He's really laid back. He lets you use note cards on the exams. The quizzes are straight from the lecture notes. There's no final, but in place is an exam on the last chapters covered. There is also one take home exam. There's a project worth 25% of your final grade, but it is really simple. He's one of the best teacher's I've had.

Clarke is a good psychology professor, he definitely is passionate about this field. But he is somewhat disorganized and his lectures are kind of boring. But overall he isn't bad!

Clarke was great. He explained everything well by providing real life examples and gave his student a good amount of time to complete homework. Exams are a bit hard but you have to read and he even does a review before the exams. He offers extra credit which is not hard at all! Very caring. Non judgmental. He loves Psychology.

maybe it was a bad semester but he seems to have overwhelmed himself with the # of classes he's teaching & didn't spend time to help students individually. Seemed to criticize the students for his inability to stay organized. (refused to respond to e-mails that didn't have the course section in the subject, grades were submitted to blackboard late)

This was a very weird class. The lectures are pretty boring and the prof was alright. Very nice guy but nothing was clear. It took him 2 months to grade our tests and he doesn't put grades up. All the tests are questions that he gives you before and 2 papers and 1 oral. Weird class. He is a very nice guy though

Professor Clarke clearly understands basic concepts of psychology. The problem is, he spends most of the class talking about his personal life or getting off-topic. Sometimes, he treats students as if they are in high school and it distracts from the lecture. I would suggest more videos and more interaction between the students and the professor.

He is very unorganized. Takes forever to grade. You never know what your grade is. You need to read a whole book and you need to read the text book. The papers are 7 to 9 pages and then the second paper is 5 to 7 pages. Tests were take home. He is never clear on what he really wants in the tests. Hes nice but not a good teacher.

I took his class in the summer so I guess it had a less intense atmosphere. Lectures are kind of scattered and sometimes seems as if hes kinda talking to himself - which I personally found frustrating. DONT let him catch you using your phone because he will not hesitate to call you out. HW is online - no need to take notes as he posts PPTs.

Lectures tend to go off topic, never enters grades in makes you keep test until end of semester so you dont get to know your grade

Personally, I really disliked this professor. I was hoping for someone more passionate about this subject and was hoping to learn something new. Turns out, that's not the case. He takes his sweet time and either brushes over things or rambles about the same topic for the whole lecture. Oh, and did I mention he never finishes on time?

I took him for PSY101 and i thought that he was an ok teacher his very lecture heavy and sometimes he would go off topic and will talk about one topic for a long period of time. but he gives out study guides before each test, if you make an effort in the class you will pass , you can tell that he wants everyone to pass

Although he's very lecture heavy, his homework on the E-Connect textbook is very similar to his lectures and tests. His study guides are very important because it's what is on the text. He lets you use notecards on the test which can be very useful! He's very nice and accessible out of class.

Very clear with expectations from the beginning! He gives all the information in time, gives opportunity for make up quiz! Attend all of his classes, read the book and follow his clear-simple rules and you will finish this class with A! If not you are the only one whom to blame for it! I wish all teachers to be simple and easy to follow as him!

Even tho it wasn't an online course, we will do everything online and go to the lecture for him to be talking about his life rather than the topics we are supossed to discuss. The class was from 6:00-9:30 and it will always start at 6:15 and finish around 7:00-7:45.

Take Clarke if you want to get an A without learning anything. He's late more mornings than not. VERY power point heavy. Tests seem to barely connect to the learned material. Appreciated the easy points from the VERY easy online textbook homework. Cool midterm experiment! Protip: Just skip the hour-long pre class (not worth it)

Yo, this guy was mad cool. He made psychology great! He was accessible, relatable and easy going. I was going through a crazy time in my life, his lectures made me forget all about my problems and or reflect on them and understand why we do the things we do as humans.

You don't really learn much in the class,he has you conduct a case study as a psy 101 class without teaching you anything and gets mad when you don't do it write. He is super rude and will call out students. It's like he wants students to not succeed. Hard tests. In order to do well you need to have knowledge of ap psych in highschool.

You can put no effort upfront and still pass his class. I learned absolutely nothing new. He never put forth any lectures, all you had to do was click through the textbook. Even within the exams, he encouraged you to use open book. If you are looking for an easy A class where you don't learn much, his is the one to take.

Professor Clark was pretty easy, just read most parts of the textbook and take some notes if you want help with the homework. I took the class online, and the website we used for homework would have about a 3 question penalty for wrong answers. (kinda annoying). Take him if you want an easy grade!
