What Students Say

He was a good professor, but for a 1 credit course there was a lot of work, I am a third year psych major student and I didn't know this class was a mandatory class, so I am not new to psychology, but this course does prepare you for what is needed if you are interested in grad school

Copeland is a good teacher. He knows what he's talking about and I learned alot in this class. he is also a slash and burn grader. This was the hardest A I have ever worked for. he also made a mean comment about my intellegence after I left the room once. Also hes very vague on whats going on tests.

Easily one of the best professors at UNLV. Has a perfect teaching style that challenges the student but is not unrealistic. Makes you keep up with the material throughout the course and you actually retain it once the course is done. Study to keep up with daily quizzes and cumulative exams and you'll get an A.

10/10 Great professor!! Learned so much from his course. There's so much information given from his class that I used and will continue to be using throughout college. Will work things out if you need to turn assignments in late. Really hard to fail his course unless you truly don't do anything. Really nice guy and couldn't recommend him more.

Dr. Copeland is an amazing professor. One of the best qualities about him is that he wants you to succeed, and he is always there if you ever have any questions regarding classwork or your future goals. There is a lot of reading involved, but it's manageable. Short and easy assignments are done quickly. Utilize the time to speak with him if needed.

For an online class, you can feel the presence of Dr. Copeland as there are a plethora of videos included, whether it be general tips or interviews with other professionals. Meeting with Dr. Copeland was also incredibly informative and helpful! He's pretty funny and kind, wants to see psychology students succeed, and is willing to support you!

Dr.Copeland is a very involved professor and is always willing to help you. I found his class to be very useful and informative; it's definitely a great guide in your academic career. Weekly modules are not hard to follow so it's very easy to maintain a good grade in this course.

For a 1 credit course, it is a lot of work. Quizzes are fairly easy, as long as you have the textbook at hand. Super lenient and provides great feedback. Lovely professor and I learned a lot, even if I didn't give my 100% effort into things. You do have to have a peer mentor meeting, which is hard with scheduling, but they were kind and nice.

Really easy class and it was actually one of my most helpful classes so far. You actually learn what you can do with a psychology bachelor.

Dr. Copeland is great! Assignments were weekly 4 question quizzes, career expert videos, a pre and post assessment, and the final assignment at the end of the semester. Most students left after the quiz was over, but if you stay for the lecture he provides really great information. Quizzes are easy if you do the reading beforehand. Great class!

Grading is based on showing up to class once a week and taking mini quizzes. His textbook requirement does have a lot of good information, but it is not necessary to be successful in any of the quizzes or get an A. You can tell he genuinely cares about students in his class, and he even met with me outside of class to discuss career paths.

This guy is very picky when it comes to grading and is very passive aggressive in his emails. Will not be taking him again.

This course could have been a 3 seminar vice and entire semester and it is a lot of work for a one credit course. The expectation is that students provide real information for big assignments.
