So I'm doing OK so far - just read the book and watch the lectures. So far haven't gotten below an 83 on his exams. They are straight from the book. Just went to the SOAP session and it really changed my mind about this prof! I was dreading it but it ended up being FUN and really important information! READ, WATCH, ATTEND, and PASS (easily)!

Good teacher, helps ur self-worth by admitting hes not perfect no1is, watch, read, study u do good. Buy book on craigslist search UCF Management save $$

He's a nice guy but his tests are NO JOKE. Do not take them lightly. I read the chapters and did a lot of memorizing to get B's on the tests. Also thanks to people submitting study guides. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT & SOAP. It will help in the end.

You have to read the book to get an A. The study guides to the exams basically cover the whole book. Also, he includes some weird questions on the exams to make sure you're watching the lectures (I took the online class) so make sure you watch or listen to them. He uses allot of analogies for the points he wants to make - some are confusing.

Took it during summer. You get more out of it when you attend the live lecture, which he makes interesting with examples to help you remember the material. Read the book or you fail. Very straightforward. Tests are 90% from the book, 5% from lectures, and 5% from supplemental videos. Easy B, hard A... but he offers extra credit at the end.

OK, so not that hard to get a B. Read the heck out of the book, and make detailed notes. A few ?'s from the lectures, but some of them are funny so I watched all. He's actually a really nice guy. Dunno about the previous raters - this is NOT a hard class (I got an A- with some moderate effort).

98% of his exam questions are from the textbook. You have to read the chapters more than a few times to understand the concepts and theories to pull atleast a 'B' in the class. I took him Spring 2009 but I've heard since then he has gotten more difficult. Anyways, not an easy A.. actually, not an easy B either.

One of the best teachers at UCF. His tests are hard & you have to study the book well. Some complain because he doesn't spoonfeed students and tell them what the exam questions will be. Instead he gives inspiring lectures and takes management from theory to real life. His lectures will prepare you better than powerpoint slides. Give them a chance!

I agree with the rating from 12/3. This professor is awesome. He actually played his guitar to help us remember a concept....Communication!! See i still remember it 2 months later. People who bash Dean are just lazy because he doesnt spoonfeed you what you need to study. Heaven forbid you actually have to work for your grade.

Great teacher. you MUST buy the book, If you want a chance at passing the class, you MUST read the book. only grades that count are tests you get best4 out of 5. Enjoyed the class, teacher was fun and made a boring class pretty interesting. very creative teacher

It is not hard to get an A in this class. Simply read the textbook and do the publishers chapters test. This class does require work but it's not that bad.

I loved his class. I like that he tells personal stories. I hate professors who read straight from slides or study guides; I'm not a monkey so I don't need to be taught like one. His personal stories relate to the material. Tests were easy once I started making flash cards of definitions. Read chapters b4 lecture & watch supp videos. Fun lectures.

Great Professor. Uses examples and his personal stories to teach. He's very funny, and makes his 3 hour class fly by. Using what you read from the book, and his stories you not only learn the words but it helps you understand the concepts behind the vocab. I would suggest going to class, and not watching it online.

While by no means an EASY course, Dr. Cleavenger is a very well rounded and likable professor. The comments saying how his lectures are pointless are wrong. They need to open their mind and appreciate a professor who uses his own stories to enrich the curriculum. I have zero interest in management, but his lectures are very interesting, and funny!

He was a great teacher.I went to talk with him during his office hours and he was very helpful.The tests are pretty hard, you have to study the book THOROUGHLY! There are 5 tests, he drops lowest grade.Lectures don't go by the book but actually relate the info to real life, other ppl complain too much. He offers extra credit too!

This class requires that you read the chapters for the test, watch supplemental videos and watch the lectures (go fast until you get to a section you want to play at normal speed). The stories he tells relate/connect to the chapter material. If you read/scan the chapter before class you will recognize the connection. Learn the terms you'll do fine.

I aced this class even though I dreaded it due to the comments in this site. Study and you will ace it!

I was worried about this class because of all of the negative comments, but it was extremely interesting. Lectures provided clear examples explaining concepts, making them easier to understand. If you read/study the textbook you will do great on exams.

Dr. Cleavenger is an outstanding speaker. His lectures are inspiring and teach you about the world of business better than any other profesor at UCF COB. Must read the book to do well on the exams. 5 tests, drops one with the lowest score. Tests based of lecture and textbook material. Not too hard. Got a B.

His lectures are pretty irrelevant, but he keeps them interesting if you do decide to sit through them. Best thing you can do for yourself is study the book's test bank! Helped me scrape out a 90 in the class. Also watch the supplemental videos even if they are 30 years old. The 2 required books are easy reads so don't worry too much about them.

This professor is an amazing speaker and his lectures will help expand your thinking. You have to read the textbook (gasp), you could get away without going to his class but you would miss 3-5 very easy questions per test and miss out on a really good teacher.

Professor Dean Cleavenger is what you call an "out of the box" instructor. He won't bore you with powerpoint slides, but instead provides real life examples from the topics discussed. His lectures can be transformational, if you keep an open mind. You won't be dissappointed. He's a great Professor and I would take him again!

It's a difficult class - but THIS IS COLLEGE! His lectures are not "useless" as other students have said. He takes the topics from the book and applies it to the real-world of management. You MUST read the book, watch the lectures, and the supplemental videos in order to do well. This was the first class I had that felt like I was in college.

I really liked his class. I am in college now, so I do not expect easy tests with study guides! You have to read the book! He wrote it and it was new this semester, and I did much better on the second exam once I started reading in more detail. He uses real stories instead of lecturing from a powerpoint. Teaches concepts instead of definitions.

Students who complain about this course don't don't appreciate knowledge. He knows what he is talking about and approaches teaching in a practical way. He does not have powerpoint shows because they are usually NOT helpful anyway. He prefers class participation, and although he might go on tangents it always ties back into the course material.

He tells great stories that make you want to come to class. The stories are about real life experience, and how they relate to the text. One of the best professors at UCF. This class is very challenging, and you have to read and study to do well. He is a great guy, and I enjoyed his class. Many students wish he taught all of the classes at UCF.

He is hilarious! The class is lecture capture but I attend every class because he makes it fun =) The people who write that he's not a good teacher or almost failed the class are those who don't read the book or study and expect to be given a grade. Yes, you need to study for this course but you're given a study guide! Highly recommend Dr Cleavenge

Dr. Cleavenger is a great guy and is VERY passionate about what he's teaching. A very psychology based look at management. The class is chock full of great techniques for managing. If you want to learn this is the place. Lecture is ambiguous and tests are moderately hard. But that's a good thing.

Very time consuming class. However, if you keep up with the lectures you should be fine. 5 tests (final optional) and drops lowest test score. His style of teaching is very different but being a senior I have to say that this is the class I've learned the most. Got an A-

He's a nice guy and has some pretty funny/interesting stories. You need to be very self-motivated and READ the textbook very carefully and make good notes. The lecture content really only constitutes maybe 20% of the TOTAL content and he's a storyteller so it's not "facts". Don't think you can watch the lectures and not read - you will do poorly!

His lectures can be very funny and entertaining but his tests are very difficult. His tests are based off the book, supplemental videos, & the lectures [which contain detailed story information] I would say this class is an easy B but a very hard A

Great professor. He's really funny and you will learn more than management. You also learn very important life lessons. TAKE HIS CLASS!! If you put in the time and effort, this class is an easy A.

He is a great professor! He relates stories from his experiences back to the topics discussed in the class and book. The stories are very entertaining, and he keeps the class interested for the whole 2 hours.

Any one who bashes on this guy is the typical dumb business major just trying to skate by and go drink. Great teacher. Interesting material. You can tell he really cares about teaching his students. If you enter this class willing and excited to learn you'll enjoy it. Dont read book, just go over outlines before tests. watch all videos and lectures

He cares immensely about his students. He puts details on tests from lectures and supplemental videos which forces you to watch them. Study guides are helpful/specific! Easy 5% of your grade by taking a personality assessment. He offers up to 3 grade% points extra credit too! Best 4/5 test grade counts, Take him! Great professor, fun lectures :)

The professor means well, but his stories go on & on & on! The class overall is easy, but make sure you attend class because portions of the tests are from his long stories. He also has supplemental videos that are part of the test as well. Nice teacher, just needs to get to the point!

Awesome teacher. He cares about the subject and he cares that his students actually get it. He relates management theories to his own experiences. In order to do well in this class you must 1) watch lecture 2)watch supplemental videos 3)read the text and 4)complete the study guides.

He loves his students and tries to keep class interesting... I didnt always go to class, read the book, and made study guides and did well. text me if you are interested in buying the book 5612716689

Best class I've ever attended. People who bash him obviously want everything handed to them and don't get the concept of 'critical thinking'. He puts so much effort into his lectures and like others have mentioned, he cares about his students tremendously. He won't babysit you. Everything is in the book and the study guide is basically the test. Ea

Loved his class! Very entertaining and warm guy. His lectures are a little useless, but they have a deep meaning and are a good laugh. He arranges for fun days and nights, they are a lot fun! Textbook is MANDATORY.

Great professor and nice to listen to. Talks to students as equals and has a good sense of humor. Lectures are all about story time and real life examples. 10ish questions per exam are over lecture and supplemental videos. The rest is textbook so it's up to you to complete the study guide which is very on target. Time consuming class. Got an A.

Great professor. Lectures are on his real life experiences but tests are straight forward. He always has a really hot GTA which makes going to class better.

Great professor! First lecture capture class that I felt it was actually worth going to..he manages to make it personal even though there are a ton of students in the class. He uses stories from his life to help you actually understand and retain the information instead of just memorize it.

Very interesting classes, need to read book to complete your knowledge for the tests. Easy enough to take along with other challenging courses. MUST watch lectures!!!

This is a very unique and interesting class. The lectures are more life lessons than class material, Dr. C is a very passionate and genuine man and you will see this in his lectures. To do good grade-wise, print out the study guide and read the sections in the book that the guide outlines, that's it tests are extremely easy. 5 tests top 4 count.

20% of the exam is lecture and extra videos (10/50 questions). Take simple notes on the lecture - seems pointless, but it will help. Class is interesting if you want to be in management. Only talks in stories, which is interesting, but once he just played his guitar for like 13 minutes for no reason. To say it gently, he can waste class time.

Management of Organizations is about relationships. Dr. C. lectures about life but don't miss the point that it is 100% applicable to the business world. If you listen with an open mind you might learn something new about yourself. Read the book for tests. Take this class, highly recommended.

His lectures are designed to make the student think. He understands that the we will forget all of the content in the book and that it's useless. He cut most of the content out of the book so reading takes about 30 min. per chapter. Tests are VERY straightforward. I recommend coursemob because the questions are straight from old tests!

I'm not sure why people don't like this guy. He's got awesome stories and lectures about his life, as opposed to reading you the book. For me, this was much more interesting and helped me to apply this to my own life. People want easy, hand-held professors. That's not Dr. C. He's going to make you think. His GTAs can be rude sometimes, but he cares

I am incredibly surprised by the low ratings for Dr. C. His personal stories ADD to the material about management. He incorporated personal stories in a very relevant manner. You do have to study, but you will learn. He is very authentic and transparent and I personally was inspired and learned a lot from him. Highly recommend!

Dean was really cool. He doesn't teach any material from the textbook in class so you absolutely must use the textbook. Just follow his study guides and you'll do fine. In the study guide, I wouldn't focus on the vocabulary so much. The important vocabulary are in the concepts already. His class takes some work but, it's worth it. I learned a lot.

Dean was really cool! Neat guy with neat stories! People complaining about him must be bad at reading and comprehending a basic text book. The guy is a good teacher.

Overall he is a good teacher, and although i know some people did not like his lectured i found them easy to listen too. BIGGEST COMPLAINT are the tests. They seem to pick on small details that are hard to remember rather than concept. MY ADVICE Watch all lectures and videos and reading in the week before a test, u will have a better retention.

The tests ask VERY specific questions from the textbook. A small portion comes from the lectures and other videos as well. Not really a difficult class if you study the book and watch the material. He does seem to reiterate how highly he thinks of himself... a lot. It's not that bad though. Some of the stories can be funny.

The class isn't terribly hard. Tests are tedious. Final grade is from 4 of 5 proctored tests. Lowest test is dropped. Lectures are mostly personal stories that are also included in questions.

This class was really easy. I didn't watch any of the lectures until the day before the exam & read the book the day of. Cleavenger does talk about himself a lot, but he is by far much more interesting than most professors. I didn't like the Discflex videos we had to watch since the test questions on them were too specific. I got a B in the course.

Dr. C is a teacher like no other. He will make you laugh and jerk some tears even from a mans eyes. He tells stories. He doesn't lecture. Must read Text. Class gives you a deeper understanding of material or life situations that are real. He cares so much for students that desire to learn. His office is the greatest place to hang out.

Textbook is a must. If you want to actually learn, his lectures are filled with stories that are entertaining and that will help understand important concepts. Great Teacher! The people who say his stories are irrelevant didn't get the point.

Favorite prof. ever. You have to read the textbook and go to lectures, but you actually learn from the class. His stories help you learn the concepts, if you say they are irrelevant you obviously did not open the book. Visit his office hours and he will help you if you are lost in the class.

Great, passionate professor. You learn from his stories and remember it better. I enjoyed watching his lectures. He loves his students and will never turn you away from his office. Tests were straight forward although I couln't remember hearing some of his lecture questions, so pay attention! I had 91.5% average on exams and 3% EC gave me an A.

Dean is a nice guy and a moral and principled man. He IS somewhat narcissistic and does tell extended life stories. Be aware: he doesn't directly teach any material from the book at all, only personal stories and anecdotes. The class is essentially applied Behavioral Psychology.

I enjoyed Dr. Cleavenger's class.

Dean is a man with compassion. Promise if you attend/watch his classes it's worth it. He is an outstanding professor, and does not get enough credit for what he gives. Read the book, study discflex, and watch his lectures=A. Hear him out and you will see, he has a great heart for his students. Hands down the best teacher I've ever had at UCF.

I loved Cleavenger's lectures, but you must read his textbook for the tests. Fortunately he is a great writer and teaches the subject through a 'human's behavior approach'. Only textbook I've ever liked reading. Fill out study guides, take notes on disk flex, and you're golden. I only made an 89 in his class because I didn't study for 1 test.

Love his class. He's very down to earth and easy to relate to. He is a great professor.

Dr. Cleavenger is the bomb. His lectures are really interesting (mostly personal stories) and help expand on the material from the book. How to get an A: 1. Read the book (he wrote it- it's awesome) 2. Watch his lectures and take notes on the examples he gives 3. Fill out & study the study guide

I am at a loss for words. Let that be your guide. First statement from professor, "I am an enhancement to your learning experience". Read the Book, read the book, read the book. It is written by the professor-read the book. The GTA writes the test/extra credit questions, this can be confirmed by lack of formulating English grammar properly.

Fantastic class. The lectures are interesting, and it is very apparent that Dr. Cleavenger is passionate about what he does. Be sure to read the book, pay attention in class and study the study guides. I got an A easy.

course is not hard as long as you fill out the study guide and listen to the lectures. If you don't study, it WILL show on your exams. 4 exams, whatever of the four is lowest is replaced by your final exam grade. He does do extra credit, which you should do. Not the bad guy that everyone portrays.

He spends his lectures explaining the material in a relatable way. To pass this class you MUST watch all of the lectures 20% of the tests are based on lecture stories and you have to read the chapter multiple times because the exams ask very specific questions. I got an A in the class and on the final.

Lectures are long & necessary bc he asks 10 things on each exam but theyre not boring! His study guides are an outline of the chapters in the book, which you need! As long as you fill it out & study it, you will do good! Nothing surprises you on the exam, & he drops one so if you do good on the first 4, you dont need to take the final! Take him!

Very passionate teacher who loves what he's teaching. It's not an easy class, but if you like business you'll enjoy this class. There's only four exams and a final, and he drops your lowest grade. Exams are 90% textbook, 10% lecture questions. Lectures are 3 hours long and it does feel like he's rambling at times, but overall it's not a hard class.

If you are a student that needs spoon feeding do not take this class. If you are a student that does not prepare BEFORE class for current chapter dont take this class. Professor makes himself available. Classes are almost 3 hours. His exams are 90% book (he wrote) and 10% lecture. HE is an excellent professor. His rambling parallels the text.

This class isn't hard. It's straightforward. If you read the book (i.e. fill out the study guides in accordance to the book) & watch the lectures, you'll get an A. The lectures are way too long. He rambles. It goes along with what he's teaching, but so little of it is important, but you have to listen because there are exam questions from the lect.

His lectures are long but fun and most of the time you can just watch on 1.5 or 2x speed. Have to read the book but chapters are short! Drops 1 test and it can be the final so thats a plus. learned a lot from the class nd he is good teacher! Never attended a class but wish I had!

If you watchattend the lectures and read the required material, you will have no problem getting a good grade in this class. I totally enjoyed his class.

People complain about the lectures, but I literally only watched a single one the entire semester. I just read the book and got an easy A & WITHOUT even taking the final! Guidelines are clear. Tests are reasonable.

Good class & instructor. A little harder than anticipated to get an A, but study and keep up with reading and you'll be fine. Studycube is a big help too.

Tests are a 10% lecture material 90% book. His lectures are a little personal but if you listen to him instead of complaining about them you might actually learn something. Not an awful class.

Great teacher if you pay attention. His lectures have a lot of stories from his life, but he tries to use them as examples for the theories. I think the class is really interesting. Just read the textbook and you will do good on the exams. There is only exams in this class, and it is pretty easy.

Lectures are online as well... easy and necessary to watch for exam but you can watch on double speed. He tells stories that seem unrelated to material but is his way of helping you remember material. Works for some and not for others. Regardless of if you like his lectures, if you watch them, read the short chapters, you will get an A.

As he will tell you on day one, he's a storyteller. He does not go point-to-point with items intended to be memorized but instead delivers lectures in story form. Read the chapters and attend class (avail online) to do well on the exams. Lessons are valuable and thought provoking, chapters are to-the-point, grading is fair, course is worth it.

He is a great teacher and hilarious, take him up on office hours even if just for fun b.s. conversation. He does tell personal stories but they do relate to the subject of the day. Definitely read and or get study cube. Your entire grade is multiple choice test so if your not a great test taker maybe look into another professor. Overall great guy.

Although the lectures may seem pointless, they are a must for exams! They aren't bad to watch since he makes it fairly interesting! Get the StudyCube, do the flashcards and you're golden! Totally recommend him!

Okay, yes he talks a lot. But he is truly passionate about teaching and that is something that is extremely rare nowadays. He tells real life stories and engages with the students, you almost forget you're watching a lecture. Take a few classes at UCF and you'll really appreciate a professor like him. Buy the studycube and you'll get an A.

Don't bother buying the book. Read the study cube and do the flash cards. If you do that you'll do pretty well on the exams. Make sure to watch the lectures. They are long and some times it is difficult to tell what the point of his stories are but pay attention. He does put questions from his lectures on the exam.

Dr. Cleavenger talks about himself most of the lectures, but he does usually relate it to the material. He wrote the book, so you really need it in order to pass. On the exams, there are about 5 questions strictly on the lecture. I did find a lot of his stories interesting.

Crazy easy class all you need to do is know how to read and watch lectures. However, you still learn quite a few useful things and the attendance policy allows you to get involved in the business school. The only negative is the textbook has a noticeable amount of errors which gets annoying.

Dr. C was and still is my favorite UCF professor, tells it how it is and teaches in a unique way. His tests are difficult, meaning you have to do more that read the study cube, but i loved this class!

I was skeptical about this class at first because he doesn't teach off a powerpoint like in a typical lecture. But his teaching style is so helpful for this type of class! He gives real life examples and actually adds meaning to the material. Such a great speaker, I respect him so much! Go to class with the right attitude and you will learn so much

His class was very entertaining and a relief from all my other classes that teach directly from the book. The book is very straight forward and simple to understand. The exams are also very simple and a lot of the questionsare just definitions. Watch the lectures and read the book and you will get an A. He puts a few lecture questions on the exam.

Honestly, one of my favorite professors in the College of Business. Watch/go to lectures, read the chapters, and take the online quizzes. You are good to go! Love this guy, I would take him again!

His lectures are entertaining!! he tells stories. tests you on the lecture even though its only stories. if you read the book and know the vocab there is no reason you shouldn't get an A on every test. he is not trying to trick you. 10/10 great guy

Before taking this class, I used to see such bad reviews about Professor Cleavenger and I have NO IDEA WHY! He's the definition of an Inspirational Professor. Entertaining lectures/stories, Wants to help you in every way possible, and the exams are mainly based on the concepts! Study those and you should have NO EXCUSE not to get an A. TAKE HIM!!!

Great Professor. Talks a lot, but it's entertaining. Studycube was my best friend for this course.

I really enjoyed taking this management class with Dean. He sure made it interesting and slightly challenging. All self projects were great, as a grad student I enjoyed them and learned from them.

Dr. C is a delight to have as a professor. All the haters above and below are just mad that there are lecture questions on the Exams. Yes there are about 7-13 per Exam but those are basically FREE POINTS if you don't procrastinate the lectures. There are 13 Quizzes (Open Book) more FREE POINTS and 5 Exams. He drops the lowest Quiz and Exam. Easy!

Class is easy as long as you study. Must watch the lectures, about 10 questions from the lecture are on the exam. Must know the vocab for the test. Also I found out that he loves having A as the correct answer, so if you don't know an answer choose A.

I watched his lecture mainly for story and be familiar with the end of the test questions because the last 10 questions on tests are mainly "what he talked about in class." Everything else, use flash cards religiously. tests are straight out of definitions from books. I usually review the notecards 1-2 days before the exam and I still do well.

Dr. Cleavenger is a different type of teacher. He doesn't read from powerpoint slides or the book, instead he tell us stories are that somehow connected to what we are learning. Its kind of refreshing to not have to sit through a boring lecture looking at ppt slides. There are 5 tests, he drops the lowest. 13 easy quizzes. 2 Attendance grade.

Easy class. Exams are just definitions from the book. Last ten questions are from his lectures. He doesn't teach the topic so don't expect to learn.

Test are straight from the book. You must watch lecture to do well on test. The quizzes are timed, and kinda hard, quiz questions often appear on tests. Nice teacher, but a boring class.

LOVED HIM! My all time favorite professor (and Massiah) I would take him again in a heartbeat. His lectures are very interesting and he relates it to the material most of the time, if he doesn't so what? I looked forward to this class as a break from my other tough ones. Just read the material, watch the lectures, and you will do great I promise!!

Ugh Professor Cleavenger is by far the best professor I've had at UCF thus far. This class is honestly SO easy, all you have to do is read the chapters to pass. His lectures are a bit long but if you can pay attention for 30 minutes (in fast forward mode), you might actually learn something useful in life/for the class.

This class was really easy. He gives you study guides for the tests and as long as you study that and read the book, you'll be fine. He has some questions based on what he says in lectures, so watch those. He drops the lowest test grade (including the final) so if you are happy with your grade you can skip the final.

Best professor ive had to date. LOTS of people don't like him, but if you watch his lectures with in intent to LEARN about LIFE and not just management, he is wonderful. A little rude in person.

This professor is amazing. Yes, the lectures are life lessons but they do relate to management at the end of it. He uses very clear real life examples to explain concepts in relation to the subject. I would take his class 100 more times. Just read the chapters and you will get an A on the exams.

Good class overall but a little tougher than some make it seem. Make sure to watch lectures. studycube is a huge help too!

Easy class during the summer. Short readings, no busy work. Grades based on tests, so read, memorize, and see lectures. He talks about his life experiences a lot. But, who cares? That's what management is about; dealing with people (conflicts) in complex, business situations to achieve a goal. Can't complain for a 3000-level course.

Professor Cleavenger gives long lectures and goes off in tangents but all of his stories relate to management in some way. You need to watch his lectures because he will have some test questions on what he said. Other than that, just read his book and take the quizzes and you should be fine. His test are very definition based.

So funny and honest. His lectures are actually very entertaining, and necessary for his exams. Only work is reading the chapter, taking the quiz and watching the lectures. Very easy A.

I think he's a great professor. His lectures are different but they are relevant if you pay attention you just have to learn to connect the dots yourself. I think he's great and tests are relatively easy just go by the book, watch the lectures, and you'll be fine. Gives great advice in work world and personal life.

Prof. Cleavenger wrote the textbook for this course which makes it blend easily with his lectures. During his lectures he relates the material to the professional world as well as life itself. The exams do require you to attend or watch the lecture captures. Of the 50 questions, 12- 15 are from his stories during lectures.

For being such an easy class, you will actually learn quite a bit. Not only will you learn about the course material, but he will also provide some great life lessons. The tests are really easy if you just read and watch the lectures. You don't need any other materials besides the textbook and his lectures. Easy A.

Excellent professor, very inspiring. Must attend lectures. Lecture questions on exams. Take all of the quizzes and review before tests. Most questions on test. Print out his study guide and watch you tube videos for exam reviews. He tells you what to study. Easy A if you put forth effort. Don't sleep in class. He will call you out.

At first, I hated him b/c i didn't want to watch his lectures, but then I started to watch them b/c he lectures on personal stories and tests on them and honestly he's an amazing lecturer and professor.

Cleavenger class was cake. He's a great professor who love telling you stories and how they relate to the words you need to know for his exams. He has a online book read every chapter for every exam and memorize the words and definitions. PAY ATTENITION to all his stories. We all worked together on the GROUPME app sending answers and all use IT.!!

Dr. Cleavenger was BY FAR my favorite professor at UCF. Inspirational, clearly cares for his students future, and flat out hilarious! Easy course, got a B but, could have done better if it were not due to the heavy load in the summer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Dr. Cleavenger was an awkward professor. But he was funny and passionate about teaching his students. He's not the regular professor that reads off of his powerpoint. He talks and talks about stories in his life that are relevant to the chapters in the textbook. He will ask questions about this in the test pay attention. Easy A.

He is amazing. His stories that are on the test aren't boring at all and you can tell hes passionate about what he does. To me he was hilarious and kind of awkward. Overall great class. , find a quizlet for the concepts from the book and you're good.

Professor Cleavenger was my favorite professor/teacher I've ever had. He shares personal stories with you from his passed that are, most of the time, really interesting. Anybody who has something negative to say about Dean Cleavenger just doesn't understand him. Can't believe how low he's rated. If you have the chance to take him, do it!

Very enthusiastic guy, random info from his lectures are on his exams. Tells plenty of stories during lecture.

He's a funny guy. He made lecture interesting with his stories, and you'll want to listen because 5 questions on each exam are on stories he tells about his life. He wrote the textbook so if you read the (short) chapters, watch the lectures, and make flashcards on the quizzes, really study because the questions on the exam are word for word.

this class wasn't bad. Just make sure to keep up with the lectures and chapter readings. Study cube helped a lot too.

this class was actually fun :) if your a transfer student this a perfect transition class to help you get comfortable with being in a university environment. Just read and watch the lectures... This class helped boost my confidence up a lot!! I learned so much!!!

I really enjoy his classes, he is such a nice guy I do recommend you to watch the lectures and pay attention to his examples

Best professor i've had the pleasure of taking! I actually enjoyed watching his lectures, which mainly consisted of him talking about past experiences that overall tied into the concepts we were learning about. Read his textbook for the exam (easy) and pay attention to his "stories" because you are tested on them. Definitely recommend!

I like how genuine he is. He has great stories that keep you interested in the lecture, and the book contains relatively short and to-the-point chapters. He drops your lowest exam grade, and the quizzes are with unlimited attempts. Overall an interesting class with moderate studying required. Remember to watch the lectures before the quiz.

He is a really smart guy and with a huge sence of humor, I got a c+ because I really did not study that frequent, what I can suggest you its whatch the lectures (If that method steel existing by the time you take that class ) and take notes of your book of each concept it will really help you to rewrite it,

Watch the lectures! Theres a few personal questions on each test that can help or hurt your grade. His book is very long but not hard to read. I also used Study Cube mainly because they provide practice exams (he has no exam prep materials). Overall, I liked this class. I wish tests were worth a bit less because they determine your overall grade.

Very interesting lectures, however, the lectures focus on "moral of the story" life experiences that do not cover the book topics. Unfortunately, lectures are mandatory because there are lecture specific questions on the test.

First of all this man is hilarious. The only grades you get are quiz grades (easy A) and exam grades. For the exams he posts videos about specific topics that will be on the exam and you can go through the book and find what he mentioned and make yourself a studyguide. Only down side is that he has 7-10 VERY specific lecture questions on his exams.

Funny guy, content of lectures seem irrelevant but 5 exam questions are from his stories. Watch online and put in double speed and you're fine. Textbook holds all answers so know his "lists" and the little differences between the definitions. Certain ones are tricky because they are so similar so really know the definitions verbatim.

Professor Cleavenger is an amazing professor. In the beginning, I did not like him because I did bad on the first exam but throughout the semester I understood his messages and loved his class. He is hilarious and truly cares about his students. His exams are not difficult at all. You have to read and pay attention to his lectures. Good luck!

the class it self its easy, he is very fun and keep you entertain, But you DO have to study, you have to read the boo and concepts other wise you will not pass the class. the material its easy to learn so its not that much.

OK class overall. You can get an A fairly easy if you study a lot. Make sure to pay attention to his stories... about 20% of the exams come from them. get studycube too.

He's a really great professor. However, he doesn't teach like any other professor. In fact, he just tells stories the whole class which you have to pay attention to because 15-20% of his tests are based on those stories. You have to read all the chapters and then create a quizlet of all the terms b/c his tests are 98% vocab. Put in effort for an A.

Cleavenger is a really nice guy and is understand. Yeah the new reduced seating format sucks, but his class is more about learning and understanding concepts, so its not to bad in this format. Just know and understand the vocab and watch his videos and you'll do good.

Good class. Pay attention to the stories he tells in lectures. Study cube helps a lot too.

You get the grade you deserve in this class. Strict on grading, no leeway. Good guy, kind of a BS class.

Professor Cleavenger is a fair professor that indeed will make you work for it but the material is not complicated. The tests are straight from the study guide and a few questions from his video lectures. He is also quite hilarious and cultivating. The people who critique him are the ones who dont take the extra steps to pass.

He's a super nice professor. I think most people are just frustrated over the course work. But as far as professors go, he's an excellent one. He answers emails, which is something that cant be said for many of UCFs teachers. He is very nice and tries to make class interesting. The class is kind of pointless but I dont feel like thats his fault.

Really nice guy overall. The grading is a little tough but getting an A is possible if you study for the exams. Watch the lectures. Also study the study cube guide and practice exams a few days before taking the exam and you should do well.

Professor Cleavengers class was nothing like I ever had before. As long as you read the book and WATCH THE VIDEOS, youll pass. He likes to talk about anything and can sometimes go off topic but other than that he is a good professor. His class isnt hard but if you procrastinate youll make it hard.

His lectures kind of go off topic at times but he seems to care about students. Just watch some of the videos and get the Study Cube guides you'll get a good grade.

Dr. C is a cool guy that really cares about his students. His teaching style is not the best as he rambles a lot and its hard to understand the point of some his lecture videos sometimes. You have to read the book and teach yourself, the material is mostly vocab so its not bad. Overall minimal effort will get you a B.

Dean changed the way the class is set up so this review is for Summer 2019. Our tests were pretty much vocab and the video questions were extra credit. The vocab questions was too easy cause it was word for word while his video questions was just bs. I wouldnt even watch it if I was you cause 2 hours of videos for 4 extra credit question.

This is the easiest primary core I've taken so far. If you're bad at memorization, then this might be a hard class. Videos are extra credit now. Cover all of the study guide using the textbook.

This class was honestly very easy. The main thing that I would highlight is reading the textbook and taking notes, watching his lecture videos, and attending class. His tests are straight from the book, vocabulary heavy (which is pretty straight to the point), and his lecture videos. I took him Spring 2018 and I heard much hasn't changed. Nice guy!

He makes YouTube videos and does live streams for study groups.
