This guy is great!! He is helpful and explains things when ever asked. Tip: DO NOT BE LATE, DO NOT LET YOUR CELL PHONE GO OFF!!! This pisses him off and you will be on his bad side. Cool class and kinda easy. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT just in case you get lazy.
Dr. Guttman is the best teacher I have ever had! He knows what he is saying, he is full of intresting, humerous, real life, helpful stories from his years in private practice. Easy quizzes and moderate tests. Great notes.

He guy is great!! He is helpful and funny. Tip: DO NOT BE LATE, DO NOT LET YOUR CELL PHONE GO OFF!!! This pisses him off. Cool class and kinda easy. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT and all the papers or field trips and ull get an A
He is full of funny, sad, but funny stories! DON'T LET YOUR PHONE GO OFF!! And if you're late God help you. But I would take him again if I had the chance. Easy quizzes, hard tests. Got an A but inly cause I did the extra credit assignents.
Great teacher. I agree about the cell phones and tardiness, it'll make him madder than hell! Very easy to pass his class if you take good notes and do the easy extra credit. You have to TRY to fail his class it's so easy!
I took this class over the Summer and got an A. He was great! Super easy quizzes...but hard tests. Take good notes, read the book, do all activity papers and you'll do fine. Make sure your cell is off..I've seen him grill people for that!
Guttman is a cool teacher. The class is laid back and the lecture almost always turns into a good discussion. Some advice: Don't be late, turn off the cell, and don't disrespect.
Wonderful teacher who gives you every opportunity to get an A in the class. Uses a lot of examples from his private practice days, which are very helpful in applying the material.
Cool teacher but has a really bad temper so don't be late and always turn off your cell phone before class starts
he knows about this website, some of the previous statements sound made up maybe by him??!?! but yea most of it is true anyways =)
took his biopsych class because a friend liked his intro class. not a good idea! no book asigned, so all "learning" is done on your own via the internet. if you have to take it, take it with easy classes in the semester.
He's interesting but it's difficult to lead discussions because its such a large class. Great class nonetheless and he's pretty handsome I should say.
he's good...just dont be late...he trips. and dont let that cell phone go off in his class.
Easy & funny quizzes. Hard tests (just read the book and pay attention to the lectures and you'll be fine!) Do as many extra credit assignments as you can cause they will help you get an easy A. Turn off your cell! Don't be late, if you are, don't walk in front of him, unless you want a nasty stare
THIS PROFESSOR IS VERY FRUSTRATED AND UNCLEAR TO WHAT HE WANTS. CLASS IS MORE LIKE AN ONLINE CLASS.
it was as helpful as taking an online class. he expects you to know everything already. dont let your cell phone go off or he will kick you out.
Good teacher with interesting lectures. If you read the book you will be good. If you want an "A" you have to study a LITTLE. Lectures are interesting because he relates material to stories about his personal practice. But favors his female basketball player students.
all this class is about is good ok exam scores and quiz scores and theres nothing else to this class. either do the papers which are easy or do the extra credit which is truly an awakening.
Easy class. You have to be doing something very wrong if you don't get an A in his class. Just show up everyday to take the funny little quizzes and do the simple paperwork. This should get you an A. He gives out high scores on the activity papers. He's also funny and always ends the class early. Just don't be late.
I took this class in the summer 2004, I loved it. Psychology isn't easy, it can get complicated with the wrong professor, but Guttman made it clear to understand. I highly recommend him.
No Comments
his class is really easy going and he's an awesome guy. with this guy psychology is really dope.
He gives alot of extra credit and they are worth alot, so if you fail thats you loss. But sadly many people fall behind. He isn't someone who loves his students, just his basketball team. I would deffinitly take him again, though.
Good extra credit
no reason why you should not get an A.....no reason!
No Comments
he is the sexiest man on campus, by far!!!! he's a great instructor, if you know whta I mean. ;)
He is absolutely the best teacher at Citrus! He shows you how to do everything step by step and does so until you understand. He's great!
this guy is the****, aside from being a yankee fan, he's alright!
awesome teacher..makes lecture fun and exciting
dont be late and dont walk in front of him hes very cool and easy do your work is all he wants he can have an attitude if you disrespect. do the extra credit thats how i got an A did bad on tests but did everything else. overrall not bad at all.
guttman is real cool. funny guy. barely any homework but you have papers to do that arent that bad at all what so ever. its an easy class..but youll just have to your work which isnt much. his tests are okay. they not too hard not too easy ..just know your stuff..foshOo!
Good teacher. Treats you with respect and EXPECTS the same in return. Do the four assignments, study a little for the tests and you can get an A. Cool guy.
This guy is the man and there is tons of extra credit in this class, he doesnt keep attendence and he is a funny too, take him for sure
I had him in psy 101. He was a very good prof. and very helpful as well.. the way he taught was really interesting.. I almost changed my major because of the way he made Psy so interesting...would recommend to take him!:)
This teacher is cool. His tests are extremly hard but if you show up to his class everyday and take all his quizes and do all the work and do an extra credit assignment then you'll pass with an A or B.
great professor..interesting class..you'll learn alot from this class..and the lecture isn't boring..u have to do your works to get an A. It's not hard..but u have to keep yourself on track. he is really kind and is willing to help you out after class.. cool teacher. recommend to everyone :]
i think he is an amazing teacher! i changed my major after the first week of taking his class. i will be taking every class he teaches because he is so interesting. i absolutely loved how helpful he was and he really cares about what he is teaching and what his students are taking in. plus i had a crush on him :) he's awesome! take his class!
He's a great teacher. Hates it when you come late, so always be on time! Take good notes because his tests are hard. Quizzez are funny at times but you will get a 10 almost each time if you pay attention... You don't need to buy a book for his class. I had a book and never read it... Would've had an A if I had studied for all the tests... TAKE THIS
Hes the best.. ive had him for all three of his classes and he is honestly the best teacher ive ever had.. he keeps me interested and still wanting to come back to his class :)
He has been the most helpful and interesting Professor by far. He works with people and is willing to explain and answer any questions necessary to help you "get it." I hope he is around for a long time because he is doing an EXCELLENT JOB! Besides the fact that he's a PhD, he HAS to be extremely intelligent, He's a YANKEE FAN!
This is the drug and alcohol abuse class. I took it summer session. It's cool that eveything (the exams, paper and field trip) are all due at the end. But dont wait until the end because they are a LOT of work! The professor is excellent. Explains everything very well. Is prompt at grading and reponding to emails! Highly recommended!
I took this class my first semester in college. It was a good experience overall. He requires some outside work (i.e.- going to museums, city drug courts, police ride-a-longs) but if you keep up with them, then they are easy. Ask him about the project papers and he will tell you exactly what he wants on them. Study for tests and you'll pass w/an A!
Good class/ Offers lots of extra credit/ If you dont pass this class theres something wrong with you.
DR GUTTMAN IS ONE OF THE HOTTEST, SEXIEST TEACHERS I HAVE EVER MET!!! SERIOUSLY, IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO LEARN THE MATERIAL, GO TO CLASS JUST TO LOOK AT HIM....MmMMMM!!! :)
He is the best. i love him. you will learn alot from him. easy class. if you dont get an A something is wrong with you.
He is a true badass. He knows what he is teaching, he is very smart. He also makes the class fun just by being funny. He makes psychology easy to understand and fun to learn, I highly recommend him.
he is such a great teacher! it makes my day to hear him lecture- and thats because i love the class :) if you are thinking about taking psychology, take this guy- he's amazing!
one of the best teachers i've seen, he know what hw is talking about and explanes everything very well. he also offers a tone of extra credit. his quizes are easy. if younoly pay a bit of attention u can pass the quiz the test are a bit harder though but over all a great teacher i highly recommend him
This class is so informative and easy at the same time, he gives easy quizes once a week and the only hw he gives is extra credit. He's funny and has some pretty interesting stories to tell. Take this class!
u do not have to love psy to do very well in his class. If u struggle with test then just do his extra credit.
He's a great teacher! Take his class if you take psychology! He's one of the more sought out teachers at Citrus. He makes things very clear and makes the subject fun.
best teacher i had, his class is extremely interesting. if you missed a quiz there's extra credit quiz at the end. If you messed up on your test you could always do the extra credit to bring it up, and if you don't want to do the activity paper then just go to the field trip. how can you not get an A in that class??
I took the on-line version of the Alc. and Drug abuse. The Dr. is extremely well organized-it's very obvious he founded the distance ed. program- requirements for the whole course are posted in advance:pace yourself. Test answers are in the book and on the internet. This class surveys your ability to research not test take-I think I learned a lot.
He is one of the better teachers I've had. His lectures are interesting and if you pay attention, his class is pretty easy. I learned a great deal and had fun doing it to, its hard to find more teachers like him at this school. I would highly recommend anyone taking a psyke class to take him. i wish i was a psyke major so i can take his 201
great guy. lots of extra credit to help you out. easy quizzes. tests are tough, but if you pay attention you should do fine
Dr. Guttman is one of the best teachers ever.very very interesting. I got an A on this class. tips: dont be absent, take GOOD notes, pay attention, and finally study for his tests.
His class can be hard, but he knows a lot. He is very helpful and really cares about you and your success. He tells it how it is and wants you to pass. He gives great extra credit. If you study, his tests are easy.
he gives the option of writing 4 short papers or going to 4 different personal field trips. i did the field trips& got 400 points in the first month of class. after that all you have to worry about is the tests which arent that bad. just show up for class, take notes, &listen& youll do fine. he also has very easy quizzes. Best Psych teacher ever!
He's actually a human being. Totally cares if you pass or not. 100% fair. He wasn't too fond of me because he thought I had attitude but still made an effort to get me to pass. One of the most neutral professors ever. I recommend him.
He was a great professor! A little scary at fist, but he really cares about his students. Do the following and you will pass: Show up on time, turn off cell phones, take notes, do extra credit, and study for test. Quizzes, and test are not hard at all!
Great professor. He's pretty strict about arriving on time, but other than that, you make your own grade. He gives alot of opportunities for extra credit and you can choose to do field trips rather than write papers. I'm planning on taking two more of his classes.
His class is very easy if you attend. His class was by far the best class i had taken at Citrus. He's funny, easy going, and is always avilable to help you outside of class! The only thing he is strict about is coming to class on time!! so dont be late! other than that I reccomend his class to anyone!!
he is super easy. all he does is lecture and give quizzes. NO HOMEWORK. a lot of extra credit opportunities. gives 4 papers, but you can do field trips instead and it would count as 100 points. could be a little boring but definatly take him.
He is an amazing teacher! I had him for Psych 101 and he was so interesting, I didn't want to leave his class! He uses lots of stories to help put the lecture topics into perspective and he is very clear cut. I wish I could keep taking classes with him. A++ in my book
he is super easy and no matter how you do during the beg. of the semester by the end he will work with students to improve your grade. He will help you out as much as you can as long as you attend classes and take quizzes you should be fine.Just do your work but highly recommend him
Dr. Guttman is a great professor. He is extremely knowledgeable in his area, and the examples he gave to explain the material made learning psychology 10 times easier. His passion is interacting with his students. He loves to hear opinions. I definitely reccommend him. Take his course!...just "don't slam the door!"
Dr. Guttman is a very interesting educator to have.He's very honest & there is never a dull moment when he talks in class.Most impt of all, he's not only very knowledgeable of the area that he's teaching, he also had lots of real life experiences that he shares w/ us w/c makes it easier for us to get a clearer view and understanding of the topic.
he is my fave teacher on campus. i never study for his tests, his assignments are easy, i never buy his books, &i always get an A. you dont have to take the final if you dont want to. ill be taking my 3rd class with him this winter. just dont be late, but we are all adults&should be capable of showing up on time.
very good teacher. very interesting. just glance at the textbook before the tests, most of the info is from the notes. papers are an easy A if you just try. tests are a little hard. he gives lots of quizzes, but they're really, really easy. try not to come in late and TURN YOUR CELL PHONES OFF!!
If you want an easy A take his class. He's an entertaining teacher and he really cares about his students but to be honest, some of his knowledge is outdated and incoherent with the text. I say this with the utmost respect, but he's great at teaching confidently, even when he's obviously wrong. If you really want to learn, be prep. to read the text
Professor Guttman is one of the best faculty on campus. He is genuinely caring, and he is very honest and respectful of his students. He treats us like peers, and if you make an effort to get to know him, he will help you as much as he can to help you succeed. He is a great guy!
Dr. Guttman is a great teacher. His class is SO easy! Just show up, pay attention and take notes, do the SUPER easy essays, and look over your notes 30 mins before an exam. His quizzes are also super easy. I got the highest grade in the class and felt like i hadnt done anything. And trust me... im LAZY!
he is very cool teacher. he is normal and you can actually talk to him without getting confused about a question. study a little for the test if u dont u will mostlikely get a C if u attend class. he is a great teacher and u will most likely wanna take his other courses i did!
Very nice guy. Down-to-Earth is a very good description. There is a bit lacking from his lectures but if you do the reading you should be fine. Where you'll find the most fulfillment is in going into his office and talking to him. He's really a sweet man and a hardworking teacher. Most of the class is listening, quizzes, and the occasional paper.
Guttman is one of the nicest teachers out there!always a crack up and never a dull moment. althgh he doesnt count attendence on a daily basis it is not a good idea to miss alot.. he fives a lot of quizes on a daily basis and in the end they add up. over all tho he is a excellent teacher.Humn Sex225 is also an excellent class to take w/him.
He is a great teacher!!!!! Just listen to his lecture and you'll get your "A"
Dr.Guttman is a really cool guy. He grades easy and his tests are easy as well. I never studied once and got an A. There were 4 papers in the summer school session I took but they are easier than you think cause he grades so easy. He offers a bunch of extra credit, do them! Honestly easy A.
I took this Alchol and Drug class online. He has everything he wants you to do and turn in from the beginning of the course.He wants a lot of detail and examples on the discussion board, test, and papers. He expects legit sources; so you do have to do research. You have to do field trips for credit, and he sometimes offered extra credit :)
mr. guttman, hes a great teacher.i actually learned alot in his .. personal social adjustment class.
Great teacher!! A quiz every day and a paper almost every week. One thing Points count so do your work. He does help you out so don't be afraid to ask.
he is really easy i took him for winter and i passed with a B i could of gotten an A but i got lazy and didnt do the extra credit. i suck at taking test and i got an A on all of his... its thats easy.. Take him... if you want an A
amazing teacher! guttman was super nice and entertaining. if you need help he is always there for you, the quizzes were easy and the tests are not that bad, definitley recommend taking him
One word: AMAZING!
Professor Guttman is definitely my favorite professor at Citrus. His expectations are reasonable and he makes his demands clear. He promotes open discussion and makes the material extremely understandable. There's only a couple of papers, tests/quizzes and extra credit. He's an incredibly smart guy and makes class very enjoyable.
He is one of the best teachers I've ever had! Teaches with a passion which makes the students want to learn. Tells a lot of stories about his past and keeps the class very interesting.. As long as you show him respect (dont text) he will show you respect. Assignments are very easy and as long as you study for tests you're fine. Amazing teacher!
Clear and concise class with built-in extra credit. It was almost impossible not to pass this class. The lectures are interesting and the field trips are pertinent. Highly recommended, PLUS he looks like James Caan.
Guttman is awesome and very smart. Take notes when he gives examples from his power points b/c they are useful when studying for tests. Respect him and he'll respect you. A lot of experience and tons of interesting stories! little HW. A few essays. Do all extra credit.. points matter! Study off the online flashcards for the tests and you'll do fine
this is one cool dude. he makes sure all his students understand him and gave us opportunities to catch up or do better. i highly reccccommenddd this foo haha
Professor Guttman is a fantastic professor! Very clear in his lectures and gives you the opportunity to go on personal fieldtrips over writing a paper (for those of you who hate writing papers). I got an A+ in this class. It wasn't too dificult. Just follow directions and read the textbook and review notes. It's not rocket science.
Great Teacher! DO EXTRA CREDIT! Very simple assignments. The final is the easiest out of the exams. Attend class and make sure you take the notes from his lectures! He is a very helpful teacher.
Professor Guttman is probably the smartest guy I've encountered at Citrus. He has an uncanny ability to hold your attention for the entire class period even if you have no interest in the subject whatsoever. Loves to reminisce about his frat days at UCLA and has a plethora of crazy stories to boot. Again, he has very reasonable expectations.
He is a great Professor. You can go on field trips instead of writing papers and he will let you pick your own field trips if you get his approval. For exams, make sure you read the chapters in the book and not just his notes. Exams are based on both! I had to study hard to get good grades on exams but was able to get an A by doing so.
awesome Prof
Excellent teacher, very supportive of students who show initiative.
Good teacher and has many interesting stories. He makes things really clear and understandable.
He's good! Study for the tests and do the papers!!! Take him!
Extremely excellent professor! I was always excited to go to class, he's very clear on the material, and there is no homework, except that you study for the test (which you just have to pay attention in class) and a couple of 2 page paper, or you could opt to do field trips instead. GREAT class! Def take him for another PSY!
One of the best professors Citrus has to offer. Really invests in his students that take initiative and care about their grade. Do the extra credit, it really adds up in the long run. Also, do not be disrespectful and text or talk during class.. unless you're prepared to be embarrassed and get on his bad side.
excellent teacher! one of the best teachers in citrus!
Dr. Guttman is an amazing and dedicated teacher with a lot of real life experience in the field. Psychobiology is NOT one of those "easy A" classes so be prepared to work for your grade. Research paper (500 pts) & group project (400 pts) plus 3 multiple choice exams (100 each). Read the book & don't miss class!
He is the best psychology teacher I've had! Not only did he give great lectures but he was very helpful&had his students best interest in his heart!Read&Study the notes and the book you'll get an A! Please do not be rude and use your cellphone during class or come in late respect him he deserve it for teaching a great class!
My favorite class all semester. He knows what he's talking about, and if you ask questions during class he enjoys answering them. You need to study the notes, because he gives quizzes randomly. And everyone is right when they say to respect him, don't text! Study for tests and you should do just fine.
I'm so glad I took this!!! This professor really took psychology to the next level, and made it really interesting. He is a fair teacher and understands his students; giving them a fair advantage to pass the course. STRONGLY recommend him!
TAKE HIM! LOVED his class! He is so funny w/out even trying to be. He responds to emails right away & makes sure you understand everything. Quizzes just about everyday but his class is the best! Everything you need to know is in the notes he gives. He gives a lot of easy extra credit. Show up everyday, don't text, do all the easy work. Easy A! :)
Dr. Guttman is an amazing teacher, you would be lucky to even be in his class, he is helpful, understanding and really cares for his students. TAKE HIS CLASSES if u truly want a life changing experiance, BEST TEACHER AT CITRUS BY FAR!!!!
Good teacher but can be rude sometimes when you don't your work right
BEST PROFESSOR AT CITRUS BY FAR! Takes the time to use office hours if students need it. I have taken all of his Psych. courses because of how interesting he makes every single one. I strongly recommend him to any Psych. majors who need a helpful mentor.
There is a reason you have to scroll through several pages to find people who dislike him. This guy is warm, friendly, jovial, and an excellent teacher. He has great stories and a great report with his students. His intro psych is fairly easy, I was shocked to learn I had the highest grade in class and had never cracked the book. Great professor.
BEST PROFESSOR on Citrus College campus. Not because he's easy but rather because he actually educates his students and everyone walks away from his courses with more knowledge that is useful! I highly recommend him if your willing to be educated and find out things about life that are relevant!
Awesome professor! The tests and papers were easy; especially the papers! DO THE EXTRA CREDIT or you'll regret it. Got 89.6 in the class.
This Psychobiology class is a bit difficult. You can get an A though if you keep up your work. If you don't do well in your test, you can make it up in your paper or presentation, or vice-versa. Overall the content of the class is fairly boring but Guttman does a good job of trying to keep it as interesting as possible.
BY FAR THE BEST PROFESSOR AT CITRUS. He is extremely warm and friendly. He cares alot about his students and will go out of his way to help them succeed. He outlines what he expects from his students on the syllabus. He gives alot of extra credit, i suggest you take advantage of it. He has great stories that are incorporated in psy.I Reccomend him!
Guttman is by far THEE BEST professor at citrus!! Very helpful, very interesting, very kind, works with all his students to help them get the best grade.. Very easy to get an A in all the classes he teaches, just listen, attend class, and do you work. Try to take all your psy classes with him!
Dr. Guttman is super interesting, has cool stories all the time. Jokes with the class, but you really learn everything he is teaching.. EXTREMELY good, well the best professor at citrus!! Just go to all the classes, and listen, and ask questions he's very helpful and kind! Got a 1347 points out of 1300. no excuse to get any grade lower than an A
AWESOME GUY. His class is easy because it is SO interesting. He made me want to go into psychology just from his lectures. He defiantly knows his stuff. Tests are easy. He gives you the option to do 4 papers or field trips of you can do some of both. I recommend the field trips because they are a lot of fun and you get an A just for showing proof.
I LOVE this professor!! He is my favorite one ever!! I would go to his office to clarify an assignment and he was more than happy to help! Such a nice man that cares about YOU. The class is moderately difficult but worth it! Do NOT BE LATE or MAKE EXCUSES FOR NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO. He can be intense at times but if you try, then he will be nice.
I LOVE THIS MAN! He is my favorite professor at Citrus! I had gone to his office to clarify an assignment and he was more than happy to help. He seems very genuine and caring of his students. He is very intelligent and knows what he is talking about. I have much respect for him. DO NOT piss him off! He can be intense!
Dr Guttman is the best teacher I have ever had. He is consistent, professional, educated in his field and has worked in it. I loved his lectures and his real life events as a Psychologist. You follow the syllabus no problem. You disrespect him or piss him off then shame on you. If you are not there to learn in his class than don't even bother
He is very much helpful! I went to his office hours and he gave me practice tests before the actual exam. Go to his office hours for help and he will sit there and go over the notes all over again if you need to! He is such a great, intelligent, helpful professor. I recommend you take him. (=
So far I am becoming more and more interested in psychology! I am thinking of either majoring or minoring in this field now! He is amazing.
I really like him! I also had him for psych 101 and looooved the course and subject!! he responds to all emails quickly and keeps you reeled in to the lecture and has interesting stories! made me want to major in psych! make sure u turn everything in on time papers, exams, and field studies fun class.
awesome teacher!
I'm so glad I chose to take Dr. Guttman for psychology. He made the subject interesting and was a pretty easy class. 4 exams and 4 papers/fieldtrips and 15 quizzes. And he gives extra credit. I would recommend him for psychology :)
Great Professor! He is great at explaining the material. Lost of Extra credit.
I've had Guttman for both PSY101 and PSY102 and he is a wonderful teacher. He explains everything clearly and doesn't give homework. He does not take roll but it is highly recommended you attend class. The tests are easy if you study the material and he is really approachable and easy to talk to if you have any questions. Awesome professor!
There is no excuse to not pass this class. Pay attention in class and pretty much just have common sense. I bought the book but it's barely needed, but definitely helps if you want over 100% in the class. I heard he was tough and mean, but honestly he just doesn't want to deal with high school foolery. Would definitely recommend
Nice guy, easy class and as long as you don't mess around and text, he will like you
I cannot say enough good things about Professor Guttman! He is definitely someone I look up to and admire. Biopsychology class was difficult. A few tests, a group powerpoint, and a literature review. The hardest assignment for me was the literature review, its worth a lot. He gives plenty of time to complete. I received full points :)
Great Professor, he is passionate and encouraging. He wants you there to learn not to text and clown around.
Professor Guttman is an amazing teacher. He's very knowledgable, experienced, organized, and professional. I recommend taking his class.
Mr.Guttman is very knowledgeable and helpful! Hes funny and keeps everyone awake for his morning classes. Whenever a student has question he is more than willing to help. Lots of notes to be taken but his assignments are to the point and helpful to understand the material! Easily the best prof. I've had. TAKE HIM!
VERY UNDERSTANDING & HELPFUL! All he asks, is that you do the work, do some research, read the book, and cite your sources! Don't give short answers, go into detail, throw in some examples, just answer his questions completely. Don't be lazy! He uses discussion board, h/w due weekly, two exams.. do the work!
Dr. Guttman is very intelligent and really cares about extending his knowledge to his students, so pay attention! He is not one to accept bs and laziness. His class was extremely easy; it almost felt like I was just going to class to chat and what we learned was very interesting. Do not piss him off and you'll be fine! I highly recommend!
Dr. Guttman is an outstanding professor. He is extremely helpful and is there for you if you need help. You do have to work for a good grade, but you can get an A if you take time on assignments and study for tests. His lectures are awesome and he gets the whole class involved in conversation. If you want a quality education, take this course.
Dr. Guttman is such an amazing professor! Very helpful and understanding. Awesome discussion boards! Make sure you cite your papers. Do research and read the textbook it's important.
If you pay attention in class you should be fine. He gives quizzes right after he lectures so if you pay attention you'll be fine. Tests are not difficult. He assigns 4 essays but you have the option of doing field trips instead. He is straight forward and doesn't put up with lazy people.
I took him for Sociology 202, though it is not his major he did fairly well to teach it. The class was not complex by any means, just show up, study the notes, pay attention , do the work and you should be fine. He also had the tendency to let us out pretty early, but I ain't complaining!
Great class! Loved it. Very interesting and fairy easy. Dr. Guttman is an amazing teacher, very knowledgable, and very clear with his lectures. Took 6-wk class, bet 16-wk is just as easy. 3 exams, Quizzes for each Chapter, and invidualgroup papers and assignment. Easy class. Highly recommend!!!
Took Guttman's Human Sexuality class over summer and thought it would be difficult over a 6 week span. 4 easy essays, 6 Discussion board questions which encourage you to think. The hardest parts were the midterm and final which literally required hugely expanded answers, but they could be researched easily. Overall, great yet not too challenging
Dr.G is a wonderful teacher!! He wants to see his students do well! He has amazing examples of everything you learn. Grades are posted within an hour! I'm truly thankful he was my first teacher back after 7 years away! Love love love him!! If you don't do well in his class it's bc you didn't try. Ask questions! Talk! You won't be sorry!
I really loved this course. It was very simple: just post a discussion board response and reply to someone else's response once every 2 weeks, we had 3 exams (essays, not tests), and 4 field study observations. 3 field studies can be videos and 1 has to be a trip somewhere. I went to an AA meeting and it really changed my perspective on life.
This course is awesome! Easy A.
This professor is so helpful yet EASY!! Just show up and pay attention to lectures everything on lectures is on tests ! He does have a ton of quizzes but they are really easy ! Class work is easy as well
He is an awesome professor! I'm taking his hybrid winter session and it is easy and very interesting! The only way you can fail is if you don't do anything.
Prof. Guttman class was a joy as well as having him as a professor he is an outstanding man who cares about his job and teaching. However- you have to TRY and fail his class. He has quizzes every other day that can only help your grade. however i stopped showing but he was very supportive in my concerns even though i did not pass. Would take again
Professor Guttman is an awesome professor! Really good lectures and he really knows what he is talking about. 4 essays are required. Don't worry though. You can either do the essays or independent field trips. I encourage you to take field trips because they're more fun and much easier. Book was not needed at all!
So I have just signed up to take my THIRD course with Dr. G. I had him for Psy 101, Psy 213, and am currently taking him for Psy 225. It is rare to find a teacher you would take twice let alone 3 times. He's very clear on what he expects. Distance Ed. he is very responsive and super involved. Doesn't just beat your head with a textbook. You LEARN!
He is great! I wish more teachers were like him!
Wow such an amazing professor! He makes it really easy for everyone to receive an A in the class. He has 4 papers but he gives you the option to go on a field trip instead of doing the paper! How cool is that? The field trips will change your perspective on life. I recently changed my major to psychology b/c of his class. TAKE HIM.
Really cool guy! You learn a lot and its very easy :)
Dr. G is a wonderful professor. He is very knowledgeable and loves what he does. Loved his class, very enjoyable and would definitely take him again. I wish more professors were like him.
Okay lets start! He is an amazing professor. His lectures are always interesting, he gives out the notes on blackboard however, there is a small quiz at the end of most lectures. He gives a total of four papers which are super easy. If you pay attention in class you will pass the four exams he gives you. Take him you won't regret it.
Kenneth Guttman is AMAZING! Ive taken 2 of his online psy classes. I wish I chose him for psychology 101 instead of Gibson.... He really does care and wants you to pass! His class is an amazing online course. He is upfront and explains everything perfectly. I learned so much and it was so interesting. Thank you Guttman
There are 3 exams. 4 virtual field trips that are written essays & discussion board posts due weekly. The class was very straight-forward and there is a clear grading criteria of what Professor Guttman expects from his students. For me it was an easy A class - i never purchased the book and just went off what i learned in other Psych classes.
Best teacher I've taken at citrus college! Really enjoyed every second of the class. Papers were so simple and he isn't picky about grammar only the content. He is extremely smart in his field and entertaining in his lectures. Class is not hard at all and I'm planning on taking him again for other psychology classes. Great teacher, take him!
Not only did he KNOW the material, but most of the examples were his first-hand experiences. Great class. Daily lessons (with the occasional pop-up assignment for those who never attend), multiple quizzes, 4 exams, and 4 papers that are interchangeable with independent field trips. Easy to pass if you put some work in.
He was amazing! Take him and get ready to learn
Great professor. He really knows what he's talking about. However dont text in his class, he finds it very disrespectful. He's very straight forward and gives tons of extra credit.
Professor Guttman is a good teacher to take online classes from. He is very responsive and posts things ahead of time so you can be sure to get things done. Assignments were also very interesting. Good teacher, I highly recommend him!
Dr. G is an awesome professor! He was formerly a practicing therapist, so he not only knows the book material but also has first hand experiences that he shares with his class. He makes all his lecture notes and material available online. If you do the field trips instead of papers, you will not have to do any writing. I would highly recommend him!
Amazing professor! You will look forward to going to his class because you actually learn and enjoy what he's talking about. Definitely a 10/10 and highly recommend!
Took him for human sexuality online and he was fantastic.
I really enjoyed this course. Was a little worried it was going to be ridiculously difficult but it was actually one of the most easiest and most rewarding classes I have taken so far. Take advantage of the agenda and get your assignments done early since he gives you everything at the start of the semester. :)
I wouldnt say psy 13 is easy, however I have taken other courses. Which require many papers and I could see how this class would be challenging to some. I am a natural writer however and had a great time researching interesting and scary topics in this class. I wish I could take him for more courses.
Guttman is a true rarity, he is incredible. He's sweet and very sarcastic! He enjoys teaching and is close to retiring so take advantage while you can! He has so much knowledge to offer and loves questions and debate.
I took this class over the summer so our papers were almost due back to back (still very manageable) however the larger papers were more spread out. He gave practice quizzes that you do as a class and gives extra credit on the tests. He really likes to engage the class in discussion and he listens to what you have to say. Lecture is never boring.
As a highschool sophomore, I was nervous about taking this class, it turned out to be one of the best classes I've ever taken!! Professor Guttman is amazing and gives lots of extra credit! His papers are not hard at all, and he prepares you super well for the tests! Plus, he helps you on the quizzes. I would definitely advise taking this class!
Professor Guttman is the best teacher I've ever had. He is truly such a genuine, caring person. He has become a mentor to me and inspired me to work as hard as I can for my career in psychology. As long as you show up, do the work, and study you will pass with an A. As long as you communicate with him, he will be lenient with you.
One word AMAZING ��������
Great psy professor! Does not give homework only quizzes that he will give the answers to in class. There are four papers and four tests including the final. Dont be intimidated about the papers I knew nothing about psychology and I still received good grades on the papers! He posts the exam materials on canvas. No need for textbook
Participation does not matter for his grading, but to understand the material BETTER, it helps. Gives his powerpoint on canvas that help for test. VERY COOL PROFESSOR. Willing to help you IF you're not just freeloading trying to get answers. 15 easy quizzes on canvas. 4 easy papers to work on for a month. 4 test that are not so easy on campus
As a current Grad student, I cannot thank this man enough for his dedication to teaching. He is a great prof and lectures well. He is knowledgable about anything psychological. I respect Dr. G. and he loves teaching. He is passionate about his field-take him before he retires, you will not regret it! One of the BEST professors you can take by far!
Ken Guttman was one of the most wonderful professors I had at Citrus. I learned so much from him, and loved his class and lectures! He was a truly kind and caring teacher. I was really sad to hear that he passed away this year. Rest in Peace, Ken.
Has clear grading guidelines. He is lecture heavy - attend his class so you don't miss out on info. You are able to print his lecture notes ahead of time, take them to class to jot important info he goes over. Easy A if you do the work and study for the exams. Don't waste his time before or after class he likes you to make office appointments.
