Really smart man, explains the concepts very well and makes the subject matter interesting.

I had this professor for Learning and Memory. He does explain things pretty well but usually in a boring delivery. Don't care for "Make your own textbook"--more trouble than it's worth.

Extremely knowledgable about learning theory. Is able to explain difficult concepts. Loved the 'create your own textbook'.

Extremely knowledgeable and explains difficult concepts very well. Makes the subject interesting but its a challenging course.

Very intelligent & kind man- but an extremely difficult professor. He assumes students have a prior knowledge of the subject- which many of us did not. Exams are so, so difficult- even when some questions are given before the exam! Nice not having to buy a textbook.

initially he's a big shock because he seems to have a built in thesaurus to make things sound more complicated than they are. but he's SOOO smart. you can tell. his exams are hard, but if you study u do fine. the first exam is extremely easy. he gives you all the 'matching' questions and two of the essay questoins out of three b4 the exam.

A lot of "brain" and little "behavior," but at the end of the day, if you are majoring in Psych, you ought to know this stuff too. He offers extra credit, which got more than one person their "A," so definately do the EC! He's really a brilliant man. If you actually want to learn this Neuropsych, he's the guy to take.

No book- he has his own on blackboard. Lectures can be boring, but after I got used to his style I thought the material was interesting. Always about 20 minutes late...gives out some test questions for incentive to show up. 3 tests, he weighted our top 2 at 40% and the lowest 20%, can earn 3pts EC and 5pts per test for completing study guide...

I took him last year, but after reading this, I had to comment. He isn't teaching a Mickey Mouse class, so don't expect to get through it without studying and showing up to class. Still I have never learned more from another teacher. He knows the material, and you will to if you try. Great teacher.

He is a very nice guy and the class is not that bad. He made his own textbook which is pretty easy to follow. If you are willing to put in the work to study and attend class then you should not have a problem. Just keep in mind it is not a kiddie class, you have to put in a lot of effort.

I am a physiology freak so I loved this class. He is very easy to mistake as mean but I wouldn't take it to heart. I enjoyed the straight forwardness and learned a load of things. Highly recommended!

The class was difficult, but it was not impossible to get an A. He gives out test questions randomly during the semester, so going to class is definitely helpful. He explains everything very thoroughly that it borders on boring, but he really does want you to understand the material, and if you go to class, you will.

This is the best professor i have had all my college life!!! he is very clear and very smart. there is dum about his classes, i had him for brain n behaviour as well as learning n memory. his classes are truly college level. if ure lazy or jus hate learning then u may have problems

He is an asset to WSU. He is very smart and takes the time to make sure students understand. PLEASE do not take him if you want an easy A, take him in you want an intelligent teacher who challenges you.

This class wasn't a breeze, but as long as you pay attention in lecture and review your notes, an A is definately attainable. The material is very interesting and I looked forward to coming to class. He is one of my favorite professors at Wayne. I highly suggest taking him. :)

Did not keep track of attendance, but considering there isn't an actual textbook for the course, it is to your benefit to attend class- He gives clear and in depth presentations, tests are hard but if you complete the study guide you'll be fine.

He's a good teacher the class is easy just do the study guide and he goes right of that on the exam. There is no text book for this class which makes it important to go to class. He's a quiet speaker but knows what hes talking about and follows his notes to the T. i recommend this class and this teacher

Not an easy class but an A is possible as long as you are willing to put in the work. basically memorize the lecture notes and the exams will be a breeze. but you must be willing to work fo ryou grade. After teh second exam i think only like 13 people were passing. All in all good guy, smart and kinda funny.

This class is challenging. However, I find him extremely brilliant. He really knows a lot about the stuff he is teaching. However, if you don't attend class, you won't pass, plain and simple. He also gives study guides for each test that give you a bonus 5% on each exam. Furthermore, if you do the study guides well, it gives all info.

This professor is extremely smart. His classes consist of straight lecturing, and if you're not interested in the subject, you will hate it. I respect him a lot and look forward to going to class. Even if you don't go to class, though, it's easy to pass his class. He essentially posts all of his lecture notes along with the powerpoint on blackboard

This is an extremely hard class. He is the BEST teacher for it. 3 tests make up your grade, but he gives 5% credit on them if you do the study guide. He gives 3 point extra credit on your final grade. Attendance is a must although not mandatory. An A is very possible if you go to class and enjoy learning about neuroscience.

Great professor, better man. I learned so much from him. Not easy class, but if you put the work in, an A is very easily attained. I will never forget this class and the material; was so interesting. This is the class you will be referencing for the rest of your life. Best psychology class I have taken on my way to a degree.

love dr.Borszcz.. some people may have problems, but you have to love psychology and be committed to it to excel in his classes. If you like it, you will learn it and be fine. he is amazing and super intelligent, you will learn amazing things and he is interesting

Amazing professor ever. Love Dr. borszcz. 3 exams and not book. Never missed a lecture. Took good notes during class, reviewed his notes and exams were easy. He's not tricky at all. Lectures are so interesting. He's willing to help anyone who needs it.

This was a great class! He is super smart and super nice.

Take his class if you are interested in the material, if not, his monotone voice will lull you to sleep. Don't let that happen, take notes on everything he says everyday. His tests will punch you in the kidneys while putting you in a headlock. Do parts of the study guide every week, it is extra credit, no excuses, go hard in the paint!

This teacher is amazing!!!! He is so passionate about what he teaches. He speaks softly so sit in the front. But his passion makes you love it too! He gives you so much info for the test, its hard not to fail.

Prof. Borszcz is incredible. He's so knowledgeable about neuroscience, and gives life advice that is priceless- so much respect for him as a person. He shows some test questions in advance in class, offers extra credit & you only need 90% for an A. Such an interesting class. To people saying he is late: he is in a wheelchair, give him a break!

He is a great teacher. He will most likely show up late for class, but the wait is worth it because his lectures are amazing.

Professor Borszcz is a great teacher. He is clear, repeats anything that you don't, offers extra credit, and has notes already prepared for students! Would take a course with him again, super knowledgeable.

Lecture slides are clear and each lecture is accompanied by an outline posted on Blackboard. Three exams- each worth 33.3% of your grade, but completed study guides will help you earn 5 extra points on each exam. He also offers extra credit which can boost your overall grade up by 3%! Attend class and sit in the front. Cut him slack for being late!

Prof. Borsczc is a great professor! He wants his students to pass. Your grade is made up of three exams, no cumulative final. He offers lots of extra credit: a study guide before each exam worth 5 points and 3 SONA credits worth a 3% final grade boost. I highly suggest printing out the powerpoint slides or taking notes on them on you laptop.

Prof Borszcz is the best professor I've ever had. I've never been taught in a way where I truly absorb/understand all the material the first time presented to me. He has impacted my academic career & has changed my mentality and level of respect towards psychology. His tests are fair. If he ever returns to WSU, be sure to take one of his courses.

Dr. Borszcz clearly lovesH his students and what he does. He and has a very soft voice so I'd advise you sit in the front. In addition to the lectures, you need to know the lecture notes he posts on blackboard very well! More content comes from there for exams. Offers extra credit, lots of it. He's always willing to answer questions.

It's beneficial to go to class especially to get extra credit. I also recommend doing the study guides because it helps with learning the material and its 5 extra credit points each, which come in handy. He does talk softly so its better to sit close.

This class will kick your butt if you don't study. Attendance isn't mandatory however, it should be because all of your test ?'s come from his lectures. He posts lecture notes so you don't have to buy a book so that was nice. Professor Borszcz is a genius, he's very knowledgable and his lectures are engrossing however sit close, he's very quiet.

probably the smartest professor you'll ever have, a genuine genius. If you skip or don't listen then you're screwed. 3 tests and no assignments but lots of studying to do well. he will make you learn

He loves his job and this makes it enjoyable to learn in his class. He offers power points and outline lectures online so you don't have to go to class. He a very nice and smart guy!

test were not only MC, but matching, and diagram based. Need to know lectures and outlines very well. Gave the first 2 and last 2 MC and the vocab that was gonna be on the exam on random days, so show up. gave really in depth lectures- extra credit study guides- do them, they really bump up your exam scores!

He was a very inspirational although somewhat dry lecturer. His examples made the concepts much easier to understand. There is minimal homework, just 3 study guides you can do for extra credit for the 3 exams. Only the exams and the extra credit make up your grades. But still, the exams are easy and he posts outlines that you can forgo class for

He's very intelligent & will make you work for your grade. There's no homework, only 3 exams with study guides that are 5 points extra credit if you do them and turn them. No textbook. He wants you to do well in his class. Lectures can sometimes be dry- record them to re-listen (you'll need it, trust me), and sit close- he's quiet.

I really like Dr. Borszcz. My suggestion to ace his class would be to bring your laptop, sit close, and type notes on most of what he says. The study guide (worth 5 points extra credit) will be much easier if you go along that way and do it rather than saving it all for the weekend before an exam. He's incredibly smart and his lectures are good.

Dr. Borszcz was amazing! He did come in late, but I only minded because class time was so interesting and I honestly wished we had more time to listen. Sit near the front, and I'd recommend printing the slides and taking notes on them as he talks. Make sure you are able to talk yourself through each of the concepts... if you can, you've got an A!

I don't know why people complain about this prof. Although the material is tough, it is manageable. Dr. Borszcz gives students the first 2 and last 2 questions on each exam and the vocab words for the matching section. He also gives extra credit. The issue is that many students don't attend class, and their grade suffers as a result. ATTEND CLASS.

Dr. Borszcs was a great professor! Encouraged questions and gave a lot of extra credit which is a huge help in grade boosts. The class was very difficult for me and the tests were hard, but I did all the extra credit and passed with a C. He has a great personality. At times, he is late to class but be patient. Totally worth it!

He is super passionate about the material and presents it in a very clear and interesting way. However, he can be a bit dry. The exams are very straightforward and come straight from his lectures, PPTs, and the lecture outlines he provides you with instead of a textbook. Study the material well and do the extra credit study guides and an A is easy!

I had Dr. Borszcz for my honors thesis. He was absolutely amazing and always encouraged the best from me. What I learned from writing a thesis under his supervision goes far beyond what I have learned in many psych courses. He encourages you to think like a researcher, which is beneficial to any future graduate student. One of the best profs at WSU

Very very smart man. I had him from brain and behavior as well. He gives the first and last 2 MC questions and the word bank. His study guides add an extra 5 points to your test score. His test are out of 100 so if you get a 65 but do the study guide you'll get a 70. Do study guides early because they do take a lot of time. Take good notes!

Very intelligent, hard exams but offers good extra credit

He is a super nice man. lectures the entire class. He really knows his stuff. Class wasn't that difficult.. he gives you PowerPoints which he goes over in lecture and detailed lecture pdf.. exams are mostly on the detailed pdfs so study those. do the study guides to get 5pts EC on your exams. he will tell you what is on the exam.

You can tell he really knows his stuff. Hes extremely, extremely smart. However, the class is a bit difficult. Youre only graded on 3 exams. Kind of monotone, but push through and youll be fine. If youre looking for an easy A, dont take this class.

Whole grade relies on three exams and 3 e.c. points. In order to get an A you would need to listen to all lectures. Lectures are very slow and monotone, and most exams have hours worth of recorded lectures to watch. Open note but not enough time given to find all answers. Best recommendation: watch lectures at 2x speed, take notes, cntrl f during
