Would recommend. Makes material interesting, funny, super fair marker.

Great prof. His lectures are interesting, relevant and funny! He video records his lectures which is extremely helpful around midterm time. He is a fair marker and lets you know exactly what to expect on the quizzes. His slides are easy to follow and he is always willing to answer questions in a clear way until you get it. COGS 100 became my fave

Overall awesome prof, look's out for you and genuinely wants everyone to do well. Makes lectures super interesting and fun, was my favourite class this semester and it is my first year. No midterm or final just 5 quizzes, 2 short essays & a final project which was challenging but he goes out of his way to make himself available to give feedback.

Although the lectures were long & a bit boring at times, Jeremy is an amazing prof! He goes out of his way to help students & is always there to answer any questions. This course is perfect if you want to fulfill a B-Hum requirement!

Great prof. Very clear. Very detailed. Tells you exactly what he expects out of you. Doesn't try to trick you at all. Prepares you very well. There is a lot of work in this course. Lots of quizzes and some papers. Get ready to consistently work. Textbook is a must to pass the class. Ridiculous grade scale. Bonus: Lectures are recorded.

You can tell that Jeremy is not only very passionate about his lecture material, but also the success of his students. He tries to make the lectures engaging by giving relevant examples, as well as giving interesting "what if" situations to make his point, usually generating some laughs. Very approachable professor, willing to answer any questions!

Awesome prof, although weird at times course material is easy to understand! A few easy assignments and quizzes! Ask him for help and he's more then willing to provide you with feedback! Would deffs take a course with him again!

Best prof I've ever had by far. Makes all lectures so interesting; I was excited to attend them. Treated us like equals, and really dedicated time to seeing students whenever they needed. Obvious that he wanted students to do well. Beware the AI section though, its confusing so make sure you study that. Otherwise, he makes everything super clear.

Jeremy is honestly one of the most approachable and understanding professor. His lectures are really interesting and he will try his best to make sure you do good in the course. The grading scale can be quite rigorous but. His quizzes are mostly straight out of his notes. Also go see him during office hours. HE IS A GREAT GUY!!!!!

Amazing prof! Jeremy really tries to help you understand the confusing concepts. The course material may be difficult to comprehend, a basic psychology and biology base will be helpful. Online canvas quizzes(noncumulative, every 2 weeks) done in-class, no mid-terms. A couple assignments, he is easily available for feedback before the due date.

Jeremy really cares about the subject and is eager to share his passion with students. The lectures were very organized and easily accessible online, as well as additional materials, which were relevant and abundant. There is lots of help available and he is willing to go an extra mile for every student. Fantastic course, too good for SFU.

Passing grade in this class is 70% (which is something he can't control, it's the department). Honestly, if you do the work it's not hard to get it. There's no exams. Took to fill one of my WQB requirements. He's super nice but a bit socially awkward. His lectures can get dry but reading the txtbook makes up for it. His humor is self-deprecating

He's a very good teacher and is very precise and efficient with his lectures. if you go to him for help, he is very clear and helps a lot. His lectures are good but he talks pretty fast so be careful for that, although his lecture slides cover everything.

Paces back and forth across the class, loads of lecture slides but not actually a lot of material, must study a fair amount for quizzes - first essay is simple, second essay is more difficult (lots to include), final project marked very fair, he tells you generally what to know for quizzes, AI concepts are so boring

This course has no final, only 5 quizzes, 2 papers and a flowchart assignment. Quizzes are easy if review his slides; no need for the textbook here. The papers you have to write are usually around 1-2 pages and you'll need to be able to cite references properly in APA format. He'll be picky about plagiarism (even if it's unintended). Overall: good.

jeremy is nice, helpful, and just overall a great prof. he usually replies to emails within the same day. (cogs 100) make sure to go to lectures because quizzes are biased to his point of view and dependant on his slides. do yourself a favor & go to the lectures instead of reading off his slides at home or reading the textbook; too time consuming.

Jeremy is really passionate about what he teaches... the concepts are fairly easy and he gives clear examples. He truly wants his students to learn and is accessible outside class. I honestly don't know why people say his lectures are boring, I really enjoyed them and they're useful for quizzes. great course if you like philosophy and psychology.

Pretty decent prof in my opinion. Lectures were a bit dry, but he's passionate about what he teaches and is fairly generous with his marking. Assignments itself weren't challenging but I wasn't a fan of the final flow chart. In-class quizzes were fair too, not hard at all honestly. if you've taken psyc100, majority of the class should be a breeze.

He was a passionate prof. He posted his lecture slides yet went in depth with the material during lecture. His quizzes were non-cumulative were very straightforward, but his assignments were tricky to satisfy in terms of references and terminology that you had to use. I do wonder if he'll ever drink out of the tim hortons coffee cup he always has

He is a great prof, clearly cares about the subject and teaching (maybe profs only care about their lab/research). He is a huge supporter of citations, so it's important to reflect that in the 2 essays. The quizzes are easy if you read the book, there are no trick questions.

Genuinely cares about the subject, his effectiveness, and his students and this shines through. He went out of his way to create a VR classroom for us during COVID-19, is incredibly accessible to answer questions, and offers interesting assignments that are crafted to enrich our perspectives on cog sci moving forward. This guy puts in the effort.

The prof cares that his student doing well and put a lot of effort during COVID to make things easier for the class during the hard times. He is also very passionate about cognitive science which shows during his lectures. He tends to overexplain sometimes though, but it can be helpful. Careful about the essays, he is very strict on citations.

My only prof this term that lectured the correct amount of time. Super passionate and readily available to help if you're struggling. Do not take this course for a GPA boost. I would love to take one of his courses again but he only teaches COGS 100 right now. Managed to inspire me to learn more about AI - trust me, that's quite impressive!

Passionate professor who got me interested in cognitive science. I respect the amount of effort he has to teach through a VR classroom. Lectures were very interesting and explained things very thoroughly. Cons: Felt that my quizzes and essays were a bit overlooked, sometimes rambles in lectures. Would recommend

The teaching medium being in VR and on Twitch really enhanced the learning in this class. He is clearly very passionate about what he teaches and sets clear and fair expectations of his students. One of the best profs I have ever had.

Good at explaining, lectures are engaging and he is obviously passionate about the subject. Very, very strict on citations in papers, citing your claims will give you more stress than writing the actual paper. His slides are pretty vague so you will need to be present for the lectures and take notes for an understanding of course concepts.

I thought this was a decently hard class but professor Turner was really good at explaining the information and using a lot of examples to help us understand.

IGNORE ALL OTHER REVIEWS. If you attend lectures, put effort in, and hand your papers in on time, you will do well. In the zoom lectures, he would literally tell us exactly what possible quiz questions will be. The quizzes were amazing because you would take the course content and apply it to your own story/experience. (I took this class Fall2022)

Dr Turner is overall nice prof. The grading sucks but that's not on him (blame the department). The class is hard and confusing but he is accessible outside class so you can always go to his office hours. As long as you understand concepts with personal examples you can do well in his quizzes. AI paper is also 30%. Fair grader as well.

Dr Turner has literally changed the trajectory of my life after taking his first year cogsci course I was left with an unbound passion, healthy interest, and hobby. Dr Turner made time to meet with me one on one on several occasions where he cemented a newfound confidence in myself that has continued to light my way in academia.

I found Dr. Turner to be a truly inspirational teacher who brought some interesting yet challenging topics into the course work! The written assignments helped immensely with in depth learning. He showed proficient knowledge and ability to convey the course material clearly and was always available to answer any questions students brought forward.

you're graded on 3 essays and 4 OPEN BOOK quizzes Jeremy gets slightly sidetracked in his lectures but he is a great teacher, it is obvious that he cares about his students and passionate about his work

Quizzes are open book but they are essay questions based on a personal experience and you only get thirty minutes for most of them so make sure you are somewhat prepared. For the actual essays, you should start early because he is big on citations and reading for those citations is where a bulk of my time goes. Online lectures were helpful.

Professor Turner is an excellent teacher and academic. His lectures were clear, concise, and entertaining to listen / engage to. The class had quizzes and some essays which your grade would be based on. A chill course, but stay up to date with lectures and readings. Lots of reading in this course as essays require original citations.great prof/clas

Great prof! His lectures are super interesting and he gives long breaks halfway through. Tests were stressful with only 30 minutes, but open book and graded fairly. The only thing prof is picky about is that everything is perfectly cited within the papers.

He's a great prof. Cogs 100 is a fun course and is a great elective to take. 4 quizzes and 2 essays. The AI essay is tough so study for that. Everything you need is in the lecture.

I really enjoyed this class. It was unfortunately disrupted by the strike so we did not get to go through the entire course material, but nonetheless it was a fun course to take. This course requires you to write a lot so be prepared for that.

Jeremy is a very interesting lecturer and you can tell he likes what he teaches, he tends to talk a lot during lectures but if you are paying attention you will be intrigued by what he has to say, lots of in-class writes and 2 essays, but they are fairly graded and if you pay attention in the lectures they should be easy to score decently

I loved having Jeremy as my professor. His lectures were always engaging and interesting, and he was always open to any questions students have about any of the course material. I found his lecturing style very engaging, as he was very good at breaking down more advanced concepts in such a way that it was very digestible.

Amazing prof, his class was very fun and engaging. It is lecture heavy but pretty straightforward and easy to follow. Missing lectures is not a good idea, you wouldn't want to anyway. Dr. turner is very approachable and you can ask questions during class. No midterm or final just quizzes which are pretty easy if you pay attention in lecture.

Take notes on ppt slides and you are good. Very engaging and fair tests, did weekly tests but they were fair as long as you listened to the lectures. Expect a lot of writing, but it was a lot of fun! Would take again

Dr. Turner is an amazing prof. He is very accommodating and funny. He is also super knowledgeable and makes lectures very engaging. Cogs 100 may be dense for first-year students as there are "new" terms for some people, but as a 5th-year student it's been lots of fun delving into the terms and theories in detail. Thanks Dr. Turner!

Great and caring prof, your grade is based on very fair quizzes and in-class assignments. If you show up to class you'll do great, still need to put in the work but a great class thats interesting with a cool prof and TA is also amazing.

Dr. Turner attempts to make lectures very engaging and is very caring when students want extra help or info, he is always up to help and is very pleased to do so. Easy in class open quizzes/essays, textbook is not needed but helps for additional info. GPA booster as long as you pay attention and are prepared for in class assignments

All I've had with him are four quiz essays, two invigilated longer essays, and one self-reflection type assignment. Lectures aren't mandatory to attend, but they're pretty interesting and you can tell he loves his class the way he expresses himself. If you love psychology and essay writing, this class is an easy GPA booster and so worth it.

Overall not a bad prof - really understanding and kind. Grading was 40% - open book quizzes, 50% - invigilated essay's, and 10% - for a final reflection assignment. Lectures can be quite tedious especially if not interested in material . He let us on multiple 30-40 min breaks at Surrey Campus. Gave the option to seek more material if interested

Jeremy was an amazing prof. I love that we didn't have any midterms or finals. All of the quizzes were open book and we were allowed to have our notes present. The TA also gave detailed feedback to help improve. I would highly recommend him as a professor and would definitely take a class with him again.

Very interesting prof impacted me in a way that caused a switch in my career outlook and Minor decision. Would take again. Good TA too, grades super-fast with good feedback and grade. He rambles a lot, and it might not be for everyone, but lectures are not mandatory anyway--everything is posted online.
