Very good teacher!!If you make anything below an A, I would be VERY surprised. He knows his stuff(He's the author of the text). Pick him for Intro to Psych!!!!

I agree Hockenbury is a great teacher, but his test can be a little difficult. He does allow test notes ( cheat sheet ) but you have to apply yourself. He is very fair and I would recommend him to anyone.

A great teacher! Definetly worth taking you will learn alot and if you apply yourself will make an A!

Mr. Hockenbury is a master at this course, BUT watch out...sometimes I caught him analyzing the class. Furthermore, I did not agree with certain sections of his/wife's book based upon my personal experiences. LONG exams...

Great Class, Great Teacher, Co-Authored Book with Wife. Great Book! Recommended!

Mr. Hockenbury is the best instructor I have had so far. He explains everything very clearly, and even makes the class interesting. You should be able to earn an A, emphasizing the word earn! He sets you up for success, however expects a lot from you.

You've got to read the chapters at least 2X and I suggest doing the online activities. Be prepared for long tests, but the online quiz, crossword, and flashcards are very helpful to prepare for the tests. EXTENSIVE READING!!!

He is an awesome teacher-the class is hard but very interesting.

Excellent teacher. Reading is a must. My reading skills are lacking and I got a B in the class. If you put a little effort into the class expect an A. I really really enjoyed his class.

Excellent teacher, does require quite a bit of work though.

Wonderful instructor.Class time requires much reading and test are long, but you use notes and as long as you read the material you'll do fine.He explains everything and has no hidden agenda.Very fair and likeable.Seems willing to go the extra mile for students to succeed.I would choose him again.

Pretty good teacher if you can get past the spit ball on his bottom lip!

You've got to read the chapters at least 2X and I suggest doing the online activities. Be prepared for long tests, but the online quiz, crossword, and flashcards are very helpful to prepare for the tests. EXTENSIVE READING!!!

I took Prof. Hockenbury's class about a year ago. I'm now at OU and have realized how good of a professor he is. All of you crybabies whining about the reading and how hard he is...grow up. He's an awesome professor who explains completely what each student needs to do in order to get a good grade. HE LETS YOU USE A PAGE OF NOTES ON THE EXAM!!!

He is extremely energetic and motivating. Very effective - & receptive to student feadback. By far one of the best Instructors I have had.

I thought he REALLY wanted his students to learn about psychology. He knows the topic - he WROTE the text. Letting us use a page of test notes on tests helped. I printed out the learning objectives for chapters, took the practice tests, and that helped. He treated the class with respect, unlike some other teachers. I thought he was great.

Fair grading. Clarity in syllabus. Used electronic blackboard well. Practice tests, text website. Author of textbook. Responded to emailed questions quickly.

This is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is funny, very informative, and his background more than qualifies him for the job. His tests are easy, especially considering the fact that you get to use a page of notes on the test(learn to write small!). He is a great teacher.

I took his class online and he was so helpful, but sometimes it was very difficult. If you want to pass his test you have to read the chapters assigned and pretty much know them word for word. If you like to spend alot of time reading and trying to figure things out then take him, but if you despise reading DONT TAKE HIM!

This class was very fun and Mr. Hockenbury is kind and helpful to every student. He gives you every possible opportunity to succeed. You cannot fail this class unless you do absolutely nothing.

He is really good. Will help you the best he can!

Mr. H is a great instructor. If u do not like to read do not take his class becuase you will be required to read the everything in every chapter he assigns! This is an easy class if you read! You will have to study for the tests!

I took the online course and got a c only because it was my first online course and had issues with submitting assignments. If you read the text and do the assigned work it is a very easy and interesting class.

I had a wonderful experience and found my professor eager help and very fair.

Mr. Hockenbury is awesome! I took the 4 week online class, and it was hard, as I expected. However, he was so helpful. He went above and beyond to help me. You can really tell that he absolutely loves what he does. I definitely recommend taking him.

I took Mr. Hockenbury's online 4-week intersession class. Mr. and Mrs. Hockenbury wrote the book they used for the class. They were very helpful. They let you know exactly when assignments are going to be due, and they get all the grades posted when they said they would. As long as you do the readings and get the assignments done, you'll do fine.

I took a 4 week online class from Mr. Hockenbury. He clearly communicated everything that is expected in the class.

One word: amazing!

If you show up and read and study what he tells you to it is an easy a

The Hockenbury's as a teaching team are an AWESOME duo! The have vast knowledge and experience in psycology. They wrote the book! Literally!

Took the 8 wk class online and it was much harder than I expected. They are very clear on expectations and deadlines, but that didn't make it any easier. The tests are hard because the questions are so specific and there is alot of material to cover plus you have to watch and test over boring videos. Do the homework it will help your grade.

Prof. Hockenbury's online PSY class is probably the most interesting TCC class I've taken in my 2 years there. The videos are great! Watch them all because you'll be quizzed! He allows a page of notes during the exams, which is very helpful!

Mr Hockenbury is an INCREDIBLE teacher!! He does SO many things to help you pass his class. I LOVED this class and am so sad he doesn't teach the rest of the psych classes I need... Anyone who doesn't pass his class isn't trying!!! Take his class!! He's AWESOME!!!!!!

If you are taking this class in 8 weeks, like I did, you're crazy. However Professor Hockenbury is extremely reliable, professional and courteous. I took the 8 week internet course. It is very involved and I strongly suggest reading the syllabus and the directions for each assignment more than once! Prepare, study, and study again!!

This teacher is awesome. Wouldn't recommend the online course unless you have a lot of time to read and study. There is an extremely large amount of reading and many videos to be watched. You will be tested in very great detail about the videos you watch as well as the material you read in the book. Great teacher,very helpful & wants you to succeed

Great teacher!!! 25 points of extra credit every section. I had a grade of over 100% for the class. If you read and study for the test and quizes, the class will be easy, but if you don't study it will be really hard. He alows a whole 8x11 test notes page. He gives four 15 question quizes each section with 4 section in a 16 wk semester..A++ teacher

great teacher!!! learn so much.

Best teacher I have ever had ! Life changing!

You HAD to go to every class for a quiz on the material read, which was at least 15 to 30 pages to read. His tests and quizzes were relatively hard, they required you to have read the material in detail and even memorize faces of alot of people and what they were know for, or what book they wrote-stuff like that. HE WROTE THE STINKING BOOK...said.

This class is very informative. I took on-line class, you have to read everything in the chapters and I mean read every page and everything on the pages. I got a B+, but you have to work very hard and remeber everthing for his 80? tests and 15? quizes. Would recomend taking 16 wks not 8 wks to do better.

I took this as the May intersession online class. The month long class is very fast paced, but enriching! Keep up with the reading, and don't be afraid to contact him with questions... he wants you to do well (at your option)!

I had little interest in Psychology prior to this class. However, this is the most fascinating textbook I have ever read. I learned facts about human nature that I can use in my everyday life! The Professor was extremely helpful and went out of his way to accommodate my work schedule. I plan to take every class he & his wife teach!

I thoroghly enjoyed this Internet Intersession class. I was a little nervous about tests but after seeing how they were it was smooth sailing from there. Prof Hockenbury is very helpful and goes above and beyond. I would definitely take one of his courses again.

This class requires a lot of reading. I took the 8 week class on line and had trouble keeping up with all the reading that is required. He is very helpful and goes above and beyond, he sets the standard high for on-line classes. If you work it might be beneficial to take his 16 week course. The work is not reduced it is just condensed to 8 weeks.

I took the 4wk intercession. WOW, it was fast. READ and read some more, memorize every FACE and detail, you'll do fine. It was a great class and the video's are really good and the material is enriching. I will recommend.

Online class that was great! The textbook was written by our professor and his wife, laid out well, had examples and illustrations. The professor was VERY helpful. I just wish I had taken the classroom course so I could meet him and the other classmates.I highly recommend this class to anyone!!!

Long Multi choice questions. Very fun classes, participate, and READ the book. He is very fair on tests, allows 1 page of notes which you will need. He wrote the book so he expects alot, but comfortable classes and fun powerpoint.

HE IS A VERY GOOD TEACHER YOU NEED UR BOOK AND U MUST DO PRACTICET TEST ONLINE VARY FAR

You want to take Psychology with Professor Hockenbury! He ROCKS! Very thorough in explaining what is required. Fun ways to study. Class is engaging. Awesome teacher. An A is very attainable.

The best instructor I have ever had! Eager to help...Extremely knowledgeable...Amazing person...I almost changed my major to psych.

Mr. Hockenbury is super nice and super helpful. I've taken his online course and the in class course. He's very intelligent and knows his stuff! His tests are a little confusing, but if you study what is given and take the practice tests it's not that bad.

He was awesome... A very good teacher... If you pay attention to him it will pay off in the long run...

I Loved Mr. Hockenbury he was very enthusiastic and passionate about the subject he was teaching If you come to class and do all the work you can make a good grade without doing great on tests. If you are a slacker I would not take this class because you HAVE to read all the chapters. It was easy for my and I enjoyed this class a lot.

Mr. Hockenbury is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He made me want to change my major to psych! He is a awesome teacher. Just read the book and you will do fine. (and he tells you that.) Really an awesome teacher, I recommend him!

Don is a very knowledgable professor, and encourages his students to view many different perspectives. He also loves to keep his class engaged in lectures. If you study and do the assignments you will deffently have a great class.

Prof. Hockenbury is the most involved professor of an internet course EVER!!! He gives his students EVERY opportunity to succeed, wrote the textbook he uses, provides darn-near INSTANT feedback, and is an all-around cool guy. i have recommended his course to ALL my friends, and will be hunting him down for other Psychology courses in the future. A+

Great class. I took the 8 week course online and thought the work load was just right. He is very helpful with any questions you may have. Great book to learn from also.

You will need your text book for his class. Very passionate about the subject of psychology. His exams are a little difficult even though he allows you to bring 1 page of notes during exams. Read Read Read. Don't just think that what he lectures about will be the only thing on the test.

Reading/studying is the key to success in this course! His lectures rarely has anything to do with exams. As long as you read the chapters given then you will pass. Let's you have a 1 page cheat sheet. If you don't like putting effort into getting a good grade then don't take him. Otherwise, you'll do fine.

LOVE THIS TEACHER! Wish he could teach the rest of my psych classes (im a pysch major). If you read the chpts you'll be fine, but you MUST read the chpts in order to suceed in his class. He is extremely funny and keeps the class interesting. He lets you use one page of notes on each test too which saved my butt many times. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!

Although his lectures have little to do with the tests, his class is very interesting. Hes a great teacher and I would highly recommend him for anyone who needs to take this course. READ READ READ and you will do just fine in this course. The tests are difficult but he allows a full page of test notes.Only laziness will cause failure in this course

I highly recommend taking your psych class from Mr. Hockenbury. Not only is he helpful and knowledgeable but he most definitely cares about his students and takes their success in his class seriously. He offers a web site that helps tremendously with extra study skills but you will need to buy the book. He actually uses it.

Dr. Hockenbury wrote the textbook for this class and likes to use it. He is very helpful, agreeable, and passionate about Psychology. His tests are difficult and there is so much information, it's impossible to guess what may be covered, so test notes usually don't help much. I came away with a B, not bad.

I recommend doing the practice test online, before reading the chapter, and use it to take notes. Read everything, pictures, graphs, drawings EVERYTHING. Make a page of notes for tests, and take every quiz. If you do that, you can make an A. I only made an A on 1 test, the rest were B's, but b/c of all the points available, I got an A in the class.

Don Hockenbury literally wrote the book, well it was a partnership between him and his wife. I thought it was very easy to read, and his syllabus was very understandable. This was an online class, but he always posted grades within a timely manner, no waiting to see how you were doing. Always returned messages. Very comprehensive. Awesome class.

Took his fast track online class. Had a test every 2 weeks. Could use 1 page of test notes which helped tremendously! He wrote the text book but it is written well. Not like a normal boring text book. Studying every week and taking the practice tests are the key to making a good grade in this class. I recommend this professor.

Good teacher and fun class. I learned more about psychology than I thought I would. Really enjoyed the text book. Mr. Hockenbury is understanding and quite helpful. Take the practice tests! They give you extra points that go toward the section at the end. If you aren't too excited about taking this class, it really is better than you think it will

This is not an easy class. You have to study to get a good grade. Mr. Hockenberry doesn't give anything away, you earn your grade. I enjoyed this class, student opinions are allowed, he won't stand for any nonsense in class such as cell phones or excessive talking. If your not there to learn don't take this class.

Mr. Hockenbury is a wonderful teacher. The class is quite hard but if you take the practice test and read the book you will pass. He also goes over the work in class so if you attend regulary you will not have any problem. Although I had an illness that prevented me from learning I was still able to retain information by tips in his book for learni

One of the easiest A's i have received. I had to do some work for it, but it was almost guaranteed as long as you do the work. I took an 8 week internet course and he allowed us to take 1 full page of test notes in with us to our exams! we just had to turn it in with our name on it at the test center. You have to WANT to fail to do so in his class!

Great teacher! Loves his subject and cares if you understand it. Tells you exactly what you need to get an A. Study guides and practice tests are a must for an A. Enjoyed the class.

This instructor is amazing. He is willing to help as long as you are willing to learn. He wrote the book and it is written well. He is on the same wave length as students so you are inspired to learn. I suggest everyone take this course.

Online 8wk class. Great Professor.Follows syllabus w/no deviation.Read the chapters, watch videos, practice test, video quiz, chapter test.No papers to write.Professor allows one page of notes to be used on test&quiz.Uses blackboard well and never late.Optional final replaces lowest test grade!Don't miss test deadlines!Wish he taught my next class!

Took the 8 week online class. Best online course I've taken. Decent amount of studying for tests, but you get to use test notes. He seems very willing to help you succeed as long as you put in the effort.

I would HIGHLY recommend this teacher. He truly cares about his students, and is willing to do anything to assist them. The man is brilliant and knows his stuff. He wrote the book but he does not think that he is above anyone. This is my favorite teacher by far.

Awesome learning experience! 8 wk online class VERY INTENSE; uses the book for entire class; follow your syllabus carefully, read chapters assignments early and take good "tiny" notes and you'll be fine! Teacher provides lots of extra articles that are very interesting; virtual "field trips" are very educational! It was a good class overall!!!

Great instructor,awesome learning experience!Online class is intense!Wrote the book so he uses it for entire class.Follow syllabus,read chapters,watch videos,practice test,video quiz,chapter test.And u get to use tiny test notes!Recommend this teacher.Man is brilliant!Doesn't think he's above anyone.If u are looking for an easy A this isn't it.

Great guy! and a wonderful teacher! Literally wrote the book. Hard work but you get what you worked for. I made far above an A+ in this class and would highly recommend it.

make sure you study! attendance helps out major! tests notes are allowed. tests/quizzes are multiple choice. many different types of FREE studying materials are available. do the extra credit it pays off! very well educated helpful and prepared teacher I?ve ever came across

Love this teacher! He is very down to earth, easy to talk to, very knowlegeable. Attendance is a must if you want an A. Gives all kinds of helpful tools. You must read the chapters and study! you can use notes for each test. Final is optioanl. Due the online quizzes, easy points and helpful for studing.

If you want an easy A this class might not be for you. If you go to class regularly you will get a good grade, and learn a lot. He wrote the book on the subject, so it is his book that you'll get to purchase! It was an amazing experience to take Psychology from him. Coolest professor in this database... BY FAR!

he is an amazing teacher his class is actually super easy if you do all the optional practice tests online its a total of 100 free points! if you do all and attend class and read wen your suppose to for the little quizzes his class should be super easy! i regret procasinating. his class should be an easy A if you just follow his syllabus! :)

Great teacher!!! Was VERY easy to work with and really helped out according to needs. He was at the testing center every saturday even if he was only going to have one student come by. He was extremely specific in everything he taught. LOVED this class!

A fantastic professor. He makes you work during the 8 week course, but it is not hard. Actually kept it interesting, even though at first I had no interest in the class. If you need to take intro to psychology, this is the instructor to find.

AWESOME PROFESSOR! One of my Favorite this semester. Uses book daily and must read(in between lines also) to pass the tests. Did lots of online activites and you should do the practice tests to maintain a good grade. Highly recommended! Not an easy class but he is always willing to stay and help you if you don't understand the materials.

He is extremely helpful and willing to explain thing for you. Although many of his lecture isn't from the book, but his test is majority from the book. You can still pass his class without making an A on his test, as long as you do the option bonus he have provided. Read daily and check the study guide available in black board.

He is simply the best. I took this class Fall 2010, made an A without having to take the final. It is easy class if you go to class and study, and you learn so much!

Just A Great Teacher Overall, In His Class You WILL Get The Grade You Earned.....If Your Actively Paying Attention In Class And Reading The Assignments You'll Pass With Ease......Nuff' Said

This a class that require a lot of time for reading and time to do test and quiz! however, he has great reviews (take advantage of reviews) EASINESS (not) you really got to do work and study to get a good grade. read, study and if you can get a study buddy. =( i did not.

Awesome online class- syllabus was crystal clear, Mr. Hockenbury stuck by what he had in the syllabus - prompt courteous responses to all questions and concerns - I would recommend this class to anyone.

I took this class online. Mr. Hockenbury was a very helpful instructor. The class is laid out in 4 sections with about 2 1/2 weeks to do each section. I enjoyed the class. If you read the information and take test on time you will do fine. I made and A+ in this class. I will be taking him for my future psychology classes.

Took online was ok. The test are very hard. You have to really understand what you are reading. Asked for a recommendation letter, told me he made a personal policy not to do that. Needed letter for scholarship. Find a teacher that will help you in every way.

Great professor! He's really interested and invested in his discipline and his students. The class isn't easy but he is ALWAYS available to help and helps quickly. Class is well organized! Tests are hard but not impossible. Grades are fair. Best professor I've had yet!

well taking this class inthe intersession was bad choice for me, i love the textbook it has amazing info that you need to know as aspiring nurses. too much info to comprehend in a week.. he is a very helpful teacher

Professor H. was very helpful, always willing to interrupt his busy schedule to help his students. His assignments are clearly defined and he is always willing to help his students better understand.

16-wk online class. Great & funny teacher! You get 1 page of notes for proctored tests. You must know pictures & graphs. The textbook was easy to read. Great syllabus. If you have any problems & email him, he responds quickly. Overall fun class, wished I had him for my other classes. Made a 98%. Easy "A" if you do the work! Recommend!!!

Plan on reading A LOT. Tons of reading materials! He responds QUICKLY to all questions! Quizzes are 3 tries to make 100! Tests not easy but not hard either.

Solid instructor. Not to easy and willing to help. Would take a class from him again.

Easy to get a long with and a nice guy! Responds quickly to emails and seems to actually care about his students. He wrote the book and that makes it a little hard. I would recommend him!

I learned a tremendous amount of information in this class. I was surprised to be able to learn that much from an online course, but the way Mr. Hockenbury has it setup is fantastic!

This guy is amazing! This was my 1st ever college course and it was a great first experience. If you pay attention and do your work, he will be your best friend. He is definitely your buddy and will give away many free points if you pay attention. I have had to call him many times late at night for help and we always ended the convo with a laugh.

Good instructor, lots of great videos to watch.

The professor and the class is amazing. He will make you learn the material but is there to assist. The setup and user interface is fantastic. The intermission course is challenging but made achievable. Take him for both of your Psychology classes. I promis you will be glad you did. Simply put...Professor Hockenbury is the perfect professor.

Loved this class. Gets back to you very quickly and is very helpful. I Highly recommend him!

I just finished the first 8 week online intro to pysc course, and I loved it! He made sure things stayed interesting while you still learned. Yes, it is a lot of hard work, but guess what, you're in college, get use to it. Very clear & helpful and obviously loves what he teaches. I highly recommend him!

Prof. Hockenbury is wonderful. He is VERY thorough. This was an 8 week class that covered A LOT of material. I spent SEVERAL entire days reading, making notes and watching videos for the tests. The text (written by him) is excellent. He posts nearly every answer to any questions before you ask them. Also you can call him anytime. AWESOME teacher!!!

I took this course online in 8 weeks, and he is an excellent professor! Always available and very helpful. Asks a lot of his students but if you do the work, you'll enjoy this class. If you're taking Intro to Psych online, TAKE THIS ONE.

I took this class at the beginning of this past summer in a three week fast track. You must read the chapters and understand the material, ie studying. If you apply yourself, you will learn the subject matter. You must do the assignments and ask questions if you have any. You will get the grade you earn. Definitely take this class, it is worth it!!

Easy class as long as you do all the reading. Tests are proctored or you can take them online while being monitored. You will need the book! Lots of reading. Really enjoyed this class, and Mr. Hockenbury was clear and answered all questions. Easy A as long as you stay on top of the reading! Notes can be taken to tests/quizzes as well!

This professor loves psychology and it shows!! There is a lot to do you just have to pace yourself and you will have no problem. He values feedback and truly wants you to enjoy his class. I will be looking for more classes taught by Don Hockenbury!!

Best online class I have taken. Read and follow guidelines and you will pass, and not just pass - you will probably get an A if you just do the work and read! The textbook is great, and easy to read. Not boring at all! Great professor!!

Amazing teacher! He loves teaching. TAKE HIM!
