He makes the class so much fun and is really easy. I highly recommend him.
Def a class to take. He explains material very well, all his test are straight forward and right out of the book.
Prof LaMorte is awesome. he makes the class fun, you wont be bored. tests are straight forward, really easy. all you have to do is study your notes or look over the book. he's very helpful, intelligent, fun and cute =p
Great prof. highly recommend!!!
he is a great professor! His class was interesting and his exams were so easy. As long as u go to lecture and read the book u will get an A.
greta professor. so straight-forward. as long as you go to class and take notes, there is no way you'll get anything less than an A.
He was so easy! Never miss a class because if you do, you miss out on a lot of material that he goes over. During the reviews before the exam he would give the questions and let us answer them out loud. Very outgoing and makes the class fun. Take him whenever you get a chance! He only teaches at night, so make the effort of going because it'll all
Do not believe people who say "it so easy", because they never tell their grade. You DO have to go to class if you want to do well, he explains everthing, pay attention and you will do well. His class is fun, you dont get tired, and it is easy to remember things he said on class during the exams.
Best professor at RU...awesome class...midterm, final and paper...attendance is a must...highly recommended!!!
The BEST !
La Morte is the MAN!!! I've already taken him 3 times and he gets better everytime. You have to show up for class, because if you don't you'll miss out on a lot of information he covers in class. He's definitely not boring and makes you laugh 85% of the time. Take him, but make sure you go to class!
This prof was not easy like other reviews say. you must go to class and read the book in order to do well on the exams, he also makes you do a paper. the class was fun though def not boring.
He is a good professor and the class is very very interesting. Not bad on the eyes either. If you write well this class is an easy A. You need to participate but most of the time you will just be listening to guest speakers or watching very interesting movies or shows. Very enlightening and real life related. I encourage everyone to take this class
LaMorte is the man! Had him for winter 08 and he was so helpful, and clear. Read the corresponding material in the book with the notes he gives u and u'll do fine. He's extremly down to earth and funny, i'll take him whenever i can!
THIS PROFESSOR IS THE BOMB!!! hes really fun and his exams are all mult choice. you do have to go to class and read the textbook however.
As a senior I can say this is one of the best prof.Explain everything to the details,vere organized,always in a good mood. You must go to class to do well,he makes the class fun liking contexts from real life, pay attention and you'll learn, I can picture him talking on my exams. He's an example of how modern prof. should be,he makes you undestand.
ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS I'VE HAD.
I agree w/ the rater that said he is a modern professor, w today's busy life one cannot afford going to a boring class especially if one works during the day. You DO have to go and pay attention, if you don?t you do bad...he put the material in a funny way, but the he is not funny on the quizzes. Best professor but you have to be a mature person.
pretty good teacher. hes decently funny and makes the class interesting. really easy tests and fairly easy class. somewhat vain but that makes him funny
He has a lot of knowledge in this field (psych of sexual orientation). He also throws in some clinical stuff - which benefits those of us going into the mental health field. You can tell he works hard at what he does and he is def here to stay at RU(we hope). COOL PROF!!
Great teacher,attendance mandatory, not a easy class(writing intensive). If you want a C one can say its not a hard class, but if you are like me and want an A you have to work hard for it!! dont be fooled that its a easy class because you will do bad, he does test stuff from the book.
Very good prof. Not an easy class but for a 400 level & writ. intensv not hard either. Tests are from powerpoints and what he focuses the most in class. 2 out of 4,5 questions and he is a fair grader too. Very interesting material well organized & presented, he makes it fun. Always upbeat, highly reccommended!
Good professor. Enjoyed the class a lot. He made even the boring lectures interesting. His TAs are also very helpful. Tests are sometimes hard and you DO have to study and read the text in order to pass! Make sure you show up, participate in recitation and do your R-Points and you're on your way to a solid grade.
He is one of the greatest professors at Rutgers..He is very helpful and funny...(and an extra point because he's hot)
its a very interesting and fun class. sometimes, he goes off topic and also if he catches you talking, he'll call you out in front of everyone. so pay attention and make sure you study for the tests because some of the stuff is not easy. overall, he's a great prof and the stuff he teaches is really interesting!
Very interesting class. He takes attendance seriously (only allowed two excused absences). His lectures are all powerpoints but he still manages to make them fun and interesting. Overall great professor, down to earth, knows what he is doing, TAKE HIS CLASS!!
There are three exams all roughly covering 5 chapters and a final exam (cumulative). The exams require some studying, but if you follow along in class, read the chapters, and attend recitation you should do well. With his awesome sense of humor and method of teaching, classes were never dull. And he's a total hottie! Take it, well worth it.
This guy is hilarious, and good looking =)
He's super helpful, really nice material in this class is tough though, ALOT OF READING. Following his lecture and you should do well, oh yeah there are exams so do your best.
he is a great prof. just alot of reading...theres 3 exams he drops the lowest grade and a final...he is funny as hell too
I was his TA in 2008, he is a person full of talent, I always tell my husband I wished I had some of the talent!! He is a great person, and a great professor.
LaMorte is just great he alwayd made me laugh and was super nice. He's young and def not boring, he knows how to relate to his students. His tests aren't hard just follow his slides read the chapter summaries at the end of each module and you's do fine. His final is 40% of questions from other tests just "copies and pate" as he said :) TAKE HIM!!!!
He's a nice guy, but you do need to follow the readings. If you don't, you will be in trouble. The class isn't impossible though.
This class is probably the best psych class I've ever taken. If you have the opportunity to have him as a teacher, sign up for it!
Funny, smart and kinda easy but dont tell him that. Trust me especially if u like psych u'll wanna come to class because he keeps it interesting. Uses powepoints but I used the book to study. Study!!! Even though he's laid back his tests are not as easy as u think
He kept class interesting and used Powerpoints to teach. You have to keep up with the reading if you want to pass the class though.
Suchhhhh a good class, learned the stuff you cant learn from reading a textbook. Lots of easy writing assignments, no attendence and enjoyable class discussions
Easy A if you study. 3 exams, multiple choice 50 questions each. If you study the modules in the textbook the night before you should get an A
I loved his class. I laughed and learned. He is the best!
Really cute!!! Prof LaMorte is an excellent professor. Probably one of the best in the psych department. Highly recommend him if you want to actually learn something. You MUST STUDY for his exams. He is in no way an easy A so don't walk into his class thinking that. He is very laid back and he makes class very comfortable. TAKE HIM!!
The hottest prof in Rutgers. He is extremely funny and makes it easy to learn. Take his class. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT!!!
Awesome Professor!
Really cool professor, overall easy class just shw up to recitation
really good teacher. his lectures are funny and interesting. only bad thing is his grading is different. to get an A you need a 92 but it is really easy to get it. recommend you take him
Great!Super Funny Guy and I had him for 102, very interesting, TA's are cool and lectures are a complete must!! He really engagaes you into lecture by asking questions so it helps fight the whole going to sleep in class thing..
Great professor. His lectures are very interesting and fun. You will be fine in his class as long as you print the power point off of blackboard and follow along in class. The book is very interesting, but make sure you read it for the exam.The exams a little bit hard, but if you read, pay attention, and go to recitation, you'll get a good grade :)
I took Principles of Psychology. Very good teacher, super funny, super cool, and attractive. If you go to lecture, recitation, and read the modules, you will definitely ace this class, no doubt about it.
pretty easy and fair class. The tests are not too hard as long as read the modules in the book and review his powerpoints.
Best professor you can have!! After each lecture I was able to repeat what I learned. He makes class so much fun, engages everyone in conversation and shows interesting videos almost all the time. Make sure you take notes in class and read the modules. Once again, best professor you can have for psychology!
Great Professor, explains everything in details and uses his awesome sense of humor to engage the students into his lectures. Exams may be a little tricky but if you study the PPT notes and the textbook you will do fine.. and don't forget to complete your R-points.
Professor LaMorte is probably one f the most interesting teachers. He makes the material very fun to learn and relates it to every day life. Bad thing is that 92 is an A. READ THE TEXTBOOK for his exams.
Best professor ever. Exams are really a breeze if you study from the notes, the book, and attend his lectures. All his lectures are so interesting!
AWESOME PROFESSSOR! VERY INTERESTING! EASY TO UNDESTAND!.. JUST PAY ATTENTION AND TAKE NOTES AND YOU'LL PASSS... i didnt need my textbok.
Professor La Morte was my inspiration to major in Psychology.. He's a great professor and a great person.. very knowledgeable and very understanding.. I always enjoyed going to class and I learned so much.. not just about Psychology but about life over all.
Love him! Most helpful professor out there. Extremely easy class. Also, great personality. Made learning fun.
Honestly, the best professor ever! His class is interesting, exams are quite easy as long as you attention. TAKE HIM!
BEST PROFESSOR OUT THERE. Do NOT miss an opportunity to take a course with this genius of a man. He is hilarious, fun, easy-going, and makes lectures fun. All the while, students learn a lot. 10/10. Perfection in a nutshell.
Okay, he is a great professor and really inspired me to have a psych minor! He's hilarious and really connects with his students. However, good luck if you're late because he won't let you in (even if you have a chem lab prior)! Another drawback, a 92 and greater is considered an A. Also, reading the book helps!
If you skip his class, there is something seriously wrong with you! He is an absolutely AMAZING professor. If you pay close attention in class and the PPT, you'll be fine for the exams. Reading the book helps. Also, he is HOT! And super nice. Don't use your phone in class and be on time or he'll kick you out.. also teaches valuabe life lessons :)
This professor is absolutely AMAZING! Take his class. I was undecided when I came to college & this guy made me realize who I am. He is HILARIOUS and makes lectures very fun & engaging. Just pay attention in class, study the PPT & you'll be good for the exams. BE ON TIME or you won't be allowed in. Plus he is super nice, understanding & VERY CUTE!
The best pysch professor out there!!!!!! Attendance is not mandatory but i never missed a class because it was so interesting! He's inspirational funny, smart, and hot!! Loved loved loved his class! Take him you will not regret it!!!!!!!!!!!
I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Lamorte! He is truly amazing, and you will never be bored.
He's amazing! He's funny. You don't have to go to class but he'll make you want to because he's so funny and interesting.
Very cool professor. Attendance isn't mandatory but his lectures are fun. Haven't used the book because he posts his slides online! I would definitely take him again.
He is the best professor that I have had and I got all A's on 3 of the exams that count. In all we took 4 but we are aloud to drop the lowest grade.
Hilarious professor with amazing lectures. Presents the lectures in a way for you to be able to understand. Attendance not mandatory, but I suggest you going because his slides are not that informative, although you can read the book to learn more about the topic presented (which is probably more boring than his lectures, tbh). Take him, easy class
Hilarious and blunt. You will get called out in his class if you're late or on your phone. Pay attention, do the readings, and you'll get an A. Very straightforward.
To say- "Professor LaMorte is the best" would be an understatement. He is very well respected by all students; people actually want to participate in his class without being asked. He is an extremely nice human & always available to help. Lectures are super interesting as well. Another added value, he's very charming, & attractive! Take his class!
This is the fourth class I have taken with Dr. LaMorte. He is awesome. His lectures are posted on blackboard and exams are very straightforward, no trick questions. He always very helpful during office hours as well. Attendance is not mandatory but it definitely helps to go to class.
I took him for Fieldwork & Abnormal Psych. I just want to write how amazing he is! Definitely the best professor in Rutgers. He knows how to teach & really inspirational. He's the reason why I want to do Psych Nursing.. I'm done with my double major in Psych but I want to take his classes again and learn from him! Definitely the best!
he's a great professor. he didn't take attendance, however, the tests are pretty much straight from his lectures. he does upload the powerpoints but he doesn't include the videos he shows in class. if you miss class, just read the textbook and you'll be good. tests, r-points & recitation are the only grades and your lowest test grade is dropped.
Taken multiple classes with him. One of my fav professors of all time. Lectures actually keep you interested. I never used textbooks for his courses. Just show up to class, pay attention, which he makes easy to do, and take good notes on the slides. No surprises on the 3 or 4 MC exams. Sometimes has choices that can be confusing so go with your gut
A funny guy. Class is easy-going, however must take notes because not everything he says is on the power point. In order to do good you must study for his class. But nothing too hard.
Good professors. 3 essays, and you'll also need to write reviews for others. Says he doesn't drop the lowest one, but he does. Gives extra credits. Final essay has most weight on your final grade. I would take him again.
Enjoyable lectures. Tests are essays, interesting topics. Very fair grader.
Dr. LaMorte is the best Psych professor at RU-N. Inspirational, hilarious, intelligent, and extremely helpful in class and during office hours. You do have to really pay attention during lectures and to his slides if you want to get an A. Take good notes, and you wont' need the textbook.
Best professor EVER! I really enjoyed every lecture. The way that Dr. LaMorte explains it is very interesting and easy to learn
just take the class, you won't regret it
Great lecturer. Open to hearing your thoughts and educating you. Funny and amazing. Take ALL his classes available! Not an easy A, but he makes you WANT to learn and understand. GO TO CLASS! Loved his 6-9s. Also if you don't, you probably won't pass or do as well. Great guy 10/10 would take again.
Please take Dr. Lamorte hes such a great professor and humanitarian. We need more like him at Rutgers. Also, please take his work serious or it will reflect in your grades.
TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE! Took him for Clinical Psychology and was dreading it because it was a night class- but he makes it SOOO enjoyable and fun and you learn a lot. Powerpoints have a lot of info so go to class and take good notes and you'll be fine. He also offers extra credit at the end of the semester.
He is one of the best professors I have ever had. If you pay attention, attend class regularly, read your textbook and study you will be fine. The class itself is super fun, even though it is a 3 hour class you literally do not feel it, it goes by so fast. Never doubt on taking him and the class itself helped me learn a lot about psychology.
Amazing guy. Makes the material interesting and easy to understand in order to make us better in life, as well as giving advice and tips of psychological issues to understand people. Take him if you can, you won't regret it.
I took this class online and it was the easiest A I have ever received
He is a great professor, pay attention more toward his lecture/slides because most of his tests revolve around that (for my class at least). Other than that, you should get an A.
He is one of the most genuine people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Great guy and great professor.
He doesnt teach, gives 3 hard exams with wording that is extremely confusing. Each exam is worth 30%-35% with no other assignments, quizzes, etc throughout the course. Wouldnt recommend.
Lamorte is hands down the best professor at Rutgers, the bad rating review below must be from someone who expects an A for doing nothing because if you study and follow his power points you are guaranteed to pass. His lectures are fun and his exams are easy.
he is one of a kind indeed
He is an excellent professor! He makes the three-hour lecture really fun and he always dismiss the class early since we are ahead of schedule. You are always free to ask questions during lectures, and he always give honest answers.
He is an amazing professor. I had to take this class at night but he truly made it worth while. Grade is based on 3 exams and quizzes. The material is super interesting and not hard to grasp either. Would defintiely reccomend.
Prof. Lamorte is a great professor with easy to understand lectures and powerpoints. He never takes attendance but you should go to class cause he explains more than what is on the powerpoints and the material for exams and quizzes come from what he says. Go to class, take notes, and study and you will do fine in his class.
Great professor . The professor's lecture was fun. Reach out to him he will definitely help you with your any problem or any question about the class. I would suggest all students if you want an easy and learn something take it.
His classes are so fun and I am glad that I took his class! No homework, no attendance just 3 exams and they are online and really easy. He is really inspirational.
Took abnormal psych with professor lamorte and he make the lectures so enjoyable. He's so funny and is always telling great stories. Exams were online and I recommend taking any class that he teaches.
Amazinggg professor, took him for abnormal psych and currently taking him again for intro to clinical psych. He is very caring, funny and accomodating. Gives extention on exams if you are having issues. Wish more professors were like him lol
I loved his class!! The easiest professor ive ever had. His exams were straight forward and easy. He is talkative which makes the class go by faster. Im signing up for more of his classes because of how much I loved his teaching style. He made sure to teach us in a way that didnt feel like a lecture
He's alright
The one problem I have with this course is that the exams can be completely based off the slides or the book, at random. Good professor, funny guy. Tests are proctored with a webcam, not that bad do not be scared!! Last test is the most difficult imo, he does round the final course grade (half or full letter grade based on class average).
Exams are a little hard, however, the professor curves a whole letter grade. Very understanding and responds fast to emails
Amazing teacher, helps students understand information with extremely helpful examples. Exams are easy if you study and take notes.
Take him , PSY102 his lecture is funny , he gives good information , Just a midterm and a final . I would take him again for sure . Best professor
Super nice and funny. Goes into detail in lecture, very approachable both in class, after class and over email about any questions. Only grades on midterm and final, there is a textbook but he provides the free link and must do inquizitive for the chapters he assings. Does curve the grades. I would recommend him to anyone taking this course.
Top tier professor i really respect him. He curves assignments and like inquisitive which are really easy. If you dont pass this class its because you didnt do one assignment
The easiest class you can take, there are about 12 inquizzitives that you have until the end of the semester to complete (if you get a bad grade you can retake). Then there's the midterm and final exam, that's it for the class, great professor, the lectures are very entertaining they're also not mandatory to attend. VERY EASY CLASS
Amazing professor! Although it is a 6-9 class, you get out earlier. He makes his lectures very interesting and very funny. If you fail this class, that's literally on you; his exams couldn't be any easier; they are based on the slides. All quizzes are due by the end of the semester. Literally take him if you can!!!
