love him
Awesome teacher and a great sense of humor. I learned a lot in his class and laughed a lot at his jokes.
extremely recommended..
he is soooooooo fine!!! too bad he's married
He was a great instructor, made the class fun, alos a great sense of humor
Good teaching style, very engaging as well as hilarious
he's a funny teacher! that makes the boring psychology class so alive.
I heard his long lectures.
Good class. Good teacher.
Great teacher! He's got tons of funny stories to tell, yet at the same time, he's fair and very intelligent. He's most definitely knows his stuff. Take him if you can. :)
man...what can i say about Jeff, this guy is a piece of work. Expect to learn a lot in this class because he is a excellent teacher. The class is essentially a note taking class and awesome lectures. ps...this classs kick ass
jeff...is a cool teacher to take.....i have friends who took his class...mission--san jose state...they loved him.....i really like the DUDE!!!tests are a piece of cake if u READ the book....i got an A for psych 12 so if i can do it...anybody can.... 329
Jeff is awesome! Very engaging, has great examples, and makes the class fun. Points out material that will be on tests. Note and lecture heavy.
His class is really fun. He is very understanding on make-ups... Just read and take notes...
The best highly recomended
He's a good and funny teacher... Makes you laugh all the time... If you fail his class, your aren't ready for college...
He was an okay teacher. He is able to share a lot of personal stories but I felt he went off topic quite a bit. I found that although sometimes amusing, I was often very bored. Tests are easy if you go to lecture and read the book. An easy A but not very interesting
he is sooo cute & interesting. i think people who would love to major in psych should take him. he just doesn't read off notes out of the book, he gives you real like experiences that he had experienced & incorporated them into the class. TAKE HIM
He was extremely easy. I am a mom and remember my childhood etc. I only attended midterms & finals. The term projects were real easy & I turned them in at the beginning of the semester.I got straight A's both classes. If you go to him he will do his very best to help you in any way.
He is an extremely kind teacher and does his best to help students do well. He is funny, but goes off topic a lot. Only an hour of lectures are relevent and the rest are jokes that take up way too much time.
kick ass class
jeff is a ****
he is funny and lectures half time,the rest is just off topic stuff.But very helpfuL, EASY ..I RECOMMEND HIM. HE HELPS PEOPLE WITH LEARNING DISSABILITIES.
He may seem very talkative at first but if you listen you can learn a lot from his stories and examples. He is very fair and made the subject relate to everyone's lives! Read everything in your book and talk during the discussions as often as possible and you will get your A.
HE'S AWESOME!!! I loved having him, and would take any class i didn't need just to have him again. Very intresting, funny and friendly. His classes can be a bit tough if you don't pay attention to lectures but they are very informative, and he's just AWESOME! You will take a lot from his class!!! One of the BEST TEACHERS OUT THERE!!!!!
Easy and helpful professor. Just go to the class and listen to his lectures, you'll go just fine. Project is easy. Easy to get an A in both of these classes!
Jeff rocks. I didn't always attend his class, and found myself often bored when I did for the important lectures, but I adore his funny off topic stories. Easy class when you study, and he isn't very strict.
No Comments
he's a very cool & funny instructor!!!
GREAT TEACHER!!!! Love him!!!! His storys get off topic but thats what makes it great!!!
ya jeffs the best
he keeps you intersted in his class. he's funny and his experiences and stories are so interesting. he's real easy and a great teacher.
One of the best teachers at Mission. Very knowledgeable about the topics and applies own experiences, which keeps you interested and makes it a whole lot easier to understand the material. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Both classes were very easy. If you attend lectures, and skim through your book you will pass with no problem. The first day lecture made me a bit nervous that it would be very hard but no it was a walk in the park...if thats what you want
This online class was incredibly easy. There are a total of 3 online tests, each consisting of 50 multiple choice questions. There is really no Final since the 3rd test is basically considered the Final. You also need to submit 4 essays of about 500-700 words each. Also, each week we were required to make 1 post on the discussion forum. Easy A!!
A rarity in a teacher - can be interesting and LOL funny in the stories that he tells to illustrate points. Seems like a genuinely nice guy. Very clear about what's on his mult-choice tests. Do the basic work (take notes and read the 1-2 chapt/week) and you are almost assured a good grade. There's one research project due. Enjoyable class to take.
Very good teacher. He give the impression that he's tough/mean, but he's really not. He is very informative, funny, and just the teacher anybody would love to have. I recommend ANYONE to take a psych class from him. Be sure to enroll early so you can get him! :)
As long as you show up to class for his lectures and get the notes, you'll know what's gonna be on the test, so you know what you need to study. All his tests were multiple choice, and you only had to write one easy paper. Read the book for homework if you want a guaranteed A.
Seems like it's going to be an easy class, but after taking the first midterm you'll realize that you really need to pay attention to lectures, take good notes and read all the chapters of he book to get a good grade on the tests. Not an easy pass, but those who study hard will pass with a B or higher.
great teacher....very easy tests and easy to understand. highly reccommend class especially if you need to raise your gpa.
Really easy to talk to teacher, nice and funny.
Great teacher! Very nice and very clear lectures~Need to be at lectures and read and you will do GREAT~VERY CLEAR WHAT IS ON EACH TEST
Awsome teacher, he's very helpful, has great stories and I loved going to his class. He makes the material very interesting that i never want him to stop teaching.
This is a great class to take. Jeff is a great teacher who makes you really understand what the class about. You must show up for class and you need to read the book. If you do that its an easy A.
He is great, and very helpful. If you show up in class and read the text book, you'll get A. Excellent teacher!!
should be called jeff1 since that is the subject of the class, himself, his kid, and his past jobs....BUT it's funny, all you need to do to get an A is read the book. Go to the class cause you'll laugh alittle and he's not bad to look at either.
Jeff is an awsome teacher, I took his class in the fall, passed with a B+ and didn't even study or read the book. I do recomend reading and taking gooood notes though, because all of the test are based on part lecture/part book. I just signed up for one of his other Psychology classes this fall. I cant wait. He made me love Psycholgy.
I had Cormier over the Winter session online, so I can't give a good account on his actual teaching. I think he's a fair grader, maybe even a little easy. He seems to give extra pts sometimes. I got 100% for the midterms because of that! I did learn, but it's not comparable to a semester-long course.
He writes out all the notes you need to take on the overhead. I hardly ever touched my book. The tests are very easy if you have access to angel learning. He makes class very interesting. I strongly recommend taking him.
He's a very good teacher. His class is very interesting.
Very hot! :0) Great guy! Makes things interesting!
Really nice and funny!
tests are essay questions, there are forum questions, there are essays, and he gives full credit for all!! highly recommend..... he's super funny, nice, and just great... take him.. im not even kidding.. BTW.. i never onced looked at his notes, nor opened the book.. all i had was a dictionary in my hand@!!!!
Jeff is a great teacher. The tests for his online tests are tough if you haven't read the chapters. He's great at explaining things and interesting to listen to. He is reasonable on the amount of homework he gives for class.
He has a great sense of humor. Lovely and hot teacher! Very funny and makes his lectures interesting. The pain on your butt for sitting for a long time is well worth his class. He gives you positive feedback and always encourages you. Tests are easy; project was easy. Just read the book to learn more. He respects his students and asks for the same
Great teacher, Jeff teaches very well. His class isn't too strict, and he is hilarious. He dressed up as girl when I took him during Fall Semester, and he was twirling his fake hair...FUNNY
I never met him, just took his online class. It required a basic type homework posting. A research essay. And online tests. The tests were extremely hard to get a good grade without studying...so study the study guides! The essay was pretty hard, but I got 100% on it so I don't know how hard of grader he was on that. I got a B.
I swear he gets caught up in his world when he talks. Here's the dilema he is giving you the answer but in his story. Honestly, I don't got time to play that kind of game and reading blah! Also, he is very up to date alot of online usage take his practice tests it helps otherwise your screwed.
Great professor! Go to class and studying the powerpoint slides. You'll b fine. Oh! he's awesome!! Take him
always puts a smile on my face =]
Jeff is AWSOME!And funny! I love Jeff, he makes psychology fun!
I can understand why he is so popular. His stories are fun and overall his class is very fun. But i think that the tests are very hard, his lectures are mostly stories and experiences they dont really help with the tests, the best thing would be to take the practice tests and read the book
I can understand why he is so popular. His stories are fun and overall his class is very fun. But i think that the tests are very hard, his lectures are mostly stories and experiences they dont really help with the tests, the best thing would be to take the practice tests and read the book
oh my god i have so many good things to say about him. most things are covered in other peoples comments but there all true! very helpful. take him!
The most understanding teacher you will ever have. Even if you screw up in the worst ways possible (won't explain), he will listen you out and help you. Great teacher. Online class wasn't TOO demanding, just make sure you stay on top of all the deadlines and you will get an A. Online timed tests were a pain at times, though. (Really specific Qs)
Jeff is different from a lot of instructors in that he wants to see his students suceed, and will do what it takes for them to do so. He also wants you to understand the material and I think he secretly wants us all to change majors!
While he's a very nice and understanding professor, I am severely underwhelmed with the class itself. Not enough work (yeah...), the tests are very specific but barely go over key terms, and I don't feel as though I've learned anything.
I took his online class. I thought the book we used was excellent and would highly recommend. This course has made me absolutley certain that I belong in the psych field somewhere. Very interesting and learned so much. One of the best classes.
He is one of the best instuctors I have ever taken. His lectures were clear & on-point& he posts them so you can print. Tasks and exams were great& easy to understand. He's pretty clear on what he wants& is readily helpfulin acheiving that. His class made me want to switch my major. He made me love Psychology and was so much fun to listen to.
Jeff is a great teacher. It may seem like he's going off topic but he really isn't. He always has a way of relating what he's talking about to what we are learning in class. He's funny and very considerate of the students and their opinions.I highly suggest you take him!!
He is great instructor.I took psych1 and psych12 with him. He is very helpful. His lectures are very helpful and fun. His tests are fair. He offers extra credits which are very helpful. A+ instructor
I took his online class. The textbook he recommended is great! Totally clear and useful, it's fun somehow. His tests contain 5 short questions but you need to make your answers clear and it should provide enough information such as definition, mechanism, and examples. Complete the required tasks and you'll get A!
I learned so much from this course. He is a great teacher who really wants his students to learn the material. He is very good about responding to emails. He is very approachable and I would highly recommend his class as an elective or for those psych. majors.
Okay it seems like the last post was written by him. Anyways, this is my critique. His class is very easy. But, you really don't learn anything. His lectures are mostly stories that he tells to try to demonstrate a point, but he just rambles. I suggest this class for someone who wants an easy A, but not someone who is an actual psychology major.
just took this class and its a very easy A, just short answers for exams. idk what ppl are talking about tho. it's an online class, what does he teach? he just posts stuff up for ppl to read. anything you learn you taught yourself. a robot could have "taught" this class.
took class last summer before I left for ucsc. pros: like others said, EASY A. cons: you don't learn anything. I never read & just googled the answers.
This class was okay. He seems nice. I took this class w/ a friend. You don't need to put in any effort to get an A! Not sure if I learned anything.
I took jeff's online class over the summer. I have never worked so much for a class and enjoyed it. Jeff used an online website for lectures and gave us downloadable powerpoints. So much material was covered online. There were postings, essays, online exams and practice exams. Use the resources available and its an easy A+. Would take him again!
was in this class a few semesters back. Theres little to do. Just post something, do a short paper n take the exams.. nothing much to reallylearn anything. no actual thinking required for A!
Cormier is funny and makes class interesting. I sometimes went to class but I did all the required work. Take my advice and study the practice quizzes!! He puts a lot of practice quiz questions on his exams. Be a good student and you'll get an A like me! Two papers, a short chapter summary about every week, and 3 exams.
Cormeir is an amazing teacher. He makes class interesting and has the best sense of humor. If you attend class and make an effort, you'd get an A. He's hands down my favorite teacher.
Tests were kind of hard. Weekly posts were easy to do and so were the two essays. The only problem was the book. Text book cost $138! Still have text book brand NEW- [email protected]. Class was good. Teacher was super nice and very helpful if needed
Jeff is a great professor. You DO learn stuff if you pay attention and stay active during his lectures. He's very understanding, and is pretty good about making his class sorta fun and interesting. Not a lot of homework, a lot of online assignments that are easy. I recommend him for sure.
As a SJSU alumni with 2 BACHELORS. Came back to school for 1 more bachelors degree. This is my first time at a community college. Jeff is hands down the best teacher I ever had throughout my college milestone. He is EXTREMELY HILARIOUS and he truly makes psychology fun. Read, study, and you will do well in the class. YOU WILL THANK ME FOR THIS!
One of the best teachers at Mission--explains why he heads Board! VERY reliable, very understanding, very kind and a good person. Awesome! He is one of the teachers who WANTS their student to succeed. Interesting and reasonable. Respectful.REALLY FUNNY!! The teacher for everyone. Easy class, just pay attention, study and exchange quizzes, do essays
he is so hot... hes the hottest teacher in Mission College...
Cormier has a great sense of humor which makes showing up to class entertaining, plus he always lets you know some of the major things that will be on the test. Online assignments such as weekly Angel Activity and the Online Quizzes help to prepare you for the test. Reading the chapters help you easily A's all his exams. Do the work & you'll pass.
An excellent instructor! He is the greatest asset to Mission College. He makes learning so gratifying!!
Great teacher and entertaining.Gives you pointers of what will be on the tests and has practice test online (optional) to study for exams. No homework just two short essays and 3 exams.Exams could be easy if you pay attention in class and do the online practice test.I never used the text and just studied from his online power points.GREAT TEACHER!!
Mr. Cormier brightens up the auditorium with his easy smile and openness. He seems to truly enjoy delivering his lectures and comes to class prepared with the day's topics. He is a lively and engaging speaker who supplements book materials with his real-life related experiences to demostrate and clarify his points. Kind and considerate, too.
I took social psych online with Mr. Cormier. He replied to all of my questions within a day of submission. Do all of the discussion questions, 2 essays, 3 midterms, and extra credit and you will get an A. I highly recommend this class, it was interesting and an easy A.
Very interesting class and professor. Mr. Cormier fosters among his students a love for learning. Too bad that I was a working student who did very well on exams but did not complete the essays. Hence, my B grade. Hotness? Sizzling! He's distractingly hairy and goodlooking.
Took Daniel Guich before Cormier. This guy is alright! Guich never took my response too seriously but this guy he made some helpful and encouraging comment on your essays. He makes you want to try harder.
Great professor! Attendance is not mandatory, but it helps to take notes and listen to his lectures for the tests. He likes to use the Angel site for much of his easy assignments. NO HOMEWORK! Reading book is recommended, but can still pass if you do not. Two midterms and a final, with two easy research essays.
ATTENTION! be careful for this teacher regardless of what the other ratings say. he is very hard but you will be fine if you read your text book. also he has favorites so if you talk a lot in class he will most likely go easy on you. he even says people that talk to him he usually grades them easier. take ms. hurkmans she is way better at teaching.
Jeff Cormier was GREAT! Jeff is so personable, I honestly have no idea what the person below me is taking about..if you think cormiers class is hard you shouldn't be in college. He teaches well and is always open for lots of questions. He cares about his students. He has practice quizzes for each chapter. I got an A, Take him! No BS!
I have taken multiple classes with Prof Cormier, and he is awesome. I would recommend him very highly.
Jeff is so nice! His class is super easy too. I never attended, just read my handy dandy book and passed with a B, even after bombing TWO finals. My papers helped me and the angel activities too. When I did attend class Jeff made it fun with his own personal stories about his son and wife. Learned a lot! :D
I like his lectures a lot, he makes it very interesting and uses a lot of his personal examples. He will let you know what will be on the midterm during his lectures. I strongly suggest that you read the textbook, do all the Activities on Angel and Term Paper. I got an A in his class. Professor Cormier is awesome!
HE'S A REALLY EASY TEACHER. Basically read his powerpoint, and go to lecture and just remember his stories and how they relate to the concepts. Passed with an A, I enjoyed going to his class and if I ever needed another Psych class I'm totally taking him again!
I have taken Mr Cormier for 2 psychology classes and one sociology..He is a great teacher and he is not easy because school is not meant to be easy but he will def work with you in getting the A . Do not slack off and ask for help
I took his online class. He is very well organized and prepared for the class. Everything is made clear and well explained. He provides extra credit, and also gives some links just for fun. I really enjoy to take class with him.He treats you as individual, not just ''every semester student''.
Jeff is awesome. I took him for two psych classes and earned an A for both. Once I learned the style of his class, I stopped attending his class altogether except for tests. His online quizzes are basically his tests, and as long as you follow the powerpoint you can easily get an A. I never even opened my book.
Very good teacher, explains in detail and gives life examples. Hes not hard to look at either :)
Just look at all the good reviews, there are hardly any bad ones. He is an amazing teacher. He knows what he is talking about. His class is interesting, fun, and easy. The book helps if you really want to learn the material. Lectures are not required but they're fun, I never dreaded going. I will take him again and I most DEFINATELY recommend him.
online class. very very easy. easy A. one post a week takes like 15 mins. test open book open internet. one easy essay.
I like Jeff's lectures because he applies the reading material with his own life a lot. It's not just a repeat of what you read in the book. If you are interested in Psychology, you will like the book he uses and his class. Just read, do assignments, follow directions, and most importantly, ENJOY. The material is great and Jeff is awesome!
Nice professor. Willing to help if you ask. His practice quizzes are VERY helpful. Some of the questions are on the midterms. Go to the lectures. He tells you whats on the exam. Do the essay ahead because he will let you rewrite for better grade. Read the book because this is how you'll get an A in the class. Doesn't curve any exams though.
Everything was done online, had two extra credit assignments, practice quizzes helped with the actual midterm.One Analysis paper assignment.
Take him very good teacher. I took his online class very clear instruction, do the assignments and take the practice quizzes. Some of the questions on there are on the Exams.
Was expecting an easy A based on what others said. This class is NOT an easy A. The exams are really difficult, especially for students used to getting A's in Psych classes. I did get an A but that's just because the professor is understandable and offers about 15 pts EC. Easy B class but if you're aiming for an A, wouldn't recommend 925
A fun teacher, has a lot of experience in the field and gives great examples. You could go to every lecture, pay attention, never open the book and get an A on all the tests (or at least a B). Very interesting and relevant subject matter. Awesome teacher!
Great professor, take his class you will not regret it. :)
This teacher is great. He has an awesome sense of humor, great examples and good relating. Doesn't make attendance mandatory or shun you for using your phone. I clearly understood the material and loved coming to this class. Class is lecture based as well.
Professor Cormier is a wonderful instructor who makes this course worth-while with all the useful background knowledge he has in the psych field. Institutions need more professors like Cormier who treat students like people with lives who are all trying to accomplish the same thing, get a career. This teacher is one of the BESTS!! [:
Took him online in the summer. Really good and detailed video lectures and powerpoints. His 3 exams are all online. Video discussions per week which are just your summary or perspectives of the video or a topic. Having the book is a plus because his powerpoints are full of info. Fairly easy if you do the studying and work.
OMG TAKE HIM!! He is so passionate at what he does. He is super chill and very funny. Attendance is not mandatory, all of the notes are on Angel anyways. He never made class boring, and you don't really need to buy a textbook, everything on the FinalMidterm is from his notes, which are on ANGEL.
Long lectures, but they're very interesting. I took this class in the morning (starting at 7:45am) and the lectures never failed to keep my interest. Cormier comes to class on time, except for a few times in which case he made up for it. Good introductory class, definitely an easy A.
hes cute :) that only reason i paid attention to his class dont listen to some of his lecture sometimes he goes off topic it messes up my test answer defenitley take practice quiz most of it is on the test memorization is the key to get good grade on his class
I took his course online. Very easy. For his test, make sure you read the book, listen to his lectures, and take good notes. His tests are a bit confusing but not that hard. For the homework, you post on a discussion forum and write out your opinion about a video. I would have taken his class in person but didn't have the time. Overall, 5 stars!
Awesome teacher. EASY A :)
I actually wanted to go to his class. He's just awesome. Take him for any Psych class.
Prof. Cormier is by far one of my favorite Psychology teachers I've had throughout my college career. He is very helpful when needed and is very clear on what you have to do. I took 2 online classes and they were pretty much straightforward, easy discussions and tests weren't that hard. i would definitely take him again!
BEST TEACHER HANDS DOWN! You learn so much in his class. His assignments are never boring. I took his class 2 times and got an A in both classes. Its crazy how much information you learn in his class! TAKE HIM!
I had him for my first psychology course when I first came to Mission. He was always straight to the point with what we had to study and he makes long lectures fun. He is definitely a teacher you want to take!
Doesn't take in person attendance - you just have to log into angel to count as attendance. I use a notebook for lectures, but I would suggest you use a laptop to take notes so you can keep up. Do the extra credit &angel activities. Super nice &funny! I'm a psych major &love his lectures - so interesting! Multiple choice exams. REP studies.
Awesome and honest lectures. He tells it like it is and is very good with giving feedback. Lectures are humorous and not boring. Show up to class, do the assignments (which are usually on Angel), do good on tests and you will get the grade you deserve! Very good instructor
Cormier is the best psych teacher there is. He gives you a lot of real life experiences of his and he is so funny. He is a very understanding teacher and loves to help his students. He sets you to pass his class. His tests are not hard at all. Put his practice test on notecards and study those. There is no way you can't pass his class.
Great professor, take him.
His tests aren't super easy because they contain many conceptual problems. However, if you do the reading and take the practice quizzes, you should do well. I wouldn't say it's an easy A, but definitely an easy B. Homework is minimal. However, you definitely have to read the book to get an A on the test. I had to read the book twice.
My 2nd class with Professor Cormier and I highly recommend him. He makes lectures relevant and entertaining. Workload very manageable. Stanford REP (4 hrs), 3 exams, 4 Angel activities. Very student focused; genuinely wants his students to succeed. If you want to do really well, read the book. Taking the practice quizzes also really helps on exams!
I never rate professors on here but Jeff Cormier is the best teacher I've every came across while attending Mission college. He truly wants his students to be great. He truly cares. He is the teacher that helps the students who fall in-between the cracks. Professor Cormier if your reading this thank you for being such a great person. Thank You!
I took this class in Summer 2016. As long as you complete all assignments in a timely fashion this class is an easy A. There were 2 midterms, 1 final, about 10 discussion questions and a REP study project (not very time consuming). The tests are fairly easy.
If you put in a little effort into studying for the exams, you will most definitely receive an A. Read the textbook and do the practice quizzes. There are weekly discussion posts based on videos. You must also respond to another persons discussion post. He does not grade written work harshly. There are no essays.
Amazing guy and teacher. Highly recommend for developing a solid perspective of psych and fantastic potential life skills.
he is the best. the easiest class that I ever had. he is very nice. accept late homework. give so much extra credit.
He's an amazing professor. All you have to do is show up to class, pay attention to his lectures, and take notes. Done. His lectures are also SUPER entertaining! There's only about 6 assignments outside of class, and they all are super simple. His tests are really straightforward and he's an overall amazing professor.
Hands down the funniest professor I've ever had. I took Jeff's Psych012 class at 9:20am, and he honestly made waking up early and going through all the traffic worth it. He's respected and experienced in his field. The exams were fairly easy. As long as you attend lectures and do the online assignments, earning an "A" is very possible. Take him!!
Jeff is a great professor! His lectures are awesome and he does his best to make them relatable. There isn't a lot of homework and the few that he assigns are very easy and are not that time consuming. He does leave us study guides for each section, so do take advantage of that; you need the textbook though. If you need any help, talk to him!
Jeff Is an awesome Professor! He makes the topic interesting and fun. It's like coming to watch a comedy show. Had a great time. He uses personal experiences to link the topic to be more realistic. Come to class everyday because he gives extra credit sometimes for those who were in class only. Had a great time taking this class. I recommend him.
Had him online for the winter session. Do all discussions, read the textbook and take his midterm and finals. You are guaranteed for an A.
I have taking his 3 Psychological courses and will transfer to SCU for the Master of Counseling in fall. He is a great encourager and warm coach to me. Without his confirmation and support, I don't think I have a courage to pursue Psychology as my life time major. He has rich experience for working at Juvenile center, many fun stories to tell.
He's a really good teacher, his lectures are really funny and even though he goes on a tangent, he still makes his connection. His assignments are are fairly easy, just the most important one of the experiment towards the end of the semester. Highly recommend taking this class or any of his classes.
I just completed the online course--it is a self-study course with quite a bit of reading and minimal interaction with the instructor. Subjects covered were interesting, I wish I took this class in person--based on other reviews, Dr. Cormier appears to be an interactive lecturer.
He is nice and easy. His lectures are great with many of his experiences working in many types of psychology environment. He's also very funny and is easy on grading test.
easy class just make sure you do homework and skim the book
Easiest online class I had in my life. Do all discussions, and do well on the exams and you can get an A.
Easy class. Lectures are informative and test are straight from the book so read it and take notes.
Want an easy class. Take him.
Very easy prof. If you show up for lectures and take notes, you don't really need the textbook. I sat at the back of the lecture hall, which is great if you don't want to socialize/come in late. If you ask him just one question, he will remember your face and say hi in the halls. Quick to respond to emails. Can ask questions about campus too.
Loved this teacher. He will remember you when you pass by him. Lectures are hilarious and engaging. Test are straightfoward based on the book and his lectures. Also, do the discussion work. Very easy class. Take his class even if you're on the waitlist, no problem he will take you in since it's at lecture hall.
Online Social Psych class is easy. Watch the videos, read the book, and do the discussion posts/exams. That's it. If you need help, he responds to emails quickly and is easy to understand. Just be sure to ask help if you need it. This is a cool class too!!!
Good lectures. Didn't really need the book (but if you get it rent an older version it has the same info). Discussion posts are easy. Tests are more difficult than his general psych class, but it's okay just take your time and read the question. If you need help, ask him. He wants you to understand the topic and he gives you many examples!!
Want an easy A, take gen psych with him online. Discussions with 2 extra credits and 2 midterms and a final.
All you have to do is look at all his reviews. Everything that is said about Prof. Cormier is true. Class is straight-forward. He has recorded lectures for some of the chapters or units, around half and hour long, and he's great to listen to. The videos you have to write about are sometimes boring, but you'll live.
If you're looking to raise your GPA, take his online class. Discussion forums and test determine your grade. The lecture videos he send online are good references. Easy and relaxing class.
Make sure you do his discussion forums (also the extra credit) and his exams.
He's a great guy. His lectures were relatable to everyone and really great to listen to. What's on his test is straight from the book so do the reading. If you're a psychology major, take his class.
This class is easy. Discussion forums are from the videos that is easy to respond. The exams are based on the textbook. Want to raise your GPA, take this class.
Very easy online class. If you're a psych major, I recommend taking him IN PERSON. This is only recommended for people who need this GE requirement.
I took Psych at another school and failed it twice due to unforeseen circumstances both times, but luckily, a friend told me about Jeff and wow... I loved his class! If only I could've taken his class in-person! His web lectures made sense and his stories are funny! If you do all the work, you'll be fine!
Super great, no essays, a weekly assignment and tests are easy too. He's a light grader and is very nice. it's an easy A
Knows his stuff, but it's unclear what will be on the test based on just the notes. He will tell you if something is not on the test, or if it will be, but you have to read the text book, which contains info that is not in his ppts (they're really short, 3-5 slides on avg). He talks a lot and a majority of it is not on the test, just experience.
Social Psychology was such an interesting class. I was never bored and I enjoyed the content. Prof. Cormier was great as well! He responded to every email and made sure there was never any confusion. The lectures put up on canvas were always super helpful and they went along directly with the exams. I loved this class and I would definitely retake
Hes really kind to students and tries to be unthreatening and gentle. His lecture is interesting and his tests are easy. Hes also chill about grading and late assignments. Overall, hes absolutely the best!
If you plan on taking a Psychology class, take him if possible. His online class was well organized. I enjoyed all the discussion topics. The research project was very easy. There are quizzes, midterms, and final. They are all reasonably timed.
Interesting and enjoyable discussions. You don't need the textbook unless you really want to dig deeper into the topics. No essays.
He was very informative and made his class very lively, is also very realistic and lenient when it came to his expectations from you.
A good down to earth guy. Seems genuine. Accepting of different perspectives. Good listener. The class is pretty easy, I think he realizes its a community college so not too much pressure. Academic perfecting isnt the goal, he wants you to gain something from the class. He has an acceptable system of values. Cares about what really matters
He can be absolutely hilarious during his lectures. The class is designed for you to pass as long as you do the assignments on canvas (which is insanely easy) and pay enough attention to his lectures for the exams. When it comes to bumping your grade up at the end of the semester, he's very generous as well.
Took his online class in the winter. Great discussions and relatable. No research paper, just do the discussions and study for your exams and you're guaranteed an A if you put the effort.
Great teacher! Took him online. Follow directions and do discussions that are really not hard. watch the videos or read the reading and respond thoughtfully, following directions and its an easy 10/10. Test answers easy to find online or in the book. lots of Extra credit options. He is helpful, straight forward and makes the class easy.
My favorite professor in the entire mission college. So understanding and easy to approach, always available for help. If your going to take a psychology class only take it with Cormier. He is the absolute best at teaching and is always accomadating. You actually benefit from his class even if youre only taking it for credit.
Very straight forward. You have weekly discussion posts and 3 exams. Online is the best option! Gives extra credit opportunities and good feedback!
Super easy and fun course, he is very involved in the discussion boards. I bought the text but didn't end up using it. Walked away from his class with lots of new information, would definitely take him again. Offers a few extra credit assignments, take advantage of them they're super easy!
Jeff is a great teacher! His experience out in the field really inspired the lectures, imo. One of the best psych teachers at Mission, 10 discussions, 3 exams, and an REP. Totally doable, finished the course in a breeze this past summer. Provided lectures and powerpoints for students to follow along! Clear instructions, will take again for psych12!
He gives so many opportunities for extra credit, all of the quizes are on quizlet, his lectures are engaging and he's overall a fantastic professor. Take him for every psych class you can!
He is really understanding, available & approachable. It was a really rough semester for me personally and he made time for me to help me work through a personal matter, so that I could get my head back in the game and save my semester. Honestly, just show up to class, take notes, do the weekly quizzes and reading and you will do well in the class.
Cormier is such a great professor! He wants every person in his class to pass with an A. There was one discussion post and one quiz every week. You have an hour to take the quiz and they're all open-book. There are no midterms, just a final at the end of the semester. For the honors section, we just had to type up an annotated bibliography.
Nice guy, everything that was said on previous ratings are true!
Prof. Cormier has been nothing but helpful this semester even though everything is online. You get weekly unit discussions and weekly quizzes in the unit. REP through stanford is very fun and easy credit. You get 3 essays as well. Very easy and straightforward. Easy A!!!
I absolutely love this professor. He really cares about you being successful and wants you to learn the topics, instead of having it be all about the grade. You have weekly discussions that are easy and fun, weekly quizzes you can find on Quizlet to help you study, and a few optional videos. He is my favorite teacher so far.
Weekly quiz and discussion, the final, 2 papers, and the REP are the only things this class is graded on. There are also several extra credit opportunities available along the way. Prof Cormier's class is simple and easy, and he is a very understanding professor. I highly recommend him if you are taking PSY001.
Truly loves the subject, likes to interact with students Discussion grading is easy, quiz grading is easy, easy grader overall
My class was online, and all lectures were recorded and posted. He is pretty lenient when it comes to turning in assignments, so if anything is late he marks it as full credit. All that matters is if you understand the material. He also gives off generally good vibes :)
Prof. Cormier is amazing! A very sweet man with a passion for teaching. Also, you can get an easy A as long as you do the discussions and easy quizzes. He is also very lenient on missing assignments One of the best professors at mission. Definitely taking him again.
Mr. Cormier is awesome, he engages with all students. As long as you do your work, you will be okay in his class! Definitely would recommend him!
Fantastic teacher. He is very lenient on the deadlines of assignments. Tells funny stories. As long as you put in some effort, it's an easy A. Weekly online quizzes are open notes & open textbook. You have 2 tries. Provides additional resources if you want to learn more about a specific topic. Fun to talk to after class.
Professor Cormier is hands down amazing, I learned so much from his winter psy 10 class. He grades fairly, as long as you put in the effort, you'll be fine. I highly recommend him.
Professor Cormier cares about you. The material was interesting to learn, although he uses really outdated videos to do the discussion posts. I do recommend this class for G.E. About 12 discussion posts, 12 multiple-choice quizzes, no midterm, one essay at the end of the semester, and one final.
Great teacher and great lectures
Best Psychology Professor at wvmc.
He is super nice and gives a ton of extra credit. He is open to questions and is super approachable. He gives you a lot of chances to get an A in the class, and just tells a lot of stories! His stories help us understand the topic. He also gives videos to watch to help us learn so we don't have to just read the book. Quiz every week, but super easy
One of the most caring professors I have had. Excellent constructive feedback. Great content that will help you in understanding the lectures and reading assignments. Great way to start on the psychology road.
Took him Spring 22. Even though I reached out to him late, he gave me an add code to his class still. Psych 1 with Cormier was one of my favorite classes in college. Cormier is a great professor and even greater person
Very easy class, very good lectures, pretty friendly guy. If I was a psych major i would take more classes with him!
He is one of the best professors I have had at mission college. I took this course in winter 23 for around 3 weeks; He is organized and knowledgeable. I do recommend this class for general education. this class had 13 discussion posts. 13 multiple-choice quizzes, no midterm and one essay at the end of the semester, and 1 final exam.
Professor Cormier has been one of my favorite teachers/professors throughout my educational journey thus far. I've taken his general psychology and social psychology classes. He made both classes very enjoyable and insightful. I wouldn't second guess taking one of Professor Cormier's classes again!
took this class during winter quarter. everything was fast paced but easily doable with time management. responds within a day if you ever reach out, at least in my post. there are discussion posts and quizzes for every chapter but as long as you put in the effort you can easily get an a!
Pros: Great guy. Obviously likes to teach and knows his stuff. Cons: Lectures are a bit boring, but that can be said about almost any class. The really bad part: All the assignments are busywork; I genuinely thought they were all a waste of time. They don't add anything to the class. They don't help. Lots of those useless discussion posts
There was a quiz (extremely easy) and a discussion post every week. His lectures were good but the discussion posts could boring considering a few of them you have to watch 1 hour documentaries. He's extremely caring and the assignments are a free A if you just do them. Always full points for discussions and averages for quizzes were around 90%.
I wrote the May 29th review for PSY001H and also took his CJ class. I'd have to say I'd enjoyed this class much better. It seems like he's just slightly more passionate about these topics compared to PSY001. There's a weekly discussion post (full points if you do them) and 3 big SAQ exams (averages were 90). Again, he's super kind and considerate.
Good and caring professor who always give feedback on work. As long as you do the weekly discussions forms, quizzes, and the expository paper adequately and on time, you can get a good grade in the class. Do the chapter readings and watch videos to help you prep. Also has students participate in REP which is amazing and has REP alternative too
Jeff is a great professor who cares about his student's health and personal life. He's been at Mission for a long time and before that at SJSU. He knows his material and gives thorough lectures. He is very flexible with due dates and lets you turn in things late if you let him know.
Hands down one of the best professors at Mission College!
Best psychology professor at Mission
I took Professor Cormier's Fall class of 2023 as an online asynchronous class, exactly what you'd expect, and is an easy A if you just do your work.
I took Professor Cormier's class on Fall 2023 at Mission College.He is a VERY cool professor cares about his student's success and well-being. I like his discussion session the most.Very intriguing topics. He cares more about what you learn really instead of the scores. There is no final exam. Easy A.
Jeff is an excellent teacher who extends beyond his profound knowledge of psychology. His engaging teaching style, which emphasizes practical learning and research methods, makes him an exceptional instructor. I am eager to enroll in Jeff's classes again. Thanks to Jeff, I have become so interested in Psychology. Highly recommended.
Excellent instructor with very informational lectures. Attendance is not mandatory, but I recommend attending since he does expand on the material by giving lots of real life examples. Almost switched my major to Psychology! Definitely recommend for future students.
Professor Cormier is rad. He wants you to learn but doesn't want to pound it into your head. Take this professor. You'll learn and if you do your work, you'll leave with an A.
Professor Cormier is an engaging instructor who makes the material interesting. The class is manageable with reasonable assignments. Unstuckstudy was a great study aid alongside the textbook. Highly recommend this class.
I took his human development and intro to psychology classes. Easiest class you'll take and assignments don't take long.
Amazing professor, kind, flexible, and cares about students. Took him for three online psych classes. Weekly quizzes and discussions were easy and thoughtful. I turned in most work late due to personal issues and he still accepted everything. Very understanding, zoom works best if you need help!! Highly recommend him to anyone at Mission College.
Mr. Cormier's style is very relaxed and flexible. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you go, you will just see him explaining the material. Get ready for online discussions every week after watching 1-hour videos, and quizzes too. You will also participate in the REP by Stanford and do a research paper. He is very understanding. Recommended.
Very great teacher! Will always give out extensions even last minute, just don't take advantage of it and be respectful! Only get graded mostly on discussions and quizzes. Fun to listen to but sadly it's not the most engaging and easy to get distracted.
