Professor Hines is great! His class is really laid back, and tests are short and easy as long as you take notes in class. Attendance is taken, but you can skip a few times and be fine. Reading the textbook is suggested, but not required. I would definitely recommend professor Hines!

He can be arrogant but he forces you to learn a lot.

I really like him. Some people complain about his tests but he basically tells you what to study for and if you look over the text book before the tests you will do fine. He is easy to approach if you have any questions and is helpful as well. You will also do well if you pay attention in class. Easy to get a B in this class

As long as you take notes in addition to the printed power point notes you will do fine. I study a lot for the tests but cant seem to get above a B. He really knows his stuff and wants you to understand everything clearly. Not the easiest, but I recommend him!

I didn't think his class was as bad as a lot of people say. As long as you study, read the textbook, and pay attention in lecture, it isn't that hard to do well.

Everyone says he is extremely hard, but he really is not that bad. I loved having him as my psychology professor. He does hate it when people skip class but towards the end of the semester he gets really relaxed about quizzes and such. There are also extra credit opportunities!

Jarrod is actually a pretty good teacher, just study and you will do fine! He's very knowledgeable about the subject, and he wants his students to succeed. I would definitely recommend him!

Professor Hines did a great job teaching the material. He used examples for just about everything that really helped me understand. Some of the questions on the quizzes and exams are worded very tricky, but he always has bonus questions to make up for it. I highly recommend Hines! I didn't read the book and still got an A.

Professor Hines knows what he is talking about and is very helpful if you need him to be. He encourages class discussion, and if you talk he is never negative towards you even if what you say is wrong. His tests are hard because of the way he words them, but you just have to think outside of the box sometimes. There is one easy homework assignment.

Jarrod was by far my best proff. He was very clear in his lectures and added a wolverine or reddit joke from time to time. His tests are not THAT difficult, unless you're an idiot. If all you do is party then yes, you will suck at this class. I will take the next level class w/ him after how well he did. 10/10, would grab a beer w/ Dr. Hines

I don't really understand the criticism for Hines. He is a decent professor, if you study moderately for the tests and quizzes there's no reason you shouldn't get an A. Some test questions are worded strangely and he can sometimes talk too fast during lecture but he is always willing to answer questions or go back to previous ppt slides.

I don't know why my thoughts are so different but I thought he was an ok professor. Always helpful, and I never saw him be demeaning towards students. The only time I had a hard time understanding something was if I had missed class. I would recommend him, but not if you don't want to put work into a 100 level course.

Jarrod is extremely helpful when it comes to understanding the material. If you ask him a question during lecture, he will first think about what you said, plan out his answer, and then give you his best answer he can. He makes the tests and quizzes very fair, and he makes lecture interesting. By far my favorite class so far, I would recommend it.

He was a very helpful professor when you asked him a question he gave you the best answer he can give or he would direct you to somewhere that has a better answer. He was very unclear at times and it made the class a little confusing. But overall I think he is a great professor.

Offers few points throughout the semester, so make every point count. Fairly standard 200 level course, some questions on tests are directly out of the book NOT mentioned in class. However, he does offer extra credit and gives out study guides before tests. He can be a little controlling when it comes to class behavior.

I know what's it like to have a tough professor that doesn't care. Jarrod isn't like that. He is a good teacher and makes everything clear and understandable. The tests are not hard if you study and pay attention in class. Personally, I didn't really read the book. I don't think you need it as long as you go to class.

Jarrod Hines is great, he cares about his students and makes the class content interesting. Read the book because there are questions on the test from them and pay attention in class, it's easy. There is one group project, a paper, and that was probably the worst part. Otherwise, take him!

Covers multiple perspectives, focuses on issues with diversity, gives examples based on research, and is always willing to answer questions in or outside of class. Covers material from the book and uses useful videos and examples to explain material. Graded fairly, gave 2-4 extra questions on exams and 2-3 points back when many got one wrong.

Awesome at what he does. He is fair with his grading and expectations.

Jarrod is incredibly smart and I really enjoy his teaching style. I have taken two of his classes and I am registered to take a third. If you ask a question, he will contemplate for a minute, then formulate an answer that explains what he is talking about with clarity. He gives great lectures with a lot of information and examples to make sense!

Jarrod is a very young professor, and because of that, he hasn't quite figured out the best way to do things yet. He's often very high-strung and doesn't always respond well to the class's confusion. The assignments you get are incredibly long and time-consuming, but they're not that hard if you make sure to do them right.

Jarrod has become a very good professor. I took his first ever Research Methods class, and at times he got confused or frustrated, but overall did a great job engaging students during lecture, providing helpful info on D2L, and guiding us in all our assignments and the massive group research project. Probably the easiest prof. for Research Methods.

I took psych 230 online with Jarrod and it was a breeze compared to his in-class 230 class (apparently). He was always available for questions and helpful. 1 chapter per day, 1 homework assignment per day, and a test at the end of every week. I never read the book and got an A-. I really thought it was doable in a 3 week time frame!

Jarrod clearly cares about this subject, but the class can be disorganized and is a lot of work. Many lab grades are group based grades, and it can be overwhelming. There are comprehension checks almost every class for a grade, so make sure you read and understand the material! He's always there for help however if you need it, which helps a lot.

Good class, not bad take it in the summer! Lot of work, but easy A.

Jarrod is funny and has a great personality; he is hilariously sarcastic. The class is extremely difficult but he tells you that the first day. Make sure you pick a good group and take awesome notes throughout the semester on how to decide which analyses to run depending on the study type. This will help immensely with the SPSS final.

This Class (Research Methods) is rated as THE most difficult psychology class, on nearly every campus I could find. This class was not easy, it was not fun. It requires a lot of effort, but it can be done. And remember, once its over, it all gets easier from her on out. I marked "yes I would take him again", but I'm not sure.

VERY TIME CONSUMING. I spent about 5-6 hours on this 3-week class per night (to achieve an A). Each day is a different chapter in the book and a quiz and homework assignment. I never met Jarrod in person, but even through e-mail you can tell he really cares and wants us to succeed! Very interesting, easy class IF effort is put in! :)

Good amount of work associated with the 3 week summer class but it was well worth it! There is a quiz everyday (14 of them) during the week in addition to a discussion post and response to other classmates posts. Quizzes weren't bad if you used your resources. I really liked Jarrod, any time I emailed him he was very helpful! Take during summer!!!

If you want to do well on his exam, read every chapters assigned for the exam, then reread them again. Don't assume the test will only include questions on his study "hints", although his short answer questions will be exactly what he gave you on the study hint. Believe me and you will thank me because it took me half a semester to figure this out.

I took his psych 230 class online over winter term. It was a 4 week course I got done a week and a half early, it is easy to work ahead. He is a great professor, lectures were fun to listen to and he gives good feedback. I highly recommend taking this on winter term!

Jarrod is a good professor, and really wants students to do well in class. He makes himself available and tries to help if students ask for it. The class can be super tough, and there is a lot of work to do for it, but he tries to make it as manageable as possible.

I HIGHLY recommend taking a class with Jarrod. I went into 271 thinking I would hate it, and although it was hard I learned a ton and I don't regret taking the class with him at all. If you put in the work, it is very possible to get an A. I've taken more classes with him too, and loved all of them.

Took this class online over winter. Jarrod has got to be the most organized professor i have ever had! He is CRYSTAL clear with his expectations and never leaves you guessing on assignments. Super fast with email response and engaging lectures. He gives you everything to do right in the beginning so you can EASILY work ahead. Would take again!

Jarrod is young so he's aware of present issues. He is opinionated about some things but he is still professional. All the homework and quizzes are through D2L which is convenient but there are no reminders so you have to plan ahead and remember to complete them (which i did not). His lectures are thorough and he is overall a good professor.

In my option, Jarrod is hands down my favorite psych professor. He cares a lot about how his students are doing and if they understands the material. He gives a lot of homework but it honestly helps you learn the stuff. He is very quick to answer all emails and is incredibly helpful. Definitely take Jarrod for methods - you won't regret it.

Jarrod is pretty chill and he knows his stuff. He enjoys when students ask questions related to the content that he can answer in depth. It's hard that a lot of test content is found from the book and not from lectures. He places a strong emphasis on students' wellbeing and mental health which is something you don't see a ton in professors

I took this as a 3 week summer class and it was intense. Expect to take about 5-6 hours each day on reading, lecture, homework, and a quiz. Overall, I learned a lot in a short amount of time! Jarrod is really helpful and responds quickly to questions via email. He really wants you to do well!

Great class, even better teacher. Big fan of Jarrod and he teaches the class very well. Highly advised.

Jarrod is honestly the most down to earth professor. He is AMAZING. He is so caring of his students. take him!!!!!!!!!!! now!!!

GREAT guy, very open and helpful, really makes you feel like he wants you to succeed and is willing to accomodate to make sure you do so. He is very down to earth and provides lots of good examples to help you understand. not overly hard, but you have to put in the work.

Jarrod has been one of my favorite professors at UWEC. He cares about every student, and really wants everyone to succeed. You do need to put in the work, but it is worth it. You will gain so much from his courses, and he is always willing to help!

Jarrod has been my favorite professor at UWEC. He gives great feedback on homework assignments and quizzes. He has engaging lectures that make learning fun. He cares for his students, wanting them to succeed and he is incredibly quick at responding to emails. There are a lot of readings but they are manageable. Definitely take his class!

My favorite professor ever. Such a funny and understanding guy. He shows he cares about his students and their academic achievement. You do have to work a little bit for your grade, but overall the assignments take about 20-30 minutes max.

This was a fairly easy class with a few big projects. The teacher was nice and very helpful. He was approachable and I feel like he wanted us to do well in his class. Also, no exams!

Literal king, best prof I've had yet. He's so funny, and this class is really easy. There are some big assignments but he has the instructions clearly laid out very nicely and explained really well. I enjoyed showing up to class twice a week because he was so funny, and I learned a lot. Its a very good class, and I highly recommend Jarrod.

My favorite professor ever. He was the most human professor and admits his mistakes. He gives great feedback and truly cares for his students.

Prof. Hines is my favorite professor at uwec, he is harsh and to the point but is always willing to help when asked. He knows when his students are stressed and will always be willing to help.

I really enjoyed taking my class with Jarrod he really does seem to care about his job and will give you enough direction and time to make it through and find your way in Psych. Loved his straight up personality and ability to command a classroom.

It is clear that Jarrod cares a lot about his students and the classes he teaches. He is a fair grader and makes sure to not over assign projects if he can't get them graded in a reasonable time frame. It is really important to check canvas because he will put assignments on there and not tell you about them, and he also doesn't accept late work.

I attended all the classes because I really enjoyed them. He is very funny and clearly is knowledgeable on the subject he's teaching. He definitely cares about his job. I appreciate that he is honest about his outside life and is passionate about his work. Sometimes he comes off as pompous to some students, I didnt experience that. He is great.

Jarrod is very kind and understanding - as long as you communicate with him. 102 is an easy course. Most of his grading is done based on completion. If you get it done and it looks like you put at least a little thought into it, you'll get a good grade. Be straight up with him; he's big on mutual respect. He's "quirky" and quite frankly hilarious.

Jarrod is definitely an interesting character. He's a little over the place, but by all means very organized. This class is definitely heavy, a lot of group work and takes some time to understand concepts. Nonetheless, good time management will get you by amazingly. Just make sure to quickly take in mind who you'd like to work with. (choose wisely)

Jarrod is a good professor, always clear about his plans and assignments, and grades fairly (although he doesn't accept late work). Most of this class is writing and reflection based, and he canceled plenty of classes to give us work time. If you know how to manage your time and work independently, you'll do great with Jarrod!

This class is difficult but jarrod is a good teacher. You need to go to class, pay attention, and actually learn the material you are given. The first part of the semester is really easy. The hardest part of this class for me was the spss exam. So actually learn how to do it. Jarrod will help you, you just need to ask. stay focused during class.

I liked Professor Hines as a teacher, I just wish that the class offered easier homework because there was a ton of reading for the homework assignments and it was a bit difficult to understand. Overall, you could tell that he was passionate about what he was talking about and he gave really good feedback in general.

Class was easy for the most part, but for a level 100 class, the final project was very hefty. Plenty of time was given, but it took a lot more of my time than anything in my level 300 class did (including that final project). Also towards the end Jarrod seemed to be almost fed up with the class. He does answer emails very quickly which was nice.

Jarrod has very laid-back policies and overall was very laid back himself but beware if you miss a due date, he does lock assignments and will not let you do them, so his deadlines are very strict. Overall, I really liked discussion days with him they felt very real and personal, and I really enjoyed his class. Jarrod was also very helpful.

Don't ever switch tabs on the canvas quizzes! Class was interesting enough, weekly quiz and homework from a reading but nothing too bad. Quizzes are all textbook material though so going to class seems pointless except that we had graded discussions you have to be there for. Standard lecture style course, not difficult to get a good grade.

The class was good overall, a little harder than I expected because of the content. There were a lot of textbook readings/information in lecture that was overwhelming at times, but it was interesting. Jarrod is really passionate about the topic which makes it more interesting.

Professor Hines is amazing. He was extremely passionate about the content in this class and it makes you want to show up and listen to everything he has to stay because it is all to help you. If you show up and show respect to him and his content, it is an easy class that is a ton of fun. Would for sure take more classes with him if I could!

Methods is a hard class because of the content, not because of Jarrod. He was helpful and clear and his dry sense of humor made me smile. If you come into the class wanting an easy A or wanting to be lazy, you will struggle. But if you want your college classes to actually feel like college, take Jarrod.

Jarrod is a REAL professor; he provides constructive feedback and genuinely wants to see his students succeed. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you miss more than 8 classes you will be dropped. Theres lots of hw and SPSS/ final group paper is majority of your grade. As long as you put in effort you will do just fine. Pick your groups wisely!!!

From the beginning, Jarrod was very clear on his expectations for the final project. The final project did take some time however you have more than enough time to do so. We would have one lecture day and one discussion day and they were very easy and entertaining. Not a lot of assignments, but the assignments that we did do were beneficial.

Jarrod is one of the best professors I have had. He cares about students, very approachable, and very genuine. You definitely have to work hard to earn a good grade in his class but that's what I love about him. This is what I expected college to be like.

Jarrod is a great teacher and gave me a new perspective on adulthood and aging. I didn't consider working with this population until taking this class. He definitely doesn't baby students or make the class easy and I assume that could be why some students complain. I actually learned a lot from him and appreciated his no nonsense attitude.

Hines is a solid professor. If you are willing to put in the work you will do just fine. He seems like a good person who is fair and just wants students to learn.

Taking this class with Professor Hines, you must be aware of some things. He is extremely fair, he will not do something for one student and not another. He is a tough grader, but that is because this content is extremely hard. He makes it clear that if you have any questions you can go to him, so I would recommend that. Pay attention in lab!

If you are ready to be treated like a college student as opposed to a first grader, take this class. From what I could tell, the students who complain about this class are looking for easy As and want someone to hold their hand every step of the way.

First class at UWEC where I felt like I got more than my money's worth. Jarrod knows his stuff, challenges you and does an excellent job educating. If you are looking to actually learn something, take this class, if you are looking for an easy A, don't
