Dr. Shepard is a great professor who makes his class very interesting. he explains clearly and he cares about his students. you will love this class
Mr. Shepard is an extremely cool instructor. He is very understanding and helpful. He explains things in a way that it sticks in your head. His teaching methods are excellent, (films, participation, class discussions, etc. ) There are not enough good things, I can say about Mr. Shepard.
He's a great teacher and really cool.
Mr. Shepard is an incredibley awesome prof! If you have a chance to be in any of his classes, TAKE HIM! every class was fun and interesting.

super cool, easy helpful and gives grade curves
this professor is very easy just never be absent because all he teach in class will be onthe exams take good notes and expect an A+ there is not reason to fail his class.
He's Cool instructor. I liked his class alot! BUT!! Its up to you if you wanna do your work and pass. He gives all of the things you need to know. Just write them down and study. Tests are multiple choice and are very simple!
This class was a breeze. Just copy all the notes on the board and take notes on the videos. That is what will be stressed on the test. You will never use the textbook. He uses your attendance as a grade so don't be absent. He is such a great professor and is passionate of what he speaks. I enjoyed his class to the fullest.
Dont think about it twice... he's soooo nicee... !!!! loved his class, super relaxed ;D
Great professor, he knows what he is talking about. Take good notes, attend class everyday, call or email if you are absent and he will excuse your abscence, it should be a breeze. Intresting class and his teaching makes you understand complicated subjects.
Hes a great teacher and very funny. everyone passes his class :o) i recommend him!
REALLY GOOD TEACHER! VERY INTERESTING LECTURES AS WELL JOKES ALOT & FUNNY,EASY 'A' SOME VIDOES ARE BORING BUT HIS LECTURES MAKE UP FOR IT. BECAUSE TESTS ARE BASED ON LECTURES (NOTES & WHAT'S COVERED IN CLASS) ATTENDANCE IS MADITORY!BUT OTHER THAN THAT REALLY GOOD TEACHER!

Great professor, very easy just attend class and listen to the videos. You dont even need your book, just take good notes. The best I have ever taken.
His lectures make the class very interesting. I learned a lot from him. You definitely want to take this class with Shepard! Just make sure to take note of everything and you should do fine on the exams. He even taught us the diff between a pension plan and a 401K. Really informative and fun professor!
Awsome teacher. Test are the notes...EVERYTHING talked about in class is on the exams. Alot a videos which are also on the exams. Attend class and you are fine. + he gives CURVE POINTS ON THE EXAM!!! 20 or 10 extra points...Very easy and you do learn alot..makes everything FUN...GREAT CLASS

Excellent professor. I learned a lot in this class and he is extremely helpful. Take good notes and pay attention to the videos, easy tests and grades you in attendance as well.
This teacher is very helpful. He makes it so much easier for you to understand and enjoy his class. I learned a lot. More people need to take his class!!!!!LORENA SUAREZ
He is awesome!!! One of the best proffesors I've ever had!! His class is lots of fun, lots of videos, just don't miss class and take good notes, his test are based on his notes. :D
He is awesome. The videos he shows are good and some are funny! But I enjoyed his class!! Highly reccomended
this class was very fun & interesting, not boring at all. There will be lots of videos & exams are based on notes. EASY GRADE, EASY LEARNING.
The best professor ever, I would definitely recommend him. If one day I make it to major in this career I would love to be like him with my students. Recommended!!!
Mr. Sheperd is one of the best teachers ive ever had the privledge to take. I strongly recommend his class. He has a really good way of teaching and makes it interesting and fun, I wont miss a class. 2 thumbs up.
Love his class! Fun teacher! Attendance is worth a grade so don't miss..Book is hardly used. You mainly take notes and watch videos. Study for exams!
Best Teacher!! Show up for class, listen and take notes. He is funny and shows lots of video's that help you learn. Hurry and get him, his classes fill and no one drops them.
One of the easiest class you will ever take...
Excellent professor. Mostly lectures and tells you to refer to parts of the book later. Tests are mostly from lectures and videos. Very helpful and allows for extra credit assignments.
AWESOME!!! if u have to take psyc i strongly recommend him! he makes everything easy to understand! attendance is a grade so don't miss...and just study the material he gives u and u should have NO PROBLEMS :)
Mr.Shepard is an awesome professor.I took him for Psychology. He has a Sense of Humor. Easy class! Take notes.Attend class its for a grade. He shows a lot of clips. Highly recommended!
very nice teacher. dont even use book. just go to class and write all the notes because all of his tests are on those notes.
Great Teacher !!
Mr. Shepard is amazing! He has a sense of humor and makes things easy. He loves discussions so participate. Take notes and ask questions because they are all on the tests. Only bad thing is that he doesn't use study guides. He also shows a lot of videos. Highly recommended! (:
Prof. shepard is awesome and cool! he doesnt go by the book all the time because he wants us to learn it by not memorizing but understanding things.. one of the best and super nice prof. i've ever met! im lucky to be on his class!
he is the best professor!! i learned so much from him! if you take him you will be amazed at how much you learn from him. he makes class fun and intresting so your eager to come back! attendance is mandatory becuz if you miss a day you can get lost! he likes to show lots of short films!! this is an easy A!! just show up to class!
Awesome professor teaches stuff you use in life. Three exams, all on lectures and films, so take notes. Attendance is for a grade. No homework
Awesome teacher he makes class fun and enjoyable. 3 exams over stuff discussed in class and nothing else. Attendance is mandatory, but well worth it. He shows lots of short films and teaches things that apply to life today. I would definitely recommend to anyone in need of PSY credit.
I am currently taking his Lifespan class, and honestly am not impressed. All these comments are positive about him, so I'm sorry to be the only negative one. He is a nice guy and is helpful. Yes he is easy, but boring. We haven't used the required text all semester. I planned on learning a lot more about the lifespan than what he is providing for m
very easy class! you will pass for sure, interesting videos and topics. just go to class or you will be lost on exams. lots of info comes from notes. take lots of notes because he ask those things that seem irrelevant on exam.not hard at all. I recommend this class.
Very easy teacher. I wish he was a little more strict since I felt that a lot of students were disrespectful by always showing up very late. Maybe it all showed in the exams, since all three were about the videos and stuff he talked about in class. So maybe those people that were always absent and late failed. Just go to class, its fun!
Best teacher ever! he was the best teacher ive have ever had. he will teach u everything there has to be learned for that semester(: goo mr. shepard!
Professor Shepard has been by far my favorite professor, I enjoyed his class so much, I took him for Lifespan & Adolescent Psyc. He is very funny, and also very helpful in class. I would recommend him for any Psychology course, he really is a wonderful professor, I received A's in both courses, just take good notes & pay attention in class!
I LOVEEE THIS CLASS BEST CLASS I HAVE EVER HAD I WISH HE WAS MY PROFESSOR FOR ALL SUBJECTS. HE MAKES THING SOO FUN AND INTERESTING YOU TALK ABOUT SUBJECT THAT ARE SO INTERESTING. HE GIVES NO HW BUT HE DOES HAVE EXAMS NOT TO MANY THOUGH YET HE TELLS YOU WAT TO STUDY! EASY BUT YET FUN COURSE RECOMMEND HIM WIT 5 STARS :)
Great prof; He's very passionate about psychology and doesn't just go by the book but teaches info applicable to real life. Loved his lectures; lots of short videos. No routine assignments but attendance is for a grade. 3 Exams (including final) on a curve. Extra credit available if you need it. You don't need the textbook if you take good notes.
Awesome teacer! loved his class. And one of my new favorite words is Amazing phenomena! :)
Very interesting class and very easy too. He is very simple and makes the class very interesting with visuals (videos and pictures). He doesn't use the book only at times to study for exams. Just take notes and study and you'll be good.
This was an easy class. You don't really need the book, all the exams are based on his lectures, so just show up, pay attention, and take notes and you will pass. I got a B and that's cause I never studied for an exam, if you study you will get an A. No class assignments just lectures and videos. Interesting subject too.
Took him for 3 different classes and got A's in all 3. His class is real simple and attendance is mandatory also because his tests are directly from his lectures and videos. He's an awesome professor, probably my favorite one at STC, and he knows exactly what he's talking about.
Professor Shepard developed an interest in Psychology I never knew I had until I took his General Psychology & Lifespan courses. His lectures aren't straight from a textbook, in fact you won't need the book much at all. His lectures are interesting enough on their own. I'm now a Psychology major because of him. Highly recommend!
awesome teacher easy A+. i recomend him i wish there were more teachers like him. he made me 2nd guess my major and go into pschology beacause he makes things so intresting.
This teacher was cool and he very interesting as well. Just take good notes and study study STUDY for the his test. He only gives out 3 test through out the semester. The only negative thing I can say is that he should use blackboard to keep things on track on dates , urgent messages, and test grades besides that he's awesome i recommend him.
GREAT PROFESSOR,, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Overall, very interesting class, lecture is based mostly on videos, exam questions come straight from the videos so make NOTES...
Easy A as long as you take good notes and pay attention in class. Took him for Summer II, there was only 3 exams which come from the lectures so taking good notes is crucial. Attendance is a must! (You get an A as a grade just for attending everyday). Very interesting professor not your typical boring class. Take him, trust me you won't regret it!
He's such a great teacher ! I have never had such a funny teacher. I just took him summer2 I don't regret taking his class and you won't either . He also gives a lot of extra points. He's a easy teacher.
Easy class just write down what he writes on the board and attend class hes plays videos in addition to his lectures.His test are easy because its all the notes he wrote on the board and a few questions from the videos. take him you wont regret it :)
eassssy class, interesting too, attendance is part of ur grade. just write the notes down and study just a little and u will get an easy A. u don't need the book either.
Prof Sheppard is actually pretty funny, he is also a rather easy teacher. He also curves the grades a bit. One thing I must mention is that the course itself is hard, but if you try to focus on the information he gives, it will be an easy class and you will have a fun time watching the videos he shows. (A lot of them)
THE BEST PROFESSOR!! take him you will never regret it. class is so interesting and he is super funny! you don't need the book at all just take notes and attend class so you be able to watch all the videos, because his tests are all from notes he write on the board and videos. I just fell in love with his class! NOT BORING AL ALL!!
By far the best professor I've had so far! His class is all based on notes, so whatever notes you take in class is your study guide for his exams. There's only three exams in the whole semester. Class is easy if you actually pay attention to his lectures. He doesn't require the book! Exams are based on what he talks about in class not the book.
No textbook required! There are 3 tests and they consist of what he writes on the board and also from short videos. Very easy class. Questions are about general concepts and principles. Took it in summer thinking it would be hard but was fairly easy with not much work involved, only effort. Would gladly recommend! Take him, you won't regret it.
BEST Professor ever!!!Just take notes & listen in class and you will pass this course.Easiest class Ive Ever taken!!!
I took his class and liked it, as a psych major I would've loved for him to be more involved or gives us more homework, but since I was taking other classes, I guess being an easy class worked. He shows video throughout much of the class period which are very educational, except the science ones. Recommend
Best class I've taken!! I had him for life span and now I'm taking him for general psych! No book needed, just take good notes. Everything he talkers class will be on the test. There is only 3 exams.
Mr. Shepard is a very great professor! His lecture are not boring at all. Does take notes down on the board for you, and has a lot of videos that can help with your understanding on the lecture of the day. VERY EASY!!!
Mr. Shepard is a great instructor. HIs memory is excellent, lectures are long but is exactly what is on the tests. Lots of videos, goes over what will be on the tests and plenty of chances to answer any questions or concerns. Showing up to class is a huge part of your grade. Would take it again. Highly recommended.
Amazing professor! His lectures are long but he has humor so they're never boring. He shows interesting videos that tie up to the lectures. The book is not required, just make sure you go everyday and take notes. Quizzes are multiple choice and he does offer extra credit.
Absolute favorite professor. Very kind an extremely humble. He loves listening to his students an has a passion for teaching students about important things that will make a huge impact in their life. His humor and clarity is extremely admirable and the movies shown in class are full of life lessons. Best class I have ever taken!
He was an awesome professor, I loved his class. A lot of his test are based on his lectures and videos that he shows during class, so as long as you're present, take notes and study - it's an easy A!
Dr. Shepard is a very humble and smart teacher. Gives curves in exams & takes points off for absence. All you have are 3 exams. Easy A, will try to scare you by saying A's were for A students. Lectures are videos and him explaining of course. Take notes of everything! Everything he says and including the videos are on the test. Loved this professor
Great professor! Always responds back to emails. lectures are not boring at all! He wants you to remember everything so he makes it interesting! Easy A just take notes on every video and everything he says.
This is my first class on Tirsdays and Thursdays and he makes my day, very great optimistic personality and I respect him. My first best psychology class so far!
Omg this man is a pro at Psychology!!! I'm glad I'm taking his class this semester it's not very stressful and it's fun too!! No homework just videos and 3 tests and no final either!! You must take his class!!!
Excellent teacher! I admire and respect him so much. I learned a lot in his class. He shows a lot of videos which makes the material easy to relate to and understand. Listen & take good notes, fairly easy (and fascinating) class!
Hands Down!! The Best Teacher I ever took this semester!! I'm a nursing major and this class was required I'm glad i chose him!! The best part is NO BOOK NEEDED OR HOMEWORK!!! I wanna take him again!!
Dr Shepard is an expert in his field for sure. he is such a good teacher. He plays a lot of videos so you have to come to class but he explains everything so well and writes notes on the board too. He is also very encouraging and makes you want to learn. he is one of my favorite professors!
Mr. Sheppard is amazing. His lectures are usually really entertaining and he gives good review sheets. You only have three exams (which are pretty eady if you bother to listen in class and study) and it's unusual for homework to be handed out. Easy A in my opinion, and I'd definitely take class with him again.
It was a pleasure taking Mr. Shepard's class. He only gives exams. No quizzes, no homework, or no final exam. PLUS he reviews everything the day before each exam, so you know most of what will be on it. He is very straight forward and clear about instructions. Lots of videos that make learning interesting. Put some effort and you will get an A.
Amazing professor! if you don't attend class you will not pass! take good notes of the videos, everything that is talked about in class is on the test. there is no homework nor quizzes, only 3 tests and no final!
Highly recommend this professor. He cares about his students and tries to make the content as interesting as possible. Reading the book is not needed to get an A. Just take GOOD notes - not just what he writes on the board. Lecture involves videos that often funny and dated but he makes up for it with his passion. Just 3 exams - no final!
write down everything he says, no need for book to be honest. Very nice man. Just take notes and dont be absent and you will get an A.
Awesome professor, tries to tell corny jokes. Although we watched a lot of videos, they were all incorporated into his exams. He did curve our exam grades and attendance was a grade as well. It was an easy A since I didn't miss class.
Wonderful professor. Book not needed, just show up everyday. Lectures are mostly online videos and then he will talk and write on the board. TAKE GOOD NOTES on what he SAYS, not just what he writes, and you will pass. No homework, only 3 exams (graded on curve). Verbal study guide before exams is exactly what is on tests, so no excuse to fail.
He's one of my top favorite professors! I enjoyed listening to his lecture. He plays videos in class so make sure to pay attention, because you will get tested on stuff that happens in the videos. Attendance is mandatory, he'll take off points for each day you aren't there. Tests are easy if you pay attention in class. Make sure to take good notes
Grades consist of only 3 exams. The exams are very easy! He will go over what is on the test. Make sure you take notes and pay attention. Sometimes he will add points to the exams. Overall great professor! I do recommend taking his class.
He is a good teacher, you have to pay attention to his class and write notes because that will be your test
He is a very sweet, caring professor. Incredibly smart as well! There are 3 exams total, everything you need to know is what he talks about and what the videos talk about. Make sure to pay attention and take notes. His exams are super easy if you study your notes. It was a pleasure taking this course with him! You wont regret taking him!
The class and lectures are easy. He does a mix of lecture and videos. Exams are based on lectures and 50 questions long. Easy class to pass and Attendance is a grade. He grades exams with a curb so you are sure to pass.
He is a very nice teacher! Just go to class, pay attention and write down notes and you will pass the three tests. The notes you take in class are your review for the exams.
Class consisted of only 3 tests the entire semester. He mostly shows videos but make sure to pay attention because they will be on the test! Hes a nice, caring teacher and gives extra credit one time only.
No homework and no textbook required. He takes attendance for a grade you're only allowed to miss twice. Very easy professor just pay attention to videos. All he really does is play videos it's pretty awesome. Very easy fun class, I would definitely recommend Shepard. Only 4 grades all semester and he drops the lowest, 3 test and 1 attendance.
He was such a good teacher. Everything he talks about in his lectures are on the tests.
This man is really intelligent and he makes class fun. Super easy to understand the material. He prefers showing videos and lecturing rather than using the textbooks. Just write down whatever he writes on the board and you'll get an A on the exams. I highly recommend taking his class to everyone. The only way to fail would be to never show up.
