Dr. Doty is a cozy, amiable, amusing man. I am enjoying his class immensely. He uses lots of strange and funny examples from his private practice, and tells REALLY corny jokes that are so unfunny they're funny. He doesn't hand out many notes, so you actually have to read the textbook. Beware! :-) You will have a blast in Doty's class.

Dr. D. was interesting. As an older student, I grew weary of his jokes and sexual innuendos. But, the kids in the class got a kick out his potty humour. So, take him if you are younger and avoid him if you are more of a mature type.

Fun professor, though tends to go outside the criteria a bit here and there during lecture. Tests are clear and easy to understand if you know the material. Makes Psychology a little more fun for those who may not be majoring in it. Gives essay assignments to help boost up low test grades (ABNORMAL PSY), as well as addressing bonus points to exams.

If you're looking for a really easy A with minimal work, this is not the class. The teacher pretty much lets the students run the class and covers almost nothing about the chapters, so you have to do all the reading on your own to even know what you're suppose to be learning about. Really weird, slightly funny, just used class as a study hall.

Dr. Doty is very laid back. He is always in a cheery mood and tries to make you laugh. I enjoyed his class very much. The lectures are interesting, although they wander off topic (usually to sexual matters) almost all of the time. If you stick to the book and study guides he provides, you should do well. I HIGHLY recommend his classes!

At first I really enjoyed the class- he had a lot of jokes, covered some stuff but after weeks the jokes got old and getting 80s on the tests when I would try hard to grasp all the material got old too. He doesn't really actually teach so you have to read and decide what you need to know alone and there is a lot of misc. info. to sort through.

He is absolutely hilarious and class is fun. However, he covers nothing at all in class pretty much. This was not a problem for me but many students hated it. You MUST do the reading to pass this class and don't expect to get an A unless you read every single chapter in the textbook. Lots of outside work. Take the class for the laughs!

He is a silly person. He loves to tease people, particularly the ones who show up late. He's only being playful and would never hurt someone's feelings.
