Truly cares for the success of his students. Professor Lipscomb uses great PowerPoint's in class and gives his students detailed class notes for each chapter. He provides study guides for each exam which is important if you plan on passing his exams. Understand the concepts, don't memorize the guide. You'll make an "A" if you follow this advice.

Nice guy, but I would avoid taking him. If being productive entails rushing through the lesson without taking some time to slow down and really explain concepts, then this is your man.

I took this class because I needed the credit and had no real interest in the subject. After finishing the class that hasn't changed. The layout for the class is simple enough, 4 test and about 10 different labs. The labs should take more then an hour to finish but that's not the problem. The test are what people will complain about. The test are tough, you have to study the study guide perfectly to do very well. If you need help or anything, he's there to help.

I'm not sciency, but Dr. Lipscomb has a wonderful understanding of how brains are diverse, so he teaches in a way that if you're more artistic and intuitive you'll do well, and if you're more mathy-sciency you'll do well. Just come to class, take notes, and don't be afraid to ask questions. Would take again.

I took the class online so I never met professor lipscomb, but just by listening to his online reviews he seems very knowledgeable and will tell you what you need to know for the tests. READ THE BOOK. That along with doing all the labs and listening to his reviews will get you an A. There's alot of work in this class, but he made it interesting!

It might be a little tough as he does have high expectations, but I guarantee it is worth it at the end. He will make you LOVE Psychology.

Professor Lipscomb was overall an amazing professor. He was really easy to relate to and had a personal experience to link to almost all of his lectures that were all relative and most often funny. He was always willing to talk after class about questions on the lecture or any questions you may have in general. I would 100% recommend this class.

Professor Lipscomb is the best professor I've ever had. I took him for two psych classes and wish he taught all of them! The grading breakdown is as follows: 7-8 labs (writing analysis assignments about topics in class, turned in online) and 3 tests, no comprehensive exam. Tests are difficult and are 75 questions long, but just study! He's the best
