Professor Massie is a great teacher! He is very helpful and makes coming to class enjoyable. When in class he doesn't stand there and simply read out of the book, he teaches you in a way that is easy to understand. He uses real world examples and actually works in the field so his experience shows in his teaching. I would DEFINITELY recommend him.

If you want an easy grade take this class. If you want to learn something, stay as far away from him as possible. All tests are online but you don't learn or retain much. He also likes to push his political agenda on the class. Even though I'm also a democrat, I thing it's wrong to use your position to propagandize your point of view.

He is very funny and makes psychology even more interesting. Focuses on just a few topics from chapter in lecture. The only way to pass tests with an "A" is to actually read chapters and take notes that you can study from. He does provide a study guide for each test, but there will be stuff on the test that was not on the study guide.

He's incredibly funny, and his class is really easy. Make sure you read the chapters before a test. The only problem is that his lectures are a waste of time. All we discuss are people's personal life stories. It will take him sometimes two or three classes to cover ONE thing in a chapter. If you just READ, STUDY, and CHEAT, you'll pass!

He does not make you memorize pointless facts. Thank you Dr. Massie for three great psy classes

weekly: quiz, 2 discussion/1 reply, terms matching, READING!, lecture material not rlly on quizzes (mostly from book), does not read social/people's cues super well imo and can embarrass u in class, gets irritated by little things (emails, "dumb" questions, etc), lectures can be politically charged, EC 4 reading textbook b4 class, very loud!!

Doesn't respond to emails so you frequently feel stuck, confused, and *very frustrated*. You must purchase and use the textbook he wrote which is fine but questions on the weekly quiz aren't from the reading! The only good part is that there is no final exam (there is final project that has minimal instructions, frustrating again). Don't take him.

Clarence was a decent professor online. The only problem i really had was the lack of urgency when it came to emails. Never accepted late work even if it wasn't your fault but had some extra credit to make up for some things.

Professor Massie's class was very interesting and engaging. He did not make this class stressful at all. There was one discussion and one reflection each week and a couple of review assignments, and he has his own textbook. There was one group research paper and presentation as the final. Do the work and follow instructions, you will get a pass.

Dr. Massie is a great man and professor. He made the class engaging and interesting and really knew the material as he wrote the textbook. He told stories and gave extra credit for high-value questions. If you can definitely take his class even for non-psych majors.

he is super easy, but there is a lot of assignments and papers that you need to read. however, his tests are all open note, doing research presentation with power point slide, and no pop quizzes, his class is super chill

Professor Cassie was a solid teacher. Weekly assignments were due every Sunday around 5 and were easy to complete. You do need to buy his textbook, but the lectures were decent. There were only one or two in-class assignments, and the grading was fair and clearly explained.

At first I was a little bit anxious for that class because it's my major. After the 1st day of class I literally fell in love with that class. I love Dr Massie ! He's so kind and funny. He make students very comfortable in his class and know exactly what he's teaching!!!! I would love a definitely retake this class if I was able to!!

Dr. Massie is a great professor. He gives informational lectures and interesting coursework that's kept me engaged in the course all term. All he asks in return is that you participate during class and have the intent to learn. cool guy, even cooler instructor. As an engineering student, I'd take more of his classes for the fun of it
