he is very nice and funny, but his 20 questions test kinda mess up your grade because questions are double, so if u miss 5 it would be minus 10. he only gives two papers and easy on grading them. he let u arrive late to class and we have lots of discussions in class.
It was his first semester teaching and I don't think he knew the material. He couldn't summarize the important information.His first test (multiple choice) had a large failure rate.By the end of the semester his testing style changed to written answers and he gave bonus points, allowing for a higher rate of passing.
Amazing Professor! He has alot of knowledge and real world exp. that he applies to his lectures. Take notes, and if he repeats something more than likely its gonna be on the test, so put a star next to it! Very interesting class and I am glad that I took him. I will take other classes if my schedule works with his class times.
Professor Blair is my absolute favorite professor by far! He is great at explaining the material, using real world examples, and is very helpful whenever students ask questions. Test questions come from the notes and the book (the book is an easy read), some multiple choice and some short answer. I would HIGHLY recommend taking his classes.
Very confusing with tests, uses tricky questions...my best advice to you; find someone else that is fair for your academic success!...I know he does not mean to be like that, but he shouldn't be teaching at a College.
It isn't the professor that makes this class hard, it's just the fact that it is PSYCHOLOGY. There is A LOT of info you need to remember for tests and if you don't study, you'll fail.He's a cool guy,makes his powerpoints easy to understand, but you have to push yourself to learn the stuff.I studies for 4 hours MINIMUM before his tests.
Professor Blair was a GREAT professor! His test questions are straight forward and to the point, no trick questions. If you regularly attend class, pay attention, and read the book you'll have no problem getting an A in this class.
Just found out that I can not resale the book... so it's about $200 in the trash, and the worst is that the book is completely useless if you take notes from his lecture. This Professor has a good personality, but I feel that he does not know what he's doing.
This class is definitely a challenge. He teaches very well but test are not in anyway easy. You must pay attention in class, take lots of notes and not what's just on the PowerPoint. Reading the full chapter is a must. He's really nice, try's to get the class into it. You have to be completely devoted to this class. I did learn a lot thatwillstick.
I couldn't afford the psyc book but it turns out that you dont even need one as long as you take very good notes from his power points. He tends to get off track but his quizzes are fairly simple if you listen. I would recommend him.
Nice guy, but can't teach! Never again will I take him.
Attendance isn't mandatory. Textbook not needed if you take really good notes. He's fun and very passionate about what he teaches. Lectures entire class but it's never boring. 2 papers throughout the class. Not easy but if you try you'll do well
Have some knowledge before taking his class. Be sure to study very hard as he like to test from his own knowledge and not his lectures.
Probably one of the best classes I've taken at PBSC. Dr. Blair is a great teacher and lecturer. All tests come straight from the lecture/powerpoints. No curveballs! Two term papers which are very leniently graded. Easy class to get an A in if you try.
He was a really good teacher. His tests are straight from the power points so make sure to write EVERYTHING down. 5 tests 20 questions each. There are no trick questions. The 2 essays were super easy if you follow all the guidelines. Hes a really chill teacher and super funny. Don't miss class because you will miss alot if you do.
Dr. Blair was the best teacher I've had at PBSC. He's flexible, returns emails and cares about students. Take him if you have a chance
Dr. Blair made the class so interesting. He has an active and fun teaching style. Great guy and caring about students. He gives many opportunities to improve your grade including bonus points. Very highly recommended
This professor made psychology fun and exciting. Cool guy and allows make-up tests as long as you provide a reason or contact him. He's fair and funny. Also makes time for students to discuss grades. No homework just tests, reading the book and notes. Best professor I've had
I took psych before but I didn't learn as much as in this class. Lectures fun and interesting. Great class and professor
Cool professor and always helpful. Get a chance take the class
Loved the class despite having to take it for a gen ed. Dr. Blair can be entertaining. Responds to questions and emails quickly. Other professors didn't. Best professor I have ever had
He substituted for our professor for one lecture. He was interesting and knew alot. I would take him for a class in the future
Loved this class. A lot of tests but they're fair. I liked the professor very much. I learned a lot
I like psychology and now I like it more after this class. Professor Blair has an interactive teaching style and his lectures are easy to follow. Great teacher. Take for psychology
Good class and lots of chances for grades. I wished he dropped the lowest test grade but he give chances for bonus points. The papers were straightfoward.
I could've studied more and gotten a better grade but the class was cool. I would highly recommend Dr. Blair as a teacher to everyone
Class moves fast after the beginning of the course and a lot of things to learn. you have to keep up. But Dr. Blair is fair and always met with students whenever they needed to. I liked that
Loved this class and Dr. Blair is great. He's available to students and helps them more than most professors. Good time
I did well and studied hard. There are a lot of tests but they go quick. The professor gives interesting lectures. Best professor I've had
Fantastic Class. A lot of work and you have to study and keep up. The professor is cool and tries to help students do well. Amusing lecturer. Take it if you want to learn
I love psychology and I liked the textbook. The class has 5 tests with a midterm and final with 2 papers. Professor has cool teaching style. Gives lots of examples to understand things. Great class
I didn't know what to expect when i took the class. Enrolled cause I had to. I learned a lot but you have to keep up. Text is fair priced is you buy on the PBSC bookstore. I like Dr. Blair. Fair and respectful to students
Had a good time with this class. The information was useful and I learned a lot about myself. Teacher seems like he enjoys teaching and is fun. Good class
I loved psychology prior to this class and I loved it more after this class. Great lecturer and uses interesting examples to show ideas
Despite not passing the class, the professor was really good. I just struggled to do well do to my work and life. I would recommend anyone to take this class with Dr. Blair
Great professor. Learned a lot and will be taking another course over the summer term.
Liked the prof, textbook and class. The pace of the course was fast. Have to keep up with all the work. Take the class if you want to learn
I liked the professor but I had so many problems outside of class and didn't do well. But I will take Dr. Blair again in the future.
Professor worked with me when I had a problem and listened when I went to talk to him. As a result I did well and didn't have to drop. Good guy
Received a better grad than I thought I would. The professor offered bonus points on the final. Fair final and reasonable. Take the class if you have to with him
Dr. Blair cared a lot about the students in the class and is a great lecturer. He adds clinical experiences to enhance the material.Had to drop the class for personal reasons but will take the class again with him in the future when it is offered
Dr. Blair created an interesting class. He includes a lot of information in his lectures. The best professor I have ever had
After getting my grade I did better than I expected. Dr. Blair is a great lecturer and the best professor I have had yet. Take him if you get a chance
He was a really good teacher who gave the class everything we needed to pass. The writing assignments are especially easy:) And for the tests I just read the book and had great grades on them. I would definitely take him again if I had to.
Explains everything he's a very good teacher. You will learn a lot.
Incredible teacher.... point blank.
Covers everything this in General Psych so easily. Definitely recommend him. Very precise and uses very good examples. His tests are challenging but there's no questions that he didn't cover.
Great diction. With his booming voice it's hard to not pay attention. He's silly at times too but if you have sometng to say, you need to speak up because he'll continue talking.
Fun and energetic teacher. Also very accessible and allowed me to come to his office to talk about whatever I needed to discuss. Great professor
Great teacher, he knows his material. Seriously such an easy class. Mostly consists of tests and 2 papers. Pay attention and study the notes, you'll be fine.
Very interesting class. 2 papers: 1 self reflection and one research paper on a particular article. like 5 or 6 tests from class notes. Highly recommend this class!
The absolute most understanding teacher! I enjoyed his class all the time.
Excellent professor. Interesting lectures. Interesting examples. The class is not difficult. You will learn some interesting things. if you read the book and study the notes you will do well.
This teacher is extremely knowledgeable about this subject, you will learn so much. I do recommend getting the book because he put a few questions on the tests that were only in the book and not the notes. You have to study a lottt to even dream of passing because his tests are really tricky. Overall, I highly recommend him, he's amazing!
AWSOME! Very interesting class. His lectures are based on power points, but if you read the chapters (the concepts that he emphasizes) I guarantee you an A. It is impossible to get bored in his class. Amazing guy! His test are based on concepts NOT memorization. As long as you understand there is not trick. 25 questions 25 minutes! One min per que
Good teacher. Not the easiest. Definetly have to study. Enjoyable class overall.
Good teacher. Not the easiest. Definetly have to study. Enjoyable class overall.
He is great professor. Knows his information, you just you up of the lectures and the test come straight from his lectures take good notes and that is all you need to pass the class.
The previous person who rated couldn't be more wrong. I used the text to study for tests including those in MY PSYCH Lab. Dr. Blair didn't decide My Psych Lab was a stupid idea but that many students didn't get good grades so he gave class extra credit opportunities in My Psych Lab. Text cheap compared to other classes. Amazing great professor
I recommend this professor. I look forward in taking his abnormal class in the summer! Makes psych very interesting & he is passionate about it. Organized & doesn't go off topic. This is a class where u want to be sitting in the front to grasph all lectures. His test can be tough at times, but that's why he gives us tools & methods to study from.
Professor Blair loves his subject. His lectures may be long but they are interesting! Read your book, show up to class and pay attention you will have no problem passing! I would definitely recommend Professor Blair for psy2012! I absolutely loved having him as a professor! Probably gonna take abnormal with him too!!
I recommend Dr. Blair. He is an amazing professor who is very knowledgeable and love what he does. He is always there to help in anyway and wants his students to succeed. Two papers, 5 test all from the notes, power points and book. Lots of extra credit! I really enjoyed his class and look forward to taking him for abnormal psy.
A lot of times there is not enough time to cover everything. MUST READ THE BOOK. Tests are fair but difficult. USE MINDTAP CHAPTER TESTS. Mind Tap is a great tool for this class. I didn't need the class for my degree, but I'm glad I took it. Very enjoyable. Not an easy A.
I take Dr. Blair for as many classes as I can and none of his classes have disappointed me. This class is helpful if you're looking to enter a career in the field of human services. He has a lot to offer the class and gives great lectures, never gets boring. Tests are multiple choice and short answer. All you need to know is in his lectures.
The most important professor to the success of my education and my future career. Extremely experienced, knowledgeable, caring, and interesting. Psychotherapy is a difficult class in itself, Dr. Blair makes it as interesting and easy as it can be, while still allowing you to learn and understand the theories. Guarantee you will not regret
Wonderful professor! he let you know what you need to know for each quiz and test. Lectures are interesting and he gives a lot of feedback. He also wants students to participate and their feedback so don't to ask questions. Professor Blair is the best Psychology professor at PBSC so I would definitely take class again
Dr. Blair is very clear and caring. He is extremely lenient with late work, and as long as you let him know, he'll always excuse coming or leaving late. His tests are straightforward and easy if you study. The only problem I had with him is that he says he doesn't talk politics, yet he constantly bashes republicans. Extremely liberal!!!
Dr. Blair presents information in a clear and organized way. He is great teacher and during class discussions, yes politics gets discussed but it is because the history of Human Services is greatly impacted by the various political parties. I recall that Dr. Blair spent equal time on all political parties but to some obviously sounded like bashing
Professor Blair is an amazing instructor! He is ver helpful and willing to work with you. He teaches of of power points, which are very clear the understand. There are 2 papers that are pretty easy,5 Tests ( only 25 questions each and you are given 25 minutes), and Mindtap. If you pay attention and study you will be fine! Would DEF take him again!!
I was worried about taking Psychology because I know there's a lot of different elements to it. But Prof. Blair made it a lot more interesting and a bit more easier to understand. The tests are so simple and short (25 questions) if you study and take good notes. Lectures are long but who cares?! He was great and I'd definitely take him again.
Professor Blair is an amazing teacher, who pour information in you to help you see what it takes to be a human services professional and what to expect. You will be taking notes from his lectures, which is very helpful on his tests. He will help you to help yourself. I recommend him to any who is taking Intro to Human Services.
Best professor I've ever taken! Caring, considerate and always willing to help. So knowledgeable about the class and topics discussed. Offers extra credit on every test. 10/10 would definitely recommend!
Professor Blair definitely knows what he is talking about; he is very knowledgeable. Need to pay attention to slight details in Q's on test or your grade will suffer. Half of the grade is Mindtap and the other half is the tests so it's a pretty good shot of getting an A. Will recommend him to anyone!
Abnormal Psychology is a class that is balanced between in class work and online work. The material is so interesting and Dr. Blair has a great deal of knowledge and energy in the class. Fun and interesting.
You must read you textbook if you want to do well on the tests, I cannot stress this enough. The tests will be a breeze if you read your book and write notes. You can write notes at home, in class, you should listen to Dr. Blair as he lectures it makes the information more understandable as you read the book. Dr. Blair is kind and incredibly funny.
Dr Blair is very passionate, kind, caring and really wants his students to pass. You have to communicate with him about anything literally. He really try to help everyone pass. You have to buy the book and read it too to get an A.
Second time taking this class first time I didn't take it seriously and failed. Studied moderate this time and made sure I did online homework, homework makes a difference GET IT DONE. Tests are hard for me, pays attention to the minor details you wouldn't think would be on tests. Overall great professor cares about his students, very informational
I have taken several of his classes. With Blair you have to pay attention to his lectures, you have to be willing to challenge yourself and make sure you understand what your reading, its pysch afterall Some hate the ppw lecture style and find the book reading hard. But this is usually the people that aren't taking the class serious enough.
love his class! he really knows his stuff i definitely recommend him to anyone. He is a very great person. There is also lots of opportunities for extra credit. DO MINDTAP with that you will definitely get a high grade. Amazing class and he explains things very well. He tells you exactly what is on the test. loved it!
Amazing. he is very knowledgeable and gives great examples to explain thing. Take him no doubt.
Dr. Blair is a great guy and easy to talk to. His abnormal psych class is fairly difficult. The tests are hard due to the wording of the questions. His lectures are good, but he gets side tracked quickly.
Dr. Blair is a very nice guy who understands that we are just students. I recommend that if you take his class, you read each chapter thoroughly and take good notes. His test are critical thinking, not just simple vocab words.
Before his class I had no idea what to do, and I said to myself if this doesn't interest me then I'm dropping out. He Inspired me to keep studying in the psychology field. I now only have a two semesters left till my BSW. He uses real life examples, personal experiences, and class discussion to teach so keep an open mind during lectures and listen.
most emphatic understanding accommodating professor, least judgmental person and as long as you come to class and do MindTap (online study thing), an A is more than feasible!
He is an amazing professor but you do need to come to class to get notes. He does not post his lectures online & you need them to pass the tests. He "uses" the book but really you don't need it you just need the access codes that come w/ it. Mindtap is a must. Bad thing is that his notes are extensive & you have to study it alllll!
He is the best professor. Explains things well and relates them to real life. Definitely take him because he will inspire you and you will just enjoy it , trust me.
Professor Blair is BY. FAR. the BEST professor I have ever taken. I've taken a few of his classes, both morning. He is extremely kind, caring, patient, and willing to work with students. Paying attention in class and to the notes is very important and missing a class can leave you confused. He makes the material easier to understand. :) 1,000/10!
this guy is a gem, make sure you do the mindtaps and you will pass for sure, he is very fair as well and if you have any problems he will go lengths to help you. he is aware of a students struggle and will accommodate every student in the room. i really recommend him.
Dr. Blair will keep your attention the whole time you are in class. His test are a challenge and his case studies too. Taking him again next semester. He is a great teacher
No final, about 8 quizzes in the semester. Only other thing that is graded is 2 or 3 assignments per chapter online on mindtap. His lectures don't cover 100% of what is on the quizzes so you will have to read a bit.
Dr. Blair is a great professor. Keeps you engaged the whole time. Uses real life stories to get his point across. Must use book to pass mindtap quizzes. I little tough. But nothing too bad.
I took Dr. Blair for the first time back in 2014. All I can say is that I am now a masters student. To this day, I have so many take aways from his lectures. He was my first psychology professor and is honestly the reason I am so passionate about psychology. 6 years later and I'm still referencing the class's textbook in my masters program!
I enjoyed Professor Blair's Abnormal Psychology class. I would definitely recommend him and look forward to taking another one of his classes in the future.
Professor blair was wonderful. He gave us extra time to get the work done if we had a lot of issues. All his work is in mindtap and you barely get any work. No final !!! Easy A
There's no paper, no final/midterm which is great. All the assignments are due high way thru the semester/at the end instead of weekly. If you do the assignments you'll do well. Sometimes it feels like he's being short with you. If you mainly care about the grade take this class.
Dr. Blair makes this class so enjoyable. He has great knowledge and past experiences to share. He cares about students and how well they do. He's always available to students to answer questions and is very patient. I definitely recommend him and this class. I loved his Intro Psychology class and that is why I enrolled. The best psych professors
Loves his approach to teaching especially with the pandemic. He helped make my first year in college exceptional. The best decision I ever made taking his class. He always prioritized his students in all ways. He also made the class interesting even with remote learning. If you get the opportunity take a class with Dr. Blair. Great instructor.
His class is the best! You will learn a lot from the lectures , he likes it when ppl engage with him. The only work you will have to do are unit tests and one essay paper which is extremely easy. Easy A .
If you need to take abnormal or personality development I cant recommend this professor enough! He gives great lectures and is very knowledgeable in the field of psychology. He gives clear instructions must complete mind tap assignments to pass the class.
he is a GEM! You use mindtap for everything that needs to be graded. He is very informative and will answer questions. I enjoyed his class for 2 semesters straight for 2 different classes. TAKE HIM! you will not regret it!
Everything is graded throught MindTap. If you keep up with the chapter readings and pay attention during lectures, you'll be okay. He's accomodating to his students, so don't hesitate to ask him if you need any help.
super nice guy, all the work is due on the midterm or at the end of the semester. likes it when people participate but is very understanding if you dont
Everything is through mind tap. He is really good at what he does and loves it. His lectures are long (and boring most times) but he loves participation. Its not required but he loves to be able to engage with his students. Easy A class wouldnt take again simply because I kept falling asleep
Great Professor! I took this class online and it was easy to pass! He gives all the work on Mindtap and that is basically your grade just do the assignments on time and you will pass the class. Professor is caring and understanding just show up to the zoom class for attendance and try to participate. He also doesn't force you to turn on camera :)
Amazing Professor! He is caring and understanding of his students when they have to leave class early or have other things going on in their life. He doesn't force students to turn on their cam but likes for people to participate in Zoom meetings. Easy class all assignments on Mindtap! Do the work on time and you will pass!! Highly recommend him :)
Dr. Blair is one of the kindest professors I have ever met. He is very caring and understanding. I would 1000/10 recommend him!!
Very good professor. He is funny and he actually cares about us and understands that we have a lot on our plate right now and is very lenient.
All assignments are completed on mindtap. He is a very nice professor but the lectures can get boring. If I were to take this class again I would just take it completely online because I did not benefit from coming to class.
Very easy class. He is an amazing professor. He is funny so it really engages the students. All things you are graded on are easy to do. It is absolutely an easy A but you do learn a couple things from his class. Take his class.
You gonna have to buy the expensive textbook and not use it but he makes up for it by making the class easy. Just complete the assignments on Cengage and you are set for an A. He did say he is gonna start doing in-class tests never year so good luck but he is a genuinely good guy and teacher. Highly recommend!!
Dr.Blair is a great professor! He cares about his students and is very knowledgable when it comes to the lecture material. He answers questions and makes sure every student is following along well. I took his abnormal psych and personality development over zoom and workload wasn't bad at all. No mid-term or final.
Dr.Blair is one of the most inspirational professors I have been lucky enough to encounter. Highly recommend his method whether interested in pursuing a career in Psychology or not. Thank you Dr.Blair, your teachings are highly appreciated.
This professor's class was super easy. Everything is done through mindtap and is due in two chunks, not something every weekend. The lectures are a little boring, but it is a super easy class and easy to get credit for. One super easy and auto-graded essay is due at the end of the semester through mindtap. I recommend this class to get easy credit
Professor Blair was pretty straight forward there was no midterm or final just a paper and online assignments which you have more than enough time to complete. There is no reason NOT to pass this class unless you really just don't care or do your work. Overall I would take his class again just because of how interesting he makes his lectures
If you need to take psychology, this is the teacher to do it with! He was so nice, understood all his students' struggles, and was very accommodating by providing extra time to finish assignments. All his assignments are on Mindtap to go on your own paste. There was only one big essay that was 1000 words, but it was very easy!
This is my third time taking this same professor for three different courses. He is AMAZING!!! He really tries to help you and get you to interact. With his lectures, it is really clear and easy to follow. Any psychology subjects, I will forever recommend to take him. Also, he loves to interact with his students.
One of the best professors I have taken, I would definitely recommend! Few mini assignments each chapter (MindTap) that you can get easily done and 1 paper at the end of the semester. He'll usually ask questions during lectures, it doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, he just likes to interact with his students and give feedback. Very fun class
Dr, Blair is my favorite professor , he is very knowledgeable and his lectures was informative and interesting always. his class is interactive, i definitely recommend him to take, he is very easygoing professor.
One of the best professors I've had. He is very reasonable and very caring. If you have anything just let him know beforehand he is very understanding. The work is very straight forward and your grade should be fine as long as you just do it and pay attention during class. I had him live-online and would definitely take one of his classes again!
If you take this professor, please remember to do your mindtap because if you don't, you don't get another chance. He only opens it once, but besides this, he is a great professor. Lectures are a little boring, but that's just my ADHD hitting me hard. Anyway, the class is easy to follow, the assignments are easy to follow, and he answers questions!
The online lectures follow a slideshow he made and leaves room for engagement. Super easy coursework. No midterm and no final exam as all the course's work is in MindTap. You can go at your own pace without harsh deadlines. He is a great person to learn from if you're wanting to get into related fields. Very understanding and kind to students.
Professor Blair makes the lectures engaging and the coursework manageable. The MindTap assignments are straightforward, and the paper at the end is reasonable. unstuck ai was a great supplement for test prep. Overall, an enjoyable class to take.
Dr. Blair is very kind and genuinely cares about his students. He's the only professor I've ever had who remembered the names of his past students and what class they were in previously. He does use MindTap for all assignments/tests so keep that in mind. Overall he is a great professor who is very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Great professor!
Dr.Blair was a fantastic professor! (first time in years I've actually learned from a class) You could tell that he genuinely loves what he does, and that he cares about whether or not his students understand what is being taught. All materials for this class were included with the tuiton and fully accessable from day one.
