Took the TV class. For the most part, it's an easy class; you just write summaries and e-mail them to him. HOWEVER, during the few times that you are required to meet him, he comes off as something like a dud. Late, disorganized (there weren't enough seats for everybody in the room during the midterm), thinks too much of himself, easily offended.

Thinks way too much of himself. I mean, give me a break, he's not even a Psy.D or Ph.D! He only has a Master's in marriage counseling, which is really not that legit anyway. Plus, the way he conducts his study sessions is stupid; why should we get punished if 3 people he calls on don't know anything? (He cancels the study session right after.)

If you're looking for the ideal psych professor who can also be a mentor, Guich isn't it.

Love Professor Guich! Nice man that will do his best to help you when you ask. I took 2 psych classes with him and it has been wonderful. The three tests can be a little difficult, also there is a term paper and you answer one discussion question a week (which he lets you do over if you get less than a point). It doesn't get any better than this!

His lectures are unclear. He skips slides that are not on the tests. Goes very slow at the beginning and so fast at the end of class. He complains about his students, life, etc to the extent that I always was wondering did he even read these psychology text books he is teaching. Tests are easy as long as you were in class since he give all questio

I took this class online over Winter semester. The class had clear grading criteria and was really straight forward. He replied to emails with in 24 hours. If you are looking for an easy A I recommend taking him. As long as you turn in all discussion questions and the two essays on time and pass all the test you should be fine. Tests not hard.

Professor Guich is wonderful! I took his Winter class session and it was definitely fast paced but I learned a lot. He responds to his students within 24 hours. He grades very fairly. There were 19 Discussion Questions and you must do all of them to get a good grade. 3 exams and 1 term paper. Easy A. Would recommend!

You teach yourself, he doesn't provide any additional material or give much feedback. Class was not difficult but it was time consuming. Winter Session: Lots of reading per week (6 chapters/week), must answer a discussion question for each chapter, for a total of 19 posts, and a 7-10 page term paper. 3 Multiple Choice Exams.

Make sure you participate and finish assignments correctly the first time and you will receive full credit. Do your practice exams and read every single chapter. After taking his class, I feel I learned a lot more about myself and others. Very good course. I would absolutely take another course with him. He is a great teacher and a very nice man.

I took him for winter semester and I very much enjoyed his class. Granted, it was a lot of work (but shockingly, almost all winter classes are). He was very clear on emails and grading. I was shocked how much I enjoyed the class. It was definitely proof that it you work hard, youll get the grade you earned.

it was a winter class, and i am a former accountant and not a social-sciences person, so it took some work to rise and shine :) but theprofessor is organized, responsive, and fair. i really enjoyed his selection of the reading material outside the textbook - many takeaways from this class i will use in my personal life, too.

The class was easy. The work was simple. The guidelines were clear. But oh my god was there a lot of writing. It was just so tedious. I took this class along with 2 other online classes. The other 2 were a breeze, but the workload for this was 6x the amount of the others.

Be ready to read and write massive amounts for this class. Discussion boards require a lot of writing along with reading/watching various videos. The exams are not bad if you understand the material. Learned a lot from the class but you have the work hard to get good grades. Professor does give good feedback and opportunities to succeed.

There is 5 short essay questions and 5 Discussion questions per week based off 5 chapter readings from a textbook that he gives you the pdf of (textbook takes me 3 hours per chapter - but info is simple/interesting). 3 midterms which are easy to get an a or b on. For a winter class, I'd prefer an easier teacher as he grades harsh for DQ & SE.

Do not let negative comments fool you. The professor is great and responsive. Clear expectations and very fair as he gives chances to improve grades on assignments. If you plan on winging this class, then don't take it. Passing grades are not free, so you'll need to earn them. Overall, class is clearly defined. It's all up to you.

Professor Guich is the goat, literally. I wish he taught more psych classes at mission. He is clear with what he expects and grades fairly. I had him for PSY 1 and he made me fall in love with the subject.

I took Guich's class in the winter semester and I loved: The content, we had many resources other than the book! Fast responser, and he gave additional help/links if answer was wrong. Caring, he was extremely flexible when my book was delayed by a week and when I had a family matter come up towards the end of the class and needed more time.

I highly recommend Professor Guich because he cares about his students learning and holds them accountable. He gives constant feedback, cares about his students learning the material, and has great communication skills. He emails reminders constantly, which is extremely helpful for an online class.

So much work for a 6wk summer class and tough grader! You must read the chapters in the textbook if you want to get good scores on the homework. Heavy on using evidence aka citing from the textbook. Each module includes a short essay and discussion question. YOU MUST BE VERY SPECIFIC WHEN ANSWERING IF YOU WANT FULL CREDIT! 2 Midterms and a Final.

Professor Guich is organized, approachable, and clear about expectations. He explains concepts well, provides thorough feedback, and grades quickly. Stay on top of assignments - the workload is consistent and requires effort. His well-structured content makes even fast-paced classes manageable. Just don't slack off.
