FUNNY COOL GUY. It is an easy A. Sometimes, he repeats things to make sure we get them. You may "learn" more from another prof, but he is the most intelligent/funny teacher i have had. Plus juggling was fun.
Dr. Brophy makes psychology a comedy show
Learned next to nothing. I like to EARN my As. I don't need them handed to me on a silver platter for juggling & playing with clay! This is a University, not Kindergarten class! Take someone else if you want to learn. Take Brophy if you're a whining baby!
DEFINITELY take this class. The TAs are sometimes ****y, but Brophy is so laid-back and if you have a problem, you can just go to him. Make sure you check online for quizzes, but otherwise you're set. You get to watch Fight Club too.
Easiest A ever, very funny and entertaining but makes you learn the material
VERY EASY! Brophy is fun and very different. He teaches material in a fun way. Easy A but also alot of fun. Lots of movies and extra credit.
You can tell he is very smart and most of the class loves his jokes. If you like to hear jokes pertaining to sex all the time then this is the class for you, although I personally think that is ridiculous in a class setting.
Definitely take this prof. And this class. Very funny. Makes you learn. Play with clay, draw, and learn to juggle. Gave us 50 hurricane pts. Kind of hard material;science. Over all great prof.
this guy is just simply the man. Makes psychology FUN. Lots of fun things to do, and you learn how to juggle
Best teacher ever!! He is the reason why I currently have my Masters. He was the best professor I ever had!!!

Great professor!!! In a class of like 400 mostly everyone shows up, and thats bc he makes class fun. There is no possible way to fail. He's helpful but he refers you to your TA's and our TA this year are disorganized, and they often confuse the students and change things up.
Awesome professor! Makes class fun and it's super easy to get an A if you put forth a little effort!
BEST AND FUNNIEST CLASS EVER! BROPHY is the man. Class is so easy, lectures are hilarius, watch cool movies like fight club. I failed the third test, didnt take the final and still got an A in the class. He gives a group test too. :) Your really lazy or just realy dumb if you can't get an A w/brophy
This class has lots of busy work, but definitely lots of easy assignments, with a few hard ones. His lectures are interesting. He keeps you engaged. His TA's kinda suck. It would've been nice to see a male TA. He's very generous with points. Good class to take!
Dr. Brophy is an amazing professor. He is funny and you will learn a lot without even realizing it. There is a whole bunch of useless busy work but if you somewhat try you will get a high B if not an A. A word of warning...you will need to know how to juggle!!! :-/
This class was AWESOME! He was a great teacher although if ur interested in learning a lot this is not the class for you. There is a LOT of busy work but well worth it cuz u will definitely get an A if u just do maybe half of it.
Duh....it's Brophy....if you take anyone over him you are skipping out on an A.
He's the best professor on campus. Every class is so much fun. You don't have to worry so much about your grade - if you just come to class you will learn a lot and do fine. Makes it very easy to get an A.
He's really really easy, very liberal and free willed with grades and basically just wants you to hear what he has to say and learn something. He uses lots of comparisons to explain things which makes it really easy
Brophy is the best professor that I've had so far! The material was boring, but he made it interesting. He's very understanding when it comes to completing assignments. Hardly anyone misses class, though. This was one class that I always went to willingly. I just wish he taught more courses.
Best class and impossible to not get an A. Always fun to go to class, its more like an entertaining show. Nice guy. Even if you feel like you don't understand the tests, stay calm because you'll still get an A. Just go to class and do extra credits and you'll be good to go.
Dr. Brophy is awesome. You get to do a lot with movies, music and juggling in this course. It's definitely a course to take. I looked forward to going to class because he made it fun. You have a lot of options for extra credit and you can get an A if you try!!!
I'm sad it is over.
Easy class.Your grade is based on points form all assignments and extra credit, not test scores. I got a c on the 1st and 2nd tests but i did all the assignments and extra credit and ended up with 965 points out of 1000, 96.4% before the final, so i did not have to take the final,i already had an A
He is a great professor. There are a few classes where you Learn and enjoy. This one is it!
he is a great teacher. I really enjoyed this class. He makes things easy to understand and truly wants his students to learn. True Professor- Easy A!
NO class comes easier than this!!
AWESOME! You will have a blast during every class and you will learn! It is an easy class. Do all the assignments, extra credit and online quizzes! Check WebCT daily and sit toward the front of the class- it is the most exciting. He cusses a lot and relates to students- take Brophy!
This class rocked. He makes it so easy it's not even funny. You watch movies and laugh and yet you learn all at the same time. It also opens your eyes to normal things you see everyday. Take this class it's awesome
FOR THE FINAL I WROTE "B" ALL THE WAY AND I GOT A 30%...BEST THING ABOUT IT IS YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO GET 1200 POINTS OUT OF A GRADED 1000 POINTS...im not the brightest kid and i got a 105 for the course..i wish he was my dad.!
Such a fun and interesting class with one of the best professors at UCF!
Great class. Anyone who can take him as a teacher should.
Juggling, cursing, movies..it was like a comedy club, class was awesome. I had enough points by the final for an A so I didn't have to go. Very easy class.
One of the best teachers ever. A lot of busy work, but there is enough extra credit points that you don't have to take the final if you don't want to. The best college class ever. Every freshman taking Psychology should take Dr. Brophy.
One of the best classes ever!!!! you do have to work a little for the tests but lots of other grades as well, that really helps
Really great professor. Makes learning fun.
In a word: COOL. However, if you don't like weird movies, don't take the class. I'm scarred for life from "Identity." Other than that, though, awesome class!
The best teacher I have had yet! Funny, helpful, and if you get a B or lower thats just sad. 1000 point scale, I got a 93 but I don't take the final.
Dr. Brophy is not the best professor like I've heard say about him. Teaches the course at a very low level, 4th graders can probably pass this course with an 'A'. Has a foul mouth, which just shows how unprofessional he is. Seems to be disorganize and the TAs are absolutely NO help (they all have
Very easy A. Serious Psych majors should take another teacher though, because you don't learn much of anything. Lazy, immature students like him because he curses and gives out ridiculous amounts of extra credit.
Really laid back class. Attendance not important, but it's really entertaining to go. The book is pretty easy and the study materials and extra credit make it almost impossible to not get an A.
If you have to take Physio (or just need an elective)this is definately the way to take it. Take him this summer cause I heard he'll retire very soon.
It will be a sad day when this man retires!Funny (chased students after they left class early & brought them back)Unfortunately all he does is show up to lecture- TA's run everything else and are tragic. Posts grades at their convenience- if you have TA Jessica, change your last name!
A lot of busy work but you don't have to do it all. He offers about 1200 points throughout the semester and you only need 900 to get an A. It's an easy class, but I appreciate that because I will never need to know the physiology of the brain and Im able to concentrate on more important things.
Easy, easy, easy. 'Nought Said.
awesome teacher, don't take this class with anyone but brophy, he's the man. offers enough extra credit that you could probably pass if that's all you do. 20 point quiz online due every monday but they're very easy. if you can't get an A in Brophy's class, you honestly need to drop out of college
EASY but a lot of **** work. God if you want to get an A and a funny professor. He is a good guy but remember to keep up with your assignments online when you took him. I had a B because I didn't take the class seriously. If you take him semi-seriously you'll get an A. It on't be handed to you.

OMG, this class is a joke. If you can't get an A in this class, you probably won't get one during your whole college experience. There is so much extra credit available it is not even funny. If you want an A take Brophy. If you want to learn something, take someone else.
This is the easiest class ever. I missed a project and 3 quizzes, then got bad grades on the rest of the quizzes because I didn't look at the book, and I still got a high B. If you try at all, you'll get an A. Brophy is hilarious in lectures, but you don't have to go. Sorry to see him retire. :(
Easiest psy professor. very interesting, it makes you want to go to class. don't need to study much if you want an A take him.
EASY A. Brophy is hilarious. Funniest old dude ive ever met. Gives out so much extra credit that most people don't have to take the last exam. Once ur at 900 points ur allowed to skip the rest of the semester. I ended about 3 weeks early.
One of the most amazing profs at UCF! Easy class if you do the work! Lots of xtra credit AND YOU ACTUALLY LEARN!
Brophys class is fine, a lot of answers are wrong, on quizzes and what not. The TAs are REALLY dumb, they cant spell at all. He makes you do a lot of pointless work, but if you read the books, the class is VERY interesting
If you can't get an A in Brophy's class please consider tech school or a major in Hospitality Management. I learned absolutely nothing; I have nothing positive to say about him. I wish I would have taken a different professor and actually learned the material.
This class is a joke. It is an easy A. Brophy is hilarious but doesn't really teach that much. You have to read the book. Learn how to juggle.
People didn't learn, because they didn't read the book. This class is an easy A. You don't have to take all the tests or quizes and can still get an A. However, if your gonna complain about not learning, read the book. You dont need a professor to hold your hand. The TA's were very helpful.
awesome teacher! Had a way of making everyone WANT to go to class. Highly recommended!!
hes hilarious and has fun assignments
Loved this class. Easy A. Interesting lectures. Don't take this if you're afraid of profanity and name calling. Learn to juggle. Go to class, not because you have to but because it is fun. You might find yourself saying, "did he really just say that?" Brophy is the man. Best class I've ever had.
Veyr fun class. As long as you read the book and study for the test, you should do well
Brophy was by far my favorite teacher at UCF, I graduate in a semester and I'll never forget what he taught me.
He was an amazing professor and was one of the few classes I looked forward to going to. He is halirious and makes learning a boring/hard subject fun. There is a lot of busy work(little projects:juggling,clay brain models,crossowords for the reading etc) but that's his way of having us learn the material. Very laid backed, would def. reccomend him!
Dr. Brophy is AWESOME!! The best of all professors!!!!
Dr. Brophy is an excellent professor. Willing to helps students out and makes going to class enjoyable. Fair teacher who helps students understand material.
This class is super easy! Tons of extra credit. I was done with the class 3 weeks early! Brophy is also hilarious. Although he doesn't teach from the book, so you do have to study for the tests! But if you do the extra credit and the assignments, you'll be done after the second test!
This was one of my easiest classes I have ever had, and what made it better was the guy was funny as hell. I had his class twice a week and he only came once a week. We watched alot of movies that were awesome and had to do with the class (Fight Club). Take this class with him for a esay GenEd. You'll love him. Stop going to class two months ago.
Awesome teacher! By far my favorite! Doesn't teach out of the book, so study for tests, or find a partner and take the group tests with them. Buy the book. Learn to juggle. Do all the EC, and you'll be done super early! DON'T take him if you are easily offended.
Awesome Professor. I took him this Fall 2005, Not only is his class SUPER EASY; it is actually very interesting and you will learn something. He really cares about his students doing well and has A LOT of EC... Super Easy A+++...You will love this guy...
Stupid class, stupid assignments (coloring book, play with clay, juggle). Never lectured, but showed full movies which took up to 2 weeks of class time (2 classes a week). Take this class if you want an easy A. I finished with a 98% A, and skipped over half the classes (no joke) and got a few zeroes.
Dr. Brophy is simply an awesome teacher and his class is incredibly easy (useful if you're only taking it for a GEP requirement) with lots of extra credit and easy assignments. He keeps your interest, as well, with his funny and informative lectures. Highly Reccommended.
So easy! Most of the class was online so you only have to go to class when you need to turn something in. If you do go to class, you mostly watch movies. There are only 3 tests and most people don't have to take the last one because once you hit a 900 points you automatically have an A.
Loved the class. Even though I was done half way through the semester, I still showed up because he teaches not out of the book, but through real life examples. He uses himself and his family/friends to teach you. Showed a lot of movies. Everything is online, so you really only need to go to class to turn something in. But he makes you want to go.
VERY easy A. Lots of extra credit. Be prepared to juggle. Don't have to go to all the classes. Try VERY HARD to get this class!!!! You'll love it. Helps in boosting your GPA ;-)
Bad class. Even worse textbook. Textbook had so many factual errors... Jung did the iceberg metaphor, not Freud, for example. I don't think it's a coincidence the teacher wrote the textbook, and both the class and textbook are horribly flawed. Awful teacher. The TAs were also idiots.
Dr. Brophy was AWESOME! There is no reason why anyone should get lower then an A.
I took this class online with him. Great class, very easy I got a very high A and once u reach a certain amount of points u can stop doing the work. The only thing that sux is you have to learn how to juggle like u do for all his classes but i couldn't really do it and as long as you try they give u full credit. I would definitely recommend it
Take this class if u want to teach yourself. The tests are on material he never covers in class. He just shows movies. No lecture at all. You have to read a lot to pass tests but they are mostly group tests. Lots of pointless extra credit like juggling and making music cds. So if u want easy A take it. Don't take if u are psych major.
Awesome professor... He is soooo funny, cool, helpful, easy, caring... if you want to have a class free of STRESS take Brophy...
If you can't enjoy this class you don't have a pulse. This is the most hilarious professor ever and the scary part is his wise-cracks and off-color remarks actually help you remember the stuff you're supposed to. Big ups to this guy and you should take his class regardless of your major.
What a waste of time. You will have to teach yourself if you want to learn anything. You will get an A, but dont expect to learn. Yeah "funny man," but his jokes are ****, **** and in very poor taste.
Online course.. Lots of small projects but easy A. Loved the course!
Class is managed by good TA's. Never heard directly from Brophy. 3 exams, 6 quizzes, 4 informal 1-pg papers, 1 simple "color-in-the-brain-parts" exercise, 1 simple "make-a-few-brain-parts-out-of-clay" exercise, & YES, you have to learn to JUGGLE, because it is an example of cause/effect brain growth. Sounds like lots, but it's a fun & EASY CLASS.
Fun and easy. Simple as that.
Def. recommended as an elective or as a gen-ed. Easy class to get an A, but u have to keep a close track on the syllabus! Not recommended for psyc. majors, but for anyone else Brophy's hilarious!
Don't worry so much about the juggling, you don't HAVE to do it. I got an A without it. Super easy class, he is very funny, when he comes to class. :o) His TA's pretty much run it. You watch movies, take notes, and get lots of days off. You'll actually learn some stuff too.
This was very easy online. There are a lot of assignments but they are easy and fun to complete him and his TAs were very helpful and generous. I reccommend this class online, and in the classroom.
AWESOME CLASS! If u need 2 take PSY 2012 u HAVE to Take Brophy. Its my favorite class and Brophy is so funny. If U want 2 have a great time take this class, he shows a lot of movies and tells a lot of jokes and is very random at times. U can earn 100pts just by juggling! and the tests are taken in groups of 3 people. Very hard not 2 get an A.
BEST professor in the whole world!!! his classes are fun, he knows what he is talking about, the projects are easy and you always get the grade if you do it. Shows a lot of good movies and gives a lot of chances for extra credit!!!!
Very interesting professor. Fun class. However, don't take this class if you expect to learn something about psych. I'd recommend his class to anyone who just wants to get this class out of the way for gen ed.
HAHA VERY EASY TEACHER PSYCH MAJORS DONT TAKE THIS CLASS YOU WONT LEARN ANYTHING BECAUSE OF ALL THE FUNN THAT YOU WILL HAVE, AWESOME TEACHER I HATE THE FACT THAT MY SEMASTER OF THIS CLASS IS ALREADY OVER
Easy A+ fun class. If you expect to walk way with great knowledge don't take this class but if you want a relaxed easy fun A take this class.
Such an easy class! Just do the assignments and go to class and you might even finish a few weeks early. Shows great movies and is very funny. 100x easier than my highschool AP psych class. Definetley an easy A for everyone!
OMG -- possibly the EASIEST class on campus! Show up for half the classes, take a few online (open book) quizzes, and get an A!! He is hilarious -- it's like watching Chris Rock on standup, uncensored!! Class is so awesome that he makes you WANT to COME LOL!!
Not often can you find an easy A and HiLaRiOuS professor all wrapped up into one class but BROPHY is the man. I went to most classes not b/c i had to but cuz he was so funny! He offers extra credit almost every class and once you reach 900 pts. your done! I didn't have to do the last few assignments or take the last exam! I love this man!
Very good professor. Assignments and exams are all very easy. Take him if you want to get an A.
This was my fourth and final class with Dr. Brophy. He is wonderful. That is the reason I took him for ALL of my required psychology classes. He likes to see us do well. Loads of extra credit, group exams, and easy assignments provide the students with an avenue to have fun, learn, and still get an A.
online: lots of reading to teach yourself, but all reasonable assignments, and mostly due over weekends. He has good TAs, I never communicated with him personally. Grading is very fair, and xtra credits avail. Great class
Dr. Brophy is my hero! This class was awesome, he would have you in tears telling you what seemed like unrelated stories but then come around and relate it to psyche, making class really fun. his class is awesome, made almost change my major from art to psychology... he's thaat good.
Dr. Brophy is an excellent professor! This is the second course I have taken with him. If he offered more courses that I haven't already taken, I would definitely take him again. Take this professor!!! You will learn so much & enjoy every moment!
I skipped his class more than I went to it, didn't do the juggaling assignment because it was stupid (lost 50 points), but he gave me 50 extra credit points for a day I skipped, because people's cell phones went off in class. He is lazier than most of his students.
Dr. Brophy is an incredible professor. You will enjoy every moment of his class and learn more than with most other professors. His sense of humor makes the concepts interesting and makes you want to go to class every day, also helps ease test anxiety. Wonderful professor! Wish there were more like him.
AWESOME!!! (but if you're prude, do not take him - lol)
This online class was easy as could be..I have taken some pretty easy classes at UCF and this one is near the top of the list. Crazy amounts of extra credit. A few quizzes, a few random assignments, and a final, none of which were very difficult. You might not learn too much, but I highly recommend for any class that he might teach.
I took him for research meth. and am now in adv. research meth. and completely and utterly lost. I enjoyed Brophy's class and hes a great guy but DON'T take him if you need to take adv. research! He doesn't prepare you at all! Juggling won't explain correlation coefficients or t tests. Oh he also didn't assign ANY experiments. Beware!
This is a great course. The TA was very helpful, I learned alot. You will need to learn how to juggle, which is interesting to know how the brain changes while doing this. You can get an A easily if you just do the work. Lots of way to get extra credit and once you hit 900 point your done! I am taking 2 more courses with him this semester & next.
BEST TEACHER EVER...you watch movies and learn how to juggle...all tests are group test...and when you go to class you barely ever do work and if you do he makes it fun..make sure you take him
Read the text before taking the online quizzes or you won't do well on them, he doesn't go over much in class but you get to watch memento and fightclub. learn to juggle early! practice with scarves it's easier.
The class is easy and the ta is very helpful. The class needs a lot of reading. Overall, the class is good to take for any psychology major.
I recommend this instructor
Not much to be said about the professor, took this online and you just deal with your assigned TA. Some seem more helpful than others. Pay close attention to assignment deadlines as there's no sympathy if you're even only a second past the due time. Be prepared to learn to juggle! Easy to do well if you turn in all assignments ON TIME.
I'm a hardcore slacker and I have the extra credit exam left, 5 points away from an A right now. You get an A, you're done. There's no excuse to do bad in this class. You get weeks to take one quiz, no time limit. As long as you have decent mathematical skills you can juggle. There are three guidelines for the two short papers you right. Easy A.
Great teacher, very funny, I got an A. Loved the class
I loved the class. Learning to juggle was fun. It was a very kinesthetic class -- don't sign up unless you really want to learn and invest time in the material.
Dr. Brophy's class was informative. I took it over the web and learned a lot. There was virtually no interaction with him but the assignments he created were okay. The only problem was juggling, I think it's stupid. Fortunately, there's enough extra credit available that if you don't do the juggling you're not really hurt at all.
greatest class. best teacher. very funny. most definitely recommend!
This is the best teacher! Easy A if you do the work, you will really learn if you pay attention and read the book! Lots of opportunity for extra credit!! Take Brophy for sure :)
so easy.. definitely don't have to go to class. just watch movies.. his tests are group tests and he leaves the room. his TAs grade everything and you always get full credit for turning assigments in.
Took his online classes at the same time and they were easier than cake! This class could not have been easier. The tests are never timed and once you get enough points you can stop doing assignments! Easiest class ever.
took both of his online classes, and got the highest A's ive ever gotten. dont worry about the juggling dont even bother trying it and buying the supplies i never did it for either class and it really didnt matter. the TAs grade really easily and are super helpful. the classes have a few of the same assignments but that makes it easier!
Online class. All tests were not timed. Could open and close as many times as you wanted. Consists of projects but all were easy and kind of interesting. Good class, easy!! Not too much contact with professor, more with his TA's. Easy A
Ideal professor. If I ever teach, I'm basing my methods off this man. Brilliant personality, made me laugh my head while teaching me more than all my other teachers combined. Best professor I've ever had.
This man is really funny! I enjoyed going to his class just see what kinda mess we were gonna learn from him! But the class itself is a lot fun... and u most def. you learn on your own through test and quizzes! VERY EASY A! Just do all the extra credit and assignments and you'll be done with the class before finals!
with brophy, you will definately get an A..however you may not learn from the class because he gets off tangent and does not dwell on the assignments. everything has an online component that is not timed, and there is so much xtra credit...you will be done early because he uses the point system, which is alot easier. if you want an easy A, take him
Do yourself a favor...take psychology with Brophy. If you take another professor, you have just done yourself a misdeed. Take my advice!!!
easiet class i've ever taken. attendance is not mandatory.. tons of extra credit. tests are group tests.. TAKE HIM!!
If you want an easy A, want to laugh a lot and learn a bit than take him. Hes a really funny, nice guy. That being said you don't really learn that much, if your thinking of entering this field than take someone else, if not this man is for you!
this is my 3 class online with brophy and i loved it,easy A definitely take him
Brophy is hilarious and his class is an easy A...REALLY easy. If you dont get an A, you should probably drop out. You dont really learn anything, but hey if you are not a psych major, who cares?
I do not believe there could possibly be an easier professor at this university. I took him for three online classes and after each one I felt like I just took the easiest class at UCF. I'm starting to find a lot of online psych classes are like this..... Anyway, take any class of his online for an easy A without learning much about psychology.
Took his online class and never spoke to the man myself. For all I know he doesn't exist. His TA's taught the entire course. Tests are easy and about 300 extra credit points to make up.
Online class...thought the class was well thought out. Juggling was fun, but never spoke with the professor, we were assigned a TA and they helped us all out. I almost got an A+, so I would def recommend the class
Easiest teacher I have ever had. Out of 1000 points, I got 1043. So much extra credit. Projects are so easy, and shows a lot of movies. In class quizzes he practically yells out the answers so you don't miss any. Some of the TA's suck, but overall great class. If you don't make an A+ in this class, then something's wrong with you. Highly recommend.
EASY A! He is very clear and helpful. Beware though, he is OFFENSIVE- uses profanity & makes inappropriate comments. Brophy is very entertaining! Great guy, just doesn't act like a professional.
class outlined and designed for you to make a passing grade
took the online course, the TA's are very helpful, fun projects throughout the whole course, easy enough to get an A if you just follow the simple guidelines,I'm taking another class with the professor highly recommended!
Easiest A you'll find at UCF. If you don't get an A in this course, you shouldn't be in college. The class was so easy, in fact, that I am going back over the material and trying to learn on my own AFTER taking the course, because I didnt learn anything in the course (im a psych major.) If you want to learn, take Negy.
Brophy gave everyone in our class an A on the first test. How awesome can a professor be? The rest of the class is a point system. You can get done early if you do the extra credit and the assignments and past the first 2 tests so you don't have to take the final. I GOt an A what can I say.. Juggling is wack..
Took this class online. The assignments are fun and easy to do. you will actually learn material without having to blow your brains out to study for it. I made an A just by doing the work. He grades based on effort. I took him for physiological psychology and basic learning. I would definitely take him again. AMAZING CLASS!
Easy, entertaining class. You will learn if you want to but he doesn't force information through threats of bad grades. He gives us the tools, but not everybody will probably use them.
Ha! Brophy's classs was so much fun. you juggle and complete crossword puzzles for a grade. I dont know know anything about psychology though. :) easy class, but a good experience overall.
very easy class. you get extra points by going and doing the cps quizzes. He's a really nice guy except he really doesn't teach much. wouldn't recommend if you actaully wanted to learn a lot.
Took the class on-line which was graded by TAs. Not too hard but class runs almost a month shy of the semester
He has his own style of teaching that is probably better left to upper level classes. There are a lot of quizzes that are challenging enough to prepare you for the tests, which are good. And usually one simple paper. But then, there is the juggling, and the crossword puzzles and the clay models that is all just stupid filler. Haven't learned much.
he is a complete scatter brain. if you want to learn psychology, i dont recommend this class. want to watch movies, juggle, do clay models, color, laugh at crude jokes and then fail the test because you didnt learn anything? take brophy. oh, but dont worry about failing, he gives like 400 bonus points because i guess he knows he cant teach.
Easiest class i have ever taken! Guaranteed A
Awsome teacher, highly advised. Easy class if you do the few assignments and get together with friends for tests. Lots of chances for extra credit so you could do bad on a test and still get an A. Class is very entertaining, he is a very funny guy. Def. take this class.
Easiest class I ever took in my life. Never ever studied. Two fun projects. Piece of cake! And I hardly went to class. Extra credit every day. Self-explanatory- if you are looking for an easy A, definitely take this class! If you want to fail or work your behind off and still get a B or C, take Negy. My friends that took Negy have to take it over!!
Yea, he's a funny guy, but I didn't learn anything. Very little notes, even less discussion of material, but plenty of laughs if you actually go to class. If you don't get an A you should consider a career in the fast food industry.
Joke! Easiest A ever, but learn absolutely nothing. Gives u weeks to turn things in, or turn in other people's work. Must take! I took Negy and failed, retook it with Brophy and got an easy A. And u never have to go to class.
I took Dr. Brophy for EXP3404 and PSB3002, both online. The class assignments were the same, but you had to approach them from different perspectives. Overall,if you take it online,you don't have contact with him. A TA will be your contact for the entire semester. The quizzes are untimed. The assignments are simple. It should be an easy A for most.
Very fun and easy, but learn nothing. He is very unstructured, so if thats a problem for u then his class will drive u crazy. If u have to take it then its perfect, but if u want to learn then try another teacher.
This professor drove me crazy. He is entirely unorganized, and doesn't really teach, just tells you to write some quotes down. Some of his TA's help...while others seem to be on a power trip. Overall, if you don't feel like learning, he's the teach for you. If you like organization and actually want to learn, find another professor.
At first I thought this class was hard. I din't like the fact that I had to answer to TA and not the professor. I didn't like the juggling assignment. However, the papers and the quizes were not that bad. I did read the chps and learned something. I worked hard for my "A". first when class started u started w/"F" I was not happy. then worked "A"
Brophy is great! If you get offended easily, then watch out cause this guy isnt afraid to tell it how he thinks it! The tests and the juggling paper are a little hard. but if you keep at it, go to class, pay attention, read up on the book, you'll do fine!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER. PLEASE TAKE HIM. EASY A. ADORABLE
Easy A. I've had him twice and always get A's. He is not involved in class or discussion at all. But TA's are very helpfull. I just wish he would interact more with the class.
Took Physiological Psyc wih him online and it was easy. Never meet him but it was still fine, we got TAs that graded our stuff. Assignments were only 2 reflections of a nytimes article and learning to juggle and color the brain. Other than that just take the quizez and you will be fine. I got an A
I took brophy online for phsio psyc and it was really easy. Make sure you read and take the quizzes and you should be fine. You would definately use the book a lot, only a couple of assignments and extra credit opportunity. I have the book let me know and I will give you a deal [email protected]
OK so, class is designed for you to get an A. If you get any lower than that, then you didnt take the class seriously at all. YOU NEED THE TEXTBOOK, obviously since its online and there are no powerpoints. Quizzes are nottimed. Tons of extra credit. Again if you dont get an A, you lack moderate intelligence, hands down sorry.
I took this course online with Dr. Brophy and the class was really easy. You have to learn to juggle (if you practice... you can do it!). Otherwise, you just read the chapters in the book and get quizzed on it. He lets you open and close the quiz however many times you want (print it out and look for the answers!). Very easy A as long as you read!
I took this class online during summer B which was the first time this class was offered during that semester. Many students complained, but I thought it was very easy. You have to learn to juggle. Read the chapters, and take the quizzes. You can open the quizzes however many times you want or print them and then submit it. The final was easy!
took class online. really easy A as long as you do the work. offers a ton of extra credit. learning to juggle suck, but you realy dont have to if you turn it in early (extra credit).
Class was amazingly easy and i loved it! i got an A. Do the work and you'll slide through it, highly recommend taking him!
Brophy instructed my PSY 2002 and PSB 3002 courses. He is the reason I changed my major to Psych. Now, five years later I have my Master's degree and am starting my PhD. Great man, really cares that students enjoy learning! Thanks Dr. B.
Dr. Brophy teaches several psych online courses...I would definitely recommend them if you're cool with taking online classes. Pretty much, you have open book quizzes and a few assignments...juggling, drawings, and clay models. It wasn't easy, but I expected as much from a psych class.
Super Easy Online Class. Quizzes, 1 Paper, 2 Articles, Juggling, Final. That's It.
The best professor I have had yet. I have over a one hundred percent and I didn't even do the juggling assignment. The professor is interested in you really learning, plus his relaxed teaching method and interest in his students makes the class amazing. Take him. Trust me:)
Great class! I took this class online and it was great because you can finish much earlier than the semester is over. Also, uses to point system for grading so when you get to 900 points your done! You do not even have to complete each assignment! Definitely recommend!!
Prof is super easy! If you do goo in teh beginning of teh semester and get 900 points, he guarantees you an A in the class. As soon as you reach the 900 points you don't have to do anything for his class after that! I was finished after our 2nd exam b/c he give sooo much extra credit! i was done like 2 or 3 weeks early!
I took this class online. My book is in great condition. Anyone who wants to buy a book with no writing or highlighting. I will throw in the juggling paper kit for free (16.00 dollar value) Email me at [email protected]
Easy online class!! Kind of confusing as to what the assignments were in the beginning, and the TA's are sort of unorganized, but it was super easy. Consists of exams, a juggling paper (really easy to BS), two article reviews, juggling performance (through video). Easy A, although I really didn't learn anything.... except how to juggle.
I have taken 3 different classes with him, and he is by far the easiest teacher at UCF. Only problem is that you don't learn much. You have to get 900 points to get an A, but he gives you the opportunity to get like 1500. I got 900 in the first few weeks and didn't have to go the second half of the semester. Super easy A!!!!
Great professor. Took for Physiological Psych and it was so easy. Will leave with an A in the class. Do your juggling early! The bonus points will save you. NEED book but not the clay and juggling packets. You can get all those on your own if you want for cheaper. Just keep up and youll do fine.
Easy class. Lots of extra credit opportunities. He gives you the assignments on day one so you can finish them all early if you want. Basically just a simple class with an easy A. (This is for the online section)
You will get an A in this class if you do all of the work, which is not hard. Great teacher who designed the course, the Hat book is very interesting. He makes it so you don't have to do much reading, but you do need to draw, make clay models, and learn to juggle. lol. Great class.
I took it online and I kind of forgot that I was in this class. I can't say I learned anything at all, really. TA's are super helpful. Textbook is a must.. other packets are not. Did zero studying/textbook reading, got to color and make things out of clay. Got an A.
This class is easy, I took it online. The only problem is that I spent 200 dollars on purchasing everything for the class. I still have everything, the juggling balls, clay, all the packets and the textbook. E-mail me at [email protected] if you want it for a much cheaper price!
There are 8 quizzes- 2/week. 25 questions each. Answers straight from text. 1 paper due. You have to learn how to juggle (yes, you read that correct- juggle). 100 question final exam. I thought the class was pretty easy. My only complaint was the redundant useless discussion posts from other students in the class.
It was extremely easy. I never got the book, did it with friends online. The final were the exact same questions as all the quizes. Your going to get an A if you put in minimal effort
What a joke! The professor has 0 interaction with the students, the TAs do what little work is required. If you're looking for an unbelievably easy A in a class where you learn nothing, then this is perfect! Small paper (joke), Book Quizzes (joke), final (save quizzes), and juggling if necessary (wasn't for me)
This is a very easy class i loved the juggling. I have everything both books, clay, and balls for 75 dollars. reach me at [email protected]
Terrible class. Instructor will not answer e-mails or phone calls. Took it online in summer. Sections run by 3 disrespectful ta's who removed postings from boards that criticized their disorganized operation. No respect for 1st amendment rights Should be illegal to do what they did with others opinions. Bull hockey class. Bull hockey ta's.
This class should be labeled "Comedy Central Presents: James Brophy-Ellison" Class is chaotic and disorganized...however, if you want to boost you GPA, enroll. You juggle, play with clay, and draw. Despite the fact that this class is unbelievably simple and a waste of time to attend, it is pretty entertaining. Two of the TA's are hot.
He is awesome!! but honestly don't waste your time taking the mixed-mode class, just take it online. If you go to class, you will enjoy it because he is very interesting & fun but you wont learn anything about the topic. the class is easy A but i dont know how much you'll learn. TA's do pretty much everything. overall he is a really great professor
The class was super fun! Easy going prof. easy assig. questions are exactly from the book. Yes the class is prety easy but i don't understand why he is being critized, i prefer a prof. that gives me the oportunity to do good in a class to one that comes up with test and assig. out the planet!!! I love DR. BROPHY
I love DR. BROPHY. I have taken him twice and still planning to taking again. Straight foward assig. Easy tests. Awesome TA's LOVE HIM!!!! Take him you won't regret it!!
Attendance isn't mandatory but he's so funny that its a nice break from "regular" classes.
Amazing professor. Lectures were hilarious, but had little to do with subject matter. If you go, you'll receive tons of extra credit, and laugh the entire time. If you want to learn, do it yourself by reading the book, and Brophy will answer any questions you have about it in class. An easy 'A' if you do the work. Juggling helps a lot, and it's fun
EASY A!!! I've only attended 4 classes this entire semester and still have an A in the class. Just follow the syllabus and you'll do fine. Textbook is needed to answer quiz/test questions. Took this class during the Fall and finished before Thanksgiving. 900+ points guarantees A in the course; tons of extra credit.
I am selling the textbook (needed for all tests and quizzes) for Physiological Psychology for $50 already in a binder and with all study flashcards included. I live in Orlando but can also come to Melbourne to drop it off to you. Email me at [email protected].
TAKE HIM, Online very easy. Loved this class. Got an A :)I NEED TO SELL MY BOOK, included juggling balls, notes, all packets needed. :) please contact me [email protected]
its hard not to get an A. there is a lot of extra credit available.
Brophy's class is a joke. Not only is he funny, but his course is a joke. I hardly ever went to class since all assignments were turned in online. I had so much extra credit I was 100 points past an A. It's so easy and the only hard point is reading the textbook. I basically only had 3 classes this semester instead of 4.
While the material in this class is somewhat difficult, the teacher makes it easy to gain points needed for a good grade. He asks you to learn to juggle as well as make clay models of parts of the brain and draw them in this class. This was a online class and I enjoyed it. As long as you make a serious effort, you will get a good grade.
Online. A lot of extra credit points available. Assignments are pretty easy. TAs do everything, but they do an ok job. 2nd class w/Brophy, I would take him over an over. Tests are pretty tedious...not hard, but LONG... but there is no time limit so you can print it and work on it over a few days.
This teacher is Awful. Sure he gives a lot of extra credit.. BUT He talks nonsense in the class, he uses vulgar language and sexual comments ALL the time (which have no place in the class) He Gives tests.. THEN talks about the material in class AFTER the test is done... It's ridiculous. I would not recommend this teacher.
My 3erd and final class with Brophy, or should I say, his TA's? Lots of busy work. Practical applications were a little difficult. Do amnesty exams and any other little extra credit offered, it pays off in the end. 900 points and you have an A, just like his other classes. Easy, just time consuming.
Class was easy! Didn't even have to do the juggling and still made an A. I have the textbook and juggling packet without the balls, you can use any kind of balls though. If anyone needs the book I'll sell it to them for $60. I think it's $120 in the bookstore. Email me at [email protected].
I took Dr. Brophy Online over the summer. He gives out 1 quiz a week that doesn't even have a time limit so you can print the test out and work on it in your spare time. We were required to attempt (yes we recieved full credit by just attempting) juggling, mold clay models and color 10 coloring pgs. Overall the class was easy. TAKE HIM
easy class. dont forget deadlines! if you miss deadlines, then you have to struggle in the end. gives extra credit. buy old version of textbook.
easy class. dont forget deadlines. if you miss deadlines, you have to struggle in the end. extra credit. required to learn juggling and video tape it. buy old version textbook.
easy class. buy ebook for research methods from coursesmart. required to learn juggling and video tape it again too. annoying assignments, but manageable exams.
Take this online course. No interaction with Professor. TA's handle everything. They responded quickly to all questions. Tests are open online for a full week. Two article reviews, a clay modeling and a juggling assignment. Tons of extra credit. Easy A. :)
Took his online class. Lots of materials to buy: unbound book($85), clay($18), juggling kit($18). Class is easy. Professor does NOTHING. Tests were easy and open book (open for a full week no time limit). Got an A without the gobs of extra credit he offered.
Dr. B subscribes to the idea that learning is not supposed to be about stressing over grades. He's very knowledgeable about the material. In his class, you have power over your outcome. MOST PEOPLE DO MORE than they have to -because they enjoy it. You can use extra credit to get the grade (if you need to) or to reinforce understanding of material.
EASIEST ONLINE CLASS EVER. EASY A. DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO DO THE JUGGLING ASSIGNMENT BECAUSE I DID THE EXTRA CREDIT INSTEAD. TAKE THIS
Easiest class ever! Open book test! If any of the classes that you are looking for is given by this professor don't even think it, just take it. Extremely easy, if you get anything less than an A just drop out of school!!
So grateful for this class and professor when some of my other classes were stressing me out! This one was a welcome relief, he treats you like you're an adult wanting to learn and not like you're in high school with all the dumb deadlines, and tricky exams.
Dr. Borphy is the the best teacher i and ucf have ever had. he is very helpful u actually can study and get better grade without any stress. I think if u get chance to take him u will be luckiest student.Very helpful, understandable teacher. He knows his student very well try to keep his class stress free. All I can say that just take him.
Do your work; you get an A. Lots of extra credit. Once you hit 900 points you have an A and are done for the semester. TA's are great too.
AWESOME! Dr. Brophy is seriously the best professor I've ever had at UCF. His assignments are very helpful and not too difficult. He gives you a week for each assignment. The tests are somewhat difficult but not over the top. Fun assignments too. Offers extra credit.
Dr. Borphy is the best teacher. I wish I can take all my classes with him. Just do your work u will get an A. no stress...
Amazing professor! He is hilarious in class and always ties everything to life experiences. Not mandatory. Exams straight forward and online. Tons of opportunities to get an A. Need to learn how to juggle but with the extra credit you do not need to. It balances out. Great professor!
Can easily say he is the best professor at UCF! Class wasn't easy nor was it extremely hard. He offers plenty of extra credit opps, so there's not excuse for not getting an 'A'! Juggling isn't a must if you do the extra credit, but I'd recommend doing it as you can get extra credit from it (for learning earlier) and also it's pretty cool to know!
This is a great teacher!Did online. The TAs do almost everything but are extremely helpful. Prompt email responses. Pretty much at your own pace. You can finish the class as soon as you get to the desired grade. Plenty extra credit and juggling was FUN! You must study but you can easily obtain your A!!! Would love to take him for EVERY class!!
Amazing professor, took his class online & recommend it! If you want an A in 5 credit hr class, TAKE HIM! Quizzes every week & use the book. Lots & lots of extra credit opps.No reason not to get an A! TA Michael was great!
Very good guy! Gave so much extra credit! learned how to juggle and unlimited time on quizzes, no tests! Definitely Recommend it! majority people get and an A. This is for general psychology
You get what you put into this course. If you're looking for an easy A, you'll definitely have one. If you're actually interested in learning the subject, you will learn the subject. There is ample assistance and guidance in the course for those who seek it.
This was a great class. I took it over the summer so the class was small. He's an interesting professor and encourages lots of discussion. He also practices what he teaches in terms of building new neuron connections. You will learn to juggle.
Horrible Class and professor! If you want an easy 'A' take this class on line. If you have time to waste and don't care about being insulted, take this in class. His TA's do all the work and he spends the entire time talking about random useless info and insulting students. I would take this in class ONLY if I had to!
Took him for Research Methods. He is a great teacher no doubt about it. He is extremely concerned with his students doing well in his class and will do anything to help you. His teaching style is different than other professors but he does it to keep you interested. He is very out there and calls you out sometimes but does it playfully. Got an A.
I had this course face-to-face. He is a really nice guy. He definitely wants his students to do well and pass with an A. Tests are online and are not timed. We had a few NY Times presentations, which were brief and informal. His idea behind the presentations is to get students comfortable with speaking in front of an audience.
This professor is simply AMAZING! I took him for Research Method this semester and getting ready to take another course with him in the spring. You have to do the work. As long you do the work and do all of the extra credits, you WILL earn your A:-)
Dr. Brophy is one of the best psychology professor's at UCF. Even if you're not a psych major-you should take a class with him. The class itself is not too hard and he is very clear about what you will be tested on. Great class, great professor. This professor inspired me to change my direction in grad school-great great great great professor
Do not take this class with this professor. He has made countless careless mistakes on exams that result in your grade being affected, doesn't teach anything no notes no nothing... you teach yourself, you even have to learn to juggle if you want to get a good grade in this class. Do yourself a favor and don't take his class.
Fairly easy A. A ton of extra credit!! There are exams, unlimited time and there are a mistakes, but he usually awards a curve, never got lower than a B without curve. A lot of materials, but I still recommend! :)
Brophy's by far the BEST professor at UCF. He genuinely cares for his students and goes above & beyond to help them achieve their desired grade. Gives extra credit like there's no tomorrow. If you don't achieve an A, its because you simply did not put forth any effort. He's full of advice and insight and I truly admire him. He's helped me SO much!
Brophy is a really nice guy. He really cares about his students and gives a ton of extra credit. A very easy A; however he doesn't teach at all. Most lectures are him rambling on about one story to the next, often times forgetting how he got there. Get the textbook and you're golden. He almost never talks about the class topic. I found it boring.
Brophy's teaching style is unlike any other. He cares for his students and he makes the class time FUN! Gives ample amounts of extra credit, just to make sure you don't fall behind. He is a marvelous professor and I've taken him twice now, going on three. Wish he taught more courses.
His quizzes aren't timed with the online class. The TA's aren't harsh graders by any means (they are the ones grading your assignments). You have to do neural modelsdrawings and a juggling performance along with the quizzes and two New York Times videos and writing assignment that took me five minutes to do and you're done! Easy course! :)
Easiest online course ever, it's like I was only taking 3 classes this semester. There's about three assignments due every month basically. And the assignments are so easy, along with the chapter quizzes that aren't timed and open book. Got a 100!
This professor really teaches and interacts with his class, provides ample opportunity for learning. By far, the most inspiring, fabulous and upbeat lectures. My very favorite professor and from what I understand, the favorite of most of his students. He does have command of his class because... he's a great teacher.
Prof B is as dedicated as they could come. He had a difficult semester however, and our class took a hit from losing a TA that had a lot of control. That changed how much content we actually took away from the class, but he still made sure that we took away some life lessons. Take time to get to know him, and make a friend!
Dr. Brophy is very dedicated to making sure his students do well. He is very helpful and will go the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied. Many people have commented that it is very hard to get in contact with him, but keep in mind that he also has so many students to keep track of. If it is urgent, make sure to email or call him right away.
Dr. Brophy is a model professor! He cares about his students and their grades. Gives extra credit to help boost your grade and more than enough time to complete your quizzes and tests without feeling test anxiety. The course material was pretty easy! Would definitely take again. I learned to juggle, which was interestingly different :) Great class!
GREAT professor. Online class taken. Thanks Dr. Brophy-Ellison for being such a great professor!
lectures have nothing to do with course material and are extremely long, curses A LOT (when it's not necessary), and does tend to insult students with his comments. quizzes and test are super easy, but there are a lot of them. sniffy cd is a must. would not take again.
Really enjoyable class as long as you don't take yourself too seriously!
Prof Brophy does his best to make sure students learn the material. The important thing is to try your best and participate and he will make sure you pass the class. Textbook is needed. The course consists of several assignments (including speaking in front of the class), short quizzes, exams, and learning how to juggle. Not an easy A need to read
Best teacher I've had so far! Awesome lecturer, makes the class interesting (and I have a great dislike for physiology lol), & definitely interested in finding new ways to teach his students things. Also very considerate! Heard the bookstore was selling his book for $200+ and told the students to not buy it/return it. Would take him for everything!
His class was an easy A, but his lectures were pointless and often unrelated to the class. He tried to use creative tactics to teach us, like making us juggle or make clay models of the brain, however If you actually want to get something out of the class I would not recommend this professor.
Nice guy. gets off topic easily.
Dr. B. is funny, witty, brings more education to class than one could ever hope to receive from a text. Take him for every class he teaches... he is a remarkable lecturer! Cares about his students, knows his topics. There aren't enough words to praise Dr. B. Makes you want to be there, to learn. Wouldn't trade classes with him for anything.
poor teacher. If you want to actually learn something don't take him. Lectures are loooong and he gets off topic. swears a lot and doesnt care about you.
Dr. Brophy isn't your usual professor, and I think this is what makes him special. In class he tells a lot of stories which can sometimes seem off topic, but I learn more from him than professors who just read off Powerpoint. He really does show that he cares about his students, and he's not afraid to kid with them. Don't take yourself so serious.
Dr. Brophy is one of the best professors at UCF. If you have the chance to take him, please do. He genuinely wants you to know the information, but will also care about the things that pop up in life and work with you on missed assignments/extra credit. Seriously, if you have the choice between him and any other professor, always choose Brophy.
This professor is great! I took his class online & felt that it was probably one of the most organized classes but super easy! The material itself is difficult but as long as you read the book you'll do fine. He has ALOT of work due though on the same day, usually a preview quiz, quiz & then some other misc assignments. OVERALL HE WAS GREAT.
Great Professor!
This class was an easy A. Chapter quizzes were super easy, as were the tests (4 of them). You NEED the book in order to do well on the quizzes and exams. Come word for word out of text. Mainly get help from his TA's if you need any. There's a juggling assignment, but it was actually really fun. He offers SO MUCH extra credit.
I thought his online class was very structured and very clear on what was expected. Super easy! Tons of extra credit opportunities that there is no reason you shouldn't pass with an A.
Goes off on irrelevant lectures for most of the class. Uses ableist and discriminatory language. The TA teaches and is unorganized. Grades and assignments are posted and due at random. 5 weeks in and havent learned a thing. I have 3 peges of notes so far. Easy A if you come to class and humor him for 3 hours.
Literally, the best teacher I've ever met/taken (out of all the teachers I've had my whole life. Take him!
Best prof for Research Methods! Classes are smaller for a usual UCF psych class, and participation matters. Material is learned through reading the book, and quizzes are given each class on the chapters. Tends to ramble in lecture, but is interesting to learn and applies research methods to real-life situations. No big research paper.
The worst prof I've had between the 2 schools i've attended. Rambles irrelevantly the whole class. Puts passcodes on assignments you'd otherwise could do at home properly. Gives bonus points, but they hurt you if you dont do them? He and TA's do not answer emails at all. grading scale is very unclear and has you guessing your grade for the semester
The TA will be who you communicate to about everything. You can extend due dates if you need it. You will be required to learn how to juggle and there are a few fun and easy projects. There are quizzes and test (I don't remember how many). He gives extra credit and there are a few papers. Easy class I just didn't put in the work for the juggling.
I hate everything about this class. From the clay models, coloring, speeches, juggling videos. When I say juggling videos - I mean actual videos of you juggling. The class is not difficult; however, I don't consider any of these assignments beneficial to me or my degree.
Dr. Brophy was an incredible Professor who made learning FUN! He curses tp get your attention... and guess what.... it WORKS! People need to lighten up! I credit him with putting me on the path to becoming the successful psychologist that I am today! Thank you Dr. Brophy! You are awesome!
I took him for a 6 week online summer course. I missed a minimum of five assignments which were weighed heavily. Three assignments were 20 points. One was 50 points and one was even for 100 points. I passed with a B. An 80 or an 89 will still give you a B. All quiz answers are found online. No need to purchase the book. You cant fail this class!!!
This class is an easy A, with a professor who is a lot of fun to listen to. His lectures often aren't about the topic, but more his own experiences and musings. The head TA was very nice and lead a few "homework days" for getting stuff done. Dr Brophy cares about your success and wants you to learn what you need to know, not just get another credit
Easiest college "A". Class is very different 3 chapter exams 3 chapters per exam Silly juggling video uploads 5 total with final performance at the end of the semester. Lots of extra credit opportunities that will pad your grade if you do not do the juggling videos. I did 3 total each is worth 10 points final video 50 points. Easy course recommend!
Very nice professor. It's easy to get an A, and he gives literally a ton of extra credit. In class, you don't really learn a lot, but he's not boring at all and actually cares about students. I 10/10 recommend him if you're trying to get a good grade.
This was an EASY A. Dr Brophy gives a lot of assignments, but as long as you keep on top of it, you would do fine. Lots of extra credit to get an A. The course can be a little disorganized, but the TA's are there to help answer any questions.
Dr. Brophy really cares about his students' futures. He spends a lot of time in class talking about ways we can become better students/scientists/people. He is a bit controversial so don't be afraid to voice your opinions-- he relishes in-depth conversation. The TA's are amazing . He's very interactive, so the lectures are never boring.
Great professor. So many opportunities to earn more points. Gave extra credit assignments. Yes the juggling thing is true. Very nice. Enjoyed his class a lot. You will need to read the book for sure.
The semester is not even over yet, but I just had to come tell you all about this actual king. He is so amazing, caring, hilarious, and knowledgable. He truly cares about every single one of his students and although he tends to ramble a lot, I would not have wanted to take this class with anyone else. Group exams & lot's of extra credit. TAKE HIM
Easy class just stupid assignments that became tiring. Theres the juggling, clay modeling/coloring, and an assignment where you write a song or poem about something we learned. Nothing was hard, but the assingments he made cause he thought they were fun just started becoming annoying. Also TA's don't respond on weekends, even hw is assigned then.
This class is amazing! The Professor has an out of the box approach to teaching the information and I enjoyed it so much. One of the best courses I have taken at UCF.
At least for this specific class, don't take him. The whole class is run by TAs that are super picky about grading. There are juggling and coloring assignments. That sounds fun and easy, but not when they are so nitpicky about how it should be done that it negatively affects your grade. Plus these "fun" assignments quickly get really annoying.
The actual professor contributed literally nothing to the course, not even an email. Everything is done by the TAs. Be prepared to fully read the chapter assigned each week as the smallest details will be asked on the quizzes and exams. Other assignments are easy like juggling and coloring, these are nice buffers to your grade.
This class was pretty easy, especially if you read the textbook. The textbook can be found online and doesn't need to be purchased. There are juggling assignments, but don't be intimidated. As long as you show effort in the juggling video, you'll be good. Read the textbook for the tests!! Do all the extra credit!
This class is a joke. Coloring assignments with no answers found in the book. Points off for the smallest mistakes by the TA’s. Basically learned from this class that my GPA for a psych degree hangs in the balance based on my ability to make juggling videos and get my crayons out.
Worst professor and that's sad because his reviews were top notch which is why I took him. He acts like it's the military and we can never email him because of chain of command and he's a deadbeat. Never around, and his class is run by his TAs that must not believe in giving good grades because they nitpick EVERYTHING.Juggling is true unfortunately
I enjoyed this class. The textbook is long but really interesting. The quizzes and exams are easy. I loved the coloring and labeling assignments. The juggling assignments were annoying but you could pass the class without doing them. The TA's run the class and grading can be inconsistent so be sure to know who your TA is. Overall it's an easy A.
There were so many opportunities for bonus points. There were lots of coloring and labeling pages which can get annoying because they take some time but that clears at the second half of the semester.
I absolutely hated this class. I took it because he had such great reviews but I regret it. The class is run by TAs. Things take forever to get graded. Quizzes and tests were a mess because correct answers were always getting marked as incorrect which then had to be manually fixed. Don't even get me started on the juggling. Still got an A though.
The title of this class scared me. It's just like any other psych class where you read the Textbook and take a quiz. Only thing is he expects you to learn how to juggle. As long as you show effort and practice you will get a good grade. This class isn't bad at all. Respectable guy.
Dr. Brophy is amazing! It's clear by how the course is set up that he cares about student success. Responds to emails and gives out his number. Grade based on points, not a percentage. Many assignments (helps grade though). Be ready to label, color, make models, etc. (Not my favorite, but easy & helps you learn material).
You have to juggle for a grade (not participation or ec) and they will dock points for small things. Has FIVE 3D models you have to make and only opens the assignment 2 weeks before they are do. TAs run the class and take FOREVER TO GRADE! If you like knowing your grade to reduce stress THIS CLASS IS NOT FOR YOU! Doesn't teach you anything tbh.
The syllabus describes the coloring & juggling assignments from day one and how the class runs on a point system rather than percentages. The TAs and LTAs were so kind and helpful, and Dr. Brophy's cell is on the home page. Not every professor's teaching style will be for you, but he was one of the most caring and fun professors I've taken. 10/10
This class was easier than I expected. I was a little scare about the juggling assignments but all you have to do is try and you get full points. Be aware this class is run by TA's the professor is a no show. Be ready to do modelings and colorings/labels, that can get annoying and petty but it's easy.
Love Professor Brophy! He is super nice and made the course pretty easy. It is on the Lake Mary campus but he doesn't require you to go to the campus. It is graded on a point system, you have an assignment and quiz on the chapter each week and then either a lab or a writing assignment. Plenty of extra credit to help with your grade as well.
Loved this class so much! Took it over summer B and had coloring assignments, quizzes, and exams. They were all easy. Lots of extra credit was provided so I ended up with a higher score.
Class consisted of coloring and labeling sections of the brain, quizzes, crossword puzzles, exams, projects. The coloring and labeling content was hard to find in text. Quizzes and exams are simple. One project includes making 3d models of brain. Oh and you also have to juggle and record process of learning to juggle. Word load is kind of heavy.
So kind, and the material while it is text heavy, his assignments were easy to understand/easy to do. Get ready to juggle. No literally, you'll learn to juggle in this class. Very fun! Definitely recommend!
Assignments and quizzes are easy as long as you read the textbook. Though the final is optional, the final paper is kind of a lot.
Dislike. Professor was completely uninvolved. The TA's run the entire class. Coloring and juggling assignments were juvenile. Quizzes/exams are open book but timed and specific (things you'll never need to know rather than general concepts). Not sure why he's paid as he does no teaching and doesn't interact with the class. Enough EC to get an A.
I loved this class; there were some hard assignments here and there, but overall, it felt easy to me. I did not purchase the textbook, but most people do. Reminded me of AP Psychology.
Pretty easy class but had tedious assignments like juggling or coloring. Class was online so there wasn't much interaction with the professor you just talk to TAs. The tests aren't too hard and the textbook really helps.
The TA were nice and gave feedback if they took points off. The class is very straightforward and if you do the work you will pass. The only thing I didn't do was the juggling video assignments. There are also opportunities for extra credit. The color & label assignments were easy but CHECK spelling. Quizzes and Materia assignments were easy too.
An easy class with some quirky assignments like juggling and coloring. The TAs are helpful, and the textbook is useful. Unstuckstudy AI made studying a breeze. Definitely recommend for an A!
In the class, there are juggling progress videos you do to show that you are trying to learn juggling (he has a page on why he has you juggling). You are also coloring pages and labeling them with the chapter of the week. There are reading materials provided in the course as well as the textbook that you have to get for him.
Be ready to color and label the coloring pages. The project was using coloring pages. One peer review will also be done. Extra credit will be available. Depending on your TA will depend on when your grading gets done.
Dr.Brophy is very compliant with this complex subject. The homework was simple but time-consuming. Take good notes to study for the quizzes and exams. If you stumble, there are lots of bonus assignments to boost grades. This class heavily relies on TAs, so your grade will depend on their flexibility. Overall, I would retake him.
Great professor! I was worried about it being a difficult class because of the subject, but he makes the class fun and simple. A lot of coloring/labeling assignments and you even do some juggling! If you need this class I highly suggest taking it with him!
Not a bad professor, but the TAs basically run the class. They are also overly tough graders, so get ready to get frustrated..
I took this class last semester at UCF when I was soooo ready to be done. The content is straightforward, but there are quite a few assignments each week. You will have to print and color brain diagrams, which makes you feel like a kindergartener; make sure you have colored pencils or crayons. Overall, easy A if you actually do everything.
I took it in person and I recommend it. Very laid back, funny, and chill professor. Goes off on tangents all the time, but class was usually interesting because of it. Assignments weren't overwhelming. You can take exams with a buddy so that's helpful if you get hung up on a question. Gave us all a bunch of extra credit just for attending :)
