While the concepts in class can be technical and in depth, he goes out of his way to explain it until everyone gets it. He has a way to make the hardest concepts easy to grasp, and uses plenty of visual aid to help. You can really tell he cares about his students and wants them to do well. I got a 100% in the 1st exam and a 96% on the 2nd! Good guy

Amazeen expects you to study, simple. Read after or before class, start studying for the test a week in advance. Like any advanced science course. I got a little lazy so I got a B+, but that's not his fault. Some tricky test questions, but if you actually study psych majors you can do it. As a double major, the hardest psych course.

Dr. Amazeen is a great guy and gives informational lectures. My problem with this class in particular was the way he graded the essays, the feedback was not helpful and seemed to be biased. He set up our class similar to regular PSY 101 class as far as lectures go, however, the honors course had extra papers, discussions, and revisions of essays.

Dr. Amazeen was a fair professor with clear, easy expectations. 4 Exams, all 40 multiple choice. Show up to lectures and listen and you will get an A. Interesting stuff that also helped me do some self reflection. My roommate is in his honors course and says its AWFUL and WAY HARDER though. Only wish he would actually respond to an email for once!

The attendance is iclicker and location based, so tbh I only really attended one class since iclicker is easy to work around. He's super chill and only has about 4 exams which use lockdown browser but are open note and open book, and online notes are permitted to use during the exam so that kinda defeats the point ngl.

If you are doing PSY101, please take it with Professor Amazeen. The assignments and LearningCurves are incredibly easy, not much time at all. Also, he is incredibly accommodating, so reach out to him and he will be able to meet your needs. He is very helpful, and it is nearly impossible to get less than 100% on hw. Quiz is also open notes as well

Professor Amazeen is so understanding of individual circumstances and genuinely so kind. All of the information on exams and quizzes are from lecture and the textbook, no trick questions. His lectures are actually interesting too! I actually want to show up to class. All tests are open note, he wants you to learn not just regurgitate info.

He was a great teacher. 10/10 recommend. Super laid back and accommodating. I barley went to class but would have to walk by during class to check into clicker because attendance was a good portion of our grade. Tests were lockdown but he allowed our phones or another device to access notes.

Worst professor I've had so far in college. Please do NOT take him or at least not his honors course (you have zero choice since you're randomly assigned). He gives horrible grades on writing with no useful feedback and grades harsher than any English class I've taken in college (which idk why, it's a 101 course). He favors certain students.

Professor Amazeen was very laid back and kind. The class was basically just about finishing the LearningCurve homework (which is super easy), doing the iClicker (easy to work around), and being prepared for the lockdown exams (which you are allowed to use another device for notes). Easy class, and lectures are interesting if you pay attention.

Dr. Amazeen's PSY 101 class is mainly lecture-based. You must be present in class for your "participation" grade. This course is relativity easy; it primarily consists of a lot of busy work that is supposed to help you on the open note tests. My recommendation is to take notes on the main concepts and terms, and you should do fine on the exams.

PSY101 with Dr. Amazeen was one of the easiest course I took this semester. As long as you do your work and show up to class, you'll pass. 75% of your grade is homework and quizzes, which you can retake till you get a 100%. The rest of the 25% are 4 exams, including the final, which are all open-note and open-book, but you only get one attempt.

His class is easy. I've heard from one rating not to take his honors course. I'm not sure about the honors class, but take the non-honors one 75% of your grade is essentially free points (HW, quizzes, attendance), which you can retake till you get a 100% on it The rest of the 25% is 4 exams (including the fina;) which are open-note and open-book

Easy honors credit. 4 exams (40 MC questions and 5 free response) + 8 papers (must attend TA workshops to get above 80). Slides published on Canvas. Easy points through discussion boards and completing the online readings. Lots of work but just stay on top of it and it's an easy A. Tests are open note but need to be prepared.

Dr. Amazeen is probably my most favorite professor till date. I loved his lectures and his grading policy was amazing. All assignments (homework, test review, ect) can be retaken till you get a 100% and are worth 75% of your grade. The rest of the 25% is a four easy open-note, open-book tests. As long as you do your work, you will pass the class.

He is a great professor that shows clear passion about the material. He explains the topics very well and in an easy-to-understand way. There is weekly homework but is very lenient on the due dates. As long as you take notes and study before the exams, you will be fine. He is very easygoing and cares for his students despite the large class size.

During his lectures, you can tell that Professor Amazeen knows what he is talking about and cares very much about it. His lectures are very fun to attend but aren't necessarily mandatory. He holds fun experiments during lectures and if you take the honors contract for the class it is rather easy (only a discussion post once a week).

Great guy who wants his students to succeed. Grade is made up of weekly online quizzes that are open note and can be taken as many times as you wish. There are a few tests that are at home on the lockdown browser, but they are open notes! Helpful review days before the tests. The lowest test gets dropped, which includes the final.
