Great Teacher. Makes the class interesting, not just a straightfoward, tedious lecture from the book. Include class activites and videos (Dave Chappell!) that are not only interesting and fun, but educational. Very laid-back and a joker! I fully recommend this professor for psych 1A!

Dr. Ano is a great professor. Uses real world examples and entertanining video clips to demonstrate the material. This creates a much better functioning understanding of the material and makes the class fun and exciting. I learned a lot in this class.

I had a lot of fun in this class! It's not hard to get an A if you go to class, pay attention, and read the book. He jokes around a lot and keeps the class active. He even makes the test questions fun and relates everything to real life so it's a lot easier to find the right answer. I definitely recommend this professor!

Fairly good professor. Most of his assignment is easy and straight to the point, however you definitely need to study for his exam if you want a good grade. He always gives you study guide before test, and the test always follows the study guide. You will learn a lot of stuff in his class, but don't slack off or you will fail his class.

A pretty good professor but still has some work to do He was fun, but sometimes it felt like he was more interested in identifying with his students than teaching the lesson. His comments can sometimes be offensive, so you have to have a sense of humor to take him. If you want a fun teacher take him if you want to learn you might take someone else.

The man's assignments are inconvenient and he gives out life advice 24/7 and repetitive lectures on how we need to stop complaining about the rules. Highkey wastes class time and makes sure you know he thinks he's the best teacher alive. Overall though his class is a joke its so easy, just do the work and the study guide and you'll get an A.

Listen, there's not many classes where you get to watch stand up comedy skits at part of your lecture, so this was a good class.
