Great teacher!
I LOVE THIS MAN SO MUCH, I MAKE IT MY BUSINESS TO TELL HIM EVERYDAY, BUT TODAY, I MISSED MY OPPORTUNITY. IT IS 12:00 MIDNIGHT SO MAYBE IT'S NOT TOO LATE. I LOVE YOU PROFESSOR SOPCHAK, GOODNIGHT!!
He knows his subject and knows how to teach it, very good teacher!
He is a very groovy teacher!!!
excellent teacher, very friendly. Understands people.ives very good advice. Coolest teacher
This teacher relates well with his students. He comes off very real and sincere. I wish other professors would take some lessons from this guy.
GREAT TEACHER!! VERY CLEAR AND INFORMATIVE. TESTS ARE TAKEN FROM CLASS NOTES...NO SUPRISES.HIS CLASS IS SO MUCH FUN!!
I can't believe this guy is part-time. Someone at this school needs to listen to the students. If he can teach here full time, it's a no brainer.

great teacher. excellent personality. keeps the students awake with great sense of humor. highly recommended
He's very funny and he's very respectful and friendly to his students.
He's terrific! A great student advocate! Gives good advice and is very understanding.
The best teacher ever. I actually want to come to class everyday and I actually learn something. Making the class fun is the key. I can't wait to have this teacher next semester.
this professor is a very good teacher, he shows intrest in his students and in their learning. He makes it easy for you to go and talk to him about anything. I have to say he is the very best profeesor i've ever had, I wish he was teaching all my classes
More concerned with his score on this web site than with doing a good job teaching. Wants to be "cool." Often starts class late. Once gave a 100 on final exam to everyone who just showed up - what a joke.
Anybody who dosen't like this wonderful person and teacher is just crazy!!!
Prof Jack is one of the best Professors that I have had. I've enjoyed his class so much I'll be taking another of his classes in the Spring of 2005, would take it this coming fall but my schedule is full.
very good teaching format, easy listening, great on notes, fun class.
He is an excellent professor and definitly cares for his student . Wonderful helpful, tests are right from the lectures. Knows what he talking about. Highly reccomended. He is a 'cool' guy and he does not care about his reputation more than his teaching.
Who ever wrote the negative comment didn't have the same teacher I had. What planet are you from?
He is an excellent professor. If you have to take a psychology course take his.
U R blessed if u've crossed paths with this angelic being referred to as professor Sopchak! He's the best of the best! The lectures are awesome. The talent he exhibits is one that can't be learned via classical or operant conditioning..., IT'S TOTALLY INNATE!!! I RECOMMEND HIM, UNLIMITEDLY!!
great at teaching this class. he makes everything stick into your head, and he won't stop until u understand.
Professor Sopchak is straight to the point, and you always know what to expect; no surprises. He is firm, but fair, and never unreasonable. I respect him.
I had him for the second half of Intro. He cares about his students and you can tell he enjoys what he does. Recommended.
Sopchak is the best! He is a very realistic strait shooter. His class is very well organized & Taught. I LOVED his class, I only wish he taught other subjects. LOVE YA SOPCHAK!!!
He is the best teacher ever. He is extremely cool and his teachings are very fun. I would always fall asleep in a lass because it was boring but his class is not boring at all. It is a very interesting class and he makes it interesting.
hes mad cool and easy and when i wasnt doing that great he helped me out and makes the topic interesting and fun
Gifted, special and could not have done it all without him on my side!
Great teacher...:)
he is such an awesome teacher. very helpful and he keeps it real in the class room.all you have to do is ask and he'll answer.he is also very laid back.:)
He's the best teacher at HCC!!! This semester I would skip any class but his, because he's so fun and his way of teaching is so cool that he grabs your attention no matter what the topic is. If you need a psychology class there's no better person than Mr Sopchak!!!
he is a great teacher
Teacher gives material in a very clear and understandable manner. He makes it more fun with his "playing out scenes" and all his stories. A very fun teacher!
Best teacher I have had at HCC. I always check to see if he's teaching the next Psychology class that I need to take. I would recomend any one who wants to take psychology to go with Sopchak
He is a very good instructor. Will review until you know the subject well. made the course work fun. If you want to take this subject, he is the best instructor for it. His experience in this field really shows in his teaching.

He is the coolest!!! My fave professor at the school. Coolest teacher i've had my whole life....i wish he could teach more courses.
His creative style of teaching keeps everyone paying attention and succeeding! He has a lot to offer those who are interested in psychology, and will help students with anything else he can. ECERYONE should take a class with him at least once!!
Very excellent teacher. Interesting!
awesome teacher! easy!~
Very easy, may want to consider someone else for more indepth study.
He is very excellent. He says "If it dosn't come out of MY mouth, it's not on the test." Everything that he says is on the test. You don't even need the book for his class... he goes over everything with you! He also makes it very fun and entetaining. He is by far the best teacher that I have taken at HCC.
Look for another instructor if you want a more in depth understanding of the subject matter.
He does not go too in depth which makes it soooo much easier! He is very interesting. Easy A. His tests are very easy and not acummulative!
Great teacher - very down to earth and real!! Speaks in everyday language and gives examples to everything taught. Great personality! Makes learning very enjoyable.
BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD! TAKE HIS CLASS
Good teacher, makes it very easy to understand. Doesn't go into details. All around great guy
john is a awesome teacher. he has a great teaching method and knows what he is talking about. Take any class that he teaches. you'll love it
Hosest. Forward. Down to earth. Layed Back. Anything on his tests he gives you in his notes in class. It's right from the book but you can just go over the notes he gives you. One of the best teachers I've ever had!!!
one the best professor's I have ever had. one of the best teachers I had since I entered school as a kid. it is impossible to go wrong if you take him.
Best Teacher you could ever possibly have! Funny, loves to tell stories and makes the class amazingly simple to pass
Best HCC a year ago he made all my worries disappear!
i took psy111 and theories of personality hes awesome best professor at HCC take a class with him or your missin out!
understanding, tries to help when help is needed, hyper (good)fun teacher
This Professor is as good as they get...understanding, crazy, full of life, very knowledgeable, and overall Mr Sopchak is a wonderful person which makes the teaching environment worth paying attention to. I never daydreamed in his class which is unusual for me. In his class you don't even need to waste money and purchase a book.
I took General Psych with him and Theories of Personality. He is awesome. The best prof i have ever had. Love his teaching style.
he is good
Mr Sopchak is an awesome teacher. You will never have a dull moment in his class. He acts out alot of his teaching, so that you understand what he is trying to get across. I would highly recommend him and I look forward to taking his Child Psy class in the near future. Your the bomb Mr. Sopchak
Mr. Sopchak is an amazing teacher.. he is soo down to earth and is there to basicily teach you what u need to know, and would discuss any problems that u have in private,, he is like another friend that you can talk to at any time,, he is very understanding and is very fun,, he makes you want to learn,, you will not fall asleep i PROMIES,,
HE'S A GREAT PROFESSOR. I RECOMMEND HIM TO EVERYONE.
He is a really Great Teacher
i just had him for child psych. he is soooo great he explains eveything,, he explaings by acting out eveything,, he will STOP everything if ONE person dosnt understand..he is always in class evryday and he loves his students,,,
just awsome
When I feel like quitting he is the who always encourage me.He always make me laugh. Those teachers are the ones who make you keep going. They hold your hand for you to succeed. Thank you very much.
I have had Sopchak for every Psychology class I have taken at HCC. I would never imagine taking another teacher for the subject. Not only is he one of the highest regarded teachers at HCC but he is number 1 among the students as well...his classes are always filled immediately and he should be the only teacher for psychology
EXCELLENT PROFFESOR I LOVE THE EXAMS THEY ARE BRAINSTORMING
sopchak is the best!!!
Greatest teacher I've ever had. He explains everything and wont continue until everyone is on the same page. I DEF suggest taking him!!
He is an extraordinary person and a professor. Sweet human being, great friend.That's how I rate him, he become a friend to his students.
Best professor I have ever had!!!!!!
He is one of the best teachers around! He completley understands that life happens. He does not give you a hard time if you miss class. He is compassionate, funny and fair. He breaks everything down into layman's terms.He always commends his students for taking that 1st step back into college and continues to encourage them to push forward!
Sopchak is simply the MAN! Attendence is not mandatory but you should go so that you dont miss so much work! LOVE AND MISS HIM
Well, the reason everyone likes him is because he is a genuinely nice guy. But also because he is SOOOOO easy and tells good stories. Attendence,reading the book and studying are not necessary. He tries to be everyone's friend and succeeds. It's easy to see why he is so popular. nJust one thing: this is not really a college level course.
Prof Sopchak teaches, motivates, and cares about his students. You will actually look forward to his class. He's not easy, he's intro. Big difference. Consider yourself lucky if you get the chance to experience his lectures. He connects with his students and makes a difference in their lives. Truly a great professor.
Simply the best.. no more needs to be said..
Sopchak is one of the best professors I've ever had. He makes the class so interesting that you actually want to go. He's the nicest guy and down to earth. I DEF recommend anyone to take his class, and register early cause his classes fill up fast.
The lectures are fun and interesting. You don't have to write any kind of essay or take any kind of essay exam, so if you are not a good writer, that's not a problem at all in this class. Easy fill in the blank tests or multiple choice. Don't buy the book...you won't need it. This makes a good 5th class because you don't have to do anything.
Mr. sopcak is an amazing teacher. His clarity is outstanding and his class is easy. He is always there to help when in need and he is understanding. I deff. recommend everyone to take his class.
<3333
one of the best teachers I have ever had. Tells you what will be on the test and tells you what is important. If you got A's on all tests you don't need to take the final. I highly recommend his class he makes it fun and worthwhile.
Great Teacher! Mr. Sopchak was the best teacher I have ever had at HCC. He was very helpful and very funny. To me he acted like a student... NO ESSAYS! Only 4 tests! I give him an A+!
The only thing you need to know is this guy is VERY EASY. Easy A Sophchak is what they call him, and believe me, he lives up to his nickname.
Great Teacher, he's very funny and engages you in great conversation and learning.
great professor
Professor Sopchak is on FIRE!! awesome teacher! recommend taking him for sure! in fact i am taking him next semester
Mr Sopchak is the best teacher so far i have taken, He is very funny, and also cares a lot about his students. I can not believe that Psychology could be so much fun. I look forward to his class every-time i had to take him. Take him, you would not want to miss out on the excitement.
best teacher eva!!!!! love his stories ...he loves all of his students...and his family
took him 4 phsy 101 and child phsy absolutly love him....makes it sooo much easier to learn ...enjoys us and his family ..talks about them all the time...he like to get to know our outside lives as well...his way of teaching should be the same for everyone...NO BOYS
He is the best teacher alive. his classes fill up on the first week of registration. everyone should take his class, i had him both for gen.psych and child psych..GREAT TEACHER!
Excellent teacher! Renewed my interest in coming to class.If god could only make all teachers this good, we would have better students.
i took him for both Child and General psychology. Awesome, Awesome Awesome! He is funny, helpful and laid back. He really helps you to understand concepts and is full of interesting stories to help you learn, by far the best teacher I've ever had !
He renewed my faith in coming to class. What else can I say, He is one of the Best Profssors at Housatonic! Bravo!
Professor Sopchak is a great teacher and his class is enjoyable, interesting, fun and amusing!
A+Teacher explains everything very clear. Easy going very funny. THE BEST ! ! !
He awesome Professor!!!! He understand his students
I had Professor Sopchak for Child Psych and I loved his class. He is a great professor and a great person. He is very down-to-earth and wants everyone to do well. His tests are very straight forward and he drops the lowest one. He always has funny stories to go along with the info taught and makes the class interesting. TAKE HIS CLASS!
Everything you hear about tihs guy is true. Easy A. Great fifth class. You'll have to do nothing but sit in class and you'll do well.
The best professor ever. That's all that needs to be said
LOVE HIM!! The best teacher ever, he should really teach more than just one class!
he is the BEST PROFESSOR IN THE WORLD!!! he explains everything clearly and he makes the class fun not boring at all! if you can take his class! ** but if you can't take a joke don't take him.
John Sopchak ,if this comment seems a bit inappropriate i am sorry, but i have had a few to drink in celebration, then i had a few more to celebrate the fact that i was celebrating, then a few more to keep my buzz going. any way Sopchak i would invest my time and money in finding a way that we can clone you so that you can teach all subjects.
.It's hard to find a teacher like him that truly loves and cares for each and every student in his class. His lesson are easy to understand, and he makes damn sure you will understand every bit of it. If I could I would take his classes every semester! If you don't like hearing foul language-don't take his class. His jokes can be a bit offensive
Professor Sopchak, is an amazing teacher. I remember a few friends of mine suggested to me that i should take him, and i am so glad i did. There is never a dull moment in Professor Sopchak's class. Psychology is my favorite subject and Professor Sopchak made my experience in this class so much better. Thank you
Wonderful Professor overall!! You can't go wrong if you take him. Very humorous and helps you to understand with his crystal clear notes. Exams are... self explanatory only if you study haaaarrdd!! Stay focused and try not to miss class.
Absolutely incredible.. Notes are crystal clear. You can not fail his class if you attend it on a regular basis and write down whatever comes out of his mouth because .. trust me--- it will be on the test. 5 tests... no homework.. Easy A. Highly recommend him he really cares about his students.
Sopchak is a great teacher.What he lectures is on the test but u still need to read the chapters.He uses personal experiences which helps keep the information in your mind.He really cares about his students.He really loves his job.At time and can say inappropiate things but overall he's great
I think he is a very bad teach. It seems as though he acts like a student more than a teacher at a time. He is very pompous. No homework assignments just tests. All tests are multiple choice. I felt as though I didn't learn anything in his class.
He's a funny, sweet, very helpful guy. With that being said even though he lectures (although it doesn't seem like he's lecturing because he's really down to earth) about what is going to be on the test you'll still need to read the book. I found that I learned a lot in his class. Don't take him if you don't like unconventional professors.
Mr.S is a great teacher who's down to earth. Class is off beat but all in good fun.
BEST PSY TEACHER ! his test might be a little hard to comprehend but overall he is an awesome teacher and will try his best to teach in a way that everyon understands
kudos man...kudos..i love this guy..he makes school great and makes me want to actually attend ;)
He is one of the best teachers I ever had, super funny and understanding. His tests are all multiple choice which I love and oh there are no papers woohoo!! Take him you won't regret it.
Best teacher, period. You will enjoy his class. He has many jokes, and he is also a good person to talk to whenever you're going through an issue.
Best Profesdor I evet had..love this man! He is great
Great guy, very funny, full of fun surprises.
I was glad to be your student a million thanks to you. As you gave me the strenght, to make partial of my dreams come true. For the world you are one person, but for one person you are the world. And that person is me. Thank you! Thanks for the challenges, you have made me face,for they gave me the courage to be leading every race. I admire you!
Impressive
Best Psych and Child Psych professor ever. Teaches very clear, impossible to fail this class, pay attention, show up and you will see, you will LOVE these classes with him. He loves his student and wants to see you succeed. Test are generally multiple choice. He is the best and understanding. A must take class. Love him.
omg greatest professor you will ever have just pay attention and do you work
Awesome guy. My favorite class ever. Super nice, really gets you to understand the material
Great, understanding, funny teacher. Highly recommended!!

Sopchak is one of the BEST teachers I've ever had. He's really amazing and wants you to really pass. Very very helpful professor. I highly recommend him. I have so much respect for this teacher and you will to once you take him. I promise you that you will not regret it. Signed happy student :)
Great Professor. The student is always his greatest concern and he is our biggest advocate. I have taken him for 101 and Lifespan and I can say it was a priviledge to be taught by this man.
higly reccomend this teacher. he a fantastic teacher and he also very caring and understanding hcc can ue more teacher like him... no homework..just study for testfrom the book and take notes
THE BEST PROFESSOR YOU WILL EVER HAVE!
This man is FANTASTIC. Highly recommended. I wish I was a psychology major so I could take more of his classes.
HE IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!!! is took his class for a summer course and he is so down to earth..i love his style, the way he tries to explain by using his own life examples..i def understood what was going on
needless to say i LOVED taking sopchaks class! hes funny, keeps you interested, and explains things greatly! his tests are hard but he gives you everything in your notes! hardly any book work just make sure you got the notes and you'll be fine! hes understanding and blunt. very good teacher
Sopchak is awesome, his lectures are very helpful. His test are hard, but as long as you read and study you'll be fine. He truly understands!!!
Amazing professor extremely helpful and kind. Make your learning experience a pleasant one ensure that your not only pass just to pass but understand the material. He has vent session where we can express our self and concern about ANYTHING. The best professor HCC has to offer, I could got on and on about him. I would suggest taking him!!!!!!!!!!!!
this professor was ny far the best funny and every caring about his students and their educated i recommend him with a 100%
there is noone i can think of but taling this professor, this guy makes the class more exiting, higly recommend any one taking him, i personally love his class, make you feel like your at home
i love this professor, he makes the class a whole lot more interesting, every time, he can actually relate to the students, i HIGHLY recommned him in any subject
He connects lessons to real life, so it MAKES SENSE! If you don't have a sense of humor, don't take his class, he's off the wall - FANTASTIC GUY & professor. If you can copy his notes, you can pass his class.
EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE NOW! Buy the text book and write detailed notes in class.
Great Professor took Child Psych with him! He goes over everything using everyday real life examples. Everything he teaches in his power points and speaks of in class is on the tests so its straight forward. He is a caring professor that truly cares for his students and it shows in his teaching!
The best teacher i have had so far in my college career. He truly cares about his students and he has an awesome way of having us understand the subject! Very outgoing! Loved him!
Sopchak is honestly the most understanding psychology teacher I have ever had. Not only does he break everything down so that you understand it, but he also has a sense of humor. and NO HOMEWORK! Best teacher ever hands down.
Took Sopchak for General Psych & Child Psych and Dev. The most hands on, comprehensive teacher ever. What he says in class is EXACTLY what is on the exams. This man literally gives you ALL of the tools you need to succeed & get a good grade. Utilize your book and make sure to pay attention when he gives you a statistic, it WILL be on the quiz!
The best psychology teacher! Very hands on with the class and explains exactly what you need to know to pass and understand the subject! A very understanding teacher! All teachers should be a lot more like him! Awesome!!!!!!!!!! Nothing bad to say about him!
Great teaching style, relates lessons to stories which personally I found extremely helpful to have a connection. Funny, laid back, and truly cares about students.
He is an amazing professor and he has helped me out so much throughout the semester. When he says he has an open door USE IT. He is like a father figure to me, words cannot describe what he has done and I can never repay him. In the words of John C. Sopchak, " Love and Respect".
He is amazing! He is compassionate, funny, cool, and down to earth, over all a great person. What ever he says is what will be on the test SO TAKE NOTES!! He is a great mentor and what ever you learn from him you will keep forever! God Bless Professor Sopchak! God broke the mold when he made him!!
you have to study and takes notes in order to pass
Great great proffesor very happy and easy class. Not just to learn about subject,but also life lecturer for his students. Cares about everyone no matter of religion,race or ethnicity. If needed to take his class I would take it over and over.
Great professor! By far the most entertaining class I have taken at HCC. Sopchak makes learning psychology very fun & not boring whatsoever. He is constantly cracking jokes and telling us his life stories. There is no homework at all. Just a little note taking and a test after every chapter. If you show up there is no reason why you shouldn't pass!
This professor was EXCELLENT. The class was easy to understand. Work was not labor intensive. Come to class take his notes get an A.
One of the coolest teachers that I had the honor of having. I had a bad experience with my Eng. 101 teacher and was about to give up on school when I met him and he told me to never give up. He is an all around great guy.
awesome teacher
Amazing professor. He is hilarious and he gives real life examples to what he is teaching.
You don't even need to buy a textbook. His notes are enough to get you passing all your exams. He gives you examples so you can relate to real life. After failing Beverly Salzman's class, he was the salvation.
Great teacher, honestly the best professor I have ever had. His class is very straightforward , he tells you everything you need to know to pass the class with an A and he tells it in funny ways that relate to his own life experiences. If you ever attend Housatonic ,you need this teacher.
Professor Sopchak is an amazing professor, lecturer and person altogether. Taking his class is definitely a treat. He is a tough grader but very fair in how he runs the course. Though you are allowed to miss days in his class, you won't want to because of how phenomenal he is. I would definitely take him again without a doubt! ps: Take good notes!
BEST TEACHER AT HOUSATONIC!
Awesome professor. Tells interesting stories that pertain to the lecture. Tests are not to bad.
One of the best professor's I've ever had. HE CARES about you as individual! He wants to see success come out of his students. I would recommend him to any student. He made class interesting and straightforward. He is not there to trick you. MUST TAKE!
He is freaking awesome!!! He is the reason why I decided to get a minor in Psychology. I wish more professors use his technique to teach very dynamic and clear. So much fun and learning, along with great examples and life experiences we can relate to. Enthusiastic, nothing better than to meet someone who love what they do! Peace
One of the best professor amazing teacher breaks down examples of scenarios would definitely take another class with him
Makes learning fun, very helpful and easy to talk with! Highly recommend
I wish he could teach all of my classes.. simple.
Professor Sopchak is the most caring and inspirational Professor I've ever met! His lectures were so down to earth and relatable to every day life! His life's journey is basically a Psychology Book that needs to be published! He understands how to capture his students attention and allow learning to be fun, which motivated me to want to succeed!
This is the best professor you could ever have! He is funny, caring, and understanding. He always gives you the notes so as long as you write down the information he is giving then you have the answers to your test! He is clear and fair. Never tricks his students on tests. Shares personal experiences - They're funny, inspirational, and life lessons
Professor sopchack is the best best professor you could have. He loves and understand his student. Love and respect to you professor. --salute--
Excellent professor wish he could lecture for all my classes.
Proffesor sopchak is the best! I wish all professors could be like him. His teaching skills are amazing & he did not forget what it was like to be a student.
He was such a great teacher!! He gives out 5 test, and drops your lowest grade. He doesn't give out any homework. His lectures are amazing because he brings in the experiences that he has had over the years into the class. He will let you use any general psychology book that you want, so you could save money. Loved this class and the teacher.
If you want an A take professor Sopchak. He is amazing!!!
Great professor. Loves what he does and makes class fun for the students. If I could take him for every class I needed to graduate I would.
Most amazing professor/teacher I've ever had in my life. Changed my major to psychology because of him. So respectful and caring and treats students like they're real people and want them to succeed. As long as you take good notes and study them, you should do great in this class.
What a guy. I can tell you right now you are doing yourself and injustices if you do not take any of this mans classes. He is the best teacher I have had in my entire life. Do not miss out on this man , he will inspire you and make you feel comfortable and right at home. I wish I could've rated him a 10.
By far the greatest teacher!!!
Excellent teacher, love his teaching techniques. I would definitely recommend this professor.
I would second all of the things said below! Consistent expectation. No surprises, you know what to expect with this Professor! This is the class that will be refreshing after a long day.
Professor Sopchak made it so easy to actually fall in love with Psychology, he took his experiences and compared them to everything he taught us in order for us to get a deep understanding of what we are learning. Fun and educational class and he uses the same textbook for his class. He is hilarious and very relatable! I loved his class!
Best ever!! Really understanding, funny and laid-back! Great professor
Hes one of the best professors I've had personality wise. He likes to joke around but when he starts talking about notes, pay attention. If you show up to class and take a few notes here and there, you're going to pass. Also, be his facebook friend, it'll make him happy.
Great professor! Lectures are engaging, fun, and entertaining. He goes over exactly what will be on test. No homework except studying for the tests. If you show up and write down the notes, there is absolutely no way you can not do well. Exams are fairly easy and multiple choice. If you need Psychology then Professor Sopchak is your man!!
To be honest the best teacher I have had in my college career so far!!! He is very inspirational and has a great technique with teaching. He connects the world and pervious experiences with the class. Attendance wasn't mandatory , but if you don't go to class you won't pass. he tells you exactly what is on the exams.
He will be the best professor forever, if you want to pass a class and have fun you MUST TAKE HIM.
The greatest professors of all time , take any of his classes you won't regret it
The kind of professor that's hard to find. I love Psyc now because of his dedication and knowledge. One of the best professors of HCC.
He is one of the best professors I have ever had. He gives amazing lectures and is there for you. You will not regret taking his class
This guy is a real gem. Literally the best teacher. He gives you examples from real life to explain things, so you understand!!!! He also is so nice, and genuinely cares for you. I would take this guy again, no doubt. He is also gives little gifts ie.. extra points on tests etc! :)
IM SO GLAD I TOOK HIM! Such a caring young man! You will NOT regret taking any of his classes! JUST BE SURE TO RESPECT HIM AS YOU WILL GET THE SAME RESPECT BACK!
The BEST professor Ive ever taken!! Absolutely recommend. He gives 5 tests & thats all he grades, drops lowest, gives really inspiring lectures, & is VERY clear on whats going to be on tests. I was once late for a test for an emergency & while explaining it to him he says doesnt matter, just happy youre here & hands me the test. Hes the best
Professor Jack is 1 in a million. Even though psychology isn't my strong point, he made it interesting. Love and respect.
Hes honestly a great professor and I recommend everyone I know to take him. He didnt assign any homework, we had a few tests and they werent that bad. He gives us study guides and theyre basically the tests, he even drops the lowest grade! I would love to take him again.
Didnt think I passed BUT because hes so inspirational I studied harder and passed!! If he feels you have potential hell take you under his wing...... SIMPLY AMAZING!! #loveSopchak
Awesome professor!!!
Hes really good as long as u try and get involved you should pass.
Best professor EVER!! Love and Respect
Cool guy. He sparked my interest in Psych. Write down what he tells you to write down and study it a bit before the test and you will get and A. Do yourself a favor and pass on the textbook, I didn't need it in the slightest for both Psych 1 and 2.
Is passionate about teaching and makes sure everyone understands the material presented. Uses real life situations and applies the material to those, makes learning way easier! He is very respectful, caring, funny and very understanding to each students situation.
Very inspiring professor. His use of real life situations helps you to understand the material better. He will tell you exactly what to write in your notes and thats exactly what will be on the test. Do NOT buy the book- he doesn't use it, save your money.
Sopchak, is a well respected Professor. He gives very good lectures of the information that you will need for test. So listen & be sure to take notes and SHOW UP TO CLASS! Participation matters. Plus he tells awesome stories that helps you understand. He is very encouraging & he wants all his students to do great. Test are multiple choice! No HW.
Sopchak, a great professor he gives all the info to pass his exams. Be sure to take notes and study. No homework, he keeps you focused Don't miss class or exams. He is always willing to help if needed. Take his class you won't regret it!
you will be blessed just to MEET this man. he will be the best professor you've ever had if you take his class. grade compromises of tests only, don't miss class, he tells you everything you need to know. what an incredible human being, i am so blessed to have learned from him and his experiences. thank you professor sopchak <3

Gen. Psych and Lifespan Development..I freaking love this guy!!!! Literally so sweet and caring.. Just take this class that is all I have to say lol!!
I absolutely love professor Sopchak way of teaching. He does it in a way were you can relate and understand without all the stress
He is the best teacher his class is an unforgettable experience , he is awesome , compassionate and a great human being.
Professor Sopchak 's class is amazing, You have to attends class and take note. English is not my second language, with only his notes I am getting an A- You just have to read your notes. His explanation is clear than the book itself. You would never get bored on his class.
I took Professor Sopchak's class in the spring to replace my previous grade. He breaks down the subject for everyone to understand. Pay attention to his lectures and take notes word-for-word! 90% of his exams are based off of his lectures EXACTLY! Best professor that you will find! Role model of the century!
Great professor, hes super understanding! He loves to teach and is great at it. I would definitely recommend his classes!!!
Best professor ever I only had him for a short time because of covid but he impacted my life. He is the reason I chose to major in Psychology. Very caring and loved by all, as he say "please be my facebook friend."
Aw how I will forever miss Professor Sopchak! I took his off campus class, then covid hit and everything changed. BUT he still meet up with us to drop off & pick up work! The class was so easy he gave us his number if we had any questions or concerns. He is the ABSOLUTE BEST professor ever! (And yes, I added him on Facebook). ;)
