The man is great I wish he taught more psy classes he is very easy. Just read the book and take the quizzes and thats it I ended up with a high A in the class.
I professor is really easy. This course was the easiest A I have ever gotten. I love the course there was no assignments just quizzes and exams which were all based on the book. I recommend this class and professor to anyone that has to take it or needs an elective.
This professor is awesome! if you have a chance to take him DO IT!!! his class is so much fun! hes a reallt nice guy and he his way of teaching is great! he will do anything he can to help you get an A. as cheesey as it sounds, he makes comming to class fun and interesting. you really do learn alot in his class. Must take (:
Dr. Model is awesome but here's some advice. If you want to have fun while learning than take his class "in class" and not online. His in class is harder than his online but he makes it worth it. His online is super fair, straight forward, more work, and very very book based. Online is not hard if you keep up but not "fun" like his normal classes.
Great class but it was more worth it just to see his hypnotism show. Beg him to do it as he doesn't always. TOO funny.
really good
he is the best ever he made me really enjoy coming to school he gave positive reinforcement and he nice and funny. just make sure to take notes he has in the power point and STUDY its easy to study just lots of info to remember dont slack and youll have an amazing experince best class i have ever had!! everyone should take his class learned lots !!
he's soooo amazing, i love him
Took this class online. 2 quizzes per week per chapter. Every 3 chapters there is a mid-term. Professor Model is very helpful. I would take him again.
is such a good professor...he makes class interesting and fun and it really just flies by. The way he teaches with his funny stories makes things easy to remember. Just study his notes and you will do fine. Awesome proffessor!
Great guy. Lots of notes. Easy A if you stay on top of things. After each class turn all notes into flash cards and learn them. Everything on tests come from your notes. No need to buy book. No homework other then studying. 3 tests and one paper all semester.
Great Professor!!!!Makes class interesting, fun and entertaining.He is very approachable if you ever need help. His stories are funny and very helpful.
I took this class online; he's an awesome professor and class wasn't hard. If you have a chance to take him ***go fo it***
Laughed lots, learned lots and took lots of notes. A very invested prof and a good overall class.
He is a funny good professor, You enjoy his class and its not boring at all. if you want to learn, then take him,but there is a warning, if your slow is school or just started school, then you can fail his class cuz you study A LOT, and Iam not just saying a lot, its A LOT if your slow like me
Eric Model is seriously AWESOME! SOO interesting! Take this class you wont regret it!!!! I PROMISE :)
Great professor! Study and you will do well! Remember his little stories, they may come in handy! And yes if he was not married I think a lot more females would be excited about his class!
Class was fun and interesting. I loved his stories.
He's the best. There's no homework, or quizzes of any sort. Your only homework is to stay the notes from his classes--if you do you'll do great on his test. Remember his story's (they help when on test) and attendance is not mandatory but if you don't you'll lose important notes for the test--which he doe's not give again after taught. He's great!
I agree, he is the best! But the last review is wrong, attendance is mandatory and he will pull you aside if you are in trouble (as I learned). And as he would say, your homework is to "study" and he means it! If you abide by his policies you will love his class.
Ok! What a fun guy to learn from hands down the best Prof I have ever taken. No bull straight to the point and has a great doing so.He always comes to class 100% and motivated to teach you. Lots of great stories you can relates to the material you are learning. He is very helpful and will answer any question he can. Only has 5 tests and 1 paper.
Prof. Model is by far the best professor I have taken at Valencia. His class is a lot of fun and he makes you want to attend! His tests are 70q and they are CAKE if you study his notes. First test is the hardest, the rest are a breeze. Take his class, you will enjoy it!
One of the Best classes i have ever had. He teaches Gen Psy & Dev. Psy. He never gives Homework and his lectures are so much fun. But you need to attend class and take notes to pass. Book is a waste of money. Everything you need is in the notes. And make friends with other classmates because he will not email you notes. Only rule--- S-T-U-D-Y!!!!!
No homework, 4 tests & 1 paper... and a final that you can dodge if you get a 75% on the first 3 tests. Prof. Model makes class fun and the lessons enjoyable. Attending class is a must since you have to take notes but his tests are easy and they require minimal studying in my opinion to achieve a good grade. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
took online had 2 quizes every week every third week was an exam (150 question) only. lots of reading but really easy if you read the chapter. Nothing is timed. Highly recommened professor model. easy A. may sound like a lot of work but its manageable.
he is awesome. he makes it really interesting. you have to study a lot, and take lots of notes, so you cant miss class at all. he is worth it, best psych teacher ever!
Eric is the most awesome professor ever!!!! He is the kind of teacher I wish I had in high school, he actually cares about teaching. Absolutely no homework 3 tests 1 final which you can opt out of and 1 paper. You must study, study, study and you will do great in that class. I recommend the use of flash cards as a study aid. TAKE HIM!!!!!
Dr. Model is the best teacher I have ever had! I was excited to go to his class everyday. He makes all of his lectures interesting and relates them to our lives with stories. 4 exams and 1 paper(which is extremely simple) I loved his class so much I took developmental psychology for fun. If you dont take his class, your loss. OH! and a hypnosis sho
I took his class online, and I could have gotten a better grade if I actually read the text. He gives 2 quizzes every week and every 4 weeks is one exam. You can have your book open on your lap while doing both assignments but I highly suggest you read the text first. I wish I did! I've heard he's a great prof. in class too. I highly suggest him!
This is one of the best professors I have ever had in education. He is so stimulating and uproarious with his lectures you cant but help to participate and pay attention. Take all notes from power point and lectures. STUDY!!! Most tests come from notes and lectures. You will not be sorry as long as you know the material. Just like any other fun col
He was awesome and funny. If u want to learn and have fun take Dr Model. He is By far the best psy prof on campus. Take his class
Study after every class and u should pass his class with a easy A because the men is awesome but if u dont study then just plan on being screwed.
I took both Gen psy and Dev psy with Dr. Model and Dev Psy is still fun but definitely harder than gen. He does however continue telling stories and class was still fun.
Best Teacher in the world and a fantastic guy, Classes are fun and interesting. Not only is he a amazing prof, but he helped me through a really hard time when my gf left me mid semester and then my grandad passed away, he was there for me. He gets the class going and hes always good for a laugh. You would be an idiot not to take his class :)
Prof. Model is by far the best ever! Classes are interesting and fun. I can sometimes get lazy and I NEVER missed one class. If you copy ALL the notes and STUDY you should easily pass the class. Tests are not easy,lets say they are somewhat tricky, yet fun! He is very helpful and always wants the best for his students! He is the best and cute too!
Best teacher Ive ever had. Makes you think and LEARN! Class is SUPER fun and entertaining! you MUST STUDY STUDY STUDY. if u do it easy if not dont count on passing. dont let the studying part scare you away his class is really great i wish he taught every subject lol
I took Schorsch for Dev.Psych since Model was teaching fast track in the summer term and I regret it (BIG TIME). Dr. Model is a beast, he will split your skull and put the information to your head. GREATEST PROF. EVER. I MEAN IT. Gotta study though, It is not an easy course. HE IS SO GOOD VALENCIA SHOULD DO AN ANALYSIS OF HIS TEACHING. PEACE.
Eric is an awesome teacher! i had bought my book n the first day of class he told us he didnt use the book. I have him for flex start, he only gives 3 tests and a paper..his tests are really easy but you HAVE TO study!! I highly recommend his class! (if you take his reg. class if you get 80+ on his 3 tests you dont have to take the final!)
Took him for dev pysch. Freaking best teacher i've ever had. I looked forward going to class. He tells hilarious stories relating to the material and makes sure you really understand everything. No homework, but tests are hard so study. Fantastic teacher.
He is the best teacher I have ever had. I think he might just be an angel.
He gives way to many notes NO STUDY GUIDE as what will be on test. I think he thinks way to highly of himself as he thinks class time were at a bar with his friends. You must study hours just to pass the class and if you go talk to him he will tell you it?s your fault you are doing bad in the class and offer no tips.
His class is so easy and he makes it so much fun. Yeah he gives a lot of notes but the way he teaches, it's easy to remember. He usually gives about 4 chapters for each test but it really isn't that bad. If you get an average of a B on his 3 tests, you don't have to take the final. Overall, this class is amazing. Have fun!!
This class was awesome. Yes there are notes but anyone saying he doesn't care or won't help has obviously never approached him. He sat in his office and literally tested me for hours to help me.
Why are these people are complaining? He is very reasonable and understanding. His lectures are funny and interesting b/c he uses his real experiences. The notes ARE the test. Even if you didn't study, the tests aren't hard anyway. There's no homework and 3 tests. If you do well on these 3 tests, the final is optional. That sounds good to me.
You can see he loves being a professor and wants you to enjoy his class. I cannot understand anyone saying he won't help. He states what his class will be and does what he says, so pretty fair in my book (not hard either).
A great class, a great prof and a great semester of Psyc. Would take again for any class.
Good teacher, He does favor students test are right from the notes makes class intersting. I am taking him again.
Being an older student I feel objective in saying Dr. Model's class is fantastic. He was enthusiastic, caring, funny, and a great teacher. He likes those who participate but never requires it and made me want to succeed in his class. A+
I took this class online but he seems like a sweetheart. The class is 2 quizzes per week and a long (long) exam every 4th week. He sends out lots of reminders, responds to emails within a day (or so) and when an exam got stuck he reset and re-opened it for me. He was also super nice when I called his office for help with questions.
Any class that I laugh in while taking is a good class. Lots of notes, study and tests are easy (must study). Funny stories to help you learn and you can opt out of final if you do well on term exams.
DR. MODEL IS THE BEST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD. HIS CLASS IS SO INTERESTING AND FUN. HE USES REAL LIFE STORIES AS EXAMPLE. I RECOMMAND HIM TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO TAKE PSYCH. HE IS GREAT AT TEACHING.HE DOESN'T USE THE BOOK; HE USES POWER POINT. BE PREPARED TO TAKE LOTS OF NOTES. THERE IS A PAPER DUE AT THE END

3 tests each 70 questions all verbatim from notes. No txtbk needed, just a pen and paper to write all the notes. You will need to study and memorize everything! But it's not as hard as it seems. I recommend making flash cards and quizzing with a friend. 1 6-7 pg term paper. Can opt out of final exam if you have @ least an 80% average. Funny prof.
Greatest prof. I ever had. Extremely funny, teaches through life experiences. He makes class very interesting with his stories. There is alot of notes, but as he says SSSSTTTUUUDDDYYY!!!! and you be fine, can opt out of final if you avg. 80% in class. Just 3 tests and final. I recommend to all
Excellent. Long online tests but great class.
By FAR THE best professor I've ever taken. Taken BOTH General Psych and Dev Psych and classes are easy, NO homework just "STUDYY." Stories are true, funny, and relate to notes. NO textbook, just take notes everyday. Usually get out 5-10 minutes early. 1 paper due at the end of semester to apply what you learned. BEST CLASS EVER! I WILL DEF MISS IT
GREAT teacher! All the work is from his powerpoints. GO TO CLASS and take all of his notes and u will do fine. If u cant pass his class then u are not ready for life. Trust me, you will want to go to class. He makes it fun and very interesting.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
He is amazing! Very funny and easy to relate. There are 3 test, and 1 essay. If you get an 80 average for the 3 test, your final is exempt! Best part? The test are based on the powerpoints. All you have to do is copy the notes, put them on index cards, study, and volia! Easy A! Highly recommend!
What can I say, he really is awesome. I wanted to be in class, he was funny while still teaching and I felt like I learned something. By far my favorite class at Valencia. And yes you do need to STUUUUUUDY!
WAT CAN I SAY THAT EVERYONE HAVEN'T SAID??HE'S A REALLY REALLY GOOD TEACHER!!HE TELLS U STORIES THAT ARE REALLY ENTERTAINING. HE'S JUST REALLY REALLY COOL. HE'S PRETTY CLEAR ABOUT THE WORK. HE HAS A MIDTERM, A FINAL N A PAPER! PROBABLY ANOTHER TEST BUT IF U GET OVER 80 ON IT U DONT HAVE TO TAKE THE FINAL! PIECE OF CAKE!!U'LL LOVE HIM!!!BTW STUDY!!!
I took this class ON-LINE. What an EASY A. I will say this much All the answer are in the book. Quiz and test are kinda hard, but THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT on testing. So I found every answer All the time in the book. I recommend this class.
He is just the nicest guy and prof you will take. He does like to have fun and make you laugh but he also gives lots of notes. Do not confuse his "niceness" for easy. As everyone says, you must STUDY. Lots of love for Dr. Model.
Took Dev. Psych, changed my major because it was awesome!He's fun, funny, young, hot and relevant!
"STUDYYYYYY", listen, write notes, laugh, have fun and eat!! No texting/phone calls hahaha I got caught lol but he's super nice!! Hide your food/snacks he randomly eat people stuff lol but its all good! He is good lookin(guapo)! =)
He is a great professor. He makes the subject even more fun. All tests are multiple choice. Most of the test information comes from lecture notes. As long as you study the notes a lot, you should do well. There is one paper but he is not that tough when he grades it.
"Stuuuddddyyyyyyy!!" Hilarous Guyy but teaches WELL!! Not a fan of psych but he definitly made it interesting!! He is a great professor I learned alot... We take a lot of notes but what is on the notes is on the exams. Very easy but only if you "Studyyyyy" as he would say! Oh and NO CELL PHONES very embarrassing if you do lol... I warned you!
LOVED HIM! Great professor and you can tell he loves what he does. We need more teachers like him! Very personable, relatable, and knowledgable! Wish he taught more than just Psych.
He's the best Psy teacher out there. He truly loves what he's doing. Has a great way of lecturing and his stories are hilarious!!! Tests are easy, only 3 and if you get a B or more in all you don't take the final. Would take him again if I could!
STUDY STUDY!!! GREAT CLASS. STUDY HIS NOTES DONT FORGET TO MEMORIZE NUMBERS OR %! IT IS A FUN CLASS YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO MISS IT. TEST ARE MULT CHOICE. BE EARLY TURN OFF YOUR PHONE! HE WILL ANSWER THE CALL! OR HE WOULD READ YOUR TEXT. BUT ALL GOOD HUMOR. YOU HAVE TO TAKE NOTES. ONE PAPER SUPER EASY. GREAT PROFESSOR DR. MODEL!! GREAT CLASS
You will take a lot (lot) of notes and you will need to study, but class was fun and Dr. Model was fun. I laughed in class and laugh afterwards but don't slack and you must turn off your phone. STUDY!
Model is the best online teacher ever! He is so easy. I took PSY1012 and thought I was going to fail.Your homework is to read the chapter for the week and take 2 quizzes online(open book) he gives 4 exams online(also open book). His final exam is online as well. You never need to go to the campus to take exams. Easy B, just make sure you read!
PSY1012-Great online class! A lot of reading but the tests are open book. I highly recommend his class!!!
I took his online class. 2 quizzes each week and a midterm every 3 weeks. You need to read the book! The way he words the tests can be confusing but it was an overall easy class. He seems super sweet and really cares about his students :)
He's the best psych professor you can ever have. Great sense of humor; he'll have you cracking up everyday and makes psych so interesting with his hilarious stories & experiences. You don't need the book. Study your notes over and over and this class will be an easy A. Highly recommended!
just...... take him. you won't regret it!
He is a GREAT professor! He has a story for almost everything we learn so it helps you understand the material better! You need to studyyyy!!!! He will remind you of that every class. He has an awesome sense of humor. You will have fun in his class. There are 3 tests and a paper.If you have a B or higher you don't have to take the final! Take Him!
Fantastic teacher!! As long as you take his notes ( in order) and studyyyyy then you will pass his tests and his class. He uses his life experiences as examples in class to make the notes easy to understand more and he also has good humor. There's only one term paper.
Prof. Model is AMAZING, he makes class lots of fun! his tests are easy you just have to stuudyyyyyy!!!! He has tones of stories to tell to make the chapters easy to understand! Take his class and you won't regret it! Best teacher ever! plus he is HOT!!!!
Great teacher! would love to take his class again if I could.
Don't underestimate how hard the class is. Everyone says easy but everyone also says study. Bottom line, he is lots of fun and I feel like I learned a ton.
Best psychology professor ever! LOVED his class so much that I changed my major to psychology. He only has 3 tests and one term paper. As long as you take notes which are pretty much given to you and you "STUUDY"..you will be fine. He also has some pretty funny stories that will help you remember better. TAKE HIM FOR ANY/ALL psych classes "DO IT":p
Professor Model makes the class fun and interesting. He shares stories from his life to help us learn. The test material comes from the notes he gives us in class. The tests are multiple choice. He is the best psychology professor I have ever had. I wish he taught more courses. :)
"Stuuuddddyyyyyyy!" Professor Model is hysterical & has an awesome personality. This is the 1st time i am so willing to wake up early for an 8:30am class and not want to miss a single class. STUDY + go to class = A (all answers are in the notes. There are only 3 test + plus final & a paper (easy). I highly recommend him hence the review
YOU MUST STUDY!!! Yes a lot of notes and if you really want an A you will need to use the book, but class was always enjoyable and you definitely learn and remember.
I love, love, love this guy!! My boyfriend and I took this class together and we both loved it! He makes class fun by all the stories and bad language he uses. You'll never use the book, so don't buy it. You have to take A LOT of notes, but that's all you will ever have to do and 3 tests. Take him, he's AMAZINGGGGGG!! :)))
Professor Model is one of the best professors at Valencia. He tells his students stories from his life to help them learn. He makes the class more interesting by how he explains the material. The tests are multiple choice which makes studying easier. He really cares about his students. That is really important. I highly recommend him!
I cant say enough good things about Dr. Model!Amazing Professor! He makes you feel comfortable and dresses very casual and laid-back. I didnt use the book and all, just studied his notes and got an A in the class. If you dont like taking notes, you might want to rething, as you take notes the whole class, but it is worth it to hear his stories.
Such an interesting class! You will learn so much and Model is happy to answer any questions. Since it's a touchy subject, he even did an open forum at the end of semester where we could anonymously ask questions. Tests are the only grade but they are not easy. Based on lots of stats which he'll hint at during lecture. Make notecards to study.
If you need discipline take his class.HE forces you to learn and do your work.Attendance and test are mandatory. If you are a slacker, you have two jobs,or drama in your life ...Find another teacher.
Dr. Model is such a good teacher! He knows his stuff and has awesome stories that go along with the material we are learning. He's an awesome professor and should be taken by all. Now it is work to pass his class as the tests have a lot of information but it'd worth it and a fun learning environment! Just dont procrastinate and you'll do fine:)
The best professor ever!!! Dr. Model is very straight forward and laid back. He doesn't use the book instead you have to take notes in order to pass his class. His test are easy if you take the notes and study them, you must study. If your lazy and you don't like to take notes then find another professor.
Dr. Model is everything the reviews say. I love that he made class fun and I don't think I've ever studied so much. YOU DO NEED the book to if you really want to learn so don't think you can skim his class. LOVE ME SOME MODEL!
One word... AMAZING! Professor Model was great! By far he does not sugarcoat with anything! He tells you from the beginning that there will be notes and tests! STUDY, STUDY, & STUDY and you will do fine! His stories are extremely helpful with remembering the material. Definitely a recommended Professor!!
WOW, he totally works for his students. I took him for online general and the class was tough. However, I have never had a professor who communicated as much as he did, works at making the course fair and works to make things in the course "right". He really tries to help and was unbelievably open. You will definitely read and study though.
Took him for a 3 hour morning block class and always had fun. Time just went by and he always made me smile. YES YOU NEED TO STUDY! But he tells you this every week. STUDDDDY! Would totally take him for any other class.
Eric Model is the best teacher i've ever had he's very funny and alwas pay attention to his students
Seriously the best professor I've ever had and probably will ever have. Inspired me to change my major to psych. Hilarious and helpful, he cares deeply about his students and helps you remember things by telling funny stories. And yes, he's hot!
Eric Model is.. a model. Lol! But he is more than a pretty face, he is very engaging. Notes aren't my thing, but Eric interacts with students. I had a very fun class, always talkative, and full of laughter. He uses real life examples and tells funny stories. He loves cursing but it's part of his persona. Very modest and a great help.
Professor Model was hands down the most understanding, helpful teacher i've ever had. His online class is straight forwards, 2 quizes a week and every 4th week a mid-term. I had some online issues with the program being used, I would email him, and he would take care of it everytime. He is very supportive, and wants you to succeed. TAKE HIM!
Took both general and developmental with him over a year ago. I really wish he would teach abnormal psych or literally any other courses so I could take him again. Extremely nice, actually cares about his students (unlike most Valencia professors). So awesome, so attractive. Take notes, and study them. Teach more courses please, Dr. Model!
Dr.Model is truly an amazing professor. His lectures are never boring mainly because of all the funny stories he tells. There is a lot of material to cover so you have to STUDY! Don't need the book. As long as you know EVERYTHING in the notes, you'll be just fine. Paper is long, but easy. Don't wait until the last minute to write it! Loved him!
I took his online class and to be honest if your looking for an easy A and not look at the book you are dead wrong. Each test and quiz is from each section in the book and do not skim at all. Just read the section (all of it) for the week, do the little flash card assessment and then the quizzes at the end at the week. Overall the class was fine.
I was in Dr. Models online class and it is pretty hard. I think I spent about 4 hours each week doing everything. He does tell you to expect this so fair is fair.He was super good about emails and communication and very nice when I had questions. Course is very straight forward. Overall a good class and very nice professor.
I LOVE YOU ERIC MODEL!! Seriously the best teacher ive ever had in my life. He makes you WANT to learn and want to come to class. His class isnt hard as long as you STUDY. Ive never been a studier but he makes it so simple. Aced every single exam. In class he has us CRACKING up. Perfect professor. His personality is what makes him hott.
He really is the best! Don't expect to just get a grade though, LOTS OF NOTES! LOTS OF STUDYING, but like everyone says, he makes you laugh and its fun in class. I WANT MORE!
Dr. Model's course is extremely easy, all you have to do is study. He does give a lot of notes. He only gives three exams throughout the semester, and the final exam depends on what you had on the 3 given exams. He has one super easy midterm paper due. I enjoyed going to class, and I'll definitely take him again for Developmental Psychology.
Great professor!!! I started off horrible in on the first two exams because I didn't study, but I made it up with the next ones and the virtual child! Study the notes that are given and you'll do great!!! Perfect professor!!!
By far the best teacher I have ever had! I am so excited to be taking another Psychology class with him in the fall :)
You have to love him as he is awesome. I see he is teaching Sport Psychology so I am definitely taking another class with him! Best teacher at Valencia!
Dr. Model is by far the best and most amazing professor at Valencia. He's laid back, easy-going and his classes are so much fun! Just keep in mind that when he says study, STUDY. This is my 3rd class with him and will be taking sports psychology in fall just to be with him again! I love him he's the best professor ever.Take him!you wont regret it.
Professor Model is amazing. Hes very straight and to the point. If you take notes everyday and attend you'll pass with an A. The tests go in order and they're only 4 of them.
Best prof ever! Take anything he teaches you will have fun and actually learn stuff. Study and study to do well and be in class.
Loved him for Gen. Will be taking Sport Psychology with him in fall and can't wait! Just a amazing professor.
This Professor was the best of my Valencia Career. Easily accessible, easy-going, and all-around fun guy. Makes material interesting and has hysterical anecdotes. One requirement, STUDY. Seriously. No Homework, just study. And one big project at the end. Thoroughly enjoyed his class. A++ Would Take Again
Absolutely amazing class!! i took him over 4 semesters ago, and I wish i needed him for another course! Key to passing this class? STUUUDDDY!! Literally! Makes class highly interesting as to where you still remember the material later on down the line! Highly recommended!!!
Dr. Model is by far THE best professor ever. He is extremely helpful and starightforward, and is always willing to lend a helping hand. He genuinely cares about his students and his stories are the best! To pass his class you must STUDYYYY and have understanding of everything, not just definitions or reading the notes. 3rd class I've taken with him
Just do him....or at least take his class! Just awesome and I really want to be in one of his stories! Feel like I learned so much but as everyone says STUDY STUDY STUUUUUUUUUDY.
Very easy going guy. good class. study. show up on time.
He is what all the reviews say and he tells/warns you what class will be. LISTEN, LEARN and STUDY. Class was actually harder than I anticipated (got a C) but did enjoy the class.
Best general Psychology professor hands down! Was a fantastic professor and class.
I Loved Eric Model because He Made The Class Interesting and Was Extremely Funny, But When He Says STUDY He Really Means Study, Its not Easy When You Don't Study and Even Though I Study It Was Still Hard Because It Was Alot Of Information and Less Time But If Your Really Into Psychology I Recommend Him, He Makes The Class Interesting.
B E S T P R O F E S S O R E V E R ! ! ! ! ! ! SERIOUSLY TAKE HIM! He is soooooooo funny and entertaining. Test are WORD FOR WORD right off of the notes. It is a lot of material so you have to STUDY. Paper is a piece of cake. No book needed.
Dr. Model is the best you can have, he really helpful when it comes to explaining everything. Just make sure you go to class and take the notes on the power point and mostly STUDY! his exam questions are all from the notes w & the exams are alot of questions but it take about 25 minutes to finish if you study. He has stories for everything
PROFESSOR MODEL IS AMAZING!!!!!!! I TOOK HIM THIS SEMESTER AND I COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER TEACHER! Test are right from the notes so STUUUUUUUDY! HE'S SUPER NICE!
If there was a such thing as the perfect professor, it would be him. Dedication+studying+ Dr. Model= easy A. Tests are based off of notes (avoid procrastination because there is a lot to study). Dr. Model is easy to approach with questions and is wiling to help. The class was very entertaining! Hurry up and register before the class becomes full.
He is the bomb. Very nice and fun and keeps things going. You must take lots of notes and have to study! Enjoyed class the entire time.
The best professor I've had at Valencia in all ways. Made me study and made class involved for us. Easy to talk with and helped me with flash card studying in his office. As other say STUDY!
If you can't do well with Dr. Model, you shouldn't be in school. Don't expect a babysitter but be prepared to laugh. Great person and class.
Psych = Good : Dr. Model + PSych = Amazing : Dr. Model + Psych + Study = Awesome Grade and Learning : Dr. Model + Psych + Slacking = Big Trouble. If you slack do not take, but if you work you will love him.
Took for gen and signed up for Dev, will sign up for sport psych for fall. Only psych proof I will take class with.
Took class online and thought he was very nice. Class is right from book so prepare to read. He send out emails every week with info, deadlines and encouragement. Responded to my emails in about 1 day and fixed any issues very fast.
Online class is well structured and easy to follow. Homework and quizzes each week and exams every 3 or 4 weeks. Just click the week you are on and do what is included. Dr. Model is super good about fixing problems and very nice on email. Lots of reading!
Class was hard but stories were good. Dr. Model was very nice and accommodating. Feel liked I learned a ton.
Dr. model is an awesome prof. He makes his class a joy to attend. I must say, this was 1 class I never wanted to miss. His stories he tells really makes you remember the material. Take notes and study off them and you're guaranteed to pass. Only homework assignment you have is to stuuuuuuuuudddddyyyyy. 1 paper due on last day. Amazing class!
Easy going. MUST STUDY. STUDY. Very helpful. he is available to help with anything if you need it. this is not an easy A, unless you study. He fallows power point slides. Test are on the PowerPoint. But you still need to read your book. There is one paper and four tests. If you want to learn take him. You will retain a lot of info.
He's Awesome and hilarious! Study off the notes and you will do fine! You don't know your grade until the end but if you do good on the test you know your doing fine in the course. if you get an 80% or higher he doesn't make you take the exam. Love Him Definitely recommend him
Dr. Model is awesome! He's hilarious and makes the information worth retaining. I feel like I've learned a lot from his class! If your debating on who to take, take him!! Just study the power points and you'll be golden.
Awesome professor!!!!! Very helpful, and brutaly honest. A lot of reading and test are long but if you study you will be fine. Lot of lectures and note taking.
Was harder than I thought but had fun still. Learned lots and looking forward to Sport Psychology in the fall. Great teaching style.
WAS THE BEST PROF I'VE EVER HAD MADE MY SEMESTER. MUST LISTEN AND STUDY AND READ. A MUST TAKE FOR PSYCHOLOGY CLASSES.
Dev psych was awesome and he's suhc a great professor and person. Wish all my professors were as good as him. You will love his style if you want to learn and willing to learn!
Took him for both general and developmental psychology. Best professor I have ever taken at Valencia! Exams are long and you have to STUDDDDDDDDY in order to pass. Love going to his class, just powerpoints and his own life stories to help you remember. Extremely funny and passio nate in his teaching.
He is a really helpful professor and such a nice person. If you plan on doing his class online remember to do the HOMEWORK. I was such an idiot halfway through the semester I didnt even realize that the class had homework but anyways hw takes only 30 mins a week and you read 1 chapter a week. 3 quizzes due by sunday each week. great prof, nice.
Wonderful Professor. Take this class online , It's so simple. There is a practice activity for each chapter including 3 quizzes each week.16 weeks. The quizzes are 20 questions with 40 mins timed. ALL the answers are in the textbook. There are 4 exams the last exam is your final, exams are not timed 105 questions. Easy A. Very Nice Man
Had to make an account on here so I could rant about how amazing Professor Model is! His lectures are incredible and he keeps you entertained the entire time, so you never have a chance to zone out. All you have to do is put some time and "studddddy" - P. Model voice! I wish I would have taken him for gen psych too. YOU HAVE TO TAKE HIM! DO IT!
Professor Model is awesome! makes you laugh the entire class. Pretty easy lectures. 2 tests and a comprehensive final. Also, you have to write a paper. lowest grade dropped if u get good grades on the tests and paper, and dont miss class. You'll hear a lot of personal stories that are linked to the lectures. Gives free candy! Study the notes only!
TAKE HIM, I've literally begged a person to take him. He's hilarious, in tears funny. Very nice, and has conversations and tells stories in class. You MUST study. Way cool though, no homework, no group activities, just tests not hard if you study. 3 tests not including final. DO NOT have to take final if you have B or higher all together in tests.
He is very nice and really funny! He does big lectures and makes them relate to and he tells you a lot of stories to keep you entertained! Your only grades are based on test, one paper, no homework, and I didn't have a textbook and I got a really high grade. Be prepared to study though! studinghomework. I really recommend you to take this class!
Incredible professor! His ability to relate all the material to real life personal stories is not only entertaining but the best way to learn the subject! Tons of note taking and still I doubt anyone minded; plus the tests are straight out of the notes. If I could I would take Prof. Model for every course he taught. Don't skip class and STUDYYYYYY!
Just like other people comments about he does explain about his past related to the class! He made all the student laugh & comfortable! The test was exactly from the notes. Just study & you will get an A! There is 3 tests if you got all B. Then, no final exam! And one researched paper
Makes you want to be a psych major! MUST STUDY everyone says, and this is true, but once in his class you will only want to take classes with him. Developmental class is tough but you learn lots and its all about stuuuuuuudying. Highly recommend.
Second class with Dr. Model and still the best. Dev Psych was better then general. Must still study!
Very fun professor. He tells stories with his lectures that help you remember it for tests. Your grades are based off tests and a paper. Easy material if you're interested in psychology. You definitely learn and he has a unique learning style. Does more than just lecture.
Social Psychology was by far the best class I have taken at Valencia. Dr. Model was amazing and the class just flew. I think we laughed every class but there were still tons of notes and material. Possibly a must have class if you are going into psych, or just want to have a great class experience.
Hes such a funny prof everybody loves him, very laid back! Everything usually comes from class notes so you have to be in class and if you miss notes your screwed unless you get it from someone in class. You NEED the notes!! Dont be late too many times
So good. You will love him!
Took as an online class. If you don't read the book you WON'T pass. It's stated in the syllabus that the online class is heavy reading. The quizzes are simple and timed, but the exams are long and not timed. He's quick with email responses and will answer your questions clearly.
HURRY UP AND PICK HIM BEFORE HIS CLASS FILLS UP!!! best professor ive had at valencia. every class is great, he is hilarious and teaches very well. his test are long ,but if you "stuuudy" it will be very easy. only 3 test, get above an 80% on all and you dont have to take the final. trust me, take this class.
Honestly one of THE BEST classes i've taken since i started at Valencia. He's super strict with phones, he will answer/call back the person if they go off in class. If you get b's on all his tests you don't have to take a final. IF you don't read, or take notes, you won't pass. Class is straightforward, and he's hilarious and personable! TAKE HIM !
Dr. Model is an amazing professor. I took him for gen psych, and loved him! He makes the lectures interesting and relatable. His notes are very clear and as long as you study the notes, you'll ace every test. He made the class easy and fun and I would definitely take him again.
Best class I've taken at Valencia! He's the reason I've decided to double major in Psychology. You will learn in this class, 100%. You will take A LOT of notes but the exams come from the notes. Your HW is to "STUDY". 3 Exams. 1 Paper. Class lectures are interesting and hilarious. You will have an amazing time in this class. Recommended!
It's been 2 years since I've graduated from Valencia, and moved on to another university to pursue my Bachelor's in Psychology, and Dr. Model is still by far the BEST psychology professor I've EVER had! I highly recommend taking him for any course he teaches. He's the reason why I became a psych major. Trust me, you want to take his classes. :)
3 exams, a paper, and final is not required if you score at least an 80 average on exams. Professor is hilarious, and his lectures are clear. Make sure you ask questions if needed, he's open to any and will answer them well. Just pay attention, take notes, since exams are word for word from lectures, plus a few freebies. Overall a great class.
Awesome class, great Prof. You can tell he's good at what he does, very informative and gives real life stories to apply to course content. He is very fun and upbeat, making class a great environment. Would def take again. Can miss 4 classes. Gives 4 exams, if you avg an 80 on the exams, can skip the final. Four one page papers.
The entire class is lecture and note taking and a final at the end. Pay attention and study. Coolest professor I've ever met.
First off he's a great Professor! I took him for psychology He emphasizes the word "studyyyy" heavily because, if you study his notes you WILL pass the course! I love the fact that he made psychology interesting, along with his great sense of humor. He is also very attractive!!! We only had 4 test but if you study, you'll do just fine.
Professor Models lectures are amazingly fun and humorous. You will be taking long notes from the power point, and sometimes you don't really need the book to study. However, he expects you to read them anyways. His projects that he assigns to his students are very interesting to do.
I thought this class was going to be hard & tedious BUT it wasn't tedious or bad at all. The lectures that Professor Model did were always interesting and there was never anything that he didn't have on his tests that weren't in the lectures. He only had 3 exams through the entire semester and as long as you stuudied you're going to do just fine!
Dr. Model is AMAZING. His class is the only one I look forward to and he never fails in making you laugh. Only 3 exams and 1 paper with an OPTIONAL final exam depending on your grade. Getting the book is optional as well but it's highly recommended. I really can't recommend him enough I wish he taught all psych classes! Take him!!!!
I love this class! Amazing lectures, and gives helpful examples with story's and personal experience. What I loved the most was his lectures. He makes them very interesting and funny. Time flies so fast when your in his class. I would recommend Professor Model for DEP2004.
3 main tests, 1 Final and 1 Paper. Final is optional if you average an +80% on all 3 tests. Paper is moderately easy, 5 pages. Great Professor and excellent teaching style. He's very nice and professional. If you need help understanding, you can meet him in his office. Study the NOTES hard. Book is helpful, but not necessary.
I don't write reviews at all but for this teacher I had to!!! It's been about 4 years ago since I had Eric model as my psychology teacher. Honestly If it was possible i would pick him in all subjects math, biology, chemistry, comp ect. He's hilarious & make the subject very interesting and clear. Write every note down... STUDY & YOU'LL PASS
BEST PROF at Valencia. Very honest and real and yes attractive. Would take all classes with him. Abide by class policies though and you will have no problem. YOU DO NEED TO STUDY!!!!!
His class was very easy, I took it online and I read the chapters assigned for the week, and completed short quizzes at the end of each chapter. If you can do that, then you would get an easy A. He was very reachable, and given that he's an online professor, that is very important.
You should take him! Nice, fun, knowledgeable and easy on the eye's. And he's actually a great teacher.
He makes learning fun by connecting each lesson with his own personal story. Great man, super funny, and easy on the eyes!
He's the best!
He makes his class interesting by telling stories and you can tell he really cares. He gives lots of notes and they are way better than the book so you don't really have to read. There are only three test in his class and if you pass all three you don't have to take this final which is amazing. I love this class
Professor Model is a great instructor, you are graded solely on 4 exams and a project. His exams are all based off of the notes you take in class so there's not much of a need to read the textbook, although he does recommend it. I would definitely take him again!
I LOVE HIM. I want him to teach all my classes. And yes he's a great teacher, just remember to study!!!!
I took Dr. Model over a year ago and then took him for another class last semester, he's nice to look at, he is a great teacher and he makes the class inviting. Developmental was like General but with more tests but he still made us laugh and had great stories. Best professor for psych.
Shouldn't be known as an "easy" class, but is simple. DON'T SLACK OFF. He keeps you captivated & truly cares. He's very passionate about teaching, & shares his stories to help you learn better. Study, you'll never go wrong. Carry your own weight of effort & just care. That's how you'll pass. His classroom has a positive vibe. Down to Earth person(:
I took his online class, and it was one of the easiest class i've taken. he gives clear instructions. You are expected read 1 chapter weekly. You must also complete the "practices" (48-55 simple questions). There is three quizzes 20 question quizzes every week and an exam every 4 weeks. I would take this class with this teacher without hesitation.
I took Gen. Psych with Dr. Model, and can truly say that his class was the one I looked forward to most. I appreciated his teaching style, his sense of humor and how he relates the subject matter to a story. If my major required Dev. Psych, I would definitely take his class.
Easily the best class I have ever taken. Couldn't help but smile and enjoyed being in the class. Always looked forward to Dev psych, yaaaaaay.
AMAZING, take him! I took Gen Psych with him because it was required, and now I'm taking Dev Psych with him for an elective simply because it interests me. You learn a lot and you need to "stuuudddyyyy" (if you take his course you'll understand). I rate his looks and his teaching a TEN.
Best teacher/professor I've ever had. Only 3 tests are given and if you pass all 3 you don't have to take the final. As long as you study the note that are given in class, you'll pass.
I took him for Psych 2012 and honestly I'm in my last semester and he is still by far one of my FAVORITE professors at Valencia! His lectures were always amusing and as long as you "Stuuudy" you'll pass. He did have a paper at the end of the semester and three exams throughout the entire class and if you had a decent grade you could skip the final.
I took Dr Model For Developmental Psychology for the Spring 2017 Semester. I had taken him before. You definitely have to to study your notes you get from his lectures or else you won't pass the class. There was a term paper plus 4 tests. Get A 80% and you don't have to take his final. I had to take the final and it wasn't to hard because I studied
Took for Gen and Dev and would take more if I hadn't graduated. Just a ball of sweet and sugar and everything nice, as well as a good learning classroom. Must must must study the notes.
Simply the best at Valencia.
Prof Model is AMAZINGG!! take him!! took him for psych and absolutely loved the class. He doesnt assign homework but you have to "studyyyyyyyy' as long as you really study his notes and pay attention in class you cannot fail I promise you! his style of teaching is amazing, his stories helps a lot in retaining the information
Super funny professor and an interesting class. 3 tests, 1 paper and a final. Only have to take the final if you have an average below an 80%. Highly recommend!
Amazing professor, only has 4 exams, 3 class exams and you can comp out of the final if you have a "B" test average. Study!!
As an online class, this was perfect. The work for this class contained only 3 weekly quizzes all due Sunday 20 questions each. Every 4 weeks and exam was replaced by the quizzes of about 50 questions. All answers are in the book! Super easy and time manageable. Eric Model was also very caring and updated his class weekly. Easy to reach and open.
Lots of notes from PP slides, no quizzes, no hw, 4 tests, 1 final, and 1 paper. Attendance is mandatory because the slides are not on blackboard. He is a laid back person, and has entertaining lectures. Don't let that fool you though, because he is very smart. Tests are 70 questions and be sure to STUDY his notes, not the books. Solid class!
He is hilarious and really nice. Three exams plus a final plus a paper, but you can get out of the final by achieving a B in his class. Must stuuuuuudy! Lots of note but class time goes very quickly. Not an easy grade but not hard either. Would take again!
OMG I loved him! Our class was so funny and he just guided us along laughing as we went. The tests were hard so stuuuuuuuuudy! I still loved him!
Makes you want him to teach all your classes. Don't be fooled by his approach, he will not babysit you nor just give you a grade. You must actually study and study! Lots of notes and very specific on his tests, as I've said, no babysitting, study. He is lots of fun and lots of laughs.
Best professor at Valencia.
first you need to study his notes ( memorize them) the exam comes from notes if you memorize the notes you get 90s. do not buy the book is a waste of money because you don't used it. He drops the lower grade. If you got more that 80% on all the exams you don't have to take the final. exams are 70 multiple choice easy questions ( if you study).
Lots of notes, good lectures. Best professor to take at Valencia for any psych subjects.
My favorite professor at Valencia! He is lecture heavy but he engages and talks with each student! He teaches at a level that is understandable and helps us apply every concept to situations we understand! Hands down one of the funniest professors I've had, but you must stuuddyyyyyy... .if you want to pass. Yaaayyy!! You won't regret taking him.
Prof. Model is hands down one of the best Prof. at Valencia. He really relates with his students and makes Psych so understandable. You don't need the textbook, all tests are based on his notes so don't skip because you'll be behind! He's hilarious and knows what he's talking about. Final is optional if you score 80% and he drops your lowest score.
I took Professor Model first for General Psychology last semester and I loved him and his teaching style so much that I had to take him again for Developmental Psychology. He has only 4 tests and 1 final paper. NO homework at all besides studying on your own! He always makes the class feel like a big family - take him, you won't regret it!
He's phenomenal! Amazing teaching. He's very clear on how he runs his class and teaches his lectures. A real gem. Would def take his class a billion times over.
Charismatic and hilarious storyteller. He keeps it simple with three 70 question exams which you must study for to get a good grade. A 6 page paper is due in a span of a month, not that hard.
Hilarious storyteller and lecturer. 3 tests. He will tell you to buy the textbook but you really dont need it, just study off of your notes.
Took his online class and was very easy. Just be aware that you have to read a lot but if you are highly motivated this should be an easy class for you.
One of the best professors I've had at Valencia. If you have the chance to take him, DO IT. His class and the way he teaches actively make you want to keep showing up and keep doing your best. Just beware that his classes are lecture heavy and he really only grades on tests and papers. Still a great and relatively easy class, as long as you try
Dr. Eric is the best proffesor a student couldve ever ask for! I pass the class with a B and thats only because I only study my notes on the day of the exam! If you study your notes exactly the way they are theres no way you shouldnt be passing that class with an A+. He has to be the best professor on campus! Take him and you wont regret it!
This class is SO easy. You do have to read ALOT, but the exams are untimed so you can look in the book to help find answers. Although its an online class, Professor Model is hilarious with his weekly announcements. Quizzes are easy, homework is easy. Easy A as long as you do the work.
I took him online this summer A. I really liked the way he makes announcement and moreso, You have like quiz every week and you can do it anytime in the week. The quiz is timed so remember not to log out once you start and the final too is online and its untimed you can do it ANYTIME in that week. Hes the best professor ever. im taking him again.
I took him Online and it was one of the most easiest class I ever took, just do all of the homework's and test on time and you will pass.
Online was lots of work. Its not hard but you have to read and do everything in his folders. Just a lot of work so be prepared. If you put in the time you will be fine.
AMAZING professor! I've already maxed out all the classes i could take with him. Dev Psych is a bit harder but studyYYYyYyyYyY!
Very easy class, not that many assignments nor exams. Would take again if I could.
Professor Model is an amazing psych professor. He tells hilarious stories, that are memorable, and help with retaining info about the concepts at hand. The course consists of 3 exams, a paper, and a final, if you don't have a passing grade by the time the final comes. He actually cares and teaches his craft and if his students understand.
Best professor I've had. No homework, no group work, no assignments. The whole class consists of only 3 exams and a paper. That being said, he gives 0 extra credit so you must studyyyy. If you study, easy class. If not, good luck..
TAKE HIM. I took Prof Model ONLINE for Gen Psychology and loved it! Frequently sends messages with what's due and always available to help. Every week, one McGraw interact lesson which was a completion grade (super easy) then three 20 question quizzes. Total of 4 100 question exams, with 2 attempts on each. SO EASY.
Prof. Model was honestly the best professor I've ever had. He's really funny and genuinely cares about his students. He has his own powerpoints and gives relatable examples for each topic. It's not an easy class if you don't study so make sure you studdyyy. Flashcards help out and everything that is on the powerpoints, are on the tests.
Best professor ever!!!! I took Dr. Model for Gen and Dev psych and he is still the best professor I've ever had. He's hilarious and tells jokes and stories that relate to the topic which really helps you remember the material for tests. He's also not bad looking so that was a plus.
I strongly advise you take Dr. Model!! His class was amazing and his lectures were great. He tells the class a lot of funny stories that really makes the material stick. There isn't any assignments aside from the 4 exams and one term paper we had to do so you have to studyyyyy. You can only miss 4 classes before you are removed from the class.
Professor Model was my favorite professor Ive ever had. His lectures are amazing and he actually cares about whether youve understand the materials or not. Class is super fun and consists of 3 exams and 1 paper. Tests are super easy if you write down everything on his ppt. Test is exactly like the notes. Would def recommend!
Funniest professor ever!!! He is very kind, caring, and funny. But he means business so you better STUD-DDDYYY!!! If you don't attend, you won't pass. There are no quizzes or homework just tests. His tests are very exact specific, so study early on to succeed! But he has quite a sailor mouth and likes to take food from you if you have snacks!
Dr. Model makes you WORK for an A. Your overall grade only comes from 4 exams (each 22.5% of your grade) and a paper that is worth 10%. STUUUUDDYY from the time you leave the classroom. Don't buy a text book bcs the exam is all based on notes. Model makes the class very hilarious and enjoyable. Only 4 people ended the semester with A's.
I took this class online and it was very organized, easy to understand. Every week there's a chapter to read and about 3 quizzes to do of each chapter. There are 4 exams and a final that can be taken at home. I really liked this course and would definitely take it again.
online class is amazing it is just time consuming but if you try, you can do it.
Eric is the best professor Ive ever had. He keeps his classes interesting and simple. He doesnt have homework and you dont need to buy the textbook because all of his tests are based on in class information. As long as you pay attention and take a LOT of notes and studyyyy youll pass. I would for sure take him again if given the opportunity
Pretty easy online class, no projects, all tests and quizes are online. Stuff is due on Sunday. He answers emails in a few hours or the next day, depends on when you contact him.
He's a nice guy and uses power point to give students notes and will give you time write it all down. If your phone rings in class he'll take your phone and read the text or answer the call in front of the class. Also, make friends in the class because if you miss a day he won't give you the notes. The only grades are 4 test and a 5 page paper.
took him for online psychology and the easiest class I have ever taken. Everything is online regarding quizzes and tests. No projects and very straightforward class. Would 100 percent recommend to take him!
Professor Eric is awesome. He sends weekly messages to let you know what's due and is always available. Everything is through the online textbook. Be prepared for lots of ready, but the work isn't hard. Chapter quizzes are due at the end of the week and there's 3 exams. This was the easiest online class I have ever taken. Would take again.
It was a fair class. The professor was awesome. He was in constant contact with emails and was extremely quick to respond back to questions. The syllabus told you exactly the work that was expected. If you do all your work, you will do well. I would gladly take another class with this professor!
Mr. Model is my favorite psychology teacher and he made the class super interesting with personal lectures and some hands-on class activities. His class was dependent on 3 tests and a 5 page essay and if you passed the tests with an 80+% average then you wouldn't have to take the final. He's super fun to take :)
He is probably the best professor ive had so far. His only homework is to study and his lectures are amazing. He likes to teach while using a lot of examples and he relates it to real life problems. The textbook is not needed at all because his lectures teach you everything you need to know for the test. Take notes though, if not you wont pass.
Hes funny and the lectures really help with learning the materials. I didnt really used the book until corona caused us to be all online. His tests were easy because he made them. I hated how he didnt teach all the way because the virus made us finish off the class online but it switch to text book based and got lots of Busy work assignments.
Professor Model is a fantastic teacher who knows his stuff! He lectures in class but they are not boring, he makes the students laugh and explains things as real world situations. He tells many stories in class as a way to remember information and they are funny stories. Only 3 exams, one paper, and no homework. Take his class, you'll learn a lot!
The weekly workload is heavy, but easy. Easy A, if you can stay on task and focus.
No complaints with this professor, I've never been behind because he gave early warnings of no late work but amazing book, interesting material, avg 2 chaps a week and test are long but second attempts are only for the wrong answers so easy A. Easy class for online
This professor basically taught my class in the middle of a pandemic and kept sending us weekly emails asking how everything was going. Definitely caring and ready to answer any questions you might have. I would with no doubt take him again, unfortunately he does not teach any of the classes I still need to take :(
His rating is defo from in-class. Took online class w him due to covid and its such a mess. He never teaches anything. Buy the book read the chapters & take test. 100 questions/exam. He literally did not teach anything. Not recommended to people who doesnt like reading like me. Too many chapters to read without any teachings from him.
Just finishing his Developmental class and I enjoyed it. Class is book heavy but manageable. Does required some discussions from Ted talks which were interesting. Grades were posted quickly and he posted notes and reminders weekly (he responded to my email within a day). Enjoyed the class and this professor.
If you can't do well in his class you shouldn't be in school. This was by far the best organized online class I've taken and he's actually responds quicky when emailed. Solid class and you simply need to do the work.
Course is basically given by the online system. He's easily reachable and lots of book reading, but pretty straight forward with exams and discussions. I'd take him again.
For an online class this was good. There weren't any actual lectures and was all reading and quizzes with an exam every few weeks. While it sounds boring he was readily available, gave help if you needed it, always stayed in contact, cared about grades, and gave you plenty of time. I would definitely take him again when face-to-face starts back up.
Medium tough class and you have to stay on top of things. Some weeks we only had a reflection and others we had quizzes or an exam, but if you read and study its pretty straight forward. Definitely need the book!
Great class, great professor. Do the work and get an A. Lots of reading and no extra credit so be prepared.
Great class and easy to follow. Must must must read and stay on pace. Posts notes each week and responds quick to emails.
Hes the best professor
Prof Model mostly just sends weekly reminders because the work is on connect and is automatically entered into the system. The exams are super long tho, like 90-105 questions.
Good professor. He always sends homework and Exam reminders. And most importantly, he does not cause stress to his students. An easy A. Take class with him, you will not regret it!
One of the best professors I have had since starting at Valencia. The class is mostly reading and taking quizzes so taking notes is a must. He send weekly announcements reminding you to do your best and he cares about his students. I wish the class was face to face, but I definitely take him again if I had the option to.
Good class, good professor, good structure, good organization, good communication and overall nice person. Tots recommend and not hard but still have to work. Solid class and lots of reading but I easy to stay on pace to get things done.
Very easy psy class. You dont have to read and you get the same assignments every week. Once in a while he will throw in something else like a discussion but they are very easy and on a interesting topics. you will pass this class if you do the work. answers for test and quizzes can be found online and in the book.
Three or more assignments a week includes test and quizzes.
Professor Model is the best he only has 3 -4 assignments each week which are only quizzes under 20 questions each. Plus its due friday but you have til sunday which is awesome and he sends tons of alerts to remind you of upcoming assignments and the best part is you can take all exams TWICE yerp twice so you can improve your grade he encourages it
Fantastic lectures, uses a lot of real-world stories and scenarios to help elaborate on psych concepts, and encourages student participation. No required discussion posts, but your grade hinges on three tests and one research paper. That being said, as long as you attend the lectures and study your notes(!!) you will pass with flying colors.
Best professor I have had. Workload is manageable, but you have to put time in. You can take exams twice, and he sends out tons of emails to remind you when assignments are do. He is always kind, and he actually cares about your performance in this course. 10/10
THE BEST PROFESSOR!!! Dr. Model gives the best lectures and makes them memorable. Study for the exams by using flashcards and you'll pass. Workload is decent with 4 assignments due each week but they don't take long at all.
Very easy A, I recommend him. It's around 4-5 easy assignments per week and he's very caring. I would say it'll take a maximum of 2 hours per week on assignments. It's impossible to fail his class and the work is really interesting.
Pretty straightforward class and professor. All of the assignments and tests are through the online book so you have to pay for an access code. He gives weekly announcements to remind you about any exams so that you won't forget any early deadlines. Every now and then there are discussion posts but no essays or group projects.
easy a! 3 quizzes a week (use quizlet!). exams are long but questions are pulled from the quizzes. discussions every now and then. super clear layout on canvas. he sends constant reminders to turn work in. impossible to fail.
Dr. Model uses amazing examples in his lectures to describe psychology concepts in a way beginners will understand. His tests are not comprehensive and you have a steady work flow each week. But as he will tell you, you must READ the book. He cant cover everything the book does but he makes the concepts understandable. Amazing professor.
I took the class online. It was very simple and straightforward. You get 3 quizzes 11 through 20 questions depending on the quiz and after two weeks you get a discussion each time as well. During your testing week, he won't assign any other assignments. The test has lots of questions more than the usual quizzes like 100 or so but there's no timer.
Professor Model is my favorite to this day! His lectures were very memorable, he explains concepts so effortlessly and gives examples to back up these ideas. You have to put in the time and work studying, but if you are passionate about psychology it is very easy to do.
Professor Model most sends an email almost twice or once a week reminding students what needs to be done and also encourages students to get work done on weekdays and I can agree since the quizzes and exams were pretty long and takes some time. The discussions should also be taken seriously since he examines it very clearly.
Pretty easy if you can make yourself work- Three quizzes a week, all questions come directly from the textbook. You NEED the textbook in this class btw; Read it. Tests are just the same questions as the quizzes except for more of them. Discussion posts, you really have to put work in (Including responses!!) so do that, but otherwise, not hard.
A week's worth of work is three 15ish question quizzes and a discussion post that is seriously graded. Exam every 4 weeks or after every 3 chapters. Exams and quizzes are straight from the book so you have to read, but exams have two tries, the 2nd time you can go back to your incorrect questions and choose the correct answers. 9/10, easy A.
Honestly? The course is pretty straight forward, heck even the professor said it themself. Tests/Assignments? easy. The exams are kinda long (100+ questions) NONETHELESS do not be discouraged by this, they're easy. HOWEVER the most pain in my butt is the discussion posts, sharpen your writing skills a bit because the prof is giving extra feedback.
IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL! He was the most caring professor I have ever met and I always looked forward to the words of encouragement he would give weekly to motivate you. Take him!!!
He's hilarious and very blunt, but his class is easy as long as you STUDY. He will tell you this all the time. He gives one assignment and then three quizzes to follow along with it outside of class. In class, there are notes, and he's unequivocal in his lectures. He gives four exams and then a term paper you turn in person at the end.
The class was interesting and fun through his lectures mixed with humor. His teaching style is easy to understand and engaging, making you want to ask questions and learn more about the topics.
I took his class online and honestly it was really easy! everything is self explanatory.
Dr Model's class was very fun and easy. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but you will need to go to class & take notes from the power point. If you study and memorize the PP you'll ace this class. The tests are multiple choice; all the questions will be from the PP except 2-3 which will be from the weekly reading. The final is a paper which isn't hard.
Easy A if taking other harder classes. 3 quizzes each week straight from the textbook. Discussions every once in a while, which weren't hard. exams are from the quizzes. impossible to fail.
loved this class. only a couple of power points. He is extremely helpful. The workload is really easy. Felt like it was a very relaxed class
This online class is very chill. He does pay very close attention to the disscussion posts though I was never able to get higher then a 8/10 on them lol. He uses a point system so every point matters when it comes to your grade. As long as you turn in everything assigned real easy A. Don't forget to use your "resources" too *wink*
Favorite professor I've had in college. Learned lots, laughed often and really enjoyed going to his class each week. Must take notes and study but not that hard to do well. Would highly recommend.
Took Dr. Models class in his hybrid format and wish class were twice a week as his face to face time is the best. The online work is very straight forward and relatively easy, you just have to keep up with it. The in class sessions are just awesome and funny and I actually learned something. The time just goes and my favorite professor at Valencia.
All of the information is in the textbook. There are 3 quizzes (short and timed) and 1 test (long and not timed) each week. Discussion posts that he harshly grades but isn't worth much points (only did one :) ). I didn't have a reason to talk to him so its really a teach-yourself course.
Everything was through McGraw-Hill. A couple of quizzes and 1 discussion due every week 3 big tests there long but not timed. Easy class don't miss anything it'll be kind of hard to make up for it grade wise. It's better to stay on track.
Professor Model's PSY2012 class is an engaging mix of online and in-person learning. The material is straightforward, and with consistent effort, an A is very achievable. I found unstuckstudy AI and the free textbook to be super helpful for staying on top of the content.
TAKE HIM!!
Amazing lectures, caring and understanding teacher .Makes conent easy to understand
If you plan to take general psychology, definitely take him. I would not take it online because it might be too much work! His class is really funny and he is very accessible to talk to. His tests are exactly like the power point he gives in class, same wording and same chapter order. Just do flash cards and study well and you will pass.
Professor model is great, he does give a good amount of work load you do like 3 readings along with 3 quizzes for 3 weeks straight then by the 4th week you have a test based on all of that so READ AND TAKE NOTES. His lectures are funny and makes undertsanding based on own experiences. He only has one term paper at the end.
Dr. Model is a great professor, his lectures are very engaging and funny. Just make sure you take notes and study, and you will do well on the exams. He is one of my favorite professors I've ever had, you will enjoy his class.
I have nothing against Professor Model but I really hated his assignments, they were easy but so irrelevant, had a B most of the semester until I was so lucky to get an A. He was a tough grader on discussion posts which I HATED and ended up just taking the 0 after a point but it didn't effect my grade too much. Take him for the easy credit.
Class is very straight forward..I did reach out twice during the term and he did zoom sessions with me. Little things were done by email. Very caring and very communicative. Discussion are harshly graded but count for very little so I didn't stress them. I did feel I learned a lot in this class and was a good class overall. Would recommend
Took him in person which was best for me. His lectures were great and funny. The assignments were straight forward you can finish all 4 in one day. The only way you won't pass his class is if you don't study. Anytime i didn't do well in a test it was definitely my fault. Would do his class again.
Used a textbook with a lot of hw questions and fill in the blanks, but you were able to redo the questions for full credit, it just took up a lot of time. Exams and quizzes were packed to the brim with questions, so make sure you're able to identify terms if it asks for it. Has really cute cats that he shows in his introduction powerpoint.
So nice to communicate with, he sticks to policies which I get but he was really encouraging and supportive towards me and has been very accessible through the term. You need to stay on top of the work and I appreciated the "start here" button as that is literally where you start. Would recommend for any psych class.
Was supposed to hybrid but got switched to online. Honestly was still a positive experience. Had an issue and he was very accommodating. Definitely tough on discussion grading but rest of course is straight forward and very manageable. Excellent class and excellent professor.
So, I think I've zoomed with him every week since week 2. I don't think psychology is for me and I said so, so he offered to just talk ideas if I wanted. i zoomed the first time and it was chill so I asked again and now I keep going. This will be my last psych course but I wouldn't have stayed without zooming and his effort. Thanks Dr. Model.
Good professor, lots of homework. He was one of two classes I was taking this term so the workload wasn't bad. If you have a lot of other classes might be hard to keep up. He gave 3 short quizzes a week with the occasional discussion post. Fair grader, gives direct feedback, you'll only struggle if you don't turn in the hw and study for the tests.
Sends out many reminders for you to stay on top of things. Work week is M-F but he gives weekends as emergency time. Was a good prof and very caring. Medium amount of work but very straight forward. A top choice for anyone who wants a Psych class.
He made psych soooo easy and actually fun, I strongly recommend him!! Workload is super light, just 3 quizzes a week and only like 3 discussions total for the whole class. It's honestly not that much and totally manageable. He sends reminders every week so you never miss anything, and he's genuinely funny. Take him if you can!
This class is VERY easy. There's ALOT of quizzes and sometimes discussion posts but he gives you till "Friday at midnight" to submit everything but leaves it open till Sunday at midnight with no points deduction but will not reopen anything after Sunday. This course was fun and interesting, I highly recommend taking this course w/ this professor :)
Good professor. Discussion posts require a lot of detail in both your post and your responses for full credit. Tests and quizzes really easy.
