He's a great lecturer, very funny and very knowledgeable. He makes complex ideas very understandable.

I loved this class! Dr. Gantt was funny, enlightening, and provocative. Go IceCats!

This was a great class. It was a lot to take in a a good deal of work, but he's a great teacher (and a great coach!) I learned a lot from him and found him very friendly, and helpful.

His class will make you think. It reguires intelligence. If you want to develop critical skills,and gain knowledge he is your man. If you are less intelligent and want to get an easy A without thinking, then don't take it. He's the best I have had.

Quizzes took up to much classtime. He has a wealth of knowledge in his head but hasn't learned to share it clearly. He could be one of the best teachers on campus. Still he is better then the other teacher for this class. Class didn't seem too heavy on reading, normal amount for a upper-level class.

Good teacher and interesting but class seems redundant after awhile

Great teacher, I love philosophy and loved having the class, but the girl next to me fell asleep everyday, if you like philosophy then you'll like the class. Made me head towards Theoretical Philosophical Psychology!

Prof. Gantt is amazing! He is so intelligent and extremely good at explaining issues and concepts. This class should be required for all students - it really helps you critically think about issues.

Professor Grantt is the best!! I think everyone that is interested in psychology should take his LDS Perspectives and Psychology class!! I learned so much from our class discussions. I think I learned more about psychology in that class than any other I took.

Fun teacher. Good lectures.

Dr. Gantt is awesome, I loved his class. I could listen to him lecture all day! He's interested in his students, especially those who take time to visit his office to talk about the class. Unfortunately, his tests are written by his TA's and they are often off the wall, with questions about obscure material that was never discussed.

Brilliant teacher but you'll have to do alot of reading, it's worth it though, in my oppinion. If you prepare for every quiz like it's a test (no skimming) you'll come out just fine.

Hillarious teacher, I loved coming to his classes. He made the subject very interesting.

Entertaining, interesting, and makes you really want to learn.

I've had Dr. Gantt for two classes and I think he brings a wonderful perspective to Psychology. I think this class should be required for all Psych students. I couldn't get enough in 353--the readings and lectures were great.

Dr. Gantt is a great guy, so funny and makes the topic interesting. However, there is A LOT of reading and I didn't like how we never knew when the quizzes were. I also thought that the test format was very different from the quizzes and made it somewhat hard to study. But if you do the reading and stay on top of the work you'll do fine.

I was not looking forward to this class but it was awesome! He has a lot of good insights and adds the LDS perspective. Go to review sessions for tests and you'll get A's. TAs were great. He posts a discussion board to answer students' questions. Group/Individual Quizzes. 4 Tests. Fair Grading.

he is very philosophical, especially in 210, but it's good stuff. he doesn't talk to undergrads that much, but he's entertaining in the classroom. his tests are pretty straighforward in each class. i reccommend taking him.

I was a bit worried about this class before taking it..history of psychology just didn't sound that interesting. But Dr. Gantt made the class well worth it. It was a very good class. Lots of reading, the quizzes were easy, the tests sometimes hard. (but that's what you get when TA's write them) I would take another class from him in a heartbeat.

The best teacher I've had at BYU. He'll answer any questions he can, but will admit he doesn't know if he can't help. After class discussions with him are interesting, though not always helpful.

Dr. Gantt is a terrific teacher, knows his stuff, is enthusiastic, energetic, and has a great sense of humor. The class was tough, lots of reading, but the grading/testing was fair and the TAs really helped out alot. I'd take another class from him in a hearbeat.

Not a bad class...but he's funny and he helps you if you need!!!

Great professor!! I found myself going home thinking about the lectures and what we discussed that day. VERY interesting and knowledgeable. He knows how to explain concepts and ideas

Amazing class! Professor Gantt is incredible! The class lectures/discussions are fascinating. He is very animated and a lot of fun! Tests are very straightforward, just make sure you go to class and do the reading. Don't take this class from anyone else!!

One of the best teachers I have ever had. He made choosing psych as a major worth it. The class is super interesting and the readings are awesome. You do have to read a lot.

Dr. Gantt is a really smart teacher and the readings for this class are awesome. but can you say TANGENTS!! he is full of them. sometimes they seem really useless, but overall it's a good class.

Awesome teacher with a huge amount of excitement for the material. Explains it in an interesting, and applicable way. I really enjoyed his class and his personality. Lots of reading, but tests are easy.

He's crazy!!! in a good way and he likes to talk a lot but usually its a good thing. cuz he knows what he's talking about.

I had to study like crazy but the work paid off for an A. If you are already taking classes that will be time consuming then do not take this one as it will require hours of reading. Definitely attend the study sessions

He is the smartest man I have ever heard Speak. If you want to be entertained come to his class.

Dr. Gantt is extremely entertaining to listen to lecture. Watch out though because his tests are nothing like what you would expect from the lecture.

Oh man...hard class. Good but hard. He didn't make it harder , it's just a lot of dense material. Very funny, made a lot of dumb jokes that eased the stress a bit. I added the class in the 3rd week, I don't recommend that, but he really worked with me to keep me up and not let me fail the class. Make sure you have time for tons of reading.

Dr. Gantt is an amazing professor, and really understands the philosophical assumptions of psychology. He is very pointed in his criticisms of the discipline, and is exactly right.

Gantt is the man. If you want to be a psychologist in this secular world, you need to hear his take on philosophy. I would recommend this class to anyone. It is not as hard as everyone says. Just pay attention to the readings and attend class. You will quickly catch on to his quiz/testing style and get an A.

He is great!

Learned tons! Very relevant to the field of Psychology.

Lectures were thought provoking; tests were not perfect, but reasonable. I had him for 353 and 354 and got As in both. Do your reading, pay attention in class, and thoroughly review reading assignments before taking the tests. If you aren't into critical thinking then stay away. Yes, he's opinionated, but I like his opinions. FYI: I am a senior.

I had him for LDS Perspectives. This class is extremely helpful, if for nothing more than just having a broader understanding of philosophical assumptions. It helped me recognize assumptions I didn't even know I was making. It'll only be useful if you stay open-minded and realize that he might not be so open-minded. DO THE READINGS!

He really knows what he's talking about. He's great at making difficult material easier to understand, but he rarely lets students in on the discussion. Ignores raised hands and interrupts when he does call on them. Every class there is a group or individual quiz. Go to TA reviews, cuz it's hard to tell what's important for the midterms otherwise!

You either hate him or you love him. I love him. His lectures (range all over the place) are electrifying and very thought-provoking. I think many students just aren't ready to really think deeply about the issues he raises. Some maybe just hate having to think or defend the opinions they have so they think he's arrogant but he's not.

Fun class, very engaging and relevant even if it doesn't seem like it at first. Gantt knows his stuff and loves his students. Tests are not necessarily tied to the lectures, but follow the books really close. Great class for you if you want to learn, not so good if you want easy information spoon fed to you by some monotonous droner.

great class!!! i learned more in one week from dr gantt than i learned in 4 years of seminary and sunday school!!! tests are hard but class is a blast!!! he's a great lecturer and really loves the book of mormon and really cares about his students!!!

Amazing!! Love the guy! And he totally works with you if you are struggling. The class isn't hard...you just have to do the reading!!!

Dr. Gantt goes off on tangents but they really make you think. If you do the readings then you will do fine on his tests and quizzes. He is very fair on reconsidering test questions for credit. i highly recommend taking a class from him. i learned so much!

Dr. Gantt is the best! Yes, the classes are demanding and the reading is intense, but he doesn't just teach history. He teaches the foundation of modern psychology down to the philosophical roots and teaches students to take accountability for their moral and intellectual standpoints. He is very accommodating and the TAs are always willing to help.

He's not the easiest professor, but what he teaches will change the way you understand the world because he asks the questions that actually matter.

Very insightful, and very opinionated. He does a very, very good job of exploring the philosophical assumptions of psychology. However, because he feels that few academics truly view psychology from an LDS or Christian perspective, he doesn't show both sides of the issues and can come across as extreme. Definitely worth taking, though.

Dr. Gantt is awesome!You learn so much.He's open to questions and explains material very nicely.His class is hard.You have to know your materials. There's lots of reading and quizzes nearly every day.But if you work hard, study hard, see your T.A., talk with him, and do your best, the class is definitely worth it.I highly recommend him.

He was fascinating as a BOM prof! We did a slow read, only two chapters a week. I didn't always agree with his strong opinions, but his insight makes you think. I appreciated both his scholarly and spiritual perspective. I learned a ton from him! Lectures were very interesting. Highly recommend him for religion classes

We are so lucky to have Dr. Gantt as a professor here. He has a brilliant and revolutionary mind within the world of psychology. He's completely changed the way I look at the discipline, he puts everything into perspective. It's hard work, but so rewarding.

This class is HARD! Don't freak out when you get a D (or even an E) on your first paper. He doesn't count your early scores. Even though it wasn't an easy class, I felt like I learned a ton. He really helped me to think critically about psychology and helped me understand a lot of the underlying issues--like determinism, reductionism, etc.

The readings in this class were very important. You take quizzes a lot and you need to do the reading prior to going to class to do well on the quizzes. The exams were pretty intense and reading material and class lecture information was tested. It can be an interesting class if you enjoy philosophy.

Amazing professor! He challenges you to think about really important issues in psychology, philosophy, and religion. Not your ordinary teacher. He cares about his students and really pushes you to learn the material and think about how it applies. Be ready to read alot and listen carefully to what he is teaching.

Gantt is a fantastic teacher and is genuinely interested in his students. I learned a lot from the class. VERY heavy reading. The reading is difficult to understand at times, but it really helps you analyze things better. Reading is necessary for group and individual quizzes. Loved the class mostly because Gantt is interesting.

Not sure why some of the others on here didn't like Gantt's Book of Mormon class. It was the best religion class I've ever taken here at BYU in 4 years. It was intellectually and spiritually stimulating. The final proejct was hard but I really learned a ton.

Not sure what that last guys (girls's) problem is but Dr. G is one of the best teachers at this school. His lectutres are amazing. He's funny, brilliant, and really does care that we know the material. There is a ton of reading and the quizzes and exams are tough, but you can do well if you study hard and work with the TAs. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!

I loved this class. Dr. Gantt talks A LOT but he's really interesting most of the time and you can tell that he really cares about the material. This course really made me think and was probably my favorite that I have taken thusfar. Dr. Gantt is very funny and very nice. Take this class from him.

Dr. Gantt is an amazing professor. His lectures really make you think. It was a fascinating class that made me think about the world in new ways. He is an engaging lecturer and you can tell that he loves what he teaches and wants his students to understand what he's teaching. His tests aren't easy-pay attention and study hard and you'll do great!

Great class if you're interested in learning and developing as a person, not if you want a professor who teaches for the test. You learn critical thinking skills and learn establish your own beliefs and give reasons. Absolutely amazing class.

if you want an easy A dont take this class but he does only have you read parts of the bohm which is very nice. if you wanna learn about some greek and hebrew bake ground and the book of mormon take this.

Dr. Gantt is one of the best professors I've ever had at BYU. The class is not easy - you need to do all of the readings, and be able to critically think about the material and interact with him rather than just memorize facts. However, if you put in the effort and really think about what he's telling you, it can change your life.

Dr. Gantt will change your life. If you are going to school to be a follower, to get a grade, and to blend in with the rest of society this class is not for you. It's hard, it requires reading, pondering, and personal reflection. This class will make you into a person who wants their ideas to matter in the world. If this sounds like you, take it!

I LOVED this class! Loved his lectures and the reading. If you're not interested in Philosophy/Psychology it could be rough but even then the lectures are exciting and interesting

Hardest, most rewarding class I have ever taken in my four years at BYU. The work load is challenging, the papers are very difficult, and the reading is technical. Still, I learned more about critical thinking and careful writing in this class than any other class ever. Dr. Gantt really cares about his students and really pushes you to excel.

Yes, the class it challenging (just like any other college class). But if you're really interesting in pursuing psychology this is an amazing class to take. It really gives you perspective and insight into psychology as a science and teaches you to question the ideas modern psychology is based on.

This class literally changed my life. You will have to read a lot of difficult literature, and understand it very well to score high on exams, but if you invest the time and effort you will be rewarded with a good grade and incredible insights. His lectures are "old school", which some don't like, but since he is brilliant, they are brilliant also.

The lectures are so good. He is so interesting and the material is way cool. There is a lot of reading but it is interesting stuff to read if you like philosophy. I like Gantt's passion.

Dr. Gantt is an amazing professor. I love his lectures because he hardly ever uses power points, he just stands at the front of the class and talks. This class had a lot to do with philosophy and A LOT of reading, but it is still great! His lectures will inspire you and make you think, and think, and think about the things that he teaches.

After just over 4 years at this university, I finally had a class with from a professor who is worthy of the title. Gantt is simply amazing! His lectures are intense and make you think about things in really new ways. Amazing class, amazing professor! Totally changed my life and the way I think about things.

Gantt's class is mind-blowing. There is a ton to read and some of its tough and boring, but the lectures are great. He's very funny and makes really hard material easy to understand and definately knows his stuff. takes lots of questions and will meet outside of class to really talk about your ideas as well as the stuff from class.

Dr. Gantt was an inspirational teacher. The class feels like more of a philosophy course at first, but comes back around to psychology in the long run. There is a lot of assigned reading (about 2.5 hours worth before every class) and the tests are hard but if you put in the work then you will learn a lot.

Prof. Gantt is a good teacher and his lectures are humorous. The entire semester we learned about the philosophy of the history of psychology rather than the actual history. There was also a TON of reading (it was on AVERAGE about 80 pages a class period). If you like philosophy and teachers who teach without powerpoints, you will love this class.

SO. MUCH. READING. Unless you are a fast reader or have lots of time on your hands, take this class from someone else. I absolutely hated this class. It was philosophy the entire time, not psychology. Perhaps I am biased because I have no interest in philosophy, but his lectures were long and boring,

Take this class from Gantt! He is so passionate and not a typical boring history teacher. There are individual and group quizzes every week based on the readings, but they help you learn the material. Tests have a large written portion but aren't hard. Put in the time and you will do well. One of the best classes I've taken at BYU so far!

This class was one of the best and influential classes that I have ever taken. Dr. Gantt is truly a great professor. His lectures are kind of old school. He stands up in front of class which sounds pretty unattractive but he does it in a way that is so effective. This class is hard and requires a lot of work but it's worth it. Not an easy grade.

This is a MUST-TAKE class for any BYU student regardless of major! Dr. Gantt will absolutely change the way you view philosophy, life, and your religion. It is challenging but you will become a better student and a better person. Fascinating insights, passionate lectures, and funny jokes. Prepare to have your mind BLOWN!

Dr. Gantt is the best! His class is super hard, there is lots of reading and the group quizzes are kind of a pain. The tests are also difficult with lots of essay questions. But, it was the most mind opening and in-depth class I have taken. Definitely my favorite class I have taken so far at BYU. It's a tough one, but totally worth it.

This is the hardest class I have taken. There is LOTS of reading. Group and/or individual quizz almost every class, and they are HARD! That being said, Dr. Gantt is AWESOME! He will make you think. He really cares about the students and our learning. If you want to truly learn then take this class, very worth it! Skip you are looking for an easy A.

Not a Psych major. But the class was amazing. Great gospel perspectives on psychology that are applicable for life and not just for psychology. Really hard, lots of reading, hard tests, but well worth what is learned. As well, pretty funny guy.

Not sure what that last guy's problem was, but Dr. Gantt's class is amazing. By far the best class I've taken in 4 years at BYU. It should be mandatory for all psych majors (and even professors). the only class I took here that truly changed my life. Gantt rocks!

Dr. Gantt is an inspirational guy that changed the way I see the world. If you love psychology, philosophy, or history, then you'll enjoy the class. Beware, there is a TON of reading (50 pgs. a night) and the group quizzes are difficult. However, the tests, individual quizzes, and participation balance them out. This class is why I'm a psych major.

Group quiz, individual quiz, and tests are super hard. but Dr. Gantt is good man

Dr. Gantt is hilarious, lectures are interesting and engaging, and the material is really cool, but this is a HARD class. They were group/individual quizzes almost every class so you can't ever miss, plus 50+ pages of reading for each class. Tests are really hard as well. Go to TA reviews, form study groups, and take extensive notes on the reading.

The best class I've ever taken. Life altering perspectives are developed during the class.

Dr. Gantt is a very funny man, and an excellent professors. Many of his lectures had life-altering perspectives presented in them in a way that gave everyone a chance to develop their own perspectives while learning the content of the class. It's a hard class, lots of reading for each class period with quizzes, but well worth it.

Dr. Gantt is really amazing and his lectures are interesting, engaging, and eye-opening. But, this class is HARD. Tons of reading, group and individual quizzes almost every day, and tests take 4+ hours of essay writing. It's a frustrating class sometimes, but it's very interesting and if you're willing to work, worth the effort for what you learn.

This class was very hard, but very rewarding. Dr. Gantt is funny, friendly, super-intelligent, cares about his students, and is serious about the gospel. If you take this class you better be ready to read alot, but its really mind-altering stuff. One of the best classes I've had at BYU.

What an amazing class! I learned to really think deeply about my faith and science adn psychology. Dr. Gant is hilarious and super smart, he really pushes you to think outside the box. There is alot to read but even the hard stuff is really deep and thought provoking. not just LDS students in psychology but everybody should take this class.

Tons of reading!!! Awesome class that made me think like no class I've ever had before. Gantt has jokes, but he's also a very careful and logical thinker. His lectures move really fast so pay attention and you will learn a ton!!!

Professor Gantt's class was the most reading I've ever done. It was more than I believed was necessary at times, especially since there would be multiple passages covering the same topics, but pop quizzes would come from both. But, the Lectures were inspiring and the course was incredible! He's a logical and deep thinker and you'll learn so much!!

All psych student, you must take 211 from Prof. Gantt if you would like to understand the philosophical challenges that psychology faces. If you want to make a real difference in the world of psychology, start with Prof Gantt. (also take 353 and 311 from him, in that order).

Professor Gantt's class changed my perspective on psychology and religion. It was one of the best classes I've ever taken. Yes there is a lot of reading, but by the end of the semester I felt like I really understood everything. I would recommend going to the TA reviews, they explain things in a different way and prepare you for the test.

This might be the most useful class material and information that I have received and learned while attending BYU. I enjoyed this class. This might be the BEST psychology course you can take at BYU.

Professor Gantt is amazing. He is intelligent, and his lectures are engaging and hilarious. The downside of this class is the fact that there is 60-70 pgs of reading before class, and a "pop quiz" almost every single class. Exams have 16 essay questions and take about 3 hours. BEWARE! Take this if you wanna drown and lower your GPA :-)

Professor Gantt is really great, and I loved his lectures, but wow this class was hard. If you're not absolutely sure you want to study psychology, do NOT take this class, because it will wreck your gpa. This class is all about philosophy, so you better really like that

This class is not for the faint of heart, but it's also the most rewarding class I've taken at BYU. Dr. Gantt's lectures give you a different perspective on psychology and life in general. The papers are very difficult, but you'll become a better writer if you take them seriously. One of the only classes that will leave a mark after graduation.

It's a hard class, but he's a pretty incredible professor. He knows what he's talking about and the material is intellectually enhancing for sure. This class totally changed my perspective on psychology, gave me hope for being LDS while also having a successful psychology career and helped me narrow down my focus as a psychology major.

He knows his stuff for sure. Be prepared to read 100+ pages a week. Lectures are long and if you don't find philosophy interesting (yes, philosophy not psychology) it may be hard to stay awake. Tests are very extensive 2-4 hours and require several pages of writing. Hard class - I did well only because of the TA review sessions

Tough class, but honestly so worth it. If you work hard, you can get the grade you want. There's a lot of reading, but the material is fascinating so it's enjoyable. Gantt truly has a way of making you think. I looked forward to lectures because they were mind-blowing. Given I'm a psych major, but this was one of the best classes I've taken at BYU.

I've learned more from him than any other professor. His way of thinking about the world is infectious. He's very engaging, passionate, and at times polarizing; he doesn't mess around with what he teaches. His motto is "Ideas have consequences" and he will chase down ideas to within an inch of their lives. Expect lots of reading and philosophizing.

This class is very interesting and can change your perspective of psychology in a semester. It's not an easy class, you can't breeze by with doing the minimum amount of work- you have to actually put in effort and DO the readings for once. It's time consuming, but Dr. Gantt holds you accountable for your own learning and it pays of in the end!

Gantt is more than willing to help students, you just have to reach out. He pushes you to think & work hard--DO IT. You WILL pass if you do the reading and go to test reviews. Best professor I have ever had.

One of the most thought provoking classes Ive ever taken (and most relevant). The reading is extensive but interesting. Quizzes are tough but manageable. Dont take the class to get a good grade, take the class to LEARN

Best class I've ever taken. Dr. Gantt takes on difficult subjects head on without being a jerk or condescending. He really offers a new paradigm in which to see the world, the Gospel and psychology. The spirit was very strong in class and I still can't stop thinking about what I've learned. TAKE THIS CLASS

Not sure why anyone would rate Dr. Gantt or this class low. He is an amazing teacher who has super high standards and demands alot of students but cares so much about them and gives so much to the class. This class changed my life, the way I think about psychology, and the relationship I have with God and others. Totally worth the hard work!

This class will change your life, for real. However, please understand this is a hard class. Like really hard, I spent easily 12 hours a week outside class trying to understand the material. It was worth it in the end, and I highly recommend, but before taking Gantt's class make sure you have the time, because you will work your ass off.

Personality: Extremely thought provoking class and one of my favorites at BYU. The papers and summaries were tough, yet they helped me become a much better writer. Dr. Gantt really cares about the topics presented and is very willing to answer questions and meet after class to hash out ideas. Readings were very interesting too. TAKE THIS CLASS

This class has really changed my view of the world and I was able to gain an appreciation for the philosophers that helped to shape psychology. This class was not easy. There was a ton of reading, pop quizzes, and hard Exams. Dr Gantt may seem a little harsh before you get to know him, but he really cares and wants you to succeed in his class.

I learned a ton in this class! It is not an easy class, and part of the reason why is Dr. Gantt expects you to really learn from everything you are reading. Everything we talked about could apply to our lives in one way or another. I would recommend taking this class at the beginning of your psychology major!

Incredible class. Favorite I've ever taken. Honestly, on paper this a class I would not like. Lots of mandatory reading, group orientated and quizzes, but don't let that scare you. I just wanted to sit in the back and sleep, however, this became an incredible experience. Absolutely life-changing and 100% shaped how I view the world. Gantts amazing.

This is one of the best classes I have ever taken at BYU. Dr. Gantt is so knowledgeable, but so approachable and eager to help students. The class is really tough and theres tons of reading but his lectures are really great and inspiring. I cant wait to take another class from him.

I loved this class! Gantt's perspective should be the norm in the psych dpetartment. He takes the gospel seriously and shows how it makes such a difference for how we should be doing therapy and research. The papers are really har but the feedback and he and the tas are so willing to go the extra mile to help out. This class should be required!

Dr. Gantt is very clear that this won't be an easy class, but it's so worth sticking with it. I came into it thinking that I would hate it, but it ended up being my favorite class. There is a ton of reading but it's doable! Just stay on top of it. I learned so much from his class, I'd totally take it from him again.

This class was always my favorite part of the day! Dr Gantt makes boring old white dudes and their ideas interesting and relevant to current psychology and your life. Be prepared to work hard though, this class is not easy and does require lots of reading.

I know that Dr. G isn't everybody's favorite but I honestly can't see why. His classes have chnged my life. His classes are tough but doable if you put in the work and are willing to think a little bit deeper than most psychology classes or psychologists ever do. He caer so much about his students and their success that he is willing to push hard.

His class was really hard, but it was also really rewarding. The way I think about the world has changed and I'm so grateful for his class. My advice is to really soak in the lectures for your own benefit, but to get an A: do the readings, take notes in class, discuss with your quiz group, and attend every single review session before the test.

Your GPA will take a hit but you'll be a better psychologist if you take this class. Question is whether that's worth it to you. It should be.

This is my favorite class I've taken so far at BYU. It's a lot of work, but this professor makes the learning so interesting and he's hilarious! Definitely take this class if you like to learn!

it's clear prof. gantt really cares about his classes and knows what he's talking about. he puts in effort in his lectures and his tests aren't easy but they are fair for the most part. only warning i have is that there is a lot of reading and pop quizzes but besides that i really enjoyed the class

Dr. Gantt cares so much about his students. He teaches with the spirit and the lectures can make you a better person. Though there is a lot of reading and work it is all geared to make you more successful, none of it is unnecessary. I am SO thankful for him and this class.

Gantt knows what hes talking about and cares about his subject and students. Readings arent necessary if you go to class every day. No daily homework unless you do the reading. Lecture, not discussion, based class periods. The only things that count towards your grade are group quizzes, exams, and the final. Great guy; great class.

I really enjoyed this class. Be prepared to read and do the readings before every class to understand the lectures. Make sure to check for pop quizzes, but there are enough dropped that a couple of bad scores wont ruin you.

Professor Gantt was my favorite professor this past semester. He is deeply philosophical and cares deeply about the topics that he teaches. The entire course was deeply life-changing for me. I worked hard for this class, and it was worth it. DO THE READINGS, there are frequent pop quizzes before arriving to class. Tests are difficult but doable. :)

PSY 210 should be a mandatory class for all psych majors. This is a class that really expands your worldview and teaches you to become a better psychologist. The assigned readings might seem a lot, but they are definitely worth it and I plan to read them even after I finish the class. TAs are really really helpful and take your feedback seriously.

REQUIRES reading a 500+ page book & 27ish textbook chapters (sometimes 50+ pages), totaling about 1500+ pages of reading. No essays & the tests are EXTREMELY DETAILED surveys of this insane reading load. That said. If you accept/take the time, you will understand psychology in profundity and you will never see human experience the same again.

This class seriously changed my life, but it is a LOT of reading. Very interesting reading, but a lot of it. If you take notes and do all the readings, you will do just fine :)

The other good ratings are very accurate. This class is difficult, but if you put in the work it WILL be worth it! The philosophical/psychological readings are long, but I have found them to be pretty digestible and interesting! Dr. Gantt has forever changed the way I view psychology, and I will always be grateful for that. DO THE READINGS!!

PSYCH 353 should be required for any psych major who wants to live their life in the gospel of Christ! This class has brought me closer to Christ more than any religion class. If you love philosophy and thinking deeper than you ever have before, take this! I never missed class once because I was always excited to go. Take it!

I LOVED Dr. Gantt. He honestly changed the way I look at my life for the better. He is uplifting, inspiring, and hilarious. If you get a chance to take his class, DO IT, you won't be disappointed. If you do the readings, go to the lectures, and do the group quizzes you will do well in his class.

Doctor Gantt is an INCREDIBLE teacher, but the difficulty of work makes it difficult to love him. Lots of people here saying they got A's, but AVG grade in the class was around a B. Do all the reading for the quizzes, and work hard on group quizzes. Those kill your grade not the tests. And if your TA is a hard grader, get ready. Grade is on you tho

This class has easily been my favorite at BYU so far. Dr. Gantt is such a good teacher, and his lectures are so interesting, thought-provoking, and fun. I left this class with a different worldview than I came into it with. There is a lot of reading and the exams are hard, but it is so rewarding and so worth it, and the TAs are really helpful.

Not gonna lie, this class was hard. Lots of reading and lots of difficult ideas to figure out. Still, it was hands down the best class I have ever taken. Gantt is a fantastic teacher, truly cares about both his students and the ideas. His class changed the way I think about everythign. Totally mindblowing. Definitely hard but very, very worth it.

The most spritually enlightening and uplifting class I have taken a BYU. So much more intellectually and spiritually powerful than even my religion classes. Dr. Gantt is a great teacher, pushes you to think more deeply than ever about psychology and the gospel. Changed my life forever. Wsh this class was required of every psych major.

While I still disagree with Dr. Gantt on several topics (the definition of agency, God's love is conditional, we aren't keeping our baptismal covenants unless we preach the gospel as therapists), I did learn a lot in this class- things that I'll actually keep with me/apply throughout my life. Keep an open mind, but be open to disagreeing as well.

I am not a psychology major anymore, but I am so glad I took this class before I switched. Dr. Gantt teaches in a masterful way about the historical background behind modern thought in psychology. He teaches his beliefs and owns up to it. He really cares about what he does. Take this or look into his other class, LDS perspectives on psych.

This class is no joke: it is hard and time-consuming. However, it's completely worth it for the psychology credit. Dr. Gantt is a challenging professor and he will make his opinions known, but nowhere has he said that his word is law. Overall, he does want to see his students succeed, but he makes them put in the time, work, and effort to do so.

I love Professor Gantt! Reading heavy class (100+ a week). Quizzes(individual and group) every week and you'll need a good understanding of the reading. Books can be brought on Amazon pretty cheaply. Tests are a bit hard because everything builds and connects so review material constantly. Do a day section, evenings are a strain. TAs are amazing!

Honestly an amazing professor. You will learn in this class if you put in the work. If you need to take Psyc210, take it from Gantt!!! He knows a lot and is passionate about the subject. If you want to meet with him or the TA's outside of class they will make time for you. The tests are hefty but doable because of the study guides!

Great class, great professor, great lectures!!! While the class is heavy on philosophy it is NOT a philosophy class, everythig is about psychology and why it is the way it is right now. Ideas have consequences! Especially thos ideas we don't think about all the way through. tons of reading and the exams are tough but the class is so worth it.

Dr. Gantt is a great man! He is very passionate about the subject and has a ton a knowledge to share. The class can be quite overwhelming at times and it was difficult adjusting the amount of reading required. There are frequent pop quizzes and group projects throughout the semester. Much of your time for this class will be spent reading.

Gantt is amazing! this class was amazing. The lectures blew my mind almost everyday. There is a ton of reading assigned, but its manageable and its worth it. Dr. G is so inspirational, he is always making connectonis with the gospel. Lots of deep thinking about psychology in this class, not just its history.

This was easily the most important and spiritually uplifting course I've taken at BYU. More psy classes should be like this. The lectures are deep and really make you think about what you know about psychology and the gospel. Dr. G is an amazing teacher and the 2+ hours in class seems to go by so fast every time. This class saved my testimony.

I enjoyed Professor Gantt's course. Although it was daunting at first, if you stay on top of things you will be just fine. There is a lot of reading, pop quizzes, and group quizzes. However, there are extra credit opportunities. Professor Gantt and the TAs will help you succeed, and Dr. Gantt's lectures are inspiring and informative.

Dr. Gantt is amazing!!! I love every single lecture. The class is hard because exams are very detailed. However, if you pay attention in the lectures + go to the TAs review is 100% doable. There are weekly group quizzes and pop quizzes (but you can find out the pattern and be prepared for them). Not an easy A.

Professor Gantt has easily been one of my favorite professors, he knows how to listen to his students and really cares about what he teaches. He is very active when it comes to your learning and inspires all his students to raise the bar in their own education. This is a hard but rewarding class. Dr. Gantt's way of teaching is lecture-based.

Dr. Gantt is the most intelligent professor I've had at BYU. I enjoyed his approach to the history of psychology, but I doubt everyone will. If you don't enjoy deep thinking, it might be tough. Lots of reading, 6ish group quizzes, and many pop quizzes. Tests weren't too difficult - the TA's provided great study guides. Get a study partner and read!

One of the smartest people I have taken a class from. There is a lot of reading so be prepared for that. Quizzes and tests can be tough so make sure to utilize the TA's and you should be alright.

I think every class at BYU should be taught like this class. He involves the gospel in every aspect of the class, and the subject material is engaging and mind expanding. Best class I've taken

Such a great class! Helped me solve some real problems I had figuring out the relatoinship between secular psychology and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Long evening class (2 1/2 hrs) but so worth it. Take this class!

Best class I have taken in college. Reading heavy but the lectures are really good and Dr Gant really cares about students and is very inspirational.

I have taken several classes from Dr. Gantt and I have loved all of them. His classes are pretty hard (lots of reading), but if you are interested in taking religion seriously in psychology (or any other profession), he helps you articulate coherent arguments for why it can and should be allowed. Changed the way I see the world

I loved this class!! Professor Gant made learning about psych really interesting and spiritual. He criticizes psychology alot and sometimes gets really philosophical but that was what i liked the most. Almost every class had a spiritual element to it too. Not a psych major but would take another class from him 10/10.

Dr. Gantt is a very interesting lecturer, but literally anything he says in class can be in the exam or on the weekly pop quizzes. There are multiple group essays and they are really nitpicky about grading those. Exams and everything are all proctored on learning suite and overall it just felt like he was doing too much for a 100 level class.

Professor Gantt is brilliant, but his class is no easy A. Lots of reading and tough exams. However, the TAs are super helpful, and tools like Unstuckstudy ai can make study prep a breeze. Put in the work and you'll learn a ton.

Take this class!!! Gant is an amazing professor and does such an amazing job helping people figure out how to navigate the assumptions of secular psych and the teachings of the restored gosple. Get ready to do soem deep thinking, but also get ready to have your testimony strengthened and be inspired every class. Sooooo good!!!

Dr. Gantt is such a great professor. If you want to take a class from him to get an easy A, you should pick another professor. There is a lot of reading and many quizzes on such reading. He is quick to relate things to the gospel and his testimony. He is so kind and is ready for questions from students. The TAs were also super helpful.

He teaches very well and ties things into the Gospel frequently and well. He cares about his students and is motivated by helping them eternally. Teaches about truth that can change your perspective. Half of his lectures have a PowerPoint, half are just him talking. Weekly groups quizzes. Potential online pop quiz the morning before each class.

I loved Gantt's lectures. I have ADHD and it's really hard for me to focus in class but Gantt is AMAZING. Every lecture is so engaging. I will admit that the readings are long, and there are a LOT of them but most of them are really interesting and it all ties together. Gantt is such a kind person and he just loves psychology!

Lectures could be long and dry sometimes and there are random pop quizzes plus group quizzes throughout the semester. Tests can be a little long, but there aren't any essays or additional assignments due outside of the quizzes and exams. Pro. Gantt cares about all of his students though

I can see why a lot of people wouldn't like his class, but for me, this was probably the best class I have and will ever take at BYU. Yes, there's a lot of reading, but I always thought it brought up really interesting ideas and honestly, it really wasn't that bad or that hard.

Super incredible class and lectures, I learned a ton and gained new perspectives. It's just very test-heavy. The only assignments are reading quizzes and tests. Tests are strangely hard and the final has a 50 point essay question. Based on mainly philosophical content, so difficult to study for.
