CondL: My FAVORITE CLASS SO FAR!!! Prof is understanding and warm. Classes are interactive and stray from traditional passive lecture! Uses his own notes to teach much of the material, and all notes are posted online. Not sure how tests are, semester has just begun, but TAKE LARRY whenever possible. Easy, fun, and inspirational! HIGHLY recommended.

Best PROF. at Rutgers, I am a senior and this is the best Prof. by far. Very interactive, keeps me awake.

Professor Jacobs is extremely nice, entertaining and helpful. But this class is just silly. You barely need to touch the textbook, he posts all his notes online and the test questions come directly from the notes. His lectures are just motivational activities, nothing really Psych related. Nicest & easiest professor you will ever have at Rutgers.

Jacobs is the nicest prof you will ever have. He's super nice if you have questions, but you shouldn't have any because his class is super easy. Don't go to class. If you do, his lectures are fun, but boring when he goes over material that is in his notes. Don't buy the book. He posts all his notes online and his exams are exactly from the notes.

Don't go to class. Don't buy the book. Download the notes off of sakai, read them over before the exam, and you'll get an A. He is super nice and super easy, class is like an added bonus.

Professor Jacobs is one of, if not the nicest professor at RU. He is so motivated and inspirational and really defines what a good professor should be all about. Classroom learning should be about life lessons at well as academic teaching and his class is exactly that. Plus, you don't have to buy the book. Recommended 100%!

Prof Jacobs is a good professor. He is very clear but exams were pretty tricky. Don't believe the posts the class is harder than you think.

This guy is AMAZING!!! =] You have to take one of his classes before you graduate.

Prof Jacobs is one of the nicest and most enthusiastic professors at Rutgers. Extremely nice and entertaing... Class itself was very easy, just read the book. Some questions are tricky but think about them. Never went to class and did very well. Overall, a must take.

TAKE THIS CLASS! He is great. He's probably the NICEST professor at Rutgers, and he WANTS to help you. Plus, his class is an easy A.

take this class! Don't buy the book! Just read your notes, and you'll get an A. =) Plus .. Jacobs is an AMAZING human being .

This is the greatest professor I have ever had!! You can do well in the course if you attend class and read the assigned materials, but you do have to work and study. But this class is so fun, and he makes the work exciting! The activities he does helped me remember the material better. He is incredibly helpful and class is fun! he is the best

This is a great professor. You do, however, need to buy the book. But, if you do all the readings and go to class you will do fine. And he does want you to do well also. He is incredibly helpful, and the lectures are hilarious. Even though attendance is mandatory, class is fun to go to!- you have to take a class of his before you graduate.

He is a nice guy, and really wants us to learn well. Exams are easy and come mostly from the book. Attendance is worth 20%. He let us out 30 minutes early every day. We don't learn that much since he just reads the notes and has the class do "fun", useless activities. To be honest, since I commuted, it was a waste of $4 gas to come to this class.

One of the best psychology classes I have ever taken at Rutgers! Easy A doesnt matter what he teaches, he will make things easy for you! Class is interesting makes you want to attend. Notes are posted online- but with blanks so you go to class. Class is fun and interactive with activities. MUST TAKE!

Plain and simple: if you're a Psych major and you do not get at least an A in this class, you ARE an idiot. By far, the easiest psych class I've taken. All the notes are online and given in lecture, they all come straight from the book. Jacobs is an absolute sweetheart, but if you actually want to learn something, I would seek elsewhere...

Great interactive teaching style.. Going to class was something I looked forward to; no boring lectures here. Jacobs possesses a real compassion for the success of his students.. by far the nicest professor I have ever had. I highly recommend taking a course with him, I myself plan on taking as many as possible.

Awesome Class. Very motivational. Great person.

Very nice guy and an interesting lecturer. He involves the class in examples and makes jokes to keep you awake. Attendance not mandatory, exams are easy, and posts class notes online. Will answer any questions by email in a timely manner.

As a person, Jacobs seems like a cool guy, but as a teacher he's only okay. He's veryyyy funny. He puts all his notes online word for word so don't bother going to class. If you do go to class and you have a hearing problem, sit in the front becuase he's deaf and can't always hear how loud he is.

Prof Jacobs was really fun and very nice to the students. Attendance is not mandatory but you'll find it helpful and fun.

Easy class! It was his first psych class and no one ever went! All his slides were posted online, no online quizzes, no clickers-so simple! And awesome lectures and very passionate and energetic about his work. He said he wanted to toughen up the course a bit more, but hey! DEFINETELY take his course! He's an awesome professor!

First of all this guy is probably the most upbeet and inspiring person I have ever seen. He's deaf and he loves life like no other person. As for the class if you want a classin which you get an A with bare minimum effort, this is it. I read the book the night before exam 1 and got a 100, the second exam I got a 90, and the third I studied basicall

interesting guy. never went to class but read and got A. just read the material. 4 exams (all 25% each)..he drops one.

He is a great guy and he drops the lowest test score (so if u do good on the first 3 exams u do not have to try on the final even though u still have to take it). He also makes class very interesting. Study the slides and your good. Easy A

If you can take him. One of the nicest guys out there. Very sweat, funny and helpful. One of the easier professors Ive had. Almost no one comes to class. But from what it seems it looks like he is trying to make his teachings harder and harder every semester. Some people finished the exams, and final in about 25-35 minutes, many scoring in the 90s

Prof Jacobs is one of, if not the most inspirational professor at rutgers. The exams are straight from his powerpoint slides and everything is covered. 4 tests, only counts the top 3 plus a 2pt oral extra credit project. This class is a B/A if you study before the tests.

such a nice professor. very understanding, tries really hard to get the class involved/upbeat. sweet guy...interesting topics - if you're taking gen psych take him for sure!

He's one of my favorite professors at Rutgers! You can immediately tell he loves teaching and his students. Take him for Gen Psych - very motivational, inspiring and funny. I like his stories. Tests are pretty easy. He also uses an interesting textbook :)

Best professor I ever had! Material is straightforward and class is very simple. Although class was not mandatory, I still went to every class because of this guy. Very inspiring and motivational. Definitely recommend taking him for any class.

love this man, such a sweetheart, never had to attend class just review the definitions for the test, easy.. he puts the powerpoints online

AMAZING. He's a great teacher,and it was a good/entertaining class. Read the powerpoints he puts online (from class) and you'll do fine. Very easy!!

Great professor, if you actually go to class you'll enjoy your time, although you don't actually have to go. Very fair professor, exams are from his slides and non-cumulative.

Profesor Jacobs is one of the most genuine teachers i know. His class is enjoyable b/c you can tell he loves what he does. The exams are MC and very easy so long as u either go to class/or get the slides from elsewhere. Textbook not needed but helpful. I strongly suggest this teacher!!!

This class is incredibly easy and Prof Jacobs is so incredibly nice and helpful! I got a B but that's because i slacked off a lot for the first two exams- but other than that, it's an easy A

great teacher, interesting material, great in-class examples, in class examples. i would reccommend coming to class despite the ppts being available online because they are fill in the blank and he puts questions on the test from class discussions and/or examples. FOUR TESTS, 4 RPTS or 2 papers. jacobs is flexible and fair!

He was great, very upbeat, interesting lectures. attendance not mandatory, but when you're there you get a lot of attention and personal help.

I'm so thankful to have taken General Psychology with Professor Jacobs. He is an amazing person who has so much passion and love for teaching and also for his students. He is so encouraging and positive in assisting each his students and makes you want to achieve in his class. Kind-hearted & genuine- truly one of the best professors at Rutgers!!

Very optimistic and enthusiastic about his class and life itself. Easy exams and simple lectures. Easy A. Very helpful professor and he's so kind.

Never went to one class and got an Easy A. Gives you everything you need for exams on sakai, just gotta fill in the blanks by reading.

Really nice. Super enthusiastic and caring. Straight-forward exams. Go to class to get complete powerpoints and examples/demonstrations.

He is a GREAT teacher. He has an inspiring life story. His lectures are fun and, almost, life-changing. You won't want to miss his class. I wish every student got to meet him. No need to buy the book

BEST TEACHER AT RUTGERS! he's very enthusiastic & makes the material super easy to understand. he's a very sweet guy. you don't need the textbook for his class because he puts the notes, which are fill in the blank power points, on sakai and that's basically what you need to study.

General Psych with Jacobs is probably the best decision you could possibly make! The exams are all multiple choice, directly taken from what he says in lecture/power points. You don't even need the book. Additionally, he makes class truly fun and interactive, one that you actually want to go to!

Best psych teacher you can get. 4 multiple choice exams. Also has extra credit assignment at the end of class if you need it. Very fun glass. He is deaf but reads lips and was not awkward at all. Very motivational too.

i love this guy! You clap alot in class .. he really cares. And you can't fall asleep in this class. Too exciting :)

larry was the best, if you go to class he is SO exciting. he makes the lass very alive by dancing and bringing students up with a lot of fun interaction and examples. if you go to class and fill in the power points theres no reason you shouldn't get a B+ or higher :D

easiest class in the world read the powerpoints and you will get a 100

Very enthusiastic, very inspirational, very motivating, and very easy. His disability can make it quite difficult to understand him. However, he really cares about everyone and loves his job. You might need to self teach the material sometimes because he goes through the slides quickly.

Easy. Just read powerpoint slides and you'll be fine.

EASIEST CLASS EVER! I stopped going to class after the first exam and still got As and an A in the class. Just get the fill-in-the-blanks for his powerpoint, study those, and you're good to go for the class. He takes everything from the powerpoints, no need for book at all. Really nice guy, too. He's hard to understand sometimes but it's worth it.

The most enthusiastic teacher ever! He loves to teach and actually cares about his students. You don't need to memorize the book but I actually found the book VERY interesting and read it. Read the powerpoints and pay attention in class. He makes class very fun with examples and videos so even though attendance is not mandatory, I always went.

Just read the powerpoints a day or two before the exams. Don't buy the book, you don't need it. He makes the class fun and tolerable. Class isn't mandatory. I hope he teaches again, it will probably be the only class I will get away with not paying attention at all and doing well.

Prof. LJ is an excellent Gen Psych instructor. Exams are all made super easy through Sakai access to his PPs. The exams are only on his PPs, the textbook is not needed at all for this course. Review the PPs, do the RPUs and this course should be an EASY A.

Great professor, has a positive attitude despite his disability, is always willing to help. This class isn't as easy- I did have to study sufficiently to get an A! B is manageable by only reading the power points the day before an exam. However, I recommend getting the book (or an old version of it) and reading to get an A. Overall- great class!

Great teacher and class lectures are short and not mandatory all the power points are online and that's all you need for the tests. 4 exams non cumulative. Professor Jacobs is a very inspirational, caring person who wants everyone to do well and is very easy to talk to. Overall, I recommend taking his class.

Professor Jacobs is an inspiring, caring, and passionate professor. The class is easy, all PowerPoints are posted online. 3 exams and a final, all are just like the PowerPoints. Lectures are not mandatory but I attended them just out of respect for him, he lets you out early anyway. I would suggest taking him, he truly is an amazing person.

He is very inspirational and always has a smile on his face. The power points make up the exam

Very kind and inspirational man, easily my favorite professor of the semester. Posts notes online, tests are multiple choice only, and attendence is neither mandatory nor necessarry.

Super easy class! Attendance is not mandatory, and his exams are straight from the powerpoints he posts. Easy extra credit assignment too! There are only 3 exams and a final, and from experience, an A is possible if you review the powerpoints a few hours or the night before. At first, it may be difficult to understand him, but it gets easier.

Most amazing professor. So much energy and you can tell he loves what he does. Very easy class compared to other psych classes. My favorite professor, i actually look forward to his class. He's so inspirational and always has a positive attitude. Highly recommended!

Such a sweet and caring man. He is actually deaf, but that does not stop him from putting on a fun and enjoyable lecture. He is so kind, and I wish he would be teaching a higher up course because I would love to have him again. Do not fall back on studying because it can hurt you in the end. People say that he is easy, but you need to study!!

Professor Lawrence is a great professor and he has such great enthusiasm. He's also very nice and willing to help his students.

Professor Lawrence is a great professor. He puts up his powerpoint slides on sakai but you should go to lecture because he also teaches new material and shows videos. Overall, class is very interesting and he is very inspirational.

Amazing guy. All lecture slides are online and it's easy to never go to class and get an A, but Professor Jacobs is interesting to listen to and very enthusiastic so you almost feel bad skipping.

Proff Jacobs is with out a doubt one of the greatest proffessors i've ever had. He is so inspirational and so funny that you cant help but be interested in what he says. Our very first class, he made us all stand up and start dancing to "Happy". He makes sure everything he teaches is to the point and no unnecessary info. Exams are super easy too!

Professor Jacobs is a very inspirational person, and a decent lecturer. Class attendance really isn't a must, but I actually did better on exams when I did go to class (but maybe that's just me). Exams are pretty straightforward, as long as you memorize the power points - if you don't, then they'll definitely seem hard. Overall, a good class.

You should definitely try to take the class with Professor Jacobs! He does as much as he can to ensure that you get an A and the class setting is pretty interactive. If you don't want to go to class, you should still be fine. Just make sure you really memorize the powerpoints or you won't do well.

Professor Jacobs ensures that the class is informative & interesting. He asks if everyone understands and actually cares about his students. I respect him as a person as well as a Professor. I am thankful that my path in life crossed with his. Any student who takes his class will benefit.

His amazing personality will make even the most bland topics entertaining. Going to class is not mandatory but it is definitely worth it since he will make you smile and feel motivated.

Professor Jacobs is one of the most inspirational people I've met and one of the best teachers I've ever had. He's a motivational speaker and truly cares about the well-being of his students. His tests are very reasonable; as long as you study, you can easily get a B or better. If you get the chance to take a class with Professor Jacobs, take it!

The lectures in this class are very boring because no one shows up to them which makes Jacobs's in class lectures boring. All of his lectures are uploaded to Sakai and the exams are based straight off of those lectures. If I were you, I would just keep up weekly with lecture notes and not go to class to save yourself some time for something else

Amazing professor. Easy exams, entertaining lectures, lots of extra credit and very inspirational.

Amazing guy. Doesn't give HW or anything. Stopped going to lectures after the first test because I realized it was a total waste of time. Self-study the slides he posts on Sakai and you're golden. Easy A, not much to it.

AMAZING professor! I wish he taught more courses so I can take him for another class. The course itself is easy, and you dont have to show up to get an A, though you'll prob want to. He is such a positive person and it was actually fun sitting in his lectures.

I'm a junior and took this class to boost my GPA. It was a solid class. It was easy, still I learned a lot. Prof Jacobs is the most inspirational prof I have ever seen. Studying slides was enough to get an A, but I went to his lectures to enjoy an amusing, educational lecture with so many activities. Don't buy the book. Jacob is awesome!

He's such a wonderful human, he really cares about his students and wants everyone to pass. He is so fun and really enjoys life which I loved about him. I never really showed up to lecture but I was like a point away from an A and he bumped my grade to an A. You just have to remember the materials on his slides and you'll be fine for his exams!!

memorize the slides he puts up and it's an easy A. Soooooooooooooooo crazy kind

BEST PROFESSOR EVER, doesn't use iclickers, enjoyable class, does a lot of class experiments, exams are easy if you study, he gives extra credit, super nice and funny, best class ever and made it interesting and made learning fun

only studied the night before. class is relaxing and no work is required.

One of the best Professors Rutgers has to offer. He is just the sweetest thing you will ever come across. The lectures are actually interesting and the exams are easy if you review the powerpoints he posts as well as the study guide. It's an easy A, but some work is still required. I would study the day before the exams and got an A on all of them.

He is the kindest person in this world. So funny and genuinely cares about his students. Attendance isn't mandatory but you want to come to class just to see him! He is the best TAKE HIM!!!!! I wish he taught more sections. What a gem. 10/10 would recommend.

amazing professor, doesn't give hw so you need to make sure you do well on the exams, study powerpoints and you'll do well on the exams, attendance isn't really mandatory but you should go because they are fun

I absolutely loved this professor! He was super enthusiatic and very prepared. We had access to all the notes and study guides from the very first day. His TA was super nice too. The only assignments are 4 multiple-choice tests and there is tons of extra credit options. Attendance isn't mandatory but definitely helps and classes are fun.

Professor Larry Jacobs is seriously such a blessing. An amazing professor and an even better person. Lecture isn't mandatory, but you'll want to go! He is seriously so sweet and has every student's best interest at heart. Exams are all multiple choice and based on the powerpoints. A pretty easy class and just a great overall experience. LOVE HIM!!

Professor Jacobs is the best most inspiring upbeat positive professor Ive ever had. There is absolutely no reason anyone Shiism take psych 101 with any other professor. Hes amazing. No papers except extra credit if you want to do it. Grade is only based off of 4 exams the entire semester. Study the slides and youll do fine.

Professor Jacobs is the best professor I've had so far. He has such a positive attitude towards psychology (and life in general) and he tries his best to make this class fun for his students. He is also very understanding so you will definitely have a great time. You learn a lot while the class feels like a break from all the stress!!

THE BEST PROFESSOR AT RUTGERS! Professor Lawrence/Larry Jacobs is so upbeat and inspirational. We start every class yelling "Helloo Happiness!" together and it sets the mood for each lecture. Going to the online lectures aren't mandatory, but highly recommended. Quizlet will be your best friend for the exams for all the psych terms.

Professor Jacobs is awesome. Sometimes it's a little difficult to understand him but you get used to it. As long as you study his google slides you will be all good during exams. There is no homework or extra assignments; your grade is based off your exam scores. There are 4 exams in total. There is also lost of extra credit. Easy A.

The best professor you will ever have. He is so caring and fun. You learn a lot and this is one class you will actually want to go to. Very motivational! The best. Take him!!!!!!

Loved having him as a teacher! Out of all my teachers, he was the most understanding and caring.

Prof Jacobs is a gem. protect him at all costs

I do not cry easily, but I cried twice in this class. I was so constantly inspired and happy to be in that class. He's really the best professor ever!!!

Professor Jacobs is the kindest, most entertaining professor I've ever had at Rutgers. He truly cares about his students doing well and makes himself very accessible over email or during lecture if you have questions. He incorporates positivity and self-image into his lectures and honestly really inspires you to be happy. 11/10 from me

Professor Jacob's was my favorite professor I have had so far. He is kind, compassionate and an inspirational human being. You are guaranteed to leave with a smile on your face after his lectures. He helped me keep going through a tough first semester. Overall, he is not only a great professor but a great person as well.

super easy class!! great gpa boost, posts all of his PowerPoints and study guides for his exams also has several super easy extra credit assignments
