He is terrible and rude. He tests on material not covered in class; he says it is your responsibility to know the info whether he teaches it or not. Also requires an oral presentation. Material on final not even covered in class! Not recommended.
No Comments
HE is a tough teacher. He does not a have a personality. But he does make you try harder. There is alot of material to cover and he does it. If you can't handle a high speed class do not pick ZEEb. he pushes you to your limits. Just because this is c community college doesn' mean the material is supossed to be esy
Students at community colleges don't expect work to be easy. That still doesn't mean they pretentious snobs w/ no personality or teaching skills in the classroom!
this man is stupid should not be teaching at all. tests on things he dose not lectur on. very monoton voice.
Speaks clearly, needs more focus on Test Prep.
His class was soooo boring!!! I really looked forward to it in the beginning. He contradicts himself a lot. When he does his lectures, he just pretty much copies the book word by word so by the end you pretty much rewrote the book. He tests on material that wasnt even covered. Overall I hated the class. I dont' recommend him.
If you keep up with just the main concepts and take notes , you`ll do ok . He gives out extra credit as well , and they REALLY help you out . I started with a D and ended up with a B just for doing the extra credit . And i`m no where near studious ... never really read the book !
Don't take him if you are not up for a challenge... and i mean CHALLENGE! All of his tests are hard.. clear lectures, but long and boring, they seem endless.
he is the most anal teacher and most of the time he says all check on that for you because he doesnt know the answer oh yeah everytime you give a answer he'll mark it in his book for class participations points WERIDO!!!
a decent teacher.isn't too friendly. the way he talks is boring but he trys to sound exciting by always saying, "wow that's amazing!" he always ask the class if we have any questions.
He isn't very easy, but all you have to do is pay attemtion and study A LOT. Everything on the test is in the book, and if you follow the study guide he gives for every test, you will do just fine. If anything he should give some quizzes or somehting. You grade is based on 3 tests, a paper, a final, and 30 points participation. IT's not THAT hard.
This class was so boring! He has no personality whatsoever, and he reads straight from the book. Why even bother staring at his mug and listening to his monotonous, droning lectures for 2-3 hours? If all you're going to do is read from the book, then just take the class online!
drop him after the first week
tough class i didn't pass because i'm not so great on tests so if you aren't that great on doing tests i dunno he's tough he also says, "wow, that's fascinating stuff!" a lot so look out for when he says that
The material he teaches is interesting but he needs to do more activities that will get the class involved. A lot of note taking. Take this class if you're up for the challenge.
Lots of note taking, tests are moderate and his study review isn't much of a help. His lectures are VERY clear and easy to understand if your paying attention. LOTS OF EC if you are in desperate need
Excellent teacher. Really clear lectures on powerpoint. Lots of opportunity for extracredit. Gives study guides for every exam. Exams are doable if you study. Is willing to research answers to questions
Great teacher. I will take him again.
Great teacher. lecture is very thorough, he's very prepared. Tests are VERY difficult. Gives lots of extra credit opportunities.
ehhh... He lectures everyday and all his lectures are pretty much him summarizing exactly what it said in the book. No original input on his part. He cant even answer your questions, just says "ill look into that for you." He grades the written parts of the test pretty harsh. You pretty much have to read everything in order to get a good grade.
Best teacher I have ever had. I don't know what that person was talking about, he researches answers to difficult questions and answers the next class period. Gives lots of extracredit. Gives studyguides for every exam. Jeopardy rules! No homework, just reading the text for exams. You get to drop your lowest exam.
His tests are not hard if you read the chapters required and pay attention in class. He is big on class participation and attendance, he requires students to be on time, like all instructors should. If you are serious about your education and put in effort I recommend him all the way.
Really learned alot in his class. Very friendly and helpful. Gives alot of extracredit. Power point lectures that are clear. Good sense of humor. Gives studyguides for every exam.
Best teacher in the world. Very generous with the extracredit. You have to be an idiot or just not study to get below an A in the class. Entertaining jeopardy game for extracredit. Gives studyguides. Very friendly teacher. Lectures reflect the material perfectly. Recommend him 100 times over.
This guy could care less if you pass his class. He is a disgrace to the teaching profession. He encourages students to drop. No one in the teaching field should tell any student anywhere to "QUIT". What about try harder and I will help you to succeed. There are far more "Superior Teachers" on campus take one of them NOT "ZEEB". Good luck!!!!!!!!
He is a great Professor! I enjoyed the way he taught the class, had jepeordy games to make extra points. He was very understanding and helpful if you were respectful and interested in learning. He is very strict.
VERY picky grader. seems like a prick. to sum it up, DONT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU WANT TO PASS! i wont make the same mistake taking him again.
i tried my hardest on getting at least a C and i still ended with a D, I recommend not to take this class, He told me to drop the class which i thought was rude, i should of just done it anyway. Oh well, n for those who like him, YOUR CRAZY!!!
I don't know why everyone else is bashing him. He was great. I took him over winter and passed with a "c". I got d's on the first 3 tests and a "b" on the last one, and a "c" on the final. He gives a paper which is kind of long, but just work on it the first chance you get. He has extra credit jeapordy and gives extra credit if you do a 2pg ppr

If you want to learn in his Psychology class, then show up. He is very concise and wants his students to succeed. He goes by lecture and assigned reading. Gives numerous opportunities for extra credit. Would recommend taking him 110% of the time.
Extremely difficult class, you get to learn quite a bit though... unlike other teachers... you have to write a 9 page paper for this class... if you study and keep up with the studying you should be ok...
I don't have a problem with coming to class and being prepared to EARN my grade; however, I do have a problem with rude, disrespectful instructors who simply read from the book or the overhead. I know how to read, and I can do that myself at home; as far as being rude and disrespectful, he ought remember just who's paying his salary!
I came into this class not really caring about it much at all. I always found the lecture to be interesting. he lets the class discuss things so the lecture isnt boring. The tests greatly reflect the lectures and online questions quizzed that are from the website mentioned in the book. Would most definitely go to again!
Zeeb's class isn't hard, he just reads off the book/powerpoint. His study guides are terrible. They're too general. You'll end up just reading the whole book. If you like big group projects and speaking in front of the class for at least 15 minutes, then this is the class for you. He's rude too.
Dr. Zeeb was an above-average teacher. I enjoyed his class and learned a lot. I got an A in the class, but it was probably easier for me because I took Psychology in high school. Take good notes and pay attention to his lectures and you'll do fine. He also offers extra credit jeopardy games, and they really help with studying.
Hard teacher, alot of studying is needed. one major project that you have to present. overall pretty do-able. just study hard!!!!! tests on lecture and book.
i like his explanations and his ability to give some good memory q's. and no he does not just read whats on the overhead... HE GIVES EXAMPLES for whats on the overhead and explains them pretty well. all i did for the first exam was pay attention and read only 1 out of the 4 chapters and i passed it..pretty easy.. except for that essay thats do. lol
Don't take him! Study guides are too broad. You end up reading the book. If you like reading then you may do fine.
Professor Zeeb is a good teacher for what he teaches (psy) but not in the way he teaches it. Sometimes it's really boring and he's kinda sarcastic about things.
He is a good teacher overall but you have to study alot bcs his study guide is too broad. His lectures are okay but you need to read the book yourself he might not go over thing in class but will be on the test. I like his jeoperdy review game bcs you can earn e.c pts but not all ?'s r on test. You need to study hard. Plus he will drop after 3 abse
attendance is mandatory. you need to participate and go everyday to get your part. points. He will look at you bad if walk out in the middle of his lecture or if u are late too. The info. is very interesting and his ppwepoints is helpful, but you need to work hard to earn a good grade. hes an Okay teacher but should not require a present. paper, wi
The Hardest teacher!!!!! Don't take him..Mr.Johnson is way better thank God I dropped.
Super hard class. He doesnt explain anything good because he's really sarchastic. Lots of reading from the book. Such a boring class, so boring i had to drop.
Personally, I enjoyed his class. He has sarcastic moments, but I appreciate sarcasm. The class is more on the difficult side, but I believe it's the subject not his teaching skills. I received an A in the class with a 88%. He recognizes the effort a student puts in & rewards it. I recommend his class, especially if you're interested in the feild.
Zeeb was difficult, but at least he was honest and up front about what he expects from his students. I got a B in his class, the lowest grade I got that semester. He grades hard, but again, if you make sure you are very aware of what he wants then you should be fine. And whatever...I think he's hot.
Very strict teacher, but tells you what he expects. Drops after 3 absences & is NOT okay with people walking out of class. Tests & a presentation are the biggest parts of the grade, and you have to participate. I enjoyed the subject & he's a good teacher, but if you like to slack & won't read the book, you definitely won't pass.
good professor that is thorough and comprehensive on the topic, he gives examples and tries to help everyone understand the material. Don't be lazy, read your book, come to class, and study, and you will have a good understanding of the subject, you can't slack off at all.
I am currently in his winter PSYCH-9 course. I think he makes it extremely challenging with his exams, but not to the point of being unfair. If you dont want to learn, dont want to read the book, dont want to come to class, dont want to participate... maybe this is not the class for you! He is very up front on day 1, on his expectations! Good guy!
Very honest, some of his comments or answers to students questions came off as rude. Very DIFFICULT. DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS! This wasn't my 1st psych class, i knew my stuff & got a D. I was told by classmates that even with cramming/studying-still fail tests..and i did! TAKE DIFFERENT PSYCH CLASS!!!
Very hard to please. Test material is very different from Lecture material. Tries to bring "elementary" teaching methods but does not work in a college setting. I took this class to refresh memory expecting i would get an A but ended with a B. High school style teaching and not the good kind. I would recommend him to people i don't like.
He lectures every class & takes role everytime. His lectures are clear for the most part but you still have to read & pay attention. You need to take good notes & study hard for for the exams, as well as participate in class. Did well in Psych1 but dropped Psych9 because of poor grade. He makes you work for your grade but class can be interesting.
Do no take this class! More than half of us dropped out and he made a girl cry. He made us watch a live birth just because he and his wife were going through invitro, please! Weird!!! No psych class shows Any type of birth!!!! Major class participation. Cocky and arrogant.
I took him and got an A for General Psych. The work load is decent. His tests require studying but he has study guides online that look almost just like the test! He has a sense of humor. Really study the textbook, study guides, and lectures.
He has quite rude to several students. Also, I was sick a few days and I told him prior to the day that I wouldn't be able to make it. He took down my score from a B to a C because I had missed in-class assignments those days. I also had to miss a choir performance because of a test that he wouldn't let me reschedule. Must read textbook or fail.
take this class if you want a F
this proffesor was arrogant and rude. he mandates his students have no more than two absenses for his class he gives no review for the exam. Most of the students have dropped from his class definately dont take this class if u want an easy C
dont take this teacher unless you want an F or can memorize every word in a book with out any help. I love psychology and get all a's and b's in all my classes but had to drop his class. His lectures are BORING as heck and only about 2 questions on the test are from them. Take this teacher and expect to learn nothing from him!
Avoid taking this teacher if you can. He is the worse excuse for a teacher. I worked hard and still received a D. I went for the winter one year and said I will never take him again. He is rude and gives favortism. People who deserved an A got a C. Don't take him.
Professor appreciates good writing and grammar skills in articles
His standards are high and does not waste time in idle chit chat. However, he could be a little less serious face. He should lighten up and smile a bit. it makes the students more at ease.I got a B. It was fair. Fall 2012.
I don't agree with all negative comments above.This is a difficult class because there is a lot of material to cover. I got an A and English is my second language. Prof Zeeb is one of the most honest teachers I had. Other students, who did not even read the book got Ds and blamed the teacher for it. Grow up people and start studying.
Please do not take this teacher. He does not base test on the book or information covered in class. He is rude and unhelpful and not available for office hours. He does not make his grading guidelines clear to students, even if they ask. He waits until the end of the semester to grade in class assignments, so you cannot check your grade through out
uuuuggggggghhhhhhhh. Zeeb was a very difficult teacher. He did use the book, and his lectures were clear, but he was rude and indifferent to his students. I had a 4.0 gpa and a flawless transcript until I took his class. Came out of this class with my first ever B. Bye-bye, flawless gpa. :(
I deeply regret taking his psych class. Terrible and strict grading. Won't curve tests. Average grade is a D. Take the class and guaranteed to fail. Doesn't offer help. Calls students unfairly. "Everyone fails his test." WARNING: Don't take him unless you are willing to fail.
Gives long tests that are very hard to pass even if you've attended all classes. Must spend most of your time reading the book entirely, studying and memorizing all key terms, and even extra material that he gives out before a test. Group projects are involved and is very strict with grading. Possible to pass but be willing to spend hours on hw.
Material starts off more technical but gets easier later. First exam is super hard (got my first B) but after that, they're much easier. Throws out bad questions. Just read & remember all terms. Participation is a must. No HW. Group paper & presentation w 7 people is HELL... if you want an A be prepared to do all the work. Prof could smile more.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!! I took Developmental Psychology in the Spring Semester and this prof is so difficult, tests are VERY hard and specific and study guides are almost useless. The group project is difficult but do-able. MUST participate. offers extra credit 3 page paper for 4 POINTS EXTRA CREDIT!! WHAT?!! please dont take this class!!!
He crammed too much information into each test. I usually love learning about psychology and am good at but I hated this class. He also jumped around a lot from subject to subject and rarely ever covered a whole chapter. All in all, don't take him.
Way too much information crammed into one test (3 chapters from book, articles, & sometimes videos). Be expected to memorize everything! Study guides are pointless, but he explains a lot in his lectures which is helpful. Attendance & participation are a really big deal. Group project is mandatory. Overall, you just have to work hard for your grade
Avoid taking this class
Have have HAVE to read the book!!! Tests are based on lectures and book! Must attend every class meeting and must participate a lot! Had for psych 1. Strict and punctual. Hard to get an A.
His class was very difficult because he explained very little and his tests were mostly on the book and not the lecture. Get ready to memorize. Also if you miss class or don't participate he won't pass you.
he makes you cram waaaay too much info for a test in a very short amount of time. I've honestly never had a professor who has made me memorize this much. key word: memorized. it's hard to enjoy the subject and actually learn because you're too stressed out memorizing every single key term and little piece of info in the book. do not take him please
Professor Zeeb is a character. But anyways his tests cram WAY TOO MUCH info in a short amount of time. The information is explained well in lectures and he has good online resources, but it's just a lot to cram and memorize I felt like I was memorizing more than learning. He makes you raise your hand for your grade and it's annoying we aren't kids.
i took zeeb during a winter course so it was fast paced but i enjoyed my time in his class. being only 6 weeks, it was difficult but it was easier for me because psych is my major so it kept my attention (lectures are kinda boring though). book is a necessity, would recommend printing lecture slides.
Seemed nice at first, turned out to be one of the worst professors I've had. Was not understanding of my TWO absences (which I notified him of & had reasons for) throughout the semester, & was incredibly rude to me & others. Has no consideration for anyone/anything other than himself & his lecture. Takes himself way too seriously. 0 office hours
He has 4 midterms, and the last one is a week before the final. Study guides are no help at all. Be prepared to read the whole book and teach yourself. Many of his test questions are irrelevant to psychology. For the project he seems to care more about the spacing and margins of your paper than the actual content. As a person, uptight and rude.
When I saw Zeeb's ratings before I took the class it scared me, but his class is actually not anything that isn't manageable. You just NEED to really study the book and lecture for the exam, it's a ton of information but you will succeed if you are determined to study. He's a nice guy but I would not recommend his class it was a pain!!
This class was the worst class I've ever taken.
He is very strict about phones and attendance. His tests are pretty tough but if you study key terms and do the study guides you should do okay.
this class is probably the worst class. Very boring professor, rude, and way too tough on his tests for how badly he teaches. kid of a weirdo too. Attendance is mandatory, and the 7 a.m. to 11. a.m class once a week i took on a friday was just not the business.. four hours of literal constant lecture slides and nothing else
He made the material easy to understand, and assigned almost no homework. Grade is based almost entirely off of test scores but if you pay attention the information is easy to retain.
This is the worst professor I have ever had. All he does is lecture for the entire class time, and his test are exactly from the book. If you don't read you won't pass. His material did not inspire me to want to move on to psy 1 because of how awful he taught the class. This professor also was very rude. I would NEVER recommend him at all. Run!
This class was one hardest classes Ive taken it almost seemed like it was honors class. Your grade is based off 10points each week on the quizzes and 50points on assignments. He is very tough grader.
