Lectures and tests do not correspond well. Questions on tests are not very concise and are worded in a tricky way. Not happ with his teaching style and difficult to get a hold of by e-mail.
Easy A.I found him to be very helpful, Exams seemed to be common knowledge. Never got below a B on exams. Used to be a high school teacher so he has good interpersonal skills with students. Would definitly take him again.
Found him to be very nosey, his assignments in the beginning of class were not normal *asking personal questions and such*.... his lectures would not match the tests so that was confusing. Study guides were filled with too many terms and not exactly helpful. Also his quizzes(daily) were very anal.
He seems very passionate about teaching, and always used interesting examples to illustrate the concepts we were learning in our class. He uses class time effectively and always seemed to have a clear plan about what he would cover in the lecture. I was never bored or sleepy and I usually have a hard time keeping attention in evening classes. To
Professor Bryan was always prepared and included video clips that were fascinating. I found his lectures engaging and smart. He used cutting edge data from recent research not found in the textbook. Overall, I really enjoyed the class and highly recommend him as a teacher to anyone entering the study of psychology.
Hes awesome! Very clear and helpful. I really enjoyed the class and he used great examples.
He's very nice and has great teaching skills. His classes are always interesting. Go for it!
An excellent and engaging professor - keeps interest and moves quickly enough to avoid academic boredom! Would recommend to anyone with interest in psychology and willingness to commit to attending class consistently.
John Bryan is extraordinary organized with his teaching material. He displays an eagerness in presenting his lectures. His sense of humor puts students at ease. He is respectful and professional.
John Bryan is a brilliant mind. His teaching skills outweigh any psychology professor I have ever encountered as he used present-time examples and uses recent research to get his points across. His vocabulary is easily understood and the work is very consistent with the ever changing field of psychology. I completely recommend this professor.
I would recommend this class and the taecher to everyone and anyone.Professor Bryan is patient and shows that he is passionate about what he does and how he can help others.
Good personality, great teacher all together. thanks
Very nice! very interesting class and he is a nice guy
hes soo helpful and so nice. he makes the class really interesting, and very easy to comprehend. Take this class!
his class was very interesting i learned a lot when the opportunity presented itself.
Great teacher and very funny. Makes the class enjoyable!
excellent teacher. You can tell he loves what he does. Most of what i learned in that class i have retained the information, and that's an accomplishment for myself and the teacher. He really makes sure you understand and remeber the material. Great class discussions, tests cover the material learned, and very helpful teacher.
makes the subject intresting
This professor was great. He made the class very interesting. Always looked forward to going to class. Very easy going and approachable.
I loved going to this class! Always interesting and fun.
i would recommend Prof. Bryan as a psychology teacher, if you attend each class session you should get an A. He's great!
Would take the prof again, good professor
You will Love being in Mr. Bryan's pysch class!!! i recommend Bryan to any student interest in the world of Psychology. :D
This was a really fun class, there are very few teachers who I feel I have really learned from and Mr. Bryan was an awesome teacher! I really liked this class. He likes to show movies as well. This is really cool because I learned a lot from this as well.
John bryan is a great teacher. He makes the class fun as well as interesting. Teats are easy if just listen. Tests are based on what he talks about in class. But there a good amount of projects, about 3 to 4 and there easy.
class is way interesting then i fist belived it would be
This was a vedry informative class. John is an excellent professor/instructor.
great teacher
this teacher is awesome! if you are sure to attend every class you will for sure pass the class because you will be passing all of his tests. you wont open the book unless you miss the class. this is MY kind of teacher. =]]
This class is a very easy class. It is fun and interesting. Great Teacher!
He is a really great teacher and if u dont fill like goen to classes u will cause he is an interesting and fun. But watch out he might try to rap for you lol.
Overall the best teacher I have had at MSJC. He sincerely cares about the subject and has great passion for his students. He does a great job of making sure his stduents are understanding the material as well. I would recommned him for any student. On top of his great teaching, he is a great person.
he is super
Great Teacher! Lectures and Videos. There are projects but fun to do.
This class is pretty fun with his activities and videos that relate to the lessons. Bryan's a really nice guy whom you can tell likes his job. He gives reasonable tests, which are a breeze if you show up to class and read what's required of you.
Great teacher. Avoid if you seriously hate Oprah!
Fantastic Teacher. It is very easy to tell that he enjoys teaching the subject. He'll teach you many interesting facts and relates everything in his class to real world events. TAKE THIS CLASS! IT IS AN EASY A!!!
he was very clear durning lectures and helped those who didnt understand.
great teacher, very well planned, and great at lectures
john is informitve and fair attedance is mandatory if you want to pass. I would recommend this teacher to anyone
John was a great teacher.Textbook was great and easy to follow. His lectures were really clear and organized. If you maintained a good attendance then you would be able to pass all the tests. The group project, for me, I hated it and it didn't even work out. He uses video clips that really help to clarify what he's lecturing.
I took this class as a requirement for entering the nursing program. I thouroughly enjoyed the class, learned a lot, and found the suject matter very useful in day to day life. Mr. Bryan was a very knowledgeable professor who was approachable, and made class fun. I learned alot in this class and may decide to further my education in psychology.
Loved this class, learned a lot of useful things. Enjoyed the use of video incorporated in lectures. Didn't like the group project though. He was an excellent teacher, i highly recommend him if you are at all interested in psychology.
i don't think that clasmates should grade our test because some of us don't like other to see our test grade
Teacher was really nice, made that extra effort to make converstation with you. I would recommend this professor to anyone that takes psychology 101 @ msjc...
good class. very interesting
Mr. Bryan's class was very enlightening and he made everything interesting by his way of teaching. Attendance is important since there are quizes most class days, and tests are pretty easy if you study.
Tests are Hard. You need to be in class everyday to get total points. The class is a bit boring, his style of teaching is way too fast for me and he talks way to fast. He will have you do a project worth a 100 points and it sucks, it's not easy!! He is a nice guy and can have some humor. If you want an easy A don't take this class just an fYI, you
Funny! changes the class up; videos, group activities, in-class exercises, encourages class participation, respectful, ends the semester with a bang!
Very nice teacher. Pretty easy class. The teacher doesn't expect much of you. You can always walk in to class late or leave early. If your absent you cannot make up the quizzes. Other than that I recommend taking the class it was very helpful and fun.
Good class. Pretty easy as long as you go everyday because you need the lectures for the tests which can be hard if you did not make it to all of the classes.
I enjoyed Mr. Bryan's class very much. The class is pretty straight forward and Mr. Bryan makes it interesting and fun. As long as you go you will get a good grade because majority of his tests are based on his lectures. We would watch a lot of interesting videos. You will have to do a group project and that is the only thing that sucks.
He knows what he is talking about and he helps you with everything you have a question with. I would take this class again just for fun!
pretty easy class, exams are easy if you attend class for the lectures and his grading is pretty decent and easy! great professor, nice, friendly and great personality
This guy is great. He is on the top of his game in terms of this subject. He is highly recommended
This was an enjoyable class. The lectures are interesting with the use of videos and fun activities. Attendance is a must. Take good notes and you will do fine on the tests. My only complaint was the group project, it was extremely stressful! Other than that, Mr. Bryan is a great teacher. :)
All Around Good Guy..
He's a good teacher. but i don't like the projects in class.. really didn't interesting at all
He is an amazing professor!! Very compassionate, funny, and a great speaker. I really enjoyed going to this class because I would ALWAYS learned something interesting. This is an easy A as long as you have great attendance and study!
he is the best professor! i realllllly enjoyed this class and he really made me into psychology!
I REALLY LIKE THIS TEACHER HE IS REALLY HELPFUL AND EASY I GOT GOOD GRADES ON ALL OF HIS TESTS ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS STUDY THE NOTES AND YOU WILL ACE ALL THE TESTS HE IS ALSO REALLY NICE AND IS VERY EASY I REALLY RECOMMEND HIM.
Mr. Bryan is a very fair professor. His assignments help you understand the material. I would recommend him to anyone who needs or wants to take psychology. His tests are pretty easy too:)
Hes a great teacher very unbiased
A very nice, dependable instructor. Always polite and always has a smile on his face. Had the opportunity to learn so much but at the same time the work WAS NOT insufferable and frustrating, made it easy to learn. Everyone got along really well and had a blast. Thank you Mr. Bryan!
Very good teacher! He keeps it interesting! Its never boring and his test are all the same and fairly easy as long as u study
Very efficient teacher. Really tries to connect with his students and understand where they are coming from.
Mr. Bryan is very helpful and conserned about his students. I recommand taking his class.
He is a very good teacher. doesn't give a lot of work. very fair with grades. and makes class very interesting. i recommend taking his class.
I found this class to be very interesting. The professor is very nice and he is understanding. You must attend all his classes as he gives lectures before the test and a lot of the questions are from his lectures. He makes you do 1 major group project that depending on your group it can be a good thing or bad. I highly recommend this professor.
The class was helpful and fun. Mr.Bryan made subjects simpler with the way he explained things. He tried to put everything in the simplest form possible.
He is a very good teacher and explains things very well.Attendance is very important because he lectures every class. He lets you know what will be on the test before its given. His stories are interesting and only requires one major group project that can be fun. I would recommend him to anyone hes a great teacher.
One of the most reasonable and truly objective teachers I have had.
Very very interactable with the class, which for me was extremely helpful and made it interesting. it was my hardest class but my favorite. He doesnt really talk about the text book in class well at least its not used but he DOES use the review questions in the back for portions in all the tests. A very good class and teacher.
Loved the class, very interesting material and I thought the book was excellent and very easy to read and very interesting. I would recommend this class to everyone who needs a psych class. The activities were entertaining and the lecture was very clear and specific. Loved the class. The doctor has spoken!
John Bryan is a really good teacher and it's always interesting to hear what he has to say. Just be sure to take a lot of notes during his lectures and read the textbook and you should be fine in the class. He is a really generous grader. Overall, you'll learn a lot in his class and have some fun.

I enjoyed this class. Mr Byran made all of the information very learner friendly! I appreciated how much he interacted with the class considering it was a 3 hour class. Lectures were interesting. You must read the book inorder to pass the tests. No homework other than reading and 2 projects. DO NOT MISS A CLASS!
Class was really interesting with all the visual aids and movie clips. would recommend this fun class to anyone interested in psych. Take lots of notes.
I only rated high on being a hard teacher cause his tests are hard. Projects are simple, some were time consuming. A fair grader & points from projects can make up for tests. My class was 1 night a week for 3 hours. I looked forward to going. Time goes by fast, it's interesting, interactive, and keeps you awake. Fun teacher, definately recommended.
I really enjoyed this class. the professor is very understanding. i do recommend that you read the book as well as take detailed notes in class because he uses questions from the lecture notes as well as the book. overall, the class was very enjoyable and the project that he assigns is very fun, interesting and the best project that I have done f
Overall a very good teacher.... defenitly put a lot of time into teaching this class.... used book references and other references as well. Each class is worth a lot of points. Lectures are very interesting and useful to the class. He did a lot of group discussions, and critical thinking questions.
The bad news: you have to make sure you show up to class. The good news: Every meeting is new, interesting, and engaging. His tests are difficult even if you study and take notes, but there are credits to earn each class time, which can boost your grade. Its mostly in class work, but its not dry or hard. Its different, its unexpected, and exciting.
Professor Bryan is a really nice guy and his class is fun. If you miss a lot of classes, you're totally screwed on the test because about a third of the questions are from his lecture notes (the rest are from the textbook) Usually 3 hour classes are hard to sit through but we have breaks and we watch videos/do activities so it's not all just notes.
Overall, he is a very useful and fun professor. Not too fun to where it is demeaning from the learning experience, but adds a nice touch to the class. He is a very well educated man in psychology and his lessons seem very worthwhile and reliable. A great professor!
Very good professor. There is alot of discussions in which you are called on randomly to give your opinion which i hated because i hate being put on the spot. Advice: try to never miss any classes, study hard for the tests, always pay attention because you will be called on, and make sure to do the final project!
ATTENDANCE IS CRUCIAL TO YOUR GRADE. LECTURES ARE WELL PLANNED & CLASS FLYS BY. VERY INTERACTIVE, BE PREPAIRED TO GET TO KNOW YOUR CLASSMATES! DIDN'T LIKE THE BOOK, ENJOYED LECTURES BETTER. TAKE GOOD NOTES-TESTS DERIVE FROM THEM ALONG W/KEY TERMS FROM THE BOOK. THERE'S A GROUP PROJECT. SHOWING UP TO CLASS & HONEST EFFORT SHOULD GET YOU A GOOD GRADE
Be on time and prepared to pay attention. Class is very interactive but fun! Be prepared to give opinions and everyone is called on so no escaping for you shy ones : ) overall, great teacher...very fair...class is always interesting... Not alot of homework! As long as you show up and do your work I guarantee you will get a good grade!
Attendance is a must! Missing one class will effect your grade. Very interactive class. You WILL talk in front of class. Professor is very knowledgeable and well prepared. Test can be a little confusing and sometimes you are told to study/focus on stuff that is not even on the test. Test are a little rushed.
Mr. Bryan is a very nice man, but needs to make better preparations for the assignments. More written notes on the board would be more helpful, especially for visual learners. It would also be nice if he posted grades on Blackboard throughout the semester.
Attend class, take good notes, read the textbook (very important), and follow directions. Felt the teacher was a bit unorganized but might be due to first time teaching PSYC104. Textbook as too many stats and I found it hard to read. Films clips were great! I did learn there was a difference between gender and sex.
I was a good class. I Hated the book he picked. The lady who wrote it was so feminist I had to grit my teeth to get through it. His tests were weird I always felt like I studied well and then I would get a C or B on the test. The best part of the class is the student interaction. Over all he was kinda grumpy but oddly friendly at the same time.
This class was very interesting!! I think EVERYONE should be required to take it!! Lots of class interaction, you can't be afraid to speak in front of people. The book was lame but you MUST read it or you will not pass the tests! If you miss class it really affects your grade!! All around good class!!!
I felt that Mr. Bryan was a very nice and interesting teacher. I really enjoyed listening to his lectures and learning the material. Attendance is very important.Study hard for the tests because they are not easy. I still pulled a great grade though I didn't do well at the tests. Good activities and projects! I'd take him again for sure!
Passionate about his subject. Makes sure you understand the material throughly. Exams are decent, just need to read the text. He's a great Prof. and non-partisan. You'll enjoy it.
If you're like me and don't plan on attending class regularly, this is not the class for you. you must be there, you must read the text and you should maybe pay attention in class. you are expected to read ahead of lecture sometimes.
Attendence is key! I encourage students to buy the textbook because the tests were heavily based on the book. Professor Bryan is quite passionate about the subject. Video clips were great. I always looked forward to those.
Attendance is key, even with a valid excuse you will lose points for missing class. Also he does not teach out of the book but does test out of it as well as all lectures. The man knows his stuff and encourages class participation. He is smart and passionate and overall a very fun teacher. Dont be shy though or its not for you.
I have to admit that when I took this class I thought I would be bored with it. Mr. Bryan made it fun and he was always very professional. He really knew what he was talking about and I can say that I really did learn in this class. I had a good time and wish all my classes could be like this one.
I have taken 2 classes with this teacher. He loves what he does. In order to get a good grade in his class, it's very simple. Go to class and participate. If you don't, I promise you won't do well. If I had to take another class with him, I would do it in a heart beat.
PSYC-104. THIS COURSE IS INSIGHTFUL. PARTICIPATION & ATTENDANCE IS A MUST. MATERIAL & MEDIA ARE RELLEVANT. LECTURES ARE PREPARED WITH ENGAGING ACTIVITIES. THERE IS A PARTNER PROJECT. DO THE WORK, SHOW UP TO CLASS, & STUDY FOR THE 3 EXAMS & YOU'LL GET THE GRADE YOU DESERVE. PROFESSOR CAN BE FUNNY. OFFERS NO EXTRA CREDIT AND IS REALLY FAIR IN GRADING
PSYC-104. THIS IS AN ENGAGING CLASS WITH RELLEVANT MEDIA & MATERIAL. SHOW UP TO CLASS, PARTICIPATE & STUDY FOR THE 3 EXAMS & YOU'LL GET THE GRADE YOU DESERVE. OFFERS NO EXTRA AND IS FAIR IN GRADING. THERE IS A FUN PARTNER PROJECT AND MULTIPLE IN CLASS DISCUSSIONS. PROFESSOR KNOWS HIS FIELD AND CAN BE FUNNY. YOU'LL LOVE THE COURSE WITHOUT WANTING TO
This was a fun class with a teacher who really knew how to teach the material. He uses a lot of video and sound clips along with his lectures that were really useful. He hands out a complete review guide before the tests, with literally everything on in. Attendance is 100% mandatory, even with a valid excuse you will lose points. A great teacher!!!
Very FAIR professor. He makes you earn your grade but makes it as fun and interesting as possible. He uses multimedia that relates to his students so the material is more easily understood. Not much HW except reading and a few assignments, just do the weekly reading and review the notes and you'll be fine!
He is an awesome teacher! He is very fair with grading. He knows what he is talking about and incorporates current media with his lectures. We do in class activities that get you thinkin. There is no extra credit, but he's a fairly easy grader. He is really funny and makes the class enjoyable.
Professor opens his 1st class by explaining that he wishes to convey the subject matter he is teaching accurately, same as if it were being taught at a 4yr Univ & does a flawless job of this Doesn't use the classroom as his own personal soapbox, instead he provides the facts/info & listens to students own thoughts & opinions, A+/Quality Teacher!
I really enjoy coming to professor Bryan's class. He has us experience the subject by coming up with experiences and relating to movies to help us understand the idea of the class. The lectures and movies were very interesting. there was not one day where I wanted to fall asleep. The class helps you to think and relate to your life too.
POSITIVES: Hes funny, class is easy over all if you pay attention, hes helpful, his inclass lectures help you fully understand the text, he is NOT boring, his assignments overall are easy, textbook is easy to read. NEGATIVES: hes WAY to personal, the main experiment project is time consuming. Overall the class is interesting. I would take him again
Very interesting class. He uses time well and has breaks every hour. He uses media well and applies the material to everyday life. The Gender class I took was very fun, although he is a bit socially awkward. Great teacher overall
You know those professors that actually manage to get you INTERESTED in the class? This is one of them. I thought I was going to hate this class and instead I found myself enjoying it and examining my own ideas with more clarity. He was entertaining and engaging, and managed to keep us all awake despite the class going till 10pm. Two thumbs up!
I absolutely loved this teacher! He's the dorky cute funny guy and will keep you interested all semester long. You have to come to class to get credit but don't worry! Its interesting and the time will go by fast! You don't really use the book during class but you need it to pass the test. Even though he does a good review you still need the book :
Very very interesting class. Lots of class discussion, not much homework.
Prof. covers a lot of material but makes it understandable and relevant; never feel like its a waste of time coming to class. Have to show up to class, participate and do all the assignments to get a good grade, but not too much is asked of you. Prof. is very friendly, personable, genuine and you can tell he enjoys what he does.
Interesting, easy to understand. Participation is a must and professor Bryan really provokes you to think. Reading helps add to knowledge and make it clearer. (DUH!) Homework is minimal, but projects require thought. Class is alot of fun and very interesting. Professor is beyond fair...
Mr. Bryan he is very interesting. He makes complete sense about everything he talks about, and we all can relate to what he means. He is very clear, very engaging and wants us to understand. I enjoy all the movie clips he plays that pertain to our lecture. I love the activities and writing in our journals so to speak. He is very cute and very OG.
He keeps it double O G. plain and simple he is it. He relates to us always makes sense. Love the activities, love the videos he shows that go along with our lecture.
Sleeping through class is not an option. Questions requiring thoughtful answers are asked throughout class and turned in at the end. It can be difficult to stay politically correct and still respond honestly to discussions. I dreaded having to take this class, but have since found it enlightening.
Surprisingly enjoyed this class. What I like most is he is unlike my other professors this semester that read the from the textbook and only repeated what I had just read. His lectures were well put together and in class activities were good and kept us on our toes. Great Professor.
I highly reccomend taking this class. The way the class is structured as far as grading is very fair. The tests are all based on everything that was discussed in class, there are no trick questions or curveballs. The teacher is great dont take this class if you plan on being absent!! Attendance is mandatory for good grade!!
Mr. Bryan is a very good teacher. he is very clear with everything that he says. everything on the tests he goes over in his lectures and all the projects are fun and enjoyable. be prepared to talk a lot in this class. loved this professor
this professor is very good at explaining the lectures. i really enjoyed this class. the projects are very fun. he wants everyone to have a chance to talk in this class. a lot of discussion.
Great professor, easy grader. Shows films in class that are relevant the material he's teaching and the films are very interesting. There are only about 3 major assignments that are required which are: Psychology experiment, movie review and gratitude letter visit. Always puts up a useful study guide prior to test which is very helpful :)
I am in his class right now. He is, hands down, one of the best professors I have ever had! There is a lot of interaction in class. If you don't go to class you will miss out on the points for the assignment of the day. He shows a lot of clips that help one understand the material better.
Very great teacher, excited to go to class, open book test,overall this is a great teacher who cares about his students. I highly recommend this class.
Great professor, easy to understand, but challenging interaction. Open book test, open discussion very respectful of your needs and feelings. He seems very interested in what you have to "bring" to class. I would totally recommend this class.
This was an amazing class! I was kind of skeptical because it was almost 3 hrs long at night but it was so much fun! John Bryan is one of the most organized professors I have had so far! He was very knowledgeable and knew what he was talking about. He explained everything very clearly and if you have the chance to take his class, TAKE IT!
This was my favorite class at this school. The professor was well organized, very articulate, and we always knew what was expected of us. The material is very interesting and easy to follow. The project in the class was the most difficult assignment, but it was not unreasonable or too difficult.Excellent for those going into the medical field.
Incredible teacher. Very handsome (no homo). Challenging yet does not believe in busy work. You get out of this class what you put into it. Partially open book tests. Class participation every time. You wont want to miss it anyways. Loved this class and this professor.
Professor Bryan is a great teacher! A very kind, sweet, and funny man. This class is interesting and makes you think outside of the box
This has been the best professor I have had yet. He really interacts with the class and makes you feel comfortable. He never tests you on something he didn't go over. He is very clear on what he expects from the class. There are only three major assignments. The experiment was the toughest, but not if you are clear on what a random sample is.
The class was pretty straight forward and easy. The teacher is engaged with his students through the entire class. His test were based on notes & the book, so if you pay attention you will do fine. He has a couple oral presentations, so if you're not comfortable with presenting in front of the class then I'd suggest not taking him. Great teacher.
The textbook was somewhat easy to understand. And Mr.Bryan was organized with the material he presented to class and made the class lectures easy to understand he keeps the atmosphere relaxed and he has a good sense of humor but he wont let you make up missed projects points which sucks. And he can be quite inflexible. And the tests were open book
Overall good teacher.Good sense of humor.Tests were open book.He had auido and movie clips in class.Keeps a relaxed atmosphere in class.He was prepared when in class and lectures were easy to understand.Exams were easy and the textbook was somewhat easy to understand.But he won't let you make up missed assignments and sometimes can be inflexible
Great teacher!!!! Very straight forward projects. Great usage of textbook. Great examples of class topics through use of media, and video clips. Easy grading. Class sessions are very interesting and entertaining. Never a dull moment!! I'd suggest taking him as a teacher!!
This class was a lot of fun and he is a really good teacher. He makes sure that you understand the material. He has great presentable lectures and is very knowledgable on the material given. I definitely reccomend taking this class even if it is just for fun. Great class!
The tests are easy and are on the book mostly but 10-15 questions are actually based on his lecture so you should take notes as well. Mr. Bryan is hilarious and completely relatable; he is the one responsible for making the class as fun as it is. He doesn?t give homework other than a movie review, an experimental project, and a gratitude paper.
he is an amazing teacher! his class is fun and exciting and never boring! there is three major assignments and 3 tests, but the tests are simple because you can use your textbook and the projects are not too bad. absolutely love him and would recommend this class!
I really did enjoy this class; he is very knowledgeable about the subject! I liked the questions he ask in class as it allowed for an awesome class debate and almost everyone participated. His use of audio and videos was also extremely helpful as well as his stories before the lecture. I defiantly recommend this course with Professor Bryan!
I really enjoyed this class, I learned alot. Mr. Bryan was very knowledgable he gave us lectures on different Physic topics. There was activities with alot of participation. He was very interactive,and he made it very easy and fun to learn. I enjoyed the topic reinforced media, audio and visual. He was clear on what we would cover in every class.
He used different tools for teaching, which made it easy and interesting. He used video clips, power-point notes, research studies, and incrp them into the class lectures. The only thing that was difficult was that he went through the lecture notes very quickly at times, and it was difficult to get it all down, which we needed for the exams.Knlgble
Professor Bryan is a great professor. He is very accommodating, especially if you have special needs. He wants to help you learn and will provide ways to help you. His lectures are interesting because he will talk about current issues related to his lectures. He assigned a project that was very interesting. He is terrific!
Professor Bryan is a nice guy, who generally cares about students. He wants everyone to succeed I his class and he makes the class interesting with the use of clips and media. His lectures are always interesting and he is always prepared for lecture. He doesn't refer to the book often but he does use the books for exam material.
Professor Bryant is a great teacher with a passion to teach. He makes his class fun and joyful to be in. He uses the book for references but uses a lot of media for examples to drive the point. I recommend this teacher to anyone the text book is easy reading and so is the class.
Professor John Bryan was a very helpful and educated teacher.He referred to the text several times during class and used the stories to start his lectures. He was very clear about the tests true/false, matching, and multiple choice. Class projects/movie reviews had precise directions. He kept the class interested and focused during lecture. A++
I truly enjoyed him as a teacher,he is passionate about what he teaches.His test are not to hard must read the book though. Class was always enjoyable, there are always class discussion which make the students more interested. Overall he is a good and fair teacher, if you are at all interested in psych or just have to take it pick this prof!
This Psych course was probably one of the most interesting college classes I have ever taken. Mr. Bryan has a way of making the class fun and your participation eager. If you have an interest in the Psych field, his class is one that is a must. In the end, he wil have you doing something amazing, gratifying and moving all at once.
I thought he was truly one of the best overall professors I have ever had. Very informative, makes sure everyone understands, definitely gets your brain thinking and moving, and he is there for you with any questions and welcomes any questions. Also a great sense of humor. I would definitely recommend him.
Great class if you are seeking to take a psychology course, take gender psychology with Professor John Bryan. He is such an awesome instructor I would definitely recommend him. He is very helpful and gives interesting examples during each one of his lectures, which makes them easy to follow. Overall the class was very interesting.
Attendance is mandatory. He is a pretty easy grader; you just have to put in some effort. He will work with you if there is a problem with attendance or with any questions you have. TAKE HIM =)
best class ever! you really learn a lot, and can relate he material to you every day life. attendance points matter for once a week class( every class=30 points) fairly easy quizes. if you read the book you'll do fine. simple partner experiment and great class lectures/discussions. TAKE THIS CLASS! So worth the time and effort:)
I really enjoyed taking John Bryan's class. It was very helpful and he informed us of great information and outstanding studies. He made the class fun and always had a positive, upbeat attitude, and threw in jokes. He made everyone feel comfortable and able to share personal information. I highly recommend taking this class!
professor brian is a family therapist so he is very easy to talk to and is understanding. There are assignments that require presentation but he makes you feel very comfortable speaking in front of the class. Sometimes his assignment can be very broad with little guidelines or instructions. But i think he does it that way intentionally.
Awesome! jon is always looking for ways to improve but thats tough cuz he's already top notch. class was super easy.textbooks are a must because he lets u use in on the tests so i suggest to purchase one! if u have the book and take a lot of notes during lectures you'll get an A. light homework. enjoyable discussions. definitely not a bore.
I really liked taking this class. You need to have the text book for test and make sure to review notes. Attendance is mandatory but the class flies by so its worth it. I enjoyed the short clips involved in the lectures.
John was a fun teacher. Had good lectures and a good sense of humor. A little vague on the assignments, but as long as you show up and pay attention you should do well. Enjoyable class, I recommend :)
Mr. Bryan is an AMAZING professor! I really enjoyed his class. He makes class really fun and although the whole class is a lecture, it's power point and lots of discussions with classmates. There's 3 exams, a project, and 1 2-page paper due for the entire semester. Attendance is MANDATORY, but the class goes by fast. I would highly recommend him!
Wonderful teacher! All of his exams pull questions straight from lectures and the chapters required to read. Its very important to get the book, it will help you with the tests greatly. Also as a tip if you take this course, do NOT go to the mall for your group project. It has to be random, not convenient. Best teacher at MSJC yet.
He teaches with very interesting media like films.In addition,Bryan is a great man with a kind heart, but he will make you earn your grade. There is very little homework and the assignments are interesting. Take him and you will never regret your time and have fun laughing;If I could afford It you would be my therapist with all respect.
Attendance is mandatory! if U miss more than a few classes expect UR grade to drop dramatically ~10% (even if U got As on all your tests and assignments). If U DO attend class, be surprised at how high UR grade is & how interesting/fun the class is. 3 exams, 2 easy projects & 1 movie review. read book for exam material = 90% not discussed in class
attendance in this class is imperative as it will affect your grade. Even if you get fantastic grades on all your tests, if you miss a class, you'll notice your grade drop. Conversely, attendance can help your grade if you don't do well on the tests. Instructor has a very witty/great sense of humor so it makes for an interesting class time.
Fun class, wonderful teacher, tough exams (if you do not read the text)! Reading is critical. Attendance is crucial! Mr. Bryan makes class interesting, lecture is given on power point with a lot of class envolvement and activities. Assignments are fun and you will learn a lot about yourself as a person. I highly recommend this professor!
Great Prof. Attendance is key to the class due to the large amount of in class activities. Very interactive class. Exams are based on textbook NOT lecture, so reading is essential. 3 tests, 2 projects, 1 paper. Doesn't give too many guidelines but is an easy grader! overall great class!!
Really liked this class great teacher and learned a lot. Can't go wrong when taking this class.
Great teacher! The discussions in class are easy to understand and the class is fun. Exams are tough if you don't do the reading or attend the classes. Lectures are fun and the class is always involved in discussions which makes the topics easier to understand and fun!
He's a great teacher and i would recommend him to anyone who is searching for a psych class. Attendance is weighed heavily, I learned that the hard way. Show up to class and be sure to read to book and the class is much easier. He's very direct and clear in his teaching. I feel that i would improve his teaching if he loosened up at times.
I liked this class, great instructor, very interesting information I didn't get bored. Enjoyed the variety of media, films, powerpoints and the partner interacts it kept me awake.
Excelent class.Helped me become a better person. Professor makes the class fun at the same time educational never a dull moment onestly is one of those classes u are really looking forward to attend. Like the open discussions. I really learn alot about sex development and gender differences and many other Attendance is a must buy book
Overall: GOOD CLASS. The teacher was good; all test material was covered in lectures and in the book. He did a good job of including the class and making it interesting. Teacher catered to all visual, audio & “by-doing” needs. ONLY changes I would make are the final project (didn’t relate to Psych of Gender) & to be informed of grades more often.
The class is really entertaining there is a bit of reading that you have to do otherwise you wont be able to get on A. If you read the chapters youll be ok. Assignments are not many but take time. I would recommend his class to anyone.
Not your typical lecture/midtern lecture/final instructor. The class is very hands on type of learning. The tests were pretty hard, but I personally didn't have a textbook. The one thing I liked about the class was the lectures were interesting enough to not fall asleep to.
Great instructor and is very helpful. Only thing attendance is a must but every class period is interesting and he makes time fly. Use of textbook and reading is also important not much homework. Overall easy class if u pay attention and are interesting in the class course. But I would defiantly recommend anybody to take him great instructor!
Attendance is a must! Energetic & very interactive w/all students. Presents real life experiences & skills to address gender-based issues in society. Loved the variety of teaching methods, ie...media, lecture, reading
I really like this class. The teacher is really helpful and is easy to understand. You have to show up to class if you miss too many days you can be dropped or your grade will be. But it's a fun class and it's cool to hear what other people have to say
Very helpful, he truly has a passion for the subject and wants his students to have a great understanding of gender. Don't be intimidated by the experiment just be very sure what random sample is.
This class was very fun and I learned a lot. The teacher made this class fun and the class was easy to follow to get a good grade. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to take psychology.
Always helpful, makes topic very interesting. Although there is group work I would highly recommend this class.
Awesome teacher, he's actually a therapist so he's really good with talking and keeping the class interesting. The tests are kinda hard but not if you read the text book, sometimes he even lets you use the book on a test. Great subject matter. Lots of points in class participation so you need to show up!
This is a great teacher and a wonderful class. His lectures are high quality and he is great at capturing you attention. You do have to read the book and study your notes in order to pass the tests.
This class is a very informative class. Professor Bryan is lively and presents the material in many media forms. He is easy to understand and can relate the information to everyday experiences to help students actually get the material. The book was dry and felt baised in some respects, but other than that was very well put together.
This was one of my favorite classes this semester. The teacher is great and does a great job at explaining all the material. A lot of points come from attending class by doing the in class activities, some quizzes and answering questions from the lectures. Go to class, take good notes, read the textbook for exams and you'll get an A in the class.
PSYC 104 with Professor John Bryan is a course you don’t want to miss, rather you need it or not. Professor Bryan is a great instructor. The information learned in his class is up-to-date and useful. If you are looking for a full on lecture class, this is not it. Don’t worry about taking this class at night you won’t fall asleep. Fun learning
Psyc 104 with Mr. Bryan was awesome class something I did not expect when I read the course information the day I registered for my classes. Professor Bryan made the class very interesting and entertaining with his funny presentations as well as his entertaining explanations and activities.
Greatly recommend this class. This instructor truly enjoys what he does and makes all his classes enjoyable and interesting. He is very clear and does not mind answering questions.
This teacher is a sexual abuser apologist and is emotionally insensitive. This teacher made offensive and horrific comments on sexual assault victims and should not be teaching nor conducting therapy.
I extremely recommend taking this class! Professor Bryan is very passionate about psychology and makes the class very fun for students. He is very engaging and keeps you on your toes. He incorporates powerpoints, discussion, and media all into one. It was a very interesting class!
Loved the class! Keep in mind that attendance is extremely important. The tests are okay, but as long as you show up to class every time and participate, you will do just fine! The teacher keeps the class fun and entertaining. I was excited about going to class every Wednesday night! I definitely recommend taking Mr. Bryan for gender psych ;)
John is an excellent teacher. He was extremely sensitive when it came to touchy sexual subjects; material was clear; he was funny which kept the class interesting and he is, and admits he is, an easy grader as long as you do the work asked of you. I would recommend his class to everyone interested in psych, or not. Show up and youll do great!
John was a great teacher! He is very engaging and it is easy to become quite interested in what he is teaching. The tests can be difficult, but the most important thing is to show up to class and pay attention. He makes it fun with lots of video clips and sound bytes, so it's not hard to do! :) Would definitely recommend taking this class.
this class was alot of fun.Never felt like I was in class for 3hrs. I would defently take a class with this teacher again. He could keep your attention and if he felt like he wa losinghe class he would give us a break to get a min to get back on track. great teacher
I personally really enjoyed this class. I learned a lot and I like how we would have discussion within the class not just lectures,the professor kept the class involved. The test are based on the book and lecture so read the chapters and take good notes.The book is interesting,it gives a lot of examples; stories. The teacher is funny.Great class!
I would really recommend this class and teacher! Mr. Bryan is very engaging when teaching and he makes the material easy to understand and comparable to everday life.The hard things are the personal questions. Attendance is a must.His lectures are not boring and very easy to remember. He usually had daily quizes which helped me. I highly recommend!
I had no idea what i signed up for but i went to class everyday cuz it was very interesting and good information on gendered lives. I learned a lots of things it and professor John asked a lots of good questions in class that made you think the questions were not easy to answer at times. i would definitely highly recommend this professor. ZZZZZ
I enjoyed this class very much! The material you learn is very interesting and the professor creates a lot of discussion within the lecture which helped to keep our attention. He provides lots of videos to help give a better understanding visually. Tests are based on the book and lectures so as long as you read and take good notes, you'll do great!
The interests of this course extended beyond academics and made an impact on my personal life. John Bryan is enthusiastic and keeps things interesting. His classes are always lively and interactive. He makes sure to include all students, so if there is a discussion, you will more than likely be a part of it.
The class is overall more of a self developing class. Yes, you learn some great things about the psychology of the gender, but you end up learning a lot about yourself. Text book will make your world in the class much easier... just participate and you should do fine.
Mr Bryan is a great teacher who is obviously passionate about what he does. There aren't many teachers out there anymore who have the drive to teach and be close with their students as much as he does. He seems very genuine and sincere and he tries to involve everyone as much as possible. It is the type of class where You make friends with ur class
Mr. Bryan is an excellent teacher. He is quite entertaining and you won't regret this class. I am thrilled that I took this class, it was one of my favorites in all my time at MSJC. I especially look forward to the last class of the semester and the activity we will be doing.
Professor John made the class go by so fast because of the interaction he kept with the students. If anybody needs to take a Psychology course I would definitely recommend this one. As long as you do your readings and show up to class each week the class should be a piece of cake, and having an entertaining professor is the cherry on top!

I really enjoyed this class.The material was interesting and helpful!I learned a lot from this class the lectured in a way that you can actually relate to the topic, which encourages the students to participate and have better attendance. Also, as long as you keep up with your work you'll pass the class.
Professor Bryan is very passionate about psychology and it shows in his lectures and energy! The best part of being in the class is that he calls his students by name and genuinely listen to what they have say.
This class was very interesting and informative. Mr. Bryan made it fun and interactive. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone whether they are interested in Psychology or not. I enjoyed the assignments and presentations given.
Professor Bryan is great! He is passionate about psychology and teaching. He called every student by name and genuinely listened to what they had to say.
It was a good class. Very interactive. He's very flexible. You must be in class though because the quizzes/tests are based on material in the book as well as in his lecture.
Mr. Bryan's class was interesting; I already love psychology, and it was interesting learning about the differences that lead to people of a certain gender acting the way they do. We got to do in class activities every day which was fun and really helped cement the material we learned. The textbook for this class was well written and interesting.
I'm majoring in social and behavioral studies so I already love psychology but he kept the class entertaing and keeps the students engaged. By far my favorite class here at MSJC. I learned a lot and had a great time learning which is rare quality for a teacher to have. Anyone interested in psychology should definitely take this class.
This class is very student oriented. Many discussions between peers which keeps the class fun and interactive. Mr. Bryan seems to be extremely knowledgeable about the subject and gives current up-to-date information that is entertaining and informative to watch.
I really enjoyed this class. At first I thought I would not like it because it involves a lot of speaking in class and interacting with your peers but I realized it was fun and I did learn the information. The professor made it very enjoyable to learn the material and kept us interested.
Very fun, engaging, and well structured class. Assignments and in-class assignments and lectures were entertaining and interesting.
