Really good prof, especially compared to other instructors I've heard about who teach this course. Tells really good stories to illustrate points. Can be a little bit arrogant at times, but he's fair to students and his tests reflect the notes.

I think he's funny. 202 is pretty easy with him if you even somewhat pay attention. And i only heard him mention harvard like once or twice and i went to every class.

Very good professor. One of the best that I ever had.

I loved this class! This was the one lecture that I really looked forward to and tried to never miss. His charisma and love of psychology comes through and make class fun and interesting. I would take any class he teaches!

He was one of the radest professors I've had. Gave us many opportunities to get a good grade in his class and his lectures we're hilarious. I would take any other classes from him for sure.

A GREAT teacher. Took 201 with Skaggs and that was the most boring class I've ever been in. Bernieri makes class very entertaining and doesn't spoonfeed the material but still gets his point across. Is not egotistical like some say, but read the book.

One of the most entertaining and informative professors I've had. I highly recommend this class.

Love the class! He's very entertaining and passionate about psychology. I always look forward to his lectures. He always has interesting examples to get his point across.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Great sense of humor, fair, and (most importantly) knows his subject very well. I truly enjoyed attending lecture. His tests do a good job of testing your true understanding and are not tricky at all.

This class was very interesting, not to mention also entertaining and fun...it makes the subject even more enjoyable when the professor understands the subject well and makes it easy to relate to and understand! If you read the chapters, the tests are easy; remember to read section in the back too!

Very good professor, made me want to go into psychology further. Easy to listen to and has a good sense of humor. If you are going to take a psych class I would recommend trying to get into one of his courses. I'm in another psych class with Hughley and it is a boring 1h20m every time.

Bitter, pompous, and sarcastic...which is awesome. Probably THE smartest psych professor on campus...but he'll let you know it, ad nauseum. If you can get past that, you'll love him. Tests aren't too difficult if you pay attention in lecture. Overall, good guy.

Dr. Bernieri is an expert in his field and it really shows in his lectures. They are entertaining and full of information if you listen. Most importantly, he can answer any question you throw at him.

He's really interesting. He makes you want to go to class

He is a lot of fun to listen to. His lectures are hard to take notes from, but it is still fun. Just read, and you wont have a problem

Absolutely wonderful class!!

He's super hard, but an amazing professor

The lectures are always entertaining and you never know what he is going to do next. His material changes from term to term so it keeps it exciting. He uses a variety of teaching techniques to get the material across. My best advice for the class...do the reading, thats what he tests on.

Entertaining lecture. Tests are basically out of the book though.

best psych teacher ever. loved all the stories about the ex-wife in new york.

Even though he can be a jerk sometimes, he knows his stuff. I'm a psych major, and he's not ruined it for me, which is what some people have said.

Hes Awesome

Totally interesting, such as the day he shattered a clipboard in the middle of class to demonstrate his point about fear.

He can get annoying/cocky at times, but his lecutures are interesting and full of surprises. His tests were kinda hard though and most things came from the book, not notes. I highly recommend getting the study guide for the book. He took a lot of quiz ques

No Comments

So glad to be taking his class for a research project, but I've got nothing but good things to say about him. He does know his stuff, and if you're upset that psychology isn't an exact science, you probably shouldn't study it.

Very interesting class. He can be a little arrogant, but definitely enjoys what he is teaching.

Great teacher -- lecture was very informative and not boring. I suggest this professor... he actually knows what he is talking about.

This was a fun class because we watched experiments and we were the researchers. I like him a lot...he is really smart and funny. I think he motivates people to think in ways they normally wouldn't

Fab. Ultra-fab. Teaches well, speaks like a real person (when you talk to him one-on-one especially), and really knows his stuff. Very understanding. Tests are average, so just study. I had a great time!

Very entertaining teacher, keeps lecture interesting. Weekly quizzes were hard, so make sure you do the reading. The first test is only worth 10% of your grade, so don't worry if you fail it. Tests were average, if you study, you'll be fine. Recommend this teacher, he knows a lot!

Hes very interested in what he teaches and in talking to you after class. He'll spark your interest with psychology definetly! I changed my major after his class!

Great teacher, he knows a lot and makes class interesting. He is bold in a lot of things he says, but that makes class fun. I changed my major to Psychology after I took his 202 class frosh year when I was undecided. :)

His lectures are very interesting

Great class!!! One of my top 5 favs!! He is a great teacher...he is funny and interesting!! If you pay attention and go to class he will teach you how to rule the world through psychology!! it is awsome!!! Im seriously considering changing my major to PSY just because of how interesting he made it!!

Probably the best professor I have ever had. Dr. Bernieri absolutely knows his stuff and is very enthusiastic in teaching it. He makes jokes regularly and will embarass himself for the students to get a laugh. It keeps the class interested and made me want to learn more on what he was talking about.

If you are NOT an academic wimp who is here for a token degree, you will get far more than your money's worth from him. An exceptional professor. Will challenge you and give you insight. OSU is extremely lucky to have someone of his caliber and extensive contribution to the field. Arrogant only towards people who don't/won't do the work.

The best professor I've ever known.

I am graduating this year and have still not had a class as great as 202.He was great in 360 too.His teaching skills are amazing and you too get caught up in his love of the subject and his yearning for you to learn and understand psychology. He is the kind of professor I expected to see in a college level course.If only they were all this good.

great guy who truly loves what he teaches which really helps you understand and enjoy a topic. I would also recommend him for PSY 360. Must read and study for his class, but it is worth it and he respects students who work hard and take the time to know what they are talking about. You can have some very good conversations with him on psychology.

Great teacher for upper division psych classes. He is really excited about the material, which makes the classes more enjoyable. If you keep up with the reading, and go over the key points, you'll do well. Quizzes most Wednesdays, only 10 questions, and not difficult. It's a really interesting course.

Great professor! He made me fall in love with psych, now I'm majoring in it. The class is not a breeze, but this is college folks. You must read the book (about a chapter a week--completely manageable) His lectures are awesome, and well worth coming to, but it's not the end of the world if you get sick and miss a day or two.

He is amazing! Energetic and very good with explanations.

He was awesome!

Absolutely fabulous. I was really put off with his arrogant behavior at first, but by the end of the term I thought he was great. I didn't read much of the book, just listened in lectures and I got a A.

The class is 100% graded off the book. There are quizzes every Fri and 4 exams, the final being 40% of your grade. Quizzes and exams are NOT easy. He knows what he's talking about, but lectures about 2 things in the book. Any extra credit only goes towards quiz percentage of your grade.If your not an exam taker, don't take this course from him.

Very entertaining and obviously knows his stuff.

Dr. Bernieri was amazing! I have never had a professor in which I looked forward to go to class. He had very interesting lectures and the tests were questions that were straight from the book. I would definitely recommend him!

Pretty entertaining, but easy to zone out. Most material from lecture is not on the test, mostly from reading the text book.

Dr. Berneri is great. He is a wealth of knowledge and truly enjoys teaching intro psych. You must read the book, study, and actually put in some work. Don't expect a free grade, but if you put in the effort you will get the grade you deserve.

This class was overall a good experience. It isn't important to attend class, but reading the textbook is crucial to pass the weekly quizzes. Bernieri is very confident and often berates other opinions and fields of study in favor of his own. That aside, his lectures are informative and entertaining. Study hard and this class will be a breeze!

Excellent, engaging professor. He really knows what's up - knows about psychology, knows how to teach it. Go to his class, you'll learn something in spite of yourself.

He was one of the most interesting professors i have had. He taught stuff outside of the book and when questions came up on the test his examples came to mind. His way of explaining psychology was brilliant, if you can get this teacher you should try!

He was one of my favorite psychology professors I have ever had. He's passionate about social psychology and it really interesting to listen to. He's hilarious too! I was never bored in his class. He has quizzes every class, but as long as you read the book, you'll do fine. Buying the book is necessary if you want a good grade in this class.

My favorite Psychology professor! The course wasn't easy, but it wasn't unnecessarily difficult. He really cares about his students and is great at explaining concepts in creative ways. If you want to learn a lot and be entertained at the same time, and are willing to put in a little work, this is the course for you.

I took this professor for Psy 202 and I absolutely loved this class!!! He is hysterical and makes the lectures interesting. People say the class is hard, but all you have to do is read the book and you'll get an A in this class. This was the one class I actually enjoyed going to

Looking for an easy class? Move on. Looking to be inspired? Take PSY 360 with Dr. Bernieri. Dr. Bernieri is very clear: if you do not read the textbook CAREFULLY you will not pass. Approach him with an open mind: he might seem arrogant, but there is a method to his madness and everything he does in this class has a reason. Oh and he's funny.

His lectures are not mandatory , however, every Friday for the first ten minutes of class he gives a quiz on that weeks chapter. Sometimes the quizzes are easy and other times they super detail oriented. Which is why reading the text book and reviewing it will really boost your grades on the quizzes. Be prepared to study alot for the mid term

Dr. B's a hard professor. Don't go in expecting an A. Makes you read the textbook. Assigns hours of homework weekly. Grades extremely harshly but curves generously; his tests are soul crushing. Moderately funny, always willing to help if you ask. Very intelligent. You will learn more in his class than with any other professor. Guaranteed.

If there's one thing you do in this class, make sure you read the textbook. Lectures and notes don't matter. Read the textbook, thats what 99% of test material is on. He makes it clear that he wants students to read the textbook.

Really interesting class. Professor is very blunt but in a good way. You can skip all the class you want and still get an A; tests are entirely based on the textbook readings. He gave us a lot of opportunities for extra credit (but many of them were during lectures) and there were no homework assignments. Great class overall.

He's a really great professor that makes you think and actively engage. Additionally he's funny and shares interesting stories and facts too. The class was most discussion base with him facilitating the direction of the topic. Learned a lot from the psychology articles and actually learned to understand them through the discussion.

Dr. Bernieri is a wonderful lecturer but it is fairly advanced lecture material. I found it difficult because there are only a few assignments that you get graded on and if you miss out on just one point your graded drops. I would only recommend to students that are highly motivated and are already well versed in psychology.

He's the best. He encourages learning instead of testing you on trivial things, he makes sure you're using the course practically. He doesn't require much work, basically, just wants you to be interested in learning
