Brother Thayne is a super sweet guy but I really didn't vibe with his teaching style. He had us read a lot out of the textbook and then we would go to class and discuss what we read. The problem I had was that during class he only went over the easy subjects of the book. Also there's not a lot of assignments so your grade depends on your tests

Super chill class. There were something like 4 group projects during the semester which were super easy but annoying and hard to get the whole group together. The biggest thing you got to do is FILL OUT THE STUDY GUIDES. You can totally miss class, I went like three times, but just do the study guide. All the questions on the test are from that.

Professor Thayne has a lot of promise, but is easily one of the worst professors I have had. He does respond quickly to homework and is available at all times, but he goes so fast in class and never makes time to stop for student questions.

Night b4 each class: readings and simple videos + answer questions and give examples. 2. in class: Talk about the material (class felt like a valuable because of his humble/fun personality). 3. end of week: write out answers to scenarios I'm a big big fan of Thayne.

Thayne is a good teacher. He cares for his students, especially when they stop showing up since attendance is not mandatory. His lectures are basically students just giving their own examples of how the topic applies to them. He makes videos that are really helpful to prepare you for class.

Jeffrey is a great professor. Due to the level of the course, it is a lot of heavy reading. The classes are so fascinating. He is strict in the sense that you need a genuine reason to submit an assignment late. He brings psychology and the gospel together that I did not know about before. I did not like that the class is a heavy reading.

Brother Thayne is awesome. He's one of those professors that doesn't just use powerpoints and lectures but he actually has his students participate in class and we have fun and engaging class discussions. And he's not afraid to tell you when you're wrong.

Brother Thayne likes to "tease". He says to tell him if it bothers you. However, I wouldn't feel comfortable approaching him with an issue without worrying that he would share it with other students. He isn't the best at listening to students. He also uses a lot of AI. He also wastes a lot of class time, despite requiring attendance.

First semester of the ethics class and it was great. Class time is all group discussion and homework/reading done beforehand as prep, not overly difficult and no busy work. Bro Thayne is very insightful, honest, caring and open to new ideas.

Brother Thayne is Hilarious. Super kind and does a good job managing the classroom environment. He's one of the few Professors that if you just show up and listen to his lectures you'll grasp a majority of the concepts. He cares, clearly works hard outside of the classroom, and everything he does is geared towards you genuinely LEARNING.

I took his class, and it was nothing but a waste of time. He used an AI he programmed to make his homework assignments, grade those assignments, and even produced an article with AI and had us read it. He had four books for us to read, as well as several articles to read before each class. His lectures were praising AI or asking about the reading.

He uses the same fallacies and biases that he teaches about to rationalize his own politics. This class is dangerous, he makes it seem like a good church member should be against liberal politics. Class "discussions" are shallow and one sided. This is the worst college class I have taken.

He's alright, seems to know what he's talking about. My main complaint is that he does proctored weekly assesments, and they affect 50% of your grade. Kinda crazy.

At first I was worried about the five books we were assigned to read, but we didn't need to read the whole book. He involves the whole class in discussions. There is never a day I don't laugh in his class. He is very insightful and is always willing to meet you where you are at. We haven't had a single test all semester. I highly recommend him.

I had a great experience with Brother Thayne! He is a great teacher, and I found attending his lectures very helpful in understanding some of the material I did not quite understand from the reading. That additional explanation is very helpful. Be prepared to take lots of notes, there's an exam every week on all the material learned so far.

Thayne is a weird nerd, but in a good way. His class is a TON of reading, but you can get by with skimming and summaries. His lectures are fun, he uses so many videos and puzzles and exercises to illustrate concepts. The weekly assessments he gives are time consuming, but if you paid attention in class or did the reading you will be okay.

It's pretty well known that he often gets off topic, but he's so amazing at what he does. He is so passionate about psychology, and he tries to explain things as easily as possible for students. Such as spaz sometimes so make sure to do the pre-class readings because not everything is covered in class. This is my 2nd time taking him!

Brother Thayne is by far one of my favorite professors. He tells stories that relate well to what we are talking about. He teaches in a way that helps us retain information for a long period of time. I took his class last semester, and I still think about all of the things that I learned in his class. He also is very engaging. I highly recommend.
