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.
He is very boring but an easy grader. Most of the time his tests are easy, especially the quizzes. He is always trying to crack jokes. If you want an easy A take his class!!!
He was very interesting and I actually looked forward to class. He trys to be funny which isn't a very common trait for professors these days. If you read the book you will get an A without trying. My favorite teacher so far!!!
Very nice guy. Very funny. Has an accent but not too much. He'll help when asked to help.
Really a nice man. If you study and keep up you will get an A in this class. He trys to make it interesting just keep in mind it's Psych 100.
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.
keeps students attn and makes sense of subject matter
Good teacher, easy class for the work u put into it. was very funny & will not put you to sleep. easy assign & tests are multip guess.
Very cool, funny teacher! Very easy class, a lot of takehome quizzes and even test were takehome. Made psych somewhat enjoyable.
If you ever need to take psychology I really recommend this teacher. He is very helpfull and fair. His assigments are clear and easy. Great teacher one of the best I ever had.
Easy teacher as long as you do the reading and petty work, easy B at least!!
PROFESSOR ARMAS IS AWESOME!!!!
Great teacher! Awesome sense of humor, really knows his stuff too! I definitely recommend this class and this prof!
awesome teacher...soooo funny. deffinatly keeps your attention. always willing to help. take home quizzes and tests also. loved it!
He's a great teacher. Makes the class fun and is always cracking jokes. He asigns little hw but one always has a chance to get a good grade in his class because we have take home quizes and and half of his tests are take home too. TAKE HIM!!!!
Take his class. He is funny and easy-going.
he was an awesome teacher! hes so easy too if you just listen and take good notes!
he is awsome, very funny and helpful. I would recomend him for everyone :)
Prof. Armas is very funny and makes his class a lot of fun. As long as you read the chapters and study a little for the tests you'll do fine. Gives take-home quizzes sometimes and the first half of every exam is take-home too.
Best teacher ever.
This teacher is the bomb.
funny
Prof. Armas is great, he's very funny and makes you laugh all the time. He's very nice and pretty easy, he gives half of an exam to take home. Not a hard teacher at all. I recommend him for anyone.
I was from ESL(English as second language) student just last sememster. So, Psycho class was very hard for me than other students. He helps a lot. I guess if who are from ESL or other contury, he can be more helping you. Not just your study even your situation and mind.
great teacher, easy, first part of test are take home!
Excellent teacher. Very helpful, encourages students to participate in class dsicussions, and good at explaining the class material. He is very fair in terms of grading. It was fun taking his class. I highly recommend him.
awesome teacher. very helpful and willing to explain whenever needed. Funny, with an accent (reminds me of fez from that 70s show) but nonetheless a great teacher. i looked foward to his class.
Do what he asks (not too much). Get a good grade. For the last 6 or so sessions we just reviewed for the final. Each day we showed up of those 6 we got points towards are final. Funny guy. Nice guy. Can half way keep it fun. Tests are half take home, half in class. He even drops your lowest test grade of 4.
this teacher is awsome. easy to get an A
He is awesome! seriously he is so funny, so hiperactive and so nice that he will make you be interested on his topic. The tests are divided in two sections, one take home and the other is in class.. his assignments are very easy. You just have to go to his classes to have full credit in attendance.. He is the choice! Take him!! you wont regret it!.
he is a great teacher... da best teacher i ever had...he explains everything n' he is very funny...u will never get bored in his class...i highly recommend u 2 take dis class....
Great guy
Funny guy, but hard to understand sometimes. His quizes are easy if you get the practice quizes from the internet. test are part take home, part do in class. The in class part is kinda hard if you don't do your textbook reading. Gives us extra points if we participate in class. I'd recommend, likes to tell jokes!
Great techer funny easy quiz go online and take the pratice quiz and u will pass the quiz the 1st have of the test is take home and second in class. take him. he gives extra points make sure u come to class.
This professor is wonderful and very interesting. Quizes and assignments are easy. Half of exams are take home. Love to take him for another course. Highly recommeneded
i highly recommend this prof. easy to get extra credit, he drops a test grade, very funny. the quizzes can be taken online before class time, making them an easy A. very interesting, well worth your time.
Fantastic professor. Uses loads of psysical expression and humor to really captivate his class. He presents the material in terms that are very easy to understand, and made an already enjoyable class even more enjoyable. Bravo.
Awesome person. Great sense of humor, sometimes hard to understand. Even attended one of my soccer games with his daughter, great guy.
Great teacher. Very good at keeping the classroom involved and at explaining ideas in interesting ways. Has a great sense of humor! Quizzes and tests are nothing to be afraid of.
He is a great teacher. Real good at explaining things. Real funny, picks on everyone, even himself. His tests are a little hard but if you study real well you'll do fine. tests are half take home half in class. quizes on every chpt. but his grading theories are great. Show up to class, just because its fun.
He was a great profssor. Must show up for class. Very easy to get a A if you do just a little work. Would take him again.
I always told people it's not what i'm taught but how i'm taught it, and Prof. Armas is one of the easiest teachers to learn from. I seriously reccommend anybody for his classes. Very good sense of humor and very easy to get along with. If you ever had a problem with something from the textbook or the homework, he is always right on top of things.
THIS TEACHER WAZ THA SHIZNIT!
This prof is just a waste of time...SImply useless and dont know how to teach!!
Prof Armas is an awesome teacher, period! Very funny, and is interactive with his students. If you have probs w/ thew class, address them w/ him and he will help you in what I feel is above the norm. Attendance is manditory, however, he is so good that you will want to go. Can seem moody at times but it is rare. Definately worth taking his classes.
This is my secon semester! Great guy, VERY FUNNY with his accent he reminds me of cheech, I look forward to his classes becuase its worth my while. Work is not hard just make sure that you do it and study, the class work is what you make of it. Love him!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this teacher. He was very understanding that I had to work and go to school at the same time. He's very easy tow worked with and has a awesome personality!! I would totally take him again!!
Doesn't utilize time wisely. (Takes him a whole class period to cover three vocabulary terms.) Does NOT know material and gets help from the students to finish the lecture, even though their comments are incorrect. Not to mention, ****. Gives bonus points to slackers for showing up in class.
He is a very nice teacher, he makes the class vey enjoyable and people learn with him. He is a excellent instructor
He is a really good teacher. Finally! has sense of humor & keeps the classes attention, fun to be in class. pay attention & take good notes. notes taken in class will be in quizzes & tests and read.then you should do good in the class. RECOMMEND THIS TEACHER!! Hes so cool and funny!!
Great teacher: funny, fair and explains things well. He made class interesting, although some chapters were kind of boring. He's not hard, but some of the take-home exams were on the hard side, easy homework. He likes ESL students. It was a cool class.
Professor Armas is HILARIOUS! His class is really fun to go to. There are 4 sections each with 3- 10pt. quizzes (the lowest one is dropped), 1 homework assignment and a test (50 questions take-home and 50 in class). If you are taking Intro to Psych...TAKE HIM! He's great!
Armas is awesome!! definitely one of the best teachers i've ever had!!! Pick him because he is very clear and makes everything very comprehensible!!kudos to armas!! lol :)
DR Armas is fun, and a great teacher! he makes class enjoyable and is very fair on quizzes and tests. and theres no homework. and hes good at basketball! :]
Professor Armas made Psych. very fun. He is a hilarious teacher who makes learning fun. He does a good job explaining the material. Def. would recommend.
I love this class. He was very good teacher. Quiz and tests are very easy. 50% of test done from home. easy to get grade in this class.
Best Teahcer i ever had at COD. Easy,funny,knows alot, grading and assignments are easy.
this teacher is a good teacher your exams are 100 questions but 50 ofthose are take home and they come right out of the book. He is funny and makes the class fun, one thing he is big on attendance. and on the quizzes for the section he throws out which ever one has the lowest grade.
He is the best teacher one can possibly have! but the exams are hard. so u need to learn exactly what is in the book!
SIGN UP WITH PROFESSOR ARMAS!! Say no more--Professor Armas is obviously popular..TAKE EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY!!
I took intro and evolutionary psych with armas. he is a great teacher. extremely funny! the class is not boring and fairly easy. he is by far my favorite teacher so far.
Not only did I enjoy attending this class, but I learned a lot! Professor Armas was friendly, fun, and approachable. He attacked the curriculum with a fierce excitement for the topics and that got me excited to learn :0) By far one of my favorties!
Excellent teacher! very funny! great class! he is the bomb!
Made this class very interesting...almost fun. Was extremely helpful.
Great professor. When I took his classes I was going through a hard time in my life and he would take the time to help me through the course. I learned a lot from him. I'm a Psychology major now, thanks to him. You will learn a lot in his class. Highly recommended.
Good teacher! He trys to keep you interested and does a pretty good job. He's a little bit hard to understand at times, but for the most part its not that bad. If you're a sleeper, don't plan on it.
has a great sense of humor, keeps you on your toes. The assignments are interesting. Tests are a cross from easy to tricky. first part of exams are take home. you need to read the chapters and take good notes if you want to pass his class.
Professor Armas is hilarious. He does have an accent but I didn't have a problem with it. He makes psychology fun and interesting. I definitely recommend him for Psych. but if you don't plan to show up, dont take it. Attendance is part of your grade and he keeps up on it. Also its very note and book heavy. But none the less, best class ever
Prof. Armas,the best Psychology prof I have ever seen. He knows the subject very well and is very helpful. He is funny n makes his class interesting. He makes you earn that 'A'. If u attend all his classes n pay attention to what he says in class,u r sure to get a good grade in his class! Prof. Armas is the best! I would definately recommend him!!
Great teacher. Very funny, keeps your interest high. 4 sections in class, a 10 question quiz for each chapter, and then a 50 question exam multiple choice for every 3 chapters. also gives 50 question take home exam. and an online site for reviewing quizes. Overall not hard, just pay attention, take notes, and read and youll get an A, i did.
he's interesting and also keeps it pretty funny in class
He is a Great teacher! i enjoyed going to his class. His lectures are interesting and he is hilarious. However, his tests are hard, so read the book carefully and attendance is mandatory!
one of the most useless professors. he can barley even speak English and i have never seen any professor play favorites like Armas does. If you are one of those people who doesnt like to talk in his class every day then avoid armas at all cost. he penalizes particpation HUGE. Also he spends more time with anatomy of the brain. boring
Armas is hilarious and very helpful. His assignments are easy and he will also give you points for attendance. He makes perfect sense of the material he explains and always uses funny examples, you sure will learn a lot in his class. His take home test are challenging but the test in class are easier. Highly recommend him for psychology!
Seriously,the funniest professor of my life!He makes everything so clear& makes you visualize everything you are learning.I always remember things because he uses funny stories to make you remember what he is teaching.Yes, you have to read the book sometimes &take notes, you are not in freaking middle school or middle school, grow up and do work!
He is the teacher to take! Soo funny and highly intelligent. Yeah, he doesn't speak English that well, but come on, give the guy a break, he's brilliant!Makes learning fun and interesting, don't take the class if you're gonna sleep or ditch. You get the grade you deserve; You get what you put in. Highly recommend him, so funny!
He's awesome! Helped me plenty of times with assignments. Very fun, keeps learning intresting. The classroom is his stage and he's trying out for the last comic standing. Don't get caught in the presentation, listen to the information. P
he knows what hes teaching, hes prepared all the time. tests are good. he used good teaching techniques and most of all he's FUNNY.
i dont know why people say he can barely speak english... he just has an accent... he speaks english perfectly fine?! i loved this class... he gives you 2 part tests where 1 is take home the other is in class. his tests are what he teaches but he teaches just like the book says. just read the chapters and highlight the main points and your gold
Prof Armas is not only a very intelligent and easy to like man, but he also uses a very unique and easy to follow type of teaching. If you have any problems, e-mail him, let him know, and it will make your life ALOT easier. Reccomend this prof. if you have to take any classes he teaches, though attendance is important, you will actually want to com
Professior Armas, is a great teacher, he makes sure you learn, your involed and he keeps it interesting. By far he was the best professior i've had. All you have to do to get a good grade is apply yourself.
he was an awesome teacher he always kept the class laughing but we were always learning. the whole class always showed up to his lectures.. it was pretty str8. his tests were kinda hard but what can you do?? lol i'd take the class again it was that cool!!
Good teacher, he does have an accent but it didnt brother me. You have an attendance grade. There is no comprehensive final. There are 4 tests over multiply chapters and a quiz on each section. The online quizzes will help you a ton! The tests are half take home and half in class. They are difficult but not ridiculous. I would take him again.
Awesome teacher. You get half the test as take home then do the rest in class.You get to drop one quiz in each section (4 sections). He gives you a website to go to with practice quizzes. Many of the questions end up on the real quizzes. He's really funny and nice teacher. Attendance is important. Probably one of my favorite teachers. Take Him!!
MOST AMAZING TEACHER EVER! BY FAR MY FAVORITE!! he was soo funny and made class a blast. he made discussion fun and was very clear. The tests are easy if you study for them. Came out with a B. Half the test is take home and you can work with other people on it. The assignemts are soo simple, just easy papers. i would reccomend him to anyone!
He is a really good teacher, I took an eight week class with him and it was just wonderful, 3 hours of lecture would be a lot for psychology and Professor Armas made it fun and simple. He uses very good examples that are down to earth and he is always there to answer a question you may have. I really enjoyed taking his class!!
Professor Armas is an enthusiastic teacher. He had wonderful examples that made learning the material fun and understandable! He uses helpful videos to increase understanding of topics and his lectures are worth attending because of the lessons learned both in psychology and in daily life. I recommend taking psychology from him-
I took Armas at the beginning of last year, and I have to say he's probably one of the best teachers I've ever had. Not only does he make class extremely fun and interesting, the material is extremely clear and you get back exactly the grade you earn. I can still remember the class material from back then; an absolute must take class.
LOVED HIM! TAKE HIM YOU WILL LOVE THE CLASS GUARNATTED
Professer Arams is a very good teacher. he makes the class interesting and very fun. he has take home quizez and his regular quizes are easy if u study. he has 4 tests throughout the semester that go over 3 chapters each. if u do well on the quizzes you will get an A on the tests. i recommend you take him, hes a wonderful teacher. VERY EASYY!
The best college professor i've ever had. He is VERY sweet, effin hilarious and makes the class very good to understand and fun. His accent is not bothersome and if you have a problem with him, there's something wrong with YOU. He's a great guy and i'd take his class again in a heartbeat. Loves his students, helps whenever needed. Just WONDERFUL:)
He is a GREAT teacher, he is so funny, and nothing is too hard! Hes just hilarious and actually learns his students names and deff konws alot about psych! his accent is bad but if u just ask, he will explain anything you want.
He's funny and nice, but I like how he handles the slackers. Loved his class, I tell all my friends to take him. Just read what others say. w
AMAZING TEACHER!! IF YOU LOVE GEORGE LOPEZ YOU WILL LOVE HIM!! SUPPER FUNNY AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND!! I RECOMEND HIM TO EVERYONE I KNOW!!!
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!!
Very funny guy!!! he knows everyones name n the class always has "story time" Best COD teacher ever!!!
Mr. Armas is pretty funny but really hard. Nothing that he teaches in class is on the test. You MUST get the book in order to pass this class. He likes to make fun of people too so hope you're feelings don't get hurt too easily. I got a good grade but I had to work really hard for it!
GREAT TEACHER!! VERY FUNNY, NICE and SMART. WILL HELP YOU, AND MAKE SURE U GO TO CLASS(GIVES POINTS)
Professor Armas is one of the best professors I have come across at COD!! Take him and you will not regret it. 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!!
hands down one of the most gifted teachers at cod. he runs his class in somewhat of strict format (which means that if just wanna talk and text sitting in back of room find another class. but for students at cod who actually wanna learn professer armas is your guy. you rock armas!
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.
VERY COOL PSYCH PROF. Stories were GOOD. He follows the syllabus & ExCr= +. It's like this u know ur there to learn. So there's rules, but we all know if u follow the rules u'll pass, u brk the rules..well that's ur prob. Prof Armas is a real straight up guy. The class keeps u coming back. If u do the work u pass, do the assignments, read the book.
Most amazing teacher at COD. if you want to pass. do the 4 assigments. he gives out 3 half take home n half in class test. very funny and easy. will remind you of george lopez. very understandable.
Awesome professor. He made learning fun again for me. Show up to class and take notes and read the chapters and you will be good. No surpirses, everything is layed out for you. Prof. Armas is always willing to take the time to clarify any questions you have about the material.
Great teacher
Hilarious and keeps the class engaged! His grading style is kind of cool and different. Great teacher overall, he just won a faculty award actually! :) Recommend him 100%!!!
He makes this class interesting because you can tell he is passionate of what he does. He is funny and reminds me of George Lopez. I looked forward to come to this class every day and honestly COD needs more teachers like him! Great teacher recommend him for sure!
He is one of my favorite teachers by farrrr. He is extremelly funny (yes, a little bit like george lopez) , nice, willing to help, and knows what he is talking about. there are nooo surprises. the book is necessary for quizes. def recomend him!
Best teach ever! So funny and makes the class so much fun. Very clear with the material and what is on the tests. Only 4 assignments and test questions are from the book and online quizes. I recomend taking him 100% if you can!
TAKE THIS TEACHER. hes awesome. makes the class so much fun and if you take this class, tell him Tony from the Jonas Brothers sent you...he'll understand
Great teacher! Made everything pretty clear and simple. An easy 'B' for sure but you have to work a little bit for an 'A', do the online quizzes!
LOVED this teacher! he makes you laugh all the time!! just do online quizzes and the flashcards on the norton site and you will pass with an A for sure. reading chapter will give you extra help too they are just very long. He is a great teacher, would definitely take him for another class if i could!
He is a great teacher who knows what he is talking about, and knows how to teach. Easy A if you do the work and participate in class. he is funny and easy going take this class u will have fun!!!
One of my favorite professors. He knows how to make you laugh while teaching. I definitely learned a lot and was always looking forward to attending his class. More teachers need to be like him.
attendance is mandatory.. he's a nice guy but makes mistake in grading sometimes... take home tests are medium.. go over book's website for quizzes.
amazing. just gi to class pay attention take notes its a fun class
Armas is awesome! He's hilarious and a really great teacher.
I wish he taught all psych classes. He is funny and easy. It would be nice if all teachers could make their class this entertaining. I never missed his class. I have nothing negative to say. He is GREAT!!
He's awesum... one of the best professors i hav ever had.
professor armas is awesome i so loved this class if i could retake him i so would i wish all professors were like him he makes so many joke especially toward me because i took the class with my mom that was an experience of a life time thanks professor armas
Armas is a great teacher. He jokes around a lot, but still gets his lessons across in a pretty clear way. If you take notes (he will tell you what's important) and use the website for practice, you'll be fine; the quizzes are all really easy. The assignments are also very simple. I learned a lot and am more interested in Psychology now!
OK here is the real low down on professor Armas.He is so nice and so friendly. The guy is easy to talk to and is really understanding. He makes class so funny.At times I could not stop laughing.For take home tests and tests in class READ THE BOOK and your notes. Do the onnline quizzes too, the questions are the same as his quizzes. Love this guy !
Its not hard to get an A in his class if you work as you are told to do. he gives take home quizzes and exams which gives you a chance to do well. the assignments are easy and you can score full points on them if you listen to the instructions carefully. he makes the class by joking around in the class.
He's a great professor! The thing that I liked about him was that he made psychology interesting. I've never understood something so complex, so simply by all of his enjoyable clarifications. Definitely/highly recommended!!
Armas is very funny, engaging, and interesting. At first, I was a little turned off by the fact that it's necessary to read the book chapter before class, but once I started doing it, I aced the exams. There is just a lot of new material/terminology to cover, so class is mostly for clarification and solidifying knowledge.
The man is a good teacher I can honestly say I loved going to class just because psych is an interesting class (atleast for me) and he is hilarious!!! One thing I will say, the class isnt easy. He makes you work for the A, you have to put in the work. I wldnt take him again though bc the easy A is what im looking for and hes not it.
This man is a Genius! He makes learning so much fun. Show up and do the work and BAM you got an A. Take the class you won't be sorry.
Great Professor!Hes a very funny and likeable guy,jokes around alot and makes the material interesting.Tests are kinda hard but he gives them n 2 parts and the first is takehome.attendance is mandatory but if you email him that your sick or something he will understand Just show up for class,pay attention to syllabus,take notes and youll get an A.
Prof Armas is the funniest professor or teacher I've ever had. He really made examples to words in psych so that it really made sense. And the class would be cracking up every 10 minutes. He makes fun of the jock/football players in our class and the people that don't pay attention. He gives points for attendance too!
Awesome and hilarious teacher! Great sense of humor and so entertaining. He's great at explaining things and will always help you with any questions you have. Do the work, show up, and study and you will be fine. wish he taught more classes so I could take them!
Best.Teacher.Ever. He is hilarious, but also a great teacher with the material. A MUST TAKE
Took his class over the summer (3 hours a day). Thought it would be boring, but a week in I was actually looking forward to going, simply because he's funny, engaging, and incredibly helpful. Made a dry topic fun. Does not like people texting, and you get points for showing up. Assignments are easy, tests are too if you take notes. Take this!!
The Best Teacher on Earth. He is so easy. i love him. really easy. 4 test a quiz every week but they are from online so they are really easy.
He's very clear with his lectures. He gives points for class attendance. He is so helpful that he helped me with my Spanish which was already good anyway. AND he's beautiful.
Professor Armas is a great teacher! I definitely recommend him as a teacher! Attendance counts as part of your grade, but the class goes by fast. There are in- class and take home quizzes. and The tests consist of two parts: 50 questions take home and 50 questions in class. He tells you everything that will be on it. all from the notes!! take him!
This guy is the by far, the best person to teach you anywhere. He is always very helpful, always one to make us laugh, and just a great guy. I am so sad to leave his class, and I have made sure that the next Psych class will be with him. Take him, it will be the best for you.
Such a brilliant man and one of the few classes I've ever been in where I laughed til I cried. His lectures were extensie and they really stuck with me. I regretted when this class ended, it was a brilliant course and Armas is a great instructor. He really seemed to pay attention to his students. Take him,even if you aren't interested in psychology
Professor Armas was great and his lectures were interesting. The class is not easy but if you do the required work then it's an easy A. I would highly recommend him. I will miss his class.
Prof. Armas is a very funny teacher, and liked to joke around a lot, but when it came to class time and teaching he took it serious. His exams consisted of 2 sections 1 take-home (a little hard) and 1 in-class (easy). I recommend taking the online quizzes; they really help out with the in-class exams. Loved him! :)
One of the best teachers you will ever find! If you dont take him, you are truly missing out!
Prof. Armas is an amazing professor. He reminded me of my family with his accent but Pay attention to his lectures, he knows his stuff. Likes to joke around before and after class but is serious about covering material. IM WAITING FOR HIS SPRING SEMESTER CLASS
He takes attendance everyday so go to class four hw assignmets in the semster but they are easy also four take home test take home part kind of hard in class easy lectures are good but he makes them interesting and thats the jist of the class, if he tells u to read something to do it because he usually quizes you on em! only 10 ? but they add up!
Great teacher, he's so funny! Its a fun class, Armas never bores me, im always so interested in everything we learn. Definitely my favorite professor yet!
awesome teacher. go to class tests and quizes are mostly on his lectures. you will learn alot and and have a great teacher. its the best psychology class to take
I love his class, he knows everyone by name so you're not just a number in his class. He likes to joke around with the students, but in a nice/funny way. He is willing to help you with anything all you have to do is ask. TAKE HIS CLASS YOU'LL LOVE IT!
What a fantastic teacher. Honestly. Clear passion for the topic, clear notes. Quizzes are easy if you use his study tools. Also a very funny guy.. Made the class super enjoyable.
Professor Armas is the best teacher ever. his class is los of fun and it is interesting.As long as yu follow directions you will do great in his class. He gives take home tests and quizes which gives you a chance to get a good grade on it. I strongly recommend taking his class.He is AWESOME!!!!
Professor Armas is an energetic and helpful man. He's super nice and will make you laugh. The course material is structured in a way that makes it easy to succeed. Frequent 10 question quizzes and three tests total. It does take some work and you always have to be there but the A is worth it! :)
He is really a great teacher. He teaches using this program on his computer which was alright. He gives a tests and a two quizzes per chapter and a small project per unit. The first half of every test is take home. The quizzes are directly from this website that he gives you. Fairly easy class. Great teacher, really nice guy.
He is an amazing professor and I will be taking other psych courses with him. Made the class easy to understand and quite enjoyable. He does not tolerate cell phone use in class nor obsessive tardiness.
Professor Armas is the best psych teacher. He made the class really interesting. He is really funny. Test/quizzes are not to hard. The 1st 50 questions were take home, kind of hard but doable. 2nd part in class, it was pretty easy. There is no way to fail this class, unless you don't try. If you are looking for a psych teacher, I would take him.
best professor he tells you what's going be on the test(s), very clear on the material and will give out main idea to write this professor got me interested in psychology and want to learn more about it.
Professor Armas is one of the best professors I've had. The course gets hard if you don't pay attention in class which is not hard to do because his lectures are so interesting! Pay attention and you'll do fine!
This teacher was horrible! He would go off onto random facts and conversations. If you didnt go home and read the book the night before you would have no idea what he was talking about. Also had an accent and was hard to understand sometimes.
Prof. Armas is a very good professor. Would highly recommend him. Wants each assignment done a certain way and they're pretty easy to follow. Lectures were interesting, quizzes were easy as long as you practiced and studied. Tests were divided between take home and in class, assignments were easy. Overall, class was easy and manageable.
Awesome teacher!!!
Prof Armas is a pretty funny guy. He does have an accent but you get over that real soon. Overall his class is easy if you read and listen to his lectures. He likes to keep the lights off too. I usually get really sleepy in his class when he does lecture though.
This teacher had a well layout for the course. Reading is a must. Only 4 discussion board posts and 4 tests for a 12 week course. Tests are 76% of grade, so make sure to study! I would recommend this course.
Humorous and very interesting lectures. This class is an easy B but tough A. You really have to stay on top of your stuff to get an A. Test questions are difficult and require in depth reading from the text book. Excellent professor!
This professor was average. hes not the best but not the worst. he can be a bit confusing at times. sometimes he goes away from the syllabus. and you really need the book so you can read and memorize on your own time. he covers things in class very quickly so you really need to read the book on your own.
Mr. Armas was my favorite teacher my first semester. It's a tough class and I really had to work for my B. Very funny lectures. P.S=If you sit front row don't sleep he enjoys giving you a little kick or pat on your head. Pick him as your psych teacher.
Bad teacher... Sure he is cool and funny but he is a terrible teacher.. He doesn't really follow the book he jumps from topic to topic which gets really confusing.The quizzes are hard and confusing, doesn't really go what's over them before.The tests are hard because he doesn't teach you the things that are on there. I would get a different teacher
At the beginning of the semester he caught me day dreaming and made a joke about it. I was much more attentive after that and got a better grade because of it. Fun professor. Makes sure his class is paying attention and makes difficult material easy to understand.
Mr. Armas was horrible. I took his class online and he made assignments due on days that we didn't have class, he didn't give enough time for quizzes or exams. He doesn't offer extra credit and when you ask for help he gives you this long story about why he cannot help you and just tells you to withdrawal from the class. Take a diff prof!!
He's really funny and makes psychology interesting! There's very little homework and he gives you the opportunity to earn extra credit by participating in class. However, most of the points come from quizzes and tests which are quite difficult. Overall, I would recommend him.
Professor Armas is great! He makes attending class enjoyable. Pts. are given for attendance, assignments (/section~3), quizzes (/chapter, which ?s usu. come from the online practice quizzes), exams (/section~3)& extra credit is given for certain participation. As long as you complete the assignments,READ THE CHAPTERS, & take notes you'll get an A!
Very enjoyable course, inactive with class lectures and notes. He is a very funny teacher and always gives help when asked . As long as you pay attention and study you will be fine
Professor Armas made this class a great experience. He is helpful, goes over everything he wants you to know, quizzes on each chapter. Interesting lectures, puts things in real world experiences. Points for attendance, minimal homework. Just arrive, listen, take notes, use study space and you learn and will pass . Great Professor, Great experience.
Professor Armas class was very interesting. The test and quizzes where straightforward. He told you what you needed to know about the quizzes and test. The project where easy if you followed his instructions. If you are looking for a fair Professor take his class
GREAT teacher..super funny..and helpful. If you attend class and seem interested then you WILL pass!
One of the worst professors ive had, done make the same mistake i did and take this class. When he talks he sounds like josh from the tv show drake and josh. He pronounces the word research like RAYSEARCH and says it times a class period. He also doesnt allow cellphone use in class. he sucks dont take him
I have earned collegiate credit hours amounting to over 220 credit hours; for you freshem unaware of what that is, its close to enough for a doctaorate. And, I can say from the bottom of me heart this is one of the best, if not the best professors I have ever had.
I loved Prof. Armas. He was strict, but he is very supportive of each students learning needs as long as the student is ready to learn. He was also really funny and he had the best sense of humor. I would take every class with him if I could.
A very interesting, personal, and caring teacher. He will walk around the room and get everyone involved. There are powerpoints for reference, but he does not read off of them, he tells stories and acts out the information. Ask him to send you the powerpoints--some of them have info that is on the tests and quizzes! You NEED to read the book!
I absolutely loved this class!!! Professor Armas has a great sense of humor which makes the class engaging.You definitely won't sleep here! There was never a dull moment and all of the learning material was straight forward. There's no easy A based on the material, but if you follow Mr. Armas' instructions you should have no problems getting an A.
Took as a 9 am summer class, never felt sleepy for a second. One of the most engaging professors out there, knows what he's talking about, and is there to make sure you leave class knowing the information. The only way to not get an A or B is to actively resist learning, or just not showing up
He tells his students what is going to be on the exam so pay attention. He gives points for attendance so if you don't show up it will hurt you in the long run. Overall a great teacher but he does has an accent so if you don't understand professors with accents I don't recommend him.
One of the best teachers. His first language was spanish, so he has an accent and at times can be hard to understand. He really takes the time to learn your name and cares about all of his students. If you pay attention in class, show up and participate you should do well. His tests are all based off of the book, so it's important to read the ch.
He was great, I had him over the summer. He's funny and really knows his stuff. Really good power points. Take home parts of tests and some in class. Quizzes were take home. I used the book on tests and quizzes. Don't really need it in class. He's really clear about everything. I'd definitely take him again.
Attendance is mandatory. Read the assigned reading, take notes in class and you should get a good grade. Final was not cumulative, and quiz every week. 3 exams total. He also calls on students who don't seem to be paying attention it can be embarrassing for those who aren't. Overall, a really great instructor. I'd take him again.
He is the best teacher! He makes you laugh and he makes class very engaging and when he speaks he is always trying to help the students. He tells you what's going to be on the test. Not many quizzes most of them are take-home. Plus his tests are half in class and half at home! He is the best teacher
The reviews are right in that hes funny and helpful but thats only if you had taken him for a previous course. He ignores and is rude to you if youre a new student & compares you to his old ones. Coming from someone who studied Neuroscience at UIC and is taking this course to renew "recency credit", he wont credit you if youre right & puts you down
This was my first psych course and he was amazing. He only has three tests and the last one is counted as the final. They are split in half for 50 questions to be done at homewith friends and 50 in class which is nice. And small 10 point quizzes now and then. He is honestly the best I think.
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!
amazing and fun lectures! test and quizzes are tough but if u take notes and read the chapters then they are easy. You need the book always! Has strong accent- which means it tough to understand him! Always there to help you. Participation will give you extra credit.
Professor Armas is honestly the BEST professor at COD. It was an overall easy A. He gives 3 test, and 9 quizzes. His lectures are hilarious!!!!!!!! Will take him again! Textbook is mandatory.
Probably one of the best professors I have ever had. He is very friendly and you can tell he knows what he is talking about. He gave only 2 or 3 easy assignments the entire semester. He lectures daily, but they are very interesting. Reading the chapter is useful but not necessary if you pay attention in class. I highly recommend him.
Funny, but confusing, when questions were asked sometimes he couldn't even answer them himself. He lost track of the subject a lot.
Took this class over the summer, and am thankful that I did. Class was never a drag and he knows his stuff. Everything was well organized as outlined clearly on his syllabus. Quizzes and exams are scantron, you get attendance points so go to class, and 3 projects. Act like an adult, be respectful and you'll be fine. awesomeeee guy
Armas was really nice, class was majority boring power points really but tests are easy, quizzes after each chapter are easy, just show up and you'll be good.
Awesome professor, has great life examples and interacts with his students. You have three tests. The third is the final. It is 50 questions take home and the other 50 in class. There are quizzes once a week but they are simple. Only gave 2 homework assignments and they take 30 minutes maximum to finish. easy A
Dr. Armas is a really nice guy. He has a thick accent that you will get used to by the end of the semester. The reading isn't mandatory but the quizzes are from the reading (There is a quiz almost every week). The test are pretty hard, but don't worry. Since you get points for attendance, and other assignments you are guaranteed a B.
Always looked forward to coming to Psych, because his lectures were interesting and he is a funny guy. Not too many assignments, just take the online quiz for each chapter, because he uses the same Q's on the quizzes. There are three tests, first 50 questions are open book outside of class, the other half is in class. Simple, easy and to the point.
Take home tests are straight from the book. His lectures are dope, especially if you participate. Honestly, I take that back and I truly think his class it kick ass and he makes everything into a personal understanding rather than a simple definition, Take this if you want a great experience from an expert
He lays out his class very well and is very organized. 30% of your grade is showing up to class and doing the homework assignment for each of the three sections. the quizzes are tough if you don't read. Half of the exam is take home. Overall he was okay currently holding a low B with one section to go.
Armas is an okay teacher. He has a clear cut grading scale that consist of 3 units and each of them is worth 100 points. The quizzes and test are tough if you don't read or show up to class. 15 points per section for attendance and 15 for doing a simple 30 minute writing assignment. Overall he isnt a bad teacher and hes got a good personality.
Mr. Armas is a great professor. He explains things well. He also will keep you engaged and laughing! I highly recommend him!
Prof. Armas is a great teacher! His lectures are fun, and he goes into detail about the material. Attendance is a must if you want to get a good grade! The tests are really challenging, but the assignments are pretty straightforward. I would definitely recommend taking him!
Professor Armas is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He is hilarious, I was excited to go to his class because I laughed so hard. He cares a lot about his students. His tests are hard but he has two parts of it, a take home part 50 points and 50 points in class. He gives 3 assignments, but he's an easy grader. I'd take him again!
Funny. Easy to tell what grade you will get in the class. If you have a hard time understanding people with accents, don't take him.
Great teacher. He is to the point but his class was easy. Drops Lowest quiz grade in each section. Part of the test is take home. Just don't miss his class. Text book is needed.
Had to take a Psych class and I'm glad i took his class. Interesting lectures, tough test though! But study a lil bit every other day and an A is in reach.
Attendance was for credit, but the tests only included material that he had been over in class. The textbook is necessary for take-home quizzes and exams. Overall, fun lectures but disorganized for note taking.
Great teacher, he explained everything that would be important for tests and quizzes. He's funny too and keeps class interesting by coming up with different scenarios and examples for the material. Definitely recommend taking good notes and attending classes.
Mr. Armas is super funny. 50 minute lectures do not seem long at all. Only three 50 question take home exams and three 50 question in class exams. the final is on the last three chapters of the book. Easy class if you attend. Really great guy and keeps you interested. NO HOMEWORK. Please take him, you will not regret it!!!
Armas is fantastic. He's hilarious during lectures. And he takes boring material and makes it very interesting! The quizzes can be tough if you don't read the book. The tests are half take home and the last half is done in class. The class was difficult due to the content but he does help his students out.
His lectures are always funny, Make sure you come on days when there is a quiz, bc there are no make ups for those. Assignments are pretty easy. read the textbook and you will do great. Highly recommend him.
Highly recommended
The first half of all the tests is take home which is incredibly helpful. He drops 3 of the lowest quiz grades. There are 3 essays outside of class, if you can really call them essays, but they are so easy and straightforward. Attendance is a pretty big part of your grade, but if you email him before hand you get half credit. A good choice
He's great! Super funny, I actually learned things from him. He makes class fun, the hour doesn't feel long and it's just fun to be there. There are a total of three exams for the semester, each about the three chapters that were gone over in class (including the final exam, being exam three).
this professor is horrible, we had been emailing back and forth concerning my grades, i thought i had done everything i was doing things as they appeared online and on the syllabus but i received a letter in the mail about my grade, i emailed this professor about my concerns and he told me im a poor listener and decision maker and told me to drop
Great professor, hilarious as well. Class is pretty easy and as long as you put the effort in you will get a good grade. Lectures are interesting and definitely would take him again.
He was a really awesome teacher. He is really funny and has really well constructed lectures. Very entertaining.
The quizzes were easy & based off of everything he said in class. He even told us the 1st question on the exam on the first day of each unit. If you wrote down what he says during lecture you will do fine. 1/2 the test is take home and the other half are questions from the readings and quizzes (word for word from the quizzes).
Professor Felipe Armas always made his lectures interesting, understandable and easy to listen to.
Professor Armas is extremely funny and an extraordinary teacher. Everyday is a lecture, and each one is well put together and easily understandable. Be sure to go to class every Friday and take the practice quizzes, as there is a quiz at the end of the week. Overall, I highly recommend him. I have no doubt most people will greatly enjoy his class.
His lecture is very easy to understand, you do need to show up to pass the class.
I took this class online and it was really easy to follow. You have to read the book and take quizzes and test online. You can definitely get an easy A as long as you read the book.
Armas is straight forward with what he expects you to know and do on hw assignments. Also his lectures are extremely interesting, even though I am usually not a fan of psych. He really captures your attention. Make sure you get the book, take home exams are not taught in class and all in the textbook. However, in class exams are all from the notes.
Professor Armas is an amazing teacher! He is very clear on his expectations for the class for each student. During class lectures he uses visuals and further explains concepts making it easier to grasp. He is very clear on what to expect on quiz and exam! First part of exams are take home, definitely reccommend.
Test are 100 questions, 50 questions are take home. Attend class since he gives some test questions and answers prior to the in-class test. You have 3 test (including final) and 3 assignments. He is also funny! Recommend him!
Professor Armas is one of the best professors I have ever had at COD. He is so funny and makes the class fun !! 3 exams the exams are broken into two half take home and half in class. 100 questions on the tests. Weekly quizzes easy if you study from the practice quiz online. Also 3 major assignments. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field.
Horrible teacher, doesn't care too much if you understand material. Would not recommend this teacher!!
This teacher was so awful! His lectures are all over place, hard to follow. He doesn't teach half of what is on quizzes, so you better read book!!! If u don't understand material you're on your own. Would not recommend.
If you participate in class, read the book, take notes, & do the online practice quizzes, this class is easy. Armas has a great sense of humor and keeps things interesting. READ THE BOOK BEFORE ATTENDING THE LECTURE. He jumps from topic to topic fast, so read the assigned chapters to get the most out of the lecture. No extra credit is offered.
Overall a dude that can make it fun to be in class with because of his humor. The class itself is pretty easy as nearly all of the quizzes can be practiced online beforehand and he drops 1 quiz grade from each section, and many of the test answers come from there as well. 15% of the grade is attendance. Didn't even have the book and still got an A.
Professor Armas is a great professor he is super funny and has amazing lectures. Part of the exams are take home. Quizzes are short. Definitely would take him again.
He is by far the easiest professor I have ever taken. This class was easy to understand, easy A. I took this class online and it was easy to understand from the lectures and reading the book. This class is an easy A, if you do the work and put time into it you will pass this class either with an A or B.
Mr. Armas is a wonderful teacher. His lectures are easy to follow and you do learn a lot rather than a teacher reading off of slides not teaching much. He includes the class by asking questions. Homework is not bad, just get it done and you wont have a problem passing as well as learning some knowledge.
Very funny and good teacher. Take home half of exams are very helpful and class is never boring.
Great lectures and light hearted jokes that keep you entertained while learning!
His accent is a bit hard to follow, but he does an overall great job in explaining the material. The online practices quizzes are a life saver!!! Attend class because he does tend to give the answers to questions on future exams and quizzes.
Professor Armas is incredibly engaging during lecture because of his knowledge and comedic stories.
He is amazing and easy going person. His lectures were always so detailed, helpful for the quizzes and test. He gave many examples to explain the material, often made jokes to keep the friendly atmosphere. Be ready to ready the book attentively as he uses examples on tests from the book and from online test trainer.
His class is easy if you do the work. He literally sets you up so you can pass the class. Half of each exam are take home and on top of that during lectures he also will give you hints to what will be on the other half of the exams. He's really funny and makes the class interesting. Make sure you attend class because he gives points for attendance
Professor Armas has been my favorite professor at College of DuPage and I highly recommend taking him. His psychology class is very interesting and he does a fantastic job at keeping the class entertained and engaged throughout his lectures. He is very funny which makes the class more enjoyable. Exams are half take-home, quizzes are from the book.
One of the best classes I've taken because I had Professor Armas. I looked forward to going to class because he always keep the lectures entertaining . He knew everyone in our class by name and respected each of us. If you are thinking about taking this class I would 100% recommend taking it with him. Always available during office hours for help.
Best professor I have had, would highly recommend taking this class with him. His lectures were so funny and always connected the topics to real life which really helped me understand the material. Very kind person and is always available outside of class for extra help. Bring book to class and take the practice quizzes.
He relates real life situations to the class and will always make you laugh. But notes are very important in this class
Great teacher, grades quizzes/exams in a timely manner. Gets back to you right away. I took his online class which was super easy to keep up with. 3 big assignments but nothing hard. Take him while you can. You wont regret it.
Hes one of the best Psychology professors I have ever had. He makes sure his lectures are interesting and he is very funny. He gives you quizzes frequently but theyre pretty easy because theyre straight off the practice quiz online. Only downside is he doesnt post on blackboard but he lets you know what grade you have in his class.
Professor Armas is a funny guy, as long as you don't get offended easily. His lectures are all over the place but eventually you'll learn to understand them. If you ask a question he makes sure you understand the answer. Grading is clear, make sure you do your assignments on time, they're easy. Ask questions, you might get extra credit points.
He is an excellent professor. He recognizes and rewards you for sincere effort. His assignments are more about you understanding and applying psychology to real life situations, instead of memorizing dates and terms. However, there is is some dates and terms memorization. Assignments may be watching documentaries and writing a paper about it.
Great teacher! Test were a little tough but the assignments were easy. There is reading of certain chapters. If you read the material, look at the provided PowerPoints and put effort into the assignments you will get an A.
Amazing Profesor! But the tests are hard, there are two parts one is the open book which is hard the other is not open book. Pay attention in class and work hard and you will get an A. I highly suggest you take him
I loved Prof. Armass class. He encourages group work, and is absolutely correct when he emphasizes how well students do when they work together. Everything on the tests and quizzes can be found in the textbook, which you should read the assigned chapters before lectures. He is very easy to talk to, and answers emails very fast.
Such a funny professor. Be prepared to take a quiz at the end of each chapter. BUY THE BOOK! You use it every day in class. If you get embarrassed easily by getting teased or called on randomly this Prof. isn't for you. Side note- He doesn't upload grades to blackboard so you don't know your grade until the end of each section. Would take him again
Really good professor. Im really not interested in psychology so his lectures could sometimes get boring but he was very funny and made things interesting. Quizzes weekly which are easy if you look at practice quiz. Tests are hard but the first half is take home which is nice
If you want to have an easy time with psych, take it with Mr. Armas. He is super funny and definitely takes time to explain things if you have questions. He structures the class for you to pass it. He is hilarious and definitely made 8 am lectures a lot easier.
Prof. Armas is a great teacher. He does have an accent, but he is understandable. He makes his class fun and engaging. Intellectual questions may be good for you to ask in class. Study the practice quizzes and pay attention to lectures and you will be fine.
Probably the best professor I'll ever have. He's hilarious which helps you stay focused and remember certain information. He is very clear on grading criteria and also puts practices quizzes online to help you study. I definitely recommend taking his class.
He is a super funny Professor, never had a boring class with him. His lectures are great and he sometimes would give away quiz/test answers or questions while teaching. He also posts practice quizzes online and they're super helpful. Highly recommend!!
Best professor Ive had so far! Attendance is important as he gives out answers for quizzes and exams and occasionally throws in extra points for participation. Do the practice quizzes and read the chapter and you should be fine. Lectures are funny and interesting.
He is a funny teacher and very nice. Although his teaching techniques are not the best. You really have to pay attention to lectures to catch what he puts on the quizzes.
Professor Armas was one of the best teachers I've had so far. He's extremely clear about his assignments and has all the information on a packet as a back up. There are 3 tests and one quiz for each chapter. He makes the class laugh, and he makes sure the class knows what is expected on the tests. Definitely would take him again!
Good professor and a great guy, made the class very enjoyable
Take him while you can! Best professor Ive had at cod! His lectures are amazing, he genuinely likes his job, and I would love to take his class again. Only thing is that he calls on you in class but I didnt mind. Also, you have quizzes and 3 long exams but you take half of the questions home and you can literally use any resources. Easy A for me.
One of the best teachers/professors that I've had in school period. He knows how to make the class and topics fun/funny, while still allowing you to learn the given material.
Prof Armas is a good professor. However, It was hard to catch up with him during lectures; lectures were always long and a bit off topic. If you want to pass you have to read the book and show up for quizzes - one for every chapter.
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
This was a pretty laid-back class. Honestly wasn't difficult at all. But towards the end of the year, it seemed as though he made the quizzes and exams much more difficult.
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.
Always joking with students but sticking to the lecture. Had take-home quizzes that followed the actual material. An absolute 10/10 and five big ol' stars.
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.
Great class! But watch out for the exams; he likes to assign material/chapters and then switch it up on the exams. I spent days learning the material given on the practice quizzes only to get to the final exam and be tested on material that was not covered.
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.
Wants you to have book but really it is not needed as all material is on blackboard. Quizzes will be in person starting spring 2023 as he knew we all used google lol. Very funny teacher with lectures that are actually fun and make you want to listen. Does not give EC but gives extra points on hw if done very well.
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.
I loved this class so much. The professor is very nice and he's funny so it is easy to pay attention during lectures. He also uses great examples in his lectures. He tells you what stuff is very important and that you will see on tests. He posts practice quizzes and they help a LOT with helping you do well on the actual quizzes. My favorite class.
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.
few assignments, quizzes for each chapter (very helpful as exam review). His lectures were great and he finds ways to better explain the material. He doesn't allow phones but honestly if you're on your phone during class you won't really learn anything. You'd need to really try to fail this class
Amazing teacher, truly my best experience fir my 1st semester at COD
Amazing professor! I've taken 2 of his classes and would take more in the future. Very knowlegable and a great person. He classes are not phones and you need to ask permission to use a laptop to avoid not paying attention. If you want to learn/ major in psychology I highly recommend taking one of his classes.
Professor Armas keeps the lectures engaging with his sense of humor. The workload is manageable - quizzes, assignments, and timed tests. Unstuckstudy AI was a lifesaver for test prep.
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 so funny and class was always entertaining. I learned so much from him and retained a good amount because he explains it simply. I would love to retake this class and highly recommend taking it!
Prof. Armas is one of the best teachers I've ever had! He makes psychology engaging with real-life examples (often funny ones) and gives helpful practice quizzes to prepare for exams. He's generous with extra points on homework—just don't use AI! If you're majoring in psychology, he's the perfect professor to start with. Highly recommended!
Professor Armas is one of the Best Professors at the COD. He is very kind and very funny. He always made class very fun for all of us. He truly cares about what he teaches his students. It was an honor having him.
He is amazing! He may seem a bit scary at first but his structure really helped me get through the class. He is super interactive and really gets the topic across to you!!
A great professor, easy class :)
Professor Armas is an incredible professor, he helped me greatly when I had troubles accessing the textbook and his online class format is easy to navigate. As long as you study the given material and read the textbook you will do great on quizzes/tests. I truly recommend him to anyone looking to take a psychology course.
He never fails to crack me up every class. don't sit in the front if you don't wanna be picked on or used as an example. lectures are very interesting and fun. He has strict rules on technology and hoodies, but he sticks to them and I would say they're for the better. The practice quiz questions make the weekly quizzes so easy, nearly identical.
He never fails to crack me up each class, lectures are very entertaining and fun. Don't sit in the front if you don't wanna be picked on or used as an example. The practice quiz questions he posts make the weekly quizzes very easy, almost identical. He has strict rules about tech and hoodies. but Its for the better.
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!
