Just Great!

this prof. knows his stuff. he just needs to loosen up. perhaps integrate his lesson plan a bit to make his lectures EVEN MORE interesting. i like him and i probably would take him again if i needed too.

He's a great professor. I would take this class over anytime. :)

I thought he'd be aweful but he wasnt. learn HOW to study and you will be fine. only 3 online tests and no extra credit. for psy majors: there are easier teachers but will you learn it?

He's very interesting and knows his stuff. His lectures don't help you much with the online tests but he wants you to read the book. Great stories to help you understand and relate to the material.

Friendly, entertaining,easy to understand, easy to get along with, always helpful

This prof. was a delight to have. In the beginning he appeared to be very stiff, but by the 2nd week he lossened up a bit. If you don't like to study, don't take his class because his tests are very difficult. He's easy to understand and I had a terrific time being in his class. Take him, highly recommended.

The class I took with him was pretty boring, but he is nice. He likes to share his opinions on just about everything--a lot! The class is easy though, because there are tests online via blackboard and you can get a good grade on them. go to all the classes for extra points. A is possible, you have to work for it, though, and DO THE PRACTICE EXAMS!!

Very hard, but informative

Mr. Oyster might ramble on and get side tracked a lot but, he just wants to give his students a generalized idea of what he is trying to tell you about, it is not that he is babbling hes' just trying to help people better understand by giving real life examples. Sometimes people remember things better when they have something to compare it with. :}

Prof Oyster is a very entertaining lecturer. He tell a lot of stories and even draws diagrams on the board. He is very easy to follow and lots of fun to listen to. If you study, show up to class and participate you'll do fine.

tries to get all points across through numerous stories and ramblings but overall is funny and good to listen to. Tests are tough, actually studying the textbook is a must to pass.

He is one of the best professors I've ever had. If you are really interested in psychology take him. He does demand your attention in class and is willing to meet with you for any problems your having. Every test he has chapter practice questions which you can answer, and a lot of the questions are on the test. In order to do well in his class you

He is definitelly energetic and has a passion for Abnormal Psych, as he had done clinical work in the field as a LPC. He is helpful and encourages students to ask questions in class. His test are hard if you think you can get by without studying. I reccommend him to anyone. He is willing to meet w/you outside class if you have any problems. Take h

He's a nice guy and seems to know his stuff. There's no need to take any notes! He will tell you that "there is a direct correlation between doing the practice tests and doing well on the exam." So take the time to do the practice tests! everything that is on the exams comes from the book/practice tests, not the lecture, thats how I got my A.

I really liked him. The tests are hard, but I did ok with using the book and notes(which I added to). 10 page paper was not fun, but he is very willing to work with you on that and anything else. I would take a class from him again. Extra points for going to most or all classes too!!

i failed the first test but then i realized that if you take his practice tests you will do WAY better. after that first test i got a's and b's. the only thing is he averages grades weird.

he is awesome. he is willing to answer all questions, gives detailed notes, practice tests, and prepares the material so its easy to understand. he is an amazing teacher, and i recommned everyone take his class

I highly recommend him! He was a counselor for many years before teaching. He knows his stuff! His tests were very hard, but he realized this & reduced their size toward the end of the semester. Do the practice questions! They help! Almost all of the questions on the last 2 tests were taken from the practice questions!

Great teacher. because of him i have found a new liking to psychology. the class is interesting and easy to follow, he works with the text book a lot, but most of his test questions come from his lectures.

At first I thought I would hate the class, but if you do all the work available, then you can pass his class. wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

He may repeat one or two stories a lot, but he really cares about answering everyone's questions so they have a full understanding of how psych applies to everyday life. And when he talked about his back he was trying to make people understand he didn't want to cancel class, but had no choice. Would definitely recommend him.

he was a real great guy. his lectures werent the most interesting, but his stories were always fun to listen to. he really cares about his students and teaches well. he knows his stuff. only thing is his tests arent all that easy and EVERYTHING is online. after awhile though, you get the hang of it. i would recommend him.

he was an awesome teacher. he knows his material inside and out and makes his lectures very clear. his stories are interesting hear as well. ALL of his assignments are online, but it's not too hard if you read the material. nice guy, just doesn't deal with stupidity. he understands students better than people think.

He's an amazing teacher. He repeats his stories on occasion, but they make sense with the study material. Everything he says means something. He's not like other teachers who talk to hear themselves. You need to study to pass his tests, but all of his assignments are online so it's fairly simple still. He's amazing. Choose him!

mr oyster is overall a qood teacher . he answers questions and is very helpful ! the irritatinq thinq about hisz klass tho is the fakt that EVERYTHING is online . if yu take qood notes in klass && read over the chapters in the book [and take qood notes] then yu should be okay ..

Professor Oyster is overall a good teacher. He teaches straight from the book and all of the classwork is done online, which makes the textbook helpful. He makes vital information crystal clear and makes it known what information you need to know. I would recommend him if you do not have a problem showing up to class regularly and pay attention.

He knows his stuff, he repeats things which was sorta annoying but whatever, it kinda helped me remember the concepts. All the tests and other assignments are online so you can use the book. You do have to study though because they are timed. I RECCOMMEND HIM (:

He is a pretty good professor all we have is tests..so we do nothing really but read and take tests and in class he keeps it pretty intresting

Excellent lectures. The rest is online. Tests are open book but timed. Pay attention to his practice questions, do the extra credit, don't miss class. If you actually want to understand the material and retain it, he's the best.

Amazing teacher, he teaches from the book and his own experience he had in the field for about 30 years. Repeats stories alot, but he is very clear on what is required. Don't take him if you aren't willing to keep up with the work. Treat him with respect and he'll treat you with respect.

I heard this teacher was hard and a pain and seriously concidered switching professors. I'm glad I didn't! He's amazing and really just the best person for this class. My grades aren't amazing in this class probably average or less but I'll pass at least and even still with how hard this class is it is so worth it.

Knows his stuff, keeps the class interesting. He makes you want to learn the stuff, he is really good. His online tests,, hard, but the quizes are easy. The mandatory 10 page paper, a pain, but I guess it comes with the field of study. Good teacher

I took his class back in 2005 and his class was super hard! I cannot believe he is still using that 100 question test online! Here's a tip: The questions are somewhat in order so just use the book and you will have no issues. I got a B in the class but it was not easy and he is super boring! I took an energy drink prior and still fell slam asleep!

Excellent teacher, he knows his stuff.He is hard but fair. As long as you work hard he will work with you. He made the class very interesting. I loved his class. I have learned so much from him. I highly recommend him to any student.

His tests are hard, but if you use the study guides and take the practice tests that you get online from the course compass website it's not so bad. You have to read the chapters prior to class, attend each class, do some (or all) of the extra credit and you should do well.

He is NO JOKE. Read the textbook, but don't expect him to walk you through it page by page. He expects you to know the stuff in it and consider his lectures and PPts to be supplemental and/or explanatory. Do not rely on the ppt notes to pass tests/quizzes! This is by no means an easy "A". He warned us at the beginning of the semester. No joke!!

Great teacher! Don't be shy and ask questions. He will help you if you pay attention in his class. You must study in this class make sure to focus on terms and a study buddy def. makes things easier. I recieved an A in his class

He is a nice man for the most part. Can be stern on some subjects. Gives a ton of points for extra credit with attendance. His tests are seriously hard, timed, and difficult. Overall I like his class for the most part, but would not take him again. He WILL answer any questions you have. Study the chapters before each class and be prepared.

If you are majoring in Psych than you will enjoy his class, if not don't take. Study and attend the class, you will pass easily.

good teacher, very knowledgeable but very helpful at the same time. learned allot but not my thing unless I have to take another one but if I do it will be with him.

You literally get 45 points extra credit if you go to every class, and he grades on a point scale (so total points, nothing is weighted or averaged). There is no reason not to like this class or this teacher.

If you dont like to study or read dont take this is a real college course test are not easy and ppt is supplemental but he is a good teacher he is not a babysitter

Took him for psy 201. Literally show up for class and you should pass. 4 exams then a final (all online), attendance is a must and there is no homework or quizzes. He also has a great personality if you like to laugh. Also tends to get off topic.

You get extra credit for showing up to class. Didn't follow syllabus. If you're interested in psychology he might be more interesting to listen to but i don't know. His attention will easy slip away from the slides. READ THE BOOK TAKE YOUR OWN NOTES, you won't get by on lectures unless you google all the test answers. No cell. Don't sleep.

Great professor. Classes are fun and engaging. He tells a lot of stories to relate to his lectures that make you want to listen and understand the material rather than reading the book and take notes. He is very harsh on attendances, miss more than 3 classes and he will drop you from his class. Also no cell phone or youre out. But great professor.

I really liked him. He made me want to switch to a psychology degree!!

Took psych101 and abnormal psych215, got A's in both. He tells you first day he teaches as if this is an upper level college course. He doesn't baby you. You have to work for your grade. He does ramble but the stories go with the class . Those giving him a poor rating and got a bad grade didn't do the work, sorry just saying. do the work, get an A
