Best teacher ever!
Remember to always do stuff for bonus points! Really nice guy and not a bad teacher, keeps you entertained. :)
He's cool and funny! He makes going to class fun, and his tests are online so you can use the book/friends. He's a cool ass teacher.
Does he care about my grade? Does he care about anything?
Finally a professor who makes learing fun. Nice to have a professor trys different methods of teaching. Plus, he's hot. ;) Yay for Dr. Lindsay!
No attendance policy. No tardy policy. Up to a full letter grade's worth of extra credit. All tests on WebCt. This was a dream class. He is a funny guy who doesn't take much of anything, including himself, too seriously. Highly reccommend.
Very cool professor. Teaches in a way that is fun and interesting. Explains things in a very understandable way. Offers bonus points--but if you pay attention, etc., you won't need them. I would definitely take him for any other courses he teaches. Wish more professors taught like he did.
He loves his job and you can tell cause he likes to make lectures enjoyable. Most people like it, but I don't particularly. I'd rather learn psychology than just listen to chatter, so I rarely go to class, but the only grades are tests on WebCT, so it's all good.
Dr. Lindsay is a great teacher...this was one of the few classes I didn't mind waking up to go to.
His class is so fun. He's hilarious! Yet he manages to teach psychology while he is being so intertaining. All opportunities to express knowledge are on WebCT so technically they could be open book if you wanted them to be.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!! Super easy and funny. Lots of extra credit. I received 12 points added to my final grade.
GRRREAT!!!!!!!
The most caring man. Much more approachable than most professors. After my class was done I started seeing him for therapy and it has changed my life!
I loooove this class... its fun when you're there, but if you dont show up... dont sweat it!
fun class--worth waking up for. nice guy. lots of extra credit. all tests are online, and he doesn't have an attendance policy.
so easy! I havent been to class in 3 weeks and made a 92 on the test!
He's really funny and what he teaches is interesting. Very nice guy. Tests are all online but can be pretty hard.
He is mixes comedy with learning and does it effectivily. However, the class goes at a slow pace at times. He realy gets the students involved in class but has no attendance policy. I would recommend him because he is a great person to make you love psychology.
Very easy. Hardly ever went to class and got an A. Gives you many opportunities for extra credit.
Very easy and entertaining. He gives multiple chances for extra credit. Reccommend taking for a core class. Tests are all online and you can take them twice.
Fine for a core class - he is easy and entertaining. Don't take this guy if you actually want to LEARN something for all the money you're paying.
Very easy, very entertaining professor. If you have to take psych then you have to take Dr. Lindsay.
Very entertaining, also very helpful!! Generally a very nice guy, with a sunny disposition :)
very easy class, no attendence policy, doesnt take attendence, test are right out of book and on webct, overall verry easy class and the lectures are interesting and he is funny!
very easy. you can make an A in this class without attending. all tests are straight from the book and on the internet. he posts them for a few days and allows two chances to take it. when you do go to class though he is funny and entertaining.
Oh Boy he is a handful and such a fun guy that loves to teach! It is like going to a comedy club rather than class, haha Loved him! Oh and if you can take his Love Class!
He is so easy. You do not have to go to class, he gave our class extra credit on certain days if we showed up! The tests are online and you can take them twice. Easy A if you simply take the tests. Even though you don't have to go to class, when you do he is hilarious. Very entertaining!
One of the best classes I've taken in college. Dr. Lindsay has a LOT of information about life to pass on, and teaches you many different ways to cope with life's issues. Its a very open and personal class where you learn more life lessons than academic information, but its definitely worth it. He's a great guy who you can learn a lot from.
Very easy teacher. Class def. isn't mandatory. I hardly went at all and made a high A. The tests are all online and you have a week or so to do them. He is a very funny guy though and you never know what he will say next!
HE IS SOOOOOOOO Easy. I would suggest to anyone to take him. Though he does give out random bonus points he does teach now. He definitely knows his Psych. Can go off on a tangent at times. Most people don't show up, but it's fun when you go.
Amazingly easy teacher. You take your tests online whenever you feel like. Interesting guy that will make you learn too. I recommend highly.
Dr. Lindsay is the best professor on campus! He really knows what he's talking about and has a wonderful classroom atmosphere. Show up to class to get lectures over the material. If you miss a class, he doesn't care. 3 online tests. all straight from the book. gives extra credit points for various things. my final grade was a 106!
He is very easy. I made a 107. He gives out extra credit alot. He makes lots of jokes while he lectures and he is not boring. He doesnt care if you show up to class or not. 3 online tests that you can use anything for. I used the test Preparation booklet on the tests made notecards and got A's. I strongly recommend him if you want and easy A.
It is not so much the fact that Prof. Lindsey is "easy". It is more the fact that he is an excellent educator that cares about his students, knows how to teach and modivate college students!!! He is an outstanding Teacher and mentor!
Very funny. I went to class maybe 5 times and I got a B. the tests are all online. But i did hear that he changed his attendance policy...but it's an enjoyable class
Great teacher. He is always making jokes and keeping class interesting. There was no attendance policy, so I rarely went and made a 98 in the class, just from reading the book. Tests are easy, but require reading.
A good-enough teacher. I heard one of the dirtiest jokes in my life during one of his classes, so we usually were awake during lectures.
he changed attendance policy - five random days are a plus point on your average, five other days are a minus point on your average. Tests are online, 50 questions and 1 hour time limit. Take his class if you are looking for an easy A...I got a 99.
Quite possibly one of the best professors I've had!!
HE ROCKS!!!!!!
The greatest professor I have ever had. He honestly cares about his students. Wish I could take him again!
I think he might be a tad bit overrated, but his class is still the easiest A I've ever made in my life. If you actually want to learn something, though, you have to have the self-will to learn for yourself. Tests are super easy and don't require you to study or even show up for class.
John Freakin' Lindsey is the greatest psych professor ever!! His class is amazing. There are only three tests - all online. He gives out bonus points throughout the semester. He is hilarious. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!
great teacher, makes class fun. he is a very funny man and tells lots of jokes to entertain. tests are easy, all online and he prepares you for them very well. easy A as long as you remember to take the tests.
amazing! he was so fun! the tests are all online so you can do them with friends and use your book and notes. easy and fun!
tries to give a lot of relationship advice..he's been married three times, how much could he possibly know about women?
Dr. Lindsay is absolutely incredible. He explains the deepest psychological concepts in ways that are fun, interesting, and easy to listen to. I had little interest in psychology before taking his class, but after being in his class with him, I am minoring in psychology just so I can take his upper level courses. Awesome class and a terrific pro
AWESOME teacher. Consider yourself incredibly lucky if you get a spot in his class. He makes everything interesting, he's hilarious, and the class is very straight forward and easy to get an A in. I loved going to class every day. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
I took 2 of his classes in 1996-1997. Yes, it's easy if you either come to class or read the text. For those that don't go to class - you are MISSING OUT. So funny - two of the most interesting classes I took!!! So skip the book and just go to class to learn and laugh!
Hilarious professor! Go to class just to have a laugh every once in awhile. Tests are straight from the book and/or what he goes over in class. Tests are online and decently simple. If you can get into his class, do it!
One of the best teachers I've ever had! I actually looked forward to going to his class! He's very kooky but that just adds to the class. His tests are online and attendance isn't required but he definitely rewards you for going.
Best teacher ever, The tests are online and straight from the notes. He is so easy and really funny. I enjoy coming to class. Everything he says makes sense.
Best class ever! He is hilarious! I enjoyed coming to class, and it's easy and enjoyable. He explains things in the simplest, most funny ways! This class is DEFINITELY worth taking, no doubt about it!
Great professor. His tests are online straight from the book. He holds a very entertaing class that is a lot of fun. Take his class!
As everyone has said before: Entertaining;easy;not mandatory;online test. Great class
Funniest, most laid back teacher you could ever have. Every student should at least take one class with him. If you don't you will miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime.
This was my first Psychology class. Mr. Lindsay is insanely funny, witty, and intelligent. Attendance isn't taken but there are "bonus" and "minus" days, both of which count for or against your final average. Lindsay knows his stuff and I've only seen him kick two students out once, but they were warned but wouldn't quit being rude.
Best teacher I've had so far. He's hilarious and makes class fun. There are only 3 online tests that are very easy. There are also LOTS of bonus point opportunities.
easy class, funny teacher, attendance isnt mandatory but fun to come anyway, tests online
Extremely easy class. There are only 3 tests, and they are all online. He gives you the opportunity to add 10 extra points onto the top of your final grade. 5 of these points come from simply being at class on days he takes attendance.
Best teacher Ever! Always has positive attitude and always is ready to help!
Attendance not mandatory. A little effort will go a long way in this class. Will go over test questions days prior to test so make sure to attend those. Would definitely recommend anyone to take this class.
I LOVE HIM! He has taught me soo much and he is soo fun. Please take him. He loves his students. Only 4 tests, online, over a whole weekend. Everything on the test is taught in class. Highly Recommended!
Easy class, Online test. Funny, easy to listen to his story. Class is just hard to want to be in. it's just such a boring subject and a subject that wont get you anywhere in life. but his class was easy and boost my gpa, so i am happy i took him. lots of extra credit op. he has sign in days for extra points and days that he takes away points.
Insanely funny and really helpful! His class is really enjoyable, but you need to pay attention because his tests have a lot of info on them
He is super easy! Attendance is not mandatory but sometimes he hands out a roll sheet for extra points. If you miss those, you lose a point, so you might as well go! All tests are taken online so it's not bad at all.
He has a very crazy personality! He does make class more interesting, though. No attendence policy beside sometimes offering an extra point or taking away a point. The tests are full of info., so be prepared. But they are also online, which is a lot easier!
He thinks he is super hilarious so make sure to laugh with him. I sort of enjoyed his class, but what I enjoyed most was an easy A. Two online tests and that was it. Easy, easy, easy.
Very easy. He is hilarious which makes you want to go to class although it really isn't mandatory.
Learn a lot in this class and would recommend this teacher.
LOVE THIS MAN. Great professor. Very funny and wise. His class is so much fun and I would recommend every class he teaches. Tests and Finals are online so it is easy to find the answers/work as a group
The class is super easy, he gives TONS (i got +15 on my overall grade) of bonus points. I didn't really like him as teacher, he really annoyed me but whatever ,the class was super easy and I would recommend him over White
He is a phenomenal professor! He teaches in away that keeps you engaged. He makes you laugh & it's super easy to learn the concepts w him. Class isn't mandatory but go as much as possible it is so worth it! He may act like a goof ball but he is incredibly intelligent & passionate. I am definitely taking him again! He gives you easy extra credit.
Greatest teacher ever! I would take his class again in a heartbeat.
This class was not at all what I expected. You learn about the anatomy of the brain and the first 1/3 of the semester is pretty boring if you're not into that kind of stuff. He tries to be really funny in lecture which can be okay at times but otherwise just takes up class time. He's a nice guy but it's just hard to get into his class sometimes.
Most hilarious professor I've ever had, he knows the subject well and loves teaching. Fun lectures, extra credit, and just a few online tests makes this class an easy A.
This is the best professor I have ever had. Take this class for an A. 3 tests for the whole course, and each is easy. Just study your notes, and you will be fine. You can get up to 15 bonus points to your final grade for easy surveys and you will not struggle. He is funny, and there was never a dull moment in class. He is a very good teacher.
Super easy class if you just show up. He adds 5 points to your overall grade if your attendance is good. He makes his tests easy on purpose because he "doesn't be stressing out students". He's kind of odd, but sometimes it's funny. I highly recommend.
Three tests in class and that's it. you get extra credit if you come to class, depending on the day. Interesting man, but if you get offended easily do not take him. Hard material. If you are a good test taker and go to class, than it is an easy A
3 tests, all questions from the end of book chapter review. He no longer does online tests. Gives a ton of extra credit to the point where if you show up and do the online studies you can turn a 70 into a 90.
Okay dudes, listen up: Lindsay is chill. Class is kinda boring, really basic stuff, straight out the textbook. 3 tests (also straight out of the textbook). You could pretty much teach yourself this entire course, so if you're looking for intellectual inspiration/ a challenge don't take this. Proff is funny, class is meh.
3 tests, all straight from the book. Just memorize vocab terms and you get an A basically. He randomly takes attendance though
Dr. Lindsay is the best psych professor you can take!!! You can get 10+ bonus points to your AVERAGE by taking surveys for the psych dept. So you can definitely get the grade you want. Hes super entertaining, you take notes from lecture, and the tests are multiple choice and straight from the notes.
NO homework or quizzes. Just 3 tests but they are multiple choice and always straightforward and easy. Studied the night before and always made A's. He will even tell you what is on the test during lectures. always laugh at his jokes or he gets sad. such a fun and sweet professor. he will always keep the class interesting
No homework, no quizzes, no work outside of class. 3 exams. Get the notes from class, what he writes on the board will be on the test. Going to class earns you extra credit points. You can easily get whatever grade you want in this class. Take him.
Super easy class. The guy is crazy but fun. Attendance isn't mandatory but he gives extra credit on random days just for showing up that goes toward your final grade. (I got 4) Tests are a bit difficult but if you pay attention, take notes, and study, you should be fine. You will need scantrons for the tests. Sit in the front two rows if possible.
I love this professor! I would love to take another one of his classes. He makes class enjoyable. As someone who has him early in the morning, I didn't mind going to class because he is so funny. His tests are straight forward, if you read the chapters you should be fine. He is pretty straight forward on what is on the test and what isn't.
Lindsay is the best. Only grades in the class are three 50 question multiple choice exams, but they are super easy and straightforward. Attendance is not required, but he does do 5 random bonus days that add a point to your grade each time if you are there.
Dr. Lindsay has been amazing. I changed my major to psychology because this class was so awesome. I would love to take it again. Make sure to take notes and remember what he says when he tells you it will be on the test, because hes not lying...
You only have 3 tests for grades but if you show up to class and read the textbook you'll be fine. He is hilarious and makes the lectures interesting. you can get up to like 15 points of extra credit added to your overall final grade.
Only three 50 multiple choice test not accumulative. Gives plenty of bonus. Takes 6 bonus day and 6 points off days for attendance at random. Funny man and cares about his students. Some may not appreciate his humor.
He explains concepts really well and makes psychology easy to understand. He's a hilarious man, not crazy I promise! He gives extra credit for showing up to class, select class questions, and participating in research. He really cares about his students and is an actual therapist so he knows what he's talking about!
Dr Lindsay is a very eccentric professor, but if you're prepared for that this class is easy. Three tests make up your grade, and he takes attendance randomly throughout the semester for bonus points or credit removed from your grade. Don't bother buying the textbook unless you'll use it to study. Quizlets readily available for his tests.
Dr. Lindsay is my favorite professor by far. He is funny, caring and fair. His tests are straight forward and it is refreshing to take a test that isn't out to trick you. I highly recommend this class. He is a great person and a wonderful professor. Don't skip, attendance counts towards your bonus points and if you skip you get points off.
He's very nice, if you are not a good test taker, maybe not the class for you.
Dr. Lindsay is hilarious! and he makes learning fun. He provides many opportunities for bonus points and just showing up to class! There is a textbook in this class, but I didn't buy it, I found a free one online.
