Lectures are easy to follow but can go long. Best part is he types out the lecture notes for you. He gives out review sheets, and pulls test questions straight from it. Very easy if you show up and pay attention.

I would highly recommend Dr. Topping for any Psychology class. He is very specific about what he wants you to do on Assignments in class. During the semester, he always went and had Help Sessions so that way we could go to him for any additional help we needed. He is by far the best teacher at San Joaquin Delta College. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Topping divides class into lecture, study sessions, review and quiz day. Students can opt out of all but lectures and quiz. This leaves the classroom empty for those students to ask questions(one-on-one) on h.w. and projects. Easy if you do the work. Last section and/or final optional if you like your grade, you get to drop lowest score.

And he was so open and wanted to help me. He even e mailed me a few assignments when I was gone. I managed to get a B but could have gotten an A. It is a good stepping stone to Stats if you're nervous. He is very open and wants us all to pass. Makes stats so black & white it's impossible to fail!

So nice, an actual good teacher, knows how to make sure people understand. Basically you only have to come to class once a week because the others are "help sessions". Doesn't make you buy the book or scantrons. Exams are super easy. Minimal and easy homework. 5 billion chances to make up tests. May not have to take final if you've taken all tests.

Dr Topping is a great prof. He's funny and understanding, his classes are super easy. He really does everything he can to make sure you understand material, so when you don't it he gets frustrated, but that's his only downside. He just doesn't like irresponsible folks! If you can't pass his class, you're probably one of the irresponsible ones.

You don't need the book unless YOU like having one. He goes through book anyway with the study guides. This class is all about surveys, and projects.

He's actually fairly easy and laid back. When I took him, the beginning you show up to 2/3 sessions of the week for lecture, then a month into you just show up once a week and the other two days are if you need help. It IS easy to get an A in this class, but if you slack off don't expect it. There's an optional final to raise the grades of tests

The absolute BEST professor to take for Psych 2. Dr. T did an excellent job transitioning to online learning. Things are very well explained and easy to understand. There are a total of 5 worksheets, 5 quizzes, 1 per unit, and 3 projects that you are graded on. The final is optional and can only help your grade. Take Topping!

This isnt your average online class. Nothing is submitted through canvas. There arent even due dates and lists of assignments on canvas. You have to email your homework and exam answers to him.

As stated by other reviewers, Topping does truly provide his students with all sources of information to pass his class.

He makes it quite a nuisance to turn in work and find assignments. He puts all the assignments on this one page and you have to be constantly looking at it to make sure you don't have any work to do. On top of this he makes you type out all of your answers into a long column to then email it to him. VERY ANNOYING. Other than that he's okay I guess.
