Extremely articulate and engaging. However, he needs to make the class more serious and intense. This I think, will cause the students to take the class more seriously. Incorporating humor and casualness in his teaching is nice, but will backfire when the test comes, as students are not expecting a tricky test. Otherwise, smart, funny, and cute

He moves Very Fast, if you pass 3 tests with all above 90 then your going to get a solid A+ if you messed up then you have to make up for it there's 4 tests so do well on the all 3 and yo don't have to do the 4th. I loved him but i would not recommend him because he teaches at a level that he expects everyone to be at par with him which isn't fair.

I really enjoyed this class, maybe because I'm a psychology major, however this class was easy for me. All the tests were online, until the Psych board made him give in class tests. Even after that, the tests were easy and understandable if you showed up, paid attention and took notes from the powerpoints. I don't remember using the book.

Such a great professor! He explains everything in detail, and relates it to everyday situations. His test are easy as long as you understand the material. No homework and drops the lowest test grade. Textbook isn't mandatory, but recommended.

Very straightforward. All his slides are online and during class he goes in depth and explains the slides thoroughly. If you listen to his lectures during class you will defenitely be prepared for his exams because everything on the slides and what he says in class is what is on the tests. He does not give anything that he did not already cover.

It was an online class and it was great. Professor Troy will give plenty of time for you to listen and study his youtube audio/ slides and do the homework. Fair grading and easy exams, just do your homework on time and listen to the audio and you'll get the info you need to pass the class. This was my first online class and I loved it!

Professor Troy is the most organized and scheduled professor. I chose him for my next semester too. He is always ready to answer your emails, his feedback is good. His grading system is very clear and grades by few things. This was very interesting class.

I chose him for my online class. He has very good youtube videos recorded which you need to watch to do well on assignments. He also has notes on each chapter which is very helpful and power points as well. His quizzes are very straight forward. Great professor. Who makes online learning very comfortable

On tests and exams he gets the questions sometimes, out of nowhere. but overall the grade was great, I was expecting A- but he gave me A+ .. I was not that much into his classes since it seemed to me kind of boring.

I advise Professor Troy to everyone exciting and valuable videos and material in general. He does not set many tasks. He will always answer messages if you turn in assignments on time, watch videos and read the material. The professor will give a high score.

Easy class. Very few quizzes, 2 attempts (grade is the average of the 2 attempts), and you can do them all whenever you want as long it is before the deadline. Other work given is also easy, and you will usually get the grade for your work by the end of the week it was submitted. Lectures and powerpoints are insightful

Amazing professor who enjoys actually enjoys teaching-rarity in this world. Follow his due dates and submit everything on time! He grades on a timely manner and gives heads up. Tests are through Blackboard and there are two tries which are averaged. Participate and do the extra credit-it's easy and interesting.
