loved having mr jeferson! his class was so easy. the final exam was 50 questions and i promise if you listen just once in his class and take good notes it will be easy. i finished it in 15 mins. i would recommend him to anyone who would want to ease through pysc! book was never needed!
He assigns a lot of work, and is not clear most of the time with the instructions. He is very happy to kick people out, kicked out 5 in one class. His lectures do not really have a point, he just sort of talks and reads the slides and does not elaborate. He will not let class out early for anything. I do not recommend him unless necessary.
He has a cool yet clear accent. He is very kind, attentive, and helpful. There are 3 tests. Some of the content tests is from the book. He draws visual aids, and helps you understand how your mind works. If you have trouble with the labs use his office hours. Very interesting and explanatory class. Don't talk or text in class or he can dismiss you.
He is a cry baby, grades stupid hard. His class is easy to pass if you never miss class and enjoy boring class. i would never take him again, and do not recommend anyone taking him.
You are an awesome teacher!!!
Pretty great teacher! Class can be confusing but just ask for clarification. He will help you answer questions, if you let him know you are having trouble.
We had two tests, and the final for a total of 3 exams. He was very helpful and tried his best to teach us. Some say he has an accent, but he gets his point across, I never had any trouble. Tests weren't too bad, don't skip class though! Pop quizzes are open notes and help your grade. I highly recommend him!
I had him for General Psyc. He utilizes slides and handouts. In addition he also makes notes and draws visuals on the chalkboard for clearer understanding. Must be a conceptual thinker for this class. He gives three tests and then one exam, all of which are multiple choice. Although he gives handouts, some material is in the textbook.
He is very helpful. if you need help just ask and he will help you to clarify things and get you back on track. Make sure you study for tests to get better outcome for grades. He is really big on giving out handouts and slides to help us out. Also he gives extra credit opportunities. Sometimes things are confusing but he will do his best to help!!
Very nice man I took him for stats. if u need help he is willing to help you in any way so that you can understand. he does give quizzes but if u pay attention in class they aren't hard and most of the time you can use your notes. he is very helpful I will def. take him again.
Great class. As long as you follow the theories, the math is easy. Great professor!
He is a very good professor. He explains everything with lots of details, gives hekpful handout that he makes, is open to helping you one-on-one if you are having trouble understanding the information, gives extra credit. If you have to take this class i highly recommend you take it with him. Make sure to attend class to understand material.
His class is really easy to pass if you show up, read the book, and pay attention.
Great Teacher Overall. Explains very well.
He's a great professor who gives helping information before each test. You must study to past the test in this class, but if you do you'll easily pass. Has one paper project in the class though it is extremely easy. Participation is the key. Overall he is a very good instructor.
Great guy, pretty straightforward.
He was nice enough, but he wasn't authoritative enough and the explanations were not clear.
Not a bad class if you want an A, just get your stuff done and and the grade is easy. Not a bad professor, not the most interesting for psych, but 710, would take again if necessary.
I really liked this class. It's a little hard to understand him at first, but once you get used to his accent you'll hardly notice it. I didn't buy a book and did pretty well. When I did need a book I just borrowed a friend's. He drops the lowest test grade so that's awesome. Overall, very good class!
Great guy and is willing to work with the students with whatever they need.
Only three tests plus the final, however as long as you go class (attendance is taken anyways) you should do well on the tests. Very understanding professor.
He is by far the best Statistics teacher to take along with Rinker. His test are pretty straight forward, you just have to know how to solve the problems given, and know definitions of the terms. He gives easy quizzes that is not hard to get full credit for and he also lets you use your notes to complete them. I would definitel suggest taking him!!
Very good teacher works with students and class is easy to understand, very easy class if pay attention and don't skip class.
The tests are difficult so pls pay attention
There is nothing left to say. Take as much of extra credit you can get. and use your book for homework. Its all about memorization.
Take all the extra credit he gives you.
Nice professor. "Pop quizzes" are usually announced. Gives many opportunities for extra credit. Test are pretty easy, just vocabulary is a little tricky. Works with students. Gives handouts and reviews for exams! Would take again.
First time here at Lamar, hes a great teacher. I would love to take more classes by him. Gave alot of extra credit and hes fun to listen too during clan. Not a boring guy hes great at making up different ways of thinking about a subject. Not hard at all.
He posts powerpoints which are helpful in better understanding the material .
Very Sweet!!! work through practice problems and show up to class and you will do fine. I was really not motivated this semester, that's why I got a lower grade. He is clear and concise but the class material is not interesting and feels like it lasts five hours. grades come from 2tests a cumulative finalquiz gradescomprehensive probattend.
He is a very nice man and he will go over the problem as many times as you need. Sometimes it gets a little confusing the way he teaches.
Great teacher. There when you need a helping hand and very easy to get along with.
Great teacher and will help you whenever there is a need
He is a great professor. and is willing to help you.
Jeferson is very, very helpful, if not always super clear.
Good teacher, just make sure you pay attention and do every assignment. And try not to miss any class
Jef. is a wonderful prof. he is helpful and if you do not understand he will backtrack and go more indepth . he wants you to come to his office if you are still not getting the assignment . he gives 10 quizzes which he tells you ahead of time and 3 tests.. make sure to read the chapters and know the vocab. other than that he is a great teacher
He is the nicest professor that I've ever had. If you're stuck or don't understand something he is there to help you. He makes this class super easy. If you just study you will make an A. I wish I could take him for all of my classes.
One of the best professors you could ever ask for. He is a really nice guy, teaches the material great and will go over it again if you just simply ask. He wants you to pass, so he is always willing to help. If you show up, pay attention and read the chapters, there should not be any reason not to pass. Wish he could teach all my classes.
Extremely great teacher. He is very clear and likes to interact with his students. In my opinion he is not the tough, stern stereotypical college professor, and I wish he could teach all of my classes.
The class was easy as Far as content. But during class it was very dull and it seemed repetitive.
This guy is such a good professor. He shows that he cares that we understand the material all of the time, and makes sure he can relate what we are learning to how we'll use it in the real world. The only professor I can honestly say is great.
He did good at preparing students for tests
Make sure that your phone is on silent and you take your time to read the assignments given.
He's a good teacher and the class was a complete breeze. I put in zero effort and passed with an A.
The study skills class is boring he is a boring teacher and takes off for everything don't take him!
He's a good teacher. He explains in very good detail and is there if you need extra help. If you do take his class put your phone on silent because he will kick you out and call you out!
Gives extra credit close to the end of the semester
He was a really good teacher, and is always there for the students. Always read the chapters before going to class. Just read the book and show up to class and you will pass.
He's from Brazil so he has a little bit of an accent, but you can still understand what he's saying or trying to say. He does give out homework, but its not necessarily due, its just to better yourself, but he does discuss it in class the next day. There's a lot of reading in class, but he makes it fun. He will change things if they benefit you.
Mr. Jefferson is so sweet, his lectures are just a bit boring. The test may seem like common sense, but your common sense is not his common sense so that means you have to study for his test. Overall good teacher
honestly a very easy class from my perspective. You have to earn your grade and show up to class. Don't bother to take this class if you're super lazy. Overall great and a fun teacher!
Deserves the respect he expects to have in class room and gives you every opportunity to do the work he assigns.
I find the tests and the quizzes hard, needs more studying even though it looks common sense. A good teacher over all.
Nice professor just make sure you follow his simple rules.
He is always willing to help you out. But you must be willing to work.
Overall a good teacher. He doesn't allow you to make up any test or quizzes.
Pretty cool professor nice and really engaging in the lessons but has a few rules u have to follow
You MUST read the text book. Stay on top of your attendance, quizzes and tests and you'll pass.
You can easily get an A if you read what's needs to be readed. He's really nice, but has a bad side too. DO NOT TEXT you will get kicked out of class.
Easy professor just try your best and patticipate
Very good prefesor
He a good professor , make sure you go to every class day he sets and take good notes. That the key to passing his class.
Come to class listen and don't fall asleep, visit his office hours and you will for sure get a A .
best professor i had this whole semester
Mr. Jeferson is really nice and the class is easy. Sometimes boring but never hard. Tests are very simple and he is funny during class.
Great teacher !
He is really good, but has an accent.
has an accent , makes bad jokes but hes cool
He was an amazing teacher ! always giving extra credit !
Pretty good teacher. Not hard just pay attention
Great teacher
Lectures are long and sometimes boring, but other then that the tests are easy if you read over the chapters given.
Good Professor. Most lectures are from the book so make sure you read. Has a good sense of humor.
good teacher
Very good class. His lectures were very interesting, and I would most definitely take his class again. Just make sure you have your textbook ready
He is very caring and helpful with class.
explains the subject great
The professor was very thorough
it was okay
He gives good lectures. He also does activities to show the class some visual aids of what he is talking about.
He was hard however gave every student a chance
he was really cool. made me want to come to class. it was an easy class and he was really laid back
He is and overall great teacher, and helps you through the semester. However sometimes he could get a little irritated during class with some students and take it out on everyone. His class is fairly easy if you just study and do your work.
Mr. Jeferson is a really great teacher. Class is mandatory. He does not bump your final grade but he does curve your test grades. Don't use your phones in his class, and always be respectful because he deserves your respect. All in all he's a great teacher and you'd be lucky to have him.
my professor was very helpful and understanding. the test were based on the notes we took and lectures in class, so there was no confusion on the test. class was always entertaining and very informative. the was not any group projects, it was mainly individual work. I learned a lot in this class and the class was challenging but not hard.
Make sure you go to class. You do not have to take the final if your making an A in the class.
Mr. Jefferson is a great teacher. Tardies matter and counts as participation grades so come to class as much as you can. The class was fairly easy I would recommend him.
Mr. Jeferson is an awesome professor.
Not a difficult class. Everything is common sense, but reading is required for the life scenarios questions on the tests. Pop quiz's are not multiple choice and are specific to the assigned book. Overall, easy A
the class was overall pretty easy his test were no actual book to notes test they were more of scenarios. You didn't really have to come to class but you did for the test and quizzes.
He is your average caring and compassionate professor.
He was a bit uptight, and rude in the beginning of the semester. But, loosened up and made class more enjoyable towards the end of the semester.
He really tries to work with you. If you are having a problem with class talk with him, so y'all can work out an agreement. He is a pretty fair grader. But he does not round final grades. Like if you have a 89.5 he will NOT round your grade to a 90. So, do all the extra credit it might help in the end.
Mr. Scheidemandel is very serious when it comes to turning in assignments on time. If he promises one student help he must promise the rest of the class the same help. He does everything he can to help you pass but he doesn't chose favorites.
Mr. Jefferson has helped me throughout the whole semester. Although I was one of the ones to fall behind, he continued to stick with me to give me as much help as possible without being unfair. He's also tries his best to keep the class active so that we participate. Resulting in complete understanding of the material.
His lectures are too long and he can be overall confusing of what's conveyed.
he's cool but he strict to and does not do late right
Takes coming to class seriously, gives extra credit so take advantage of it . Read the book because the test isn't really just the in class lectures. Very strict on phone usage.
Great Teacher!
He gives a lot of in class assignments, but they are very easy to do and he will help if there are any questions. He was actually my favorite teacher this semester
Mr. Jeferson is a great teacher.
Class was fairly easy. He talks a lot and you can rarely understand him. If your not a morning person, I suggest you take this class in the afternoon an if you like o b on you phone, in another professor.
If you follow his instructions and show up to class and read the text you are most likely to pass with flying colors
Great instructor
Good professor.
He is a great teacher
He's a great professor. He has great communication skills, and I loved his lectures. I would definitely take his class again, because he is available for his students.
He has an accent, but for the most part, able to understand.
His class is generally a class about learning how to go to school. if you show up and pay attention you will most likely pass. (he drops lowest test grade if that helps :3 ) he will make a scene if you are on your phone or talking during his class though so watch out for that. the textbook not so expensive and he expects you to bring it to class
Great professor!
Great proffesor, would take the class again
He was an excellent instructor from my point of view and his lectures were as clear as they could've been, even with his accent. He had a clear thought process on what he was trying to convey from his class. I would definitely take him again or recommend him to a friend!
Great person, make sure to take notes and read the book. Although, you really don't need it to pass. At least that's what i think
This class is easy if you show up. He lectures almost every single class and it is boring, but easy to boost your GPA. He gives homework but never takes it as a grade. I have used the textbook maybe one time. Tests are easy but you have to study.
Great professor. Very caring and helpful. Goes over lectures in detail and has great in-class assignments. 3 projects, mainly APA essays, assigned over the semester. Very approachable after class and will work with you. He's strict when it comes to talking and goofing off in class and will kick you out if you persist, so be a good boy/girl!
Has multiple teaching styles to help many different learning styles.
Professor Jeferson Scheidemandel is from Brazil so he has an accent but not a harsh one and he always makes sure that the students understands what he is saying. He doesn't allow the use of phones and he hates interruptions which can result in him kicking you out of class. This course is self-explanatory and overall he is a good professor.
Awesome teacher! a lot of extra credit!
Good teacher, very caring. Easy A if you study
Attendance is MANDATORY! Points will be taken if you are absent, and you will fail if you have more than five. All he talks about is Brazil and it gets annoying after a while. The class is boring overall, except when it's a day for reviewing. He barely cancels class, so you stuck if you have him in the morning fam. And them labs are terrible.
Really good professor. Pretty easy but you did have to study for test and quizzes or you fail
Not lenient at all.
He is a very good teacher, i would recommend anybody to take him.
This professor is great at giving extra credit and students really should take advantage of that. His class isn't hard as long as you study, but you really do have to pay attention in class as well as read the book. His accent can be a little to much at times, but overall he's a good professor and only wants the best for his students.
he is by far a very good professor. I would recommend anybody to take him.
Hes a good professor and very nice, very lenient. alot of ppl dont take advantage of his extra credit
great prof. and very nice. strong accent, but you can understand him. overall along as you try you would pass.
He mostly reads off the power points, so either print them out off of BB or get ready to take notes. He is nice and very easy to get a hold of outside of class.
Mr. Jeferson's class is really easy if you show up to class and participate in the readings. He does not sign little to no homework at all. All pop quizzes are done online
Clear grading criteria
Was very helpful if you had questions and gives a lot of extra credit at the end of the semester.
Do not buy the book. All the slides are on blackboard.
He is a lovely person and pretty understanding if you have an actual reason you can not make it to class. I went to his office a few times for help and he was very kind. His test are not too bad you just need to study for them and read the chapters you are going over.
He is a very good professor, and is very passionate about what he teaches. He is also very understanding. For example, if the majority of the class gets a question on the test wrong, he'll throw out the question. He gives a ton of extra credit opportunities, you could potentially earn up to 20 points on extra credit. The textbook is used a lot.
Mr. Scheidemandel was cool and interesting. His examples he gave were good and his teaching was ok, but he spent way too much staying off topic for the entire class then trying to cram a lesson at the end. He didn't even finish at least a quarter of the third unit, but it was still on the final exam. It was his fault, and everyone had bad grades.
He's a really nice guy. This was his first year teaching Lifespan, but he's been doing a great job. His lectures are based on the slides, and he prints out the slides for us most of the time. Not too much time is needed to study for tests, they are pretty simple if you listen and review the power points.
He is such a nice guy. If you listen to his lectures and use the study guide before tests it's an easy A.
While the material could be a bit difficult to understand at times, Scheidemandel was a great professor. His lectures didn't make me fall asleep but actually kept me pretty engaged through the entire class period. He was funny. There was no homework. Only tests and some projects at the end of the semester. He's really understanding.
he's always willing to give students extra credit! only 3 tests in the class and then an optional final. Very good professor and would recommend him to anyone needing gen psych.
Scheidemandel is a nice guy, but his lectures are VERY boring. Almost the entire grade is determined by 4, 50 question exams, that are not easy at all, the class usually averaged a 60, and are usually over 200 slides worth of info. Be VERY careful in choosing this professor. My STEM classes were less stressful than his class.
Mr. Jeferson is the most kindhearted professor ever! He is very understanding and his class is super easy. There are 3 exams and an optional final if you are happy with your grade by the end of the 3rd exam. His questions come straight from the powerpoints so it's important to study them and he gives extra credit opportunities often!!! Loved him
This class was easy for me, but he grades discussions completely based on his opinion. Theyll say something like what do YOU feel- but if he disagrees with your opinion, you get zero points. One paper, 3 pages max. Overall a good class but graded subjectively.
Easy class. Try to do most if not all of the work and you'll pass. Don't wait until the last minute to do it, because the chapter questions take a LONG time. You have to buy the online textbook because that is where the homework and tests are. Our first 2-3 test weren't proctored, but out of nowhere he made the last 3-4 tests proctored.
Stressful class once you know how tricky the exam questions are. He has you read a chapter, take quiz (w/3attempts) and proctored exam, EVERY WEEK! NO EXTRA CREDIT EITHER. There will be a few DB's and one writing paper at the end with min of 300 words to 500 max words.
The class isn't terrible but the exams are nothing like the work you do. Very lecture heavy for a 4 week class. Communicates very little, DOESNT offer extra credit.
The professor is very kind and makes the class easy. Studying the slides and using unstuck ai for practice questions can help you ace the tests. Attendance is mandatory, but the workload is manageable.
He is easily accessible through email when you have questions but will absolutely not accept late work.
