By far my favorite prof! Makes class interesting and he is hilarious! Newest version of textbook is MANDATORY! I cannot stress this enough as the final exam is 90% based on the textbook and only 10% of what was seen in class! Overall, class is fun and he takes time to ensure his students are understanding and most of all succeeding.

He was very funny at first, however, I was disappointed in a lot of his "jokes", especially him being a psych prof. Beginning of semester was great, but towards the end he started reading directly off slides. Textbook is mandatory as final exam is solely based on the textbook. Midterms are based on class PPT. All multiple choice; some are tricky.

He's hilarious. I enjoy going to his lectures because everyone is laughing the hole time. The only problem though is that he doesn't really 'teach' he only gives example of what the book is saying. He doesn't even do his own powerpoints. But overall, I strongly recommend him. Easy to study. If you just study the book you'll be totally fine.

He's a great prof. As a french immersion student who wasn't used to his accent, at times it was hard to understand what he was saying, but overall it wasn't a big issue.

Good prof but theres so much to learn and if you dont know everything by heart you will fail or not have the best grade. Be sure to read the textbook chapters because the quizzes are specifically on the chapters and so is the final exam. His PowerPoints dont go in dept on certain subjects like the book, so you have to learn a lot for the final.

Best psych teacher. Makes psych even more interesting. Two midterms were online and just read the tophat before the final and you will be fine. Try to take him for all your psych classes hes amazing.

J'ai adoré le cours avec Dr. Fortin! La matière est tellement bien expliquée et allégée par les anecdotes du professeur. Par contre, ce n'est pas nécessairement un cours facile comme plusieurs le disent, il faut mettre beaucoup d'efforts. Je vous invite à prendre ce cours très intéressant, j'en ai beaucoup appris :)

Je l'ai eu en cours d'intro aussi et il rend tjrs la matière intéressante et engageante bien que le cours soit en ligne. C'est vrmt un bon prof, dynamique, organisé, et donne bcp d'explications, bcp trop des fois... Je regarde ses vidéos à une vitesse de x2 car elles peuvent être trèeeees longues. Mis à part ça, je le reprendrais sans problème!

Very kind prof. His lectures were engaging but VERY long for the amount of information actually taught. Some of his MC questions in the midterms/final were extremely specific or contained mistakes. Very grateful for his bonus questions (midterms + final) and for the short answers (final) because these definitely boosted grades.

Really sweet & funny prof, his lectures (videos) are pretty entertaining to watch. I wish he specified which studies/pages in the manual were important for the exams, but other than that, great prof. 2 midterms were online (over Brightspace) and the final was in person. He allowed a cheat sheet for the final.

I really liked this class, but I wish it was taught in person instead of online. You have to work hard to understand the main ideas, but the professor always gave us study guides to help. His lectures were interesting and funny. I would definitely recommend him as a professor for psychology classes.

He's a good prof, always there to help. But his exams pull out the smallest details from the book that are irrelevant to the material, there is just so much to memorize for this class it's a bit excessive and unnecessary to pull out those details.

The prof is very funny and his anecdotes help you understand the material a lot! I just wish the class was in person instead of online because I found that it being asynchronous meant I fell behind easily. But if you have to/want to take this course, Professor Fortin is great!

Was a mandatory class for me , so I kind of regret taking it online cuz you really had to read top hat entirely to really understand. The prof is really nice and answers his students questions clearly. The class itself is hard for an introduction class, a lot of reading and memorizing. If you read top hat and do a lot of practice exercise, ur good.

This class is all about the TopHat textbook, which you have to read on your own. So if you like reading a lot on your own, this is for you, otherwise, I don't recommend this as an elective cause it will be more demanding than you think at first.

Love this prof. His videos are super entertaining but a little slow (I put them in 1.5x speed). You do have to pay for Top Hat (about 174$) but there are a lot of practice questions after each module to help. Exams are multiple choice but on a lockdown browser.
