Probably the best psychology professor at NAU. If you ever get the chance take one of his classes! He will make you fall in love with psychology.

Jason is an amazing teacher. If you show up to class, take notes, and do the assignments you will be fine. There's study guides and this semester he did review videos which really helped me a lot! Tests aren't too bad and assignments are very simple. ASK! If he doesn't know the answer he will research it and get back to you the next class session.

I took 215 online over summer along with 2 other classes. He was not understanding of the time limitation and was not flexible about assignments at all! When my grade was suffering he was not very helpful. This class has 5 assignments due every other day, which leaves no room to read or study. Basically preparing you to fail..

His tests are easy if paying attention in lectures, and his homework assignments are simple.

Professor Whetten is truly such an amazing professor! The first semester of college can be stressful, but Dr. Whetten made psychology a highlight! He is understanding, hilarious, and made lectures a lot of fun. As long as you are willing to participate and complete some easy assignments, you are guaranteed to pass. I highly recommend!

Whetten is a great professor, moves at fast pace and prefers notes on paper. Laptops are not allowed in class but lecture has 650+ students so it's hard to prevent. Quiz every week, total of 2-3 research projects, "textbook" is online every week ranging from 16-35 pages with annotations, and additional quizzes about topics not included in lecture.

Whetten is a great professor, his lectures are entertaining. There is weekly reading assignments and a few more complex assignments. He offers extra credit and to boost quiz grades if you go to office hours. However, despite large classes attendance is tracked and he does pop quizzes (you can talk to neighbors and use notes but still stressful).
