The guy is a good teacher and will help out anyway he can.
Oesch is a great teacher. I had him for abnormal, intro, consumer, and abnormal psychology and came out with A's in all them. The classes are interesting and he's a very open-minded guy. The test are long 100 question test, but the answers are all in the books.
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.
Fairly easy teacher. Makes class interesting and is very helpful when asked questions
He's a book! Great teacher!
Great Teacher! Just amazing.
This was my 1se internet class and I was nervous. But Dr. Oesch is great. I HIGHLY recomend that u stay on track with the recomended shedual,falling behind can make it hard and u wont do well on test. Also work on your test well ahead if u wait till the last day u will fail. A is possible U really need 2 be responsible.I would reccomend this class!
Attendence is mandatory!! Make alot of friends on the first day, then split up the take home tests between yourselves=] Oh & don't put your semester work off till the last day! Work on it at the BEGINNING of the semester. Ya, he talks for 1hr & 15m straight, but he's very interesting and funny. I recommend his class=]
I highly recommend him. Very easy and lots of fun. Take home tests that he gives you 2 weeks to work on. You can use groups, the book, internet etc. He actually makes class interesting :)
This was my first internet class and I feel like I made a good choice! He give long tests but you have 1-2 weeks to do them and you get 2 chances to do his quizzes. He offers extra credit which I did but didn't even need it for the A! I recommend him!
Dr. Oesch is a very good teacher and makes you want to learn more about the subject that he is teaching. He lets you work on test together...which is AWESOME!!!
I really like this class.. I don't really like the subject of psychology but her kept it pretty interesting. Tests are long but you can take them home.
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.
This guy is the best I mean the best at this field, You will love his teaching style he is just AWESOME.
this class was awesome! very easy going and helpful. there's no way you can't make an A in his class lol
He's a very good professor, knows his stuff & keeps things interesting. Tests are take home but be prepared to work, his questions can not always be looked up - he requires you to think. He tries not to go overboard on the lecturing which is great although he will definitely keep your interest. Felt we watched one too many child births, though...
Good teacher quirky guy (in a good way) that knows a little about everything. Tests require application and not only memoriaztion. But they are done at home and he will help if u request. Extra credit also offered
Loved him. He made he class fun!
Great Instructor! Took the internet class and would definitely recommend Prof. Oesch. If you do the work that is expected and participate, you should do well. He does give extra credit also. Very prompt to respond to questions and also to grade assignments.
The best teacher ever!!! So cool and quirky! Cant wait to take his Human Sexuality class. Easy A if you work hard and do not procrastinate.
Good professor & knows his stuff. He will keep you interested. He does require you to think so for some people his tests may require more work. Second class with him - much easier knowing how he wants you to think once you get to know him better.
I took this class online and as long as you read the material and look at the powerpoints that he makes you will get a good grade. The test questions came directly from the material and the powerpoints. There is opportunity for extra credit if needed, but if you do the aboe this will not be needed.
Awesome Professor! Easy to understand, very helpful and knowledgable. Fun class.
If you need a psy class take this professer, his class are actaully entertaining, he makes lame jokes sometimes but they can be funny, hes not a normal teacher and will actaully teach you thinks you'll need. All test are take home. Do the tests and show up and you'll get an A
Took his class online. Very helpful and always answered my questions quickly. He also has video posts, it's nice to see your teachers face. Pretty easy class. Would take him as a teacher again if psych was my major.
Awesome Class! Dr. Oesch is very helpful and gives a good amount of extra credit (if you need it). I would definately take him again!!
Took his class online, power points were very informative, quizes were not timed, quizes were available twice. Questions were clear and came directly from the book or power point. I felt the course and professor were very straight forward and clear. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and the knowledge gained. I'd love to take more of his classes.
Awesome teacher, take as many classes with him as you can. Very knowledgeable and keeps class interesting! No busy work, just Gordon rule paper and a few tests
This class is an easy A if you put some type of effort into it! Aside from a gordon rule paper, your grade is based on a few tests that you take at home online.Super easy and pretty interesting.
Awesome Professor! I Took this class online, if you have any questions just email and he gets right back to you. Great class you will learn alot and if you do the work you'll get an A
I took this class online. I loved and learned a lot from it. It's an easy A if you read the book and watch all of the videos. If you don't get an A it's because you weren't trying.
Take home test's, usually four. Gives students two weeks to complete. The test can be challenging, but you do have two weeks. If taking abnormal psych, get the DSMV.Attnedance not mandatory but you get 5 points every class for attendance.
I love Oesch, he makes me want to major in Psychology.
I love this professor!! Keeps your attention, but be prepared to watch a video every class. I had him for Human Sexuality and Exams are take home :)
Awesome Teacher, answers question, takes the time with students if needed.. Truly a great teacher!! I can't wait for my next class with him
Awesome teacher! Is extrememly clear in what he is asking from his students. I just finished online psychology and was very impressed by how organized Dr. Oesch is and how quickly he responds to emails. The class was interesting, the reading and course work is a must to help with the exams. Overall great class!
I took his class online, super easy, and you could sit down and get it all down if you want! just one paper due any topic you want. and he gives you extra credit! quiz answers were in the notes. i didnt even buy a book, i just used the notes!
Best Teacher Ever!! Open book/take home tests. Easy writing assignments and interesting classes!!!
Intro to Psych, Human Sexuality, Consumer, Abnormal, Adolescent Psych, Personality, yes I'm a Prof Oesch fan!
Dr. Oesch is super, super helpful and friendly--he responds promptly to questions, offers EC assignments, and is always happy to help you out. The only less than favorable aspect about Intro to Psych (online) was that the tests were inconsistent--some 100% from notes, some book material we hadn't yet covered. Overall, love him as a prof. though!
by far probably the most inconsistent online class I have ever taken. his tests and quizzes have trick questions, the guys questions always have typos and some are very tough to decipher and he uses 100 page powerpoints for each lesson. sent him a message telling him his class was bad and h said oline classes aren't for me when I have straight A's
Awesome teacher!!!
Very good teacher. Class was laid out very well. Tests are all online and can be worked on. Almost all answers are in power points he provides.
Well organized class. A total of 15 lessons that go along with the text. Each lesson has a powerpoint and videos. There's a Quiz for each lesson that can be taken twice and three multiple choice exams. Also, one 2000 word research paper on a topic of your choice. Turnitin used for submitting paper. Overall, great class and great professor! :)
Dr. Oesch is an awesome professor! He knows his stuff and is VERY experienced in his field. I took him for Intro, Child Psych, and Human Sexuality because he is THAT good of a professor. One of PHSC's FINEST instructors BY FAR. Tests aren't hard but skimming the chapters and coming to class will ensure an A+.
Dr. Oesch has been my favorite professor at PHSC. He is very knowledgeable and gets your interest peaked. Love him!
Dr. Oesch is the best teacher by far I have had at PHSC. I looked forward to going to class. He keeps your interest and knows his stuff. You always feel really at ease in his class.
Great instructor. He responds to emails quickly and takes the time to explain things when needed. His lessons were thorough and sufficient. He also gives extra credit. I took him online and I would take him again.
Reads from a powerpoint the majority of class, they're online. You are graded on attendance, but I missed a few classes and it wasn't detrimental. He's funny. 4 take home tests, 100 questions, they're tough but he gives you at least a week. We watched a lot of videos . Overall he's a great prof! Taking him again next semester.
The class wasn't THAT bad. It could have been worse. But if I were to go back, I would have chosen a different teacher and possibly one not online. If you can, take it at the college. If not, be ready to work your butt off 3-5 days a week. Sometimes the quizzes did not match the textbook or powerpoints.
TESTS ARE TOUGH
I had him for Intro to Psychology ended up enjoying him so much I took his Abnormal and Forensic Psychology as well as his Human Sexuality class. He gives great lectures but the tests are very difficult (even though they are take home). He is very funny, if you have the chance to take any of his classes don't pass it up.
VERY interesting lectures and hes a nice guy. 3 tests online, two weeks to do them. Offers extra credit. 1,500 word writing requirement, but he has options. Attendance is graded, but its a very small grade. Would take again for sure.
Dr. Oesch is an awesome teacher! He gives extra credit, and is always willing to help you with questions in the class. If he wants more information on a hw ? he will let you correct it and resubmit. No teacher does that! Also he lets you take quizzes twice if you want to try for a better grade, again no teacher does that! Take him. It is an Easy A!
He is very clear and super nice. Makes sure you understand everything before moving on. If you have questions but don't want to ask in front of the class he is okay with that.
He will not let you resubmit work or take the test more than once, if you don't do an assignment, you're out of luck.
Best Professor I have had. Always very encouraging and gets back to you right away with any question you have. I really enjoyed his class.
Great introductory psychology class. I took the online version. There is a lot of reading. Informative power points. Pertinent videos. Clear syllabus, due dates, and grading criteria. Offers extra credit, too. Would definitely register for any of his classes again.
There's a lot of reading, lecturing, and powerpoints though in his Intro class, but overall I enjoyed it! He's a very kind person, and is willing to help if you need it. He also gives extra credit. He also allows open book and notes for for his tests.
All around good teacher!
Great teacher
Was very hard to get a hold of him, hardly answered his emails and when he did it was not quick.
Teacher offered plenty of chances to make the grade, second chance to retake quiz, extra credit assignments, and gives you as much time as you need on assignments. DOES NOT except late work, but gives weeks to do it. sends reminders to students weekly on what is due. GREAT TEACHER.
Professor Oesch is very fair. His workload is average and not difficult at all if you read the chapters.
Dr. Oesch is phenomenal! I've taken all of my psychology courses with him and plan to take more! He is passionate about psychology and gives take-home tests! Great dude all around.
Took him originally as a mandatory class, then also took adolescent psychology with him. I genuinely learned a lot in this class and enjoyed the lectures. The work is very minimum and easy for the most part.
Great teacher !
I have taken Mr. O for two psychology classes and I love having him as a professor. His lectures are interesting and the videos he shows in class are very entertaining and informative and interesting. Gives take home tests and gives you easy journals to write. You can't fail his class unless you really don't do anything.
I recommend this instructor to everyone I know who is available to attend the East Campus. He replies to emails extremely quickly, will give you guidance on your essays, and his lectures + videos are very interesting. He is not a hard grader and offers many chances for extra credit. The textbook was also not needed which is a plus.
Awesome teacher! Assignments and tests actually matched what was learned in class. USE YOUR TEXTBOOK since those questions are on the tests. Pretty simple grader - he doesn't have any weird loopholes and actually gives good feedback.
2nd class of his I've taken. I have never had a more encouraging professor than him. Classes dont get easier than his. He is always available with any question you have and will help you with anything. He will always be my favorite professor. Thank you Dr. Oesch for everything!
The best psychology teacher around!
Love Dr. Oesch! Such a great man and has a love for his field. Hes understanding and extremely kind.
Dr. Oesch is great. He is lecture heavy, though his lectures are good and informative. His tests are online, USE THE POWERPOINTS he puts on canvas. Class discussions are good. Overall, his class holds a lot of information, but if you come and use the powerpoints, you'll do good. Great professor! Gives good feedback & is accessible outside of class
He is an amazing professor. He gives you two weeks to do the tests online and he gives you you're essay information at the beginning of the semester and you have almost four months to do it. He grades you on if you show up for class. He explains things really clearly and helps you whenever you need help. He responds to your questions quickly.
Best professor I've had. Easy and interesting class. Makes you feel very at ease. I wish I could have him for every class.
Dr. Oesch is always there for you when needed. He takes his time to explain everything thoroughly and backs it up with great examples from his own life and experiences, making it more interesting to learn. Make sure to do all of his work and you will pass! The extra credit is great too
Cool professor. Makes class fun. Pretty much guaranteed A.
If you want to work in mental health you HAVE to take Oesch. He is one of my favorite teachers. He does not make his classes very hard so there is no way to not pass. He is extremely fair. He actually taught me a lot of things and he is the best psychology teacher that PHSC has hands down.
Prof Oesch is one of the best teachers I have had. He is a rare gem you will find in teaching. He wants and helps his students succeed. The work was manageable and he gives you 2tries on the quizzes. Exams are 95-100 questions, but he allows you to print them and work on them over a 2week period. Extra credit is available. He is a must have teacher
Dr. Oesch is an amazing instructor. His lectures are a little long, but he gives tells you what will be on the exams. His extra credit is easy to do. He gives you an option on doing a term paper or article summaries. He is one of the best overall instructors I have taken, and I have already signed up for more of his courses.
I took this class online and I wished I wouldve taken it at campus. 15 lessons (about 40 pages long), 15 Quizzes, 5-8 questions per lesson you must write an answer to And 3 exams based on the lessons all in a span of six weeks. There is extra credit. If you plan on taking this class make sure you have all the time you need.
Professor Oesch is great! He really gives all the materials necessary to pass the class. There is a quiz and instructor questions for each chapter and then tests for every few sections, but they are not hard with the materials present.
Professor Oesch was amazing. I was afraid to take his class because of the negative reviews. He isn't a bubbly fun professor, BUT he grades work almost instantly and he give lectures about the work to help you understand. He provides feedback and ensures you understand the work. His test and exams are easy and even with little effort you can pass!
Dr. Oesch was an amazing professor. The class wasn't super hard, but it did take a lot of time because there was a ton of reading and I took it in six weeks. Dr. Oesch was super helpful and answered emails and graded assignments almost always in the same day. He definitely has a passion for psychology and it shows through his teaching.
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.
Nice guy
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.
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.
Profesor Oesch is an amazing teacher, you can easily get an A in his class the doesnt give a lot of assignments and the ones that you have to do are open for months for you to work on. Overall amazing teacher 100% recommend
ONLINE- opens up everything from beginning to work ahead. 3 exams ( 90-100 questions each). 15 chapters! - quiz for each chapter and 6 instructor questions for each chapter. 5 extra credit opportunities. 1 essay assignment through SLO(pearson) .Everything can be found online (google,chegg,quizlet). He is so nice !
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!
Awesome teacher, very passionate. This is a very stress-free class and you learn a lot. He is very flexible and has the course set up amazingly through lectures and easy-to-read PowerPoint, definitely recommend this professor!
Great professor when supplying us with the material but long lectures that turned into nap time most often
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.
As long as you show up and participate, tests are not difficult and have retakes so you should be set. Loved hearing about his previous work experience that applied to the class!
Second class of his I took, really enjoyed how in depth he went despite the small class size.
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.
Knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. Very approachable and funny. Attendance isn't obligated, but if you miss more than two classes, you'll feel left behind.
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.
