Easiest class you will ever have
Easy class with a nice but wierd professor. An A is easy to get if you show up to class.
I enjoyed his class... not too difficult and he was a nice guy.
A very strange prof. Knows a lot about psycology but doesn't know how to teach it. There are no tests, just quizes.
Class was very boring, but easy.
Not a hard class but a weird guy. He has a very dry sense of humor. An A is very possible if you just study the material a little
Very fun. Excellent presenter of info. in a very clear and interesting way. Makes learning fun and easy. You'll love this class. Very easy in the way that:you'll get and understand all the info, if you listen in class and read the assignments. I (liked/learned)more in this class than I expected. He has a very neat personality!!!
EASIEST TEACHER EVER!
Great Professor. Will learn alot in this class, if your not just there, because you have to be. Would take him again.
a little bit wierd but very good teacher, gives you a question pool that lists everything asked about on tests so it is easy to study for exams. Great teacher!
I loved him! He always kept class interesting and he knows so much about psychology! He made me want to study and learn more. His class is pretty easy too as long as you do your question pools.
GREAT TEACHER! I learned a lot from his class, and even thought of changing my major to PYSCH. It's an easy class, too!
class was so interesting! and the vidoes were awesome!
AWSOME TEACHER!!! VERY EASY!!! I took Doyle and bomb horribly never take her. I was a little hesitant to take pysc again buy my fiance told me how cool Teem was so I took his class and got a B! I could have gotten an A but was lazy. If you do the question pool you will Ac the class!He gives you easy video questions to help your grade!Do all of them
Very Easy. Gives out handout at beginning of semester that covers all material. Show up for class everyday for maximum credit/points. Offers extra credit too.
only take him for psyc! all mult. choice tests, but you have to study b/c they are long. does require a paper, but not hard if you support with facts. really nice guy and really enjoys teaching. i took him for both psyc 1101 and psyc 2103 and got a b in both. would definately recommend!!!!!!
VERY smart guy! Keeps Psychology interesting. The tests come right off of the question pools, so study them hard! Come to class every day, because movies are likely and a big part of your grade! An A is VERY likely! Great teacher!
instead of listening to his random chatting, you should be reading your book.
the movies are basically only there so he can grade you on your attendance, if you miss more than 5 movies(days) you can bet on getting a grade lower than your test scores, instead of listening to him "lecture" work on your question poole, the test has the EXACT same questions and is very easy.
He is an awesome teacher. Make sure you go to class because the video's count toward your test grade. He gives you a question pool so you know what to study for the test. I loved this class.
Easiest class I've ever taken. Highly Recommended. He gives you a question pool study guide with the same exact questions that are on the test.
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.
I was not crazy about him. I wish I would have had another teacher. If you hadnt signed up yet try and get someone else. You have to write a critical thinking research paper, and the other classes didnt! He make anoying impressions all the time that drive you crazy! I do not recomend him!
Easy class... Gives you a question pool, which contains the questions that will be on test. He basically just stands in front of the class and lectures, while students do the question pool. An easy A.
As long as you can get past his annoying imitations, voices, & don't pay attention to him, you'll be fine. Make sure you do the question pool. He won't help you on any questions though. Attendance not required, but he does random videos in which he takes a grade for (no make-up).
He is really nice. He gives question pools but they are HARD!! They aren't as easy as ppl make them seem. If you want to mostly focus on this class then it would be good to tak it.
Easy A. The class is interesting, but his lectures can get boring. Just do your question pools and you will make an A. There were only 3 test and they were not hard. Go to class, the videos are graded.
This class is very interesting and so easy! All you have to do is find the answers to the question pools which are in order almost word for word in the book! And as long as you tell him what you think an answer is and why, he'll tell you right or wrong and help you. There is a group project and no apper now. He grades movies though so come to class
This was an okay class. As long as you complete the question pools, you will do fine on the exams. Just make sure you check with him if you have any doubt or questions. He is very helpful and will take all the time to help you.
I really liked this guy. He was hard, and he makes you work- but an A is not hard to get. You have to have time to do ALL his study guides (he makes the test from them) and you HAVE to give him a really good research paper (I made a B on the paper and I worked hard)
just do the work he gives u and u will be fine.
If you can stand his Washington accent you'll be okay. For me it got on my nerves everyday of class! EASY A!!!!!
not a good teacher at all.. also, very obnoxious
I have taken Dr. Teem before and all his classes are the same. He is great! I learn a lot from his class. If you just DO the study guide that he gives you and make flash cards for it, you will do fine! He lectures with powerpoints, but make sure you do the study guide. I think he is GREAT!
Take him!!! You will get an "A" guaranteed! Easy A. Do your question pools. Tests are exactly the same as question pools. Really nice guy. I enjoyed having him as my teacher and you really do learn a lot in his class.

I thought this would be an interesting class. Was I wrong! So miserably boring.
Loved him! He is an excellent professor! Do the question pools and you'll ace the tests....
DO NOT be fooled into taking this class!!!!!. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. EVERY SINGLE DAY HE GIVES QUIZES OVER A VIDEO AND/OR WHAT HE TALKED ABOUT. IF YOU DO NOT ATTEND YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY GET UP TO -10 ON YOUR TEST BECAUSE ATTENDENCE IS 40% OF EACH TEST!! AKA: he treats you like you in high school. never met a man who liked to talk to much!!!!!!!
This is honestly the most boring professor ever. If you want to be miserable then take this professor.
Give Teem credit for teaching introductory courses to a bunch of bored, uninterested students every semester, yet still keep a sense of humor while he does it. Everything you need to know comes from the book, but video assignments go without announcement. Great professor, I plan to actually minor in Psychology at a different school next fall.
Question pools which are the same questions on the test. Must come to class for videos and such, but easy points added to your grade for it. You have a group paper that he is VERY unclear on. Would have gotten an A if it wasn't for the paper i so I ended with a B. He is really nice but very boring, esp the powerpoint days ZZZzzzzz.
Ok, I thought the class was boring, but it was very easy. If you come to class, watch the boring video's and dio the worksheet (40% of test grade), and the he gives you the test questions, word for word like 2 or 3 weeks prior to the test. EASY! The group paper was unclear, but if you stayed and talked to him, he explained it, my group got and A+.
hes really nice which makes it hard for me to hate him, he doesnt help at all, doesnt really teach, we just do quetion pools all the time, and watch videos and powerpoints, very booring...but really nice
I took this class fall 09. It was an easy A! Show up, do your question pool and watch videos (answer ques.to video)! Exams are straight from question pool :) I looked forward to this class because it was so relaxing and easy!
Great teacher! You just have to come to class because the movie points are part of the test. Very Easy class just show up!
I absolutely loved his class. As for everyone complaining that you had to be in class, I thought that was the whole point of going to college as opposed to online classes! Hello! But my 1st semester in college, this was the my favorite class. I liked to listen to his lectures. He was very easy to understand.
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.
Awesome teacher!! Easy class. He gives you question pools and the tests come from that. Actually read and answer the questions and you'll be okay. Attendance isn't mandatory but he will have video's in class with worksheets and takes them as a class grade. The slideshows he does in class and kind of pointless but it gives clarity if you're confused
I really enjoyed his class. He definitely has a lot experience in his field and I wish he would have shared more stories. I also liked the format (had to do 100 questions pertaining to the current chapters; he picked 60 for the test).
Being in his class was quite painful. It was hard to pay attention and what he did say had nothing to do with your grade in the class. He gave us a question pool and he picked randomly from them to be on the test. I spent my class time answering the questions and I received an A on all tests.
I absolutely hated this class with a passion. It was so boring and I loved psychology in high school. DO THE STUDY GUIDES AND BUY THE BOOK, because the test is study guide. No cumulative final and all test are 60 questions long.
easy class. Book buying optional, but maybe you and friend could split the price since sometimes you'll need the book to answer questions in the question pool packet he gives you. No need to take notes, just memorize the question pool and show up occasionally to get an easy A.
Literally the most boring class I have ever had to sit through. I had to force myself to attend each day. Nothing he says in class is on the tests. He gives you a question pool and as long as you do that, you will do well on the tests. He keeps you from doing the questions in class by showing movies with worksheets for a grade. Seriously. SO BORING
Dr. Teem is very nice. It's easy to make A's on his tests. Just complete the question pool. I have taken him twice and his method of teaching has been different each time. One semester, he gave informative lectures with few videos and the other semester, he showed a lot of videos with few lectures. I try to get into a class with him every semester!
This was a painfully boring class. Teaching was done lazily by only showing Youtube videos & documentaries on topics that were interesting but were not on the test at all. The tests are impossible unless you memorize the chapters word for word. The question pool takes several hours to complete. I'm an A student & made a C in this class-ridiculous.
His lectures are not the most interesting, but psychology itself is fascinating. He is very knowledgeable. Definitely read the textbook and do the study guides because the test is based more on the book than his lectures.
Super easy... study guides are exactly the tests.. lectures are kind of not necessary due to the tests being all from the book... must use book to find the answers to the guide not lecture notes/PP's. Super nice and really knowledgable, though.
Course expectations were a little unclear, was never really sure what to expect when I got to class. It was very random, didn't really do much outside work for the class other than a group paper and an individual project. He's very nice and has a kind of corny sense of humor which helped class go by a little faster. Read one chapter.
One test, terribly put together I knew the material just the test was bad. Super easy but didnt learn anything really you read and go over academic articles and talk about how youd go about something scientifically, super easy. you wont know your grade at all through out tho. I thought I had an A but I had a B as my final grade and dont know why.
Very funny, sarcastic, dry humor. He relates well to the students. As long as you study the study guide, you will pass the tests.
Very easy class! Follow all his study guides he gives you and read a little before class and you'll do fine on any pop quizzes. His lectures can get long but he is easy going and friendly and is happy to answer any questions.
You will need the book for this class as you will be given several study guides throughout the semester and this will literally be your test. I think he gives 50 questions on the study guide and 40 of them are your exact test. He's pretty straight-forward and lectures vary on how interesting they are! He takes attendance!
I am not a huge fan of Teem. He is nice, but his lectures are hard to follow at times, and it can be difficult to tell if he is talking about material or something else. You do not need to buy the book. Study guides in this class are exactly the test, just with answer choices removed.
Great teacher!
I have taken him for two different classes and I have loved him both times. Super easy class and very easy to work with. His lectures are very boring and so I always did other homework during them but overall I did enjoy his class.
Professor Teem is a great professor. He gave study guides for all tests which come from the readings and the test is a mix of the same study guide questions. There were only 3 tests and the 3rd test was the final which is not cumulative.
Hes lectures are more in depth than you actually need for the class. All the information you really need is in the textbook, so make you you have it and read it. His tests are exactly like his study guides so make sure to do them! since his tests are this way, it is hard to really learn anything because its mostly memorization.
I will avoid ever having to take him again. The class itself was easy and simple: study guides are exact copies of the test. You really don't even need to go to class, just use the textbook to fill out the study guide. He knows so much about psychology in general, but he ends up just rambling about random psych things instead of actually teaching.
Teem is a good choice when choosing professors. I have taken two of his classes and made an A in both. Read the book and show up to lecture and you will pass. The tests are manageable and he gives study guides for each one. He doesn't pile on homework, he really wants you to focus on your study guide for the test. Highly recommend!
If you complete the study guides-you will get a B. Lectures from PowerPoint (material is not linked to study guides or majority of test questions). Attendance IS necessary to obtain all the participation points that add to your overall test score for the unit. Only 3 tests-averaging 4 -5 chapters on each test. Lots of work before test but easy B
Dr. Teem is easily the most underrated professor in the Psychology Dept. at UNG. While his classes aren't neessarily difficult, nor do they require a substantial amount of effort, his lectures are the most idea-driven, information-heavy, critically-presented lectures of any professor I've taken. LISTEN TO HIM WHEN HE TALKS. You will learn.
My first course with this professor and he was boring. The class is so easy. You get a study guide with all the questions on the exam and he picks 50 of those. We watched videos and filled out a worksheet 7-8 times. 3 exams and the final isn't cumulative which was nice. Lectures barely kept me awake. You need the textbook for online homework.
I've taken Dr. Teem for several classes because he is fantastic. This man is so intelligent that I constantly pick his brain. He is a fair grader and his tests are easy if you read. He gives you a study guide will every possible question that could be on the test. As long as you find the right answers, you will pass. I will miss him when I graduate
Classes are boring. All he does is read from a powerpoint and nothing clicks with the students. Be prepared to fall asleep a lot in his class. Only positive is that he would randomly give out extra credit.
Every class you go through a PowerPoint and take notes. The class is built based on lectures and him just talking. If you don't study and read you will fail the test. He's a funny and nice guy, but the class is boring. He tries to engage people but it's hard to pay attention. He will give you extra credit on assignments. Overall wouldn't take again
Dr. Teem is one of my fav profs, although he just reads off the PowerPoint, most of what you will learn will be from when he talks SO LISTEN. Tests are easy and provide an amazing study guide, which will greatly help.
He reads directly from the PowerPoint however adds some interesting stories throughout. His tests are very easy and consist of 50 questions however he gives an amazing study guide. The professor was accessible outside of class and caring.
Dr. Teem was a good professor. All his class time was lectures. The study guides are EXACTLY like the tests. The hw assignments were worth a lot of points so you could do the all the hw, not do well on the tests, but still pass the class. He was funny and would sometimes get sidetracked if we were talking about a topic, but still a good professor.
Lectures mainly listened to what he said. I don't really use the textbook, only for the two final case study papers. You should carefully study his study guide. I was in his first class of Condition and Learning, and it's pretty cool to learn about some good study methods that I can apply for other classes. I highly recommend taking this class.
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.
