uses practical examples that help in understanding the theory. His knowledge of psychology is amazing. He is very funny, friendly and cares for his students. Simply, wonderful professor:o)
It is very easy to try and glide through this class because there is no homework and very little note taking. If you are good at taking tests, you will do fine. The grade is based on quizes and tests.
Very cool guy and extremely knowledgable. Psych 1 is much easier than the other 2. Gives great lectures, sometimes its a comedy act even, but really still gets info across. Grade is all from exams, but its not too scary! One of the best teachers I have ever had. Really!

HILARIOUS! Very good teacher, makes the subject extremely interesting.
did not learn anything from this class was very disapointed
Quite possibly the best teacher I have ever had. Learned alot while earning an A fairly easily. Presents information in an easy to learn manner.
FERG IS AWESOME, ITS NOT THE EASIEST CLASS IN THE WORLD, BUT IF YOU NEED TO TAKE PSYCH AND YOUR NOT A STRAIGHT A STUDENT, TAKE FERG, YOULL PASS IF YOU SHOW UP AND DO YOUR****
best teacher in the entire world!!!! i think i might be in love with this man!
He is about as easy as they come! Uses alot of examples, related cases and videos. Very easy to understand. Easy A if you show up and pay attention. I think the student that was disapointed in not learning anything was on DRUGS. Take his class, you won't be sorry, or your money back, Ha ha.
i found the class very enjoyable, and feruguson was an excellent professor
No Comments
he is an easy and nice teacher. just print the ppt presentations before class, and write whatever he says, and study that. THAT'S all.also there is another book, but u ONLY have to answer 3 Q's. share the book with 5-6 people if u can, and just tear some pages out of it & answer JUST 3 Q's => A :)
Great teacher, really enjoys what he is doing and not completely humdrum on his class. If you get involved great and if you dont great. A Young Man stuck in an old mans body. Still something to look at though. He works out so he isnt one of those old nasty looking teachers.
Great teacher.. Highly recommended to take this class. Lots of reading but it's easy and you'll like the subject. Dr. Ferguson makes it come alive. I enjoyed this class.
Why is this teacher so AWESOME!!! he looks a little like Robert Duvall. But anyways, such a funny/interesting/intriguing/stay-awake class... helped me decide on my psych major!
Anyone that says something bad about him simply doesn't have a good sense of humor. Ferguson is the by far the best teacher I've had at saddleback. He's funny and clear, which shows both talent and intellegence. Better register soon because his class fills quick, he's that good.
I took all of his classes best teacher I have ever had. He was a very nice man and very funny!! You should atleast take on of his classes
He will rock you.
This is a review for the online course. I could tell in orientation that he's a great teacher and a funny guy. Unfortunately, I took the 6 week course and got a C. I knew the material, but a lot of the questions weren't psyc questions but recalling the video, which is just stupid. A psyc test should be psyc questions, not video reviews.
very helpful
Best Teacher I Have Ever Had Thus Far
Great teacher, take notes, show up for class- stories are funny and case examples really help you remember.
This guy is hilarious, I actually like going to his class. It kind of sucks that I'm not learning very much but the way he talks to students is so funny. His stories are also very interesting
He's not "easy" he helps you through all of your work during class... he is an amazing teacher...
He's a cool teacher and definitely doesn't let you fall asleep with all the interesting info he gives you about sex and stuff.

I recommend this teacher to everyone that goes to Saddleback. I love his teaching style.
yeahya
Highly Recommended as your first experience in College Psych Education. Excellent instructor. The kind of teacher everyone should have at least once.
No Comments
This guy is so awesome!!!!!!!! He tells you stories and just is really hilarious. He gives you modern examples and personal experiences in order to understand the material more. Definitely, take his course, especially if you are a psyc major wanting to transfer, he gets you really into it.
By far the best professor at saddleback. I hate waking up early, but for his class I woke up and was happy to be there. What a riot! No homework (at least not much), take notes, study notes, get good grade. That easy. And his stories are off the wall. He used to work for the DEA!!!
GREAT TEACHER, YOU MUST TAKE AT LEAST ONE OF HIS CLASSES WHILE AT SADDLEBACK!!!!!
Great teacher who knows what he is talking about. I actually paid attention to his lectures. He has a lot of experince and I learned a lot. All you do is take notes and then the tests. Definitely recommend.
HE'S AN AWSOME TEACHER - WE NEED MORE LIKE HIM AT SADDLEBACK! EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE AT LEAST ONE OF HIS CLASSES!
I don't have problems remembering information for his tests because he makes everything so interesting; it sticks in your head. He's great at keeping everyone's attention with all the bizare cases. I definately recomend him!
I do not recommend taking the class on tv. You just watch videos that are made by some company and never see the actual teacher. You have to be very self motivated to keep up, otherwise it is easy. I just wish I would have been in the actual class.
He's a great teacher!! I totally recommend him! It's all lecture but he actually makes interesting somehow to the point where i hardly find myself having to study for his tests and I'm a horrible test taker. Go figure! Nice guy and relatese everything you go over to bizarre cases which helps a lot!
He's funny as hell. Makes class very entertaining, BUT the tests are kinda hard. That's all the class is based on, is tests. So if you are not good with tests, like us, then this class is not good for you. He is very entertaining though and you do learn a lot. It's just hard to apply it to his tests.
very entertaining class learned alot im also another student that Isnt a great test taker very imformative take his class
He is a great teacher! extremely interesting and entertaining. All you have to do is listen to the lectures and take a few tests. It is easy to stay interested because he applies his own crazy experiences to the lectures. You will learn a lot in this class that will apply to your everyday life.
I had problems in this class. Bob mainly goes by his lecture and to an extent, conflicts with the book info! Although i got a good grade in his class, i DID notice the class average seemed to be balancing around the "C-range". I also felt he was more perceptive to the girls. His tests are moderately challenging, but he DOES offer Extra Credit.
hes a funny old man! yeah quizzes were kinda difficult i always forget to study cuz they r kinda tricky but not really. remember to do the cases at the end cuz i forgot! its funny when he says homie and homedog. weeeeeeee
Great professor with great personality. Not too hard if you pay attention, take notes, and study.
One of the best teachers I have ever had! His guy is so funny, you can tell he tries to relate to the younger generation. He is very good at making the material understandable. I had a 3hr/1 a week class and it flew by! Tests are scantron and pretty easy. Take this teacher.
I took his intro and abnormal psych classes and really enjoyed both. He's a really cool, funny teacher, one of the best. He tells fun stories about his cases and incorporates them into his lecture. Class is really easy too. Take it.
Great lecturer, interesting cases, and will help you if you need it. Exams are easy if you keep up with the work and attend the lectures.
very good teacher. hist notes are very clear and he has a website with all of his powerpoints on it. the day before a test he goes over everything you need to know...tests are straight out of the lecture notes and are pretty easy. even if you miss a class you have the notes. awesome personality, easy going. makes the class a lot of fun.
One of my favorite professors! Very organized, all lectures on power point. Take notes and you will do fine. Very interesting and funny, I actually enjoyed coming to this class every day. I wish I had time to take all his classes!
Take his class!!! He makes going to class in the morning worthwhile! Very organized and has all powerpoint slides on blackboard so you can take notes on those. Tests were sometimes worded a little tricky but I would just go over my notes the night before and always get a B. Has very interesting stories and he is just great overall!
he was such a great professor take him!!! his lectures are great but don't fall too behind cause the quizzes can be tricky...

Honestly one of the most amazing academic experiences I have ever had. He makes you want to be there, to learn and listen to the experiences he has had. He brings every lesson he teaches to life, by incorporating an actual event that took place in real life. There needs to be more teachers like his, I looked forward to his class every time.
This is by far the BEST professor at Saddleback hands down! He is great to listen to, he has taught at alot of colleges and he really knows his stuff. Don't even worry about grades with his class--he makes it so interesting you can't help but know the material and ace the tests. Take any and all of his courses! You will see what I'm talking about.
Great teacher! He brought what we were learning to life with his own personal experiances & stories. Verying interesting class, great learning experiance. Highly recommended!
Briliant Professor! Dr. Ferguson is truly a gifted teacher. I have retained so much about psychology from his classes. His lectures come alive in a way that you can understand the material. He is always available to help you when you need it.
one of the best teachers i have ever had
The best
AMAZING! Any person on here who gives him a bad review probably just didn't go to class enough, fell behind, and got failed. This guy WANTS his students to leave his class smarter. And the ones who actually TRY do leave smarter. He's great all the way around.
INTELLIGENT PROFESSOR and excellent class loaded with knowledge that Dr. Ferguson MAKES come alive... also a HOTTIE for us older females...!!
Without a doubt, the best teacher I have ever had. He made me switch my major from business to psychology, and is a great, nice, and extremely funny man! Take him.
The best instructor I've had in my 3 years of college. He's extremely funny, helpful, nice and intelligent. He has GREAT stories and fun videos. He really helps the students relate. He's great!
There's never a dull moment with Dr. Ferguson. He has had so much experience in his field and shares it with his classes. The material really makes sense and the tests are very fair. 1 hw assignment due the day of the final, 3 tests & 1 final!
Most interesting teacher i've ever come across. He's a funny guy and this is a fun class. Doesn't care about attendance, but i liked going to this class. a few 25 quest quizzes that were kinda hard.. and a final. take this class if you dont want tobe bored!
Very funny, lectures the whole class or watch interesting movies on pyschological studies. Quizzes are moderately easy if you study hard. I never go to class and I got a C.
Top notch professor! Dr. Ferguson presents a great learning environment with his powerpoint lectures and sex dysphoria panels. He is a pretty funny guy and a very knowlegable professor. Lecture notes are critical for his tests so bi-weekly attendance is recommended. His tests are 3 multiple choice 25 question tests with a 100 question final.
HOT HOT HOT... even for us oldies.... GREAT class with a professor who is FULL of class... and anecdotes that make his subjects 'come alive!!' LOTS of info... take LOTS of notes.... the casebook is required to turn in 3 critical thinking exercises at the end of class.. do the online extra credit he offers and show up for class... LUV U DR. BOB!
if u cant make it to class have a friend check off ur name...he passes around the roll sheet...lectures every class...just print out power point from website and add notes...easy to understand and quizzes are easy...ferguson is hilarious!!! most lectures are interesting...study notes and ull get a's on all 3 quizzes and final...no hw!!
He is an AMAZING teacher!! Very funny teacher and his classes is easy if you go to his class and do the work. You use the case book that he assigns you which is where most if not all your quiz questions come from.
I learned so much and now am seeking a psychology degree. He made it so easy to learn by making the lessons come alive.
Great teacher. Fun environment. Giggles of his own jokes. Powerpoint presentations you can print before class. Very helpful and always smiling
Saddleback's greatest...I have taken three classes with him now and you can't find a better professor!
amazing teacher! super funny, and makes psychology come alive. only a few quizzes, one assignment, and a final. he laughs at his own jokes which is pretty hilarious. you can tell he knows his stuff. puts his lectures online, so if u miss a class u can surely find out what you missed. take him for sure!!!
Ferguson is awesome! I took him for Psych1 and I had to take him for Human Sex class... He is hilarious. The class is all power points. Just take notes - there are a couples days of videos and two visits - one from the Gay Straight Alliance at Saddleback and one from ****s. Make sure you get notes if you don't go...Easy class and really fun!
He is the coolest teacher ever... there is no one on campus quite like him.. you just wont understand until you've taken Psych for yourself with him. It was fun and he made it so easy.. there is no doubt you wont get at least a B
THE BEST EVER AT SADDLEBACK!!!!
Yeah he's pretty easy. I never opened my book. The quizzes are pretty easy as long as you have notes from class. Likes to give you lots of examples and talks alot about drugs and sex so get use to it.
Took his online class over summer..so easy! His tests are easy too and a lot of questions are common sense that you wouldn't have to open the book for. The essays are easy and I liked it because psychology is my major!!
TAKE THIS CLASS! His classes consist of either lecture or movies. he makes class fun with his crazy stories. Takes good notes and you'll pass for sure, the tests are fairly easy and are based on his lectures. you dont even have to buy the books!

The best professor I have had since attending college. He is intelligent and knows how to keep you interested. This class is worth it!
Awesome professor! He encourages class participation and uses real life examples from his experience to make the information easy to remember.
Great class! I got really interested in Psychology now, and I'm thinking of taking more courses! I highly recommend that you take him if you're taking Psych 1. Don't need the book but you shuold buy the CASEBOOK because you turn in like 3 chapters at the end of the semester. take him please!
Dr. Ferguson is the best teacher ever, because of him I loved Psychology. He's a great teacher with great knowledge and teaching techniques. If you take notes and review once in a while you'll ace it. His classes are very interesting and most of the time you take notes or watch movies regarding the topic you're learning.
Such an awesome teacher, he makes the class fun and lectures are interesting. His stories are hilarious! Take this CLASS!
Dr. Ferguson, is an amazing teache.Give yourself enough time to study for the test and you will get an A on his test. There's 25 multiple question and that's it!!! There is a paper, but it only has to be 2pgs. double space. He is truly a wonderful teacher.
OMG what an amazing teacher! Ferguson is someone who makes it easy to get out of bed every morning and go to class. His lectures are very fun and interesting and his field experience makes everything come to life. Class consists mainly of lectures, very easy tests, and 3 vignettes to be completed on your own. One of the best teachers I've ever had.
Awesome teacher, very interesting, funny, lots of experience and knows his stuff! Barely any HW given, take notes on his lectures and study. Highly recommended!!
Great teacher! His tests aren't easy but if you show up for class and take good lecture notes (which he makes really easy) then you should do fine on the tests. He tries to make the class interesting and shares his experience with the subject. I can't wait to have him again for abnormal psych.
Great approach!
I took the online course, and he was extremely easy to understand! You have a week to complete a couple assignments max. They take no time at all and they're all interesting subjects. The quizzes are only 25 questions and it's open book. He was really helpful and emailed back as soon as he could if I had any questions. Highly recommended!
He was very nice and helpful.
TAKE THIS CLASS! Mr. Ferguson is an amazing teacher not only because of his ample experience in the field (DEA, law enforcement, clinical psychology, forensic psychology, etc.), but because of the way he brings the material to life with his animated lectures and real life experiences. Class is all lectures with few tests and hardly any homework.
My favorite teacher ever. He used to be a drug agent for the gov, so he has some wild stories. You don't HAVE to attend classs, but all that's required to pass is copy his power point (he posts it online also) and scan over it the night before the test, which is 25 m/c q's and EASY. Only drawback is that he likes to teach very early in the morning.
THIS IS SUCH A FUN CLASS. BUT THE TEST ARE HARD!!!
THIS IS SUCH A FUN CLASS. He makes all his lectures very interesting..
i took ferguson for psych 1, 5, and 37. amazing teacher!!! tests can be hard but study and you'll get at least a B. no homework but there is one assignment due at the end of the semester. very funny teacher, easy to understand!
Took Intro to Pysch with this prof. to fulfill part of the IGETC, then I saw that I could take Abnormal Psych to fulfill another part. These two classes have been my favorite of Saddleback even though they aren't part of my major, and Ferguson is the most interesting, fun professor!
This class is awful. I thought it would be more about the psychology behind sex and it is seriously just a long version of sex ed we all took in 6th grade. Dr Ferguson is SO funny. He is seriously a crack up. Your grade is based on all test and the test are really difficult.
what to say about ferguson. wellll he isnt afraid to talk about any subject and he really should of been a comedian. i took his class at 9am and no one was ever asleep in this class cuz everyone was always laughing at his jokes. great teacher,3 tests that are hard and 4 chapters of vignettes due at the end of the semester but no homework. TAKE HIM
Great guy and a really fun class. I enjoyed going to his class every time. Only bad thing is that he teaches early morning classes. if your taking any psych classes at all make sure you take ferguson
Absolutely hilarious teacher. Keeps class interesting. There are 3 tests and the Final. Then you have to turn in 3 chapters of critical thinking questions, very easy. Tests are challenging, so make sure you study. Take this guy for Psychology!
Dr. Ferguson is awesome. His lectures are straightforward and funny at times. Quizzes are fairly easy if you studied the PowerPoint slides and take notes. Final was tricky, but if you took your time and thought about the questions you should have no trouble. Make sure you do the extra credit. Its only 3 points, but it made a difference in my grade.
Dr.Ferguson is seriously one of the most entertaining professors I have ever had. I took two classes with him and learned a lot in both. Textbook use is very low - just keep up with the notes he gives you in class and you should be fine. His classes are not guaranteed A's - you actually have to study.
Lets see, I had him for Psych 1 at 7:30 in the morning and i never fell asleep! Hes the best teacher ive ever had in my life. if you have the opportunity to take his class, DO IT! You wont regret it. And he talks a lot about drugs and sex so if your faint hearted, stay away.
Greatest class I have taken so far! I took it online, and it was so amazingly easy! All the assignments are simple, and you get three hours to take 25 question, mutliple choice tests. No busywork or wasted time whatsoever. If you are looking for a fun class with minimal time and effort required, take this class! You will absolutely love it!
he is the best.awsomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. he is the the best teacher i have take in college. so helpfull,funny, entertaining,easy test.
Ferguson is a great teacher, he makes class fun and interesting. He has 3 25 pt quizes and one final. The tests are on his powerpoint slides, which he goes over very clearly. He wants you to succeed. And if your grade isn't what you what it to be he lets you write a paper to boost it up. Hes a great funny teacher. Take him for psych 1 and psych 7
Dr. Ferguson is a good teacher who covers the material well and bases the grade off a few quizes, midterm, final. Class was pretty easy and extremely enjoyable. This guy is hilarious, so many jokes are made through out every lecture. Just take notes, and get an A.
no homework in the but you have to take really good notes and study for the 3 tests. hes funny and an awesome teacher.
Greatest teacher!!
he looks old, but he is the funniest teacher, he very helpful, and explains things very well.he is very well expeireced in Psych. makes me want to be a psych major
TAKE FERGUSON!!! He makes the material interesting and tells stories of his experience with patients, which helps make the info. memorable. Classes are large but he takes time to answer any questions. Very entertaining class, easy if you study (multiple choice tests), and he posts grades on Blackboard. He is my favorite prof. at Saddleback.
Professor Ferguson is outstanding. He made the lectures understandable along with being intersting. I recommend him highly.
So good professor!Take his class! I am so happy. He is a showman! Good dressed, knows material, repit all befor test.3 tests are not so easy, but study and you will be with grad "A" . He likes to help. Thank you, professor Ferguson. I will take his next class! Recomend.
He was such an amazing teacher. Dr. Ferguson made me realize that I might want to major in Psychology!
he is the best , awesome, i love him so much. the gare teacher in the world.
Dr Ferguson is the best! there has never been a class to which i want to attend every day but his! i took him for psych 1 and now i will be taking him for psych 5 take him you wont regret it!
Professor Ferguson was fantastic and hilarious. I took his Summer class and it was simple. Just remember to read what's on the lecture slides and you'll get an A+. No need to read the book.
OMG THIS TEACHER IS AWESOME!!! he is my favortie teacher ever!!! have taken two of his classes and plan to take another!!! sooo funny!!!
an amazing teacher who grasps your attention and makes the classroom a freakin theater. he has a bunch of hilarious and interesting stories that help you remember the material. all around great guy and is extremely approachable, ask him any question. great great great teacher!
Great Teacher, knows more than you can imagine. However, class isn't an easy 'A'. Test are somewhat difficult, final is comprehensive for both Psych 1 and 37 so you need to study. Though, if you want the funnest teacher, he is the one.
I took this class in the Summer and it was simple. Ferguson was super enthusiastic and the class was really interesting. His stories were super entertaining. Take good notes in class and review your lecture slides thoroughly and you're set. No need to buy the book, the tests come straight from lecture and slides.
I laugh at least once every day in Ferguson's class. He is hilarious, teaches the material well, and deserves his own standup show! I'm definitely interested in taking more classes from him. Highly recommend him even if you're not 100% interested in psychology. You will not regret it!
AWESOME prof, very funny and entertaining, keeps things interesting. Doesnt use the textbook, so I never bought it and I still got an A. Easy class, just pay attention and enjoy.
He's just amazing and makes the class so interesting unlike other teachers he's not boring at all! he's absolutely AWESOMEEEE!Take him for sure
Amazing amazing teacher ;) I always laugh when he refers to his case studies and even his ratings about drugs and sex! lol. RUDE RUDE RUDE! HAHAHA. Take him, but not online!
Awesome teacher! 4 Hour Summer Classes are rough but I loved his class!! He makes the material unforgettable with his cases which make it easy to take the quizzes! If his class is open TAKE HIM!
BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!!! I've taken him for a few classes and love him!!!!
After the first day of summer school, I immediately began to dread my next summer school class, because I knew it couldn't compare to Dr.Fergusons class. I was right. He is so good at teaching the information and keeping the class awake!
Fantastic teacher! His stories are funny and they really help to retain the information - I learned a lot. The tests were tougher than I expected and many questions are based on case study examples. You do need to study lecture notes to do well. Taking another class just b/c he's teaching it, don't even care it meets at 7:30a on a Monday morning!
Had for Psych 1 and 37 - absolutely the best professor you could ask for. Easy to understand lectures, one homework assignment due at the end of the semester, and just keep your mouth shut while he's talking or he'll call you out. I got a B, but that's because I didn't study! The ?'s are easily accessible online extra credit and use your casebook!
so great, absolutely love the class! his stories are so funny and interesting! highly recommend!
Bob is awesome. His lectures are easy to understands, he tells the best stories he's dealt with relating to the material. Don't talk in class, and if you're late, just go in quietly. One of the best teachers I have EVER had.
Took him for PSYCH 37 - Abnormal Psychology and highly recommend this class/professor. His power-points are the key to his tests, the stories he tells ties everything together, and he doesn't give out homework. (except for one assignment due at the end of semester) Before the final, he goes over the questions on it. FUN,EASY,INFORMATIVE!
Professor Ferguson is one of the most well rounded professors i have ever come across when it comes to educational as well as work experience. He genuinely cares about teaching. Not necessary to buy the book if you attend class and take notes. I would definitely take his class if i were you.
He is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is very helpful and extremely entertaining. He brings you into the world of psychology with stories and personal experiences. You will learn and enjoy his class. Take his class! You will not regret it.
He's a great teacher and brings stories to life to help you understand and remember the lecture. As he puts it, he gets your "right brain working". I would definately recommend taking this class. :)
love how he can tie in interesting cases/stories with the lesson. funny and enjoyable class. nice guy & highly recommend
While Bob is indeed hilarious, he's not specific enough about the material that's going to be on the quizzes and final. If you're going to take him make sure you research whatever he discusses. If you don't you'll be confused when you take the quizzes and, especially, the final.
One of the easiest online classes I've taken. Weekly disc boards, 4 quizzes and a couple papers (3 pages max). Super easy, put a minimum amount of effort into it and you can get an A. Don't spend money on the textbook for online class. You can get away without it using Google.
Hes a great teacher makes the class interesting, while also being fun. Dont expect much of a serious classroom setting has he is quite the jokester, and likes to shock people so just sit and enjoy his great lectures.
One of the best professors I've ever had. Take him no matter what major you're going for, you won't regret it.
I took Dr. Ferguson for an online class and found it to be very easy! He was very understanding and answered any emails right away. Not very much work at all so if you are looking for an easy yet intellectual class take him!
by far the BEST teacher Saddleback has ever had, and I'm so sad he retired. I have never wanted to go to a class more than this one. Funny, smart, and easy, this class was a blast
He's the best! Super easy, really nice and funny! Would recommend printing out the slides he posts online. Tests are easy and the paper is only four paragraphs long.
this guy is great. he doesent care whether your late to class or whether you dont come at all he just wants you to be on time for tests and exams. he is very clear in teaching and always gives you stories related to what he teaches to keep things in your head and there always super funny! no hw only 3 exams 25 question scantron and final is 100 q,s
Best teacher I've ever had! He made me so interested in it. Tests are easy, just study for them. I'm taking his abnormal psych class next semester and I cant wait. Try not to miss class 'cause you'll miss out on information that'll be on exams.
Easy easy easy A.
Good Experience with online class. Not a lot of work, just the right amount to survive an 8 week course. Not a lot of interaction with the teacher. Follow along with the syllabus, weekly lesson plan and you should be set.
Awesome!!! I took his online Summer class. He was very helpful and encouraging! Highly suggest taking Dr. Ferguson, lots of writing but grades easy.
Super funny! Loved his class! He's able to link a hilarious story to the lecture, making it easier to remember! The slides provided basically outline each test! Highly recommend!!!!
Wont regret on taking him. honestly hes a funny guy and worth the lecture time. makes amazing jokes and its not boring at all. take him
AWESOME professor!!! Interesting class and material. You learn a lot. All 4 exams are very clear plus his 20 points extra credit (Easy) at the end of the semester. I HIGHLY recommend his class.
I loved this class. This professor is so funny. He makes Psychology interesting. He explains the concepts and terms clearly. All of his exams are easy. Just attend class and study the outlines. I highly recommend this professor! I got an A!! Easy, easy A!!
He is awesome. He is a captivating lecturer and keeps interest up. His stories and method of teaching is successful for maximum intake with minimal effort. His class is not hard and if you take notes during lecture, briefly study them; you should have no problem passing with an A. Plus his lectures are fun and interesting.
What an extraordinary class. He is not strict on attendance, but this is a class where you don't want to miss one lecture. I learned so much in such a fun lecture environment; I highly recommend this teacher. If you just take notes during lecture and briefly study; you should have no problem passing with an A. I recommend reading the book once.
Professor Ferguson is great, he is very helpful and responds to his email promptly. It is a great class. If you do your part and take your time to study, you can easily get an A.
You do not need any of the books. Everything on his tests is from his lecture. Take good notes and study a moderate amount and you will get an A.
super nice personality, amazing lecture, fun class, material is hard but he makes it so easy by describing them with different cases, highly recommend him. he is incredible. totally fun class.
Simply the best there is. Wish i was still at Saddleback so i could take his classes over and over hahaha. ADORE HIM.
he is one of the best professor I ever had
He may be a great teacher for Psych 1, but this wasn't the case for Psych 37. The first month of lectures were good, after that he started hanging on topics, and we didn't even finish the last 2 chapters. Needless to say, he tested us on them anyway, and there were many questions on the final he did not lecture. No textbook req., but it should be.
I took this professor over 10 years ago, and I still refer to him as the BEST teacher I have ever had. If you get the chance to take a class from him.. DO IT! He's fantastic!
He is such a funny teacher! There are 3 quizzes which are based off the notes, and one final exam. Got a b on all the exams and the final but my grade a the end was an A! Love this class would definitely recommend
Okay seriously, no joke, this professor rocks. He is beyond hilarious, never uses his textbook during class time, and instead uses his cases as "lectures". They're super entertaining, you're never bored in class, I was always laughing, and he's extremely helpful, clear, patient, kind and honestly caring to see you do well. Take him!
Hard class study the material well!
BEST TEACHER AT SADDLEBACK
Had this class at 7;30 am monday and wednesday, he kept me awake with his funny jokes. he is always laughing at himself. he only tells you things that are on quizes. no homework, and you really dont need the book ever until the final.
This class was extremely easy! What's even better about this class is that he tells you exactly what will be on the quizzes and best yet, the final exam! We had about 3 to 4 quizzes. He's goes on and on about his interesting cases and examples more than his power point lectures. He's super funny! Take this class. You won't regret it.
He is the best! It was a 7:30 class but he was worth it. He was soo funny, and he has actual cases that he experienced which he uses for examples which is really cool. He made it really easy to understand, and he totally helps you prepare for the tests. All of his lectures are online, but it was worth going. DEFIANTLY TAKE HIM
I wasn't the biggest fan of his humor, but my classmates loved him. He repeats himself a lot. All the time. So much. We'd spend an hour class going over one slide. Most of the stuff covered in lecture was not covered on exams. He's nice, but gets a little personal and I thought it inappropriate. Tests are fairly easy, he does help you prepare!
Great professor! Discussion board every week. A few short written assignments. 4 short tests. Only 25 questions. Really easy class.
Really funny dude. Very straight-forward about the content of the tests.
eventhough I got an A, I don't recommend this class because the exams are not from his notes and that really annoyed me. He's a nice professor but makes too many sexual jokes that I didn't like. There're some quizzes and one paper at the end (which is a joke). not an easy A but definitely easy B as long as you go to lectures (which many didn't)
You won't even want to skip class. The lectures are very enjoyable. He is so helpful and all the test and quizzes are straight from his lectures. Listen, take notes and you will do amazing. You will remember this professor forever, he is such a great guy.
I took Psych 5 around 1994, and later wrote an article about it. Still in my mind. Good teacher, good balance between lecturing and answering questions. Very clear and knowledgeable. I took the class for credit but had to drop it due to a job offer, but it was very important info, and greatly appreciated. Competence in a world of non
Professor Ferguson is one of the funniest people I've ever met. He makes the class enjoyable, but he is very unorganized. It took us a long time to get through his lectures because he goes off on tangents a lot. There's no homework though and only three quizzes and a final. However, he takes his time and he is really just the funniest professor.
He is super funny and make me in love with psychology
Kindest and most thoughtful man I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Class is easy, can use notes on test and gives you answers. The guy genuinely wants to see every single one of his students succeed and be happy.
He is probably one of the funniest people I have met and is a super easy teacher. You will not regret taking this class. He makes you fall in love with psychology.
Super cool professor! He was named best professor at saddleback numerous times! He tends to get off topic a lot so be prepared to listen to a lot of irrelevant side stories. He cares about his students A LOT! Extremely intelligent professor. Take him if you can! You won't regret it
Taught my class until the last month of the semester, then disappeared. His lectures are unforgettable & can be printed. He creates vivid pictures in your head to help remember the information. Before each test (3 tests + 1 final), he shows what he is testing you on. You'll need his book only for the 3 critical thinking chapter q's assignment.
I had Ferguson as a Freshman at Saddleback, it was my first class ever. I personally made the rookie mistake of taking the class at 7:30 AM every Monday and Wednesday. He was a very silly teacher and was able to spark my interest even if I only got a couple hours of sleep the night before and just crawled out of bed.
This class was super easy. 3 tests, all had reviews and he went through it question by question. I personally did not like him because his lectures were all over the place. Nothing was organized, but in the end, it was an easy A. All the homework through the whole semester was 3 chapters in his casebook. Don't get it. It's not worth it
Seriously the best teacher ever. He has the class laughing basically the entire time. His lectures are interesting because he brings in cases he has actually worked. He is so sweet and genuinely wants you to succeed. BEST TEACHER/MAN EVER.
Amazing professor with a great sense of humor. Easy lecture notes. If you don't show up to class you can fall behind. Take every opportunity of extra credit offered by the professor.
