What Students Say

Seems more interested in talking about sociology (postmodernism and his beloved French philosophers, Foucault, Derrida etc

PSYC1F25 - 1.0 rating

Would start talking about one topic and then would pause and discuss a completely different topic in the class (makes it very difficult to make notes)

I found John to be a great speaker, very organized and somewhat amusing. The exam on the other hand was rather lengthy and difficult for an introductory course.

Great lecturer. Lectures complimented the textbook well. The course is difficult, lots of content and lots of work, but expectations and guidelines are clear, and help is always available. Interesting content as well.

This dude wrote the textbook that you use in class - obviously he is well aware of what he is talking about and what he wants you guys to know. He can be … 'quirky' for lack of a better term but is generally likeable. Also, get down with neuroscience before 1f90 because he kicks it off with fMRIs, learning&memory, the whole 9 yards.

Took 1F90 in first year (now in third) and still by far the best class I have ever taken. Mitterer is SO interesting to listen to. The 2 hour lectures flew by. And who can forget "pugs not drugs" :)

Lectures are only loosely related to the textbook material, which is what your exams are on. Lectures are mostly personal anecdotes which makes it very hard to take notes. Seems more interested in talking about sociology (postmodernism and his beloved French philosophers, Foucault, Derrida etc.) than the actual subject he's teaching.

Not helpful. Would start talking about one topic and then would pause and discuss a completely different topic in the class (makes it very difficult to make notes).

He is a fantastic human being. He really knows what he is talking about and for the most part is very good at helping us understand the content. But definitely do ALL the readings in the textbook because sometimes he can be confusing. Can go off topic sometimes, and get ready to watch TED talks in tutorials. Overall pretty good prof!

He does a good job summarizing key points of readings and keeping the class attentive. However, I still found that the readings for the classes were far more useful than the lectures.

Very cute professor but lectures are long, boring, and not sure whats going on half the time. Wish he would speak up because this class could be very interesting! Also, get the modeuls done when assigned... they are a lot of work if you leave them till the end.

Really nice guy but explanations of course material we're very confusing. I barely attended the lectures because I felt I would learn more by reading the textbook than by sitting in class listening to him. Still received good marks though (the textbook is definitely key.)

Mitterer has a very monotone voice when lecturing. He seems to be very sweet and would regularly show us cool pictures at the beginning of lecture. Despite this, when he went through course material it seemed to be irrelevant on the exam and any assigned work. I probably could have gone to no lectures and passed the semester with flying colours.

Makes complicated content digestible by putting it in context using examples from everyday life More organized than the other professors I experienced ( uses the digital platform, posts materials on time and follows schedule) All around good guy who engages students after class and seems passionate about Psychology beyond publishing

I really liked John, he seems to really care about his students. He managed to make intro material interesting (which is usually not the case). His exam was extensive, but he gave lots of hints in lecture about what was important to study. I loved his lectures, and enjoyed the readings he assigned. I hope I get to take more of his classes.

Dr. Mitterer is the nicest professor at Brock. He is pretty monotone but makes good jokes and is so friendly and makes you want to do well in his class. It is stressful because everyone says the exam is so hard but it wasn't that bad and he gives a lot of hints! The one paper is really long and tedious and a huge pain but overall John is great!

Sometimes hard to follow in lecture, but gives great hints for the exam if you show up. Textbook readings very important to understanding lecture material. If you're going to do anything, READ THE TEXTBOOK!

Wouldn't take again

Confusing lectures as he likes to combine lectures and teach half of one lecture and half of another. Usually lets us leave early though. A lot of reading to do to be able to understand the lectures. Lectures can get kind of all over the place and confusing. But he seems like a good guy who really is inspired by psychology and loves his work

I ran out of money before I was able to finish my course and I was so hurt that it took along time to recover. Getting ahead is important to me for my sake and my son. Professor Mitterer was an answer to getting ahead and also getting to know the universe. I am retired and going back to psychology and I have him to thank.

I wanted to include hilarius as well. I wasnt there long enough to really make a difference but I ran out of money. I would take the course again. He impressed upon us to attend the lectures to make sure the student heard the lecture in person for the sake of inflection in the voice,etc. Brock is very lucky they have him.
