Mr. King is a great professor. He taught at the University of New Orleans and uses his own book Human Sexuality Today in class. The book is also used around the nation!!!! He is a super smart guy, extremely witty, and not afraid to lay it all out there.

If you go to class and take notes, this is an easy A. He's hysterical too. I wouldn't want to miss his class, so the fact that there's an attendance policy is totally fine. TOTALLY worth your time. Even if you're not a psych major/minor.

Anyone can easily take this class and pass--just listen to him and do the end of chapter study guides from his textbook and he usually pulls the test directly from those questions. This class is truly life-changing and I recommend it to everyone thinking of it.

He is by far one of the best professors I've ever had. He knows how and when to inject appropriate humor into his lectures. He makes his expectations clear for the class and tells you how to get an A. Study the student study guides for the exams. You don't need to take notes during class- just sit and listen to the lectures which are pretty funny.

Bruce King does not allow electronic devices in his class, so you wont be able to use your computer during class. The textbook reading was easy and fairly interesting.

Dr. King tells you the very first day what he expects from you. He does not deviate and shows no mercy. That being said, he works in 4 free absences which since this is a TuTH class that's TWO WHOLE WEEKS OF CLASS. He will work your hard but as long as you do the work this class will be a snap.
