Dr. Conway is the nicest guy! He is very clear and understanding. He sends out voluntary e-mails if you miss class to see how you are and if u need help with anything. He gives out practice exams that are almost exactly the same as the exams themselves
Cool guy. Explains in an understandable way. Took and FYE section and he told you everything you needed to know about school.
A good professor for first year students. The workload isn't to tough, and exams are easy to prepare for. This guy only want to help you do well. He'll be a guy that you still talk to after you've been in his class.
He is an awesome professor. He is the reason I switched majors and becam a psych major. I would definately reccomend taking any of his classes!!
He was a great prof. He went out of his way to get me through the class when I was activated for the army. I definitely would recommed him to anyone.
The best professor I have had in 3 years at Central. Very organized, very helpful and personal. He has a way of presenting material that makes you want to go to class every day.
Cool guy. Helps you if you need it. Very easy course just do your work
Prof. Conway was a GREAT professor. It wasn't a terribly easy class...but the way he presented the info made it fun and interesting. He's the reason i switched my major to psych..and I'll be looking for him for future psych classes. Very nice, awesome guy all around.!
Very Helpful, funny, SMART. Makes you think but doesn't require anything that is not possible to do. Will give you all the help you need. Still remembers my name after a long time.Always stops to talk to you and is interested in how you're doing over all.
Awesome teacher!!! Best at Central! easy class don't use book, doesn't take attendence, such a nice guy and very helpful!!
best teacher i had all year. very easy grader. you dont even need to have a book he goes over everything in class. explains everything in detail and makes sure everyone gets it before moving on. very easy A
Awesome guy, awesome class! He is very easy to understand and gives practice tests before hand. There are a lot of small assignments which are rather easy. No attendance policy. If you go to his class, you will be vary happy with the outcome! DR. CONWAY rocks!
I love this guy! Really interesting stuff, he is a dork and has corny humor but he makes the class interesting. Explains stuff well, AND NO TEXT BOOK TO BUY!!!! thats 100 dollars that you dont have to spend! Fair grader easy tests, good to talk to. I reccomend him highly
conway is hands down the best professor for psychology
Nicest professor I ever had at Central. Smart, easy going guy. Class was easy if you do what he tells you and it's not too difficult.
Very good professor. Always there for extra help. Easy, fair tests, and a fair amount of time for outside work as well.
He's got the personality of a pediatrican. He is very nice and understanding of the students. He knew everyone's name by the second class and said hello to me (by name) when he saw me just walking outside of class. He'll help you all he can and you can tell he likes his subject.
Oozes coolness, I've taken him twice now and hes the best teacher I've ever had, grades fairly, and always puts students interests first.
greatest teacher EVER
really great teacher made the course work very easy and his tests were great
i love him one of my favorite professors here
awesome teacher..likes athletes and favors girls..loved him
He's such a nice guy, and grades fairly. I didn't really pay attention in class, and I still got a decent grade. You don't need the book, so don't buy it. He doesn't give a heavy work load, and tells you everything that's on his tests. Take him!
He's a great guy and a good teacher. He may not be the most flashy teacher but he's humorous and does his best to make sure everyone does well in the class.
tests are from notes on board, very nice guy, fun class
He's a nice guy who really wants his students to be successful. His exams are fromt the notes and readings. The class is interesting and he's a good teacher. He gives a fair amount of assignments which if you put a little effort in you get an A on them and they really help your grade. Take him...he's great.
The best teacher you will ever have at central! Very smart, clear, fair tests. Do the work guaranteed A!
TAKE HIS CLASS! Absolutely the best psych teacher at Central and havent had any better at any other schools. Definately the nicest, grades above fairly, knows your name after telling him once, and chats with you when you run into him outside of class. Would love him to be my Dad
Professor Conway is easily my favorite professor I have had so far. He is a very caring guy and does everything he can to help you do well. He genuinely cares about all of his students and makes lecture interesting. His tests are pretty easy too as long as you take notes. Hope I can take a class with him soon.
MY FAVORITE TEACHER AT CCSU. LOOOOVED HIM
If you put the effort in you will do good in the class. He really cares about all of his students. Extra credit available which always helps. Do not buy the book, i did just in case but you do not need it. Anything that he puts on his tests is from his lectures or reading assignments. good class overall
Grestest teacher I ever had at any school! I was never interested in psychology but that has changed after having him as a teacher. Very very very nice, cares about you and knows your name after the first class. Recommend eveybody to take a course with him.
Hands down the best professor at CCSU. I have to agree with what everybody else said, he is so caring and helpful towards his students. He knows every student's name and always greets them with a smile, love him! Definitely take him!!
LOVED THIS CLASS!! And LOVED Prof. Conway. He's an awsome teacher and a really really nice guy. The class is well organized, if you take notes and do the readings you'll do well in the class.
LOVED this class. Prof. is very helpful. He knows all his students by name and genuinely cares about their opinion. Uses a variety of teaching methods and makes class interesting. Readily shares relevant personal anecdotes. Textbook is not needed and is never used.
wow this guy is a joke not only does he preach his beliefs but its totally transparent if you dont want to learn anything but what he believes hes your guy but if you like psych dont take his class
Professor Conway is the man. He made psych. really fun and I enjoyed all of his class. He also helps out students with upcoming events and everything. Definitely one of my favorite teachers of all time.
BEST TEACHER!! You don't need the book, tests are on his lecture. There's extra credit, no attendance policy. Overall, VERY good class.
Psy of community service- great class.. Conway is a genuinely good guy. One of the few classes that actually puts you out in the real world dealing with real situations.
yo this professor is cool. he dont judge you and he really tries to help you get a good grade cuz he cares. on some realness i wish he was my DAD! he is one of my favorite all time professors into my 3 years of college. He should run the psychology dept. he is the MAN!!! dont believe all the negative comments, they mad cuz they aint even try.
I LOVEEE Mr. Conway. He is by far my most favorite teacher here at CCSU. He is a really nice guy that actually cares about his students and wants them to do well. online homework assignments just read the article and comment. gives exam questions ahead of time, 8 questions blue book. 15 hours comm service was a breeze and tons of fun. take him!! =)
he is the best professor i've ever had. he has his PhD in organizational and environmental psychology. for intro to psych he makes it interesting, he is clever, laid back, understanding. i would highly recommend him to anyone
Prof:Conway is great teacher he really cares about his students and wants to see everybody pass, there is a lot of notes in the class but if you write them down you will pass. he does not use the book.
perfect. brilliant. take him if you can.
Best teacher iv had here so far. This guy is really helpful. His tests are and his research paper are hard. The tests will be easy if you study though. He puts everything on the tests online so you can see all the notes even if you missed. Overall great teacher!
no comment
Really nice Professor, and willing to help! Is very prompt about grading tests and other assignments. Very knowledgeable about psychology. The powerpoints were simple, and easy to understand.
So far I love this professor , he's very helpful and gives lots of second chances . We don't use a book so don't even buy it . He's entertaining and keeps the slides simple with many examples. I would suggest taking him ! If u try you will pass
Very nice guy, willing to help out his students if asked. The research paper was difficult, and tedious. If you study, the three multiple choice exams are not too hard. I would recommend him. Take Prof. Conway if you can!
This professor was very organized and very clear about all assignments. He was very helpful if you had any questions. During this semester I had health issues and he helped me so much when I missed class. Excellent professor! Would def take him again!
He is very clear with what he wants you to learn. His powerpoints are very helpful and he grades things very fairly. He also makes class very enjoyable and makes time to see his students outside of class. Plus no book was required!
really cool guy as long as you pay attention in class and read over the power points the tests are pretty simple. Likes to interact in class so ask questions and they will be discussed and answered clearly. Overall an awesome professor
Professor Conway is one of the greatest teachers! He is perfectly clear in his lectures and powerpoints. As long as you pay attention, you will defiantly pass. 3 exams and one debate project and a couple readings that he posts on BB. He is always available for extra help if you need it. TAKE PROF. CONWAY! I don't think it gets better than him:)
Great professor! Very nice, keeps lectures interesting, available for help, always a very clear outline of what to expect in class that dayweek.
Best teacher around. Clear and very easy grade if you go to class and pay attention.
He's a really good guy, and a great professor! He's so clear about all your assignments and what you need to do. I had him for PSY112 and FYE, and he's awesome in both. Doesn't use a textbook, and puts everything on blackboard. Easy A as long as you mostly go to class.
Really nice guy who is passionate about what he does. Always there to help and very understanding.
Conway was a good psych professor. He's pretty awkward and his lectures just draaaag on. It is very easy to pass this class and attendance isn't mandatory but i would go. 3 tests (non cummulative) and a research paper and sonas. pretty good GPA booster :)
James Conway is one of the best professors Ive had. Lectures consist of going over slides of information. A few reading assignments are given for homework. There are 4 tests(multiple choice)which may be challenging if you dont go over the slides. He knows the subject very well and is open minded. Hes just a really chill guy. Lectures may be boring.
Prof Conway is a really nice professor. His class is really easy, and so are the tests. He doesn't assign a textbook instead posts any reading assignments online. He e easy homework about every other week. His exams are really easy as long as you go over the study guide and do the pre-test he puts online. He's really understanding and gives help
Super helpful, very understanding, and very personable. Gives study guides and reviews for all tests, all tests are multiple choice, if you study the review you will be fine. Very kind and sweet, very clear during lectures, can be boring but he does show some videos and do some activities that get the students attention back. Would take again!!!!
Gives a lot of help if you need it, take advantage of that. should pass the class easily.
There is no book and he puts the power points online. He gives review sheets and puts a review test online that has some of the questions that are on the test. You need to know about the articles that are assigned.
He was overall a good professors. Classes could get boring because he always taught off a powerpoint but he tries to include videos, etc. to change things up. There are 4 writing assignments and 3 exams. Required to do 6 SONA studies and the others count as extra credit. Not a challenging class if you pay attention and read the studies.
Professor Conway has been my favorite professor this semester! Really nice guy. He teaches in a way that is really easy to learn and remember things. Straightforward assignments. Even if you're not really into Psychology, this class is really enjoyable.
Conway is an amazing teacher! It is easy to tell from one of his lectures that he is very knowledgeable in the field of psychology, and also enjoys the subject. There is one research paper, but it is not too long and it is on a topic that you choose, and you also get class time to work on it.
Take him! He's very sweet and is always willing to help
Conway is very good at making what seems like dry content pretty in interesting. He tries to incorporate videos for clarity and will drop anything to help a student who is struggling. He is very considerate in that he asks questions to the class but respects them enough not to expect a response form everyone and wouldn't call on them. Great guy!
Professor assigns a considerable amount of work. Easy assignments but a very hard grader. Very very nice guy. His lectures are extremely boring after like the first month because they are extremely repetitive. Lectures can come off as patronizing because it is common sense that he tries very hard to emphasize.
Professor Conway is the only teacher that I had freshman year that I liked through and through. He tries his best to make everything he does interesting, shows videos, does group work, and overall is just a kind and approachable guy. If you do the work, you will get the grade. No questions asked.
Great professor. Thoroughly explains content and gives great lectures. You can truly tell he cares about his students learning and how they do. All the test content is in the powerpoints, just study the powerpoints and readings and you should be fine! 10/10 awesome professor!
15 hrs of community service is required for the course, doesn't seem like much but takes up time if you're really busy. Lots of short readings and responses on BB. Super repetitive 'reflective' assignments. It's a fine easy class. He counts attendance in the grading. Prof. Conway is super nice. I wouldn't take this class again but I'm not mad I did
Not a fan, his test were nothing like his review and he can be confusing while explaining things. The 1 essay we had to do was just ridiculously explained and left a lot of room for confusion. Boring class, nothing to make it interesting, each lecture feels like 3 hours.
Prof Conway is a very good guy. He cares about his students and wants the best for them. His class is based on 4 exams, one paper, assignments and Sona credits, which count as extra credit if you do more than the requirement. You have to study for the exams but he gives study guides and provides guiding questions, some of which are on the exam too.
Very good man. One of the kindest people I have met. Be prepared to do some reading, but he posts everything online, saving you 100s of dollars from buying a textbook. I've taken 2 of his classes and he is a very wisdomful man. Very humble. His class changed my life!
Great professor, I only put difficulty level of 3 because you do have to study and read the material to understand it but he does a great job of explaining everything, very kind and caring professor.
He is a great professor and you do not get a lot of work at all. You can earn extra credit for the end of the semester during the Sona research. Cares about his students and explains everything very clearly. Always there to answer any questions you may have
I don't understand why there are negative reviews about him. If you want a professor who understands and wants you to learn and do well, then take his class. He never makes you feel ashamed for asking questions and is always available outside of class. The material can be hard to understand, but this is because it's just a challenging topic.
Professor Conway is a enthusiastic teacher, as he is knowledgeable on Psychology. Most of the info can be obtained from his slides. His class isn't difficult, everything is open notes, including exams! Just do the Connect quizzes, assignments, and also the extra credit! There are surveys called Sona where you can get up to 15 extra credit points!
Dr. Conway is one of the best professors I have ever had. His lectures are educational and he is very passionate about the material he teaches. Assignments are interesting and he gives good feedback. He is also very flexible, I had a stomach bug one day when I had an exam and he let me make it up, which many professors wouldn't. Great educator!
I really appreciated professor Conway's class. I had him for my freshman specific class and he was super caring and really helped mentor students and made sure everyone had an opportunity to succeed. His lectures were very in-depth and I learned a lot of interesting new facts about different concepts.
Dr. Conway is fantastic. Lectures are great, he's very knowledgeable, and he is always willing to meet with students for whatever they need. Has you turn in drafts for your research proposal that he gives thorough feedback on, making it almost impossible to do bad. He's very sweet and makes a three hour class bearable
Professor Conway did a great job teaching introductory psychology. He is clearly proficient in the material, extremely organized, straightforward, and provides reminders about upcoming assignments and exams. He also allows one-sided cheat sheets on exams which was super helpful. Wish he could teach some of my other intro courses!
He is a great guy. This class isn't mandatory attendance but majority of questions on exams are based on class lectures. He knows intro to psych like the back of his hands. The grade in this class is based off exams so I would highly recommend going to class. The topics at times were difficult to understand, but overall he is a great professor.
