All I can say is.. "HE is the ENERGERIZER BUNNY on SPEED". He is very entertaining but does make it difficult for a student to ask questions. His examines are very tricky. Oh, and when I took his class, he made an error on every exam. So don't be afraid to ask a question if he has a term on the exam that you haven't heard.

He's a very nice and fun guy and his lectures are easy to follow. It's possible to get an A if you just try hard enough (review sheets!). The only negative thing that could be said is that he can be pretty disorganized, which makes some of the information given a bit confusing. This is the only negative point though. I definitely recommend him.

The class was easy, but he relied solely on the book to do the teaching.

He then proceeded to give me substantially lower grades on my papers for the same quality of work.

The only con to this professor is that doing the study guide's alone won't help you to be prepared for the mid-term and final alone. The study guide is often broad and doesn't cover everything you need to study. Overall, this class is extremely easy as I mostly only did my work for this class once a week.

C. Rod has been my favorite professor thus far, and I took his online class (thanks 'Rona). He is very interactive while being flexible with scheduling. He gives tons of opportunities for extra credit. I never thought that I would like psych this much. I actually learned. I didn't just memorize information! I would 100% take another class of his.

Overall Dr. Roddenberry was an excellent professor. I was dreading my PSY 150 class because thought it would be dull, dry, and boaring. However, Dr. Roddenberry gave life to this course by allowing students to have input and giving us options for extra credit and virtual presence. Throughout, this semester I knew that I was being heard.

He made psychology fun. You can tell he is a professor who really loves his job and cares about his students success. He has his own lecture videos that are very creative. The work required is just the right amount. You will not regret taking his class! I didnt use a textbook because his videos were informative enough that I didnt even need it.
