He is perfect
Great professor, easy class, very helpful. Gives a study guide for every test. And most of all... he is beautiful.
He makes the class very interesting and easy. Gives you a study guide and reviews it on the week of the exam and even gives you a few extra credit opportunities. TAKE HIM AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT!! :)
This Professor is so nice and I took his class in fall 13'. He he explains everything well and will answer any of your questions. I didnt know much about Stats but he taught it so well you learn from this class. I read the chapters and reviewed his online notes and came to class everyday for lecture. He curves the tests and I got an A in his class.
he is a very good teacher , i just moved from iran to USA and i didn't understand most of the thing in class but steal i got an A'
Welcome to the next generation of professors! There's no second guessing with the way he teaches - super clear & straight forward. He makes an effort to make class fun to attend, although its not mandatory. I attended the winter session: 2 application essays, 2 exams & 1 final. You're gonna want to this HIS class.
If you actually want to learn Stats he's not the best at teaching it. Other than that he's a very easy teacher whose straightforward. Stats is more than juts the math, it's the concepts behind the math. His tests are also very easy and straight from his lectures and practice sheets he gives out. Not one of my favorite teachers.
Great teacher highly recommended he explains everything in a simple way. Very dedicated gave study guide for every test he keeps u interested I learned a lot in his class I will miss it took it for winter it was great he gave 2 easy essays and some extra credit very caring and respectful teacher. Thank you so much I wish u the best.
Couldn't have taken a better professor. He made this class as interesting and clear as possible. The study guides were very helpful. This young patient professor also takes his time to answer everyone's questions. His class was one of the few class I completely enjoyed, you won't regret taking him.
Could have taken any other teacher as good as Brian Gendron. Gendron is such a good teacher always helping out and explains the topics and lectures in the most simplest ways. He also gives only 2 very simple essays and hands out a study guide for all of his test. Great Teacher, I recommend him for anyone interested in Psych.
He was a great teacher. Very patient with everyone, and his lectures were very easy to understand. Gave study guides for every test, and posted grades very quickly. You could not ask for a better professor. Highly recommend!!
GREAT. Very clear in lectures. Very respectful to all of his students in class and OH. took in summer. 4 super easy hws, 1 midterm, final semi-cumilative. Teaches the big picture. Attendance not mandatory but *super* helpful. Book use minimal but helps with study guide. best way to get an A is to take detailed notes and study them. def take him
Must take!!! Best professor ever! Super easy assignments and one midterm and final. Final is semi cumulative. Very caring and understanding. Patient and kind. Class is not mandatory but is a must to understand topics better.
The best professor ever!
Great professor take him reasonable workload interesting lectures
I honestly learned more from the book, but this is probably due to my learning style. He gave out helpful handouts and answer keys. The assignments were also good practice for the tests. He designates review days before the tests. Provides extra credit questions on the tests. Overall, very helpful guy.
I adored this teacher! He was such a nice little guy and he was downright adorable so I found it easy to pay attention to lecture. He makes the class easy to understand and posts his slides every week. On top of that, he seemed enthusiastic about what he was teaching and had fun teaching it. I wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone and anyone.
The only thing I didn't like about his class was his powerpoint setup. It's not very detailed. It's a lot of listening and gooogling what something means. Although, it's very straight forward and it sticks to you. I hope next semester he gets more detailed in power points. Easy class, good professor, would take again.
You could print his notes before class. Gives study guides for test but you shouldn't focus on the study guide alone.
Extremely helpful and truly wants to see his students succeed. Took him for stats and enjoyed his teaching methods so much that I'm taking his psych 41 class.
Great teacher. You get a short easy moodle assignment every week. Test are multiple choice with one essay question. There is a jeopardy review before exams and most of those questions you will see on the test. Gives opportunities for extra credit. He looks like Dennis from IASIP
Literally this professor is AMAZING!! he teaches so well! if you fail his class you are a magician! his tests are straight-forward and his teaching style is very clear and understood! you don't have to attended to lectures but its necessary for passing his tests. def. recommend him!! take him you wont regret.
I had his class fall 13 i believe. I think he was fairly new, I'm sure some things have changed but I felt obligated to come write about him. I'm at UCLA now and I must say he probably teaches it way better than those professors. I use to print his lecture slides out and write notes as he talked. He cares about his students. GO TO OFFICE HRS A
Amazing professor. I wish he taught more Psychology classes. I definitely recommend taking him. His lectures are to the point and answers any questions you may have. There are 10 small assignments on Moodle and three tests throughout the semester. He doesn't take role, but you should go to class if you want a good grade.
Super professor. That is all.
Tests are super easy as long as you read the textbook, practice the problems & understand the concept. He has a lot of energy while teaching the material which makes it easier to stay focused & he is also extremely nice + attractive. Assignments were like free points & he gave a lot of extra credit towards the end of the semester.
Probably one of the best professors I have ever had. He is very clear and specific on what he wants his students to learn. Also, he makes sure that everyone knows the lecture because he reviews the previous lecture before going into another chapter. his tests are really easy as long as you read the lecture!
He is so helpful and makes sure to answer questions with precision. He definitely knows how to teach a class, and although the lectures are a bit long, he knows what he is teaching like the back of his hand. 100% would take again.
Awesome professor A+++++
very very helpful teacher- he does offer extra credit which raised my grade to an A- its super easy too. hes not that tough of a grader on his essay questions on the exams, just make sure you show up to class because he's really thorough explaining what he wants written on the essays. very funny prof and u can tell he really loves what he does!!
He was relatable cause of the age difference This class is so important for transfer, and it was not difficult being a non psychology major. He has a lot of classes so try to understand response rate for emails. He trains students for higher level of thinking in his class. One thing is its better for office hours than email for help.
Amazing professor and an easy class, as long as you go over the book and look over the notes for tests, you'll be good to pass and the homework assignments are easy as well. Gives study guides too which really help
Amazing Teacher!! Took him for Psych 41 and loved it so much I am going to take him for Psych 1 & Stats as well! Make sure to register from before though, because the line to add is always super long! He says to refer to the textbook too but you don't really need it. Just know how to apply everything on the study guide and pay attention in class!
He was a good professor and made the material as easy as possible. There were only a few tests and homework assignments. He also gave us extra credit. The last test before the final was horrible (we were warned). Study guides were very helpful!
This professor is definitely one of my favorite professors in pierce. Just pay attention in class and do a little bit of studying and you should be able to get an A in the class. Im definitely gonna take him for psych 1. He's very nice and understanding too.
He is good at teaching Psychology learned so much in five weeks. Needs to work on chapters sooner so students have better chances of learning chapter 14, and 15. Overall, best professor to take in Winter semester .
The 3hr lectures 4 days a week flew by. He was very well organized and his tests and essay questions were very fair. 2 essay questions per test. Great teacher, he is one of my favorites so far.
Prof Gendron made this class interesting. He is funny and really has a passion for what he is doing. He is approachable and helpful. Would DEFINITELY take one of his classes again.
Took this over winter and definitely taking him for 41 over summer! Very clear and helpful a few simple homework assignments and 3 exams. Gives study guide and has a review before. Great professor!
Amazing Professor. He loves what he teaches and is very passionate in helping you learn. He helps you study before tests and is not boring! Take his class. You will not regret it
Your search for a good Psych Professor is over! Gendron is amazing! I took his once a week 3hr class and it was great! He is so knowledgeable, yet humble. He provides the slides on moodle for students to print out and take notes on. He gave extra credit and the assignments weren't bad. The text isn't required, but it helped me. Take his class!
Most amazing Professor I've ever had! If I could take every class with Gendron I would! All the slides taught in class are provided online in case you miss a class. He also provides the most helpful study guides (online) before every exam. Hard to find an easy A class that you actually learn something in but this is it. Take his class!
When I first attended his class, I was shocked at how monotone he was. I found myself dosing in his lectures. However, I got used to it over time and he makes topics interesting because it pertains to everyday and future lives. If I have to take a psych class, I'll definitely look for him again.
Gendron is the best professor i have ever had! Show up to class, take good powerpoint notes, and use those notes for the study guide for the test. He will always answer questions whether in class, via email, or during office hours. He provides extra credit throughout the semester and the homework assignments are an easy way to boost your grade!
Gendron is the best stats professor out there! I have trouble with stats but he made the material very easy to understand. Its not an easy A class. You will have to study but he is the best professor to take it with. Provides extra credit and assignments really help boost your grade. Attend office hours for extra help if needed.
Make sure you know your studying style Group studynamic if possible Make sure you read ahead of this professor Do not over think your exams or expect feedback on papers. I'd ask anyway if he has time if just credit for GE don't sweat it. Avoid if pursuing psych major
Professor Gendron was honestly wonderful, he was the greatest teacher I've ever had in complete honesty. He cares about teaching the students and explains things thoroughly, also answers all your questions. Only a few assignments and all you really need to do is listen to the lectures and go over your notes to pass the exams. Highly recommend takin
I loved Gendron's Psych1 class! He makes everything very interesting and easy to understand. He is extremely organized and offers a lot of extra credit. I got %107 on the final. He is very respectful and as long as you pay attention, take good notes and study your notes you will do great in his class!
One of the easiest classes I had at Pierce. Gendron is a very sincere and caring professor. The stuff he has on his tests are super easy as it's pretty much all based on his slides. The only problem is his monotone voice, but that's just a tiny nit-pick from me. Show up to class, study his slides/study guide, you pass.
Best professor I have ever taken. He has lots of patience for those who have a little more time understanding the material. Lectures at a steady pace. Provides study guides for extra practice outside of class. And His office hours are definitely helpful. No doubt you should take his class!
Very nice teacher, he even says that a textbook is not necessary but can help to have it. I would definitely take him again.
The class is easy if you show up. You don't really need the book, his lectures are good enough just make sure to take good notes. He uses slide shows (which he posts up on canvas). 7 assigmnets ( which were fairly easy), 4 test including final. Trust me he's a good teacher you wont regret it
Gendron is such an amazing professor, his class is pretty easy. His lectures are interesting and he does not give out a lot of homework and test, ( 6-8 assignments and 3 test including final). Take this professor, he is a really good professor with an easy class that you actually learn in.
Although I just took this class just because it is required I really enjoyed his lectures. He is passionate and knowledgeable about the material, it may not be an easy A but he really would help out with any questions or concerns you may have.
He's an overall great teacher, I've had him for psych 01 and psych 41. Print out all the lecture slides and bring them to class. Great tip to get a good grade is record his lectures, it'll help you study. He's very straightforward and likes to hear some feedbacks. I did notice that in psych 41, he went in a faster paced than psych 1. He's chill!
Great teacher. Easy if you study
Professor Gendron helped me transfer to California State University Channel Islands as a Psychology major Statistics is his strongest class. I mean he teaches it very well. I started a Psych Blog, and inspired my own research in clinical psychology. If you're struggling with math take his statistics class.
Class was quiet in summer some spoke four students he teaches differently. Extra Credit yes but points deducted on one assignment. Bio Psych is mostly on exams. If not taken expect a B at least in summer. Videos are space fillers help minimal for learning tool. Specifically ted talks unless he improves course this summer
Statistics might be asked basic terms but one thing to remember diagram of distributions maybe a multiple choice question. Videos are shown less of a space filler than Psych 041. Study Guide, Jeperody he'll post. Um I think questions in class is better than office hours. For summer session form study groups if needed
I took his class for summer& he was amazing. Lectures & powerpoint slides. Attendance is not mandatory but I would recommend it bc he explains some of the concepts, gives hints for the test, & offers in class extra credit assignment. Easy online homework. Test consist of multiple choice & short essays that you can choose from. Book is not mandatory
Dr. Gendron is one of the better professors at the campus. His quizzes are not difficult and what I mean by this is the questions and answers are in the book black and white. There have been many times I've seen this issue with other professors. He takes his time to provide lecture videos and his textbook is free online. I recommend!
TAKE HIM YES PLEASE. Honestly the best professor I've ever had. He makes he material real easy to learn. 100% the best teacher ever. All easy A, please take him.
He is one of those amazing human beings out there. Attend his classes and you will learn so much. He is extremely respectful, a wonderful lecturer, and the kindest grader I have ever seen. What makes him so amazing? It is because he fully understands humans.
Mostly studied alone felt pressure, study guides not able to ask questions on. Felt cornered singled out. Nice in class till lights go off Wish differently worst experience of my career
I took this professor during a summer session and it was the best choice! He is very good at explaining the materiel. If you just follow along with the slides and write whatever he says you WILL get an A! Great professor! For this class you attendance is necessary because all the answers to the exam are on his slides!
He is absolutely the best, psych41 was my second class with him and I absolutely loved his classes, even though didn't need this class but still took it anyway because he is the best. Currently, in his Stats1 class, he is amazing, the best professor ever. Take it, will never regret.
I wish I took Professor Gendron for Psych1! I signed up for his class last semester but ended up having a long term sub for the semester. Brian is really funny, gives amazing lectures and the homework is online and very straight forward!
Brian is the reason why I changed my major! He's awesome and made me realize that I love Psychology! His lectures are amazing and very clear to understand. He always makes time for questions or to meet up with you because he truly cares . I had a lot going on and spoke to him and he was super flexible with everything. BEST PSYCH PROFESSOR EVER.
Great Class, he is improving his lectures I hope the assignment on the peer reviewed articles comes up in the future. Great idea, if I had more time I would've done some outside research. Edit essays in future if you are asked to write them He reads them
One of the best psychology professors at Pierce. He is super nice and willing to work with you. Ask him for feedback and you won't be disappointed. You have three exams, eight online quizzes, discussions every week and an essay. Don't stress it, this is a really easy class with a really great professor, he really cares, but just show him you care.
Professor gendron made a class that was supposed to be hard easy to understand, and easy to do well in.
PERFECT online class because the syllabus lists everything that is due, when it is due, and there are no surprises. Online postings are regularly graded so you always know where you stand. Dr. Gendron gives great feedback and I really learned a lot in this class.
Exams are pretty easy just study off the study guides he gives you. Lecture can be boring at times. Pay attention and take good notes because some of the things he says can show up on the test. Quizzes are easy, free 20 points and done online. 1 online discussion per week, also easy points. 1 paper which is really short. Overall, easy A.
Psych AA- T degree is coming soon in a year or so Social Psychology is a good class he only has it in the Spring If you want a perspective from a Developmental Psychologist PHD Dr. Gendron is great, and is good at lectures on the spot SPSS preview in this class was super cool, miss that class but would have appreciated it. Ask about his blog
I took a 5 week session class in the summer. Quiz's are open book. Lots of reading I personally could not keep up with it due to work however, His online Lectures are clear and easy to understand. I plan on taking him again for psych 41. Would have gotten an A if I could have dedicated more time to studying.
Take him once, for a class he is too easy and not good at helping Email no longer than a week after email once. I say, keep the conversations light on stats if possible avoid use of showing him study guides. The study guides are for the students, and he is not able to help as much now. See a tutor find a friend in class, most importantly
I say take this professor with caution, and do not keep in touch. If needed help with anything after reach out to faculty whose class you have not taken. I did not change my major cause of him. I did not know until yesterday if he says keep in touch do not write him after the class.
Go to office hours he's approachable, feel your able to email. He makes Psychology interesting with cool stories in class
I never took a Psychology class before wanted a challenge by taking it online. Having taped lectures, helped and being able to replay them along with the textbook helped. I am a passive student in class, so this prepared me to now to step out of my shell and pursue psychology further. He is great, and great for introductory psychology
Pick a major you love and he's happy He is willing to help with any questions He makes Psychology fun, relatable the exercise of survival was fun. If your not a fast test taker he won't make you feel pressured to hurry if the class finishes an exam early
He is a great professor he has tons of energy he is positive and motovational person. Please use office hours :) you won't regret it Ask about graduate school if interested
As a psychology major, I really loved his class. I took AP Psych in high school and had a horrible teacher, didn't go in depth like he does, and now I have a high grade in Psych. High school made me feel like psychology wasn't my major, but I am glad I gave it a second chance with this teacher. Amazing guy.
Professor Gendron is one the best professor in the college. If you pay attention to his lecture and take notes and study them, you will get A at the exams. He gives you an assignment after every two chapter.
Mr Gendron is really clear with his words and he accepts all the questions. He gives his quizzes online, you can take them twice. There are only 3 tests you have to take including the final and the study guides really help for the tests. He gives discussions once a week which are really helpful for the class. Definitely recommended. Easy class
He gives feedback on discussion forums, if you take his psych 13 you will always have something cool to do as a class exercise I missed two weeks of term. I managed to finish well, highest grade on psych final ever. I am grateful for that class, and hope to mirror his optimism as a professor in the field.
I had a low C in Psych 1 and learned from the textbook I liked the personal stories in class Laura Berk is a great book Great avaliablility for office hours
Best decision to take Psychology 1 But he is more therotically better in Statistics I liked this class cause of freud, skinner, and Stanley Milgrim He laughs at the bit where you'll see the experiment Yeah topics are covered fully but social psych was a great choice of all. I wonder if show a film in class to alternate from ted talks Take him
I love this professor! He's soooo chill and amazing, would suggest to take him! His exams are really easy if you study his guides he gives. He even goes over the study guides with you before the test. I've never had a professor so organised that's has lectures that are easy to understand. He even gives out a lot of extra credit opportunities.
I took professor Gendron's math class to get credit for math, and I couldn't have made a better choice. He's a great teacher and very clear and detailed in his lectures. I'm terrible at math but got a good grade in this class because of the way he teaches. I 100% recommend this class to social science majors.
Gendron was a very great professor for statistics. He goes over the material plenty of times and is extremely clear. There were never any surprises on the exams. He is very easy to approach for help. Lots of extra credit opportunities.
Lectures could be boring at times but not always. overall he was a good teacher. His class was very well organized and his class teaches you a lot. he is very nice man and is willing to help with office hours. he gives a fair amount of extra credit and it's not too difficult to get an A.
Take Psych 13 as its all about the power of the situation. Its a cool field and may interests psych or criminal justice majors. Social presence, and understanding correlations in theories. Self affirmation, and group pressure in survival game He lectures more than shows video, actively participate. Visit office hours make that time
Take either Psyc 13 or Psyc 41 his classes are great, if loaded with heavier classes. Psych Aa degree at Pierce counts this as a foundational course. Watch the vocabulary new word construal. I like Gilovich as the text author. He speeds sometimes with powerpoint
He is straight forward, lectures were easy to follow, and assignments weren't painful to do. He won't move on from the topic until he feels everyone is on track and has made his point clear. He makes it clear what will be on the tests and did not miss information for the test. There were around 5 assignments total, and test after each assignment.
Awesome Professor! He is caring and understandable . His class was interesting. Grading criteria is clear; no ambiguous questions. Definately take him for PSYC41
Gendron is the best professor I've had. The reason I say "Skip class, wont pass" is because the tests reflect the lecture notes, you DONT NEED THE BOOK!! its not necessary and will save you some money. Just go to class, study before tests, do the discussions, and you'll definitely be fine. He's a great lecturer so you wont be bored:)
I cant say enough good things about this class/professor. I took stats online over the winter session and Im awful at math so I was super nervous. Brian made it so manageable, hes so helpful. It was a lot of work but it was also a 5 week math class so that was expected. The way his class was set up was amazing. Highly recommend taking him.
I took online stat 1 during winter and I have to say that professor Gendron was amazing. Everything was very organized and I knew what I needed to do every week. 5 assignments, 3 quizzes, midterm, and a final exam in total. I really recommend taking him :)
Took Psych 1 online and I was very satisfied with the organization and structure of the course. He uploads a personal video of himself with a webcam and talks about the upcoming chapters and the topics we will be reading about. He also allows two tries on the weekly chapter quizzes. I would recommend this class.
I Just took him for the spring semester, and i couldn't have made a better choice on picking him. He's very patient and goes over what is important. He as well has videos where he explains problems from each chapter he covers, which are super helpful. Tests are not too difficult.
Not sure why people rated this professor really high. I took his Psychology 001 online summer class and I found the exams to be very difficult. There is no study guide, the video lectures are not complete, some of the terms on the exams are not even in the book or his lecture videos.
Super easy, just make sure to be acquainted with the terms, concepts, and he really goes over the concepts that you need to know on the study guide which will be your exam overall. Mostly MC on the exams and has one short answer on the back. Super easy assignments and overall, this guy is clear on what he's asking for.
Overall, this class was way too easy given that he just gives you all the formulas on a sheet paper. As long as you know WHAT to do with the formulas, you should be in good shape. Make sure to show up in class and know what he's going through because some concepts can be a little tricky. Yet the main of it is just exams and some assignments
He is amazing! I took him for psych 41 and Stats 101 and I have no regrets. He really makes sure you understand the material and gives you great feedback.
He is great! You can do well as longest you pay attention. Study guides are pretty helpful.
Best professor ever! Gives lots of extra credit and his teaching skills are amazing
Dr. Gendron is a gem, he is really great at breaking down the steps & building up moving forward. Do NOT miss class, if you must- watch the videos! 6 assignments + ex. credit (DO the extra credit to bolster your grade), 15 wkly online discussions, 3 exams, 1 final. Was TERRIFIED to take stats & he made it easy! Definitely take his STATS 101 class.
Amazing professor. Took this class with some friends. They recommended him. There are weekly discussions online. Some course work. It does not take alot of your time. At most one hour or two. The tests are straight forward if you study and pay attention in class.
Gendron is a well respected professor and he cares his students. He provides study guides for tests and finals. Hes an overall great professor there should be more professors like him. 100% recommend taking if you want to learn and are majoring in psych.
Best professor ever! please take his stat class you wont regret it. Highly recommended.
Very easy class. Prof Gendron is very nice but his class is just too boring, and a little too slow for my personal preference.
Professor Gendron is one of the best professors you will ever encounter at Pierce! He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about psychology and you will not be bored taking his class. Just make sure to pay attention during lectures and use the study guide he gives and youll do well on his exams. Also do the weekly discussions and quizzes.
This is the 3rd class I've taken with Professor Gendron. Took his Psych 41 class for winter session and was great. It was tough because of so much info, but he gets the main points of each chapter and makes it more understandable. I definitely recommend this class to anyone and would definitely take another one. Thanks professor for being awesome!
Great professor. His lectures and slides are very helpful. He always gives a review for the test. Took his course in winter so its an accelerated course but he is very clear in lectures and their not boring at all. overall great professor highly recommend him.
Honestly, if you don't try and get into his class what are you doing? He's a great professor, his class is very straightforward and never boring. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I would still recommend going to class bc it makes the test much easier. This was my favorite class fall semester.
I took a winter course with him. He was amazing. He gave you everything that you needed. The discussions were very enjoyable and a very interesting course. He was great! Definitely recommend.
Prof. Gendron is an excellent professor. He is lecture heavy, but he keeps it engaging & funny. He also uses videos, personal anecdotes, quizzes, discussions, etc. to keep it stimulating. You need to study to get an A on his test (essay qs also!) but it's low stress studying. Incredibly caring & just wants to see you do well. Interesting class!
By far the best professor I have ever had. His online class had clear and concise videos and lecture summaries, the textbook is electronic and FREE and it's very up-to date and easy to read. His assignments are easy and relevant. Two discussions per week, one quiz per week, one exam every 5 weeks. Very understanding during COVID19. A+
Not really an online learner, but he made the class pretty fun and engaging for an online class. Really recommend Brian. Great teacher and actually cares.
Dr. Gendron is an excellent professor, He gives you lessons were you're able to get ready for his discussions. His exams are a bit easy you just have to study, study! of course. There are about 2 papers which are pretty easy as well.
I took him the Spring Semester 2020 during this whole Corona Virus and stay at home, and I have to give it to this guy, he did incredible. He would record every lecture that he did so if you missed a lecture or two you could just go back and rewatch all the lectures. He explains everything so well and overall really funny, nice, and amusing guy.
His class is not a walk in the park, but he makes it some how manageable, cool guy with the youngsters, funny when it comes to keep their attention. I respect him as an instructor he's passionate about his field too passionate I would say and you'll noticed on he's quizes, exams, discussions online, because for him the class on campus is not enough
Professor Gendron is a gem! He made the transition from in-class to online (because of COVID) as stressless as possible. I recommend that you pay attention to lectures and take notes. Assignments for the class included: 3 exams, 7 quizzes, 8 discussions, and 3 one-page essays. It might seem like a lot of work but trust me its not. Easy A.
He teaches very well and was not difficult to understand. He also has several extra credit opportunities. We do not need a textbook (which was a huge financial relief).
Dr. Gendron is such an amazing instructor, It may seem like there's a lot of papers but it's manageable. take notes, pay attention and you'll pass. Don't think he's class is easy though and take him for granted. he does check your assignments pretty good and will take points off if he has to, but in the end, your effort is what it counts. take him!
Dr. Gendron is the best professor anyone could wish for. His lectures are clear and easy to comprehend, the texbook is relevant, and he engages you though weekly discussions. Every week has 2 discussions (50 words), 1 quiz, 4 total exams and 2 essays. Plenty of extra credit offered. Very fair grading system and makes lectures very interesting
Dr. Gendron is very knowledgeable in his lectures. You dont have to go to class but youll need the next book if you decide to skip class. Very kind and really cares for his students. I recommend this professor.
Prof. Gendron is a great prof. His class consists of 3 exams, 7 quizzes, 8 discussions, and 3 assignments. We had either an easy discussion or 2 attempts quiz due once a week. We switched to online due to COVID-19, but not a big difference. He had zoom lectures, they were recorded. Exams and quizzes were open book, not proctored. Take notes, study!
I loved his class. I learned so much and it didnt seem boring everything was interesting and beneficial. He is young and he really just wants you to understand the concepts because he answers every question and doesnt make you feel bad about anything
Really gave me a shot to shine during the winter session. I went to his office hours everyday and by going, one can truly tell he's an amazing professor and a really good friend. He's always trying to help his students be the best they can be. Easily one of the best professors I have taken!!
Honestly one of the best professors I've ever had! His lectures are super engaging and he really cares for his student's success. The textbook is free and the quizzes/exams are really easy as long as you do the readings. He has made online learning in these difficult times really manageable and fairly easy. Would definitely take him again!
Prof. was super informative and I really enjoyed how much I learned. Lots of reading, do not get behind! Quizzes and assignments every week. Teacher is really cool and really cares about his students. His lectures are organized and if you just do all the work you will not only learn a TON of cool stuff, but you'll get an A. It's a great class!
Mr Gendron was a great prof and made stats pretty easy, I honestly just struggled because he didnt really go over questions he would put on the exam and it would make it hard to understand the questions on the exams and how to do them since we hadnt went over it enough. Overall it was a good class and i shockingly did great on the assignments.
He's an amazing prof. He gets straight to the point and is great at explaining things. He's also relatable and isn't uptight. Very lenient and if you talk to him he'll help you however he can. Not strict at all. Offers extra credit every week. Do the work and it's an easy A, the work isn't hard at all.
such a good teacher. He is really nice and cares about his students. You can receive two points extra credit each week if you do and extra assignment which is really easy. I wish he taught every psychology so I could take it with him!!
Lifespan Psych with Dr. Gendron online was a great class. His lectures are interesting, and he makes them very relatable to every day life. The professor is super humble, mellow, no ego, and his assignments/tests are all fair. He taught in a way that made the textbook optional, and I passed with an A without the book. An amazing professor!
Professor Gendron is a gem! Excellent, straight forward and good grader, he gives amazing feedback regarding your responses and assignments. I really recommend him because he makes you feel like you're doing good, trying your best and you're doing fine. I feel like that's important because school can be stressful so it's good to have.
Gendron is a really great professor. The tests are harder than what you learn from the modules, but overall they were fine. Scored a B and above on everything. You have discussion posts every week and you have to keep up with the modules if you want to do well in this class. Zooms are mandatory, he records them but you better watch them- they help!
I knew he was a good teacher at the very beginning. He really shows he loves teaching Psychology but he cares about his students more. He understands every student has their own problems to deal with, he's the best! His nonmandatory lectures can take place in very early times or times that you may be occupied but he's always available when in need.
He is very caring and definitely has passion for teaching
Professor Gendron is very caring and makes everything clear and easy to understand. Just watch his lectures and do your assignments and you will pass his class. he gave us extra credit opportunities every week.
Amazing professor and super understanding. The material is fairly easy as long as you do the readings and so are the quizzes. He is really nice and provides great feedback on your work. 10/10 would recommend.
Professor Gendron is a great teacher! His class did not require the textbook, and you didnt really need it because he already goes over the important ideas in his lectures. Very approachable when you need help. He cares more about students learning than just memorizing. Recommend!!
Review for a SUMMER course: RAPID LEC delivery (time), so plan to record it & reshape notes as needed. The TEXTBOOK SUMMARIES are helpful. He ends LEC 10m early, so prepare Q's you may have. Offers study guides & lecture slides. ATTENDANCE HELPS as the quizzes & exams are heavily LEC based. Casual language use makes the content very digestible.
I attended the Summer 5-week hybrid class. His lecture is easy to follow and he makes sure his students understand by making it less complex. His grading criteria are simple and he is an easy grader. He allows late submission. Although I was late for my essay, which is supposed to be turned in on the last day of the course, he still accepted it.
He mostly gave us discussion assignments and the tests/quizzes weren't difficult. He is a light grader, not strict, not rude, and he is great at explanations.
He's one of the best professors I've ever had. Attendance is not mandatory, but I highly recommend going because you learn so much. All the quizzes and exams are online and open-book. Even the final! He's caring and is really passionate about what he teaches. Very easy class if you pay attention.
If you are planning to take PSYCH 001 I definitely recommend this Professor. He provides the textbook online for free, PowerPoints slides to take notes, and very understanding video lectures if taking him online!:)
Psych001- Weekly extra credit, discussion and open book/note quiz. Three exams, 2 interesting essays. Engaging and interesting lectures and he is very approachable and cares about students. Responds to emails.
Best Professor I've had and class is very success-oriented. You have weekly extra credit opportunities and discussions. Not many papers, and quizzes every few chapters. I didn't use the textbook because he goes over the chapters on recorded zooms. You have to watch 10 zooms per semester and summarize, but otherwise not mandatory. Highly recommend!
Professor Gendron is great! I have learned so much from his lectures. He knows his stuff, and if he doesn't know something, he says Idk. Also, he is very respectful toward his students and their comments. Truly a great professor!
Amazing, professor! I enjoyed his lectures and learned so much. Take his class; you will learn so much.
He's amazing. Lectures are very easy to follow along and fun to participate in. If you don't want to attend classes, read the textbook. If you go to lectures, the textbook isn't as needed. Regardless, the lectures are better. He's also eager to learn, which makes him even more respected. I enjoyed his class.
I took Psych 41 as a Winter Class, no zoom meetings or anything. Professor Gendron is one of the best professors I have ever had! The exams aren't too difficult as long as you study but he covers most of the material. In the discussions he gives you feedback along with your essays. He's super chill and I loved this class, definitely recommend!
Wonderful person. A very smart professor. He zoomed in and explained all the chapters in easy to understand language. I highly recommend taking his course.
best teacher! took for winter sem, very easy. don't need to read book for finals/quizzes/assignments unless you don't attend lectures. in lectures, he covers EVERYTHING you need for tests! essays and assignments overall very easy. good to communicate for extensions with. made lectures easy to listen to. open note weekly quizzes, multiple choice!
Currently taking this Professor for P41 atm, I'm not even done yet but here to say He is an awesome Professor. He goes over slides during lecture and make sure everyone understands. When you asks questions He always answers them in detail and gives great examples and always says "great question". Great class taught by a great Professor.
Just wants to teach us and the work is very easy as well. Every other week we have a discussion, and a quiz on the weeks we don't, and a test every 5 weeks. Overall his class was really easy to pass. He is a great professor with really in depth lectures. He is accessible outside of class and attendance is not mandatory.
He is a great professor! The work load isn't super heavy. Quizzes and exams are straight from the lectures. Lectures are very interesting and easy to understand. This is a very good introductory course. Professor Gendron is very well-spoken, kind, and engaging. I would highly recommend his psychology class!
This is my second class with Prof Gendron, and he is amazing. I highly recommend him for any class. He has a knowledgeable way of teaching stat concepts. He has assignments and discussions and three tests including the final that you take online. You should take him for any of the classes he teaches! I highly encourage it!
The textbook is free and online, I found the course very engaging and interesting, especially the final essay.
Great professor! The way he teaches makes concepts easier to understand. Very caring and accessible outside of class. Would recommend!
Great teacher. Tests are straight from the lectures and very easy if you pay attention. You actually learn a lot in his class.
Great professor. Cares about the success of his students. Make subjects easy to understand. He puts lots of effort into his lectures that you learn so much from. Very well spoken and engaging. Would definitely take again.
Brian is such an amazing professor. He tells you exactly what you need to know and is always happy to start a discussion on the topic during class. He wants students to pass and truly cares about his students. The lectures are amazing and I was always excited to go to this class. The material is easy if you just look pay attention to what he says.
Professor Gendron puts out what is expected of you in assignments which makes getting high marks on assignments very easy. Attendance was not mandatory and all quizzes and exams were online, open-note and open-book. He gives you good feedback on your assignments and this class was generally very easy as long as you keep up with up.
Such an easy, yet interesting class. I stopped attending after the first few weeks and still got an A. Most of the answers are on the slides/textbook, and the two papers are pretty easy, just email him if you have questions. He also rlly nice and his quizzes/exams/discussions are all pretty easy!
Brian is an exceptional professor! He cares deeply for his students and their learning. There are 2 discussions posts each week followed by a short quiz; all quizzes and tests are open-note. Brian provides honest and constructive feedback for many assignments. You are bound to succeed in his class. I highly recommend.
Dr. Gendron is an awesome professor. First, the class is well organized. He ensures students have many opportunities to ask questions, Such a wonderful professor and I highly recommend to any student who values learning and getting something out of a class that they can apply to their everyday lives.
Incredibly understanding professor. There is weekly homework, with common sense there's no reason you shouldn't get full credit every time. Tests are very easy to study for, multiple choice questions. There are a handful of small papers/assignments. He really values your perspective and appreciates participation. Very easy class.
Great teacher, you can use the textbook for all tests.
Professor Gendron makes the class engaging and approachable. Quizzes and tests are manageable, and lectures are informative. I found Unstuck ai helpful for exam prep. Overall, a great class to take.
Such a great professor!! Has so much knowledge and assignments are so easy. Discussion one week and quiz the next and it is the same throughout the semester. 2 essays, I midterm and an in-person final. Easy A.. Overall, AMAZING professor!!!! 5 stars!!!
I had a good time in this class, the professor is always patient with questions and has humility when he may not know an answer (he'll almost always get back to you with an answer the next class). I think I wanted a little more diversity on the way things are taught, it is pretty lecture heavy, but overall it was a good class and I would recommend.
I took Professor Brian for Stat101 and Psych13, his class was genuinely the highlight of my week. He is well-organized and keeps students engaged in the subject. His materials were always available on the class page and he even provided practice problems for quizzes in my Stats class! He really is just a chill guy, I hope to learn more from him! :)
Great professor, assignments are really simple and is willing to grade late work.
