Eric Legge is a beauty. He always asks students for feedback on exams and will make improvments for the next one. His tests consist of multiple choice, fill in the blanks, and long answer. The latter two he allows you to chose a specific number of questions you're comfprtable with answering. the class averages for both midterms were about 75%

Best prof, actually cares about students. After first mid term, grades were below expectation so on the next one he made it a bit easier. If you listen to him in lecture you should get free marks from top hat. (10% i think) Exams are based on lecture and some exclusive textbook question, but are really straight forward and easy. Funny guy too

Eric is incredibly laid back and approachable. I never felt alienated or nervous about participating, and he never made me feel like my questions were stupid. Some of the drier concepts were made better by his humour. Top Hats were very helpful for midterm content and helped to gauge how I was doing in terms of grasping content. Recommended.

Psych104 is a hybrid course, so you go to class once a week to do a group activity (which is for marks) and then take quizzes online. He makes the once a week class interesting, and is available to asks questions. You basically teach yourself all of the content because it's hybrid, but he was a good, clear prof to have.

i had him for winter term and he was absolutely amazing! he gave plenty of examples that helped me get a thorough understanding of many concepts. i never hesitated to ask him questions. his exams were easy. just know that having a textbook handy is the best idea if you're not regular in attending his lectures

cool guy, went through slides that were posted during class. gave study guides for each midterm and the final as well. he used real life examples to further explain what he was teaching which was interesting and helped with learning the information.

This Prof was very knowledgeable and very fun to learn from. Tests were great and you get a study guide before every test. Lectures were awesome. Easy to talk with. No projects or assignments. Awesome class! Would recommend!

Really thorough during lectures and has lots of examples that are helpful. He's funny and tries to relate to the students and makes jokes. Really lecture heavy but posts presentations online. 3 non-cumulative exams make up the whole grade with 6% participation marks so make sure you study. Review material is thorough and helpful.

Unfortunately, I had to retake this class for the second time after doing poorly. Honestly, both experiences have been highly frustrating. The professor doesn't teach anything; you purely learn from the textbook, and everything is online except three midterms, but he gives 0 review guides for any of them.

LOVE HIM! Took Psych104 with him and Chris Streimer, couldn't recommend it more! Take this class you wont regret it. Straight forward, GPA booster. Graded only on 3 midterms and research participation (online or in person you choose). All slides posted online and creates study guides for each midterm. 1000/10

Eric is a great prof! I took his class with Prof. Chris Streimer, and it was terrific. I loved the lectures, they were great at answering questions and at providing examples. Would recommend!

Took this class with him and Dr. Striemer and both draw students in easily with their humour. The slides provided are detailed and straightforward, however there are a lot of them so you must review as often as everyday to do really good on the exams. The exams are pretty easy if you know the content well. Highly recommend taking this class.

When I first heard Dr. Legge lecture, my jaw dropped in amazement at his teaching ability. His PowerPoint presentations are thoughtfully composed, he never gets sidetracked, he does an excellent job unpacking complex concepts, and he engages the class wonderfully. He's also very personable--I had great discussions with him during his office hours.

Literally such an easy class, most of the tests were based off the textbook, but slides were useful as well. I work full time so I wasn't able to make it to all the classes but towards the end of the term I was still maintaining an A+ because everything Is provided to you as well as a lengthy study guide. The slides do have a a lot of information.

avoid class at all costs, unless you want to teach yourself everything. This was supposed to be an online course but he had all of the exams mandatory in person. Overall do not recommend.

Perfect class for those who love to learn and want to apply it to their field. It's all about understanding, not memorizing. I watched lectures and then read the textbook while making flashcards. The prof gives hints for short answers, and the textbook feels like chatting with a friend. A great self-study online course!

Exam heavy, nit-picky and difficult to understand. No study guides, lecture slides are minimal and don't help. You're expected to remember the entire textbook. It was overwhelming and doesn't feel like you're being set up for success. The rating seems to be boosted from him which is unfair when wanting honest feedback in choosing your classes.

This course is self-directed, but it's by no means difficult. The textbook is your teacher, and it's an exceptionally good one. Just read it and take notes as you go. That said, class averages were quite low and Dr. Legge was absent (neglectfully so), which doesn't seem to bode well for most. If you're self-sufficient, though, you'll excel.
