His test Q's are straight from his notes or straight from the assigned pages he gives to read. Interesting class, I liked him, he was really nice.

Great guy! really interesting class, can keep your attention, but sometimes he will talk forever about some examples he gives...in that case, just put your head down and take a nap, he doesn't care at all. Tests are real easy.

He is a very helpfull teacher and is willing to explain in depth if you need more help. It is easy for him to get off topic.

If you want an easy A take this guy, dont even need a book his test comes solely from the notes. Doesnt take attendance either, and he gives easy opinion papers for assignments.

Dr. Achee is an extremely nice guy, and he's an excellent teacher. I had him over the summer, and he deffinately made the 3.5 weeks that we had to complete the course interesting and bearable. Also, he goes in depth about topics that you will have to write essays on on the tests, and is very open to questions!!

His tests are extremely hard, his class in interesting but to get an A you WILL have to study very very hard.

Loved him!

AWESOME and EASY class! The tests come straight from the notes during lecture so go to class and study notes and will make an easy A. Will drop 1st test grade if 2nd and 3rd are better. Made it very interesting with cool examples! Really nice too, genuinely wants his students to do well

Achee knows his stuff, and he makes it interesting most of the time. The tests are easy if you go to class, read the assigned chapters, and use logic. I recommend him to anyone interested in the study of individuals!

I like him,he doesn't make the class boring like most of my other classes.You Rock!!!!!!!!!!

amazing teacher

He's really easy and works well with students. The class can get boring in times but if you follow his notes you'll do great on the test

I really enjoyed this class and I am now considering changing my major to Psychology. Dr. Achee's lectures are really interesting, reaction essays are easy, but the test are what makes or breaks your grade. It's not that the test are hard, they're thought provoking and if you don't know the material from mainly the lecture notes you won't do well

This class was pretty interesting although I fell asleep in lecture a few times. Makes sure to get all lecture notes for tests and study more than you think you need to b/c they're a little tricky.

GREAT Teacher! I really enjoyed this class. The material was interesting, and Achee presents it in an easy to understand way. He uses alot of examples and gives great explanations of key concepts. He also prepares his students very well for his tests.

Overall, good class. At first his class seems easy because he explains things very bluntly, but his tests can be very tricky. Make sure to over study for his tests because he can test over very random things in the book u might have overlooked. He's a very laid back fun guy though. Reaction papers are easy A's.

Dr. Achee was a fun teacher. Make sure to take detailed notes on the examples he gives for concepts - he tends to test over the examples on all the tests. Go to class, take notes, and study and you will have an A. Tests aren't like definition based tests, they are much more about applying the concepts and interpreting situations. Easy A though!!

best class ever...i got an A and never went to class just bought the student notes from the baxter st. bookstore and reading over them a few times before i took the test.

He gave very interesting lectures and always provided plenty of examples for concepts. The tests were challenging, but if you read the textbook and go to class, they should not be too bad.

The class is SO easy! Just read the book, and you are set. All essays are automatic 100s.

He was a great teacher! Grading was fair. You didn't necessarily had to come to class, if you bought the bookstore notes! And basically NO info from the test came from the book...the easiest class I've had yet at UGA, and a really great teacher who made it interesting! Be sure to take this class!

Really easy class, I took it may-mester II so it was short and that made it a little harder. . but it's definately an easy A

Very helpful teacher. Will answer questions in class. Our tests were entirely multiple choice and were pretty easy. Look over the bold words in the chapters and pay attention in class. Easy A.

Very useful lectures, really relevant to the exams. Sometimes lecture wasn't necessary, even, because the class was so easy, but it's useful to go to understand the way he tests. Provided interesting anecdotes and supporting research; very knowledgeable. A little strange to get used to at first, but great teacher overall. Lab portion very doable.

Classes can be boring and hard to pay attention to because all he des is lecture. Try to pay attention, and memorize the bold faced words in the book and it should be an easy B, an A is hard but not impossible.

the class was an easy b. sometimes (especially when tired) it could get pretty boring, but he made effort to make it possible. no attendance policy, test can be a bit tricky

He's kinda boring, but the class is a breeze. He is a nice guy and will try to help you as much as he can with your grade. Just take good notes and read the book. Good GPA booster for me.

I thought Achee's class was easy as long as you took notes. His tests were derived mainly from the notes. The last two tests taken were the most difficult but were still passable. I made A's on all my tests, but I went to class regularly and studied. It's overall an easy class.

not an easy a, but not hard. just go to class and take notes. his tests come straight from the notes.

I thought Achee was pretty interesting. His power points were far more exciting then many of my other teachers. His claim that your grade will probably depend on how many times you attend class is totaly true... GO TO CLASS and TAKE NOTES .. study from notes and read the chapters.. you get what you put into his class :) i enjoyed it

Great class!! As long as you go to class and take notes exams arent hard at all. Hes a good lecturer and makes the class pretty interesting, although he can be repetative at times. He is a pretty interesting guy and makes class enjoyable

very helpful and not too hard. took over the summer and would have had an A but it was my first college class and I bombed the first test

I took his class over the summer, and he was very helpful. He gave us a lot of easy short "reaction papers", which meant an automatic A. His tests came from the notes and the part of the book he told us it would come from. He dropped a lot of the test questions that everyone missed.

Go to class, pay attention, take notes. The tests come from the notes and parts of the book. Study buddies help for the tests. Short reaction papers help boost the grade. Overall good class.

Ok class.lectures were somewhat interesting,but test were fairly tricky.their were multiple answers that could be considered as correct for most questions.some of the questions were pretty ridiculous.

This class is not very hard at all. If you go to class and take good notes you will do well on the tests. He assigns brief reaction papers that help boost your grade, and the final isn't cumulative. He is a little repetitive, but very clear! Good class overall.

I loved going to this class. He makes things interesting

Great teacher, that's allI have to say. class was easy but if you wanted to learn he was happy to answer deeper questions

Great teacher! He is interesting and knows a lot about psychology. I would take this class again in a heartbeat. You need to go to class because most of the test is from the notes. If you go to class, skim the book, and study your notes it is a very easy A!

This is a very interesting subject, and Achee makes it very easy to understand the basics. This is a very easy introductory course. As long as you attend class to hear his mostly entertaining lectures and skim the book and look over notes, you will get a B or above.

This is an awesome professor! He's very clear about what you need to know and he's also really funny. He makes the study of psychology interesting and fun! I would highly recommend taking this professor's class!

This guy really was a good teacher. I skipped class a lot and didn't read the book and skimmed by with B's. He tries to tell interesting stories that relate. His tests were pretty easy, but he always throws a few questions from the book that weren't covered in class.

Great teacher. Good at explaining things/making up stories. (This helped me to memorize important concepts) Definitely read the book because some questions are totally from the book. Fun class. You will like it. Got an A. Come to class.

Read the book! Taking notes help, but get notes from friends in other psych classes too, there are quizzes online that coordinate with the text. He drops the first test if its your lowest, papers are really easy and almost everyone get 100s. Tests are straight from book.

He makes the class interesting and he is really funny! I really enjoyed this class!

the class was very interesting and it was somewhat enjoyable..but the tests were really difficult and tricky..if you didn't take all the notes you could you probably won't do well and you have to read the chapters. i thought it was overall difficult for a psych 1101 class

He's very good at explaining concepts. Go to class and the tests aren't tough. You dont really need the book, its helpful if u missed something in class tho. He gives funny examples that make the class better. U have to write 3 papers but everyone gets 100s on them. Definitely recommended

Really great teacher. Easy class, really interesting. He can go on and on sometimes, but really knows his stuff. I suggest taking this class for a fun and easy "A"

Hes a pretty interesting teacher. Likes to make class interesting. Its a REALLY easy A if you attend class, take notes, and study before the exams. Exams are multiple choice mainly from notes. A few questions may pop out from reading assignmens. Overall great teacher.

Super understanding and caring professor. His tests aren't difficult as long as you read the book and go over the notes. Attendance is not mandatory, but I'd recommend that you go in order to do well on the tests. Lecture is pretty interesting and easy to follow. He also doesn't care what you do in class, as long as you aren't being disruptive.

Attendance is not mandatory but some questions on the test consist of class examples. He has a good sense of humor and he is fair but not overly nice. I hardly ever studied and still pulled a B in the class. I would take him again if I had to take this class over.

This was a very interesting class, and Achee was one of the best professors I have ever had. His tests were mostly from his lectures, so you have to go to class and take good notes. Would highly recommend him, even if you're not interested in psychology!

GREAT CLASS! Very interesting, and Achee is a good lecturer. I enjoyed attending class, and the tests really weren't too difficult at all. Making flash cards is a good idea to study for his tests because he covers a lot of definition-type questions on them. Highly recommended.

Cool teacher, but can sometimes be incredibly boring. As long as you read the book and attend class it's an easy A.

I enjoyed going to this class; Dr. Achee is a great teacher. He is very knowledgeable and invites discussion. He is fair when listening to other's viewpoints and explains things really well. Tests were challenging, but if you studied they were fair. Great class.

I found Prof. Achee's class to be very interesting. He's pretty funny although sometimes his jokes are lame. But he gives good examples and his notes are easy to follow. I barely opened my book, two or three questions per test are from book only but with common sense you can guess it. And research papers are so easy i got 100's on all.

Very comprehensive in his lectures, however, you must still read the required portions of the text. Tests can be tricky but are not unreasonable by any means. I thoroughly enjoyed this class but I didn't think it was easy. ps. attendance is not mandatory but I would recommend it!

Great teacher! he is one of the best lecturers i have had. has a good tone to keep you interested and is super helpful. i recommend him.

Achee is really friendly and approachable. His lectures are clear and he makes them interesting. The class was not hard and I enjoyed it.

Very interesting, lectures were very clear. Never monotone or boring. Did grade papers strict, but tests weren't hard at all. If you study and listen in lecture, you'll do great. He always outlines exactly what will be on the test. Great teacher!!

Take this class if you can! The lectures are never boring, he's there to help whenever you need it, and the tests were all multiple choice when I took it.

The best professor I had at UGA!! He made lecture interesting and his teaching style makes you want to pay attention. No homeworks, tests aren't hard as long as you read the textbook, come to class and take notes.

I loved this teacher! He was so nice & his tests were really easy. As long as you know the general topics of the material then this class should be an easy A. He is really funny and makes lectures interesting!

Great professor. Made the class interesting. Read in the book what he tells you to and take decent notes. I made an A.

I loved this Class! Dr. Achee was hilarious! Reading the book helps, but most of the tests come straight from lecture notes. Take him if you have the opportunity!

Dr. Achee was really cool. Lectures were always interesting and threw in a couple jokes. Test-wise, they're straight from the notes with 2-4 questions from the book. Try to attend every class and take good notes. His test are not bad at all but you must understand the material and apply it. Paper-wise, just do it and you got a 100.

Prof. Achee was awesome! Always kept class interesting and his test were very straight forward. The papers were a joke, as long as you did them you'd get a 100. I would recommend him to everyone- just plan on attending class regularly.

Professor Achee was great! Class is not mandatory. You could easily get an A on his tests just by reading the textbook, but I suggest going to class because some of his examples used in class are on the test. Or if you just don't wanna read the book, you can still easily get an A just by attending lectures. EASY and INTERESTING!!!

Achee is AWESOME!! The class was super easy and he was really interested in what he was talking about. I loved this class. Easy A if you study.

His lecture style is very conducive to taking good notes because he repeats the key points many times in a way that is easy to write down. The subject matter was interesting. He doesn't care if you come to class or pay attention. Go over notes and skim textbook to do fine on tests.

Dr. Achee is one of the best psychology professors I've had. His style emphasizes knowing WHAT you're doing, not just plugging in numbers. He answers all questions readily and sees when the class does not "get it." A very positive experience. Labs aren't necessary, but were easy enough to handle and occasionally have an in class assignment.

He is a good teacher but he goes way too slow. He takes 4 weeks to cover one concept which can be a good thing because not much is there in the tests. It maybe easier than other 3990s but you may learn less, but if u don't care much about stat in psyc and like easy, TAKE HIM!

Great professor. Take whenever the chance arises.

Achee is the best professor for Psychology 1101. I earned a B because I hardly did anything, but an A is definitely possible. His tests are straight from the notes and reading the chapters is not necessary but helps. Also, attendance is mandatory, but try not to miss too much. There are 3 required essays, but they are 1 page and easy! TAKE HIM.

Great class! Take it if you can! As long as you take good notes, study them, and skim through the book you will be fine for tests. Papers are graded easily, do not worry too much over them.

He's a great teacher and great at explaining concepts, but he does talk in circles and even though you know the material perfectly, the tests are so tricky it's on of those tests that are "A and B" or "none of the above." tests that can really get you. He's a great teacher in all but it is hard to do well since 90% are test scores.

Professor Achee is extremely knowledgeable and his lectures are interesting. I would definitely recommend this class!

Dr. Achee was a great professor and very interesting. Just go to class, take good notes, study them = A.

Loved the class and loved the teacher! He's a nice, funny guy.... Easy & fairly straightforward tests as long as you read the book and take notes in class. Tests are the only thing that makes up your grade so you need to do well on them...but I skipped class quite a bit and still made A's on them all. Just get the notes from someone.

Kind of distracting lecture style at times, but his tests all come from the stuff he covers most in class and also from the textbook. I loved this class and loved Dr. Achee's approach.

This class is pretty easy and straightforward. Sometime he forgets what he mentioned in each class but he is good about awarding points back on tests. The essays are graded easily. I would suggest this class, but only if you are willing to study.

Achee was the reason I changed my major to psychology. So freakin' funny and interesting - a GREAT professor. Makes everything understandable and the content was fascinating. Take good notes (not a problem with the way he lectures) and you'll be fine with tests. 3 essays, but they are easy. TAKE HIM IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!!!

really boring class since it is incorporating stat into psych and talks all about the research side of psych. he's really nice though and willing to help. his tests are kind of confusing with his wording. multiple choice (about 30 each test) and some short answer.

Dr. Achee often goes off on tangents in class. Make sure you pay attention, as you will often be tested on these tangents. Tests come almost solely from notes, but make sure you at least look over the chapters before taking the test.

Sometimes he gets off on tangents but overall the material is very clear and the tests are relatively easy. But know his lectures are less copying words off a slide and more writing down the important things he says. The power points are very bare and a lot of information comes from what he says and is also in the book if you miss something.

If you do what you're supposed to do, you'll get a good grade. You need the textbook because he does use info from that from tests, and go to class!! Many people in class who didn't do well on tests missed questions specifically from the lecture. He's a great professor, I would definitely take him again.

He's a great teacher. 3980 is super boring because its research design, but he makes it bearable. My FAVORITE thing about him is that he will do whatever is fair as far as grading goes. Your grade reflects how you perform. If you try even just a little you'll be fine!

Thought this would be an easy class, but its not. Attendance is not mandatory but go to class every time because his tests come straight from the notes. Study, Study, Study, Did not enjoy this class even though the material is interesting.

Super funny professor. You have to go to class to pass, but he does not take attendance. Definitely would recommend him to everyone.

Great professor! I did not really need the book. I just took really good notes during lecture and made an A in the class. 4 tests make up entire grade, no papers. Interesting lectures. He has a fun personality.

Achee is a cool guy and I see why everyone likes him ,but his tests will make you hate him at times. He is one of those professors that makes tricky questions knowing that students will disagree with the answers. If you pay attention in class you should do fine though for tests. Lecture and the book were equally beneficial for tests!

Pretty straightforward with what he expects from you. Tests are all multiple-choice and made from the lectures & the textbook (you'll need both.) Pretty easy class if you attend and read the book.

Dr. Achee's class wasn't too hard, but his tests are extremely short and can have some tricky questions, so if you miss a couple, it's a lot of points off. However, a lot of times he does curve it a couple points, and is willing to look at questionable points taken off free response questions. Read the book and make sure to study similar terms

Very easy if you show up to class and pay attention. His lectures are engaging and easy to understand, and he is very receptive to questions. Tests are way easy if you take notes in class and read over assigned sections in the book (though there are way more lecture questions than book questions on tests). Made an A easily. He's pretty funny too!

Very short reaction papers and very passable test. If you come to class and take notes, you'll definitely pass. Skim over the assigned chapter, but really focus on what he says in the lecture and his examples that he gives you.

Achee is a decent professor and I'd take him again. A certain exam was pretty difficult because he used the same question and changed little things about it which made it extremely confusing. He doesn't post his slides on elc, so attend class, take good notes, read the chapters and most likely you'll do well. The grade is based on 6 exams.

Intro PSYC was pretty enjoyable with Achee, especially if you're interested in the material. It is a lecture hall, so be prepared to mainly listen to him talking every class (but the topics are interesting!). Reading the book helps to understand lectures and tests better. As long as you pay attention in this class and take good notes, you'll be ok!

Awesome and funny guy. He really wants you to pass and he makes psych easy and interesting. Plus he makes you feel like an adult. Would take again!

Achee tries to make the class as enjoyable as possible (ie quirky jokes), but let's be real, it's a lecture class. Thankfully, most of the topics are cool enough to keep you interested, but maybe not the whole time. There are 4 tests and 3 response papers. There's also a textbook that he recommends you read, but it really isn't necessary.

He's a very interesting professor who goes out of his way to provide relevant examples and make sure the class understands everything. The only thing to look out for is the research requirement -- 6.5 hours for a freshman-level class. Get it done as quickly as you can so you're not scrambling at the last minute.

Achee teaches an amazing intro to psych class. Unlike many of the other professors who teach this class, he doesn't assign extra work outside of class except for readings and a grand total of 3 essays throughout the whole semester. His lectures are entertaining, and you need to go to class to hear them. His lectures are exactly what's on the test.

Really good professor that cares about teaching. Pscyh 1101 was so easy and his tests were tricky but fair. Go to class and take notes and you'll maybe need to study an hour or two before the test. Great class.

Achee is a wonderful teacher. He goes in depth with the lectures and really makes it more appealing. He does not give extra credit which is the only down side and there were 6 tests worth 90% of your grade. No out of class homework except for 3 easy papers. His class was super enjoyable, but its required you go to class to do good on the tests.

I had him for both Research Design and Social Psych. Very good professor; has clear powerpoints and expands on those with detailed lectures and examples. Definitely pay attention to the examples he gives in class, because he will use them (or similar ones) on the test. He gave 6 tests and no other assignments.

His lectures teach you a lot. The tests are pretty much a replica of the homework, so do them! You don't get great feedback on grades, also it takes a while to get the grades back. He allows you to skip your final if you're happy with your grade (which you'll want to do since it's cumulative) Lab was boring but it was easy. Doesn't respond to email

Super easy class, easier than 3980 in my opinion. While not super organized, Dr. Achee is very to the point and clearly wants everyone to do well in his class. As long as you go to class most of the time, go to every lab, and occasionally take notes, you'll probably get an A unless you just really cannot grasp basic statistics.

I loved Achee for 3990. Coming in I was kind of worried, I had gotten a B in STAT 2000, but I ended up with a 99 in the class. Your grade is calculated from 6 tests and a lab percentage. The tests are STUPID easy. EXACTLY the same types of problems from the homework he assigns. Would recommend going to class, he's funny and it makes the tests easy.

achee was an interesting professor. His course is mostly statistics and little psychology. I took him for summer. It was fast paced but manageable. Math use to be my weakness but not anymore with him. If you take him for fall and spring, I'm sure you will be more relaxed. Overall, it's a easy class. Only problem, he talks fast. Bring voice recorder

Dr. Achee was a great psych teacher. His class was interesting and not too difficult. I suggest showing up, take notes and read your book. You really don't need to study very much if you pay attention in class. Just understand the concepts. You don't really need to memorize. Take psych with John!

John is pretty funny, and the class is not too hard, but man does he ramble. He can talk about the same thing for an entire class.

He doesn't take attendance, but it is practically mandatory to attend class because he doesn't post any of his powerpoints online. His class isn't hard but you definitely have to write down everything he says and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD read the textbook! His class is absolutely manageable and he is a great professor! Study for the tests & get an A.

He is a funny professor and his tests don't cover large sections of the book so preparation is fairly easy. Seems like a great guy despite the fact that he will repeat the same point about 30 times in the same class period. If you read the book and take notes it will be an easy A. Make sure to attend class though as he can be very specific.

go to class and pay attention and read the textbook. Pretty easy class.

AMAZING!! love Achee so much, I've taken intro, social, and 3990 with him and I wish I could take more. Never takes attendance, but you need to go to class cause that is what the test is over, but honestly you will want to go to class with this guy. funny, smart, easy A if you show up and try. Honestly i recommend his intro to none psych majors

good teacher, interesting subject, tests aren't the worst. Interesting lectures that cover the majority of the test.

He mumbles at times and can be very repetitive during lecture. Overall, his class is pretty easy, but you need to pay attention during most lectures because he likes to ask questions specifically about things we talked about at length. I read the book the night before the exam (there are 6) and got A's on most of them. The 3 papers are easy A's.

I love this man. He presents material in an interesting way and is a fair grader, throwing out exam questions if it's clear he didn't explain something well, didn't explain it at all, or if for some other reason students who otherwise did well all missed them. Good sense of humor, but occasionally a bit of jerk. Exams emphasize lectures.

Achee is a pretty nice guy and the class is pretty easy. His tests are based right of the homework so as long as you study your homework and pay the slightest bit of attention in class then you will get an easy A. Seriously not a hard class and a really chill professor.

Dr. Achee is so funny and made this class interesting! 6 tests and 3 papers. Basically everyone gets a 95 on the papers- get a 100 if you put in extra effort (put on a cover sheet and do an abstract, etc.). Nonexistent attendance policy, but tests stem mostly from what's covered in class. You have to read the book to get an A on the tests, though.

I really enjoyed Dr. Achee's class! There are 6 tests and 3 papers. The papers are pretty simple. The tests are 90% of your final grade, and the 3 papers are 10% of your final grade. Attendance is not mandatory, but you should come to class in order to do well on the tests. Also, make sure to read the book!

Took his course fall of last year. His lectures were interesting and informative. The tests and papers were a reasonable workload, and I overall enjoyed the course.

Achee is a solid choice fo intro to psych. He's knowledgeable and understanding. My only complaint is that there seemed to be a test every 2 weeks. Overall and easy A if you pay attention and look over vocab in the readings.

GO TO CLASS! This is not a hard class but he does throw out information that isn't in the textbook that will be on the exams because he knows that a lot of people skip his class. He gives out a lot of tests throughout the semester (6 in my case) and a few papers. Also read the textbook, not everything is covered in lecture.

Achee is the man. Should be an easy A if you go to class and take notes (important) and read what you're supposed to, his tests are a mix of lecture and textbook. 3 papers that should be easy A's if you do what you're supposed to (not hard). The class is interesting and the right difficulty for an intro. Take him.

I had Achee for Psych 3990 and jumped at the chance to have him for social psych. Test questions are pretty straight forward and pulled directly from the lecture with a few questions coming from the textbook. One thing I like about Achee's class is that he gives 6 test so there is more than enough room to mess up and still make a good grade

Take him for 3990 because the exams are JUST like the homework and it's so easy that you don't need to go to lecture, but it is helpful.

I took Dr. Achee this past spring 2017 his class was easy; attendance was not mandatory but the questions on his test were straight from lecture so if you did not go then good luck on the test. Only 4 or 5 questions pulled from chapter reading, but those 4 or 5 made a difference between A and B on test so read! His lectures are wonderful!

hes funny and makes the class interesting!!!!!!

Dr. Achee is awesome. I took him during Freshco and he understood our limited time to study and really worked with us. He made the lectures super interesting, a little dry at times, but still enjoyable. He loves to talk about sex... just a heads up. Go to class. READ. MOST of the test is from the lectures, but there are some from the book.

Dr. Achee was an excellent and understanding professor during FreshCo. He cares about our workload as students, so he ended up replacing our lowest test score and didn't make us write our second paper (which was easy anyways). READ THE TEXTBOOK, and you'll get an A. Get ready for lots of study tips, sex talks, and a pretty solid class choice!

I took the June/July session of this course. If you go to class, take the notes, do the homework the night before the test you will do fine. Tests are basically the homework questions again. Equation sheet on test. Do not stress about this!!

Loved this class and this teacher!! Recommend taking this class; super interesting. He has a weird sense of humor but you catch on after a while.

Don't be fooled by his hard exterior, he is truly the nicest and kindest professor I have gotten to know. He truly cares about his students. I would choose him as a professor every chance I got. Don't miss class, its crucial info, but he explains everything so well. Do the homework -- It's just like the test. Amazing

Great professor. If you come to class and do the homework, you'll do well. There's a lot of tests (like 6), but he models the tests after the homework so there are no surprises. His teaching style is slightly abnormal (don't expect a powerpoint), but he makes sure to explain things clearly. Highly recommend.

Achee is a great professor and if you want to pass this class you have got to go to class, do the homework, and understand the material. If you screw around the entire semester, like I did, there is a fail safe by taking the final, but I would not recommend it. Just do your work, go to class, and pay attention and youll make an A!

Dr. Achee is a very interesting lecturer who keeps classes entertaining and makes sure you understand the concepts presented in lecture through copious explanation and examples. There are 4 tests worth 20% each, and 2 papers worth 10%. Only went though about half of the textbook. Pretty easy to get an A if go to lecture and read the book.

His class is VERY easy. It's exactly like what he expects in class. If you just attend class, he will literally repeat what's on the test and mention if something is on the tests. Tests are very very easy!! But, he was very snarky and rude to us (maybe cause we were morning) so that was offputting but forget personality when he's an easy A!!

A solid choice for psych, but he makes you work to get an A. You really need to read the textbook and understand the material... not just memorize it. The tests are mainly based on situations and application of the material, so if you memorized everything you're screwed. He's funny and you can tell he loves what he does.

Here is the deal with this class. Go to every single class because the tests are quite literally based on the Homework assignments and lecture notes. Don't bother getting the book because it won't really help you on the test (6 of them). He will literally tell you what will be on the test, so go to class. Take notes. Go to lab. Easy A.

I took Achee for 4200 and 3990. He was AMAZING for 4200 but awful for 3990. In 3990 all the tests came straight from the HW and Lectures, he was not very helpful in any way and rarely actually answered questions. In 4200 if you just read the book and never go to class you'll still get an A and he's extremely helpful with questions.

GO TO CLASS!! Tests are 90% of your grade. Most of test questions are taken from lecture, so take good notes!! A very small amount of questions are from the textbook, so get the main ideas from each section and you should be successful on tests. I never got below an 88% by doing this. The other 10% are essays reflecting on psychology. Easy A.

Though the class is based on lectures, Dr. Achee kept them very interesting. He specifically designs the tests to benefit those who attend class, so go to class!! I would also recommend reading (or at least looking over) the book, as he does pull some questions from the text. You also have three papers that are due the class period before the test.

Dr. Achee is a fair teacher, but he is tough. His lectures are amazing, and he keeps it very interesting. Although attendance isn't mandatory, going to class would make an easy A. There are only 6 tests, and he has a policy where if you get a higher grade on every test after the first, he will replace that test with the lowest of the 5.

I took the honors class so attendance wasn't mandatory. Dr. Achee is such a good teacher and makes the concepts he's discussing so interesting & class is fun. He's awkward and funny and grades fairly. Tests aren't hard if you study notes. COME TO CLASS cause tests are 90% notes. 2 papers if you take honors but open ended and fun. No HW. Take it!!

I love Achee. His lectures are entertaining, and he's very helpful. The homework helps a lot. There are about 6 tests, which sounds like a lot, but it means that each test is on a smaller array of topics, making it easier to study for. I would definitely recommend Achee as long as you're ready to take focused notes.

Really nice guy, but the class in general is pretty boring so it is hard to stay focused. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you need to be there or else you'll be confused because each lecture builds. Most of the tests are exactly like the homework, so they're not too difficult. As long as you don't skip and pay attention this is an easy A.

The class is very doable and really easy to understand ONLY if you attend every single lecture. You can truly understand what he is looking for by listening to him in class. Do the homework and understand it fully and you will do well on the tests 100%. Final is optional if you do well on the 6 lecture exams.

Pay attention in class and read the textbook and youll do fine.

Class was pretty easy. 4 tests, 2 papers, that's it. Didn't love the lectures but not bad, talks about a lot of current topics, but be prepared for a liberal side rant every so often.

This course is very lecture based. I would highly recommend going to class. If you go to class regularly, the tests will not be that hard. As long as you study the lecture material and skim the book, it should be an obtainedable A- or A.

80 percent of the grade are tests. Personally, I did not think the tests were difficult. However, I do recommend going to lectures even though it is not mandatory. You are guaranteed to understand the tests and material better. Two papers, and he was very fair on grading them. I do recommend this professor :)

Go to class, take decent notes, and read the few assigned chapters and you'll be fine! Although his lectures may be long and sometimes repetitive, I found his examples interesting and overall enjoyed going. Tests are not horrific and he gives you lots of freedom in your papers and grades fairly. Many negative reviews but I recommend it.

I took Achee during covid and it was okay. All we had to was read the textbook and do our assignments. Its a lotttt of reading but its not too bad. We were mostly on our own but it wasnt hard to get an A. As long as you read the textbook and go to class. No complaints but could have been better.

He is a very interesting teacher who is passionate. I took him online due to covid and it was a very easy class. Homework due every monday and wednesday but its not hard at all. Quiz every friday and a test every couple of chapters. No essays!! Everything was easy considering its all on quizlet lol

I loved Professor Achee. Because of corona, we were mostly online and anyone who wanted to pop in on the zoom could. The class is what you make of it. If you decided to participate, you will learn a lot, and if you decide to just take the tests and do the bare minimum, then you can do just as well, depends on you. Zooms were optional.

Professor Achee is a pretty good professor. Although he didn't post many lecture videos, the content is fairly straightforward. The class is a lot of reading with a few assignments due during the week. We had quizzes every friday (150 questions in 30 min) and 3 tests. No essays!!

This psych class turned into an online class due to covid. Zooms were optional to ask questions, but otherwise he just posted some recorded lectures each week. There is a lot of reading, but there is little homework, and it's easy. There's a weekly quiz and an exam every few units. I got an A fairly easily and would take this class again.

Very easy class, but lots of work and Professor Achee can be condescending at times. That said, he is very understanding and is clearly passionate about psychology. Easy A if you study.

This is the only review that I've done bc I didn't like to see people hating on John. I enjoyed the lectures and the class was easy. Super interesting class

I did not enjoy sitting through his lectures as he would typically go on and on about the same thing. it was easier for me to read the textbook and take notes on my own schedule then going to class and sitting through him talking. not an easy a but definitely easy work as it is just 4 open note tests and 3 short papers

you have frequent tests that cover less material which i prefer. i don't think he is that bad. there is a chance you will hate him though, it is very dependent on the person. he knows his stuff. mc questions are book material and written questions are very lecture based. going to class helped and his lectures made sense. mid but i would take again

Took him for Social psychology as well Cognitive psychology. Social psychology was extremely hard and I ended with a B but the Cognitive psychology was not as bad. Once you actually go to class he would give you most of the information you need for the written responses. Overall I think he is a good person.

Achee gets a bad rep on this website and in the psych undergrad community at UGA, but I just don't agree. He picks online great learning tools like mindtap and psych learn that he just grades for completion, meaning easy 100 on those. All tests are online and open note. DO NOT GO TO HIS LECTURES. They're TERRIBLE, but overall he's fair and easy

Reading and studying the textbook is necessary for success in the class. He is pretty easygoing and tries to keep the class engaging.

I loved this class. The material is really interesting and his lectures are easy to understand. Homework is SO easy and fun, I actually looked forward to doing it. You should not skip class because he gives examples that will be on the tests. Get your research hours in ASAP, these are fun too. 3 short papers, 6 tests, frequent but easy homework.

Solid teacher with interesting lectures. Easy homework but there is a decent amount each week. Tests are a mix of textbook and examples given in the lecture. Overall, pretty good class.
