Please do not take a class from this teacher. you are better off taking class independently! he does not review or go over material. if you want a teacher that cracks cheesy jokes for an hour, i suggest taking his class. if u want to learn, avoid him!

He is a very easygoing teacher and his class is never boring. I actually always wanted to come to this class.. He tests you on material taken directly from the chapters he assigns so if you read the book.. you will get an "A".. Awesome professor.

Mr. Armas is a very friendly, down-to-earth, approachable teacher. He often spent time with me after class getting into deeper conversation about the nature of people and other psych related material that was well beyond that of the classroom. He never minded a bit, and welcomed that advanced discussion.

Texting? Asked to leave class. Talking and goofing around? Called out on it. Wearing a goofy hat or got a hair cut? The whole class'll know and have fun with it. But GUARANTEED - you'll all be friends by the end and will WANT to come back to class. Armas is a great teacher. Be dedicated and your A will be easy. Just look at all these comments!!

He is funny, makes the class interesting, and has an honest interest in how his students are doing. He will call you out if you are wearing goofy clothes, hats, dress in a suit for a speech, not paying attention. Enjoyable class!!

Interesting teacher. Honestly one of the best teachers at COD. People might say he's hard, but that's just because they've probably had the easy teachers. If you're planning on transfering, you should register for one of Mr. Armas classes. You will then learn if you are prepared to handle not only COD but other colleges. Funny guy.

He is an amazing teacher! His class is very well formed so you know exactly what will happen in every class. He does count attendance for points so don't miss! His accent may be a little hard to understand sometimes but he genuinely cares about his students learning and answers questions well and thoroughly. Would definitely take again and again!

Professor Armas has to be one of the funniest professors I have ever taken. He knows how to keep the class engaged and his humor helps play a role in helping his students remember the material. I had a bad experience with AP Psych in high school but with Armas I actually really enjoyed psychology!!

Prof Armas was great - funny, knowledgeable, able to break down difficult concepts so I could understand, even when the textbook left me somewhat confused. Expectations for tests, quizzes, and other assignments were clear. The course moves quickly, and for me most of the content was new, so stay on top of the reading & take good notes

One of the funnest Professors out there. I recommend him if you don't like Psych but have to take it! He makes it super fun and cares a lot about his students. There is a fair amount of reading from the book, but he reads it and explains everything.

Physiological psychology in itself is a fast paced topic. Mr. Armas lectures in a way that keeps students engaged by being funny and speaking with passion. As much as he lectures, he doesn't cover about half the amount of material he tests on and spends a lot of time talking about details he doesn't test on, so expect to read the entire textbook.

Mr. Armas' online section of PSYCH1100 is entirely self-guided learning. All quiz and test material was imported from the textbook publisher (who doesn't always understand the material). There were 3 written assignments, with grades of 0%, 50%, or 100% the only options. Difficult to pull yourself back up after a single "failing" grade.

This class is manageable as long as you stick to a good schedule. There are three major assignments, multiple quizzes throughout each unit and a couple Tests. If you put in the work you will be fine just read the text book as well as keeping in mind that the quizzes and test are timed.

Professor Armas is one of of the best Psychology professors at COD! He is very inspirational and hilarious! If you reach out to him outside of class he really does care about your learning! I will say his lectures seem long, but I will say if you want to major in neuroscience he is the right professor to take! He has 3 exams! and 3 assignments!

Sometimes funny professor but lectures the whole time. That got very boring for me. Attendance is 15% of grade-- plus tests, quizzes, and 3 assignments. One EC opportunity. Show up to class, do the assignments well, and know the material and you will get an A. Test questions are on quizlet.

Really enjoyed this class. He is very lecture heavy which can get pretty boring but the class is not very difficult. If you pay attention you will do fine. There is quizzes over every chapter, only ten questions. Only 3 major tests and only 3 assignments, other than that you never have homework. He is very kind and cares about his students.

I mean I guess you can say he was funny, but other then that his classes were extremely boring. Every single class was lecture based and it was really boring. Very strict on phones and attendance so be ready for that. Another positive Is that there wasn't much work which was good.

Took the online 8-week course, and found it to be easier than I was expecting. Textbook required, but he provides powerpoints with info from the book that you need. He explains what he requires for each assignment which requires a lot of writing, but it's very doable. He claims there is no extra credit, but does sneak in some ec opportunities.

Professor Armas is a wonderful teacher of general psychology. He gave detailed lectures about the chapter we were in and posted his lectures online as a power point so you could follow along in class. He also posted practice quizzes online that had similar questions to the ones in the Exam and frequently gave hints as to what would be on the Exam.

Really good lectures & everything is always explained in detail; he also jokes a lot during class, which makes it light-hearted. Professor is good at responding to emails and catering to someone when they need it. Expects you to read the chapters, and there are quizzes every Friday (easy). There is no final, just an exam. Only 3 assignments. 10/10.

Workload was easy, however, class was extremely lecture based. He doesn't use a lesson plan so he jumps around a lot and the class isn't very cohesive. Can have an attitude towards students as well if they show up late or do something he doesn't like on an assignment - claimed many students didn't care about the class and took points off.

For the assignments if his AI software detects any similarity or senses you cheated, he will automatically give you a F and threaten to make a case against you for academic cheating. Once, you email him to discuss the assignment he will send you a long message on how he will not change your grade no matter what, so a discussion is pointless.

If you are the type to not show up to class, then this class isn't for you. Although there was a lot of reading involved, heavy lectures, and many quizzes he always made the class worth showing up to. He only has 3 assignments throughout the semester. The quizzes were usually every other day, but he did have practice quizzes posted.

Professor Armas is a great guy. He makes the class engaging and simplifies things to be easy to understand. The class can be lecture-heavy, and the tests are very similar to the study guides, but there will always be other questions that you may not have seen before if you hadn't read the book. Very lenient as long as you put in the work!

Professor Armas is the only one who has ever made me enjoy psych. His tests and quizzes are exactly what we go over in class, and then we have three assignments that are mostly opinion-based. He has a great sense of humor and is wonderful at breaking down tough topics. His lectures are so fun to listen to. If you have the chance, take him!

I took his online course and honestly enjoyed it! He is very well organized and you will know exactly what you need to do in order to pass. As a student who works full-time, his online course was perfect for me. It is stated in the syllabus that there's no extra credit but if you put forth QUALITY work, he gives 2 extra points and those add up!
