Dr. Teem is very straight foward. Study the question pools and don't miss class because you will miss your movie grades. He does not have a final. The last test IS the final. Class was so easy it wasn't even funny. Definately recommend him for PSYC1101.

The key to doing well in Professor Teem's class is to figure out the answers to the quesiton pools. If you can do that, you'll get an A. Some of the answers are hard to find though, so I'd suggest teaming up with some people in your class to compare answers.

Good Teacher. Gets off topic a lot. Changes the way he runs class every year (he claims) but this semester we had 3 case studies (one fictional), a "case study" type final, and the rest was class stuff. He shows a lot of videos and you have some questions to answer afterward. CHECK HIS MATH WITH YOUR GRADE!! He messes up a lot, but will change it.

Would take again

The textbook is nice to have for review over the lectures but it is not directly used. He is really nice and has so much passion for psychology. He gives in class assignments that give you extra credit so don't skip to many. Very few assignments which makes the class enjoyable, make sure to do the study guides!

I would take this professor if it were your only option. He cares about you learning the material, his exams were a lot to study for, and SUPER LECTURE HEAVY!!! goes over a lot of material and goes off track, making it confusing. His study guides are a kind of similar to the exams. gives extra credit, so don't drop unless you're in the 40-50 range.
