But don't think that's just because he's nice you're gonna ace his class; you earn your grade & he gives plenty of oppurtunities for extra credit.

In addition to what everyone else says, if you're taking the course via distance ed--for each Exam, start with the lecture with the exam review first. That way, you will know what to take notes on as you watch the lectures, as well as what you need to highlight in the book. Great professor, interesting class. You'll learn lifeskills in this one!

His cultural psych class is easy but beware of his psychology of gender class. I got an A in his cultural psych class doing little work. I did the same amount of work and got a C in his psych of gender class. He grades ridiculously hard on the essay part of the exams and there are no curves. Extra credit doesn't help.

(Online Class) Takes an estimate of 1-2 weeks to answer emails. Not very specific in his responses. Material taught was filmed over 10 years ago. Review is pretty much the Test itself. Memorization & recognition is key to passing Exams. Max of 4 points available for Extra Credit- please complete, you will need it. 3 Exams only, taken at the U of H.

This guy isn't so bad. Students have copies of previous test and even test bank. He is lazy to change his test sometimes. Test were flipped from definitions to questions. I think it's unfair cause I barely learned anything even though I went to class. All I heard was stories about his grandkids. You don't have to show to an A which is sad.

The lectures are over 15 years old and he rambles. He expects you to memorize what he says, word for word, for the tests. They're 'short answer' but that just means to memorize his words, rather than think for yourself. And he counts points off for nothing.

If you're not a test person, this professor is not for you. Your overall grade will rely heavily on 3 quizzes, yes 3, and short answers are extra difficult to get a good grade on. 10% of your grade is 5 hours of SONA research which is tedious but not hard.

Most of what he taught is from an older era - psychological ideals that have been completely disproven in recent years as not only factually incorrect, but outright dangerous to be parroted as truths. If you are a psych major, do not take this class, as you will be very unprepared for the next stage, especially when it comes to mental health.

If you don't want to write an essay every week I wouldn't recommend taking Cultural Psych with Agan. The essays weren't difficult or laborious, but they were a weekly occurrence so keep that in mind. His online lectures are from around 10 years ago, so they are outdated, but I didn't find them necessary to be successful in the course or tests.
