It's so funny that when you read the ratings on the professors from the really tough courses, a lot of them score low - why? Because people write negative things when they don't pass - and many do not pass classes like Bio 11 & 12. Dr. Bob rates high only because he's easy. But I don't feel I learned anything. I certainly was not challenged enough!

I was originally enrolled in an online class when I decided to go to ratemyprofessors. I'm so glad I did. After seeing the reviews on Dr. Bob, I immediately switched classes and enrolled in his Abnormal Psych class. He genuinely cares for his students, will keep you engaged with his energetic lectures, & is extraordinarily experienced in his field

I would definitely recommend Dr. Matthews for Psychology 1. He has interesting lectures, very helpful and keeps the class involved. He is the kind of professor that wants you to enjoy the class and material and will do everything to make sure you understand the lectures. The tests are mostly out of the book so you have to read the chapters to pass.

Amazing professor! Truly cares about his students and ensures you understand the material. Very approachable and never makes you feel less than smart. I took his Saturday morning class, best decision ever. Never a dull moment, his passion for teaching is apparent. Two tests and six papers. Read the textbook and you shall do fine. Highly recommend

Dr. Bob is very inspirational, a beautiful soul and a great person to be around. He is energetic and keeps his lectures interesting. The only bad thing is that he is very unclear about what he expects of his students. No one in the class seems to understand what they're suppose to be doing. There is no homeworkstudy guides so it's hard to study.

He is one of the best teacher. I am so glad to take this course with him. He really care about his students. He has a lot of experience in this field and he loves what he does. Read your book and pay attention in class and you will be fine. No wonder he was chosen as a teacher of the year. He really is the best teacher.

Dr. Bob's the most charismatic and caring professor I've ever had. He makes sure that the class's energy levels are high and keeps us fed every morning. Yes, he brings the class food! Take him, you won't regret it! :) He doesn't provide a schedule on the syllabus so it can get confusing but just ask him and he'll be glad to help you

Dr. Bob is one of the best professors at Saddleback! He is hilarious and so culturally in tune with everyone. Definitely take the time to get to know him, he is so caring and wants everyone to pass his class. There is a lot of memorization, however Dr. Bob makes the material so easy to learn. Easy A and a fantastic professor too! You're the best!

Matthews only had two tests, the midterm and the final. It was all pretty easy. He's also one of the best teachers that's at saddleback. Class was really easy. Had lots of fun. He also gave out lots of food during the entire semester. With the exams, we had to turn in a couple of essays. Two pages, with three subjects, then a 5 page research paper.

Professor Bob is very caring and nice. His class is fun and interesting. He always brings snacks for everyone so we can stay alert and learn a lot for 3 hours of class. He lectures by giving examples and telling interesting stories. There are many extra credit opportunities. I recommend you take his class if you want an enjoyable experience.

There is no one like Dr. Bob! I have never enjoyed a psychology class so much in my life! He is thoughtful, engaging, fascinating, and all around one of the best teachers I've ever had in my life. Take any of his classes - you will not regret it!

Dr. Bob is amazing. He is extremely over qualified as a professor and just an overall amazing and accomplished man. He is defiantly the best teacher I have ever had and cares so much about each one of his students. He has so much love to give. If you get to take his class you should consider yourself lucky ! :)

Great and caring professor! Loved his class, had a night class and his aid was bringing cookies to every class. Overall he is a great guy and definitely knows a lot, very caring to students and understands that things happen if you won't make it to class or something. Would love to take him again anytime if I need a class.
