He is awesome. he is very creative, not like other teachers that always do the same thing.
No Comments
a good guy, he'll help u with extra credit and maybe some make-ups for low scored-tests. he is monotonous sometimes, other he's quite interesting to listen to
He's a great professor and self-explanatory, very creative.
he is great!!
great professor. unlike any teacher, he is honest, caring and creative. easy class to pass if you do the work. he'll help you if you need it but don't try and take advantage of him. love him!
he makes you meditate in his class all semester for about 10 Minutes everyday at first its interesting but then you get a little tired of it. he is funny, likes to curse in class every now and then and will let you make up work. he is good to his students. he is a psychologist, what do you expect. y
This guy is great...He taught us how to meditate and we would do it everyday before class would start. Our final was to learn how to Juggle 3 ball or u can write a paper ( U have two options) I recommend hes a all around nice person
Very good teacher!
He is a god teacher. Tests are hard but if you do the review then you should do alright. Make sure you attend his classes cause attendance is the only extra credit you will get.
Awesome Teacher... He isa 20 out 10. Wish all instructors loved their jobs as much as he does.
Slack class. DO all your assignments and your set.
brillant man. excellent teacher. easy class. take him!
He is excellent. He teaches in a manner that ANYONE can understand him. Very human compared to other teachers who have a stiffer sense of teaching. His class is easy because of the way he teaches and how the material makes sense. Hightly recommend him to everybody.
His class was great!! I admit it, I got a C, but Im the only one accountable for it! All you gotta do is study the reviews before each test. At the eand of the class we had a choice of either writing a big ass paper or juggling,Not only was I the first one to juggle, I also got like 5 Xtra credit points for helping peeps to juggle also!! FUN CLASS
Professor Brucato has to be my favorite College teacher so far. He not only teaches you something new and USEFUL everyday, but he makes everything interesting, funny, and he curses like a sailor. You'll look forward to going to his classes.
GREAT MAN DOWN TO EARTH STRAIGHT FORWARD JUST LEARN TO JUGGLE AND YOUR SET.
I never thought I could see problems from a different perspective until i got in this class. My paradigm completely changed. Thanks professor for making a difference in my life.
Awesome teacher. He made the class very understanble and fun. Wish all teachers taught using his methods.
Always the class I look forward to most, there should be more teachers following his example
He makes the class interesting. He's very enjoyable.
Without any doubt, the best teacher or at least within the best two teachers I ever had at Miami Dade. His knowledge of the subject surpassed any and every expectation I had. His class was very interesting and different. His approach/method was very unique and well put together. Another one of the few teachers who I will give four thumbs up.
i did not like this class is because of the stupid juggling get the hell out there yes i fail because of that stupid test do not get me wrong he is crazy and down to earth.
I LOVED THIS CLASS...HE WAS VERY WELL EDUCATED AND I LEARNED A LOT THAT I STILL APPLY TODAY. HE IS A PROFESSOR YOU WILL LOOK BACK ON AND BE GLAD YOU TOOK HIM.
Awesome teacher!!! My all time FAVORITE CLASS!!!!! He made the class fun as hell!! Take Human Sexuality even if you don't need it. It's very interesting & you'll learn alot. You won't regret it! Take notes and pay attention and you should pass... no problem!!!
Amazing class! Amazing teacher! If you fail his classes you must have reeeeaaally not been trying coz they're so easy!!
He knows the material well. His tests are can be hard at first. But, he is VERY helpful!!!!!
Great teacher! Has no problem speaking the truth about ANYTHING. The class was super easy....just listen to lectures and once u get ur test reviews, thats all u need to get an A on your tests.
great professor, he really knows what he is talking about... he's a really sweet guy and is always talking about his daughters and wife which shows he's a caring guy... the guys great, i highly recomond his class to anyone!!!
wow! this teacher is awesome!. i highly recommend him.his class is fun, you will never sleep in that class..you will learn how to juggle! lolz. the class itself is super effective for you real daily life. i loved this class.
awsome teacher very intresting to listen so called hardest part learn how to juggle took me a day highly recommend this teacher
The class is super interesting. If you are a psychology major you need to take this class. He is a great professor.
Really funny teacher and enthusiastic all the way throughout the course, i love him, the way he teaches is so capturing as everything ties with everyday situations, he says bad words to make you laugh and i love that about him, there is 4 tests, and two papers and the final exam is juggling...I reccommend this class for those psychology LOVERS, #1
All i have to say is that he is the BEST!!!!! and that without thinking it twice you should take him =)
Awesome guy and professor. E-mails his notes and study guides to every student. Use the study guides and if you don't get an A something is wrong with you. He tells you that this is his boring class but just get through it and then take his CLP class. The one paper you have to write is easily graded, if you take this class choose him!
This guy is the worst teacher i have ever had, hes very selfish and rude to the students, and if u ask him a question he'll give u a really sarcastic answere so dont waste ur time with him
if class starts @ 9, 901 ur late. you will meditate every class, eventually learn how to juggle, and do some service learing, its not a bad class just extreamly boring. pretty easy class if your intrested in all the b.s he talks.
this class is alright as long as you read the book and review the notes. you do have to juggle but just like any other class it just takes time to put into. i did not like the service learnin due to it just takin up too much time. you do have to meditate but just think of it as a 5 min nap. the lectures are pretty boring and will put you to sleep..
very good teacher very clear kinda funny and makes the class more interesting. always lets u make up tests. i never wanted to miss class. u learn a lot in his class. hes reasonable n gets that we r in college not high school. if ur gonna take psy take it w/ him.
very cool teacher. Teaches you how to juggle. Have to go through 10 hours of service learning though. :( Other than that great guy, great class.
Easy, self explanatory material. Tests are DIRECTLY from the study guide he gives you. Class is basically having a long conversation. You have to learn how to juggle. Cool guy, VERY easy A.
Oh man if you like psychology not the teacher he is soo boring but i must say i learned alot in his class but still his test are so hard and gives u a test of like 5 long chapters every other week its horrible!!! but hes a laid back guy though very nice btut rude at times!
awesome class! juggling is like life, so learning it helps with your everyday stuff. the class is explained in the textbook so any questions will be answered by it. the movie is great too! don't miss it! 100% recommended teacher and class!
PROF BRUCATO IS NICE. HE IS CLEAR WHEN TEACHING. ALTHOUGH, IF YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE THIS CLASS MAKE SURE YOU ARE ALWAYS ON TIME AND NEVER MISS A DAY, OR YOUR GRADE WILL DROP. TAKE HIM IF YOU REALLY WANT TO LEARN.
He's a hard teacher. Unless you read the book you won't pass the tests. If you have questions on a test you need to see him in his office not during class time, and he does not review with you the day before the test...it's your responsibility. I don't recommend him at all.
This teacher has many flaws. His review for the tests are not explained clearly, he makes it magnatory to due community time in an old persons retirement home, makes you have to juggle 3 balls in front of class. He had to be my worst professor ever. He is arrogant & believes he is better than the student and that he knows everything. Avoid if u can
His reviews are very confusse. DON'T TAKE HIM. AND HE SPEAKS TO SOFT. I COULD NOT HEAR HIM AT ALL. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GO AWAY!
Fairly easy. Yes tests can be hard and also confusing reviews but the overall message out of the class is worth it. Even if you get C or D's on the tests you can still pass with a B or A by just doing all the other work. Where else will you find a teahcer that wil grade you on juggling?!
Great teacher! Very informative and patient. Easy to undestand and VERY clear with his lessons. Tests are not too hard, and he answers all questions asked of him. Great personality too! I highly recommend him if you like learning.
Interesting professor, he was my professor for two semesters. He knows, very experienced in the area of psychology. I recommend you take him.
AMAZING PROFESSOR!!!! I learned a lot interesting class does not waist your time study and you will ace those tests he's not out to get you!!!!
This teacher is amazing! I learned sooo many things easy A! He makes the class extremly interesting! The test are the same exact questions that are on the review. Just learn how to juggle 3 balls and u will be good to go. I HIGHLY recommend this professor
Very arrogant and is against religion and republicans, opinionated. Easy going and funny but if you do not agree with him he looks down at you. Only take him if you are a bleediung heart liberal.
this guy is a pretty good teacher very funny and always smiling but must do service learning which i learned the hard way by getting a D
He is very helpful, lectures a lot but his lectures aren't boring. He keeps you interested. The book I recommend to buy it new because you get the CD with the powerpoints and practice tests. If you read the powerpoints, do his study guides, and do the practice test online, you'll ACE the class. You need to do your work to pass the class.
Excellent teacher...truly believes in what he represents (no smoky mirrors). very clear & fair with grading process. read the assigned chapters and there is no way you won't pass the class (bonus: learn how to juggle). Love him!!!
This class is hard but if u stick to his study guides u'll do just fine. his study guides are exactly the same to the test. and if u show up in class everyday he will give + 25 extracredit points which helps ALOT. And he makes his lectures a little bit funny
if you want to get an A be prepared to read all the chapters & all the review questions. coming to class is 25 points EXTRA credit.
I took this class independent studies and regret it. You do the work on your own and he just puts a check mark on it, he doesnt even check to see if Im right. I studied wrong w/o knowing it. got straight C's. Professor is VERY SWEET AND NICE. just dont do independent studies.
My major is psychology and this man is my hero. take him!
He is awesome. Really knows what he's talking about and he makes class super interesting. Juggling, Meditation, awesome class discussion, TAKE HIM you wont go wrong.
He is an awesome professor !! just learn how to juggle 3 balls!! The juggling is worth 50 pts. He is very funny and up front about what he does and says.
The class is interesting and some of the stuff is helpful, but I found it to be a huge waste of time. The helpful things that you learn can be taught in a few days. The "lectures" were ridiculous, I basically sat and listened to group of the dumbest people I've ever met try and hold conversations with the professor.
This class is slack, except its based on a POINT SYSTEM. this means that at the end of the semester to make a B you must have 320 pts and if u end up with 318, he says..."Sorry but you earned those 318" i was two freaking points away, it destroyed my GPA. This system leaves u a couple points away from the next grade up and it kills u.
He's cool. He sends you a test review for each test through e-mail & if you don't miss any days he gives you 25 extra credit points. He's always willing to speak with you in his office & he responds fast to e-mails. I passed almost every test wtih a 'C" & still managed to pass the course with a "B". I recomend him. Oh, just don't talk when he talks
He was alright, just to give a tip, for his CLP classs you have to juggle and it does affect your grade. But if you like to listen and read a lot then take hi sclass otherwise dont not an easy professor.
Great professor
The class is really fun, you learn meditation and juggling!! and yes you have to juggle. is fun though. The test are easy if you read the chapters. the book is very easy to understand. overall great class and it will truly benefit you.! oh and you do service learning too.
I took this guy for Psychology, and he's REALLY great. He's like this really cool, border-line nerdy dude. He makes the class SO interesting. He'll answer any questions you have. His tests are basically a carbon copy of the study guides. I'm also taking him for Human Growth and Development, independent studies, too. I def. recommend him. :)
Great Professor, loved the class. You have to read the book which he also helped write, but it's really worth it.
Professor Brucato is an excellent proffesor, his class is not that hard and you actually learn a lot. His test are the same as his study guides, so if you review prior to them you'll pass with a good grade. I would definetley take him again if I have to. I strongly recomend him if you want to learn Psychology.
All his notes are through powerpoint slides. He prints them out for you but its so small you need a seperate sheet in order to have notes of your own. His tests are like a psychology evaluation in itself...i DON'T recommend you go to this professor...AT ALL
Brucato is a great professor. He is passionate and knows alot about what he teaches, he makes the class very interesting. If you read the book and study the review for the tests, you'll do great and you'll learn alot. Take him!
He makes the class interesting, he's very helpful. If you read the book and his notes, you will for sure get an A. Take him, he's wodnerful
He is an excellent professor had him more than once
Awesome professor, if you read the chapters and do the study guide you will get a B for sure.if you want an A you have to learn to juggle, at least do one circle(or w.e it's called. he is very funny and makes the class really interesting. i learned a lot, and meditating helps you relax. if you're into psychology def take this class. you'll love it.
Love him! he was a great professor, very clear, good examples, test were exactly the review, pay attention to the lectures and you'll get an A. attendance is worth points, I would recommend him to anyone!
His class isnt easy, you need to read a chapter of about 40 pages a week, and take a quiz every week, plus response essays on top of that, and community service, and chapter test. His class is alot of work, but you do enjoy been in there. He is defintely not an "easy A" but i got an A but I read the entire book with about 400 pages!
Brucato is the worst psy prof. I ever had. This is the 1st class I had to drop. He is so boring cause all he does is read of the powerpoints. He gives multiple choice exams which are kind of tricky. He does not really give extra credit. You have to attend every class to understand the material. I recommend prof. Mignone!
he's a great teacher. took him for 2 courses
it is not false that students must study hard to pass the class, but with no doubt it worth it. the material and professor's explanations and examples help students to recognize the importance of be a effective person.
He really is a great professor! All you have to do is pay attention in class, do your assignments, study for the tests, do the study guides, do the service learning, and juggle. You'll do just fine! :)
virtual college. you need the book for the online course!! all you do is study about 4-6 chapters for each test and come in to take the test. there are about 4 test and the final is optional. extra credit points if you type/print out study guide. easy as long as you study the chapters! def. recommend
BEST TEACHER EVER!!!
I do not like him at all, he is bored, and so does his class, specially for the service learning, that it's a total waste of time.
If you dont study, Your going to fail. Do the reviews, test are somewhat like the reviews.
Great professor!! relly thought me things I can use out of the classroom, you should really consider taking his class you wont regret it, by the way you do have to study and pay attention if you don't you will fail no doubt.
Amazing teacher and he's funny.I did have to repeat his class due to attendance issues. YOU MUST STUDY! He will help is always has his office open. He attempts to be funny and sometimes doesn't do a great job but he knows what he's teaching and give you all the chances he can. Juggling is a must but its not impossible! Brucato was a great teacher!
complete assignments and the rest is elementary
His class is easy and fun. He knows his stuff and has excellent techniques for teaching. PhD in Psychology, and has years of experience in the field. Open policy for office hours, and great aid. But you do have to cover the material from the book, and review for the tests which are not hard at all. Study & you'll be fine. CHOOSE HIM FOR PSY 2012 !
Great prof, does require you to read everyday in order to do well on the quizzes but topics are all pretty much common sense. Very helpful, funny too. Makes the topic interesting. All in all highly recommended, only class I looked forward to during the day. (:
Excellent professor, very helpful. He give his all and the expect same from you. I recommend him with my eyes closed.
Easy.
Great class, I learned so much! He sticks to the information from the book but there is a tremendous amount of information to cover. I definitely recommend.
Look the guy isn't awful but if you've taken any high school psych class you'll be learning the same things. Maybe it was just cause the material wasn't new to me but he was reaally boring. If you want an easy class take him, if you want an interesting class, stay away.
He's a really awesome professor, you just gotta make sure you read the book, and learn how to juggle lol
Really enjoyed his class. I learned a lot and his lectures were very interesting. Study and you will pass. Easy class.
Hes super nice and easy to talk to if you need help. I only got a C because i never studied in my life and you have to for this class. TAKE THIS CLASS i recomend it
Be prepared to study. I make A's and B's in class but I struggled in this class. I barely made a C. His tests were extremely hard but it helps to study on the online website. He is extremely funny and makes class interesting. His language is very colorful at times so don't be surprised. Great guy, hard tests.
I had him for intro to psych my second semester last year. Excellent teacher! Explains everything very clearly. He's pretty strict on attendance, and you have to let him know ahead of time if you'll be leaving class early. Other than that, he's a laid back guy. Take him!
Professor Brucato is a very knowledgable person. I found his class interesting though other disagree. You will need to read the whole book in order to pass the class. If you study the material you should be fine. He is funny and you will have to learn to juggle, curses alot too. Got an A in his class and learned very interesting things. Recomended!
Okay, this class will be very easy to you if you read the book a couple times a week. Do not come to the tests with questions still lingering around. He's a straight man, most people like him. very passionate about psychology. you will learn lots, just studyy!! oh & online practice realllly helps. Passed with an A :)
Great teacher, makes the class much more tolerable. You MUST read the book or you will not pass the tests, it's very easy to understand and has logical concepts and the subject is interesting. You have to learn how to juggle and I loved it, made it easy to make new friends. All in all the class is not difficult.
If you do not attend his classes, read the text book AT LEAST three times, and study the vocabulary, you won't pass the tests. He does not give quizs or assignments, just tests. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT. It will help you.
He's a good teacher. But you HAVE to read in order to pass the quiz and tests. They're really easy if you read. And btw he's serious about the juggling .. i got a C which is why i ended with a B. Its not hard I just got lazy. Go on youtube and PRACTICE ! good luck :)
Dr. Brucato is an amazing professor, with great insight and love for his job. He encourages self discipline, as he makes you take a quiz in the beginning of class and it's your responsibility to study and know the material. It is a very fun class. He is a great teacher, i would recommend him, and take him for any other psychology courses he offers
Excellent professor. I would pick him for any future classes. The class is fun. Just read the material and you'll be fine.
Only take the class if you really need to, this professor is extremely boring bc he only reads the power points. If you read the book and memorize everything you'll be completely fine.
HE IS A GREAT PROFESSOR!!! He makes his lectures fun and interesting. If you show up, pay attention, and do his reviews, you'll pass his class for sure. It wasn't that easy but I loved loved loved this class. We need more professors like him!!
He is great. Attendance is mandatory, and so is the book. You must read the chapters in order to pass the test. Requires a lot of studying but overall hes fair. I highly recommend if you want to learn.
A very positive person, always smiling. You need the textbook and the time to read each chapter and do the review which is on the book. He makes you do a juggling test, but it's fairly easy to get a C on it, It's an interesting class and I have learned things that have help me in my personal life. I got an A, so I'm satisfied, I recommend.
THE TEXTBOOK WILL HELP YOU. I didn't rent it and I struggled. Without the book, it's 10x more studying and 10x more note taking. I passed with a good grade because I worked my butt off. His class is easy if you have the book and you take good notes. He makes good use of class time. He has a great personaility and is always smiling! :)
In my opinion the class was easy. All I needed to get the A was the Book (google doesn't help!) and do his study guides. I got an A in all 6 tests because I used his study tips! Attendance is extra credit. Overall great professor and very enthusiastic, I enjoyed attending his class!
Wonderful professor! He loves what he teaches. Great class. He requires attendance, punctuality, respect. Study the chapters, you will do great. Learning to juggle with three balls is required by end of course. Ten hours of service is required. The course material is great, teaches true effectiveness for our every day lives.

He is a wonderful Prof, He is laid back, but still is hard on you because he wants you to pass, there is studying involved but he sends the study guide and the powerpoints through email, BOOK IS NEEDED, there are answers to the study guide in the book and in the powerpoints but mostly the book All around amazing prof class was never boring
Dr. Brucatto clearly cares for the subject matter and the students. The course is an amazing blend of teaching the concepts and practical application. I did not agree with certain things that were discussed in class, but still found it intriguing. He was co-author for the book we used, so he gave good clarification of the book.
I took his class for Intro to Psy. Awesome professor. Funny. You get into every discussion. The Textbook is NEEDED. Dont wait. And the KEY to success is his study guides. Study guides. Do them. And dont miss any classes. If you dont miss any youll get an additional 30 points i believe it is at the end toward your final grade. Would recommend.
He is such an interesting professor! He talks a lot but tells funny stories and curses a lot lol. He makes class interesting but you HAVE to study for the tests. If you do the study guide you shouldn't have a problem because they're always there. This isn't the easiest A, but you will definitely learn and he's always there to help. Take for psych!
Just took summer A class with prof and he was AWESOME. Very clear with the material, made it relatable and interesting with his sense of humor. I would choose this professor again in a second. As everyone mentions - if you do reviews and go to class you will ace the class. Gives extra credit for perfect attendance.
amazing guy, always smiling and you can tell that he is passionate about the study of psychology.
Dr. Brucato is THE man. The passion he has for psychology radiates and it's quite contagious. Perf attendance? 25 extra credit points. Tests? Do review and you'll pass. I look forward to every day I have him because everything that comes out of his mouth is gold! He's really sweet too.
He is so straight forward and real. He doesn't beat around the bush but he isn't rude. He was very considerate when I had to miss class for family emergencies and he really cares about his students.
his lectures are fun and really get the material across. he speaks from personal experience and loves when people engage in conversation with him. he grades on an average of 6 tests. he sends out the review for the chapters and as long as you do them this class is easily passed with an A.
If I could take this class again, I would. I actually looked forward to hearing his lectures and experience in the field. He wants you to pass, he tells you what to study and know for each test (do the reviews!) and read the chapter. It really is interesting and he makes it fun! He keeps it real, always honest and ready to help anyone who seeks it!
Professor Brucato is a great professor. He is always smiling and is really smart about his lectures. you must do the reviews if you wanna pass otherwise don't bother wasting your time.
super hard class, I took him for the 8am class and his voice made me fall asleep even more! His tests are super hard you have to teach yourself, you have to read the whole freaking book, take notes, listen to his powerpoints. I did all & still could not pass his tests. I took 3 tests out of 6 and failed them all so I just withdrew his class!
If you have the chance to choose this professor, then do it ASAP! He is a really nice and hilarious dude. His teaching is super easy to follow and understand. He has many great stories, loves to curse, and knows a lot about anything you throw at him. Would love to take this class again and again, he's amazingly entertaining.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER. If you need to take the class, TAKE IT WITH HIM. 25 extra credit points just for attendance. All you need to get an A in the class is; do the study guides and study from them.
Best professor to take for psy2012. Lectures are super straight forward and it is very easy to pass his class unless you don't study. You need to do the reviews on the book in order to pass (6 tests total) & he gives extra credit for attendance. If you fail its because you don't care.
1010 one great professor. Come to class and read and you will get an A.
Excellent professor. I WILL learn a lot but only if you actually sit down and study the chapters everyday and do the study guide. The tests are tough about 50 multiple questions on a scantron, so prepare yourself for the big exams. no final. Just like 9 or 8 Exams that REALLY make up your final grade in class. Attendance also helps your grade!
Dr. Brucato is an understanding professor who will give you any help that you may need to pass his class. In return, he asks that you pay attention and try to be involved in class discussions. He posts a review before each test. Do this review and you will pass pretty soundly. I would definitely take him again, he was just so awesome!
Great professor. Go to class, read the reviews and you'll be fine. He will actually make class interesting
Brucato is a tough professor hes always smiling, a cool professor. Get ready to take about 10 tests and they are all really hard. Like I study and still fail some of them also his voice makes me fall asleep and his lectures are not on point he teaches you how to breathe and juggle when that's not important and you have to teach yourself.
This guy is a game changing professor, who gives you something much more valuable than any amount of money you will ever earn with the degree you get. If you listen, and try living what he teaches, amazing things will happen.
He's super sweet and funny. He'll send a review for you to complete before every test to study, if you do it properly you'll be more than fine. The only extra credit you can win will be for perfect attendance, so it's worth it.
Super sweet and passionate professor i love attending his class you learn a lot. If you take notes and do the study guide it should be an easy A.
At the beginning of the semester I was happy to have this professor, but now I'm not cuz he is so slow, he doesn't teach anything in his classes. I'm very disappointed. His study guides are all messy, and what's on them is not what's is on the tests. So you have to read a lot, I'm an A student and I'm getting a B in his course.
Absolutely loved this class/professor! He cares about his students, he encourages participation and his lectures are interesting. You MUST read to pass the quizzes and tests but they aren't hard. He gives extra credit (community service) and he makes you juggle at the end of the semester (easy to learn as long as you practice.)
Hardest class ever. Gives study guides but don't really have anything to do with the tests. Attendance is mandatory and if you don't go to class you lose 25 points at the end of the semester towards your final grade. Studied hard and got a C in the class.
Professor Brucato was AMAZING. Psychology never really interested me but he explains it with such clarity. He talks to his students as if he was a peer. Class is easy and tests are easy as long as you do the study guides. The test is basically the study guide (there are 5 in total). Love him!!!!
His lectures were interesting and filled with anecdotes from his life. Always had a smile on his face and was extremely knowledgeable about the material (he was a shrink for over 30 years!). Test are extremely easy if you do the study guides, which he sends two weeks before the exam. I loved this class and Im not even a Psych major. TAKE HIM!!
I don't understand how some are saying the tests are hard. If you felt this way, you DID NOT do the study guides, or maybe you just learned a bunch of definitions and expected to know the material. You def need to understand the material rather than just learning definitions, but his very interesting lectures helped tremendously. Take him!!
So knowledgeable and positive. He arrives with a smile every class. You do have to read and if you want an A , do the study guides, there's about 5-6 tests in the semester. Would take his class again in a heartbeat, he's an amazing lecturer and is available for anything you need. I aced his class with some work but it was 100% worth it.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE READING DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. The study guide only helps out a little but if you don't read that book and do the study guides you won't pass. He also gives you 30 extra points for attendance, only reason I passed with a B. He is nice and very understanding but too much time has to be put in this class that I don't really have.
Do the reviews and you'll be fine. His classes won't explicitly give you all you need to know for the tests. But beware, I couldn't find some questions of the reviews in the book and I had to Google them. All in all, he's very smart.
I liked him very much, he is very kind and funny and aside from that very smart. you do his reviews and study them about 3 days before the test and you will be fine, Attendance is extra credit so its a must if your not a good test taker. I used QUIZLET for all my studying needs and i passed his class with a B. Take him if you want a joyful class.
Professor Brucato is a great teacher. He explains all the lessons and will answer any questions you have. The class is not easy because you must read the chapters and complete the study guides if you want to pass the tests.
Honestly, finished the class with a D because I did not read. I answered the questions at the end of the chapters and that did not help. Be prepared to read because he will not teach you at all.
I don't understand why none would like this professor. Regardless that I pass the class with a C, honestly, his class system is perfect. He makes the class interesting and funny, I mean, he's not a boring professor. The study guide for the test is design with questions that if you answer them all you'll pass, so you learn at the same time.
Do not take this professor .........U would Study and Study and you would not still pass his class.
All you have to do is read the chapters and do the study guides.
Overall, Brucato is a wonderful human being. The world could use more people like him. He offers unique perspectives that have you think. Cons: Many quizzes (14) and tests (4); easy to get him off-topic; no real lectures. Pros: You barely do anything in-class; quizzes and tests are easy; you learn how to meditate. Recommended: Read the textbook.
Overall, he is a great human being and gives amazing lectures. His test are not based on the lectures however. You must read on you own or you will fail the tests! Prepare for loads of reading and studying with great real-life based lectures.
He's very nice and the course was very enjoyable for me. Just make sure to read the chapters for the tests rather than just using the study guide because not everything on the test is on the study guide. Make sure to go to class because he gives you extra points for attendance.
Great professor and guy, would highly recommend to take him. Always read the book and do the study guides! You are guaranteed to pass if you do just that, and get extra credit for showing up.
I am currently taking Professor Bruacto for psy and am enjoying it! He is a kind person and makes his lectures funny and entertaining. If you want to pass the tests, just read the review he gives you for the tests and find the information in the textbook. You WILL pass by doing this.
Professor Brucato is a great professor! He gives you reviews for each test and clearly explains the information in each chapter and tells you what to remember for the test. His tests are easy if you attend class, take some notes, and DO THE REVIEW! And no final! I would definitely take him again.
Brucato is genuinely a great person. Hes so sweet and cares for you and your grade. Hes also very smart in subjects he teaches. His classes are mostly discussions about stuff from the book and how it relates to our life. Quizzes every other class but you must read book prior to quiz because he doesnt go over the chapter until after the quiz.
He's not a BAD teacher. he knows what he's talking about BUT, he's not exactly the best at speaking his mind out without coming off a little harsh and rude. you could have an A and still fail just for your attendance. Test EVERY class. if you like venting about your life, this is the teacher for you cause all he talks about is everyones life.
Professor Brucato is amazing, he is an expert in his field and it shows in his lectures. There are a lot of tests, but if you go to class, pay attention and participate hell make sure youll pass. He also offered a huge amount of extra credit for perfect attendance, and he really cares about his students its a hard class but youll have fun
Test are easy just read the book.
I loved this professor! His lectures definitely make you think in a new perspective. Make sure you read the chapters, though. If you read you will definitely pass. Also, for the juggling final make It a point to practice and show interest and participate regularly. Hes only difficult if you dont read Or pay attention when hes lecturing
He is an amazing professor, very funny and nice to his students, his lessons are long but he gives a review before every tests that contains everything you need, you find the answers in the book or in your notes from class, only five easy tests through the course and thats it, also he is hilarious.
He is very funny and makes learning fun as well . But if u dont read Im telling you rn YOU WILL FAIL.......
He talks a lot but nothing relevant to the actual course.... you have to read and the scoring is very strict.
Weekly Quizzes and you have to learn to juggle. Other than that he is a kind professor who wants the best for his students, is open to discussion and opinions. Would 100% take class again
This professor sucks. The course is easy. You just have to scan the book and do the review and you'll ace quizzes and tests. This professor rambles about random BS in class like Trump and global warming. He never speaks of anything relevant to the course. The class is a joke but just take PSY 2012 with a good professor. You'll actually learn.
He lectures A LOT & his lectures are not based on what will be on the test. You need to read and study on your own or you will not pass. Theres a test every two weeks. 50 questions and they are based on information you should be reading from the book. If you are looking for an easy class this aint it my friends :/
semi easy class, as long as you review the study guide he sends out you will do fine because everything on the study guide is exactly what will be on the test! also attendance is mandatory he gives an extra credit for those who show up everyday. highly recommend this professor he is very good as what he does and very kind
BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD! Really down to earth and honest. He opens up new perspectives you should take on in life. His class is more of a conversation than it is a lecture. There's a quiz almost every other class but they're super easy but you HAVE to read. The topics you read about are interesting so it isn't really a hassle.
5 tests, each worth the same amount of points. You have about 2-3 weeks in between each tests (depends on how many chapters are in a test) to complete the study guide and finish reading the chapters. The class is very simple psych material all you need is good time management!
I took CLP1006, and overall the professor has a true passion for psychology so because of that he makes the lectures interesting. be reware that you'll be taking 13 quizzes and 4 test, but as long as you are prepared and read the chapter you'll pass.
Okay so this class was the same time consuming as my chm class have to read over 400 pages of his book + going to class is a must for grades but he doesnt teach at all no lecture & doesnt go over anything for the quizzes or exam till after rather be a home then listen to this guy i Dont recommend him if i wanted that i would of chose online!!
Great professor. Gives great lectures, and will go in-depth with the chapters. If you study the test reviews, you will definitely pass. Don't miss class and you get graded for that. No Homework.
