Even though his exams are really hard, if you know your stuff super well you'll do fine. He's always there when you need help and he's really nice. All around good teacher because he actually makes class interesting and somewhat fun!

don't take his class... exams are hard and are in such detail, not to mention a page long for one multiple choice questions... you use the etxbook for bascially background and he teaches past research that is sooo boring... BUT he is a good prof, easy to talk to and is interactive to help you get through 3 hours of class... material sucks though.

Great prof and always there to provide extra help. Extremely flexible with meeting times. Multiple choice exams that are brutal! You really have to know your stuff because your tested on every aspect (text, lectures, and extra readings)

Guy is sooooo awesome! He always makes sure everyone is on the same page before moving on to another study. He ALWAYS stays after class to talk to people. He's easy to understand and even easier to get along with. This man knows his**** inside and out. His exams are hard though. And the material people find even harder.

This prof is amazing. If he tells you something is going to be on the exam - it will be. His exams are easy, as he realy prepares you in class. If you end up with a small class with him, it is really fun. Took this course in the summer, where the workload is double, and still ended up with an A+

Guy was a great prof and made the material as interesting and as understandable as he could. I really enjoyed his class and found his tests challenging but pretty fair.

Guy really cares about his students and wants everyone to do well. He made the topic somewhat interesting even though its a really boring subject. His exams arent the easiest things in the world, but not hard either.

He was extremely helpful. He really goes into great detial which benefits later for Psyc2002!

Amazing teacher. I had no interested in Cognition before this seminar. He was extremely helpful and would go out of his way to make sure everyone received the best possible mark. his papers were tricky, but as long as you asked for help, you will end up with an A. He even made himself available outside of class and office hours.

He's a good prof, hard midterms and final tho.

Research Methods is a boring class but he makes it as interesting as he can... mainly with his humor. He seems like hes really easy going which may fool you into thinking hes a slacker prof but hes not. He gives you as many hints as he can and as much help without spoon feeding you! You have to know your stuff! Make sure you study

I enjoy his class, he is clear, and seems to care. I would recommend his course!

Great professor. While the material is fairly challenging, his tests are extremely fair as long as you know the material inside and out. Extremely willing to help you out if you don't get it. True he doesn't follow the textbook, but he does tell you almost exactly what will be on the test from the book. Not easy, but if you study you'll do fine.

He is a good professor. His charisma and humour keeps my attention from fading. He is also super sexy ;)

Okay this course is kind of useless. Exams are mainly based on lectures so you need to attend. Prof always asks if we have questions but when a student has one he either says he does't know or he is a little defensive. All the lectures are about experiments and than the next lecture is about how the last experiment was wrong.

Guy is a wonderful prof. Although I found his tests to be more challenging than my other psych classes, if you study well, then you will do well. The lecture material focuses on studies, which can be a little lame at times. Guy wants his students to be successful. He teaches you how to learn, study and memorize in order to do well.

Great summer prof (although he keeps you the full three hours). He doesn't just care about imparting material but also about helping his students prepare for their futures in psychology. Extremely knowledgeable, great exams, easy A+ mini-assignments. I didn't care for the subject matter but I definitely recommend taking this class with him.

I like the fact that he didn't just ramble material from the textbook. He took the time and energy to explain points, play cheesy '80s music to keep us awake during the night classes, and use examples of research (including his own, of course). All in all, a great professor. :)

Guy is a great prof, so long as you don't count on getting out of class early. He does keep you the full time, but he is an entertaining prof. His exams are easy if you study for them and put in the work (he doesn't try any nasty trick questions). He really only used the textbook for definitions, charts, and graphs.

Good prof, tries to make material interesting for such a boring class.Go to class and you will do well. make sure to do the readings. Exams are average, sometimes questions are too wordy.

Best prof I've had in psychology in 4 years at Carleton. Every class was interesting. Very reasonable guy. Actually went out into the crowd and broke the 4th wall. It was like the opposite of those crumby profs who stay behind the desk and read the slides. Awesome class, mad respect to Guy for taking it seriously (but not too seriously)

Exellent prof. Makes class content interesting but exams are tricky and have confusing wording. Also extremely long questions.

Good prof, attendance is not mandatory but he does occasionally give bonus marks to anyone in the classroom. His class also has SONA study like bonus marks, making a high grade easier.

Guy is a great prof who is engaging during class, and has funny exam questions. He gives bonus marks for class attendance - it's very important to him. If you go to class, you'll ace it. Fair testing - not just definitions but challenges you to apply concepts. I'll take another one of his classes any day.

This teacher is amazing. Highly engaging and always looking to captivate the students mind. Go to class as he give bonus marks for attendance and gives away easy questions on the multiple choice exams. Also the book does come in handy for the mini assignments. Would take again.

Guy is a funny & tries his best to make this boring course entertaining. The course is pretty simple, if you go to class and study exactly what he tells you from the textbook you'll do well! However, one down side I do have to say that he's vague with answering questions on assignments and may make you look stupid.Overall, he's a good prof.

Great prof who keeps the subject interesting, even if it is Stats. Very clear when it comes to terms and theories. If you must take PSYC 2001, Guy is a great professor to introduce you to Stats and won't leave you feeling overwhelmed.

Such a great Guy! (Pun intended!) Exams are MC, easy and clear. Textbook's key terms are tested, he clearly tells you exactly what will be on the tests. Makes material interesting! Always willing to chat after class or help you with ANYTHING. How to study: make simple notes from the slides, and define the key terms in the text Easy A+

Was dreading research methods, he made it interesting!

Such an amazing professor, he tells you exactly what to study from the textbook (saves a lot of time) and his exams are easy if you go to class! Gives students a lot of opportunities for bonus marks. He teaches in a way to engage the students, so its easy to follow along, and will reexplain things if he thinks students aren't understanding it!

If you go to class and actually pay attention you are GOLDEN. He gives a lot of opportunities for bonus marks, which is unreal. Hands down the most fair prof at Carleton.

Great prof. Very knowledgeable about his field. There are no surprises on thee tests.

Really passionate about the course, and really does care about his students. Was a pleasure to be in the class and would definitely take another course taught by him.

Guy is my favourite professor, I've taken multiple classes with him. He's hilarious and loves to interact with the class (scream, clap, swear, whatever works to grab your attention). He does a lot of in-class demonstrations and lets you know when info is important (exam material). He's really thorough in what he talks about and is big on attendance

Professor Lacroix is a very enthusiastic prof who has an in depth knowledge of his field. His exams are fair, but will be difficult if you have not attended lecture. He gives clear instructions on the exam content, pay attention. He is a great prof I highly recommend his classes.

Guy is an incredible person all together. Especially for his seminar he will do everything he can to make sure you go into your thesis prepared. He will pick and every little detail that needs improvement and give you direct advice. He is honest almost to a fault, but this is something I personally admire. Inspirational human.

Guy is hilarious! He knows how brutal research methods material is but he does his absolute best to make it entertaining. The games he plays and the stories he tells in class will come back on your midterms and final! Attendance is a must for this class. Pay attention he will straight up tell you what he is going to test you on. He is super smart!

The best of the best. Expect to work hard and expect to be rewarded for that hard work.

Guy manages to turn what would normally be a dry, boring course into something exciting. By and large, the greatest teacher I've ever had.

Guy is easily the best prof I've had throughout my university career. Unlike others, he won't sugar coat anything and really prepares you to succeed. Do not take this class if you want to slide by and get the credit. You should definitely take this class if you want to improve your writing and analytical skills while looking at fascinating research

Great prof! I thought research methods was going to be boring, but he made it more interesting. He likes to interact with students. His exams are difficult especially if you didn't study much.

Easily one of the best prof's I've ever had! Lecture's were informative and fun, even at 8:30am. Guy wants to see his students do well and if you put in the work there's no reason you shouldn't.

Really good at taking a boring class and making it interesting. Cares about his students and gives good advice for the future. Interesting lectures, he's engaging and funny. His exams are hard if you don't study, but the excel assignments are easy and relevant to the course. Overall highly recommend taking his classes, he knows his stuff!

I went into this class with low expectations.I was pleasantly surprised by Guy and how engaging he was! If you go to class and listen to him lecture, there is no reason why you can't do well. I would say 80% of his exams are based solely on his lectures. The other 20% is usually on definitions from the textbook that overlap (at times) with lectures

One of my absolute favourite profs! His lectures are super interesting and he's clearly very knowledgable. He loves getting into discussions with students which keeps things fresh. His tests are hard so make sure to study and take good notes, but you'll do well if you put the work in.

Probably my favourite prof so far! Very entertaining and extremely good at teaching. Also very fair and likes to make sure you're on the right track and know what you're doing for the sake of knowing, not just so you can pass and be done with the material. I would definitely take one of his courses again!

Guy is really invested in his work, which makes his lectures so enjoyable. He has a good sense of humour and his exams are really nicely organized, which makes it much easier to do (But only if you studied and went to all of his lectures). But he was behind in his lectures, which was a little frustrating.

Really good prof. Makes lecture enjoyable. If you do your readings on time you will thank yourself when it comes to the tests. Easy tests as long as you know the terms that need to be studied (which he posts).

Read your textbook, go to lectures, take notes, and study! Assessments were quizzes & exams with M/C q's, but they were difficult questions. Prepare! Bonus marks available. Accessible outside of class. Funny. Likes to be interactive in class. Detailed lectures - don't skip! Overall great prof! Would take again.

Super friendly! Comes hard with the dad jokes and even roasted himself during lecture, I appreciate a good prof with added humour. Tests are hard. Will not tolerate people who slow down the class. Easy to talk to in emails or after class. Very attractive in a French Canadian dad hot kind of way.

Really great guy. Puts himself into the teaching. Very personable and friendly to approach. Clear and concise teaching style. It was his first time teaching PSYC1001 when I had him and he did an awesome job. Half and half between his lecture slides and textbook work. Lectures weren't boring and he really made expectations of the course clear.

If you get his humor his jokes are hillarious. Nice and friendly. I only had to email him once during the semester and he replied promptly. Exams are easy, if you study and show up to class. He points out which slides will be on the exam. His exams are lecture based. Textbook is handy for vocab, so yes, you'll need to read it.

Great Prof, explains concepts very clearly. The exams are 70% based on lectures and 30% based on readings. The questions are very specific so missing class is asking for a failing grade. Overall, just do your job as a student, and this prof will make your life easier.

Honestly, I really liked this professor. Not only did he explain everything really well. But also he genuinely was a funny professor. Also, for the people saying the quizzes were too much, should be thankful, cause there were no assignments, essays, or any of that sort of crap. Just plain applying knowledge. Made me like psychology as a course too!

This course is content heavy, but his exams are not super in-depth and he gives quite a few free answers if you pay attention in lectures. Would definitely take his courses again.

Guy is an excellent professor with an extremely thorough knowledge of the material. His exams are tough, and they pay attention to the small details of studies he presents in lectures. But, he's very clear in his grading criteria, and expectations, and is good for dropping some hints. If you miss lectures you're screwed. He's hilarious too.

Guy is amazing. He is clear on his grading criteria. The exam is reading heavy and if you skip class, you really will fail because reading the textbook sometimes won't make any sense (at least for me). He's funny and he really love teaching.

Good things come in small packages. Read the book. Watch the lecture. If you don't suck, his class won't.

he is a good guy

Guy's clear first week of his expectations for the semester. There are online quizes once a week solely based on textbook. The questions did get difficult but the quizes ensured that students were ontrack through out the semester. For finals and midterms, Guy clearly lays out everything that is on the exam. Go to the lectures and read, youll pass.

Everything is clearly outlined before the tests which helps for studying and lets you know if there is any overlap of material. Great prof for the course.

He is a great instructor that has a great sense of humour- if you understand it. we have had several incredibly rude students who have made my blood boil with the lack of respect, he fires of a quick retort and moves along. It is very heavy reading and if you fall behind in it good luck to you on the exams. Keeps up with the workload your golden.

Hands down one of the best profs I've had so far. Guy goes to full extent to ensure that students understand the lecture material being discussed even if it puts him behind. The course isn't textbook heavy, but know your stuff. He's very clear in the exam material, if he says you'll be tested on it, expect it to be there.

Took this class during the summer term to catch up on my minor is psych. I took the course online and watched each class live. All the exams were multiple choice. You will be tested on lecture material and textbook material separately, but often these overlap so you may be tested on the same thing twice. For text: just read key work definitions.

Very fun guy. Makes the night class much more enjoyable.

Im in my first year at Carleton and I have to say, Guy Lacroix made my first impression of university amazing. One of the best teachers I have ever had!

One of my favourite profs. Great teacher, very funny, and he really organizes the course with clear instructions about grading and how to do well. Chapters are lengthy, 8 mandatory open book quizzes but gets rid of lowest 2. Make sure you understand the concepts rather than just memorize the terms. Do the reading, attend the lectures & you'll pass.

Great prof, very engaging fun lectures. Textbook is mandatory for the quizzes. It's essential to attend lectures as well. Very generous grading scheme, everything is multiple choice. Lectures, what you are being quizzed on, even the test question origin (from book or class) are very clear and well structured. His teaching style maximizes learning.

Very entertaining Prof, midterm and final were both very straightforward and he tells you how to prepare for it. Will probably have to do a good amount of studying but you'll definitely do well if you do study.

Guy Lacroix is my favourite prof. He's a funny and tries to make his lectures as interesting as possible. He uses lots of funny anecdotes and engaging demonstrations. I will say that he is a bit egotistical and not everyone likes him. But if you're like me and values a prof that tries to makes 3 hour lectures bearable, he's the prof for you.

Had a lot of quizzes, but they were well-worded and directly from the textbook. Very funny and knows what he is talking about.

Found this class very organized and clear cut with grading. You really get out what you put in. He made lectures very easy to understand and the tests were based very clear off the readings. Plus all readings were under 40 pages a week. Loved this class and would def take it again. Great teacher.

Guy Lacroix is one of my favourite professors in Carleton. He makes everything interesting and relatable. Every week I left the lecture room with a full understanding of concepts and I never really wanted to skip class because it's always fun and engaging.

Guy's lectures were honestly pretty engaging given the material. He had a good attitude coming into the class and made it more bearable for everyone. In addition to this, he genuinely was a good teacher and explained the content well. He's definitely very passionate about his job. He is harsh about his deadlines, so do your work on time/early.

Guy is an awesome person, he's caring of his students and funny, and tried his best to make sure lecture isn't too heavy. He's strict, doesn't tolerate problems, and is tough to talk to during office hours.

Guy is a great prof. He really likes teaching this class. The weekly quizzes are very easy to complete but the lab was a bit annoying. the midterm and final were hard and he makes it clear too. pay attention to the lectures and understand important concepts in textbook to do well. lectures are not boring they are interesting.

I had Professor Lacroix for my very first PSYC class, and he's the reason I decided to minor in it. His tests are not easy, but it pushes you to truly understand the material rather than just memorize it. He is very explicit about his expectations, and clearly outlines what you need to know.

Interesting lecturer, making stats less scary and more applicable.

Other reviews are pretty harsh. You do work for this class but Prof Lacroix clearly breaks up grades, provides bonus. Lab could have been difficult if not for clear instructions (just don't leave things to the last moment). Yes, exams were hard. Focus heavily on case studies and experiments and understand enough to explain to someone in own words.

Very down to earth prof, good at explaining concepts, but lectures can be quite dense because of the subject matter.

Dr. Lacroix is a fantastic professor. I took this class online during COVID and the quizzes were open book. His lectures are super engaging, he's funny and is obviously very passionate about psychology! He's very clear about what will be on the exam and if you take solid notes during his lecture and read the chapters, the exam questions are easy

His classes aren't easy but not unreasonably so. He really rewards effort, so as long as you try in this class you should do fairly well. He also allows you to send him papers in advance for feedback and will make enough comments that you can improve your paper by a couple of grade levels. Honestly one of the best profs I have ever had

Guy is brilliant, considerate and understanding. He is highly knowledgable of all the course content and he wants to help you improve, but you also have to show up and put the work in. I learned an exceptional amount about psychological writing as well about how to navigate the academic world. He prepare me for future studies more than anyone else.

I have taken psychology courses at three points in life and have never had a professor quite like this. It is absoloutly clear he spends time considering the best way to teach the material and his goal is accomplished. Providing demonstrations that allow us to think about how we thinking by living it is simply brilliant.

Prof Lacroix deserves a much higher rating! I learned more from him than any of my other profs combined over the years. The work is challenging but if you put in your best effort, you will be rewarded. This is one of the only profs I've seen who genuinely cares about his students and their success and well-being. Plus he's so fun!
