Professor Indelicato is great,in and out of class. If you need help outside of class,always makes himself available, in class he is great as well, he is always energetic and passionate, also always gets my neurons firing. He does a great job with explaining things and making sure we got it, also lectures are intuitive and enjoyable. Lucky to have!
Prof is an amazing teacher. Gives opportunities for extra credit, and is super laid back. Definitely recommend.
I loved Prof James! I'm taking his class next semester too! He is an amazing professor who truly cares about his students. He is so passionate about psychology and that makes his class easy to follow and enjoyable. Take his class!!! He puts the effort into getting to know his students and tries to bond with everyone.
Probably my favorite professor this semester. If I could take him again I would. He is very personable and funny and doesn't give a lot of work. Whenever he does, it's super easy. All the quizzes are super easy just pay attention in class. He's a great teacher and always makes his lectures fun.
Just awesome all around.
Definitely my favorite class. Taking his class again next semester just because he is teaching it. Hardest part of class is showing up, just pay attention and you will be set up to pass.
Awesome, Inspirational, and funny professor. Show up to class and listen up and you'll pass this class. "The easiest part of any job is showing up."
He's an awesome professor. This is my first time taking a Psychology class and I learned a lot. Many of the things I learned I will remember for the rest of my life. As he likes to say, "They can take away your money, car, or home, but they can't take away your education."
Professor Indelicato is an amazing professor. Definitely would recommend taking one of his classes. Extremely interactive and all around great lectures.
I would totally take this professor again.
At first I wasn't sure what to think, but towards the end of the semester I didn't want the class to end. A great professor who is not only extremely knowledgeable but extremely caring. Really opened my eyes to the areas of the psych field, would absolutely recommend and take again.
Prof James(as he would prefer you to call him) is by far my favorite Professor/Teacher I have had yet. You will not be bored learning the content. My one piece of advice would be to attend class as much as possible. You will likely still pass but only hurt yourself. If you are a Psych Major like myself this Prof is a MUST. Highly recommend.
If it wasn't for my major, I would be taking all of his classes! It was a class I actually looked foward going to and it wasn't stressful. There were interesting, not boring, lectures everyday.
Where to begin.. hands down the best prof I have ever had. He is a very charismatic teacher and an overall great person. I'm not one to enjoy school (or show up) but when I did I always looked forward to this class. He makes learning fun??!! crazy I know. I truly did learn a lot from prof James and I 100% recommend taking him! :)
Professor was very funny and had a lot of knowledge to pass down. Awesome class.
Fantastic professor. Very engaging and very fun class. He cares about his students and tests and quizzes are easy as long as you take notes. attendance does not sway your grade, however you wanna show up its worth it! Taking his child psychology class again this semester, super excited!
This was my first college course, I had general psychology and he made me feel very comfortable. He made me want to wake up and show up. If you are looking for a class that you will actually enjoy even if school isn't your favorite thing, he is your professor. It's impossible to have a Problem with him or how he runs his class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Prof James is the best teacher I've had. His class goes by fast, easy to remember the lectures because he is entertaining, interesting, and fun. He is not one to think teacher knows best, he will work with you on most things, very understanding and human. After this class I realized psych was what I was most interested in. HIGHLY recommend him!!!!
I would 100% take Prof James again. Assignments are all very easy and take minimal time. As long as you show up to class and take notes, it is an EASY A. He is strict with the phone policy, because he wants to be respected. Lectures are fun and funny..... he LOVES his dad jokes. Keeps class very interesting and upbeat. Definitely would recommend!!
Professor James is fair and as long as you show up and hand things in on time your sure to get a high grade in the class. He also makes class way better with his stories and asking others to tell theirs. Amazing professor would 100% recommend taking his class!!
this prof is awesome!! i'm a psych major and i'm going to pick him for every psych class he teaches that i take. most fun class i took all semester,he's light hearted and makes jokes, and makes psychology fun even probably for people who might not even typically be interested in it. pick him! one thing is he likes people showing up, so you should
So, I noticed that basically everyone would take him again and they recommend him but I DO NOT feel the same way. I honestly thought I was going to learn more than I did which sucks because this is a class that is going to be applied to my everyday work as a high school teacher. He also made some questionable comments that made me feel blah.
Took him because he had a five-star review and regret it. A lot of people shared their experiences with mental illness, only to be told by Prof James that they're self-diagnosing. He's extremely insensitive. He mentioned patients he had by name and read personal letters they wrote. Overall a very uncomfortable experience.
I took prof James about a year ago and I learned so much from him. He makes learning fun again by using real life examples and by really breaking down what we need to learn in so many different ways. He is very clear about what he expects from his students, but most importantly he cares for his students and is a great teacher!
Prof. James is a super kind and caring teacher! He wants all his students to pass and will go out of the way to help them do so. He is very knowledgeable about what he is teaching. He shares his own experiences which makes it easier to understand concepts in real life situations. Super easy going amazing professor.
Prof Indelicato gives great lectures. He makes psychology fun to learn. He always provided feedback. he wants you to succeed. I really enjoyed the class.
was amazing
Great Professor. He has some good dad jokes too.
Amazing professor! Made 8am lectures very entertaining. Highly suggest taking him.
I would not recommend this teacher. He would attempt to make "jokes" as well as unnecessary commentary regarding marginalized people, which really took away from class time and material. The teacher was unresponsive to criticism of these "jokes" and comments. Overall, had a negative experience with the teacher's personality and irrelevant remarks.
Would 100% recommend Prof. Indelicato, great teacher and easy to understand. I could not tell you a thing i learned but i enjoyed the class. He is a very interesting guy, if you need to take a psych class you should definitely take him.
He's really nice and doesn't give much homework. All the test that were taken were open book & easy.
I absolutely loved him as a professor! He gives interesting lectures with life examples to truly help you understand psych. He's understanding (if you have a reason to miss an assignment) and wants you to succeed as a student. He sparked my interest in psych and I'm going to take his other classes!
Hands down, best professor I've had since starting college! Prof.James is super caring and will work with you if you miss any assignments or if you are not passing the class. The class is fool proof and Prof.James will make sure you pass his class.
By far one of the best professors I've ever had. He does tend to get a little sidetracked with his stories and jokes, but they're always relevant to the topic or lessons. He is very fair with assignments which are very easy and gives simple extra credit opportunities. He made an early morning class fun! Would recommend 100% taking any class of his.
Professor James is such a good professor I loved his lectures and his jokes were so funny. He is very caring and wants his students to succeed in any way. If you don`t do well on an exam speak to him privately and he lets you retake it. If you need to take a psyc class make sure you take it with him!
I loved his class and I loved how he taught. He made learning fun. He was extremely understanding and nice.
Indelicato has a great deal of experience in the psych field and always has at least one story to tell for every lesson. His classes are engaging, effective, and the grading is very fair. His tests can be a little confusing at times and he can get off topic easily, but his class was easily my favorite so far at OCC. A pretty easy A and very fun.
Great professor. He is very inspiring and definitely made class enjoyable. Definitely take him
Professor Indelicato is amazing! He's very accessible outside of class as long as you communicate with him! Prof James made psychology a relatively easy class. Of course you still have to study & put the effort in, but he will relate his lectures to personal experiences which makes it easy to learn! He is super funny! TAKE HIM! You won't regret it!
He's a great guy, I will say his tests can be pretty hard but that's just because he expects you to put in the effort in all his assignments. Studying really matters, but there's rarely homework, and makes some jokes, so all in all really great professor
Amazing professor, would definitely recommend! He is hilarious, caring, and an easy instructor. All tests were take-home or open book which was nice, and his lectures are entertaining since he relates the material to real world instances. Taking him again next semester, he was phenomenal! No coursework, easy tests, and an easy grade to maintain.
Professor Indelicato is an amazing guy. The class was small so it was a very intimate setting where we could have genuine conversations, he helped me understand the material by going in depth and relating it to real life.
Prof James is awesome, I left his class with an understanding of the subject and inspired to make psych my major. The tests will be difficult for you If you don't study or skim the book. The PowerPoint are helpful but do not rely on them as your only test study guide. Assignments are fairly easy and fun. Hope to take another class soon.
He's funny, does not give too much homework. The lectures are interesting. Make sure to take notes and study because tests are important to your grade.
I think he's a great professor whose upbeat and funny. But be aware he goes over sensitive topics in his class and tends to talk about a lot of politics. His tests are tough unless you make sure to study and listen to his classes. Also attendance is mandatory and perfect attendance means extra credit.
Easily the best professor at OCC. He's hilarious, doesn't give assignments, and connects his topics to real world instances that make it easier for us to remember. Took him last semester, this semester, and am even taking him again in the Spring. Such a stress free class. Just show up, pay attention, and you'll pass with flying colors.
The professor made many "jokes" which were far from funny and did not relate to the source material. He would also not complete chapter lectures or provide to material to help us study for the tests. He also made comments sharing his "traditional values" fairly often and left my classmates as well as myself very discomforted.
Definitely my favorite class of this semester! Prof. James explains the material clearly and gives you access to powerpoints and note sheets. Definitely use the textbook to study too. Beware: he does let you know his personal opinion on sensitive topics, and I would suggest not taking him if you are somewhat emotional on certain topics.
Amazing professor. Has so much experience in the field and has so much insight. I loved his class although he does go off topic a lot but you will never be bored
Taking abnormal psych with Indelicato was an amazing experience. He is passionate about the field and is super involved and knowledgeable. He has worked in pretty much every setting that involves psych and shares his experiences. The class mainly consists of lectures but is more of a group therapy session. Would definitely recommend and take again!
Great teacher
Prof. James is an amazing professor who makes class fun and interactive. 4 tests 50 questions each, as long as you study both your notes and the textbook you will pass. Lectures were interesting and he gives many opportunities for extra points. Syllabus is clearly laid out and followed throughout. You will not regret taking his course!
Prof James is a character. Cool, unhinged professor. Lecture heavy, tests are worth 70% and open book but can retake if you fail. Very experienced and makes class interesting. He's an experience you won't want to miss. Don't take if you are sensitive or easily offended. Took him twice and I loved every second.
I currently am taking (I will write another review at the end of the semester) but he's definitely cool and funny to his dad jokes every day (just gives me feels of my dad for an hour and 15 every Monday and Wednesday) you have to get his dad jokes yes he may repeat them but that's okay he just wants you to laugh at them. He's class is lot of fun
Professor James is my all time favorite professor I have ever taken at OCC.He is hands down the funniest and most interactive professor. He genuinely cares about each and everyone of his students and wants to see you succeed. Not only does he teach you so much about the importance of psychology, he makes it fun for everyone. You will not regret it.
Prof James definitely greet psych prof on campus he thinks highly of his students just make sure you get everything done on time and be on time and your on his good side he has only quizzes but he calls them "tests" he does two chapters then a quiz and his assignments are easy. Just be there on time and get ready to learn
I would recommend this class! Professor James made class fun and interesting, I feel like I learned a lot. I would definitely take more of his classes in the future! There is a lecture/power point then every 2 weeks a there is a test. He helps his students succeed and the lectures/power points are never truly boring.
Vall. He is so funny and all you really need is to prepare for quizzes which are online and multiple choice. A very easy course and great teacher as long as you look at slides and listen to lecture.
He's a great professor and person, along with being very approachable and understanding. If you actually show up and participate, you will do fine in his class. You will never be bored when he's lecturing! And if you are doing Hyflex, please do everyone a favor and turn your camera on cause he does not let that slide.
One of my favorite professors by far. If you can take any of his classes you will not regret it! His lectures are so interesting and instead of just lecturing from the slides he also gives real life examples to help you understand. Never bored once in his class and enjoyed every second. He really cares for his students!
Interesting to listen too. Seems a bit full of himself and will passive aggressively project insecurities onto students to assert dominance.
Prof. Indelicato is amazing. Took his personality theory class and although it's a newer course it is so rich of information! He encourages class discussion, which is what makes or breaks a class. Very educated he knows his stuff. I would take him again, you should too!
This professor is a great person. He will give you two chances to take tests and gives you all the information you need to be able to pass the tests. He always tells dad jokes that while groan worthy are always worth it in the end and are a good way to lighten the mood or for good laugh! Would absolutely take him again!
Amazing Professor! Showing up matters! Offers extra points throughout the semester, makes the lectures very interesting, cares for his students and wants to see them pass the course. The only way you can fail is if you don't show up or fail the exams which he still offers a retake. Struggling to find a professor? Here you go, you won't regret it!
I absolutely loved this class. Prof. Indelicato worked with me to complete work. he is such an amazing teacher
Professor Indelicato is the best! I have taken him three times and he is my favorite professor! He is so funny and makes class so much fun! I recommend him to everyone. I will always remember all the classes I took with him and think of them with a smile and carry the things I have learned with me in my life
Great prof!! Took in SP24. My bf took & recommended him. Cares for students, great lectures, gives experience in the field. As an edu. major, great class. Online tests at home. Sometimes homework. Participation matters. NO PHONE. LOVES teaching Freud. Dad jokes. In charge of the psyc. club. Gives extra credit. Attend every class for 1pt.
THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! I am not kidding when I say I made a Rate My Professor account just to rate him! He genuinely made coming to college fun. I honestly don't even know if I want to stay in college because of the horrible experience I've had, but Prof James has made me want to wake up and come to school. I RECOMMEND HIM HEAVILY!!!
I got "stuck" last minute with this 8am class, couldn't be happier that I did. If you can deal with a few bad Dad jokes, this is your class. Prof James truly loves the material and attempts to keep you engaged. As a middle-aged newer college student, I have learned tips and tricks for studying, memory in general, that I will carry with me forever!
James is honestly amazing. Not only does he care for students but cares to engage everyone and is over all an amazing teacher.
He likes some students, has a close bond with them but others he doesn't care to know, after a semester in his class there are students who came every day, he still didn't know their names. His lessons are mainly stories but they get so off track that it's hard to relate them back to the lesson, there aren't many assignments so attendance matters.
His jokes aren't funny he is annoying and judgmental. If he asks you a question don't bother answering cause he'll interrupt you the entire time. Won't leave you alone on webex if your mouth isn't showing. He's easy work wise but he's irritating. Don't bother taking him. He makes weird and embarrassing comments has no issue w putting ppl on blast.
This professor is the best one I had so far the way he teaches is awesome and make you so interested in psychology!!! And hilarious!!
Do NOT listen to the 5 stars reviews. One of the worst experiences I have ever had, I should have reported it to the deen. He is not kind to marginalized people. The day after I called him out for his gross language he brought this site up in class like he was making sure I didn't write anything about him. I am not the only person too.
Prof James is the best and I'd recommend him to anyone. He is not only hilarious but also provides so much interesting information and stories in the lectures that definitely keeps you engaged. The class is a place to have open conversations, and I don't think I ever enjoyed a class more. If you have a chance, have this professor.
Thank you for a great insightful and inspirational course. Professor James is one of the best professors I have ever had. He brings a ton of knowledge and experience to the Psch program at Ocean County College. Just do the work and it will be a rewardable experience.
This professor is one of those people who always needs to challenge someone because he lacks an open mind. In the midst of sharing personal experiences, instead of actually sharing knowledge and information, he claimed we were either liars or make obvious gestures as if we were nuts. Even made another student cry and smiled. All in a 5week class.
Professor Indelicato is one of the best professors I have ever had. He is very knowledgeable and uses a lot of his own life experiences. I would definitely take another class with him.
Great guy. Has funny stories and makes the class relatable to real life. Doesn't bore you to death during lecture. Quizzes are somewhat challenging but he helps with study guides and topics to prepare you. Have a sense of humor if you take his class. Totally recommend.
I would pray every night before class that I would die in my sleep so I didnt have to go to his class
Amazing class. Mostly discussion which made me reflect on my own life. Great guy, know his stuff and relates theory to real life.
Professor James is a great professor who wants his students to succeed. He is very caring and willing to help you in any way he can. That being said, he does put a lot of info in his exams, so be sure to use things like Quizlet to study for them. But if you like corny dad jokes, take him!
Best class I've ever been, very understanding and love the dumb dad jokes.
Such an incredible teacher. Made all lessons super interesting and answered any question you had. All assignments that were given were super easy. You really couldn't fail that class as long as you were present. Hands down the best professor I've had!
Such a lovely guy, great teacher. Would absolutely love to take him again. Love his dad jokes
Prof James is an extremely well-versed professor. Follow him on TikTok (@prof.james2)and join the psychology club for extra credit
Professor James is really funny and he makes the class interesting. Just show up to class and do the assignments and it's an easy class.
Very funny professor! He is very chill and appreciates students that speak up. Gives students treats (one time, grilled cheese for the whole class!!). Would 100% take again.
The best professor I have ever had. Truly cares so much about his students and wants them to succeed. He has amazing lectures that are enjoyable to listen to and he shares lots of his own experience which makes his lectures even more great. He is truly a knowledge professor and I promise you will get a lot out of his class.
He is very kind, with many jokes. as long as you pay attention you will be fine, and there are plenty of extra point opportunities. he is very personable and has a very good sense of humor. i took him for my 8am, and class was never dull. you can tell he enjoys his job!
