Jeffries is one of the best teachers I have ever had. His objectivity and ability to address the truth shocked me into the harsh reality of this world. His openheartedness made me love the world for what it is though and learn the best way to deal with it
Charles Jefferys is invariably one of the greatest teacher's that I've ever had the pleasure of learning with. I completely opposed academia until I took a class with Mr. Jeffrys. In fact, I've since moved on to a Master's program at one of the nations premier institutions. I owe a debt to Charles.
Dr. Jeffries is fabulous. He's a bit raw at times, but genuinely sincere and challenges his students to think. LIke many instructors at SCCC, he's a true asset to quality education and helping students find their way.
very helpful and caring. very inthusiasic also
good proffessor
A very good teacher. You can tell that he's very interesting in psychology because he can get carried away with his topics.
Wow, I've never once felt sleepy during one of his lectures.. even though I'd only get a max. of 5.5hrs of sleep a day. He's always willing to listen to any of the students' comments; he's always willing to help.He'd even take time off to go help one of his students with their personal problems.Take him if you want to take psychology! He knows all!
Charles Jeffries is the worst prof I've ever had. His lectures are 50%+ irrelevant ramblings, and he continually says things that are quite simply and obviously untrue. Plust his exams are a pain in the a**
One of the best professors i've taken at sccc. His personal touch on teaching really lights up the whole class environment. Very enjoyable class.
No Comments
This class was the easiest class i've ever taken. No HW. Just 4 tests on the lectures. He sometimes ramble about stuff but its effective. I didn't show up alot of days and still got a good grade.
Mr Jeffrey's is a nice man. I like him a lot. He is one of the worst teachers I have ever had. He could reuse old tests that he had given another quarter, Subsequently there was some information that he hadn't covered on them. He repeated the same parts of lecture each week and touched on some topics he new nothing about. Some things had absolutely
Some things he touched on had absolutely nothing to do with psych. "roth IRA". He hadn't even looked at te text book he ordered for class, which turned out to be useless. He didn't even use it. Better to write down the main points of lecture and use Google to get correct info. We watched a lot of videos, and he would leave. Easy class, learnded 0.
Jeffreys is a terrible teacher. He exudes a monstrously slanted vision of the world. His sloppy, graceless teaching style is devoid of any insight whatsoever. His tests are pathetic--they are filled with mistakes and idiotic questions with no relevance to real life.
Jeffreys is hands down the worst professor I've ever had. He rambles, he loses paperwork, he's incredibly offensive for a psychology teacher. You'd think, as this is his field, he'd have some tact. He was condescending and refused to answer questions. He also says things in class that are blantantly untrue. He appears to not know his field at all.
Charles Jeffreys is probably one of the funniest guys I have ever met. His ramblings make him interesting, and forces me to pay attention. What a good guy. For real.
One of the worst teachers I have ever had. We spent about two weeks just watching movies. The only thing I learned from this class was learned from the book. If you just want a good grade but don't want to learn much, take this class.
WORST TEACHER AT SCCC. Do NOT take this guy if you actually want to learn anything related to psychology. Never used the book and would talk about contemporary pop culture. This class was a total waste of my time- AVOID this man! I'm sure he's a good guy, but he's totally useless as a teacher. Please please PLEASE don't take any of his classes!
Jeffreys is AWESOME. Haters need to shut up and realize they attend a COMMUNITY COLLEGE. If you want to learn some drug industry-financed textbook psychobabble and go hock Prozac and Ritalin to suburbanites, don't take his class. If you're interested in how psychology relates to modern life and need 5 GPA-boosting credits, take his class.
Jeffreys is a very nice teacher. I recommend him if you have to take psychology...very easy class, always there if you need help
Jefferys is a great teacher. His classes are interesting and he uses humor to make otherwise dry material more understandable. His classes are also easy and great for a GPA boost. I have had him for two of his classes now, and will be taking him in the future as well. I would recommend him as a teacher to anyone interested.
What a joke! The guy is terrible! Do not take a class from this guy! He does not know what he is saying, can barely speak and write, and is completely disorganized. It's depressing to think that this guy was actually able to get a teaching job at a higher education institution. He is the WORST INSTRUCTOR I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!!!
Easily the worst teacher I've had at Seattle Central. He was totally unprepared for his lectures. One out of every four to five classes was spent watching videos. Take his class if you want an easy A but aren't interested in actually learning.
A GREAT teacher! Very knowledgeable, gives little homework, super organized and very funny! His class is really informative and if you attend class its an easy 4.0. What could be better than that?!
Jeffreys was definitely one of my favorite professors at SCCC! His teaching style kept my interest - and kept me awake! He's really entertaining, funny (if you're intelligent enough to understand or don't have a personality disorder that disables your ability to understand it), informed, & uses psychological questions that pass over most heads!
Great class. He was entertaining and I learned a lot but there is absolutely no homework! zero! Its a great class for someone who has a busy life, because there is no outside work apart from studying for tests, and missing class is no problem. Everything he covers is in the book, and he never once took attendance. Really nice guy too.
If you like Professor Livingston you will like Jeffreys too.
He is awesome!!!
A wonderful teacher. Fun, informative, and helpful. I had Dr. Jeffreys for PSYC200 & 220 in the same quarter and wasn't able to attend class for a month to due illness(I never missed class that long before) and Dr. Jeffries helped me back up. I got a B+ in 200 and an A- in 220 with some studying. Fun and helpful lectures, movies, and chess games.
Same person as below. Show up for class. The lectures are important, and also fun. Many movies shown in class. If you have interest in the subject, Dr. Jeffreys is the right instructor for you. Kate Wolfe is also great, but I would have killed myself if I missed her class for a month. Dr.Jeffreys will work with you if you need his help. A great man
I took this course last spring quarter; and am still realizing what a genius this man really is! You will learn more about yourself from him, than you will from yourself! I recommend this course to everyone especially those who don't intend to major in psychology!!!
My mane may man Jeffery. he is one of the best teacher at this school. if you're having trouble finding your self in psychology this the guys your gonna have to look for. he will definitely put the book in your brain and make u to love psychology. I love you Jeffrey. i wish if you teach other subjects too. you the man keep it up and god bless you.
i left his class with a 4.0 and i went to his class almost everyday. i realized he test us on his examples from the vocab words. so if you skip class, its your loss . also he uses powerpoints which were really helpful.
awesome teacher, lots of energy, keeps you interested, uses real life examples and teaches what he knows instead of just teaching from a book best professor i've had so far!
Mr.Jeffreys is oneof the greatest teacher you could have .
He's a great teacher, the class is so interesting and you won't want to miss it. Plus, it's not recommended to miss it because the tests are based on the notes you take. He has a lot of energy and great personality, i have learned so much in this class.
He keeps his lectures interesting. He has lots of jokes that keeps the class engaged. This was my favorite class and professor. Take good notes, lots of questions comes from lectures. He plays lots of youtube and video clips and will throw in some test questions from av.
Jeffreys is an amazing teacher. He brings a different twist to the general beliefs in college psychology and keeps his lectures interesting and factual. He clearly states when something is only his opinion and unlike many professors gives all of the facts. I enjoyed his thoughts and beliefs so much I used him in a paper for another class.
Pretty easy class. I didn't touch the book at all and still received a 3.4 (I studied off the notes I took from lecture). His tests are fairly easy and he has no homework. I would take him again.
FOR MOST OF THE TIME, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT.
I do not think this is a easy class and I have no idea how much GPA I can get from the class. I learned all PPT from his website and attended whole quarter but I still can not understand the very hard test , usually get a B or C
I won't recommend his class to my freinds.He likes talking about things not related to class materials.I didn't learn much from his class.Most materials he taught were covered in PSY 100.You can see some questions you don't learn in class.You can't get your test paper back,so you don't know what you got wrong.Regret taking his class
Simply not a good teacher. He was very disorganized and mostly off topic. The test questions were poorly written and arbitrary. They did not test for comprehension of the material but rather if you could remember the name of such and such researcher. He's a nice guy, and pretty flexible too, but he's a terrible instructor. Take anyone else.
HIS LECTURE WAS INTERESTED, BUT YOU MIGHT CONFUSE WITH CLASS TOPICS. TESTS ARE NOT THAT DIFFICULT BUT YOU NEED TO MEMORIZE WHOLE THINGS EVEN HIS LECTURES. IF YOU LOST POINTS ON TEST, YOU CAN GET BACK FROM EXTRA CREDITS. HAVE PERSONAL MEETING WITH HIM AND IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO YOUR GRADE!!
Very fun class! great teacher. He is very funny. I enjoy his class a lot and received 4.0. Good luck with the class!
I love Jeffreys! As long as you come to class and read the chapters you will get a good grade, easy. He is a very fun teacher to have, he is funny and knows how to get you to remember information. We watch a lot of videos and movies but a good amount. I would encourage anyone to take his class!
AMAZING teacher. Lectures were great, very understanding. I had him for psychology 220 & 250. I enjoyed and learned a lot
He is full of energy in lectures, but is assigning 2-3 chapters almost per week, and is lecturing on material we haven't read yet as though we should know it already and I'm feeling very rushed. I wouldn't recommend this class very highly.
Not quite sure where some of he negative comments about Jeffreys are coming from. Yes, his tests are hard, but if you paid attention, took good notes, and, most importantly, *reviewed the material on a regular basis* you should do fine. Make sure you take notes on everything he says and his nicknames for psychology concepts. It will be on the test!
I am very sure if only you listen to the teacher and attend every day class you would get above 3.5 and if you make the efforts of reading your notes 3.9 and if you add reading the textbook then 4.0. If you are sure and want to learn take him.
He is the one to be taken if you want to fully equip yourself with psychology 100 and get 4.0
This class was easy and that was a huge letdown for me. Lectures consisted of a lot of videos. The textbook was interesting, but completely unnecessary to course work. The tests--which your grade is based on--were basically seeing if you showed up and memorized stuff, not any true understanding of concepts.
Jeffreys is a super nice guy. His tests are straight from the lecture, and he usually makes it pretty clear what the important concepts for the arewill be. If you show up to class, you'll do well on the tests. If you answer his questions in class, he'll give you a good participation grade. He does tend to rabbit trail in lectures, but no big deal.
-Attendance is a fair part of your grade. -Lectures can be pretty funny and Jeffrey's is a lively guy. -Tests are no joke, take notes, pay attention to in-class videos, and utilize his web site.
Read and heard good reviews which is why I took him for life span but I feel disappointed. I can tell he tries to make lectures fun but it just... doesn't work? I fall asleep most of the time because it's just BORING. He kinda ruined the subject for me. .__. His tests are easy to pass, gives reasonable curves but I just want this quarter to end..
An outstanding and intelligent Instructor who knows his stuff and also wants his students to succeed. His class is welcoming and he values participation from everyone. He is passionate about this class. This is college and treats students like they are in college. He challenges you to work hard and if you do you will succeed. Not a class for lazy bones. Always willing to help and answer queatioins. He makes himself available to students which is great. He is so good I took his class twice! Outstanding Insructor.
Simply awesome instructor. Clearly a smart Professor. Attending classes was crutial and you learn a lot if you attend classes. Always ready to help and gives students good feed backs. He makes students excited about learning and lecures are interesting and engaging. Well respected and respecful. If you are ready to work hard, then be ready to suceed. He has had a great Impact on me.
Jeffrey's is awesome, he understands that college is tough for most people, and makes a genuine effort to help kids get through it. This doesn't mean he skimps on material, I wrote a lot, both from the lectures and the notes, and when I was sick or missed class he was helpful in getting me a better grade. More teachers should be like this.
Well rounded teacher, his teaching methods are low stress and innovative. He lectures with visuals or has the class watch movies, very few assignments, but tests are no Joke. You have to know what you're talking about. It's your fault if you don't know the material, his lectures are hella informative and open ended so it's easy to learn.
Jeffreys is a nice enough guy, but his class lacks any clear direction. He's difficult to near impossible to reach via email or phone in case of emergency. The exams are a confusing duo of multiple choice questions and a few essay questions, and there's no reviewing of class material before each exam. Expect to watch lots of videos & documentaries.
The only homework is to study for the tests so you won't waste a ton of time doing homework for this class. Jeffreys grading criteria are clear. Jeffreys has a good sense of humor which many teachers lack. His lectures are interesting and engaging because he constructs his lecture from interesting sources instead of preaching from the textbook.
Charles Jeffreys is an excellent instructor. He has entertaining lectures and gives fair tests. He gives alot of opportunities to work on your grade, by giving lots of exams. He also gives extra credit. He's available during office hours.
Jeffreys is friendly. But this is the worst class I have ever taken. He has zero self-awareness; expect him to interrupt students, tell the same story up to 7-8 times, reference tv and movies for most of his "real life examples", give astonishingly poorly prepared tests, show movies 1/4th of his classes, and be unprepared for lectures. Turn back.
Great teacher, he really is passionate about psychology and knows the material. Would take again, really great teacher. Doesn't take attendance but if you don't go to class you won't pass the tests because there is material that isn't in the book thats on the tests.
Jeffreys is so fun. I laughed in class every day. His classes are more like a hangout than a lecture. This means that if you want to pass, you have to participate. Hes not going to spoon feed you information, you have to care. Do the reading, go to every class and always ask questions if you're confused or don't know what to study. He'll help.
Jeffreys is a really great teacher. His grading criteria is very straightforward. If you come to class, pay attention, and take good notes you will get A's on every test. There are no other assignments besides class participation and tests, so come to class. If you do, you'll do well on the tests. He gives extra credit but you have to ask him.
Jefferys knows a lot of material by heart, and clearly has a passion for psychology, BUT he is VERY casual, and sometimes it felt more like a random discussion than an actual class. I never got around to buying the textbook, but it was still a super easy A as long as you attend the class and take the tests. Probably wouldn't take him again.
His teaching is kind of confusing and need to read a lot from the text book and remember it. Need to take notes for the videos he showed in class, or you can not get good grade for texts.
Great professor! Show up to class take notes on what he is saying, make notecards and pass tests thats what I did and I got a 4.0 not super hard but you learn a lot.
Jefferies is unprepared for class and is an extremely ineffectual teacher. His powerpoints are incomplete, he shows irrelevant movies all class. He barely knows how to use a computer. The tests are ambiguous and irrevelant to the textbook material. He doesn't follow the syllabus, and class structure is a foreign concept. Stay away if you can!
He has great analogies to help you understand the course. He's personable, and makes sense. He cares about the students, and helps everyone anyway he can.
Jeffrey's is an awesome proff. he gives you good feedback, makes class participation, group work and quizzes as easy as possible by making sure that you have what you need to get a passing grade while understanding all of the material. He allows notes to be used because IRL you get to write notes. Oh! and get ready for ALL of the corny dad jokes.
Graded solely on the tests which was cool bc there's no homework. Also graded on a curve! You don't need the textbook, tests were lecture based so come to class or you might miss something. Really great examples but some main concepts he used movie references so if you haven't seen it, you're lost. Doesn't use canvas though :( great overall
Learn about the historical forces that have impacted the African American community. Learn coping strategies to deal with challenges that may arise in your academic and professional careers. Highly recommended for students of color and our allies.
I enjoyed his passion for psychology and all the facts he told us, there were a few movies we had to watch but most of them related to what he was talking about. I wish he used the computer system cause a few times he didn't show up due to his kid being sick or something else but besides that he's a friendly guy and his grading system is fair.
He is very friendly and incorporates real life scenarios into the lecture. What he says in class is most likely what will be on the test, so attendance in key. The test are not difficult if you show up to class and study your notes.
Jeffreys is an amazing Professor. Hes hilarious, teaches important information for the class and creates an overall relaxed and fun environment. He makes his lectures fun and super interesting and tests are easy as long as you take notes. He doesnt grade on attendance which is really nice. Overall my favorite teacher from Seattle Cental
No homework, only tests. Tests are graded on a curve, usually 45/60 is an A but it depends. Tests are based on class lectures and readings. Usually 1-2 chapters a week, tests every 2 weeks. His test questions can be vague and he never formats anything correctly. He does offer extra credit though. A lot of his lectures have outdated material.
He gave out extra credit assignments without any specific grades. Then in the end of the course he would tell you that extra credit would not help your grade so they will not be counted. Dont waste your time, just take another class
Dr. Jeffreys is very fun to listen to in class and smart - that I cannot deny. However, I really had a hard time in his class. I didn't cleary know my scores clearly & you'll only know your grade if you go ask him because he was still working on learning Canvas. The tests were heavy too. But he was nice to let me do a pres. for extra credit.
Professor Jeffrys has great energy, and is very passionate about Psychology. He lectures straight from the book, with the addition of extremely outdated videos. He does not take attendance, so being present isn't mandatory as long as you keep up with the reading and show up for the tests. Tests every 2 weeks, no homework, and no grades on canvas.
He is a very intelligent and great person. Be ready if you are a person who likes to organize and plans everything. He might wonder you, very unpredictable person, but nice and kind. So, his online class is very organic, he might change everything at the last minute.
Quizzes were formatted and worded horribly in that the wording was vague and confusing, questions would be repeated, and it seemed as if he typed everything up last-minute. Content was outdated, with videos/lectures having no transcripts/captioning, PowerPoints were also subpar. Never replied to any email I sent out either.
Theres a test every other week and the questions can be quite confusing due to his wording. As long as you read the textbook and do the weekly writing assignment then youre fine. I never watched the lectures and still passed just by reading the book! Its a straightforward class.
Take notes, lots of them. I passed but if you ask me to even mention one of the concepts I couldn't. Nevertheless, he is a nice guy and genuinely cares for his students. He wants his students to excel. Professor Jeffreys is a nice teacher, but I wouldn't take his class again.
Very fun and easy going
Consists of 50~ question quizzes and small essays. Lectures are posted to canvas however some of the answers are not on the posted lectures but have been mentioned in class. Given 4 days to complete quizzes and small essay.
He is really understanding for those of you who are struggling to talk to your professors.
Charles is an amazing teacher, and I would very much recommend him for an easy and laid-back class. 1 assignment per week and its usually a quiz or essay, which can be completed in less than 1 hour. Only thing negative I would say is that he is not Canvas savvy, and that his assignments are posted on fridays, so you have to do them over the weekend
This class is very informative and interesting. Psychology is a great tool to take with you on your life's journey. Thank you Professor Jeffreys, I will take this with me every where I go.
