Really nice and helpful. Take his class.
Never used the book, it was all lecture & lots of note taking, that is what he uses on the tests. Very funny, interesting stories and points of view on psychology. Is always prepared & expects the same from you; attendence is a must; allows you to use a page of notes for the tests. Essays are required but are easy and interesting. Great teacher!!

You will be entertained while learning psychology in his class. He is very funny, energetic and animated. He rocked my academic world at COS! You are required to write papers, but they are more to your benefit because the content is all about you, your thoughts and behaviors. You will totally text "LMAO" all the time, every time.
i recommend this class to everyone...you wont regret it..bet you!
Great teacher. Class was definitely a breeze. You gotta show up to class though fellas. Class is fun, he's very entertaining and keeps your attention if your prone to zoning out like me. Has a great sense of humor and will help you to the best of his ability. If you want to take psych, I recommend Muller hands down.
i love this dude, not only is he sexy (well at least to me, he makes a class discussion from his pyschological exprences in life extreamly interesting but his sence of hummor keeps you entertained. you learn a lot of useful things and i hope you add him, you WILL NOT regret it, i promise
I don't think he is as funny as everyone swears he is. He is very knowledgeable in his field. Just make sure you come to class and do the writing assignments.
Muller was a great professor. He is definately funny. He is young and blunt. But his rule for always being in class or you lose points was not great. Come on its college and things happen. Let those people fail the class who don't want to show up.
Very funny class, lots of notes, really easy writing assignments, and sexy teacher...lol, but really he helps you out a lot, and attendance is essential, he only takes away about ten points in the whole semester if your not there EVER, but as there is a lot of notes, attendance is extremely important obviously. I would totally recommend this prof.
Took both his classes simply because hes a great teacher! He knows his stuff and makes it interesting. Don't bother with the book, just go to class and you'll do fine.
Josh is a really cool cat. He will tell you stories that will make you shoot milk out your nose even when u r drinking punch.
Muller is so fun! He has a really big sense of humor and makes every topic interesting and easy to learn. Take him, i promise you wont regret it.
Josh is pretty awesome. Makes the class seem like half the time it should be. His stories are hilarious, and he drops them about every 5 minutes. You have to work to earn your earn in this class, however. There are multiple writing assignments. Attendance is vital for passing the class with an A. He's willing to help you out.
Muller was so far the best teacher I've ever had at COS. He keeps you interested in the material and always incorporates his own life stories to make the topic even more interesting. He allows a page of notes for every test so the tests are pretty easy too. He made me never wanna miss class! =)
AMAZING. Greatest teacher i have ever had. Im an Engineering major so psychology is far from my interest, but he is by far the coolest most interesting teacher iv ever had. He listens to everyone and shares his stories that helps relate to the topic. Im taking his social psychology class next semester and if you get the change take him. Hes Amazing
Very fun teacher. I learned a lot for him. Nice and will help you if you need the help. He has funny stories and you will alway laugh. It is always a plus because he is very attractive. I only missed one day, because his class was that interesting.
Muller is an excellent professor! His class was the only class I actually enjoyed attending. His lectures are very helpful because he keeps them interesting rather than bore his students. He is a very helpful and funny instructor and will always work with you to improve in his class. If I could I would definately take another one of his classes!
by far, the best psychology professor i have ever had! muller is knowledgeable, funny, helpful and he made the class very enjoyable. exams are not difficult BUT YOU MUST attend lecture. test questions come straight out of notes, and there are 3 very easy papers that he assigns. bottom line, take him!
I love Josh! He is an awsome teacher! Just attend all the classes because he tells these hilarious stories that go along with his lectures and help you learn better.
Muller is the best Psychology teacher ever. He is very clear on what he wants his students to do. In class if you pay attention you are bound to get an A. He is very funny and Relates examples to the notes, that helps you remember the notes better. Don't be shy to ask him any questions he is there for his students. Go to class everyday and u'll pas
Awesome guy! He loves what he teaches and he has and spends lots of energy in his classroom. Make sure you don't miss any classes because he will dock you for participation points. You will do lots of work including several short papers, but it is not extremely hard. He allows 1 page of notes for his tests (you have to write small - 8 font).
Very entertaining. I learned a lot. He's a cool guy. To get an A, all you have to do is listen to his lectures which are always funny and do the single page writing assignments. He even lets you do a page of notes you can use on the tests.
the best teacher ever!!!!!!!!
He is gorgeous! He is an amazing teacher and keeps class interesting. Attendence is mandatory, you can use notes on tests so if you miss a day, you miss those notes and are lost on the test. He is very helpful. TAKE HIM
a fantastic teacher
smart, caring, funny guy. extremely helpful. a popular instructor at COS. took him for both psych 1 & 5. one of the best teachers i've ever had!
I recommend him for anyone when taking psychology 1. He is suuuuuuchhh a great teacher!
oh my goodness where to begin?! this guy is such an awesome teacher! he totally loves what he's doing and he makes psy. sooooo much fun. not to mention he's a total hottie! :) but seriously, even if he weren't cute, he's a wonderful teacher and the class is just a lot of fun to be in. if you get the chance... TAKE HIM =)
AMAZING class! I would take him again if i could. made class fun and i looked forward to going to class. He shares stories to help relate the info he is teaching to real life events. We're allowed to use a page of notes for every test & get 5 points for in class activities. very great techer!!!!
Great man! One of the best classes Ive taken. Just go to class and take good notes. Really easy class.
I took Muller's Social Psychology class in 2009 and it is still one of my favorite college courses, and my favorite at COS. His lectures are engaging and fun and he is very passionate about his field. His course inspired me to pursue researching. Wish I had taken him for Psych 1.
EASY! He's funny and cool to talk to. I usually forget a lot once I pass a class but I learned so much in his class I could probably Ace his final 5 years later. Great stories. I didn't buy the book since we only used it for the writing assignments. Let's you use ONE page of notes on tests and if ur class has the highest avg, open book final!!!
By far the best psych teacher ever. I encourage you all to take him. He explains everything in great detail. I wish I could take him again!
Great class. great stories. tests are easy with a full page of notes. Hardest part of the class is the semester long project, but the course is designed to walk you through it. Strict attendance policy, if your late or absent to often you will be failed
Mr. Muller is an amazing instructor. He is very passionate about the subject and makes everything interesting with stories that reinforce the content. He is very straightforward, but also caring and genuinely wants you to do well. I urge anyone to take his class.
Mr.Muller is passionate about teaching &about psychology. W/almost every bit of info he has on the pwr pnt, he has funny or relate able stories to match. So its easy to remember. Be on time to class, it counts. wats on the pwr pnt is on ur test- 1pg notes for each test. Pronounce his last name right..m-uh-ler. &most importantly- PAY ATTENTION
Oh my gosh! I love this class. Mr. Muller is awesome! He makes everything so funny and he is easy to talk to. This is a very well organized class too! Just make sure that you do your assignments, show up to class, and don't be late (he takes points off for that) The most important rule of life- PAY ATTENTION! My fav class at COS so far! :)
I love this class mainly because of the instructor and the way he teach, Josh makes the class is very interesting and exciting. After taking this class I'm looking into more psych classes and to see what careers this can lead to.
Funniest teacher I've ever had! Wish I could have him teach all my psych classes.
Mr. Muller is super awesome! He is for sure one of my favorite teachers so far! I would recommend him for general psychology! :)
The best teacher I have ever had at COS. Cares about his students, and what they think. Doesn't make everything about him, or what he thinks is right. Very nice, and passionate, and very funny, could be a comedian. I've had the privellege to take him twice now and I would recommend him to anyone.
Amazing teacher! One of the best teachers I have had at COS! His lectures are funny, and easy to understand. Just PAY ATTENTION. It's the number one rule in life :)
He has got to be the funniest, and the most amazing teacher in cos!!! He is a psych. teacher, and i am a business major if it were up to me i would take his class every semester even if i don't need it for my general ed or my required classes, he is just so AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(((((((((((((((((((((((((((:
Greatest teacher I've ever had. Yes you have to pay attention but with his stories and they way he teaches makes it easy to do. Best class average at the end of the semester gets a prize
He's one of the best teachers I've ever had. He is willing to help you out even with the easiest things! Notmto mention he looks really young and is the sexiest man on campus! If only he wasn't married!!
loved his class was amazingly easy to understand his lessons. all i had to do was pay attention. funniest teacher ive had. made it easy to sit in class. alos the hottist teacher. but unfortunitly MARRIED.i highly recomend him.
One of the best teachers I had. Very clear, book required for an A but you can get by without one. Research paper mandatory.
Over all good Prof. He is funny, but thinks he knows everything (what psych doesn's?) Spent my semester studying the book, and reading my notes. He wanted students to write about their personal lives, and I didn't agree with that. He wanted an indepth look at our dreams, fears, family etc in our writing. Other than that, it was a good class.
AWESOME instructor!! Enjoyed his class he is very passionate you will love him! Allows you to use a page of notes on test:)
Excellent teacher! All is lessons were clear with the notes on powerpoint. He gave every lesson with a comical story about his own personal experiences relating to the lesson. It was hard to skip this class or become disinterested because of the instructor. Absolutely helpful, outgoing and hilarious! Looked forward to this class every week.
Good teacher overall. Although if the teacher does not like you, he seems to pick on you and say rather rude things.....
Mr.Muller is the best teacher I have had at COS. Learned a ton of things that will help me with majoring in psych. Attendance is mandatory but trust me you wont want to miss any class. A textbook is assigned but I got through one without and passed with an A.The tests are all based on notes, and the writing assignments are super easy
awesome teacher!
amazing teacher with good teaching habits. really helpful with test
Extremely helpful and focused. He is passionate about what he teaches which makes it more interesting to learn. Cannot stop laughing and wanting to learn more. You will never want to miss class and shouldn't because the notes are 100% your test. I have the biggest teacher crush on him and its hard not to!
I took him over the summer and the class was great. We had a test once a week and a paper due once a week as well. As long as you attend the class, study the notes that he gives you and complete the papers he assigns you should do good. Essays are self explanatory and most of the notes taken and cues he addresses are most likely on the test.
Writing assignments are about your personal life: family, fears and dreams. Gives you VERY CLEAR instructions on the writing assignments. Exams are pretty simple as long as you take notes and listen to his lecture. Activities every Friday for points. Overall he is an awesome teacher and guy, who seems to get more attractive as the semester goes on.
One of my favorite teachers. I actually looked forward to attending his class. He shares hilarious stories that really help you retain the concepts he is teaching. Hes just amazing.
Assignments are very little, but pretty painful.
He is a very funny guy, tough grader and very straight forward. Dont miss class he keeps roll and you wont pass because he uses his examples in the tests make sure to ask for help if you need it he sometimes uses big words or is confusing but he will clear everything up for you, even on tests. overall great professor!
I took research psych methods with Muller. It was a hard class, but he was really helpful along the way. He is willing to work with you, and loves to see his students during office hours! Don't take this class expecting it to be easy!
Awesome class U learn a lot of valuable info However, he can come off VERY RUDE. Hes highly IRRITABLE! In his class there IS such thing as stupid questions & he'll be sure to make u feel stupid. I asked 1 Q in class and he showed he was irritated by my question and gave me a smart answer, I never asked another Q again, very discouraging :(
TAKE JOSH! He is an amazing teacher and person. Don't think about missing class, or being late--he has a strict attendance policy. I wish I could have Muller as my teacher for psychology for the rest of my years at school.
Took this class over the summer. By far my favorite teacher and class at COS. His lectures are easy to understand. He uses a power point and gives plenty of time to copy down notes. Everything on his tests comes straight from the lectures, I got an A in the class without ever touching the textbook.
Took him over the summer. His super awesome, his grading is straightforward. Always be in class, write down notes and study and it's an easy pass. But if you miss class and don't pay attention don't expect him to feel bad for you.
Took him over the summer and enjoy every minute of it. Was very helpful, but don't think you can miss a day without costing you. I passed with an A without ever reading the text so just pay attention to everything he says and is on the powerpoints.
I really enjoyed Dr. Muller's class. Not only is he intelligent and funny, but he's quite easy on the eyes, anyways! He's pretty stern on his rules. A real no-nonsense type of guy. His summer Psych 1 class wasn't too bad. It's pretty easy to get an A if you study. Only 4 exams. I'm really going to miss taking his class. Enjoy it while it lasts :).
At first I thought he was going to be the worst but, turns out he is one of my favorite teachers. He is clear of his expectations, gives great examples that are easy to understand, and will help you during office hours if needed. There is 4 homework assignments that are simple if you follow the guidelines. Not an EASY A but it's 100% achievable.
Took him during summer school so it was a little different. It was even more important to attend class each time, but you won't be bored. Very entertaining and connects lecture to his own life stories.
Took him during summer school so it was a little different. It was even more important to attend class each time, but time flies quickly.
Took in the summer , this is what a teacher should be , its his way or the highway hes straight forward loud and clear , better to take in the summer since he says the fall or spring semesters dont do as good due to the lecture being fresh, hes dope
Mr Muller is a great professor. I took his class over summer, although it was fast paced, it has been my favorite class! Explains very well. Respects his students, and wants the same in return. DONT miss class, be tardy, or disruptive and you will be good. Honestly one of the best professors I have had. Would take again!
Must attend to pass. Lectures are essential. Very knowlegdable and relatable. Tough tests but grades fairly. Have to work for your grade. Fair amount of writing and presentations. Gives one extra credit of 10 points equal to 2 in-class activities by attending the end-of-the year poster board presentations. My favorite teacher.
He's one of my favorite instructors thus far. Read your textbook & study! Attendance policy keeps you on your toes. He is hilarious & his lectures are amazing!
You will not fall asleep in his class, EVER! He is hilarious, and engaged in his lectures which makes it all the more eager to learn. His strict attendance policy will benefit you dearly, not only in his class but throughout the rest of your college years. Amazing professor.
Had him for 3 Psych classes. Cool dude.
He's super funny and uses a lot of examples for students to understand his lectures. Make sure you take notes and study and the tests won't be hard to pass . Don't miss days with him . only had to present to the class once and that was super easy. Never had a time where I didn't like being in his class.
Love Muller as a professor and a person! He's very helpful. Throughout the semester you work on an actual study or experiment, and it's typically a group project. You really have to pull your weight, and it's hard to earn a good grade at the first few checkpoints of the project, but he gives great feedback and you will improve! I highly recommend.
He is very rude however I did learn a lot from this class. He makes things very clear and easy to follow however makes you feel like every question you ask is not worth his time. He later will ridicule you in front of the class. It's belittling. Tests are tough if you don't read so make sure you get the book.
He knows his stuff. He is clear in what he expects of you and will answer any questions you have. However I would not recommend if you have a job or other obligations because he has the attendance policy of a high school teacher and you'll lose points even if you're late or leave class early.
Muller is amazing! His lectures are interesting and easy to follow. Take notes and actually STUDY them. test aren't that difficult if you studied the material. hes funny and uses real life examples to help you better understand the material. If you need help ASK him! Attendance is mandatory, i always looked forward to his class. I RECOMMEND HIM!
Really amazing teacher. Smart, passionate, respectable. He knows how to work a classroom and relay the material to the students. I highly recommend him to anybody. I would continue through the rest of his classes but this isn't my major.
I had him for Social Psych and also for Research Methods hes very helpful. He can be harsh at times but if you handle it everything will be just fine. Research methods is a difficult class and hes strict with grading but if you go to office hours he is friendly and answers all your questions. Very down to earth but also very professional.
Dr Muller is a solid choice! He has great personal stories that he relates to his lectures (even if there's a bunch, it makes time go by fast). His class was interesting and intriguing! His tests aren't hard at all, but don't slack off. He'll notice your bad effort in the class and will point it out if it continues.
Muller's lectures are interesting, he's easy to understand and helpful on topics that may seem confusing. He doesn't tolerate laziness so if you're willing to put in the effort, you'll pass his class. I recommend his class
Hands down, THE best professor I have ever had. If you want a psychology professor that will make you LOVE your major... Take him.
This class is LIT. But you do have to put some effort in, he'll notice if you don't. Super smart, funny, and caring. I'll cry when I leave this class
Best Psychology Professor hands down! I took Social Psych. after General Psych. and it's amazing. He really gives you a clear understanding of the concepts and phenomenons along with real-life examples, sometimes about himself! He keeps the whole class engaged and with information that he gives, there's no way you can zone out. Highly recommended.
Dr. Muller is interesting and everything he covers will be on the test! 5 exams in total, including the final which is not cumulative. Does not give extra credit often and says he will not round our grade. Has A-/A policy. Attendance is important and random days he'll give in class activities that add up. 2 homework assignments and 1 presentation.
Best professor ever. I had him for a 3 hour night class and he made lecture both entertaining and interesting. Makes all the material applicable and easy to understand. Only two big assignments and they are very easy and fun. Be prepared to study for the tests and you will do great. Take him!
Class is all lecture, but he's so funny that you won't mind. Very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. The exams are easy if you study. Covers mostly everything in class, but the textbook does help. Also gives out study guides. He's strict on attendance. Miss more than 4 classes and you fail the class. Late is half an absence.
Muller has been one of my favorite professors to have. Whether your major is Psychology, or not, he is amazing. The lectures were very information-heavy, but he teaches them in a way that it becomes easy to understand. Although he can be a tough grader, he gives back awesome tips and feedback, to help you in the future. He's easy on the eyes, too.
He is one of the best professors I have ever had. His lectures aren't boring at all, he gives only like 2 homework assignments, and you really learn in his class. I highly recommend him.
I was a little skeptical about taking him but I his lectures are hilarious. He makes the concepts easier to understand by providing personal examples and makes the class extremely memorable. He can be a tough grader but you learn a lot from him.
Fun professor but a tough grader on writing assignments. Straight forward and tries to connect with everyone. Can be sarcastic sometimes but is apart of his teaching style. Must pay attention and read textbook. If you read, easy A.
Dr. Josh Muller is a great teacher if you do not take him you are truely missing out on a great informative semester. He caers about his students and what they think and feel Im so glad i made the decision to take his class.
Muller makes lecture so much fun, his stories are hilarious. Attendence is mandatory and only one homwork assignment. Just make sure you go to class and take good notes and you'll pass!
Dr. Muller is an amazing Professor! Makes a 3 hour lecture go by fast and makes learning interesting and fun. You can't miss his class, if you're someone that misses alot of class do not take his class. He only allows two absences, anything more and you automatically fail the class.
I'm taking a summer cram course and this Professor is amazing. My favorite teacher by far. I dread leaving his class and wish he could be my Professor all the way through college. He really helped me understand the material and was friendly and fun to talk to. The class is always laughing.
I loved Dr. Muller's class! He always had an amazing story to tell that went well with whatever lecture he had planned for the day. It was super important to read the textbook because he would add questions that he did not go over in class.
Best teacher i've ever had! so freaking hilarious you'll love him! I learned so much in this class and loved every bit of it. on the essays just follow his prompt and you will get a prefect score, guaranteed. i had no psychology knowledge but he helped me to learn everything i needed to. STUDY AND PAY ATTENTION TO HIS LECTURES AND YOU WILL DO GREAT
Funny guy, straight forward of what he expects and clearly give perfect examples of what his trying to lecture. Attendance is a must!!!
So so sooooooo funny he literally makes you excited for class. His lectures are copy from the slide shows and he explains. Super simple, easy A. About 3 homework assignments that are a breeze. Seriously, you won't regret taking his class!
He is super funny and wants everyone to really understand the material. Only 3 homework assignments and tons of activity's.
You will never dread going to his class! Lectures are hilarious and makes everything easy to remember with his stories that relate exactly to what he is teaching. Weekly activities, 3 HW assignments, and 5 tests. Expectations are very clear for every assignment. Very strict attendance policy (he will drop you @ ANY point in the semester)!!
Tells funny stories along with lecture to help better your understanding. You just take lecture notes during the class time along with some activities. Only 3 homework assignments and does unit exams instead of midterms. I really loved this class and Dr. Muller, I would highly recommend.
Mullers tests are very hard, but as long as you take his advice on how to study for his class you should be fine. His stories are hilarious, and always made my day.
Great teacher, there are only a few assignments and one presentation. He makes content easy to remember by linking it to hilarious stories. Just make sure you pay attention and are on time because grades depend heavily on test scores. Its all fun and easy if you pay attention, attend class on time, and do your work.
I took his class as a part of my GE and really enjoyed it! His lectures are informative, hilarious, and shares experiences and stories of his own that relate to the material, which makes it easy to learn. There were many in-class activities so attendance is crucial. He is an amazing professor and I would highly recommend taking him!
Professor Josh Muller is probably the most casual professor I have ever met. He is brilliant and really thought-provoking. His material is pretty difficult, and his grading is pretty intense, but he allows for extra credit. His free time is never really his free time because he gives so much to his students. He will answer any question you have.
Muller is truly a great professor, he wants you to pass his class. His tests are pretty straightforward, youre supposed to read from the book but as long as youre present for lectures and take notes you can get away with not reading. HE TAKES EVERYTHING (mostly) FROM HIS LECTURES. He will drop you so attend class as it is mandatory.
Muller genuinely enjoys his subject and is very knowledgeable. He uses relevant examples to help you remember the content and his sense of humor adds a comfortable vibe to the classroom. He can be a tough grader, but he gives excellent feedback to help you improve. He is readily available for his students and responds quickly to emails.
Muller is a great professor. He is hilarious. Tests aren't so bad, just make sure you study. Try to definitely be there every class date if you can; if you miss more than 4 days of class, you won't pass. There are only 3 homework assignments and they are easy and doable. I would definitely take his class again!
So I took 2 of his classes about 10 years ago and even then he was an awesome lecturer. Years later and today as my boss was telling me about an issue with an uncooperative neighbor, Josh's story pops into my head as I try to figure a solution: COGNITIVE DISSONANCE! "Ask them to help you with something!" I say. Thank you for the stories Josh!
Dr. Muller is one of the best professors at COS and probably the state. He gives great lectures and makes the class inspiring and engaged. Do not mistaken his awesome personality with easiness for he will be strict as well. Read every chapter and take good notes, do not procrastinate on assignments.
Doctor Muller was by far the best professor I had at COS. He gives you the necessary feedback to succeed at the next level. Accessible outside of class and is down to earth and I mean down to earth, no sugar coating anything. With this class it isn't entirely bad, you ultimately make it hard on yourself to be entirely perfect.
Take this class over summer if you have the chance. It was ridiculously easy. Just 4 tests that were almost purely memorization. Plus a 3-step homework assignment that took maybe 4 hours total over the course of the assignment.
No words can describe how awesome Dr. Muller is. Truly one of the best at COS. He may seem intimidating but hes very easy to talk with and is willing to help you any way he can. 5 exams, 3 homework assignments and multiple in class activities. I wish he could teach other psych classes other than research methods. Very fun and interesting class.
Pay attention and take notes, study your note and you will do fine on the test. Very little homework. This class ended up being my favorite by far. Muller is serious and at the same time hilarious. The only class I didn't watch the clock for it to be over, It was always time to pack up before I was ready to leave. Muller is awesome!
Mr. Muller is an amazing professor. You will be ready for the next level of college after taking his class. He shares real life examples so you can apply what you are learning to the real world. He is always accessible outside of class, either by email or office hours. Amazing teacher!
Mr. Muller is a great teacher. His lectures aren't heavy and boring but they do give a lot of content. He is funny and passionate about his work. He makes class fun and expects your participation in and outside of class when assigned independent readings from the book. Attendance is mandatory, if you miss more than 4 days you automatically fail.
The semester started off pretty tough, yet a huge thanks to Dr Muller for helping me get on track and continue the semester and finish off strong (which I did).Dr Josh Muller is truly an amazing instructor. Pay attention ( it is so important). Take him for Psych you wont regret it. Truly one of my favorite instructors. Hands down.
He is a very interesting person overall, and he grabs your attention when it comes to lectures. This is not an easy class, but it is very accomplish-able if you work hard and focus.
He is very funny and genuine and even though he is lecture heavy, you'll never find yourself being bored during them. Also it is very easy to get an A in his class if you have just a basic form of work ethic.
Professor Muller has easily became one of my favorite teachers. He gives college work and lectures so be prepared because he isnlt easy but if you pay attention and do you work you will pass. He doesn't give study guides either! But lectures are entertaining enough to learn a lot. Very understanding during pandemic.
Took his class this semester and I have to say he is very considerate especially with the pandemic going on. Very chill. You will pass as long as you be present and pay attention.
Taking Muller was one of the best decisions I made. His lectures are hilarious &he has clear grading criteria. If you're unable to pass his class you might just be lazy. If you're sensitive this is not the professor for you. He is hilarious, but not everyone might understand his sense of humor. I definitely plan on taking him again.
Okay so this class was very hard. It will make you question on staying a psych major. However, by the end youll be proud of what youve done. Make sure to read the book though! It will help you with the tests. As for the writing assignments, use Grammarly and read the APA manual, as he marks your grade down a lot for those.
I took his class via zoom due to Covid. It was alright. I am not a big fan of his humor, but I know others are. You have to pay attention to his lectures to do well on the tests. He grades fairly, make sure you pay attention to the instructions he leaves and you'll be fine.
Took this class during the pandemic and it wasnt too hard. His lectures were interesting and funny but you do have to show up to every class or youll miss a lot. There were only like 2 homework assignments and a few easy in class assignments. The tests were based on the lectures and pretty easy. He was really understanding definitely recommend.
Amazing professor.
Does not do study guides for exams!!! No notes or open book exams!! All you have to study for big exams are pages and pages of notes. He uses proctorio for tests. Had three complicated homework assignments. He knows his stuff but explains in a very complicated way. I'm normally an A student if he had study guides I could have gotten a better grade.
Most students have not taken a research class before and his expectations for achievement are unreasonable. After three of the group assignments, the average was always a failing grade. If you are stuck with an uncooperative group, you pull all the weight. He claims all students fail the statistics section. so have a stats professor to email!
I took this teacher because he was the only teacher available and I needed it to graduate. His lectures are full of knowledge but those 3 hours classes drag on. It was one of the worst classes to take online and maybe would have been better in person, but beware he is the type of teacher to give you a group assignment during spring break. : /
Josh Muller is a great professor to take. He is very understanding and explains the lessons well. As long as you take good notes during the lectures and study before the tests, you'll do fine. There are a few essays you have to write (like 2-3 pages) but they aren't too hard. Also, he is very funny and likes to tell stories relating to the lesson.
This Research Methods class focuses on two things: communication and comprehension skills. You'll need to brush up on your communication skills if you want to have any success with the semester long research project. You'll need strong comprehension skills to pull out all the necessary information scattered throughtout the textbook and lectures.
Professor Muller's research methods class gaslights you into thinking you are a terrible student. He offers extra credit at the end of the semester so your F/D can become a passing grade, but only after you mentally break down. Almost nobody receives passing scores on group projects and when I asked for help Muller was condescending and unkind.
I absolutely loved having Josh as my professor. Even though this class does not transfer to Fresno State, Josh was able to set an amazing foundation on what to expect at the higher level and gave me a lot of experience. He is very caring and truly wants you to succeed. Whoever complains about him as a professor is lazy. He will ALWAYS help you.
Very helpful in completing the research project. Even if you get bad scores on the homework assignments and as long as you pass your exams, you'll be good. He'll always offer to help and give you a grade projection. The exams are based off of the lecture and the ?s are in order from when you learned them
I loved this class and learned a lot. There is a lot of reading but he gives really good feedback on your work and I really appreciated that.
You need to show up to class, and take the best notes ever to study with. The whole class is a group project and it is so hard, you have to give more than 100% to pass at all. Take this class alone in a semester, maybe with one other class because of how demanding it is. Your grade is basically test and project with couple points from assignments.
Dr. Muller was a wonderful professor. He is very tough on students but only to encourage you to succeed. The class is one large group project so be prepared for that alone. Attendance is 100% mandatory, he only gives you a few days you're allowed to take off. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to take one of his classes again!
This is by far my favorite class. I will be honest, it is rough, but if you are passionate about Psychology then you will push through. He is extremely transparent with the class, he is a great instructor, and he is a funny guy. This class is based around a semester long research project, so be ready. He grades tough, but its all for good reason :)
four semesters here and muller is by far the best professor I've had. i didn't know lectures could be so interesting before this class. he's a great lecturer and super hilarious. attend class, take notes from lecture, make flashcards of them, memorize them and you'll pass the exams. follow rubric EXACTLY for homework and you'll do good. do the EC.
Professor Muller is an amazing professor that any student should take advantage of if given the opportunity to enroll for his class. Taking organized diligent notes will greatly improve your exam scores, for they are straightforward and coincide with the material of lectures. Most important part to passing this class is learning to laugh to learn
Lectures are fun and a safe space for everyone. Muller makes sure to take his time and explain the content. He is probably the first teacher that I have had at COS that actually makes time for his students in and outside of class. The reputation of this class is scary, but he always tries his best to help out. I 100% recommend taking his class.
Muller so far has been the best psych professor I had. His class can be challenging but if you put the time and energy into it you will pass. He also is very blunt and cares about his students' success. He will help guide you to pass the course if needed. I would retake his class if I could.
Astounding professor, by far the best teacher I've ever had in my life. Cares deeply about students and their projects. Very blunt but a genuine and hilarious person. Be ready to put in the work and study your lecture notes. If you are looking for an easy class, this isn't it. Group project and exam heavy but he is willing to work with you.
Honestly I don't understand how this professor has good reviews he is an awful professor. He's the only professor that you can take for Psy29 and he knows that so he like to take advantage of students and makes this class very difficult. He is rude and talks down at his students. He is a very tough grader and he also cusses out his students.
I HATE THIS PROFESSOR HE MAKES ME FEEL LIKE ALL MY WORK IS FOR NOTHING MADE ME REALIZE I HATE PSYCHOLOGY IF I HAVE TO BE AROUND INTOLERABLE PEOPLE ALL DAY CANT JUST HELP IN CLASS WITH THE PAPER WE HAVE TO GO TO OFFICE HOURS I DONT HAVE A CAR TO GO I CAN BARELY MAKE IT TO CLASS INSUFFERABLE CLASS DOESNT EVEN COUNT AT FRESNO STATE.
Very nit picky grader. Will sometimes say things and then act like he didn't later or will change what he says. Very blunt and can make you feel like you're nothing and nothing you do matters or is ever good enough. Will absolutely make you feel stupid in class. Get ready to suffer and waste your life away on the stupid group project all semester.
Only took 5 test throughout whole semester, no final or midterm and all the criteria on the test is from lecture and all multiple choice. Lectures are also very interesting and funny, he makes learning fun.
Took his 4-week course to fulfill my credits for my 4-year university. Dr. Muller is awesome I recommend him. He puts the effort to help and gives amazing feedback. He is very picky when it comes to citations. So just give credit from where you get information from, and you will pass. Just follow deadlines/rules. Does require textbook of $80
Professor Muller is awesome. This class is difficult, but if you study for your exams and cooperate with your group- you'll do fine. I don't know many students who utilize his office hours; I definitely recommend going if you are struggling. He is hilarious and seems like a cool guy.
took his 4week course to fulfill my GE credits for Stanford University. Dr. M is one of the best professors I've had! Easy to reach/manageable assignments! (Learn to cite! I never lost points, but he is picky with other students not citing). As long as your diligent with the schedule you will pass! He has all modules open to get ahead. TextB - $80
The best + most challenging class I've taken. Clear instructions and expectations. Lecture heavy but Professor Muller is interesting and actually really funny. Went above and beyond to make himself available to students. Yes, a tough grader but as long as you attend class, correct errors and study, you'll pass. Don't be late, and stay off phone!
His class is hard it will not be easy, the group project can be a killer. He cares about his students he just pushes them for the next level. You will become familiar with his grading and will do fine. Study, ask questions, and stay ahead of the deadlines for the project. His class is the reason I fell in love with psychology.
Professor Muller is a great lecturer. His lectures are always entertaining and he defines the concepts he is teaching perfectly. He is a very tough grader, be ready to put in the work. Make sure to find good group mates for the semester long project, trust me it will make life so much easier.
He is an overall great professor. He may be strict at times but it's in a way that shows he cares. By far one of my favorite professors. He breaks things down in a way that makes it easy to understand and always answers questions to clear up any confusion. He grades a little strict but always offers extra credit. Great class, loved it.
I understand why some people don't like Dr. Muller. He does have a tendency to cuss and make some crude jokes during lectures and be blunt, but at least he's honest with you. His class is mostly note taking and occasional group activities, but he encourages his students to take notes in a way that helps them understand the material.
A great teacher, actually cares about his students. His lectures are very entertaining and informative, learned a lot. Attendance is mandatory and will be docked points if even late, but besides that really easy class because of the way he teaches and very organized semester. I would highly recommend Mr muller as teacher!!
the terrible reviews actually did scare me at the beginning. Muller is actually really funny and a great teacher. He is a tough grader just because he wants to prepare us for whats to come. Every point counts in this class and so does attendance. Overall i had a blast and would definitely take his class in another course.
Overall, he's a great professor. He has interesting, easy-to-follow lectures; he's funny; his exams reflect the lectures quite well; etc. However, I rated him a 4 (not 5) because he tends to not be very understanding of students when they are unable to attend his class. E.g., if you miss an activity for a good reason, he doesn't let you make it up.
This is a very hard class but Muller is a great professor. He has easy to follow lectures and will answer any questions you have. He is always more than happy to work with you if you need extra help. This is the last class to get a psych degree and he wants the best for his students. Show up every day and don't be afraid to reach out for help.
Gives awesome and interesting lectures. Topics on the exams, he covers during class so pay close attention and take notes. Also, don't be late to class since it can affect your grade.
as long as you don't miss lectures and take good notes you'll pass
Muller is a tough but engaging professor. His class can be challenging, but if you put in the work, you'll learn a ton. Utilize unstuck study and office hours - they're super helpful. Attend class, as it's mandatory, and be ready to be pushed.
Best professor ever!!! Even though his test were a bit long and hard he was very helpful. He does extra credit and easy 10 point homework assignment. Highly reccomend!!
Attendance is mandatory/strictly enforced (ironic since he often has us take break late because he yaps so much during lecture). The lectures are note heavy & crucial for exams. You NEED to attend class because notes are not posted & most of them he has to explain. The content itself is not hard. Unfortunately, no one else teaches research methods.
Attendance matters, the tests are based off the lecture so just take good notes and study them. 5 tests, 6 homework assignments that are easy just follow instructions. 16 activities done in class which are pretty fun. He usually has a story that goes with the lecture and they're pretty funny and can help you memorize. I highly recommend his class!
Nice enough guy. It definitely felt like he was trying too hard to look cool and hip. Take good notes, show up for EVERY class, and read the textbook a lil. If you miss 4 class sessions you fail the class, and if you're late/leave early it counts as half an absent. So, just show up for class, and be on time. Decent Professor though.
Muller is an amazing professor! His exams were strictly based on his lectures, but he doesn't post his notes so attendance is mandatory. His lectures are very engaging, making learning a little easier. If taking general psych, choose Muller!
He is funny and makes his lectures fun. His activities correspond with the content making it easier to understand. He is a tough grader although he does explain his expectations for assignments very thoroughly. He is also really good at responding to emails, never had an issue with not being able to reach him or get quality feedback.
Muller was one of the best professors I had. He cared a lot for his students and was always inspiring. He is very clear on what he expects from his students, which is why he is stricter with grading. He does not mess around with attendance or with participation. Highly recommend him to anyone.
Genuinely one of the greatest professors I've had. He wants you to learn and create an environment where you have to hold yourself accountable. Tough class, but he offers a lot of support/easy points towards the end of the course. Super lecture-heavy and gives exact information that will show up on exams. Provides great constructive criticism.
Muller is an amazing teacher. Yes the class itself might have been difficult although Mullers teaching skills made it 100 times better while he pushes you to do great not only in class but in preparation for the future as well. Definitely could not imagine taking this class with any other professor
The professor is great, though he may come across as a bit blunt at times. Attendance is mandatory, and there are no midterm or final, the focus is entirely on mastering and memorizing the material
Tough Grader!! This class was mostly group work. So if your group is not delivering you will fail. Test heavy. Not all the questions were on the review. No study guide just A LOT of notes from the lecture.
One student didn't want to do work until the day before the first big group project. By the second group project, this same student changed our entire paper the night before it was due, and we others were blamed for not being able to put in the time. This and the amount of 'dog whistling' the professor does on a daily, is an unhealthy setting.
