He doesn't know what he is talking about - can't even answer questions in class

Very unorganized, very difficult tests

Notes are not relevant to test. Harder then it has to be.

outside of one a 94 and 90, the next higest score was a 74!!!!!!! half failed!!

When asked about 1st test in PSY his answer: 1/2 of you will fail. Nice, Huh?

Took it twice. Very hard & willing to help. You will learn APA writing format.

If you are in this class-GET OUT! Tests are impossible for an A.

Horrible. Impossible. Waste of money. Learned nothing. Avoid while you can!!

great guy, extremely interesting. Tests are huh? Entertaining, funny

impossible! the tests are ridiculously hard! stay for away from this class!

This class is nothing like you expect it to be and class isn't organized.

Unorganized and hard to know what to study for. No structure to class. Nice guy.

Don't bother. This guy is totally egotistical. Tests very hard. Loves the attention from the students who try to learn something from him.

I would say that he is the worst prof at GV. I am an A student and got a C- and I don't know how I managed that. RUN! He is awful! And he is VERY opinionated!

I didn't not like this man! It was very unorganized. Half the time he didn't even know what he was talking about. I don't like Professors that push their Radical Liberal ideas on me! Don't take classes with him! I barely passed with what I needed!

He was the worst prof. I ever had! I nearly failed the class and I attended every lecture and did all of the reading. Be afriad to voice your opinion, he will shoot you down! Worst Class EVER!

This class is ridiculous, its a theme class for goodness sake. His tests are unreal and half the class is failing. He doesn't care. And then he gives you all of this extra credit to do, but its only worth two points. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! Worst Prof.

The class was not hard, but he made it unbearable. His lectures did not make it worth the time to go to class, but if you memorize the entire book you will be fine. AND ASK FOR HELP WITH THE PAPER

HORRIBLE!..DO NOT TAKE...that is all I have to say. Likes giving out F's and has no problem doing so. I got a C- out of the class, but I was really unclear on his grading...Worst class ever!

Yuck! If you like structure in a class dont take this prof. You really have to work hard and teach yourself the material. Very unclear on what he is looking for as far as the paper and every time you go ot talk to him all he says is "keep working on it" and "Dont worry". Very understanding though.

Devil Man. If u aren't a PSY major, dont take this class. he's super hard and expects u 2 spend way 2 much time on a theme class. grades SUPER hard and tests will make your brain bleed. nice guy, but lecture is very unclear and hard to follow. only take if you are a PSY major. thank god for the project

He was horrible. I failed his first test and I came to class every day and studied! Avoid him if possible.

I do not recommend him.

Nice guy, very unclear about expectations. The paper = nightmare and both in-class exams became take-home projects. He assumed that everyone had a thorough up-to-date knowledge of PSY 300 and of publishing in general. If you can't write a publisher-ready thesis before you take this class, you certainly won't be able to after taking it.

Willing to work with you outside of class, not the most proficient at BB or online but will make an effort if thats the only way that you can meet with him. He is unclear about expectations and whats going to be on the exam, but I found the material and readings (aside from the first) very interesting. Good class to take credit/no credit

I feel bad saying this because he's a really nice guy, but the class was terrible. He's really unclear on expectations, and likes to talk about stuff not related at all to psychology in class, but then still expect you to know everything for the exams. I would take another prof if you can.

He is a very nice man however this a class that if i could go back in time I would stop myself from taking. I'm glad that it's over and I don't have to deal with that bs anymore. He never really told us what he wanted from us and that screwed the whole class over

He's a nice person, but a terrible professor. He doesn't answer emails very often, and if he does, it's too late, so don't depend on him getting back to you by email. In fact, just don't take him at all if you can avoid it. The class average near the end of the semester was a D+ and the class averaged a 58% on one exam if that's any indication.

Horrible horrible class. It's too bad he's the only one who taught it when I needed it. He is nice like everyone else says, but don't let that fool you, he is a horrible horrible grader. Acts like he wants to help, but is impossible to please. Good Luck, you need it! I did worse on his first test than I have in any other class ever!!

Do yourself a favor, don't take this class. Professor is unrealistic. TONS of reading, most of which is never used, but gives no guidelines or expectations. Lectures are mostly a waste of time, he goes through 5 powerpoint slides max, and you are never tested on this information. Unapproachable and unhelpful.

Make sure you do all the extra credit opportunities he provides! His exams are tricky but you can still get a decent grade if you do extra credit. This class may be a good option for pass/fail especially if it is for your theme.

This is a horrible professor. He is offensive, dismissive, and unclear in his teaching. Do not take him especially if you do not understand statistics very well. He is awful at explaining it. He just writes formulas down on the board without explaining how he got the numbers. He is funny though. It is difficult to set up appointments with him.

I don't want to be too mean because he's a really nice guy but he grades really hard & expectations aren't very clear. Attendance isn't madatory, but you'll be lost if you miss a class. 3 cummulative exams and 1 7-10 page research paper, heavy on statistics.

WORST PROFESSOR EVER! Do not take! Very unclear as to what he wanted out of us. helpful if you went to his office hours but in class seems very confused and we neevr really went over anything new until he tried craming all of it in the last week. Tests are extremel hard! My whole class was just hoping for a C to pass the SW. DO NOT TAKE!!

He is a good guy but a horrendous prof. The amount of reading he assigns is unrealistic. (There was one 10 question quiz that required over 300 pages of reading!)He is extremely unclear about what he wants for papers and take home exams. If you plan on missing a class, expect to be totally in the dark.

Awful professor. Everything on here is spot on. This should have been a political science class because he rarely connected to psychology, but ALWAYS connected to politics. Clearly liberal &often mocked conservatives. I wasted an elective on this class and struggled the entire semester. Definitely not useful for a psychology majorminor, stay away!

Extremely unclear when it comes to assignments. Assigns an unrealistic amount of reading. This isn't a psychology class, just a basic overview of how the media works. If you've taken social psych you won't learn anything new. Takes twenty minutes to explain a very simple topic, always relates everything back to politics, not psychology.

Took this class because I took a media and sociology class, so I thought this class would be interesting, too. To my surprise, this class turned into a political science class. NO PSYCHOLOGY ANYWHERE. I was hanging by a thread the entire class. If you love politics, this class is a go. If you love psychology, stay away!

Constantly changing his mind about what he wants. No specific guidelines/unorganized. Grades like you're a professional and know exactly what you're doing. Gives feedback but changes his mind right after. Nice person but doesn't realize we're only students and that this is a class and we're still learning.

He really doesnt do much to help you get a good grade. The criteria for every single paper is very unclear. Including the tests. You pretty much have to be in class cuz thats the only way youll know what will be on the test. Take good notes because you will never pass if u dont. Make sure u read everything too. Overall, I wouldnt take him.

He will grade you VERY toughly and you will never receive in written words anywhere of what he expects in each project. You will not receive feedback on anything even if marked down. Does not teach what you are expected to learn from this class. AVOID at all costs. The one positive is that he will respond to all emails promptly and is accessible.

he is a super nice guy, but the class was overall kind of confusing. the setup of the class was also confusing. he is very much willing to help you or answer questions, but this was my most confusing/hardest class this sem.

Very unclear what this guy wants from you in practically every area of this class, especially assignments. No where is it written in words what he wants/expects from you on assignments. Tough.

This is an honest review. He is very nice, very willing to help if you show him you care a little, but is very unclear in his assignments, papers, and sometimes even exams. Its hard to understand what he wants from you, that being being said he is more then willing to help vis zoom or email. Very frustrating class to be in tho...

Nice person, terrible professor. I have never been more confused in my LIFE. I honestly think that if I had gotten a better professor I'd probably be doing a lot better in his class right now. He does give good feedback, but only sometimes. Other times it might just confuse you even more to ask for help. I'm sorry if you end up with him tbh...

He's nice at first but makes for a mess of a professor. If you ask him Qs he will go down a rabbit hole and not answer what you're asking. He does not make an effort to prepare students for his quizzes/papers/exams. He lazily relies on 1 semester-long group project where you're stuck at the level of the lowest achiever with no way out. avoid

Loved his personality, but he was a really bad professor. His syllabus was super disorganized, his "lectures" were YouTube videos that he didn't even make, and he would take off points for literally everything. This class was the hardest class I've ever taken, and it definitely didn't need to be that way. Take someone else for the sake of your GPA.

I love prof H-King as a person, not so much as a professor. If executed correctly this could have been a super interesting class, instead I feel like I've barely learned anything. Unfortunately he is the only prof who teaches this class- if you NEED to take this class its not unbearable, but if you don't need it, I would find another one.

WAY too much reading to do, super high expectations, does not give good feedback. He is a great person but do not expect to get anything worthwhile back from him, you're on your own. Its a toss up what your grade is most of the time and he wont ever be happy with what work you give. He does offer extra credit though which helps your grade somewhat.

He's a very nice guy but TOUGH grader!! He nitpicks every little thing when he doesn't even give clear directions. If you need structure, organization and clear instructions like I do, I would avoid this class if possible. The semester-long group project is also a big part of your grade so definitely spend lots of time on that.

Very kind and funny, but an awful professor. I've been in college for years, and I have never encountered a prof or class like this. I've never been so lost. Directions are horribly unclear, and he grades very harshly, despite not telling you what he wants in the first place. Genuinely didn't learn a thing. Love the guy, but this class was not it.
