Attendance is a grade! There are about 12 quizzes and only 2 tests (midterm and final). So if you mess up one of them you are probably failing. He is rather interesting though and the material he tests over is easy.

Great teacher. Very Helpful. Very easy to speak with and ask questions. He makes the class fun and interesting. Be sure to study powerpoints and read the book.

Mr. Selman is the best teacher, he inspired me to major in Psychology. He's so funny but when it's time to be serious he knows how to really get down to the point. When he teaches it's easy to understand and if you don't understand he encourages you to speak up, or to come after class. Also, he is good at getting back to your emails quickly.

Selman will absolutely be remembered by me when Im 30. He sends out weekly class updated and he loves Lord of the Rings so he lines the weeks up as if we were in the LOTR story and to be honest its the highlight of my week, every week. He does study guide that actually help and lets you exempt if you have an A. 10/10 professor

Professor Selman was my favorite Professor at TJC I learned more in his class than all my other classes combined. If you're a Psychology major he prepares you for moving forward in your degree. Write out the notes then watch the lecture videos and add to them you will make an A. He's a great Professor!

I will 1oo% back up my Selman as the best professor on campus. He is an excellent teacher and has made great efforts for students to understand the material. He isn't super fast, and not crazy about grades. Just do your best and he will help you along the way. Most would consider his classes as just fun. His essays are moderate and interesting.

He likes to go through a power point to teach and encourages questions from students. You read a chapter each week and do a quiz, but it's interesting material.

Selman did a phenomenal job alongside Button. It's difficult to talk about them as separate individuals since what's at the heart and soul of this class is their co-teaching methodology. Even if you're not going into a psychology-related discipline, I would highly recommend this course. PSYC-2319, take it! Make sure it's in person, though!
