very funny, but very unclear in homework and material.
No Comments
Not alot of things to do, but just take notes for the exams. 40% of grade examns, 40% of grade question from book (very easy), 20% judgement, attenence, etc.
Had to be the easiest teacher I've had at Macomb. He lost my test 2 times, so he gave me a 100 % on both tests. He likes to talk alot and be kinda funny. But, he understands there is more to life than just school.
This guy was very entertaining and hilarious. I actually enjoyed class and looked forward to going to it. I learned a ton too.
Okay, he's a really cool teacher and makes the class a lot of fun with his jokes and everything, but girls, beware: do not give him your screen name at the beginning of class! He will IM you every time you go online and it gets a little creepy.
The class was easy because he made it interesting enough to remember. He taught our class on Sat mornings and it was never hard to get up and come.
He is an awesome teacher and a great NON CREEPY guy outside of class. (He talks to the male students just as much as the females) ;). I would take his class again in a heartbeat.
He is a cool teacher, makes everything funny. The stories he tells make everything interesting. I never liked going to class before this one. He dresses kind of funky though. Doesn't he own anything that isn't black? I hope I can have him for another class.
I only say the class is easy because of Mr. Park's talent for making the sometimes morbid subject of psychology not only endurable, but fascinating. In today's society, if a teacher tries to contact a student, especially a belly-shirted mtv female one, he is labeled creepy. Nuts to that. He's legit.
He makes the subject of psy fun to learn.U will use the book,so get it. Take notes and go2 class.Watch the movies and write about them.Final paper instructions wasnt very clear.And I agree,he likes to chat outside the classroom and it can get annoying/creepy. Any ?'s just ask.
Dr. Parks is THE man of psychology. I loved his class more than any class I have ever taken before. He keeps it light hearted and funny, but still actually teaches at the same time. I actually enjoyed going to class. I learned more in this one class, then in all my years of schooling. Thanks Parks!
Awesome teacher, wasn't very interested in taking the class when it started I was relieved I actually began to look forward to be going to class. Just to look at him you would think he is a little strange but if you really listen to him he knows his stuff! Go Mr Parks!
I've really gotten to know Prof Parks since I took his class, and he really is a very kind, intelligent, and funny person. His class is a lot of fun and easy to pass. Very nice guy.
most fun instructor i ever had
Parks is amazing, 1st you don't even think he's the prof. He is down-to-earth and has lots of real life examples to help you learn. I enjoyed his class and found it easy to go to. Tests are pretty easy. Don't really need the book, just study your notes. He gave us a couple take-home exams, too. Long, but not hard. He's sexy too, somehow!!!!!!!
his stories made the class interesting and insightful.
If you want a hands on psychology class that isn't a boring monotone lecture, ask for this professor.

Easiest class i have ever taken and so much fun, class gets very funny sometimes that if you walk in sleepy you'll walk out fresh and smile on your face, always ends class early, likes to take a day off when he is tired. You don't really need a book, he gives notes to you.
He was seriously the most interesting and most hilarious teacher I have ever had! He made the time fly by!!!! I remember everything from his lectures still! If you want a teacher who is passionate about his career and someone who will help you appreciate psychology, this is the teacher to get.
teacher is funny and makes class entertaining
i love the way Mr.parks teaches, he makes class interesting and we learn at the same time.. i would deffiently love to have his class again
Professor Parks is THE MOST awesome teacher you could ever even DREAM of having ^_^
I thought I would get more out of this class than I did. Professor Parks is funny and we had take home exams but, unless you record the lectures, it's hard to take notes. He is not clear in his answers if you e-mail him questions. This class was okay.
Awesome professor. Very intelligent. Barely used the book. Take home exams made my grade sky rocket. Saturday morning classes always are a drag but he made if fun to be there and we always enjoyed it. If he teaches it during the week take that instead if you can. I don't recommend Saturday morning classes.
Dr. Chris is amazing. He tells stories with each lesson- which makes learning SO much easier. He is FUNNY and outgoing. He is absolutely my favorite teacher at MCC! He gives Extra Credit, and his tests are very easy. I got a B+ and didn't have to try that hard but to this day I remember everything he taught me because of his stories! He's the Best!
this professor is very today and now. Brings passion and intregue to his teaching
Such a e-mazing teacher, I wish the class never ended :D!
he was ok
Great teacher, kept class interesting. Tests and homework easy. Come to class and listen - and you'll get it. Book is hardly used.
He's an awesome instructor, try to get in with him.
Really funny keeps you interested. Great professor
AMAZING PROFESSOR. He was hilarious and used examples from his life. He was very easy going and I actually looked forward to going to class! I learned so much in that class, and I would highly recommend taking a class with Parks.
Talks about sex & his addictions alot but he makes learning psych easy with his stories. Take notes off his lectures and you'll ace the tests. I recommend him, he made class enjoyable & as easy as possible.
Dr. Parks was great. He made the boring subject Psyc 1010 fun. It was easy to learn and comprehend. A bit creepy in some ways...but sexy.
he is fun and he class is easy A. will u learn lots from his class.
He makes me want to come to class. I learned a lot from this guy
Pretty much an easy A. Don't have to come to class, but you'll want to. Great teacher, very enthusiastic, hilarious, open, and pretty sexy, if I do say so myself.
Somewhat enjoyable class, has trouble at times keeping students focused and quiet. Definitely an easy A, but i dont attend school for easy A's. Will jump around a bit and become difficult to follow, has great stories that are quite helpful in retaining things. Tests can range from unclear to simple. Not a great proff. not awful Just Meh.
Great class! Highly recommend this professor.
AMAZING. He made class so fun. He is very funny and has lots of interesting stories. Probably the easiest class Ive ever taken :)
Great Professor! Class lecture was very interesting. Exams were based on his lectures. He was very passionate about his teaching. His stories help you remember the material.
Great teacher!!!! do the work and show up everyday and you will have an easy A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
took him for psych on a saturday class. he missed a few classes. taught the material very well, to a point where you remember it. to this day i remember his id, ego, super ego demonstration.
Amazing teacher! Funny and very educated! EASY A! If you participate in class discussion you will understand material!
Legit!
Dr Park was a very great Teacher I LOVE ALL HIS story he tell help you remember
Awesome teacher!!
one of my favorite teachers. very educated and helpful, easy to understand and all around really just a nice guy :) i would take him again if i could!
Very nice professor and has many interesting stories! No matter how my mood was before I stepped into his class, I would always walk out very happy and knowledgeable. Great professor, highly recommend him :)
Overall a awesome teacher!!!! Need more like him!!
Great professor! Very knowledgeable, approachable, and honest with class.
Overall Awesome teacher. He makes the class fun and easy to understand. We have an open-note exam, take home exam, and then one exam from watching movies. He's awesome!
Excellent, very knowledgeable knows his subject well. Helpful, kept difficult class topics very professional.
The most amazing teacher I had when I attended this school. Still to this day (5 years later) I talk about his class and things I learned because of him.
Excellent professor, made it very easy and interesting to understand. Some days you'll walk out of class and catch yourself talking to other people about what you learned! Highly recommended!!
Outstanding professors! Christpher has a great sense of humor which made the lectures interesting and engaging. I thought that I would dread going to this class, but I really enjoyed it.
The BEST professor I have had yet. My senior year in highschool I took AP Psychology covering the exact same material and did not understand a thing. Prof Parks is hilarious, laid back, and will relate material to modern experiences. The work wasn't overwhleming, he was very fair and understanding. If you're taking Psych be sure to get Parks.
Best teacher ever!!!! That's all I have to say:)
Awesome teacher. He makes the class fun and easy to understand. We have an open-note exam, take home exam, and then one exam from watching movies.has many interesting stories! No matter how my mood was before I stepped into his class, I would always walk out very happy and knowledgeable. Great professor, highly recommend him :)
He made the class really fun and intresting. We just didnt sit there and take notes, he did stuff with us. im going to miss you Prof. Parks!
Professor Parks was very professional and funny. Keeps it real...says he has a shy bone, but I could not tell..awesome professor..keep up the good work.
Great guy. Loved his class
Loved this professor! He will even add you to Facebook ! :)
Prof. Parks was an awesome teacher! I am so lucky that I got to be in his class for Psych. He is a very good teacher and is 100% real with each and everyone of his students. His teaching technique is awesome and he uses some of his stories as examples and it helps clarify if you don't understand the topic that well. He is a great man!!!!
This professor is awesome. He explains concepts very easily and clearly. Teaches through stories in order to keep the class interested, while at the same time being educational. Very funny! I'd recommend this class to everyone!
Easiest A ever.
He's not clear about what he wants. His method of teaching is not clear. He cracks way too many inappropriate jokes. He does not let you use the Notes for exams even though the others are saying differen't. I wish I would've chosen another teacher.
Okay I love Dr. Parks!! He seriously is the best. This is my second psych class with him and he is the bomb .com. You watch movies, he lectures, and you have to answer a few questions from the book. The tests are super easy. Hes hilarious and if you don't have a sense of humor then don't take his class. You wont regret taking his class!
Very funny and interactive with students. Told stories that related to the content and helped you grasp it easier.
I really enjoyed this class. Having a professor like Dr. Parks was great, he's funny and the class isn't to hard as long as your read your book.
Dr. Parks is very knowledgeable and uses real world examples in class. However, all of his lectures are of the top of his head, he doesn't use any notes or powerpoints. We stay for almost the whole 4 hours of the class. Altogether he's great, but not the easiest!
Dr. Parks is a fantastic professor. He brings real-world experience & knowledge to his lectures. Grades: 3-4 tests (20%), 2 questions for each chapter throughout the sem 40%. Participation/attendance account for another 20%. I didn't like that he doesn't post grades online however easy to keep track of. Would take again 100 times!
Parks has great lectures, he's really funny, and is simple (enough). As long as you do the readings attached with the questions, study for the exams with his study guides, and pay attention or engage in lecture you will be set.
Best professor ever. The lecture is not boring at all, he makes jokes all the time. it is a fun class and a fun professor. No stress at all. He gives the all necessary knowledge so you can use in daily life. He is the best, the most talented. Some people are simply meant to be so.
Amazing teacher, very easy to get an A. Almost never stay the full 4 hours, usually around 3. Explains course material thoroughly, the class doesn't feel very long.
Currently taking PSYCH 1010 with Dr. Park and it's a very easy class. He explains everything in his lectures perfectly and it makes it so easy for you to understand. The grading isn't bad at all, with 20% for attendance, 40% for HW, and 40% for the 4 tests, which by the way are 10 points each with 50 questions. He gives out a study guide as well.
Parks is a great teacher that clearly cares about his subject. It's psychology, so be ready for some left leaning opinions and lessons, but it's whatever. The tests are cumulative, and pretty easy. Come to class, do the exam reviews, study them and you'll do fine.
Dr. Parks is an exceptional teacher, always looked forward to attending his classes. He has a great sense of humor and uses real life experience to make learning psychology a lot of fun. Grading is straight forward, show up to class, do the reading and pay attention and you will have no trouble getting an A. I would highly recommend Dr. Parks.
Very good teacher, tells a lot of personal stories that help you relate to the topic being discussed. Very understanding and clear about what you have to do to succeed in his class. Very cool guy also.
The only thing I had a problem with the Prof was he wouldnt drop off my tests at the learning center at a timely manner. He is very bad at communicating.
I have taken many classes at Macomb. Parks is by far the best professor! He makes learning fun. Going to class was like going to a 4 hour stand-up comedy.
