He's hella wierd. He does his wierd Tai Chi movements while the class looks on half-confused, half-bewildered. It's not a pretty sight. What's wierd is the guy looks 40 but he's actually like 63.

If you are interested in the subject and want to learn it by putting in the time to read the chapters, great teacher. Cares about students,teaches in a fun, humorious way. He loves discussions and class pertic. Highly recoment if u r not lazy.
Very intuitive teacher, doesn't teach from the book, but from his own experience. Very laid back, and makes it fun to learn!! If you get the opportunity to take him DO IT!!
he's a great teacher! i really learned a lot. one of my fav classes!
Took this guy in summer of 2000 maybe? got a 3.9 he's a great professer.

does yoga and tai chi in class while eating sweedish flat-bread with goat cheese and lettus with tomato. huge froidian
It was surely interesting...he is kinda strange with his ti chi and art and cooking for that matter! It was fun I think and I would take his class again...It was kinda hard but not that bad, he is kinda hard to follow at times and well you better be a good
Ok so he is a bit on the strange side (and he does look like a human q-tip) but he made the class fun and interesting and you can't help but laugh when he is doing yoga positions when you are tryng to take one of his tests. But he makes his lectures clear
yeah, i guess he is a little odd... but, compared to many other instructors, he kicks ass. (knowing, he could probably do that literally :) but, seriously, i recommend taking him as an instructor for this subject. but, only take him if your either flexible ( with instructors going on / off topic) , remotely enjoy martial arts, and are willing to listen to basic and extensive logic. Karl's a great guys to meet!
Karl is a fine human being comfortable with who he is and trying new things. He realtes information in a reaxing and cohesive manner. He makesw psych a living experience.
I loved him so much! He is funny and little crazy. His lecture is off the text book. When I took test he always did Tai Chi! Got little distracted. He is interested in other culture. If you study, you should be able to get good gread in this class.
Karl is a fun guy. He is easily side tracked is a bit misleading when it comes to addictions, but I hope to have him in the future because of his personality and likability. Thank you for changing my schema.
Cared about students, wanted them to learn. Enjoyable class
Dr. Andreasson fills his classroom with a strong interest to learn about psychology as a science and philosophy. He questions his students and makes us feel part of the learning process.
Excellent communicator and student focused instructor.
Great teacher. Made a fairly difficult topic fun and interesting.
I took Karl twice online (101 and 201) and enjoyed it very much. His online class is sooo easy, you barely have to do anything, maybe read a few chapters a week and take a multipul choice test on it, but its not hard at all. He grades fairly and is very pleasant. I would suggest taking him for anyone interested in psychology.
Overall a great professor highly recommended! Not much work, and the work that was assigned was very useful.
Great teacher, and very helpful. He made this class really easy.
I took Karl's telecourse and went to all three sessions. He is quite funny at times, but misguided us a bit on the test taking. Gave extra points to make up for it, though. He basically gives you the study material for each test, so watching the videos is almost a waste for the grade. Watch them for your own personal interest.
I took telecourse and this is the worse teacher you could have. He said he would offer us extra credit at the end but forgot, like many other thing he "forgot" to do during the course. His speech is unclear and he easily gets off topic, when he lectures. I wish this class was still taught by -DR AMMEND HE IS THE BEST PSYCHOLOGY TEACHER EVER
I had Andreasson for Psych&100. Let me tell you, this was one of the easiest online classes I have ever taken. The quarter consisted of a few discussion board postings and weekly multiple choice quizzes with questions taken exactly out of the book. I didn't even have to read the book at all.
Telecourse. He did not know what chapters were on each test. The first of three tests covered 9 of the 15 chapters. The highest average test score of all tests was in the low 60's. Answers given in class were wrong. The first test was riddles with errors - even spelling errors - so you couldn't tell what the question was, let alone the answer.
I took an online class with him. His quizes are based off of the reading and mini-lectures. Study, and you will be ok. Some quizes covered things not in the text/notes. But if you email him asking for help on problems you missied that weren't covered, he'll give you credit.
Great professor! Treat students as people.For example gave not timed quiz for Valentine's day. Wrote special letter to students on Mother's day. Quizzes are not hard, although you need to read the text and his notes. I took Psych 100 and 200, would take more if needed, but unfortunately do not need! Highly recommended!
Online class. I forgot to mention that he answers to e-mails very quickly, give a special assignment week, which mean just prepare for the final, no new assignments. Discussions is easy, read and write. Textbooks are very understandable.
Great Teacher! There was a couple of problems with the quizzes but he fixed them right away! Interesting class!
Take the online psychology class if you need a pre-req. for the AA degree. The quizzes are taken directly from the internet. As soon as you start a quiz, open a browser and copy/paste the questions on Google. You'd assume a PhD can write his own questions, but no, he didn't. It's all taken from other sources and EASY 4.0 w/o lifting a page...
Hybrid class: Took Karl over summer. Great instructor. Very pleasent and knowledgable. Wants you to understand and succeed. Highly recommend him for all Psy classes.
This was an on-line class. Very interesting. Karl is very quick to answer emails & very helpful. Course is outlined clearly. Blessed to have him as my instructor. :)
It was an online class, and super easy. Read a chapter, take a quiz, you could pretty much do it all the day before everything was due each week. I don't really feel like I retained anything from the class though. The teacher was helpful if you had a question, but sometimes his expectations were not always clear.
Very user friendly, student centered, and clear on assignments and org.
Dr. Andreasson is very personable and explains things in detail as needed. His quiz questions and tests are fair and the questions reflect the content of the course.
Well organized lectures online and is always available to answer questions and meet with me on campus when I asked.
This teacher is great he is reasonable and understanding.
Interesting course but frustrating/disorganized. Some questions on tests were not covered in that chapter; some did not provide the correct answer in the mult. choice list; some appeared >1x on one test. Textbook is also disorganized. Leave extra space when taking notes - author throws in more info on a topic after she's moved on to something else.
Karl is a laid back guy who does a lot to help students get the best grade possible. The publisher and school store had a conflict and our books were a month late so he gave us the answers to the first two tests. Use your book A LOT and make sure to read the practice tests because he pulls from those for tests. Pay attention in class!
Online: This teacher is the best. He is a laid back, reasonable and understanding. Not your typical "I don't care that you have life outside of my class" Be prepared to read the book, use the practice tests at the end of each chapter in the book and you will get an 85% in this class because 85% of the questions on the test are these answers.
The best teacher ever in SFCC and extreme helpful. Will recommend people to take his online classes.
Dr. Andreasson is a very inspiring instructor; he is open, professional, and friendly with his students which creates a very positive learning environment in the classroom. He invites open questions and stimulates discussions around each topic. He is also into health psychology which helped me change my life a bit.
Very structured, and provided great examples for each stage of development as well as applications for parenting styles. He is very passionate about his teaching and gives out great energy to the entire class.
Mr. Andreasson was really into his topics in psychology and went to extra effort to help students. He made the class very interesting and at times, told stories related to life and psychology. He does have rather liberal political views for my taste. Otherwise, excellent.
Very nice guy, but extremely inept regarding due days, dates, and times. Just read the book. No teaching. 4 posts and 8 tests plus final.
Week 4 of classes. It's a hybrid class, so we only meet 2 days a week. When he's actually there, we don't learn a whole lot. I'd love to just sit and hear a lecture, but it's all reading the book if you want to learn anything. He seems like a great and intelligent prof, but I'd love to actually be learning from him.
His online Psych 100 was extremely easy. No teaching just reading. A test on every chapter which was 1 a week, and every 2 weeks a 250 word essay about something you read. He opens the quizzes at the end of each week and you have the whole quarter to do them.
He is by far the easiest teacher I have had. He is super nice and friendly. My class was hybrid and the quizzes were all relevant to the book. His lectures can be really boring but it's worth it!
He is awesome!! His materials are so clear about what he wants from his students and really appreciates a good well written paper :) If I were you. I'd TAKE HIM!!
Dr. Andreasson is very clear and is an excellent lecturer over the course materials. His 8 or more quizzes and final exam are fair and based on both his lectures and textbook. He gives funny examples and uses humor too.
Counseling and treatment class with Dr.Andreasson Spring 2014 - highly recommend his energy and student centered approach. He rocks and knows his stuff!
Made course very interesting and great sense of humor in teaching - shows he likes his job.
He is fun. Teaches in fun manner, but often is hard to understand and follow. Does not stick to criteria. Does give you answers to quizzes in class as presents. Easy A. Use open book while taking quizzes, take your time.
Prof. Andreasson is a smart guy and the class is very straight-forward. Prof. Andreasson is a co-author of the textbook. Assignments have specific due dates, but quizzes are open until the end of the quarter. Each quiz allows at least one retake, the best score is kept. I never had to contact Prof. Andreasson, but he sent announcements regularly.
Most confusing instructor ever! Most dates are incorrect in online class, like he never checks them. Spelling and grammar errors all throughout (which makes me wonder if he will grade me with high standards). Contradictory information given in different sections of instructions. SO confused!
I dreaded taking psych. Had him for PSYCH100 and 200, and loved it. Take time on quizzes-open book, read material. Easy 4.0! Loved that he graded papers on your thoughts instead of correct writing. Interesting teacher, more true psych than textbook. Wrote a letter of recommendation for me for my custody battle, so sweet, got me into his full class.
Excellent overview of Lifespan and clear explanations and examples as they apply to real life situations.
AWESOME!!
I took him for psych100 and 200 and he was pretty unorganized as far as making sure due dates were up to date on Canvas. His grading guidelines are very straightforward and what is expected of you (not a lot) is clearly defined. He is very nice, and is wiling to answer any and all questions. He gives good feedback on papers as well.
Take Andreasson for psych, all of my friends complained about their psychology teachers, but I never had any trouble with mine. Easy class and easy grader, and very interesting study topics. Loved his class!!
Extremely nice and understanding person and very entertaining during class. I didn't learn anything about psychology though. All his tests are online and are unoriginal. All the answers are on Quizlet. I wasn't the best student, but I still got 100% in the class. How much you learn is all up to you in his class. You can pass either way.
At first I thought "he wrote his own textbook, great, 100 down the drain". Actually, it was a really fun book to read. He put his personality into the text in so many places to keep the reader involved and made this the most enjoyable intro class I've had so far.
Karl wants his students to succeed!
Easiest class I've taken at the Falls. There's a test for each chapter, and four summaries (just a few paragraphs each), but that's it the entire quarter. All assignments and tests are online through Canvas. I attended class the first 2-3 weeks and never went again (because his lectures are what we already read in the textbook) and passed with a A-
Karl is awesome and the class was sooooo easy. There's only 10 tests with no due dates besides the end of the quarter and two assignments 250+ words on something you've read and months in advance to get it done! Plus he gives you two "special" tests with the answers! If you at least try it's impossible to fail this class.
I am probably about to pass this class with 100% at least and I learned nothing. The professor wrote the book and charges an insane amount for it, so this whole thing reads like a scam. The class itself are online tests you can redo many times before the semester ends, the answers for which are all online. The book itself is horrible written.
Easily the easiest class Ive taken at the falls, and i didnt learn anything. I think i went to class like maybe 4 times the whole quarter and didnt turn in two of the assignments, and still pulled an A. Take this class if you want an easy A, not if you want to learn psychology.
Karl is an amazing professor. He makes it extremely difficult to fail, and he is the most caring professor I have ever worked with which made it all the more pleasure to do well on my work and come to class every day. I have a lot of espect for him, I took him for Lifespan Psych as well, and it was the exact same experience. Sign up, spots go fast!
The class wasn't difficult at all, and, as others have said, you might not remember anything if you're just there for the grade. However, if you pay attention, then you'll learn an interesting view on many aspects of life. Karl likes to integrate many aspects of life into his lectures, so you'll connect better with the subject. A must take!
Not a hard course to take at all, just read the material he assigns from the textbook and its easy to pass the quizzes. The few writing assignments he assigns aren't difficult either and he responds quickly to e-mails as well.
I took him for general psychology and lifespan. He's incredible in person, absoutly hilarious. You get as much as you give for his online classes. Beautiful personality.
The course that I took was PSYC333, but it wasn't listed. He wanted us to read two books and write a report. He provided lots of interesting information on Canvas, but other than that this was a very easy class.
One of the best professors Ive taken at SFCC. He is very clear on what he expects of you and each assignment is fairly easy. Even if you dont succeed the first time around on a quiz, he gives you two chances to pass.
Karl is awesome! I am so happy that I took him, highly recommend him.
Very easy to communicate with and very understanding. Easy going. Clearly laid out the schedule for each week. Online PSYC&100 very manageable work load each week. Definitely recommend
Karl-Erik is awesome! This class was easy but I learned a lot because he made it so fun and entertaining. By far best Professor I have had at SFCC!
Karl-erik Andreasson is my all time favorite professor and made psychology enjoyable to learn about. I took his online class, some may say you learn nothing but as long as you actually read the textbook you learn a huge amount, doesn't really teach a lot himself though. Due dates don't really matter, as long as you turn it in by the end it's fine.
My only complaint is that his course uses a book HE wrote, yet he expects us to pay $150 for it. He gave us the first 2 chapters in a PDF so that we would have time to buy it, so clearly he COULD give it to us for free/cheap but wants us to pay a lot. Luckily I got a second hand book for $50. Great professor though. Good (long) book, easy class.
This class was one of the easiest I've ever taken, but I still learned a ton! The tests were easy as long as you did a bit of studying and there were only three assignments, which were all fairly easy to complete with minimal research. Plus, this professor is so caring and wants his students to do well!
No teaching from him. Just read the book & teach yourself. The easiest class I've ever taken & I literally learned nothing from him. I leaned more in my HS AP psych. class from someone who didn't have a PhD. If you're interested in the subject & want to learn up-to-date psychology, choose a different instructor.
Although this professor didnt give lectures, he did write a textbook. Understanding this, if you are willing to read the material you can easily pass this class. He is understanding of the stress students face and gives you every opportunity to excel. would definitely recommend him and would take his class again.
Prof Andreasson is a bit hands off for an online course but he still finds time to be encouraging and address concerns when needed. 1 paper due every 4 or so weeks (not difficult) within the quarter and all quizzes due by the end of the quarter. Recommend staying on task and not waiting till the last minute.
Mr. Andreasson was a very caring professor, but I didn't learn a whole lot from his class. The book was written by him and was interesting in some parts, but really long. He gives 2-3 tries per a test, except the final which wasn't very hard because of Covid. 3 400 word papers for the quarter, just read and take one test every week. Easier class.
If you want an easy A where you don't learn anything from the teacher and you just read the book and take (easy) tests, this class is for you. He uses his own book, and it's nearly 10 years old (published in 2013)! Terrible if you are really interested in psychology!
Easiest class I've ever taken but learned little. After gen psych where I learned so much, I was really disappointed in the content he provided, not up to date with the kind of current research I learned in gen psych. If you don't care about learning and just want an A he's your man. Otherwise choose a different professor
Not a good teacher. He seems to be phoning it in, at least for his online class. Due dates are often wrong-like he just copied old materials without updating. You can complete the whole class and get an A+ without ever interacting with him, so without him actually teaching and without learning much.
Needed the class, couldn't get it with my last amazing psyc prof. so took him. Wish I'd read his review 1st! Everything in the bad reviews is true! Class is so easy, I'm sure I'll get an A with little effort. All you learn is what's in the book, nothing added, no elaboration. Anyone can teach like him, just read the book ahead of time and repeat!
Nothing good to say about his class or teaching. Seems like a nice guy but hard to tell with so little contact. Class was so generic it could have been taught by a bot! Gave 2, not 1 because easiest class I've ever had. Loved general psychology, so I figured I'd feel the same way about this class-Boy was I wrong. If you like psyc, don't choose him
Ditto others about easy class with little to no learning and it left me really unprepared for my next psyc class. I nearly gave up on the next class because i felt so overwhelmed. If you want or need psyc for your career or life, choose anyone else. If you want the easiest A ever and don't care if you learn much, you'll love this guy
Like others have said, it's an easy class. He wrote the textbook that is required for the class and has linked a few fun or interesting videos and studies, but he didn't even adjust the dates for quizzes, nor did he balance the grade weights (the total is 81%, with 50% credit being on quizzes, 30% for the final and a 1% for an introduction.
Due dates were confusing because time wasn't taken to update any of them. If you're looking for a mindless class and an easy A take this, but don't if you plan on taking another psych class after.
Amazing professor! He said we don't have to do the final if we finish the quizzes on time. would definitely take again! God bless!
Amazing professor! Would definitely take again. When I took this class, he told us that if we got all our quizzes in on time we wouldn't have to take the final. Once again, amazing professor! Super nice!
Dr. Andreasson is such a sweet guy! His way of teaching is very chill--don't expect any PowerPoints for notes, though. Most of the units can be found on Quizlets, which is helpful since I don't really have any great notes from class. He is super sweet and you can see that he cares for his students--not a lot of homework and you can do most online!
