His class is cool!! Do your hw. 5 of them exact. 1 8pg.paper, Study for the tests, extra credit oppertunities and participation is good too.Funny guy. Never a dull moment. Keeps the class enterntaind.
Great teacher. Very entertaining.
i absolutely loved this class! i learned a lot of the material very easily and each day was like going to a comedy club. he is so nice and makes sure that everyone understands the material by repeating test questions. he even goes over the test before you take it. very easy class and very fun =)
He is very interesting and extremely helpful. Tells stories related to the subject to provide examples to clarify it, and even when stories do not relate to topic, still very amusing. He will "sacrifice his dignity" to help us learn and laugh. One of the funnest classes I ever had, and sends cram list for tests through email.
He's funny and makes the class very interesting. I learned so much! I took it during the summer & it was great! He does slide show/lectures and sends them to you along with a cram list for the test. i highly recommend taking his class.
I recommend taking him all day and all nite!! He has a great sense of humor and he ACTUALLY teaches effectively with powerpoint slides...he even sends you these slides/handouts/study guides so dont have to worry about writing notes just pay attention and review terminology for tests this class is EASY he even reviews before quizzes i got an A
he is with out a doubt the best professor at mt sac. he's super funny, makes every class fun. you learn a lot. he gives out study guides, so if you do those then you'll get a good grade on your tests.
Dr. Pellitteri is a really AWESOME professor! He's a really funny guy, loves teaching psychology, makes the class very enthusiastic and sometimes talks about his karate, lol. He gives good cram lists for each test and be sure to studying them and do extra reading from your textbook in order to pass the tests. Easy class!
i loved Dr. pelliteri, he was a great professor. always willing to help his students. he even gives the test questions out a week before the test. three tests are given, 5 homeworks, and a debate. unfortunately i could not attend the debate for personal matters, he was nice enough to give me a chance to redeem myself and make it up. funny guy too!!
interesting teacher
extremely fun teacher, very interesting, so easy, and so helpful, i definitely definitely recommend his class!!!
Very fun and entertaining class. psychology is very interesting and this teacher is perfect for the job, great humor, fun teacher,easygoing.best prof i have had so far. i promise he is a great teacher and youll learn a lot at the same time!
great teacher, and funny too
Great professor, very interesting and reasonable with everybody. One of those classes you regret get canceled because it's just that fun. Has a great sense of humor, 5 homework assignments the semester, and as long as you take good notes and study his cram list (he gives them before tests) you should get at least a B easy.
He's a great teacher. He knows how to get to the students level and actually teach the material. Go to class for lecture. I have a B in the class without using the book. SOOO many extra credit opportunities! I Highly recommend him.
Awesome teacher. You actually use your brain while sitting in this class. Lots of quizzes. Lots of youtube fun. You do have to use the book to get a good grade. Almost a perfect class except that it is 3.5 hours long.
I highly recommand him. He is a great professor and makes the class interesting! Use both of the lecture and the book. Lots of extra credid opportunities!! I got an A in the class. Take him, Awesome professor with sense of humor:)
very funny
i love going to his class! he is such a great teacher with great sense of humor! definitely recommend him! 20pts extra credits.. he gave out cram list and one thing i thought was helpful is he basically review the cram list before each test to make sure u know everything that will be tested on the exam! take him! :)
I took him this past summer and he is a great professor. I loved his teaching style. He goes over the cram list right before the test to ensure you do good. He also has a great sense of humor as well. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Cram lists and power points are important. Take his class. You won't be sorry.
I took him over the summer; it was the best decision I ever made. He presents the material clearly and provides a review sheet and lecture notes to help you on the exam. He is there when you need help and he wants you to succeed. He's an awesome lecturer but he's definitely a better person. Do yourself and him a favor and give the class all you got
Best professor of psychology ever! Dr. Pellitteri really loves to entertain us and has a lot of good sense of humor. Before the exams, he hands out study guides so be sure to study them and read all the chapters he assigns. Easy class! Take him, you'll love him!
He is an excellent lecturer; he is organized and gives you everything to succeed in his class: cram lists (study guides), notes, and extra credit opportunities. This being said, there is no reason for you not to do well in his class. He is very fair and understanding when it comes to grading as well. Take him!
Prof. Pelliterri is by far the best professor ever! He has great personality! i took him over the summer n i was looking fwd to his class everyday! He gave out study guide a week or two before every exam and go over every terms before the test is taken. he is also willing to work with u if u have any problems. he offers fun *extra credit* too! :D
He uses a lot of humor to make the class interesting, as well as to help you better understand the topic. he basically gives you the answers before the test. awesome teacher! :D
Dr. P is amazing. He is funny and his experience as a psychologist allows for him to tell some pretty amazing and interesting stories. Everyone in class was saying how they were so disappointed that the semester was over. He's fair and funny and class goes by way too fast! Learned A TON!!! P.S. he likes guacamole. =)
TAKE HIM! TAKE HIM! He will really make you enjoy psychology! Man, since this professor is really, really funny I would love to see him do stand-up comedy. Thanks Mr. Pellitteri, you helped me a lot!
great teacher! hilarious! tries to help you a lot but you need to study on your own as well
What a fantastic teacher! I learned soooo much in this class! He keeps class interesting and gives you all of his powerpoints which, if you study them and go to class, help a ton on the test. I bought the older book because it was way cheaper and I barely used it. Take him! You won't regret it.
His abnormal psyc class was interesting and hilarious. His class very easy as long you at least read the chapters and re-read the .ppt's. One big assignment to write a review on a clinical book, jusst stay on track and you'll do very well.
He is such a good professor. Not boring at all; very funny. His lecture notes are useful and detailed. He gives a cramlist for every "quiz", which are more like tests. Study the cramlist & make flash cards and you're good to go. As long as you study for each quiz, you'll do really well. Grade made up of 4 quizzes, research paper, 5 hws, & final.
OH.. this teacher definitely deserves a chili pepper! He is extremely helpful and probably the best teacher out there in Mt. Sac.
WOW best Professor I have ever had the pleasure of having, very interesting, hilarious beyond belief, Highly Highly recommend him do the reading and read powerpints guaranteed A!
Professor Pellitteri was probably one of the best professor I've had at Mt. SAC to date. His homework assignments were all every easy and his test are all easily passible with an A. He gives out a cram list for all exams so make sure you study those and use practice sections at the end of each chapter in the book!
You need the book. It really helps. This teacher is hella hilarious, so it's hard to be bored in class. He's very nice and leniant and you pratically have an unlimited amount of extra credit opportunity. Take him!
If you go one day without laughing in his class, there is something fatally wrong with you. His assignments are easy and he offers plenty of extra credit. And worship the cram lists he gives. You will not regret taking his class!
AWESOME TEACHER.. FUNNY, GREAT TO LEARN FROM...VERY SMART....RED HOT CHILI PEPPER
Taken him twice for different Psychology classes. He is my favorite professor at Mt Sac. Hilarious! He makes class fun and keeps it interesting. Very helpful and clear. I looked forward to class each day!
Omg... Best teacher In mt.Sac.. I'm currently taking him this semester for psy 1B.. He's so smart, funny, and knows what he's doing... Also he has beautiful smile... And deserve a chili pepper..take him take him take him.
I will be the first to write on the behalf of the psych 1B class! There was ALOT of material to learn and remember but I must say after taking this class I think about life differenly. It is not an easy subject but the professor is GREAT and explains the material very clearly. Study for the tests and you'll be fine.
Awesome. Hilarious, keeps u interested the entire class period. Very helpful and make materiel that would seem verry difficult easy to understand. I wish he could teach all my psych classes. Tests are straight forward, don't use book that much but the book is very helpful. TAKE HIM.
Dr Pellitteri is a real professor who is sincere in teaching the materials to his students clearly and effectively. He makes attending the class fun and exciting.He is clever, funny, professional, humane with beautiful heart, very understanding, and I am so lucky to have him as my professor. He is the best professor that I had ever had.
Probably the best professor i've ever had. He takes a boring topic and makes it interesting
Overall, Study guides:3 exams(final included). Quizzes: open book. Tons of EC available. Cooperates with the whole class, makes it interesting/exciting for 3hrs. Tons of information in psychology careers. A great person who cares about the education of everyone. Need Advice? Ask him.
Best teacher I've ever had. He was amazing in engaging the class and keeping our interest even in topics that may seem boring. All instructions were straight forward and he was always open for questions and concerns if you had any . If i could have him be my professor for the rest of my college life i totally would do it.
Loved his lectures! He brings the material to life. He's funny and open to questions. 2 Tests + 1 final, 1 scholarly review paper, in class "labs"/workbook, weekly 10 pt quiz on moodlerooms, tons of extra credit! Study guides & slides available on moodlerooms. Gives advice on psych careers. Approachable and genuine professor! Take his class! :)
I love this class, he is a very good professor, I'm learning a lot. He makes sure everyone understands the materials and he turned the class really easy and fun.
first and most likely the only time i make a comment on this site.... literally the best teacher i had at mtsac. im a student that always skips class and still manages to pull away with pass, but i never missed a single day for this class, i will sorely miss the class and teacher. "we are definitely better then Tuesdays class!
He is hilarious, I always wanted to be in class. Definitely not an easy class but he makes the material interesting. If you are looking for a great experience in college then take one of his classes!
This class IS NOT easy unless you're good at science/ biology. It does get easier as it goes along though and the professor is very funny/ helpful. Stick with it, he wants you to succeed. Go to EVERY class. Tests heavily based off of lectures. Do extra credit. He seems strange at first, but you'll warm up to him. Give him chili pepper!
Great professor. Helps to attend class and review the notes on moodlerooms :) journal review it sounds scary but do it early he will help correct it and turning it in early is extra credit!! 15 quizes on moodle and answers are in the book doesnt make you buy a big expensive book overall great proffesor dont miss lecture:)
This class is very fun! you will learn a lot of very interesting things.. Professor Pellitteri makes the subject fun!!He really cares about his students and wants everyone to do well in his class.. You will not regret taking his class..
The best professor in Mt. Sac. Very intelligent, knowledgeable, and hilarious. He really wants students to learn the material. Exams are not hard if you go to class everyday.
hilarious hilarious hilarious... take him
Professor is indeed hilarious and easy However it is difficult to distinguish if the class was easy because he's an informative and helpful teacher or because his grading is fair He sometimes tends to go off topic yet his discussions are relevant and helpful in understanding concepts He genuinely knows his material and is also very enthusiastic.
OMG! Seriously an amazing professor! Hands down! Super hilarious!! I seriously loved coming to class because of him and I learned allot because he made the material easy to learn and fun! Got an A and i will definitely try to take him again!
Class was SUPER fun! Had to take online quizzes after each lecture (be sure to do those on time). Also had a journal review paper, start that one early cause finding good articles can take forever. Tests are all multiple choice, nothing to worry about. Take good notes, pay attention in class, and you'll definitely ace them.
Seriously he is the best professor I had in Mt sac. He's very intelligent, funny and most importantly, he really wants everyone to succeed. I actually learned a lot in this class because of how he brings the subject to life. Just go to class everyday, ask questions, study and you'll get A
Awesome prof... amazing lectures... overall a fun class.. recommend doing the research paper early to get it out of the way..
TAKE HIM! His class is so much fun and you actually learn because its so interesting. only need a workbook which is cheap. offers a fun e.c opportunity and has a cool badge system going which will help keep you motivated. he truly cares about his class and rewards students when he can, he is funny and approachable and will make sure you understand
Don't need a textbook, but need to buy a workbook (cheap), there are 3 tests and a research paper. Really easy, just try. Lectures a lot but then goes over it again and again. ASK! No matter how many times you ask, he won't get annoyed, trust me. He says he teaches it like a PHD class, but he goes over things multiple times and his jokes are funny
He is the most funniest professor ever. I literally almost peed my pants a few times lol. His motto is study hard test easy. Yes you need to study to pass his class but he practically tells toy what will be on the test, there are no surprises. Study the PowerPoint slides, do workbook and you wont have problems passing the class or his exams.
Best professor teacher I have ever had in my entire life. took him in winter, he always let us out early but clearly went through the material to make sure we understood it. actually teaches it to you not just reads off a powerpoint. 3 exams & he gives you a study guide for all of them. One workbook needed. hes extremely funny too. TAKE HIS CLASS!
I enjoy every second of his class Really thought-provoking and totally change my perspective of viewing the world Do the work study hard you will get an A He really knows how to grab students' attention but he stays on the topic
Hilarious! Take him you will not regret it! Must study, overall interesting class and great teacher. Textbook is only $35 and deserves so many chili peppers
I wish he taught every class I've had. his lectures are clear and entertaining, many extra credit opps, and tests aren't hard at all.
AMAZING Professor! He's very clear and thorough with his lectures. He gives maximum 20 points extra credit. He has a workbook that you need to purchase for the class. 2 midterms, a final, and a research paper. DO NOT MISS CLASS!!!
Awesome professor --and hilarious! Great lectures, I learned a lot. Learning the material was difficult (it's not an easy subject), but he made learning fun and interesting. Weekly online quizzes. Studying for tests is a must! Loved that his required text was only $35 at D & N.
I seriously wish all my professors taught like him. Professor Pellitteri made the lectures understandable and fun! He takes the time to explain it thoroughly and has a great sense of humor. One of my favorite professors I have ever took.
This is my third and last year at Mt. SAC and this professor has probably been my favorite professor at Mt. SAC. He is hilarious!! And he makes a tough subject much easier. Professor Pellitteri is phenomenal at what he does and I would recommend this professor to whoever needs Biopsych. I just wish he taught more Psych classes!! Take him!!!!
Professor Pelletteri is amazing! I wish he could teach all my psych classes and I hope that I get the opportunity to be taught by him again. He is hilarious, and makes learning (about neurons) really interesting. I always left his classes feeling intelligent because he helped his class understand the material.
I LOVED Prof Pellitteri's class. He is nice, hilarious, engaging, and truly cares about teaching the material to his students (despite it being a GE course). You won't fail if you skip class, but everything I needed for his tests I got from his lectures. If not for the info, then go for entertainment! It was my favorite class of the semester.
Dr. Pellitteri is the bomb! He's hilarious, knowledgable, and understanding. Class can be very long, but he makes it interesting. You have to work in groups/partners quite a bit but it helps your understanding. Online quiz after every class. Tests are fair! Material is difficult but with studying, it's manageable.
CHILI PEPPER AESTHETIC, HILARIOUS REMARKS, ENDLESS CHARISMA/PASSION! Best decision of my academic career to take this course, the material is fascinating and valuable and he makes a tough subject SO interesting to learn! Prepares you for all exams, offers extra credit, and helps his students in all regards! HIGHLY recommend!
he talks really fast and he's a class clown. he makes jokes more than he lectures.
This professor is amazing. He really cares about his students that they understand the material and teaches it in a way that anyone can understand. From the beginning of class he tells you that he is there for you and its him and you against the material, not him and the material against you. We need more teachers like him
Dr. Pellitteri is a great Professor he keeps the class interesting and is extremely knowledgeable in his profession i would definitely take him for another class and wish more professors had his attitude and demeanor.
He makes a difficult class way easier. Organization&time management A. Print notes& look over them before class. In class pay attention at what he repeatsite it down. Ask questions. Go home&do the super easy online quizzes .Dont miss class or youll fall behind but trust me youll enjoy showing up. Everyday is so fun. TAKE HIM.
I took an online 8-week class which was easy if you did the work. 2 discussion posts a week (500 words each) based on the Textbook. 4 responses a week (200 words each) to other students. A 10 question quiz each week. He gives you an A if you meet the requirements and use textbook terms in the posts. Answers to quiz/final are online.
I took the 8 week onlince class. Professor Pellittteri really wants you to understand and learn from this class. Textbook is needed, 2 chapters a week, a ten question quiz weekly, 2 discussions posts and 4 replies weekly and a final. He is a tough grader when it comes to the responses, make sure you incorporate terms from the readings.
AMAZING PROFESSOR! makes psychobiology very interesting. is very qualified and cares a lot about his students. TAKE HIM
Professor Pellitteri is one of the best professors at Mt. SAC. Even though the content of the lectures are heavy, he makes it easy for his students. If you need Psyc 1B, definitely take him. You will learn a lot!
This is the professor to take if you are looking for a great teacher. I took Dr. Pellitteri for Psyc 1B . He made the class interesting and easy. He answers all questions and makes it student friendly and very helpful.
hey is an amazing teacher who really cares about your grade he makes psych 1B a enjoyable class. i love all his lectures . also test are easy if you study the cram list. also don't miss any of the online quizzes it will hurt your grade if you miss too many
I love this class, he made it easy to understand the course because I had another professor & she was terrible. I'm glad I take his class, is hard but as long as you study you'll pass the class )
Pellitteri is an amazing professor. He truly cares about you learning the material. He understands that this is not an easy subject however he makes it fun and interesting and extremely engaging. Do the work and you will pass. And don't forget to take the quizzes!! That makes a difference from a B to an A! Take him, you won't regret it.
Professor Pellitteri is an amazing professor. He works with you and provides helpful feedbacks in order for you to succeed. There is a workbook that you need to purchase but it is at a reasonable price. DO ALL OF THE QUIZZES and KNOW ALL OF THE TERMS ON THE STUDY GUIDE! Overall, I would take him again. He made the class very interesting and fun.
He is an absolute GEM! His way of teaching is amazing. Great Professor, very likeable, and fun conversations! I usually fake laugh when professors crack jokes, but I was truly laughing in this class! He has a way of telling a story while relating it into psych and then it embedds in your brain! I didnt miss classes, but I did a few assignments.
Why is a Clinical/Licensed Psychologist teaching at Mt. Sac?! He's way overqualified! Take him while you can! 5pg paper, weekly quiz, 3 tests, & workbook (no book!). Lots of personal stories & cases! 1st day of class he will trick you (don't fall for it!). Don't Diss his Mt. Dew! Eccentric, a Trekkie, loves classic rock, & crosswords!! #NOSOURCREAM
HILARIOUS professor! Very caring, quiz once a week but they arent hard. Only one paper the whole semester. Make sure to do the extra credit, it is not hard and its so helpful to your grade! make sure to come to every class for credit and pay attention
Really awesome and knowledgeable professor not to forget hilarious. I recommend taking Psychology for effective living. It's a new class that is diverse and covers a lot. The class starts out with 10 minutes of mindfulness!
My favorite professor of all time. I'm not even a psychology major and he made me consider switching. He taught me so much in the span of 12 weeks and made the learning process fun. He genuinely cares for his students and wants them to succeed. Definitely not an easy A but you will learn things everyday that pertain to psychology and life.
He is a hilarious professor with lots of humor, but he requires too much for a 6-week term. I want a 5-6 page research paper. He requires you to buy a workbook that you need to finish. 3 online quizzes a week and 2 exams + 1 final. You need to sign for attendance which you will lose a pt. If I was a professor, I would not assign a research paper
He is a good guy but he is too humorous on his quizzes and tests which can be a little biased. His powerpoints and test do correlate that much. take notes when he is talking because most of the questions on the test are verbal lessons. He will not write steps down on a whiteboard but will explain it verbally. you need to take notes when he is talks
AMAZING professor! Wish i could take him for EVERY psych course. I've never liked science untill i took his course. Made lecture very interesting and engaging and want all his students to pass. "Study hard test easy"
This guy is really cool. He's very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He likes messing around which keeps students stimulated during lecture. He can be a little hesitant to give clear responses; persistence is key! There isn't much extra credit, so make sure you're ready to study.
The best professor in the psych dept. Dr. Pellitteri is knoweldgeable, interesting and has a wonderful sense of humor.
I really cannot emphasize enough how AMAZING this professor is. We started as a regular class, but due to the COVID-19, we had to change to online. It was a very hard transiting with all the madness in the world. He stayed and SUPPORTED us 1000% of the time! Such an amazing professor. HIlarious, loved his lectures, his workbook is incredible !!LOVE
I took Professor Pellitteri previously and was really intrigued by his teaching methods, he's clear, concise, and adds humor to the class. The transition from in-person to online was smooth and he outlines what is needed at the beginning of the week. Get ready for discussions, quizzes, reading and understanding PPT's, and a paper!
I took Dr. Pellitteris class on campus & then transitioned online due to the pandemic. His lectures on campus are so fun & entertaining & continued to be so online! Online exams are 100 qs but he gives you the pdf of the exam before the due date so you can find all your answers before turning it in. He could make you laugh on ur worst day! 10/10
dr. pellitteri is incredible!! the best prof i ever had. class was really easy, very structured! as long as you have the book to work with, you will pass with an A no problem. the class is async. weekly discussion posts, quizzes and activities but i swear they are SO easy as long as you answer questions in full. very understanding, funny, and sweet
Great teacher from top to bottom. You are going to be forced to learn and everything you do is fun and informative. He will not waste your time and you will be able to get a good grade. Every test/quiz is fair. All of his assignments can be finished within a reasonable amount of time, even the research paper. Not a tough grader, easy A.
amazing professor, hes super kind and doesnt overwork you.
He's an easy grader, but the workload is a bit heavy. The class consists of mostly discussions, quizzes, and activity. There are 3 exams and 1 paper.
I highly recommend Professor Pellitteri! He is very passionate about psychology, which makes his class enjoyable. He had very fun discussions, clear assignments, supplemental videos, and funny videos of himself and his daughter. He provides everything you need to succeed and keep the class interesting/engaging. I wish I took his class in person!
Professor Pelliteri Is awesome. Take this class you won't regret it.. there is 2 discussion questions every week and a quiz every week. 3 exams and a final. This is a fun interesting class!
Prof Pellitteri is pretty cool. He clearly cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Took him for Spring 2021- he gives really good feedback. The class has a lot of reading but the assignments are straight-forward and some of them arent too difficult. Wish I took his class in person.
I wanted to tag Participation Matters and Hilarious because I have truly never loved a class so much! I will admit if you don't put the work in this class will be difficult. But take it from me, I usually hate any bio classes but I absolutely loved this class. He's one of the very few professors that actually cares and gives you insight into jobs.
Professor Pelitteri was a really nice! Really wants to be a connection for students if you are pursuing Psychology. The lectures could be all over the place but definitely nothing hard, there is a quiz every week but everything is in the slides he provides. Definitely not hard as long as you keep up with the small assignments, the usual.
Dr. Pellitteri has been one of my favorite professors I have had so far. You can tell he really cares about building a good rapport with his students and cares about their success. He is a licensed psychologist and it was great having his professional insight on the subject of biological psychology. Would definitely recommend taking him.
I really liked this professor, don't get me wrong the class is rated as easy but it is not really easy, but it is just straightforward. You definitely got to put the work in, but the professor was one of the best I've had. Unfortunately, I was going through very difficult personal things, but he understood and worked with me. Solid choice.
Easy Class! All quizzes/exams can be found in his PowerPoint or online. Easy grader always provides full credit for just trying. I highly recommend him. He is very understanding and communicative. She provides videos and announcements to check-in. One research paper, take advantage of extra credit.
I honestly really like taking Dr. Pellitteri's class. His videos are so funny & I like that he adds comedy to everything he teaches us so it could help us learn. It is important to read the book & stay on top of the notes he gives you so it could help you understand the content. Don't hesitate to ask him for help or clarification through email.
He is amazing at what he does. Very charming and sweet and hilarious! He made classes a place to look forward to. I love how he challenges your opinions and questions where you got your facts, and it teaches us to be more aware. Not a psych major but he made me consider it!
I took his class online and it was really enjoyable. He's the funniest and yet most caring professor I have ever had. His test is very simple if you study the notes that he has available online for you to review. Overall, easy class. Definitely recommend!
Extra credit is hard to get. A lot of videos. Homework is a lot if you want to be a serious student. The grade is not negotiable. Quick reply to the email. Not a tough grader. Jar review will lose a lot of points if you don't meet something. The book is expensive. A lot of workshops. Could be your monitor. He is a wonderful person. Humor and kind.
People who did not read the textbook randomly reply to discussion questions and think this class is not hard. If you read the textbook and then answer the questions it will be a hard class for you. Quizzes can not be found online. Jar paper was hard. The textbook is difficult to read. He has his rules and will not change. Not an easy A.
Humorous and approachable. If you have any questions, email him. Yes, the content of the textbook is HEAVY. Final exam was harder than I assumed. Be prepared for details in the textbook to appear on the exams and quizzes (e.g. which example did the textbook use to describe...). Videos were very interesting and inspirational. Put in the effort = A
I was inspired by Professor Pellitteri, he enjoys his work and it made me enjoy the subject. I also loved his lectures he did on Tuesdays for anyone interested in pursuing psychology further as a career. The class was a little hard but not impossible to complete. You will need the textbook for certain parts that are harder. I would recommend him.
A very understanding, funny, and patient professor! I was able to absorb material well due to his lectures. There are many assignments that give you an opportunity to help your grades. The overall structure of the class was easy to follow.
Every class was extremely engaging and very insightful. He really pushes you to participate as an individual and in group settings. All of the topics discussed were heavy but he made it a safe and judgement free environment to speak your mind. This class really helped me think a lot more critically and he is the best professor at Mt. Sac!
This was by far my favorite Psych class ever. His lecturing was engaging & it made me eager to learn. He verbally quizzes the class often to make sure you're retaining the information & will break things down if there is uncertainty. Really make sure you show up to class, take notes & do your cram list to ensure success. Best professor ever!
This professor is a really good teacher he gives good lectures and make sure you understand the lecture well and if you have any questions, he will be sure to answer them.
Professor Pellitteri is amazing. I enjoyed his lectures and I loved learning in his class. Prepare to study for the exams. You receive points for showing up to class. In addition, if you miss one day of class, you miss a good chunk of the learning material. Overall, I highly recommend this class.
Prof. Pellitteri is AMAZING! By far the most inspirational professor Ive taken in college. He's entertaining and keeps your attention the whole time. Vry important that you pay attention to his lectures cuz you can get lost quickly, but he is very good at answer questions when you ask. If I could, Id take all my classes from him. Highly recommend.
took psych 1b in the summer and i'd recommend him! he has lots of resources and i recommend to take 1b in the summer, since you can just get it over with. there was around 6 discussion questions a week with a quiz and an activity. jar paper wasn't hard but this class is quite heavy over the summer. be ready to put in a lot of time
I recently took professor Pellitteri during the Summer, It was a lot of work, there was a lot of information to learn in a short amount of time, Pellitteri is a great professor he is super funny too. Be sure to stay organized so that you don't fall behind. The quizzes weren't hard just have to make sure that you are keeping up with the readings.
He was a very kind teacher but so much work and assignments & quizzes, when many of us students have other classes as well to attend to. 4-5+ assignments to complete every week and in proper long written responses. For me personally, I would not take again. But everyone may have a different experience, try him out for yourself.
very organized when it comes to the homework he assigns but man does he assign a ton of homework. You will be doing 4-5 assignments a week and don't think you get a breather for exam weeks because you will be studying and preparing to take your exams ON TOP of your typical workload{edit:I bumped it up because he's nice enough}
Professor Pellitteri is a fun professor who makes a lot of dense content easy to understand. I took both biopsych/psych1b with him as well as abnormal psychology. He is funny, engaging, and actively tries to make sure the people in his class understand the topic. He also does review days before the exam that help a lot.
Professor Pellitteri's class is challenging but rewarding. Attend lectures, engage with the material, and utilize resources like the textbook and unstuckstudy for study prep. Overall, a valuable learning experience.
Psych 1B was somewhat difficult, however prof pellitteri offers extra credit opportunities to help you out ! This class requires a big chunk of reading and writing, don't procrastinate...
Hard class, other than that he isn't a bad professor. A lot of assignments and kind of a tough grader. I took his online class and it was so much harder than expected. He does respond to emails fairly quickly so that's nice.
He lacks organization but he repeats the info frequently so that helps retain the info. His exams are long (100 questions).
