I took his Trauma and Memory class and it wasn't too demanding, but I looked forward to his classes and learned a lot. He's a soft-spoken guy, but he's also funny.
Oh, what to say about Casey? He's just a lovable goof, who happens to be extremely smart and dryly funny. Above all, he is a good teacher, and has a good rapport with all of his students. Will definitely make you laugh, and grades easy. He is a pretty cool guy.
I took two classes from him last year. I think I remember more from his classes than any other class, and I still talk about them. His style makes it impossible not to learn the material. I could have lived without the weekly papers.
Casey is a great teacher, with a flair for wit and humor that make his class not just interesting, but fun. I highly recommend any course he teaches! Not to mention, he IS pretty damn hot. Just sayin'.
Funny and highly intelligent. Has a passion for the classes he teaches and very down-to-earth. One of my favorite classes ever!
Deception class should be a requirement for every student. The most eye-opening class I've ever taken! His description of how the class itself could gradually turn into a cult was funny but at the same time gave me chills. Absolutely awesome instructor.
Casey is an awesome instructor. He makes the material extremely interesting, with refreshing bursts of humor here and there. He gives study guides for all of his tests which prepare you for everything that will be tested on. I'd recommend taking him for any class you can! I DEFINITELY will be taking more with him!
Casey is an awesome instructor. He makes the material extremely interesting, and uses humor here and there. He gives study guides for all of his tests which prepare you for everything that will be tested on. I recommend taking him for any class you can!
I've taken multiple classes with Casey and loved every one. He's a great teacher with a fun sense of humor both in lecture and on the tests that helps take some of the stress out of test-taking. Cannot recommend him enough. Awesome guy, easy class as long as you study your study guides and go to class.
Easy, easy, easy. Come to class, listen, and get a 4.0. He makes lectures interesting, his exams are humorous and relevant to the material, and his homework is fair along with his grading. Definitely a well-rounded professor who tries hard (it shows).
Lytle was an awesome instructor! He can make any subject interesting, and I thoroughly enjoyed how enthusiastic he is about the material. His positive attitude and humor made the class delightful, and I would recommend him to any student! Getting a good grade is possible so long as you put in the work, show up, and take notes :)
Casey is the best!!!!I've taken multiple classes with him and loved every one of them! He can make any class interesting and enlightening
He rocks, I have had him for multiple classes, and he makes dry material interesting, his classes are always fun, and your guaranteed to; laugh, be a little disgusted, and understand the material I recommend any class with him
AWESOME TEACHER! I WOULD TAKE HIS CLASS AGAIN AND AGAIN!
This was my second time taking stats, and the first time I've understood it. Lytle doesn't just fly through it and leave you hanging, he makes sure you are getting it. Awesome instructor.
The EWU psych department is Kolts and Lytle. You take them and you'll learn stuff and enjoy it at the same time.
Took him for summer quarter Deception class. Most eye-opening class I have EVER taken, and by far the best instructor I've ever had. Unlike other instructors who "pad" the time, Lytle filled the class with more than 2 credits worth of material. He is obviously excited about the topic. He literally jumps up and down.
I've taken many courses with professor Lytle (abnormal psych, Deception, human sexuality). He is gifted in making classes informative, fun, and stress free. No wonder he keeps getting teacher of the year awards in psych department. I have taken more psych classes than I need just because he is so good. Register early or you won't get in.
Extremely knowledgable and super funny! I highly recommend Casey!
Awesome!!! A lot of fun. He made Scientific Principles of Psyc fun, even though the class was super boring.
Casey's classes are 100% worth attending! He makes it fun! I won't lie, Abnormal Psych is pretty easy, and you COULD pass without going to class, but he makes going every day TOTALLY worth it. The videos he shows help too =)
He is an awesome teacher! He is funny, which really helps when remembering certain material.
This was my first class with Lytle and it taught me a LOT as an education major. My friends talk about how funny and random he is, but after learning about memory I think if you recorded his lectures you'd find his humor and tangents are not random, he uses it to get the stuff in your head. Not a surprise he teaches deception. ;-)
Casey is totally fun and extremely knowledgeable about psychology. He makes class easy to pay attention to with all of his energetic exclamations and jumping around when something is particularly exciting. Awesome teacher all around.
Casey was amazing! The way he teaches is super helpful. His power points will really help with the tests. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he made me want to come to class with how interesting it was! He has a great sense of humor, which also helps! I would highly recommend taking him if possible! :)
The way Casey presents his information is awesome. I learned so much during his class and will be taking more courses from him in the future. He keeps you interested in his lectures and you want to attend class. I wish more teachers were as interesting as him!
Casey is awesome! I was worried taking stats, but Casey made the concepts easy to understand! It got a little confusing towards the end, but it's just because of the tricky formulas. Casey really makes the formulas easy to understand and he uses a lot of examples to help. Take CSBS320 with Casey! You won't be sorry.
I usually hate day-long classes, and Psyc of Murder was two days in a row, but I've had Lytle before so I knew it would be different. When you have the most exciting instructor on campus teaching the most interesting subject it's going to be WOW! And it was. I would sit through those days again just to pick up what I missed the first time.
I took General Psyc over the summer. Initially, I dreaded the 3 hours/day lectures, but they were always informative and entertaining. Class was never boring, that's for sure.
Fun class but way to many online tests. Don't really benefit though from test questions that are contradictory with he book. Overall, he's cool. Different guy.
class attendance is mandatory as his weekly quizzes are taken from lectures and weekly homework is taken from the book. I could've done better than a B if I had a newer ed. book! ask him why do stores put MD 20/20 on the bottom shelf! or anything about kids & Santa Claus! he's hilarious, I would take classes from him again and doing so now
As previously stated attendance is needed to answer his weekly quizzes correctly. He is very laid back, very funny, and great to ask random psyc questions to. Highly recommended.
Took his class last quarter. the things he said in class that were on the tests. kind of screwed my quiz scores. But he is real funny. recommend taking his class
awesome teacher, very funny, this is a seminar (deception)class which I would recommend to anyone, he also teaches a seminar on the psychology of murder, it will be fascinating when it's available! I would recommend him for any class.
He's absolutely my favorite professor! Hands down the best professor I've ever had!
Casey is an amazing professor, who deserves a permanent position at EWU. He is hilarious, easy to talk to, open and an excellent professor. Plus he likes to read RateMyProfessor! Great class. Learned a lot and had fun too. Tests are from slides, book, and class discussions. Show up, do the work, learn a lot and enjoy!
I have so far taken 3 classes from Lytle because he's super cool. Very easy, I got a 4.0 and he makes class really understanding. Gives extra credit and is very fair about everything. Definitely take him!
Very entertaining professor, class was interesting and easy to pass as long as you went to class most of the time and paid moderate attention. He seemed as if he definitely wants everyone to succeed.
I believe in traditional values. So I was ready to hate everything about this class. Lytle surprised me. He challenged me without making me feel threatened or defensive. And because of that he made me think about things in a different way. I can't say I wasn't sometimes infuriated and offended, but I understand much more than before.
Casey is hilarious and always makes class interesting. If you don't go to get answers for the online quizzes, it's worth it to go for pure enjoyment. I recommend him to everyone.
I had Lytle for Psychology 100 and I don't regret having him. He is by far the best professor I've had. His teaching style is amazing because it makes everything so easy to learn. He's awesome, and I definitely reccomend him.
The best stats teacher to take. Don't need your textbook if you go to class, notes on his presentations are enough. 5 test including the final (which is take home) and he drops the lowest test score. I had this class at 8am and he still managed to make it easy and understandable. TAKE THIS PROF
Casey is awesome and I took many classes from him. I graduated but every time I look back and reflect on my psychology undergrad classes, I think of Casey. His classes were so much fun and I loved his dark humor. He made the most boring topics fun, and didn't over do assignments. Go to class or the online exams will be hard. Plus you should anyway
Without question best prof that EWU has. 5 Tests plus a final. 2 papers. Attendance isn't required, but his lectures are great, and he makes it all interesting. Lytle
Professor Lytle is one of the best professors at EWU! He doesn't take attendance but you'll not want to miss his informative and hilarious lectures. He's intriguing to listen to and has vast knowledge about many areas of psychology. I'd Take him again for any class, he's AMAZING!!! Plus, he's adorably quirky.
Psyc of murder was the darkest class I've ever taken but I've never laughed so hard in a class. I cant imagine anyone other than Lytle being able to do that class without making it unbearably depressing.
Favorite professor I've had so far!
Very cool instructor. Very mature, adult class setting. Very informative. Exams and homework are all online, no textbook required. Power points are provided on canvas. Attendance a must at times when viewing videos, questions about videos might pop up on exams. Mr. Lytle made the class interesting, and I've learned a lot in his classes.
Does an amazing job of keeping lectures interesting, entertaining, and informative.
Without a doubt my favorite teacher at Eastern. If he's teaching it, I'll take it! If you attend class the tests; which are all online, will be a breeze. He is very funny and keeps class interesting. He makes learning the material very enjoyable.
This teacher is great! I would take him again for any class. The thing I liked most about taking abnormal psyc with him is that he made it so interesting and kept it light hearted and fun.
All I can do is repeat what everyone else is saying: he is an amazing prof, hands down my favorite. I looked forward to his class every day. I can't encourage you enough to take his human sexuality class; best class ever. Besides his humor, he's very validating of students and gives good advice. & he is quirky adorable; you'll get a crush on him.
He's an amazing professor. Why can't all the psychology professor be like him. He is so cool and seriously I took all his class before. I missed alot of classes and still got good grades at his class.
Well online his tests aren't based on lectures so much and are kind of confusing. He is a great psychology professor online if you are looking for an easy psychology online class.
I have no idea how to describe Lytle. Except that you'll never have an instructor like him.
Casey is hands down one of the best professors at EWU. You become enthralled by his lectures and by him. The way he teaches helps you absorb and retain the information better than your usual run-of-the mill professor. As others have mentioned, you leave his class having developed a crush on this intriguing, quirky, intelligent and sexy professor.
Casey Lytle is the best professor I have ever taken, He's inspirational, and gets you excited about learning, he makes any topic interesting.
I can't imagine anyone but Casey teaching the Psychology of Murder class. He makes even a dark content class enjoyable, informative and funny. The material is interesting as well as his lectures. Show up to class, pay attention and you'll pass any of his classes. There's a reason he continues to win Psychology Professor of the Year!
Casey Is by far the best professor I've had at Eastern Washington University! He makes lectures enjoyable and keeps you interested! Make sure to show up to class, trust me you won't regret it! I would definitely take another course with Casey!
As long as you do all of the discussions and tests by the end of the course you are good. That term paper will sneak up on you though, especially since it is a work at your own pace class.
Casey is a great teacher - funny, knowledgeable, and makes everything easy to learn.
My boy is hotter than the fireball he always talks about. He's a good guy and makes lecture exciting and is always enthusiastic. My boy is handsome and cool, makes it easy to pay attention and learn.
I love how easy and fun he makes psychology. His class helped me decide to become a psychology minor. Hilarious jokes, good informative lectures, easy tests and homework. Im definitely looking forward to taking more classes from him.
He's a great teacher. Cares about the class and the information. All tests and assignments are online. Tests are difficult because they're only over what he talks about during lecture so if you weren't paying a attention at the right times you won't do well which is frustrating.
Hands down best professor I have ever had.
Amazing teacher and overall just a fun and funny guy to listen to. It feels just like talking to a friend. Tests are kind of hard because everything he does is online but he's an awesome teacher and you'll learn a lot as long as you get good grades on your tests you'll be good. He does not take attendance often
Tests are hard, but if you show up to his lectures you will get a good grade.
Professor Lyle is awesome. Most of the class is accessible online. You have HW assignments that you can take up to 3 times and quiz's online that are about 30 questions.
I love Professor Lytle! he is so funny and all around a great teacher! You have to take him! He's an easy A if you just try and you'll learn a lot from him if you come to class every day. His style of teaching is so fun, he knows how to make the lectures entertaining.
Awesome professor. The textbook is free but I only read it the first week of class. Encourages doing homework in groups and testing in groups. Tests and homework is pretty much whatever he covers in class. Posts his slides online, but don't expect to never come to class and get an A. Lectures entertaining my fav professor so far
Honestly, super super easy class. All tests and homework are online, he drops lowest test/HW grades at the end of the quarter, and plenty of extra credit opportunities. He has a dark sense of humor, and makes psychology pretty fun to learn about.
Casey's an easy A. His tests and homework are all online and they're based off a combination of lectures and reading, so just skim the text and you're fine. And I gotta say... It's true that having a crush on the professor can make you work harder to pass the class. But Casey is so hot, it's almost to the point that it's hard to focus. Beware.
Super chill guy, a little strange but definitely made the lectures bearable.
By far one of the greatest professors. He teaches the material very well and uses repetition to help store information in your brain. He does not promote cramming and memorization like most other professors do. Honestly, if you come to class and pay attention, take good notes, you will pass the class EASILY.
Lytle is amazing! He's very clear about what he wants, and makes sure you understand him. Even in my class of 100+ people he still took the time to answer questions and emails back quickly. Very funny man. You wont regret taking him
Professor Lytle is honestly the best. I went into the human sexuality class thinking none of the material would really surprise me, but he was quick to prove me wrong. also he takes jokes too far sometimes. but it's certainly fun to watch.
I went in expecting a boring sex-ed class of stuff I already knew. I was SO wrong. It is so much more than that. I learned new things every day and went home every day talking about what happened in class. But what really makes the class is Lytle himself. I have never had an instructor who could make you so comfortable with uncomfortable material.
Easy class, just come to lectures. He's hilarious so lecture is fun to attend.
I took this class online and definitely enjoyed the layout. You can work at your own pace. There are lectures, discussions and quizzes for each module. There are a total of 8 modules. There is no final exam and only one paper due which is due half way into the quarter.
Class is made up of 10 discussions and 6 tests, your lowest test and discussion are dropped at the end of the quarter. Attendance is not mandatory however it helps immensely on the tests for what is not on the slides. Lytle is really funny and makes coming to class really easy.
Great professor. Super halarious and clear to understand. This is a very interesting class, and i've learned more than i thought i would. Do all of your work and pass your quizzes.... easy 4.0
Casey Lytle is by far my favorite prof. He does't believe in text books, so any material that he wants you to read he uploads onto canvas. Attendance isn't mandatory, but his lectures are so much fun you won't want to skip. Tests are easy, especially if you do the study guides and pay attention during lectures.
Easiest and probably the most interesting class I have taken in college so far. 6 online multiple choice tests, including the final, lowest score gets dropped. Attendance is not mandatory and most test material can be found online/in the book but I ended up going 95% of the days because the material was actually interesting. Highly recommend.
Lytle is one of my favorite professors! He makes even the most boring class (309) interesting! He is funny and quirky and the class is pretty easy. The lectures are actually fun to go to. He also doesn't use textbooks, the quizzes are online, and he gives 5% extra credit!
Would take again in a heartbeat. His lectures were always hilarious but well put together and if you did the homework and showed up most of the time you will get an A. Very easy A class
Hes so funny and so sweet! Human sexuality was great with him! So easy and entertaining.
best class i have taken at eastern so interesting new topics everyday he is super great about keeping the class engaged .
Very funny teacher. Has a special way of teaching his lectures with Hilarious comments that are related and perfect examples. Very easy class and i would recommend to everyone. Honestly hes my most favorite professor.
Pretty well structured online class. I really enjoyed the way the class was organized and the discussions were pretty easy. I actually learned a bit too along the way. Overall, a pretty great online class.
Amazing teacher, this is his last year at EWU and I'm so sad I did not get the opportunity to take future classes from him.
I really wish I had taken more classes with Lytle before he left. Really solid professor, keeps lectures interesting. Thought it would be awkward to take a Human Sexuality class from an older guy, but it really wasn't. Rotates through discussions and quizzes, all online. Pretty easy yet interesting class. If you're thinking about taking it, do it.
