What Students Say

He does 3 take home tests which weren't terrible

PSY213 - 1.0 rating

Okay he's REALLY really funny, and he worked in law enforcement(my anticipated line of work) so he had some great stories, but literally 0% of what he talked about in class (what he ad us take notes on) had ANYTHING to do with the tests or the final (which was impossible btw) be prepared for confusion and failure

Professor Wynn is the worst teacher to have. No matter how many times i studied for his test, still failed them. Went for help 2 times and he never made the class easier. Does not help at all and he does no know anyones names. He just does not care to know anyone personally. i had to drop the class for my GPA. If not good test taker, dont take clas

I took Prof Wynn for Self-defense and even though I hear he is a tough psych teacher he is VERY wise. He taught me life-lessons and during a tough time in my life his words of wisdom kept me going. He told bad-ass stories and you can tell he's worked hard and been through a lot in life. He's a very wise man. Talk to him personally trust me.

He is my favorite teacher by far! You must read the textbook and show up for classes, and you learn ALOT about the material and how it relates to your life. Four tests and extra credit quizzes; follow his studying suggestions and you'll do fine. He is raw and real and alot of people don't like him but they're the ones who don't try. Def take him :)

I got a 3.8 GPA in HS. I took AP classes. This class is SO MUCH harder. I pay attn in class, I do the readings, and it just doesn't seem to pay off. I currently have a C in the class while my other 4 classes I have A's. The final for this class counts as 50%...seriously? I'm a respectful student but this was just too much work. He's nice but avoid!

Many students don't like him because they are lazy, don't pay attention, & don't participate in class. He uses real life examples to teach the material. You can come into class 50 min late and he won't care. But do try to get to class early, sit in the front, & participate! Although his tests are difficult, I know he takes that stuff into account!

LOVED the class & discussions. Tests, however, were not related to class topics. Most reading was from textbook, so MAKE SURE you have the correct one (don't get the kindle edition, the contents are different). Requires a 12[-page research paper, but it isn't bad if you take interest in your topic. Had the wrong book & failed the midterm.

Wynn taught absolutely nothing. He said read the book and ask him questions. There was no lecture ever, he thought class time was to strictly ask him questions. Asking personal questions is office hours, not class. I failed this class due to lack of any lecture as well as 3 friends of mine. I am now at an ivy league college and learn more there

Prof.Wynn was not meant to teach anyone. He said and I quote "I am not a teacher I am a Professor so the material is up to you". I pretty much taught myself psychology this semester. I thought psych was going to be a really interesting class but it turned out to be more of a headache. I suggest taking another professor for this class!

I took Prof Wynn for Gen Psych and I'd take him again! He's interesting & laid-back, but you NEED to keep up with reading to understand his lectures. Three take-home tests & two in-class quizzes. You'll need to read and study hard for the final (not cumulative). Relates psych to current events which makes the material more interesting.

Most favorite prof! Interesting, funny, personable but still very professional and respectable. Teaches using stories from his own life, which is colorful and fascinating, makes the class highly compelling. Willing to explain things every which way until you understand it, even draws pictures to help. I wish everyone could take a class with him.

Professor Wynn is a cool guy. He mainly tells funny stories of his days as a drug cop. Most of the reading is own your own. Not much is talked about in class. Final is 50% of your grade. 2 other tests, take homes, answers are online. He's a really cool guy, but if you're looking to learn in depth, he's probably not for you.

I enjoyed coming to his class and listening to his lectures. He relates the lectures to current events and stories that make it helpful to understand. He gives two tests and the answers are all online. The only issue I had is that he doesn't go over the criteria that much and you basically have to teach yourself the material.

Wynn's lectures had absolutely nothing to do with the class. We just talked about current events during every class. All the tests are take home and the questions are from quizzlet.

Took two courses with Prof Wynn. Definitely a cool guy and enjoyed his courses, but not the greatest professor. His stories are great and he helps you think outside the box, but you're kind of on your own in regards to teaching the details. Meeting him for help outside of class wasn't particularly helpful, either. Great guy, decent courses.

Wynns view on life is outdated. This year is election year and he has taken multiple classes to push his political views on us; for example, how abortion should be illegal. The majority of the class is spent discussing unrelated subjects. 15 minutes is left for coursework. He said everyone gets an average C when taking him. Not a good prof

Engaging and knowledgeable professor. Chose an excellent textbook with current research citations. This is how I remember college courses: read the text book, learn the material and then come to class to ask questions. Not being spoon-fed was very refreshing and I recommend the course. It was an excellent overview of the lifespan development.

More interested in pontificating than teaching.
