He is really funny and keeps you awake with his jokes. If you listen in class you will do fine on the tests.

This class was pretty simple. I didn't attend too much, studied the notes, and got an A. The tests are directly from the notes, and don't even require understanding, just memorizing.

great professor! He's Italiain and is really funny. His class is interesting and not that hard if you pay attention in class..

Class is boring. Must go to class for notes. Extra credit for attendance. Tests are not as straight forward as others have commented them to be.

This class is very hard to sit through. A ton of lecture, but the tests are easy if multiple choice is your thing. Funny professor, nice guy, but at 75 minutes this subject is mind-numbing. You won't get an A for nothing.

He's Italian and funny, even if his classes tend to be boring. The occasional off the wall comment helps the time to pass. All lecture and only four tests, but easy opportunity for extra credit if you come to class, boosted my B to an A.

lectures are pretty boring but he's pretty funny. tests are pretty much straight from the notes but they're not super easy either. not too bad of a class

Loved his class. He's really funny, which helped me pay attention. If you go to class and read the notes then the tests are easy. Definitely take him for Physiological Psych!

Tests are straight from notes and diagrams. Just memorize them, you dont even have to understand them. Class is boring but his funny Italian jokes keep you awake.

The coolest psych teacher I've had. The material can be intimidating but he explains it so that it makes sense. He's really enthusiastic about the material and throws in a few weird but hilarious jokes. His Italian-ness is amusing. If you go to class and study what he tells you to study for the tests, there's no reason why you shouldn't get an A.

This class is hard, more about the biology behind the scenes than it is behaviors associated with it. I wish I would have known that BEFORE I took the class. He is nice and knows his stuff, but if you are not into science, don't take this class. By far the hardest psych class I have ever taken.

I honestly don't know what everyone was talking about this class being their hardest psych class. As long as you went to class and wrote/typed down what he put up on the powerpoints, you were good to go for the test. He uses a lot of visuals which are a huge help for the exams. Definitely recommend. also, the text isnt needed if you go to class

Definitely not as hard as everyone made it out to be. As long as you went to class and copied the notes from the powerpoints, you were good. Text isnt really needed, since his lectures come straight from the textbook. Recommend downloading visuals he puts up on blackboard and putting them in your notes, they help a ton for the exams.

The important thing about this class is to make sure you don't just know the definition of things. You really need to know the pictures he posts and the process of how it all works.. not just what it is.

Very funny in class, though it may be on accident. This class is based on a lot of hard science and less behavior. You really need to have everything straight in your mind to do well on the tests. The notes follow the book exactly. Tests are multiple choice with 2 or 3 short answers. You can exempt the final.

I'm halfway through and it's super hard. I did badly on the first test and met with him to talk about it. We discussed every single question that I missed and he diagnosed why I got them wrong. We concluded that you'll do well if you read and study diagrams without cramming. You also get extra credit for attendance.

Halfway through and it's really hard. I did badly on the first test and met with him after. We discussed each question I missed and he diagnosed why I got each question wrong. His advice: come to class so you get extra credit, read the book, and study the diagrams well.

This was by far my FAV psych class I have taken so far. Anyone who posted below saying it was too hard either didn't take good notes, didn't come to class or didn't study. I copied all of his notes & studied the diagrams he puts on BB & got an A in the class & exempted the final. Exams come straight from the notes.. Literally. DEF recommend him :-)

He tries to make a pretty boring course more interesting but it didn't really work. He also tends to go on tangents that sometimes don't relate to the information at hand which is frustrating. Tests are multiple choice but he makes them tricky ( like but false first in truefalse questions). Ability to omit final if you have an A average on tests.

I love this class, but I will warn you that it is biology based. I'm a Psychology major going to med school, so this class is very helpful. The teacher is interesting, and you learn about how and why things work. It's great. Also you get extra credit if you come to every class, and there are only three tests. If you study the notes, you'll do well.

Cantalupo is a very up front about what will be on the tests. If he assigns pages to read in the book, then READ THEM ALL. Also, the notes are exactly what is on the test. You get extra credit if you dont miss class (10 pts) He cracks jokes that aren't really funny, but he is nice & I learned a lot. I would definitely take a class with him again.

It is true that this class is biology based, but let me tell you I pretty much suck at biology, and I totally fell in love with this class. Funny guy, will help you to know what you did wrong on the test and make you think about it. You'll have to work for this class but if you get an A you can skip the final. Extra credit for attendance.

If you're a psych minor (like me) look elsewhere for an easy psych credit. Having bio background is a huge plus. GO TO CLASS (attendance is extra credit) & READ the textbook. I ended up doing well, but I worked for it. Cantalupo is a great professor though & for someone that had never previously taken bio in college I learned SO much.

Attendance isn't mandatory, but I recommend that you go. Even though the lectures are pretty much word from word from the book some of the examples he gives are on the test. I took both psych3240 and psych4220 with him at the same time and it made the classes a lot easier since some of the material overlapped.

This professor will explain things to you if you choose to go to his office hours. Go there with a wanting to learn attitude. He will help you understand concepts if you show you are working at it. Take the time to talk to the professor outside of class, he is actually nice if you show the time to care. Go to class, it is extra credit. Study Text!!

The class is hard and there is a lot of material. But his lectures are very thorough, so if you attend class and pay attention you should be fine. He also gives you the exact pages he wants you to look at from the book and puts all the charts and diagrams on canvas for reference. Solid prof, but your only grades in the class are the exams; STUDY!

Definitely a hard course, but Dr. Cantalupo was a great professor while teaching online. I had a great time learning the information in his course and he was wonderful to learn from. He may be harder to learn from in person, but his lectures online were GREAT.

He was really great for online lectures. His lectures were straightforward and had everything you needed for exams. There was a required book but I never used it. He's pretty nice and always made sure to let us know that his office hours were available, which was nice considering the pandemic. Would definitely another course with him take again.

I have him online due to COVID and have zero complaints. Syllabus is straight-forward and he goes straight off of that. Asynchronous lectures that are really helpful, and the exam questions all come straight from the lectures. There is a required textbook, but I didn't use it. The material isn't the easiest, but definitely doable with his lectures

Entirely lecture-style. Go to class, take good notes, spend time reviewing notes, text, and diagrams on Canvas, and you will do well. He is passionate about his subject and honestly enhances the experience. Take his class, work hard, and ignore the other reviews.

Show up to class and study a lot to succeed. There’s only 4 tests and the last one is an essay. You don’t have to do the last test if you got an A average on the first 3. He doesn’t give out study guides and the tests are very specific- study the pictures on the slides too. (I studied for about 15 hours for each test.)

Great professor. Lectures mirror the textbook. Test questions are pretty specific but as long as you go to class and take good notes, you're good.

Go to class! I liked him as a professor, class was interesting. Only grades are test grades. Tests are extremely detailed. Start studying early. For tests be sure to memorize definitions, understand charts/graphs, and numbers associated with things. Overall wasn't a bad class and would take again.

The class was only graded on four tests which made this class super challenging for me. Most of his tests are based directly off the slides so don't fall into the trap I did which was studying quizlets others made in the class they were not helpful. He is passionate about the subject and tries to crack the occasional joke. Uses the whole class time

This class grade is completely based off four tests which are not as easy to get an A on. Intensive studying keeps you from failing, not excelling. Dr. Cantalupo on the other hand is such a pleasant professor. He makes a giant lecture hall interactive and fun. He is a kind man and is always willing to help. I just wish I could get the A!

Dr. Cantalupo is a great professor who is clearly very educated on the material he teaches. His class contains no assignments, papers, etc. it is only weighted on exams. The exams are difficult and require studying but they are very manageable. I enjoyed this class and having him as a professor. I would recommend, be prepared to study!

I loved his class, it's hard and a lot of info so you really need to attend lectures and take good notes. If you go, he tells you what diagrams will be on the test and what concepts are important to know. He really cares and wants to be sure everyone understands the material. Exams are usually based on his PowerPoints, so study those over the book.

A very hard class, but he is a great professor. If you take good notes during lectures & study them the exams are manageable. One of the only professors I have had whose lectures actually help me understand the material way better. If you've already taken bio or a class like that then you will be prepared for a lot of what you learn.

Dr. Cantalupo is a decent professor, the content he teaches is just difficult. His lectures are a bit boring, but he often adds in jokes or examples to try to keep everyone engaged. Your overall grade is based solely on exams and a few extra points from attendance. I would recommend taking this course, just be prepared to study and take good notes.

This class does require work, but it is doable. I was not able to pay attention in class because he does ramble a lot. However, if you look over the slides and then have questions about it, look over the textbook and it will explain it pretty well. genuinely cares about his students and if you join office hours, he will help you to understand.

Professor Cantalupo is a great professor. His class is heavily lecture based, so try to not miss class. He does upload all of his slides and the exams are directly based, sometimes word for word, off them. He does have a textbook but you only have to get it for supplemental reading if you want. Study the slides and go to class and you will do good.
