Fred is great , honestly I was trash at math for all of high school and college, but this guy made it so easy understand every concept. The homework is easy, and its online, and you get do it as much as you want until you get it right. The only drawback to him is that sometimes his lectures are kind of boring, but still he is so helpful and funny

I enjoyed Psych 100 with Dr. Rose. There was never a question of what was due or when; he is clear on expectations. As long as you do the reading and fully participate you'll earn a good grade. I love his humorhe made this course super fun and interesting.

The worst class experience I've had so far. Exams are long and difficult compared to classwork, not to mention 80% of your grade. There is a lot of reading to do. He is unclear and I was confused the entire time. He assigns so much homework but its only worth 5 points. He is a strict grader. Would not recommend.

Dr. Rose is an amazing teacher! He will answer all your questions and help you through the problems. Makes sure you do the assignments, it's and easy and helps you understand the material a lot better. Attendance does matter (personally), you will fall behind since the class moves pretty fast, especially if you don't read the book.

Hes a good Professor but you have to come to class everyday because this material is not easy. You could easily fall behind. You do your homework in class and if you have any questions hell answer them. He teaches by PowerPoints. I recommend you to read the textbook for you to understand it more. Study for exams too.

Wish I would've read the comments for his psyc205 classes! He makes the class unnecessarily difficult. You do an assignment of about 100 problems just for 5 points. What he teaches is not really what's on the test. The test and homework are NOT alike whatsoever. I feel like he's done what he can to make his life easy but not the students.

As long as you study thoroughly you have a very high chance of succeeding in the class. Pay attention during lectures (sometimes they're boring) and ask questions (I felt very safe asking questions)! Don't go through the motions doing homework - really engage with the material and you'll learn a lot. Exams are straightforward and easy if you study!

With his grading system I didnt know this for the whole semester and continued the 50+ pages of turn-in hw a week. Waste of my time. Just got an A over summer.

This class material was intriguing and fun to learn. I took the 4 week class. It moved quickly, but was doable if you manage your time well. I would recommend doing the work as soon as he opens the course folder and work on the assignments over the weekend to space the material out better. READ THE TEXTBOOK. Readings prepare you for the exams.

Absolute goat. I had him Mondays and Wednesdays. Mondays were clear, structured lectures on the chapter we had to read beforehand. Most Wednesdays were homework days. Workload was reasonable (~2–3hrs a week). Clear expectations and super helpful if you ask questions. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you kinda need to go to understand everything.
