Dr. Oesch was an awesome guy! I had him for both Human Sexuality and Intro to Psychology. You learn so much in his classes that you never even knew was possible. His tests are long but they are all take home and he usually gives you 1-2 weeks to finish them. He is a lot of fun and his classes are very interesting. I would recommend him.

I took his online class, and I felt like in the last weeks of the class there was an unfair amount of work. I hear in his regular sitdown classes it's great, but online it was just okay. There were no discussions and even though the quizzes were open-book they went by his opinion not the book. I still managed an A however.

I didn't have much interaction with Mr. Oesch because it was an online course, but I really liked this class. The topics are fascinating and something anyone in the world would benefit from knowing. These topics are relevant in everyday life. There's a lot of reading, but the course isn't particularly hard otherwise. Take it.

not much work. attendance is a grade the zooms are just boring has cool stories here and there. there's like 4 test their like 90 questions long, 1hr to complete but they're on quizlet/google. 1 term paper for 2000 words, or if you get 1500 words on the paper, you can do a couple of 200 word article summaries to get to 2000 words in total. Easy A.

He is very understanding. As long as you are there to learn and want to be there, then you will pass the class. If you don't pay attention or take notes you wont pass.

Skip class? You won't pass.

This professor was a very easy grader. The online psych course was very manageable as well. The whole course consists of 15 chapters, each requiring an easy quiz and a small (5-8 questions) writing assignment answering very simple questions. Every due date is also about every 3 weeks. Recommend this class for an easy A! Extra credit opportunities.

Man, I would not recommend it as a summer class. I mean, there is a block with eight hours of lectures. The revel textbook is mind-numbing but still workable. If I were to take again would defiantly take it in a 15-week block; just for ease but it's nice to have it done quickly with a B. Don't get me wrong there is good info but a lot of fluff.

He does do lots of lectures but they are good especially if you ask questions. He is very knowledgeable. He does two cool projects and they are very interesting having to do with crime scene investigation. He likes to have fun with things as long as you pay attention and respect each other.

Professor Oesch is a great person and a great teacher. He provides good feedback, tells funny jokes, and truly cares about the success of his students. Learning about psychology with him is great because he makes it so intriguing. The exams are easy as well as the essays. Just pay attention!

Honestly this was one of the sweetest professors. Class was just right as a starter course. Provided extra credit, also offered corrections to get a better grade. He definitely wants to see you succeed on your school and career choice. Wish every class could be with him. Even his lectures were informative and overall very easy to comprehend.

Very good lecturer, with a good mix of humor and knowledge. Quizzes and exams were open book and lectures were available online after class. Mentioned s3x a lot and seemed to be a big fan of Freud, which was sometimes uncomfortable. Overall, great experience and would take again.

Dr. Oesch is all you want for a professor. Honestly, one of the best I ever had before! He makes his own PowerPoints which are very useful, and provides great resources that help you learn the material. The assignments are very straightforward, and the tests mimic the material from his lecture ppts. Attendance is mandatory, but his class is fun!!!

Very good professor. Had a class on monday mornings when everyone was still tired from the weekend and he always came in excited and in a good mood. Attendance was for a grade. Anytime I needed help throughout the semester he always helped me out. Would definitely recommend.
