He is the funniest teacher I have ever had. He makes stuff really interesting and shows everyone he cares by learning their names. He tells us stuff that isn't in the book and adds details and will say "Don't write this down, just listen." It makes me feel good to know that he wants to teach us, not just do his job and make us pass the course.

By far one of the hardest professors I have ever taken in my entire life. He expects almost perfect knowledge of the text and lectures, and while he strongly urges people to push through and excel. He leaves many people in tears. He is quite frivolous with words and expects a mature audience, so do not be prepared for enjoyment.

If anybody says anything bad about Dr. Hensley, it's only because he told them to (sorry Doug). His class was extremely fun. His lectures are entertaining, and he uses everyday examples to relate the info and help you remember it. Tests weren't easy, but if you do the extra credit and the group project you should be fine.

He is the funniest teacher I have EVER had. He is a very good teacher. He has some crazy experiments in class, which are funny too. He gives you chances to make higher grades on your test too by writing a 700 paper. You can write up to 3 papers. Easy to bring your grade up if you're making a bad grade.

Just as these other comments are saying: this guy is FUNNY. I liked this class more because I was laughing the whole time, and since he uses jokes for the class material, it's easier to remember for tests. I only used the book a little bit before tests to look at the questions at the end of the chapter (sometimes he uses em on tests). Take him.

This professor is awesome if you want an easy A. I would recommend reading the book though. You cannot make it by taking notes alone and he will tell you that himself.

Would not recommend taking, esp with the addition of essay questions and quizzes. Hensley has almost no knowledge of what he is teaching. He reads off of his typo-ridden PowerPoints while misspeaking and offering only confusion. If you want to do well, don't go to class and only read the book. Or just don't take this class.

Dr. Hensley is literally my favorite professor on campus. I enjoyed his class so much that I decided to get a Psychology minor. He is very funny and his class is actually one you will want to go to. I recommend any student who needs a filler class to take this class. He's literally the GOAT!

I do not like the vibes of this man. He likes to go off on tangents of nonsense. With his tests, they are the only grades you receive other than extra credit. A lot of the questions on the test covered content that was never even mentioned in class. He likes to pick on girls he finds attractive which is uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend him. 2/5.

I love Doug. His class was fairly simple. Just show up and scribble down anything he says. He only had a few exams, 4. That's the only work he gave. He also sends out emails that you can fill out for extra credit and when he takes attendance he uses it for extra credit.

I loved his lectures and his sense of humor, as it made Psychology much more interesting! The only downside to his class is that your grades are entirely based on Exams (we had four). However, he does send out surveys for extra credit and takes attendance as extra credit as well. Even if psych isn't your thing, he makes the class worth it. 10/10.

This class, along with his others I've taken, have been very enjoyable. I will say that your only grades come from 4 multiple choice exams, but he leaves them open for an entire weekend and then gives bonus credit at the end of the semester. I would recommend for anyone looking to take intro to psych or lifespan development psychology.

I took this class Fall 2020 online during COVID. He's a good teacher and the class was easy, but he graded me as if I was in the wrong section. The system would put me in for one exam day and he'd give me a 0 for missing a different exam day I wasn't assigned to. He never responded to fix this. I don't think he was too good at the online system.

There is extra credit but the only grades you get are tests. The tests are taken online and are pretty easy even if you do not study. It is lecture-heavy and super boring...he talks about sexual things a lot!!! But overall he is somewhat funny.

All hail Doug. The best professor I will probably ever have. As a psych major, he is AMAZING and definitely is passionate about his field... literally EVERYTHING is online. You don't even necessarily need to show up for class, but make sure somebody sends you that attendance code because he fails you if you 'miss' like 3 classes, I think. SO EASY!

Doug was by far one of my favorite professors this semester! It is a lecture heavy class, once a week for 3 hours, but he does make it entertaining and fun and tries to keep us engaged. There are only 4 tests throughout the semester and it is over the weekends and open note! Overall I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!!

I love Doug and his lectures. My only issue is that his course material tended to be heavy, making his exams heavy. I found his exams challenging to study for, but if you paid the slightest bit of attention, you would at least make a 75% on them. His lectures were funny and worthwhile. Having no homework and a lot of extra credit was nice, too.

A great professor, attendance is required. I had him for the 3-hour lecture, which is a lot. However, if you email him before the class and tell him why you won't be there, he will excuse it. Tests were online and open through the weekends. Overall, interesting and pass-worthy class.

Compared to psy 1030, this class was a complete let down. Doug is very lecture heavy, but his tests don't reflect the material we went over in class. His lectures are sometimes hard to follow because of his tendency to get distracted and off-topic. There are only 3 tests, which make up your entire grade (+ up to 10 points of extra credit).

Like every other comment says, Doug is really cool. I was kinda lost on the midterm and final cause some of the stuff felt like detail stuff that he doesn't say but in fairness he did say to read the textbook and I definitely didn't. Don't buy the textbook, its free from him and he never really takes attendance.
