This class is such a joke even Braasch doesn't take it seriously. It's super easy and a good blow-off class, but not very stimulating. Braasch is funny, but his jokes are old after five minutes. Don't dare ask him a thoguhtful question because he hasn't actually studied psychology since who knows when. The course hasn't been updated in a decade.

I have had him for intro and abnormal psych and he is absolutely the best! He doesn't give too much homework, but if he does you have a week or more to complete it. He is hilarious and his lectures are really interesting, both in content and he shows really cool videos related to our topics. I would not have taken anyone else for these classes.

I took Psy-151 with Gerry Braasch and I fell in love with Psychology from that. After taking few semesters from psychology I really missed it and decided to take PSY-275 which is abnormal psychology. The class is not too difficult but have to study for the exams to receive a decent grade. I would for sure take his class again.

Having Mr. Braasch in my first semester at MCC made my life so easy and kept me looking forward to going to class. There wasnt one class he didnt make the entire class laugh at least 5 times. I missed one class because of a doctors appointment and when I emailed him to see what I missed, he gave me everything I needed. Awesome teacher, very fun.

Braasch is an awesome teacher. His assignments are inspirational, interesting, and fun. His assignments are simple, yet makes you learn. His assignments usually are a reflective essay on a Ted Talk (easy) and quizzes (easy). Just read the chapter throughout the week. Awesome professor!

Braasch is an amazing professor. I definitely recommend taking any of his classes, he cares, and makes sure you're understanding the material. Lectures are never fun, but Braasch always makes jokes and little sayings to help you remember information easier.

Gerald Braasch is my favorite teacher at MCC. I loved his class. He really cares about his students and wants them all to succeed. He made the material easy to understand and always provided ways to make it easy to remember. He's also very kind and happy to help you if you are struggling. Would highly recommend to take this psychology class.

I love Professor Braasch! He is absolutely hilarious, but is always respectful and kind. His class is not hard or unfair at all; he is a fair grader and gives us a week to complete assignments. I wish I could take another one of his classes. If you have the opportunity to have him, do it. I will remember him for the rest of my life!

Mr. Braasch had great stories and great jokes, all mixed in with super-interesting material. He really wants everyone to do well in the class. He comes up with interesting and easy ways for you to remember almost everything he teaches. He is also very aware and sympathetic to other things going on in life, like work and other classes.

I really liked working with Professor Braasch. My only concern was this man never reads his emails I swear. Gives great feedback, but honestly wouldnt recommend taking online if you struggle with psychology. however, I will say all of his tests are easy and usually are a cake walk. Nothing to worry about, just please make sure you read!

I took Gerry's PSY-275 class as a part of the Reel Minds Twofer, which combined abnormal psych with JRN-180. His lectures were amazing and very engaging. He's a really nice professor and has a great sense of humor. His exams are easy as long as you attend lectures and briefly read the textbook. I would definitely recommend any of his classes.

I loved this class. He gave good feedback and was not a tough grader. He seemed like he genuinely wanted you to understand the topics and would explain why things were wrong. If you do the weekly assignments and study for the tests this class is an easy A.

Mr. Braasch makes PSY 151 enjoyable, even at 8:30 AM. There's very little homework, and your grade is based mainly on four 60-question exams. His exam review sheets are a great tool for doing well in the class. Overall, a great professor with a relaxed, effective teaching style. Highly recommend!

Took online over winter. Super enjoyable class. His video lectures were simple, explained things well, and he always cracked a couple jokes throughout each of them. He's definitely able to keep things interesting, so even though the lecture videos may have been a bit long sometimes, they were still enjoyable yet to the point.

I could go on and on how much I adore Mr. Braasch! His classes were so fun and engaging even though he uses slides and lectures. He also really cares about his students, and keeps in touch even after you are out of his class. He encouraged me to go after a competitive scholarship, and has been such a standout professor at MCC!
