Dr. Bank is a young guy that doesn't know a ton yet about psychology but if you ask him a question, he'll answer it. If it's a tricky one though, he probably won't give you the right answer. The upside is that it was an easy class. If you read the chapters, you'll get an A for sure. I got an A+.

Beware that he does not accept late work or offer extra credit. If you fail his course it's likely due to the student not completing assignments.

Took psych 101 online and passed. If you do the discussion boards and read the book, you will get a lot out of the class. Dr. Bank doesn't accept late work.

Easiest online class you'll ever take. Your grade consists of 3 discussion question responses, the midterm, and the final. You may not learn much, but it's a good class to take for credit if you're already occupied with more rigorous courses. Just follow the requirements for each assignment in the syllabus and you'll pass with no trouble!

Dr. Bank understands that people have busy lives and does not over stress you with work. If you try it will show through the work you do. He does not accept late work, but gives you plenty of time to hand in what he wants due. If I have the chance I will for sure take him again.

Probably the best Psych teaches I had in this school. HE UNDERSTOOD THE PSYCHOLOGY of learning which helps makes his class sooooo easy because he just knows about the struggles that students are going through with all these different teaching styles. Participation matters deeply and also reading your textbook. but I do love how he grades his test.

Very easy A because of a light workload and easy grading. I took Abnormal Psych online in a 7-week session. The only assignments were 5 discussion boards and an optional final. I used the textbook, but you don't really need it to answer the discussion board questions.

Easy A! Just read your book and show up. The only reason I chose "Skip Class, Won't Pass" is due to the fact that class attendance is counted for a majority of the final grade. His lectures were always interesting. He is really nice and I don't recall a time seeing him without a smile! Take his class!

If you read the required chapters and post ontime there is no reason not to get an A. There are 3 or 4 discussion boards, a mid term and a final which is not required if you have a good enough grade with the other work. Plenty of time to complete each task, a relaxed and dependable way to get an A.

This man does not teach anything, the entire class is 5 assignments using the textbook. There was a problem ordering the textbook through the school bookstore, the professor told me to drop out and when I eventually got the textbook he refused to grade assignments and had me fail the entire course. I am now in contact with the dean who is no help.

Professor Bank is very clear with his grading. For this course, he drops the lowest assignment. No pop quizzes or exams. Emailed him twice in the semester and he got back to me fast. If you cant get at least a B in this class, you shouldnt be in college. Am signed up for his spring PSY 136 course.

Dr. Bank is amazing! He only required about 4 discussion board posts throughout the entire 15-week course and a final at the end. The questions are very straight forward and come right from the textbook. The final is based off the discussion board questions and it is open book. If you see his name under any course, take it!

I usually don't write reviews on here, but this professor is a must take. I never took a psychology class before college and all of his are must takes. Read chapters, do a couple discussion posts, midterm, and final is optional if you have an A up to that point. Nothing is challenging, just do the work that is required. Few assignments and learned.

Wasn't sure if I would like this course, however, professor Bank's assignments made it interesting. He responds quickly to emails and gives good, helpful feedback. He uses the point system meaning if your grades add up to 93 or higher you have passed the course. He lets you decide whether or not you take your Final. Definitely take his class!

This is probably the easiest A you could get. I took a 6 week online course and there were 5 discussion board posts. The last assignment is optional if you did all the other ones too. Dr. Bank is easy to reach and has clear instructions on the syllabus on when everything is due and how many points its worth. He is super nice and very smart also!
