enjoyed the class didn't sleep :P

Kept the lectures easy to understand and made jokes to keep the class fun.

He doesn't answer your questions very well or at all, but he's fairly funny and easy. He lectures as if he memorized the book- using uncommon words, lol... but I got a kick out of it, I think you will too.

best teacher i have ever had.

This instructor gives great lectures! Very entertaining and fun classes. I would recommend him!

The lectures were entertaining and easy to understand. He also makes a lot of jokes in class. The tests though don't relate very muchto the book or what is taught in class. Overall I would recommend him. :)

He's really funny. All the test questions are out of the book, but you should go to the lectures because sometimes he adds little things that he mentioned on the test. But if you need help just go up to him, he is more than welcome to help.

His classes are really entertaining. However, his exams are hard if you don't read the textbook. A lot of his questions on the exams are straight from the textbook website. His material doesn't exactly teach psychology, but it illuminates it.

He is so hot and funny. If you do all of your reading and attend lecture you'll probably end up with an A. His curve rules. He rules. I love this professor

he is really funny-if you read the text you'll do well on the exams-he grades on a curve-that helped me alot.

he is funny~ if u want, he can teach u a lot of stuff. but he like to use those big words in class~ As u enjoy his joke during the class, don't forget to study~ his test is not funny as his class attitude!

this professor was awesome! his test are very easy and straight out from the book.

he's pretty funny, but his tests are pretty hard (going to all his lectures, and reading each chapter got me c's and b's on his tests)

Awsome teacher, very funny. His constant motivation towards the subject has made me seriously consider become a psych. major. Take him only if you want to be challenged and are serious about devoting lots of study time to this class.

great teacher! i didn't think i could be so interested in psych for one straight hour but he made it very appealing. very very funny too!

this teacher is awesome.. funny as hell and you'll learn alot. my friends and I have taken him every time we've taken a psych class and havent regreted it. granted his tests are hard, but its "college"... get over it

He's a funny and great teacher. You need to do the reading and if you use the online lan that goes with the book you should do okay. Listen and take notes on the lecture. Tests are super hard.

I have studied psychology with Dr. Ramskov for over a year now, and I couldn't think of a more outstanding instructor (but you do need to be serious about your work!) Not for the timid, but all others pale in his coverage of the material.

This is without a doubt the "Best Psych Instructor in the Solar System!". You will not find a more multi-dimensional classroom personality. A fast-paced, entertaining, and back-busting experience.Easy 'A'? Nope. Lotta learnin'? Yep. No w

Hey, I am tellin ya. He is the easiest teacher out there. Ok. The tests look hard. But they are not. The fact that thay are pretty long (80-90questions) overwhelms some people. but if you read the bokk you will be fine. Take him for an easy A and learn.

he'ss really funny, keeps the class alive. goes through leacture somewhat fast, and doesn't have much time to help but is willing when you catch him. read book and test will be easy, they're long though, but no homework, and x-tra credit opportunities

Dr. Ramskov is the best, I would take any class with him. He inspired me so much to continue at SJSU...I learned so much from Psychology 2 and 3, it was as if I slept/ate/dreamed of and only talked about Psychology...no other better way to learn

Stop wining! He is not hard at all, and he is very understanding.I took him for dist learning and got an A easily even though i took all my Exams late. Very human, which is rare for teachers

The BEST psych teacher at De Anza

Ramskov is the coolest teacher around.He is the reason why I am a psych major.His personality and intelligence make him the ideal professor.If I could take him for every class, I would.He was a student here so he knows whats up.

Mr. Ramskov is the coolest teacher around .He is very undertanding guy who would help his student to be sucessful .I recommend that you should take him for psyc 1

Buy the book + follow study guide = A. He likes to use big words and hear himself talk. Other than that he's fun. Just don't expect much help after class.

exams are very easy, funny lectures and jokes, learn a lot, I recommend you to take him

RECOMMENDED one of my favorite teachers are De Anza. Funny and interesting lectures tests aren't super easy but if you do the reading you are set. Psych 2 and 3 are just hard classes with a lot of work but he is a good teacher all around.

Very informative class. I like the book. He is really fun. His test are hard. If you attend the class, take note and read the book you'll do just fine. I highly recomend him.

VERY funny teacher. His class is only hard because of its content...psych isn't an easy subject to begin with. His tests get progessively harder but are fun, none the less. The class is extremely intersting and cool Extra Credit opportunities are available for everyone :)

Aside from being absolutely hilarious, he's also a great teacher. You'd rather listen to him than read the book.

Ramskov does go off on tangents quite a bit while lecturing. However, he is very knowledgeable and has a superb vocab to boot. Yes he uses big words -which are in the proper context- but this is college, people. Lectures alone won't get you an A, but read the text, which is very good by the way.

hella funny guy. i liked the class. not too hard. i got a B and only used the book a few times. i did come to class all the time though. and one extra credit at nasa, which was fun. i'd recommend him.

He is one of those teachers that changes your life...at least that's what he did for me. He is very funny and very kind and I want to take every class he teaches. Psychology is my major anyhow. And the reason for that is that Dr. Ramskov got me interested in it. I really reccomend him to everybody.

Ramskov is awsome. He is one of the funniest guys ever. I got an A and I only opened the book 3 times. Just study exactly whats on the study guide and it's an easy A. Lots of extra credit(which i didn't do). He's really hot and so is his T.A.(nicknamed Dr. Phil). Take Ramskov. He's great.

Ramskov is a cool teacher. I had him for Psych 1 and it's nice to have him in a class with less than 300 people in it. He's funny, teaches well, speaks intelligently, and a cute smile to boot. Highly recommended for Abnormal Psych (especially if you liked dabbling into it in General Psych).

Yeah, the classes are actually hard--while he may make it seem light and easy, the tests are not. Great teacher though, no regrets here!

Ramskov is awesome. His tests were hard but he definitely makes up for it by making class interesting. Just make sure to study and you'll do fine on the tests.

Ramskov seems like a great guy, he's really funny and his lectures are interesting. I want to take AbPsych with him!

Great teacher; makes material interesting and can be fun - though sometimes he looks as if he is ANALYZING a student when they are conversing. Lot of material to cover and you definately need to do your study outside of class. Grades fairly if not generously. I still respect the guy immensely.

No Comments

ramskov is cool! his class is really interesting and he likes to make a lot of jokes. Make sure to take lots of notes and to study very hard cuz his tests can be hard.Ramskov also give you opportunities to do extra credits if you're not doing so well. he also grades on a curve.so have fun!

I love this prof! so cool and so funny!

Ramskov was my favorite psych teacher at De Anza. No, he is not easy but he teaches you a lot and makes it very interesting. If you pay attention well, take notes like crazy and read the important stuff in the book then you should do fine. :)

What an awsome teacher! I wish all my teachers were like him :D. As long as you attend class do the reading and take notes in class the exams are a piece of cake and if you need help, hes there to help you out.

HUGE class, but he made it fun and interesting. accessible, helpful, and i like his scarf. people who graded him poorly, are the same ones uninterested in psych in the first place

His Psych 2 class was a great class. His tests were quite hard but he allowed re dos. There was a lot of group work in the class and we also worked with live animals (which you have to take home at the end of the quarter). If you enjoy a challenge this class is for you. He is not an easy A.

Be careful of the exams though as it can be tricky.

Ramskov is a kick keeps the class interesting but you have to do the reading.

This guy is hillarious! He makes the subject matter even more interesting with his funny stories that he sometimes relates it to. He's pretty straight to the point. No busy work, which is awesome. Exams are easy if you study. I got a B and I barely ever read. Great class, awesome professor.

i cant see how anyone would ever badmouth this guy.HE IS AWESOME!do the rdg and understand it, ask questions and for help, and you'll be fine.he is funny, smart, sophisticated, not too biased, and his class is entertaining and interesting. he never wastes class time unless he's talking about something off topic that yet still relates to psychology

This guy is funny. Class was interesting, cand chill . THe only thing is with this class, its a little more do it yourself read the book. But for tests, he gives reviews, and gives extra credit. I REALLY LOVED THIS CLASS :D

If you are not an idiot, and actually want to learn, keep your mind functioning, take this professor. College is about working on your own, not being pansied by high school teachers! He understands that. He makes it very clear what is on the exam...if you listen!

I took his distance class therefore I can't exactly comment on his helpfulness and clarity. I have to say his distance class is a tad harder than other distance classes. Don't expect to come out with an A by just reading the book, you need to drill yourself and review. A lecture class probably would've been more enlightening.

I don't understand how he is getting bad reviews. I loved this teacher! He is one of my favorites! Show up to class and do a little extra reading and you should be fine. The class is based on three exams including the final. He also gives you practice tests and there is 30 points of extra credit available. Take him!

he was funny and kept the class entertained. he was clear and concise with his lectures.

Ramskov is a really good guy. His class is very entertaining, but you really do need to do a lot of review on your own because the class often goes off on tangents. If you write down everything he puts on the board and study it, this provides the core information necessary for the midterms.

If you read the chapters and do the study guide, you'll get an A. With over 40 pts of extra credit this quarter, there's no reason why you would get lower than an A unless you slack off. He even gives you some of the answers to his exams and quizzes. Highly recommend taking his class.

Ramskov is my favorite professor at De Anza so far! There is almost no homework,and the study guides are fabulous! I never bought the textbook, just used online companion site & his study guides, got an A & B+ on both exams and an A on the final... Hes a great teacher but hes not going to pass the class for you.. Dunno why people complain...

Funny guy Likes to tell anecdotes. If you're interested in Clinical/abnormal/cognitive Psychology - good. NOT a class for the slacker. The work is honest, but as long as you understand and make an honest attempt, you can get by on grades. Tests are all multiple choice, based on Reading and Lecture Notes. PHD. helpful outside of classroom. Enjoyed.

Entertaining lectures - but he expects students to behave like students - take notes, stay awake, pay attention - duh! Off-topic comments usually entertain or make material stick in your head. Tests were pretty easy if you studied. Extra credit was bonus!

He offered about 40`~50 points of extra credit ... *Only max of 300 points in the class* A funny guy though ... hard to fall asleep in that class, you do have to read the book, but he does hand out a very detailed study guide before each test *it saved me* ... Graded on 3 test, a small paper, and extra credit ... I liked it =D

This is a fun and interesting class, and not at all hard as long as you read and study from the book before each test. His study sheets tell you exactly what you will be tested on. I agree that his lectures are a little bit disorganized, but still very entertaining to listen to. Lots of extra credit opportunities if you need it.

He's the best!!!

He is a very funny teacher. It is true that his lectures will not help you a lot on his tests but as long as you read the book, take notes, attend class, do extra credit, you will be garanteed an A in his class. He gives you A LOT!!! of extra credit so it's kind of hard not to get an A in his class. I highly recommend this teacher.

Ok so Ramskov does go off topic, but if you take good notes on the lectures and follow along with the textbook you will do just fine. vocabulary and terms are important to memorize. there is a lot of memorization of facts and terms. he's funny and can be quirky. the general information from the class was totally helpful and interesting.

Ramskov grades on a curve. He also puts random reading questions from the textbook into the exams. Unless you don't mind settling for a B or less, or you are a really good test taker, you might not want to take this class if you want to go for the A. On the other hand, he does teach and he knows alot about the subject, so it helps.

Really enjoyed how Ramskov would add random funny anecdotes to keep the class fun! Gradewise,definitely take advantage of the extra credit-even if you average a B on tests, w/extra credit you can easily get an A. In general, I thought he was a great teacher, who in a way "illuminated" psych during his lectures as opposed to straightforward teaching

LOVED his class. GREAT teacher. Flippin' genius. Still think of him years after taking the course. 'Might wanna take another more-advanced course sometime (I took intro). Taught me a lot. Came in to class in a good mood, spoke tremendously well, kept interest. My favorite teacher ever.

He loves his subject-- hence he talks very fast and gets very pumped up. He uses a lot of examples when trying to explain a topic or theory.. etc. His test are ridiculous: 80-85 multiple choice questions (which are a-e) in 50 minutes. But he gives you a list of words and concepts that will be on the test and how many of each you should expect.

I knew I wanted to be a psychologist. He made me realize why.

Do the extra credit early. He usually only gives 10-15 A's on each test. It is unbelievably helpful to go to the study sessions, he literally gives some answers and which questions are on the test. Test questions, random hw assignments, random quizzes are incentives to go to class, don't let him see you texting. Knowledgeable, good jokes sometimes.

Took this class on-line. Easy class if you study and read the book. You also have to go to his reviews before each test. That was really helpful. Nice guy, funny.

One of the very best teachers I've ever had, and my mentor. He encouraged me to continue in my scholastic career when I didn't think I could do it. I owe him a LOT for helping me on my way. You HAVE to do the work in his class, come to class, and read the book.He's extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He has a wicked sense of humor too.

Really great teacher. Took it as Distance Learning, you have to read a lot, but the material is not hard and very interesting. Review sessions are fun, very witty guy!

Great teacher. He is hilarious. If you show up to class and read the text you will do well on the exams. Use his practice exams to your benefit they are extremely helpful. I think he is one of the best teachers at De Anza.

I have a friend who's missed 2 week of his class, and he ended up getting a B+ in his class. Ramskov, PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROLL SHEET!! all his exams are based on his lecture. He'll tend to lash out on you when he has a bad day, and i dont like how he looks at you, like he's examining you with no respect. (typical psychologist)

interesting course and interesting person. teaches psyc 1, 2, and 3 so take him when you can if you want but read the books to be prepared

READ THE BOOK. Take notes from the book. Do the extra credit. Study. Do these things and you will get an A. He has a dry sense of humor, which I liked. He gives you study guides and answers to test questions in the reviews. Grades on curve but I'm old and I got an A, so it can't be THAT hard. I plan on taking him again.

tests are really easy. Says exactly what is goingn to be on them.

I have no idea why so many people here don't like this guy. The only reason I can understand is they were the people he picked on or they are stupid. This guy was hella funny, very interesting, and is probably one of my favorite teachers I ever had. Just read the book and you are good. I'd like to blaze bud with him, ha.

Personally, I loved this class. Ramskov really knows what he is talking about, but doesn't boast about his degrees as other professors at deanza do. Always refers to the text, but I still did well without opening it at all. Majority of class got Cs, but if you pay attention and show up, you'll do fine. Barely any homework, tests are easy.

Took this class over the summer for fun and absolutely loved it. Ramskov tells the funniest stories and is very passionate. I cant believe all of these complainers on here, they are probably in the 8 year AA degree program. At a real college classes are way harder than this and they give no extra credit. Bottom line, do the reading and go to lectur

This teacher has the best sense of humor ever. He knows what he's talking about and hardly ever uses the textbook.. i took psych1 my first quarter in college and never even had to buy the book! and i still got an A-. He gives you everything you need to know AND a practice test( half of the ?s are usually on the regular exam). i highly recommend him

Learn from the Master. Complainers are immature. Put in the time, do all extra credit, do it well, dont skimp. Ramskov has dedicated his life to teaching you- take advantage of this, life is give and take.

Very little homework and he tells you EVERYTHING that is going to be on the test, he will stop in the middle of a lecture and say this is a test question and give you the answer. He sends out practice tests and offers a lot of extra credit. He loves making fun of people which is why I think people don?t like him. Its NOT a hard class.

Ramskov loves De Anza and cares about his students. Offers multipule extra credit assignments, sends you practice exams and goes through test questions the day before every exam. He also holds a couple study sesions before tests. hard to fail his class

At first impression, he's full of himself. But as time went by, he shows you how knowledgeable and experienced he truly is. He has a sharp wit and bold sense of humor. He respects good students, and HATES bad/lazy/apathetic/druggy students. Those who rated him poorly, are the students who Ramskov humiliated in class. They're on the 8year AA plan.

Extremely punctual with returning test scores, updating about extra credit, and assigning hw. Overall pretty entertaining class, the tests require reading from the book, but with the practice test it's easy.

Good lecturer. The notes you take are as valuable as the book. Tests were clear. Reaching during office hours was difficult, and some students seemed to get first attention. There is an arrogance about this guy, but the information he transmits makes the class worth taking.

Dr. Ramskov is a great teacher. Absolutely great! Really smart, witty, but a bit of an ego. He loves to share his stories and kind of ignores what you have to say sometimes. Overally though, I thought he was great! Ample extra credit, semi-hard tests, but lectures were fun!

Going to lectures isn't a chore because Ramskov tells hella interesting stories during class. Aren't exactly relevent or useful, but still, interesting. Basically you need to read every single chapter assigned in the book otherwise you will not do well on the exams. I read all the chapters he assigned and got an A in the class. Read or fail.

Love Ramskov! His tests can be a little lengthy and seem overwhelming, but as long as you study, you'll be fine. You need the book only sometimes, usually it's just to collect whatever he forgot in class.He always tells cool stories during lecture, but he is a little self obsessed which can be annoying sometimes. But overall, a very good class!

Punctual & Organized; Relevant & Funny examples; minimal HW; Few quizzes; Easy Grader (uses curve); Enough extra credit to raise by 1-2 letter grades; Excellent use of visual aids. He expects you to WANT to learn, "Act like a student; take notes. I've got my eye on you". You should get a C bare minimum if you show up everyday put in some effort.

He came off very intimidating to me in the beginning, and even though it was the most challenging of my other two classes at the time, I learned a lot and am very glad I took him. Lectures were always entraining and he likes to tell interesting and hilarious stories. READ AND STUDY the book! FLASHCARDS! Honestly, that's how i got A's on the exams (

Great professor! He has very engaging lectures,very versed in psychology and is guaranteed to make you laugh. His exams are medium in terms of difficulty, but will be easy if you study. He is not very personable, but that's just his style. Put you phone away and don't be late! all things considered a highly recommended professor.

Funny, engaging, and provides all the materials you need to succeed. Practice tests, study guides (emailed directly to you) and online assistance are all at your service while taking this class. His tests essentially repeat information from these sources, so by using them you can't possibly go wrong.

i don't understand why he has a horrible rating. he gives you 80% of the test (many are from the practice test he gives out for each chapter) AND he curves the scores so much. you can miss almost 20 questions of the 85 and get an A on the test. the class is TOO easy. he has lots of stories and he's an overall great guy... DON'T BE LATE!

IF YOU CAN'T PASS THIS CLASS WITH AAN A, I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU AND YOU SHOULDN'T BE IN SCHOOL. HE CURVES EVERYTHING TO THE MAX SO...

Engaging, interesting material. The class is not easy, but you WILL learn psychology. Take him if you're seriously interested. If you're looking for a slacker class, look elsewhere. If you read the material and study, you will will earn the grade you deserve. It's simple. He won't show interest in your grade if you don't. Tons of extra credit.

It's really hard to describe how I feel about his class. I really enjoyed it yet he leaves something to be desired. Still I recommend his class. You will learn a lot though I do gotta say he needs to slow down significantly. A great teacher nevertheless

AMAZING PROFESSOR!!!! HE'S HILARIOUS AND HE REALLY KNOWS HIS STUFF. HE'S PASSIONATE ABOUT PSYCHOLOGY AND I LOVE HIM! BEST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD, HE'S THE REASON I'M CHANGING MY MAJOR :) THANK YOU DR. RAMSKOV! OH AND EAST A FOR THOSE WONDERING LOL

Great prof but you'd need some real effort. He talks fast and sometimes not very concentrate on the lessons so READ TEXTBOOK before and after class. He's very helpful. Tests and quizzes are informed but NOT EASY, and he CURVES so you'd need to be the best 10-12% to get A... I'd recommend him to students wanna learn some Psyc.

Look if you cant get at least a B in this guys class, you must have a chaotic life on the outside that prevents your success. He does everything short of handing you the test!!!! Great teacher, good sense of humor but still discplined. Highly recommended.

Hardest class i have ever taken! You do a few presentations, get ready to be interrupted by his questions if your material is not clearly presented. Ramskov is a great professor but you need to stay on top of your readings or you'll be completely lost all quarter. He doesn't use a powerpoint, and lectures aren't very organized. He's VERY sarcastic!

He is a good teacher and gives you a lot of interesting information, but FORGET about his practice tests, Only 20% of the questions in practice tests will match the real test and will include chapters you will never study in class. Focus on the STUDY GUIDE and his LECTURES. I enjoyed this class quite a bit, but get ready to study if you want an A

Overall, I would have to say that to guarantee an A in Ramskob's class, you NEED to read all/most of the assigned reading chapters. His lectures are pretty useless, but you still need to attend, because he gives quizzes, and actual test questions. I just finished his summer class, so it is a bit fast paced, but otherwise the class isn't too bad.

Ramskov is very funny! Lots of extra credit options! Shows a lot of interesting videos too. Tends to put people on blast though (people who are late, caught texting, without notes out. etc) But overall, very supportive and easy class, Reading the textbook really helps!

His class is veary easy to get a A. What you should do just attend in the class, read his note. NO quizzes!!! and he will tell you some ans on the tests. If you want to get A, you must take his course.

Lots of extra credit! Great professor to learn from, meaning if you read the text and attend class you will get an A!!

His class is good. He will yell at you (I am an A student and an honors student and still I've been yelled at soooooo much) but he isn't trying to be mean. He will help you learn if you put forth the effort to come to class and read the book.

I took his psych 1 class and honestly if you show up to class everyday and spend a little bit of time studying for his exams you will get a B in the class. Its not that hard. Most people that take his class just dont want to show up to class or study for the exams. he gives you a practice exam and study guide for every one.

Incredibly great teacher. So much of what he talks about in that class is very interesting, and he's very passionate about it. I would even go so far to say that some of his lectures have been existential to me. But he will put you on the spot if you're late, not paying attention, talking too much. Do the work and you'll get a good grade.

Gives crazy amounts of EC, but if you study hard and read the book outside of his lectures, you'll get a passing grade with no problems. I enjoy all of his lectures even though sometimes he'll go off on a tangent. Showing up after 10 mins of class will result in him refusing you to attend class. Other than that, great professor.

Real college level lecturer and a Prof that will help you succeed. Passionate about Psych. He expects you to come to class and take notes. Read the book and his note packet and you will get a B at least.

i love this guy! great class. he's so engaging and he really loves his job.

Dr. Ramskov is a very fair teacher. I have him for PSCYH 1 over the summer and people only complain about him because they don't pull their own weight. He gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit, he's funny and his stories are interesting and relevant to what we're learning. His tests are not hard, you just need to use the study guide!

Ramskov is very passionate about Psychology. He tells you what you need to know for his exams but often goes off on tangents in his lectures. Don't be late to class or he will poke fun at you. He gives a lot of EC. Just go to class, do the EC, read the textbook, do the practice exams, and you will pass.

Funny lectures, definitely kept us entertained :). He brought in hilarious personal stories and has a wonderful sense of humor -- take Psych 1 with him if you want to have a good time! :)

Hard tests if you do not read the book assigned chapters. Lectures show knowledge with use of high vocabulary is a plus, gives a lot of extra credit and grades on fair curve. Though he does go off on tangents once in a while. A dry sense of humor but funny none the less. Don't be late or he will dismiss you no questions asked.

Very clear teacher, he gave a practice exam before each test and gave out a lot of answers. He was very interesting and told a lot of stories which made him very engaging and easy to listen to. I think he was a very good teacher. Definitely take him for PSYCH 1!

Pretty good professor. One of the classes that the textbook actually helps a lot. Gives practice exams before every test and you only need to do your part of studying and doing some extra credit. Challenging but easy.Pretty good professor overall.

3 tests including final which is not cumulative. Just do the reading and pay attention to highlighted vocab words and you will be golden. Don't show up late or he will send you ut the door and maybe embarass you. He is pretty funny and offers lots of opportunities for extra credit

pretty funny teacher. jus study a lot for the tests and its an A

Easy class if you take the time to actually read the book. The tests are curved and he gives you a lot of extra credit opportunities!

I loved Mr. Ramskov! I did okay in the class, yet I came out of it feeling like I learned a lot. He's very good at keeping our attention, especially if you sit up front (That's when he gives you A's). He's super chill and very clear and a great teacher, I loved his class.

Ramskov is great! He's so knowledgeable and entertaining in class. He says everything that's going to be on the test during his lectures so if you go to class every day you're not going to have a problem. I've never even opened the book and I got an A+ on the first exam. I recommend him.

If you're going to take this class I would suggest to always read and know every single vocabulary word by heart, there is no slacking off in his class or you'll be behind. Just show up and do a little reading each night and you will be able to pass!

He talks a lot and makes it difficult to ask questions, but he's glad to help one-on-one and is clearly a master in the field of study. He goes along with the book, which makes it really easy to study.

I'd say his lectures are pretty straightforward, but he can talk pretty fast. If you take good notes from just being in class, then you can get away with passing his exams w/o reading the textbook. Rarely gives hw. In my opinion, he's funny and engaging so I'm surprised he's only average in these reviews! With a lazy student like me, he's perfect!

Very nice teacher!He's funny and interesting.You just need to attend every lecture and take really good notes and you will be fine!He also offers a lot of extra credit and there is rarely hw!

Awesome professor, had him for Psych 1 but I like this class better. There is a fair amount of work but it's interesting and I actually don't mind the fairly heavy work load. Ramskov is really intelligent, funny and makes class interesting. I definitely recommend taking his class if you can handle it.

Oh, Ramskov. He has a very strong personality that you will either like or dislike, there's no in-between. I thought his psych 1 class was rather hands-off, as opposed to his psych 2 class that is much more informative and has an enthusiastic energy. Psych 2 is fun because you get to experiment with a rat, but Dr. R is not very clear on due dates.

He's a pretty straight-forward professor. If you come to class and listen to lectures, he gives you test questions while he's talking. He also published his notes into a book, so that would be helpful since he literally lectures straight from there. An A is from an 80%-100% so his curve is wonderful.

He's a really nice and funny guy, sometimes he gets side tracked but never for too long. He tends to go a bit fast but if you pay attention and take notes you're good to go. He always sends out a study guide and practice test, USE THEM!! Always read the text book before the test and know your vocab. Not too hard of a class, it was fun.

curves tests. actually had to study for tests but thats cuz i suck at memorizing. oh yeah, lots of memorizing terms. ramskov is hilarious though. lectures forever but its entertaining. dont try to outsmart him cause he will put you down like a dog. put in effort and its an easy A - try to breeze through and youll get rekt.

Ramskov is a great teacher. He really keeps you interested in Psychology. Very funny. Very inspirational to the point that he almost makes you want to become a Psychology major and a psychologist. Very informative. Tests are not too bad as long as you study hard and memorize the terms. I took this for GE requirement. You won't be disappointed.

he's very helpful and he's always there for you when ever you ask questions. Tests are really easy and the class is easy A.

He has interesting lectures and a strong personality. He is very lenient about due dates and offers a lot of extra credit. VERY little HW so the tests make an impact but they are also curved. He gives some test questions in class + the outside psych reviews are VERY helpful. I didn't purchase the textbook or notebook as he uses his notes in class.

Clear, funny, relatable, efficient, sets up a clear path to an A, gives study guides a good amount of time in advance.

He was a really good teacher. Not too hard, but not too easy either. He tells you test questions in class, so its good not to miss class. But you can still pass. if you want an A, its important to take notes, and also read the textbook. His notes book is very helpful in studying for the test. He only has 3 tests in total, 2 quizes, and 1 essay.

At first I was hesitant to take this class with Prof. Ramskov due to the reviews on ratemyprofessor; but once that I got to know his style, I loved it! The class is tough, but he offers a lot of extra credit. The tests are hard, but take-home, so you have plenty of time to think. He is highly knowledgeable and funny. I highly recommend him.

He makes psychology relevant and interesting, all while keeping your attention along the way. His tests are not particularly hard, as he gives you practice tests to feel your way through where you should be knowledge-wise prior to his tests (If you can score an 80% on his practice test you can hope to get 90% or above on the actual test).EXTRACRED

His test wasn't easy but class is really fun, he likes to talks about his life a lot. Also he did read reviews on ratemyprofessors. He gives out lots of extra credit, and those extra credit are pretty fun to do. No homework, some pop quiz, 2 midterm, and a final. If you are major in psychology or considering, definitely recommend take him.

Great Professor. Gives tons of extra credit. Lectures are interesting, yet jump around sometimes. Really funny and down to earth. GIVES OUT TEST QUESTIONS. He literally gives you everything you need to pass. You just need to put in the work. Personally, I did not use the textbook at all and passed with a B+.

I took Ramskov for Psych 1 and now 2, he gives a grand amount of extra credit and is absolutely hilarious. Lots of assignments but the class is very fun and immersive. He's very willing to help those who need it.

Ramskov is super funny and keeps the class awake. You don't really need to come to class everyday to pass. Just read the book!! He also makes it very clear in what he's looking for in exams by providing a study guide with test topics. Take advantage of his study sessions.

I took Ramscov for psych 1 and I thought it was a pretty easy class as long as you write down the test questions he gives you.

I agree that he gives out a lot of assignments mostly Q's & A's, and we have essays, vocab quizzes, take-home exam/essay, and midterms. However, I believe he does this to weed out quitters, or those that-have-time-to-study-but-don't, the kind of professor that needs to know that you understand what you're saying/doing on you research experiment.

Honestly Psych 3 was the hardest class. Experiment project, presentations, papers, in class essays, exams, and homework plus the reading. It was overwhelming af, but this class prepared me for transfer. You CANNOT slack off in this class. If you do not understand something, go to Ramskov he tries his best to help you understand. He's great!

Really enjoyed his class, extremely funny, makes class interesting and gives you the resources to succeed! He offers so much extra credit and has TAs that hold study sessions (super duper helpful). I personally read the book and made notecards using the study guide and breezed through. Not really a stressful class and not a dread to go to everyday

Ramskov is an awesome guy he goes over literally every question that will be on his tests in class then after that still lets you make up your tests if you did poorly. Oh and you get to do lab work with rats and someone in your group gets to keep it as a pet at the end of the quarter! taking him for psych 3, he's awesome!

I took this class in fall 2015. I really enjoyed his class. Reading the book and taking your own notes from the book are by far THE most important part of the class. His in-class notes don't give much. Tests are LONG (80 Qs) and difficult, I had highest score on the final from my class and that was only an 89 despite the rigorous studying.

He told the first day he would do every thing he could to help us succeed and he did he gives practice tests study guides actual exam questions and as he lectures he will tell you what is on the test. Good lecturer wants you in class because he said it will increase your chance of success. Very funny guy.

best psych professor in the solar system

Ramskov is the best psych professor. In every topic, he gives a real life example on the topic. 2 easy midterms and one final (he emails a copy of all of them). You get homework but it's once in a while and they're short. He is a funny and a gem to De Anza. Don't fall for those "hardest teacher. midterms are super long" rates.

he's great but a tough professor ! willing to help you out & always open to extra credit. reason I didn't do so great was because I did not follow through with the material nor attend his class so often. But if I could take again I would, he is very nice outside of class. recommend his personal book for notes & material rather than the regular book

Professor Ramskov is one of my favorite professors at De Anza. He is extremely passionate about Psychology. Take his class for the lectures, which are pretty funny, and the experiments that you get to do with rats.

I just had him for spring and he made lectures very fun and interesting. He used humor and relatable situations to compliment the topics in psych. Even made his own notes for us to buy!! I highly recommend the class if you are new to psych. He truly is a great professor and wants every student to succeed.

Pretty goofy guy, made coming to class real enjoyable. Very little homework but tests are pretty difficult. Covers a good portion of what is on the test in his lectures but you'll definitely need the book or quizlet to properly prepare. Had fun, no legit complaints.

One of the best English teachers out there. He does a well job of explaining the essays and even helping you out if you need help. Answers emails very quickly. The textbooks he uses are really easy to find. His essays are always interesting and lets you make up 2-3 essays for a better grade.
