Course itself was easy, but I was extremely let down by the competence of the teacher.The class I was most looking forward became the opposite.The others are right, he ALWAYS complained about the lack of time! We ended up not finishing the entire course!He also thinks it's okay to give a paper back with NO written comments to justify his grading!

The material in this class is extremely easy but he teaches it as it it's complicated. His classes can drag on a lot but he's a decent teacher and his tests are easy. All you have to do is skim over the chapters and listen in class to get an A. I would recommend him to lazy people who don't enjoy a lot of studying, reading, and work in general.

Not the best teacher around. If you honestly want to coast through, then take his class. He doesn't cover all the material and then puts it on his tests. The class requires participation, so raise your hand to answer questions or make points a few times and you should be okay.

Decent guy, but really does care too much. If you miss a class he interrogates you to find out why you missed it. constantly complains about the lack of class participation and how he doesn't want to talk all the time. expects a paper to make up a multiple choice test and is unclear about what he wants on his term paper.

Definitely one of the best! Dr. Adebayo is one of the most helpful professors I've ever met. If you miss a class, he will ask where you were, not to interrogate, but to make sure you're alright. He cares about his students and will do anything in his power to make sure you understand what you're learning. TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU CAN! He's the best!

His lectures are straight off his slides which he posts so you don't really have to go to class, but he takes class attendance for participation marks, so you should go. His tests are all 80 MC very repetitive. Boring but very easy class.

Dada is an very easy marker, but the test questions can be confusing at times. He is kind, and cares about his students. However, if you ask disagree with something he is saying he interprets it as confusion and simply repeats what he just said. As well, if you really are confused he will say "don't worry, it is fine." It's not a language barrier.

He makes live lectures to further teach the course material though you have to read the textbook for the multiple choice tests.

1) He does not respond to emails. 2) He is not good with Moodle. 3) He sets strange due dates. Ex. weekly discussion due Sunday @ 10am, but class is on Wednesday? 4) He tests on subjects that he doesn't cover in his notes or in the readings. 5) online lectures don't have slides, you just listen to him talk. 6) "My goal is you learn, not pass."

Really shows students that if there isn't any pain there won't be gain. All tests are multiple choice so if you study a lot, then you will do well. Usually takes a while to respond, as I find it difficult to get a hold of him. Doesn't really use his slides so content gets confusing after an hour in of class (if its online).

Great prof! If you pay attention, attend, participate, and hand in all your assignments on time, he will definitely like you. His tests are not bad and all the material is from the lecture slides & textbook readings. I heavily recommend that you read the online textbook chapters as they are very helpful. All of his tests are multiple choice!

This class wasn't terrible - if you attend classes and participate he will like you! His instructions were never clear, particularly for the group project. Even when I asked for clarification on a section, all the groups got it wrong. Besides that, there are 3 tests every two chapters which are pretty easy if you review, and there is no final.

Doesn't reply to emails for weeks and when I asked him about the question in class, he said I was wasting his time. But he wasted a whole week by not replying. Talked very rudely. Tries to be friendly in class, but is not helpful at all. Course syllabus was wrong. Says that students blame his accent for things, but that is not the issue at all.

Lectures are waste of time. Only likes students who attend class, rude to everybody else. Doesn't reply to emails. When I asked a question he said I was wasting his time. Seems friendly but is not a nice person at all. The textbook was my only teacher, not him. Due dates are weird on Moodle with dates of the past years and says "ignore those"

Not only will he take days to respond to emails but he also is not empathetic at all towards his students. He will have the power point on screen yet refuse to read any of it and instead attempt to explain everything himself by going on barely understandable tangents. This entire class is self taught, so get ready to read on ur own time.

LOVED this professor. Charming guy, lectures were long but very enjoyable! Only gave us a few assignments and we only had 3 tests, non-cumulative. Genuinely one of the best experiences I've had at KPU. If you're passionate about psych, he will for sure inspire you. Attendance isn't mandatory however it is part of your participation grade!

He often rants about topics unrelated to the subject of the class, and he sometimes is very rude to students who don't participate in discussions. Although there is a mark you get for being in class, he uses the class time horrible and is not helpful in teaching the subject, it would be better to just use the textbook.

It is an easy course, BUT you teach yourself the whole semester. He does not know what he is talking about and the course materials. His lectures are confused and short, usually 1-2 hours. If you want to learn psychological knowledge, do not choose his class!

Attendance is mandatory and tests are heavily based off of the text book. His class is just all lectures but he's entertaining so its not that boring. He's also very disorganized and rushes through lectures which makes it hard to follow and you'll probably need to self-teach a bit. Easy class if you just read the textbook and attend class.

He is caring towards his students however he does not go off of his slides in lectures, tends to go off the topic many times. His course is easy but it is you teaching yourself your test mostly come from the textbook but he will not tell you what to read. He is hard to get a hold of outside of class time will not reply to emails at all.

Not a horrible class, but the professor makes a lot of generalizations based on his own values and experiences. I felt he often contradicted the messages he was trying to relay. There is also a lack of organization which made certain lectures and final group presentations feel rushed. You're also teaching yourself most of the material...

OK class- Kind and funny. Tests all MC, but class avg 60. PowerPoints confusing and notes didn't match lectures- challenging since you will teach yourself a lot. Wont respond to emails, not super knowledgeable on facts, bit insecure. Thick accent can be hard to understand. Attendance marked. Don't buy textbook—can get it online free or not at all.

For an online course, there was mandatory lectures that lasted the full class time each week. He is passionate about course topics. There was 3 exams, an individual project, and a team project. Online exams are relatively easy, projects are marked harshly. Easy to complete online. Lectures are heavily on example of concepts, may rant about topics.
