Great lectures, and he is genuine
He wrote a fictional novel to illustrate the material. It is excellent.
great teacher and advisor
AWESOME MAN
awesome teacher
the BEST professor I've ever had!
best prof. at ecu
He has got to be the best professor at ECU. Incredible!
I took his class my freshman year..I'm a senior now, and I still remember him as the best professor I've ever had. Very intelligent, friendly, and interesting.
He's the Best!! The Greatest Teacher Ever!! Go Gettem Popa Smurf!!
I LOVE PAPA SMURF!!! He's the coolest teacher ever. and I dont care what everyone else says, he's hot for a little old man! And he's always happy too!!
Papa Smurf... AWWW he is the sweetest man, and the best professor at ECU. Everyone shold take him...Just go to class and you will be fine! Also he is a very hot for an old man!
sweet, fun guy! totally makes it interesting & easy to understand...wonderful guy!
he is the best ever! haven't met anyone who doesn't love him!!
great!!
Awesome teacher.
Papa Smurf! i love dr. handron. he is THE coolest. best intro psyc class ever, take it it's an easy A. almost no reading, just take good notes, and he has good games, too! totally awesome!!
Dr. Handron is the coolest teacher, and definitely one of the fairest. I would switch out of any professor just to have him. BEST PSYC TEACHER EVER!!
Increadibal professor! Truly inspiring, you will injoy going to class, therefor do well.
Very good teacher, allways explains topic, encourages discussions, relates well with students
Easy A if you show up for class. Plus you learn lots. Good teacher to have.
he makes the class fun, and you actually learn. pretty easy class as long as you keep up with his notes and read the chapters.
You can get exempted from his final exam if you can get an A average on quizes, tests, and HW. He does take roll and each day you miss is one point off your final grade. His classes are interesting and he has lots of stories to tell from his life.
had dr. handron for intro psych and thought he was just great. I highly recommend him, very interesting and entertaining. However, this man is pushing 75 years old, so neglect the "hotness" factor.
Very nice. Explains things in detail. If you go to class and listen you will do fine. If you have a 90 avg. @ the end, he will exempt you from the final, and you get a A for the class. Great Person!
Dr. Handron is an awesome teacher
Wonderful professor. Very interesting with lots of stories to share from semesters past. Made class fun. I never wanted to skip class!
Great teacher, has plenty experience in psychology which means he has an unforgettable example for everything he teaches. Highly recommend anyone to try as hard as possible to get him.
He is a great teacher! Sexual Behavior class is a wonderful class and he makes us feel comfortable about talking about certain subjects. Explains everything and is willing to work with you! Highly recommended.
Great teacher, I made an A... Good class, just go and participate and you'll do fine.
Great teacher, gives good information and tests aren't to hard. Definitly want to get him if you want to take psychology.
he's a good teacher
The best..makes class interesting with example from his past work experiences..Take this class
Psych of Sexual Behavior...what a great class. He's an awesome professor. I never wanted to miss class. He offers tons of extra credit and is always willing to work with you. I will def try to take his class again.
This guy is the best teacher at ECU, by far. He's fair and keeps the class so interesting. He really knows his stuff and is easy to get along will and very helpful. Come to class and you'll be fine! MUST TAKE HIM AT LEAST ONCE!!!!
Class is ok. Lectures seem to drift towards the end of the semester. The narrative book is a terrible piece of literature.
Great professor. I was fortunate enough to have him stand in for my absent professor and he was terrific. He tells great stories from his career as a psychologist. Class attendance was constantly 90% or more, which shows the quality of the class.
he is such a cute little man. he will help you with anything! attendance is important and sutdy for quizzes and you will do fine. he tells really intresting stories to help you remember things, and only cares about you doing well in his class.
He gives lots of examples and he will try his hardest to work with you outside of class if you need it. His dor is always open. He is very easy to talk to.
You will be fine in his class, gives extra points for attendence, very nice guy, tests are not hard at all, if you go to class your fine
He is a very good professor who tries to make things easy to understand plus makes the class very intresting
He is a great professor.Definately take his class. I always looked forward to going to his class because he made it so interesting. He is not one of those professors who just ramble on and on. You can tell he knows what he is doing. I loved him. He is the best professor I have ever had.
Tells lots of great stories that help you understand and remember easier
Awesome professor, and the 2nd best I have had here at ECU...made me wanna learn my material and really easy to talk to, which is always a plus!!...he made me enjoy psych even more than I did before..and was always soo enthustastic and always willing to help u when need be
Excellent Instructor
I never thought I would enjoy psychology so much. He is very informative and is fair. I would definitely recommend taking this guy.
No study guides, no announcements in class about homework (you are expected to read the syllabus), doesn't return the quizzes/tests, penalizes you if you are late on homework. My overall impression is that he expects from you much more than you can expect from him.
Very interesting class - quizzes and tests are very specific so you have to study alot but He's a very nice guy and will help if he can. Attendance extra credit!!!
Dr. Handron is absolutely awesome. You will not have a better professor at ECU. Yes, he expects a lot but you are in college now folks. There is no doubt in my mind that whatever class you take him for you will thoroughly enjoy yourself.
He's an unbelievably entertaining professor. He loves his job, and apparently his family too! Gives examples for every concept covered... which makes you visualize terms well. He's extremely approachable. I've even had him "psychoanalyze" me. If you aren't interested in psych, you'll leave happy.
There is a big project to do but you get to pick the topic for the most part. There is no final, simple assignments. Very interesting! He'll help you if he knows you care.
Very interesting, helpful and intelligent man. He makes you want to come to class everday. Gives easy homework to boost your grade and three quizes before each test. quizes are easy and help you prepare for the exam early. easy a if you try
He is very helpful. Even tho he takes attendance, his class is fun to go to everyday. I would take him again. As long as you do all the hw and do ok on the quizes and tests you will do good in the class.
I didn't like psychology until I took this class. Prof. Handron's enthusiasm and stories make the material memorable, and he only tests on what is covered in class.
Very good teacher. Tests were not easy, but if you study they are not too bad. Very fun teacher with interesting stories to help you remember the information. Loved the class.
Take this guy! He is the best! He does take attendance, but if you are a Psych major, I really suggest him. He is interesting, funny, and just really really great. He is one of those people that if you don't like him, its your fault. -Jenny
He's my favorite professor at ECU and I'm not a psych major. He did, however, influence me to make it my minor. He's a great man with a good heart who actually cares if his students pass or fail. His tests aren't easy, but the amount of extra credit he offers evens it out. Go to class and you'll be fine.
No Comments
Great teacher! Really helpful. Cares alot about his students. Makes the class interesting and fun. Attendence policy but rewards you with extra credit.
AWSOME class, and hes got no shame! would take this class again without thinking about it! and if you do your absolute best, and make atleast an 85 on everything, and show up to class, u get exempt from the final! definately take this class
He is one of the best teachers at ECU. He really cares about his students and he is always willing to help you outside the classroom. He is soooo funny and interesting and he tells the greatest stories. His attendance policy pays off in the end bc you learn a lot more. Just study your notes and you'll ace every test!
AWESOME teacher! cares about his students and is always there to help you whenever you need it. very very smart man,tests are a little hard but if you go to class youll be good. my favorite teacher ever!
Great Class. Take him if at all possible. He tries to make the class learn, and if they dont, he might even curve you a bit. Best if taken honors or in a small class.
Handron is awesome, great class, great teacher, a really all around great time into this class :)
Dr.Handron is amazing! I don't think there is any way you cannot get an A or B. He is very helpful and the class is actually interesting
dr. handron is the best teacher-i acutally looked forward to going to his class he made it interesting and really cared about his students definitly take his class if you have the chance
I think everyone should take Intro to Pysc with him because he teaches everything so well. The two group classes and one break out class idea is amazing for such a hard class.
I loved this teacher!! Hes a great teacher. This class is very interesting. He makes this class lots of fun with his videos and pictures and fun quizzes! If all possible get this teacher you will learn a lot!
I took him for psych of religion and psych of sexuality. HE IS GREAT. Very easy to get along with, open minded, well versed in what he is teaching, and has a world of knowledge. I highly recommend him.
He is the best teach I have had so far at ECU. He makes everything clear and the test are easy to past. I look forward to going to his class everyday. he presences the material in a way that makes you eager to learn! I love this man
I took him for into to psyc and he really is a great teacher. he makes the lectures interesting, and the quizzes and tests arent real hard. attendence is not mandatory but if you're there when he takes it you get +5 to your final average :)
great teacher....makes everything easier to understand by using real life examples...definitely take him if you have the chance..i actually looked forward to going to his class
Hey is awsome, i loved him! He is such a cute little man. he seems like he is hard, but he is really not. I am so happy that i took him because i absolutely loved the class! The only problem with him was that being a phillies fan, he was a mets fan, no biggy
He is a WONDERFUL teacher! I recomend EVERYONE to take this class. It's very helpful with his presentations and videos. Also, the breakout sessions are very helpful. Although you have a test every Friday and you have to take online quizzes every week, it helps out your grade a lot! TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
He is such a great teacher and person. He makes class really interesting. I have never heard any bad comment about him. He expects a lot but its worth it in the end. TAKE HIM!!!!!
2 Master classes & 1 breakout class. Material is taught so that everyone can grasp it. 10 tests (10 questions) lowest 1 gets turned into a 100. 12 Quizzes-each can be taken 10 times-then take highest of each w/ lowest 2 dropped. Perfect attendence adds 5pnts to final grade. EASY A
One of my favorite classes recommend you take it
Dr. Handron is really nice and really knows his stuff. He gives lots of examples and tells stories about when he was in private practice. The class was genuinely interesting. The weekly tests and quizzes were annoying at times but really helped me study. I loved his class. He is so nice and looks like a skinny Santa! Take Handron. You'll love him!
Dr. Handron is a great teacher. Hes super nice, easy to understand, he drops the 2 lowest quiz grades (one online quiz, with multiple attempts, a week) and drops your lowest test grade (one a week). He adds 5 points to your final if your in class whenever he takes attendence. Def take him for a teacher
Dr. Handron is, hands down, one of the best teachers at ECU! TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN! Takes random attendance, and if you come everyday you get 5 extra points. 10 question tests every friday in break-out class, online quiz almost every week, offers extra credit.. Overall, easy class!
DR. Handron is amazing!!!! He is by far my favorite teacher at ECU. He gives you so many chances to make an A in his class...Attendance is 5 pts on your final grade!
Hands down best teacher I've had at ECU thus far. He really explains things, and the test on fridays really help in the end to remember things for the final. He's a great professor just GREAT
VERY HELPFUL AND INFORMATIVE!!! I LOVED THIS CLASS!!! You do have to work hard but it is well worth it!! I still remembered what I learned and I took the class a year and a half ago.Recommend this teacher!!!
I LOVED Dr. H!!!! He was great. He made learning Psyc fun. His tests were super easy especially if you attended class. He gives you so many oppertunites to get an A...I would recomend him to anyone taking psyc!
Dr. H was an incredible asset when decided if I wanted to continue in the field of psychology. I would reccomend him in heartbeat. I found his lectures to be both informative and interesting. You can't replace life experience. You get what you put into his class. As much as you are willing to learn he is willing to teach. HE WAS AMAZING!
hes pretty good
one of the best teachers i have ever had!
I love him!! 10 question test every week, but all material comes from class lectures and he uses powerpoints. random attendance, but adds 5 points to final grade if you have perfect attendance. he's really nice and adds a little bit of humor sometimes, tells a lot of stories. DEF. take him if you can!!
I didn't really like this class. A lot of testing. I passed with a B. Dr. H is really clear with what he expects.
HE'S SIMPLY THE BEST!!! BETTER THAN ALL THE REST!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DR. HANDRON, HE IS SO PERSONABLE AND REALLY ENJOYS WHAT HE DOES. HE ACTUALLY MADE ME LEARN SOMETHING. HE'S THE BEST PSYC PROFESSOR OUT THERE.
Dr. Handron is an AWESOME professor. I would DEFINITELY take psych again with him. He uses different teaching techniques to keep it interesting. There are quizzes online every week and a test every friday but they are not hard as long as you take notes and look over the material a few times. I would recommend him to anyone!!!
Definatly one of the best professors I've had so far! His lectures are interesting because he teaches with stories from his life experiences. Very easy to get an A as long as you come to class, take notes, and look over them before the tests on Fridays. Take him in you can!!!!!!
dr. Handron is adorable. He's a great teacher and is really interesting if you get into the class. you have 10 tests and ten quizzes a semester so he gives a good oppurtunity to recover from one bad grade. tests questions are fill in the blank and t/f most of the time. he really cares about his students and always wants to help.
If you have to take psychology you better try to get him. You can get up to 10 pts. added to your final grade. He tells the best stories on whatever it is he's lecturing on. He is such a sweet man and I really enjoyed his class.
If you need psych 1000 please take Dr. Handron. He is the greatest teacher ever. He is funny and the class is interesting.
one of the best professors at ecu! he is an interesting guy and keeps you engaged throughout the whole class unlike most professors. definitely take him!
Dr. Handron is the cutest old man! His class is interesting, and he gives you five bonus points at the end of the semester for coming to class. The tests aren't that hard, and he gives study guides for them, which help a lot. I recommend taking him to anyone!
Cutest little old man ever! Extremely nice and helpful, won't ever treat you like an idiot. He makes class very interesting by getting the students involved, and his tests are fairly easy. Do the reading and you'll be fine.
Dr. Handron's life is Psych. hes good at explaining the material. He takes random attendance and u get 5pts on ur final if your there for all of them. On fridays u will have a TA. Attendance is mandatory on fridays and there will be 10 question mini quiz that will add up to be a test grade but TA's give good study guides though. easy B.
One of the best teachers at ECU! Test every Friday (which sucks at times) and random attendence. my TA was terrible but Dr. Handron is wonderful. Very good notes and very good lectures. Not boring at all. I love this old guy. He is so cool! i have a B in the class
WONDERFUL. Takes an interest in his students, great mentor. Best class I've taken at ECU. You learn so much and you actually WANT to go. He's so involved with his students and is more then helpful with ANY problems, not just academic! He's amazing and ECU will never be the same if he leaves!
BEST TEACHER i've had at ECU. He makes class extremely interesting, it was the one class that i actually looked forward to going to. Such a smart guy and really makes you love psychology too. I found his class so interesting that I am now a psych major. I would recommend him 100%
OMG! I love him. I'm so so mad he's gone. You missed out- b/c he's the ABSOLUTE BEST professor I have ever had.
Amazing man, intelligent, empathetic, helpful, interesting. He made a tough academic year a lot easier just by going to his class, and restored my faith in ECU. I am now pursuing a Psych minor because of him. I'm not sure if he is still teaching, if he is do Not miss a chance to take ANY class with him!
He is the sweetest man! He is so interesting and tells a lot of stories to relate the subject. His test are not super easy but it is not hard to make a good grade in his class. His attendance policy really helps some people..it can either make or break your grade. He is such a nice guy but he is retired so only teaching every now and then...hurry a
OMG! He is the best psyc teacher ever! He is so sweet and loves what he does. He doesnt check attendance everyday but does it at random, I think he has done it about 7 times this sememster, but you have to go to class for the notes. he has great stories as well! TAKE HIMMM!
He really is an amazing person and teacher. I promise getting to know him will change your life. Best teacher at ECU. He is what I wanna be like when im 60. Great man. TAKE THIS CLASS. TAKE THIS CLASS. TAKE THIS CLASS. you won't regret it i promise.
Truly one of the best professors I have ever taken!
He was awesome. I will never forget his class. Tests are not too hard and a lot of questions come straight from his notes. Attendance isn't mandatory but he adds bonus points if you are there on random check days. I would love to take his class again.
Great professor to teach an intro to psychology. He has had alot of case experience as a clinical psychologist that he uses in class. Test are based 1/2 on lecture and 1/2 on the text. He is very easy to talk to and made this class not horrible.
THE BEST TEACHER @ ECU! I took him for intro psych and was so excited that he was teaching sexual behavior. He only teaches in the spring now but def. take him if you can. He gives vivid examples that help you learn and he constantly makes you laugh. He offers pts to your FINAL GRADE for perfect attendance! You learn all kinds of stuff about sex :
Dr. Handron has to be the best teacher ever at ECU. If you are a psych major, please give yourself the opportunity to have him as a teacher. He is so warm & open. Nothing short of amazing. Attendance is somewhat extra credit, but you'll want to come to class to hear whatever he has to teach for the day. I LOVE DR. HANDRON!
He was an excellent teacher. His grading method wasn't normal (he let us choose which grade we wanted to strive for- A, B, or C) but he made it very easy. His lectures were interesting and I really enjoyed going to class. I would love to take him again! He graded very leniently and listened to students. It was obvious he actually cared about us.
I had him for religion and he is a fantastic professor. His lectures are interesting and he has plenty of examples and stories to relate and make it easier. Such a sweet man overall and very understanding
He teaches part-time at PittCC & I had the pleasure of taking him for PHIL 240 this semester. I have never met a more humble & kind human being than Mr. Handron. His lectures were truly fascinating that I never thought about skipping his class. Please take his class & you will be surprised as to how much you will learn!
