Mr. Roboto?
He is the best teacher I have had in the 3 yrs I've been at UNCW. He makes class interesting as well as educational. I learned alot and it always helps that he's a cutie pie!
His test were a little difficult for me.....Because he always had two answers that look like they maybe right...
He's so nice! Very cheesy jokes, had an 8 am class with him, but he was pretty interesting. Puts powerpoint notes online quickly, easy to review, tests not too difficult. :)
The class content was about as boring as it gets, but he made it okay cause he's such a nice teacher! Definitely recommend him for anything, but don't take tests and measurements, it's sooooo boring!!!!!!
Class was boring. I took Psy of Personality. But he was very cute, not married at the time, and so my friends and I enjoyed staring at him for 50 minutes three days a week.
Hot! Great teacher and great class
Great teacher he really knows his material. But his tests are really hard, make sure you read and take great notes (take down what he says too). I learned alot but had to study alot for tests.
Corny but hot. He is a good teacher and makes sure that you understand the material.
His lectures are fun and entertaining to sit through. At times he will bring up corny stories but that makes the class more laid back and interesting to sit through. I definately recommend him as a teacher and you'll be surprised at how much you learn
best teacher i had in college...very clear, knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and HOT! Just go to class, take notes, and study...fair tests..definately recommend

Best professor at UNCW!!! Very intelligent, helpful, funny, and makes class an enjoyable experience. I breezed through the test and made a 98 in the class... and yeah, he's pretty easy on the eyes ;)
He was so entertaining and not to mention that he's just really hot!! His tests are kind of hard, but he'll help you if you need him to. He's probably the best psychology professor I've ever had.
nice guy, but he can be really vague on topics, you need to read the book too
He is so funny.. You do have to study hard for this test, because they are hard.. He is so HOT...
loved the class, very funny and he makes class fun. The tests were straight from the notes, easy A. He's hot too!!
Very good teacher! He's funny and not to mention really hot! Strongly recommend taking his class.
HOT HOT HOT....i had him for a two hour and 45 minute class and he was very very easy on the eyes. His tests arent too bad either!
He really makes class fun. He's test are easy as long as you study and go to class. He's so nice and helpful with the projects he assigns. (and really HOT)
Great professor!! Really funny and exciting. I had him for a long class but never got bored...tests aren't too bad, but you still have to come to class and look over notes. Plus he's a fox!
Really great teacher, good sense of humor, seems to really love teaching psychology. He was very helpful and will explain anything, just make sure to read the book and take good notes! Can't afford to skip classes. I truly enjoyed the class...and yes..he's cute.
He's totally hot...I got a low B because I couldn't concentrate on what he was talking about. Not to mention his wife is really nice and his kids are the cutest. Darn.
Good professor, just study and you will do fine.
He's hilarious!!
He is an awesome teacher. He has a great sense of humor and will help you if you have any questions. Don't skip classes, take good notes and read the book and you will do fine.
If you have to take Psych, take it with this guy. He's the only teacher I know that can keep my attention for 2 hr, 45 min. He makes it into a really interesting class.
This man is gorgeous. I dreaded taking this basic studies class in a giant auditorium... but when I got there I actually wanted to sit up front and pay attention if only because this man is HOT HOT HOT!!! Plus he makes class at least somewhat interesting, what with the subject matter and all.
He made himself available for students needing help and was understanding about situations that could have otherwise hurt your grade. he made the subject matter interesting with his little jokes and kept us awake through the 3 hr classes with ease. great prof.
Dr. Lecci is a cool teacher, he knows his stuff and manages to make a 3 hour long class interesting. he's nice and the tests arent bad if you study and attend class. i would recommend this class
He is very funny keeps even a huge class in an auditorium interested. (just make sure your cell phone is off or he makes it a pretty embarrassing event) Oh, and hes HOT!
oh man is he hot...i don't care if i'm being shallow. dr. lecci is awesomely gorgeous and a great professor!
Can we say HOT! He is very interesting and tells corny jokes that will crack you up. I recommend taking his class because he knows his stuff and he's nice to look at! Even though its a big class he still cares about the individual. Will you marry me Dr. Lecci?
I'm sure anything negative I had to say about Lecci would be negated by the large sum of "hot" declarations he has received prior to my review so I'll just save it. I recommend. He is a decent professor who is occasionally funny at teaching a moderately interesting class. It's bearable/amusing.
This guy knows his stuff!! Tests are a little tough but not impossible. Study heavily from notes and GO TO CLASS!! I know it sucks, but I'm telling you for this class it's a must. He cute and occasionaly funny. Overall pretty good class. doesn't matter anyway ...its required!!
Prof. Lecci is a great teacher! He has a good sense of humor, and cares about students' opinions. The class is mostly interesting...overall a good class, and I recommend taking it.
Intersting and very nice.
Whoo! Italian STALLION!! Be ready for your jaw to hit the floor girls, don't get this class with b/f, he's a HOTTIE! He's a really good teacher too. The class was interesting in itself, but he made that much more enjoyable. I took him over the summer, and as long as u study, he's not bad at all. Read ur book and go over your notes and u'll do fine!
Tests were sooooooooooooo hard that sums it up
No Comments
Very good at what he teaches. If you study the tests aren't that bad. The hardest part for me was paying attention to what he was saying, and stop undressing him in my mind!
Vey nice man. His tests are hard but his lechures are interesting. He knows his stuff and tries to keep you laughing and interested.
Very interesting and informative lectures. I had to work my butt off for the exams...but I really enjoyed the information in his class and learned alot. He is also nice to look at!
This class sounded so interesting but I really didn't like it. Lecci is nice and a good professor but the info is a lot of repeat from 105. Kinda dull. I didn't learn a thing. Lots of more interesting psych classes out there.
Dr. Lecci is SEXY. sexy man and a good teacher... could there be a better combo? eye candy while you learn.
Very interesting Teacher!
Very good teacher, he makes it interesting to learn more. He also post the notes for you!
A great teacher! The lowest test score I got was a 94, You will do fine as long as you go to class and pay attention, I NEVER read the book and got a high A.
First college D ... class sucked.
Clear, covers almost everything in class. Interesting. Tells stories. Great class.
It doesn't hurt one bit that the professor is hot as hell!!!
HE IS SOO GORGEOUS!!! Great class. He made the class very interesting because he told stories and related them to the material that we needed to learn. I would DEFINITELY recommend him for any class that he teaches. He's amazing
He posts his power points online so attendence isn't necessary but he gives extra credit if you go. Tests are way easier then most of the psy 105 classes, all MC. As long as you go over the notes and do some reading before the tests there not bad at all. 3 Tests make up entire grade. Would definetly recommend.
dr. lecci is one of the hottest humans to ever walk the earth!
Dr. Lecci is awesome. I have learned so much from him and he makes it interesting. Very organized and willing to help out when needed. I highly recommend him.
Hot hot professor!! But he is not the easiest teacher to say the least.. GO TO CLASS, take good notes, and meet with him before tests and you will be fine! Nice guy!
Dr. Lecci is very HOT, and he's also a really nice teacher and very willing to help. I didn't like the class but mostly just because it was 3 hours. Take good notes and keep up with readings and you'll be fine.
Great teacher, the class is somewhat hard, but if you go to class and take notes/pay attention you will do fine. He does his best to make class fun and interesting, does not take role, or require a book, but doing both will help out a lot
He is very smart, but in lectures i think that works against him. He almost talks over students, and although he's nice, charming, and handsome it was my first C in college.
great teacher! makes class interesting. tests are very straight foward and easy!
Dr. Lecci is very compassionate and allowed me to make-up tests when neccessary. I completely agree with the comment about him "talking over" students with his extensive knowledge of the subject and exquisite vocabulary. His classes are usually at night and VERY large. Only take him if you had psychology in highschool and have a great background
Awesome teacher, really makes subject interesting! Nice to look at when the class was 3 hours long!
Class attendance is extra credit. Tests come straight from his powerpoints. Nice Guy, made the material interesting with good examples.
He is a really good teacher, he makes his classes interesting and he isn't that bad looking either.
Ok professor. Really enjoys listening to himself talk, class will go on FOREVER so if you have a short attention span, don't take him. Not a very hard class- easy intro just study lecture notes and you'll be fine.
Very organized! Expand on the power points that he post online-print them out and take them to class and tests will be fine. If want to go the extra little bit, compare book readings to notes to get an A. He is very approachable and wants to help students.
He makes the class very interesting by relating real life stories to the material. Attendence isn't necessarily mandatory but you get extra credit for coming. Plus he is very good looking.
Attendence isn't mandatory, but you get extra credit. Very nice and willing to help, available outside of class alot. Tests are long and hard. Our range was a 23-97 on the first test. Class is interesting and he makes it fun.
I think he is a fabulous teacher...he knows what he's talking about and how to explain it. He gives you all the powerpoints, but you need to go to class to get everything that'll be on the test. I found his class very interesting, but don't take it if you don't like psychology.
Lecci is a good teacher who genuinely wants to help you. He is easy to talk to and his intro class is big (70-100). To get an A, look at the book, movies, powerpts, and your notes. He gives out the ppts but take notes also because there is a lot of supplemental info that he says in class that you need to hear for the test. 3 hours is too long.
Take this class! Lecci is fun and makes psychology interesting! Attendance is extra credit; but if you just attend class your defintely getting a decent grade!
He gives extra credit for attendance but it's not mandatory. Class is long (2 1/2 hours) but he tries to make it bearable by joking around a lot. Posts his notes online and his tests are really straight forward, which is how tests should be for an introductory class!! I'm taking him again next semester in another psych class so I def recommend him.
Funny. Smart. Hot doesn't quite cover it, it's more like relentlessly good looking, you WANT him to have a flaw. Seriously, the class is fun and he is dynamic. It is also made more interesting by the fact that he can cite his own research, you are learning from a pro. He is emotionally healthy and never insults anyone, ever.
Class was O.K. Puns were often used in an attempt at humor, but was sometimes missed. Class was interesting yet lectures weren't always clear and tests followed the lecture powerpoints. Better than a lot of professors but don't look to have an amazing time
He was very funny, interesting, and had structured lectures. If you go to class and take notes you'll make an A. It helps also that he is very hot.
He's funny and keeps class interesting. Also offers study sessions before tests... which I never attended but assume are helpful. Attendance isn't mandatory. Take him.
Keeps it real. Knows a lot about psychology, and keeps class interesting with jokes and good examples. Answers questions well. Tests are pretty hard. Attendance isn't mandatory. Overall hard, but interesting class.
LOVED HIM! one of the best teachers I've ever had. He definately loves what he teaches. His class was almost 3 hours long, but it was my favorite class and he makes it easy to pay attention. Definately not an easy A, but read the pages in the book he tells you to and know your notes and you'll do okay on the tests.
Such an easy class. Go and take notes, read over them a few times and you'll be fine for the tests! I never even once opened my book and I got an A. He's super enthusiastic about what he's teaching and always willing to help. Super easy and nice- TAKE HIM!
By far one of the best professors at UNCW. Smart, funny, definitely keeps your attention. Contrary to popular belief, you do need to attend class and take notes. He does put the powerpoint online, but it really isn't very useful without the information he says in class.
He's a fine teacher, but he comes from left field sometimes. Anti-depressants are placebos because if they really acted on neurotransmitters, effects would be felt right away? I thought this was a strange, and careless thing to say. and there were other odd things, too, which came across as phony, in the end.
Here is the truth. He is attractive and is energetic in class. Very bright and loves what he knows but does not love teaching. He teaches because he is bright and successful. By far the worst class I have taken here. Tests do not reflect material taught. Have stayed all night studying and still done average. Awful all in all. Avoid him as a teacher
big lecture, only four grades for the entire class. you have to study to do good on the tests. nice guy though and some of the information is very interesting.
Really great guy. The subject matter is really interesting and the class is very easy. Test questions come from lectures. Powerpoints are online but don't make sense unless you go to class and take your own notes to supplement and clarify. I didn't use the text at all. Just study that and you will easily make an A.
he is SOOOO hot!! and probably one of the funniest teachers on campus. it was like going to a comedy show every time. best teacher i've had so far. go to class though, most of his tests are based off lectures.
Very good teacher. Funny and outgoing. Go to class because he gives you extra credit for attending and all the tests are based on his lectures. Only 4 grades which are all tests and final not cumulative. Highly reccommend..
sat in the 1st row just so i could be closer to his hotness, VERY attractive! tons of enthusiasm and makes the material interesting.. no hw, no quizzes, exams really arent bad if you go to class and take GOOD notes.. definitely recommend
very funny. makes material interesting!
I loved having Dr. Lecci. Extremely interesting, funny and intelligent. His exams were very well organized, and his class isn't difficult if you attend every class and review the powerpoints before the exam. Reading the book does boost your test scores as well.
Great teacher for intro to psych. 4 tests. Not cummulative. Based on powerpoints. Extra credit for attending. Definitely reccommend it.
Best teacher I've had so far. I would recommend him to anyone. He's entertaining, hilarious, and hot. His class was the one class I made sure to not miss. Do yourself a favor and take his class ^_^
Dr. Lecci is so funny. He literally makes my friend and I laugh during each lecture. He explains the material well and provides examples that are relevant to daily life. Defiantly take his class!
I love Dr. Lecci. Yes he's good looking, but it's not just that. He takes concepts from the class and gives great examples to help you remember them and relate them to every day life. He let me make up an exam I missed because of a death in the family and was very respectful about it. Take notes on things he SAYS not just the powerpoints. Love him!
Loved him!! He really made me enjoy psychology so much more. Really looking forward to taking another one of his classes. Four tests in the semester, but if you show up and do what you're supposed to it is easy. Lectures are interesting.
Exams are hard. Never know where the questions on the exam will come from. Many of the questions on the exams are those ones that teachers put on that are very tricky. "Chose the closest answer"
He's awesome! If you just go to class and pay attention and study a little before the tests, you should do fine.
He is awesome. He's funny, hot, and super nice. He makes the material easy to understand and interesting. He's my absolute favorite teacher. DON'T BUY THE BOOK. I did and didn't open it once. You really don't have to. Just study the power points and add notes to them from what he says. Everyone loves him. Easy class. Take him!!!
Pretty good professor. Explains everything and helps with extra credit and such. The book helps as well. Study for test though they're kinda hard.
Saying that I love him, and his class, is an understatement. He made psych really interesting and fun; I got over 100 by doing the extra experiments and always having my clicker. Come to class and you'll be easily prepared for exams, and get lots of extra points :)
Dr. Lecci's tests are very hard. Half of the time I don't fully understand what he is asking. He is a great guy and tries to crack little jokes every once in a while, but he really needs to make his tests better.
AWESOME PROFESSOR
Great professor and is very engaging. Gives lots of examples about what he's talking about, and really makes you listen to his lectures. Easy to connect the dots in this class. His tests are pretty tough - I took one expecting a B+ at the least and received a C... don't go in with too much confidence!
Professor Lecci was absolutely wonderful. He is an excellent lecturer and makes a class of 100+ students feel much smaller. As long as you attend the class and take good notes, passing is not a problem. Fortunately, Lecci makes attending class worthwhile by making the subject interesting. Highly, highly recommend.
Great professor! Challenging class and definitely learned quite a bit. Easy to work with and accommodating if you work hard and show the effort.
Helpful, easy class if you pay attention, and the studies are best to get out of the way early. He is really energetic and always keeps you entertained and does a good job of relating the material to real world examples
Fun professor. His lectures can feel a bit long some days, but he does a good job at keeping it interesting for most of the time. He's really helpful if you ask him about stuff after class.
Mr. Lecci is a really cool guy. He tries to make his class interesting and funny. It's important to go to class even though attendance isn't mandatory because most of his test questions come from what he says. The tests are hard, but doable. Overall I would recommend him if you go to class and pay attention
Entertaining and knowledgeable, Dr. Lecci is so far my favorite teacher. his tests aren't hard, but if you print off the powerpoints and annotate you'll do fine. Definitely recommend this class as you'll actually learn by the end with only moderate difficulty. Objectively the hottest teacher in the school to boot.
Dr. Lecci is such a sweet guy. He really cares about his students (or at least the ones that show interest and effort). He was made to lecture on psychology. He puts so much into his lectures to set his students up for success. His tests can be hard if you don't study, but if you put the effort in, it is well worth it. TAKE HIS CLASS!
Lecci is so awesome in lecture. He explains everything perfectly in order to help you understand. Most of the test is from lecture! The tests aren't super easy but they are manageable if you go to class. TAKE this class!! You won't be disappointed.
His lectures are very entertaining and will make you laugh. He claims his test come from what he says in class, not much from the slides, and next to nothing from the book. Do not recommend this class unless you are an exceptional note taker or record his lectures so you have exactly what he said documented. Because of this exams are quite hard.
One of the best professors I've ever had! He makes attending class quite fun. His tests are medium difficulty, but he covers it all in class. Seriously a fun class! I would recommend it!
Tests are pretty difficult, but if you attend ALL the lectures and take notes on what he says and not just what is on the board, the tests are easier. Very entertaining, class is never boring and he always has positive energy.
Dr. Lecci is an awesome professor. He is super smart and is very entertaining. His tests are veryyyy difficult, but as long as you read and take notes, you'll be fine. You MUST take notes because a lot of his questions are based on what he says in class. I learned so much and I definitely recommend taking him if you're willing to put in the work!
Fairly easy class to take online. Grading is really straightforward - pretty much divided into 3 self-paced sections, each with a discussion, 3 quizzes, and an exam.
Great teacher and class! I would recommend his class to anyone. He is helpful, knowledgeable and fair. Thank you, Dr. Lecci!
His lectures are very entertaining and will make you laugh. He claims his test come from what he says in class, not much from the slides, and next to nothing from the book. That is simply not true. His exams come completely from what he says and if you don't record his lectures to refer to you will struggle with his difficult exams.
Dr. Lecci is seriously the best, he is there for advice and makes class fun and enjoyable. His lectures are to the bell so let him finish and stop packing up at 5 till its so rude! Get the book, read the book and study the book since he wrote it , a lot of the material on tests come from the book. Tests are tricky and you really have to study!
I liked his class a lot and I appreciated the pace at which he taught. However, the test questions were extremely poorly written (you had to try to understand the question before thinking about what the right answer was). I feel like his tests had more detail than his lectures. Overall he is a nice guy. (also, you better get the textbook).
I absolutely love Dr. Lecci. His lectures tend to get confusing very quickly if you don't keep up. He's very enthusiastic and he'll go out of his way to help you if you only ask. His tests are difficult, but fair. Read and go to class and you won't have any problem.
I bought the book but never used it and still got an A. He uses powerpoint slides and all of the test questions come from them. Just print out the slides, write everything he says onto the slides, and study them. No reason not to get an A. Extra points come from the required assessments that you do in class & they are super easy. Take him!
Great professor. Really smart guy and funny
Dr. Lecci really is passionate about the topics presented and puts a lot of thought and energy into his lectures. However, he will only help if you go to him during office hours and his tests are really hard. The material on the tests are based off the lectures and a lot from the book. Make sure you go to class and read the chapters!
If you show up to the lectures and take notes you can easily get an A. He puts his power points on BB so it's easy to follow along and you know what you will be tested on. His tests are about 70 questions and all multiple choice. He is an enthusiastic teacher, very intelligent, and really helpful if you need to ask him questions.
This was a good class. The lectures were fairly engaging and explained the concepts well. I would recommend.
Dr. Lecci is a great professor-tough class though. You have to work hard to do well on his exams. However he's extremely helpful and will give you tips on the best way to study if you meet with him! Focusing in class can be difficult so it's very important to pay attention as best as you can. Not a terrible class by any means, just be ready!
Dr. Lecci is a very nice person. But as a teacher he is so hard. I made my lowest grade of college in his class. There are 3 tests and that's all the grades you will have so if you do badly, you're in trouble. He is such a nice guy and is very passionate though.
He's amazing. He really really cares about people learning and knows his stuff.
Funny guy. His tests can be moderately difficult, but I was able to get an A on them after studying hard. You just need to put in the work and read his textbook and it'll be fine. He also gives personality assessments for you to do outside of class and they're pretty interesting. He uses some of his own research. Fun class, would take him again.
Lectures are vital with the brilliant Dr. Lecci; don't skip! That being said, he is a really funny guy, though his course was challenging for me. Not an easy A! I recorded his lectures to make sure I retained all the info.
IF YOU WANT AN EASY A DO NOT TAKE HIM!! His lectures are interesting but his test are ridiculous. I studied SO much and I still am going to make a B in the class.
Dr. Lecci is an incredible lecturer and is one of the most intelligent on staff. Just beware that you just have four tests and that's it. He expects you to read the textbook (because he wrote it). He has a good class, but this will not be an easy A.
Dr. Lecci is a wonderful professor, one of the best I've encountered at UNCW. He has a good sense of humor and keeps his classes interesting and is also extremely intelligent without being arrogant. He's very accommodating and happy to help his students. If you enjoy the personality class and want to be in a DIS, reach out to him.
The power points contain lengthy slides and the tests are quite difficult
Lecci tries to keep it funny but each slide is packed with info. It is difficult to listen to him and focus on what the slide says. He does post them on blackboard before the tests. There are 4 exams, 6 personality tests and then attendance for your grade. The tests aren't impossible, but they are hard, you HAVE to know info going into the test.
Kind of the worst, b/c his slides are PACKED with info and it's honestly kinda hard to pay attention because I didn't really know how to take notes in his class. His tests are about 70 questions which is a lot to take in. I wish I bought the book. I went to his office hours once and he seemed super happy to help with my questions!
Super easy class! 10/10 recommend taking this class
Super easy online test. Has 3 sections that contain 3 quizzes each and a section exam. No final exam. Requires the use of Packback but thats an easy 100! 10/10 recommend this class and this teacher!
Lecci is a genius. He's one of the smartest professors and people I've ever met. I scored a C on the first test but wound up with a B+ in the class after visiting him during office hours several times. It helps to be a good note taker if you want to do well in this class. You will learn a lot if you take 246 with Lecci.
Dr. Lecci's online course was very easy. If you read the material and take an active part in the online discussion, there's no reason you won't make an A in this class.
Dr. Lecci was a decent professor. He wrote the textbook so i'd definitely suggest you read it for the tests. There are 4 tests that are 70 questions each and you're typically required to know all the information. I spent between 6-10 hours studying for each exam to get an A. You learn a lot but the lectures are dense and mostly him talking
Dr. Lecci is a great professor and is very intelligent. However, his exams are a bit ridiculous in the questions asked and its more about the parts of the research he discusses like the IV and very random specific questions that isnt discussed in class and doesnt make sense. If you study hard and go to class then you can get an A.
DO NOT TAKE HIM! I hated this class more than anything in the world! He talks so soft, he starts class early ALL THE TIME so allow more than a ten min gap, his tests are so long/hard. He's super cocky and it shows! He wrote the book so you can't ever get a different explanation. AND his canvas is of no help, so disorganized!!!
Dr. Lecci is engaging and kind, and it is obvious that he cares for his students. He presents interesting questions and studies and puts an emphasis on understanding the material rather than memorization. He keeps lectures interesting and does his best to answer any question. He is a wonderful professor and I cannot wait to have him again.
Very easy summer psych class. Definitely need the textbook but only three sections, each ten days long. Fairly easy quizzes and exams and interesting discussion posts. Overall, be sure to read the syllabus and you should have 0 problems getting an A.
Dr. Lecci's class is fully online, he is very helpful with feedback on discussion posts and gives in depth info in order to get them done. Based completely on quizzes, discussions and tests for 3 sections. If you take notes and read the chapters you will pass
Dr. Lecci is a good professor. His lectures are dense and tests focus heavily on the research discussed in class. Theres only 4 tests, one assignment, and an optional paper. His tests are hard, so take this class when you have lots of room in your schedule to study for it.
This class was so interesting. You have to study for his exams, but we're in college so come on, we need to start studying. He is so smart and caring, you just have to care too. Taking him again for PSY 324. My favorite PSY professor.
he's a great professor with a good sense of humor. i really enjoyed his class and would 100% take again
Dr. Lecci is a nice guy and makes jokes to keep the atmosphere light. However, he's lecture heavy with 4 exams that are 24 percent of your grade. With that, the exams are HARD. I studied and it seemed to do little. He words the tests in ways that are hard to understand, and he never lets you see what you did wrong on the exams.
I got an A but it was not easy. You must be familiar with the lectures (he posts online after class or you must attend). Print/powerpoint slides & take notes them plus read his textbook prior to the exam.Your grade is based off 4 exams worth 24% each, and 4% for the in-class personality assessments. Optional paper/extra credit. Great professor!
This class made me feel that as a person I was worthless. Unnecessarily hard. I did MUCH better on the tests that I DIDN'T study for than the ones that I did. I make almost straight A's in hard classes. Don't take this class unless you like crying yourself to sleep. Also he wrote the text book just so you know...
Dr. Lecci is an excellent professor. He is one of the most intelligent professors UNCW has to offer. Additionally, he is an excellent lecturer and logically explains things. Read your book before class, show up to class, take notes, and study. You will get an A. Takes this course!
Dr. Lecci is a very good lecturer and makes his class fun. You are only graded by 4 tests each worth 24% each and 4 personality assessments worth 4%. The tests are hard and you NEED to read the book and attend lectures to do well. He did provide an extra credit opportunity via SONA credits. Overall an amazing professor, just be ready to study!
Dr.Lecci is a fantastic professor but you are only graded on the 4 exams. As long as you study and read the textbook you'll do great, he also offers extra credit through SONA credits. Very passionate about personality psych and VERY knowledgeable. Always willing to help you outside of class, pay attention in lectures or you won't do good on exams.
Dr.Lecci is a great professor. I have learned many things from this course. Although, you should always come prepared! Read the textbook, take notes, and pay attention. The lectures are heavy, but Dr. Lecci logically explains everything. Take advantage of any extra credit as well.
I personally would not recommend Professor Lecci to anyone who has difficulty memorizing things or learning things straight from lectures. I struggled a lot on the tests because the questions are very detailed and specific. If you do end up taking him, make sure to study and pay attention to the people in particular and not just general concepts.
Best professor/teacher/mentor I've ever had. Take all the classes you can with Dr. L. Unlike some professors, he doesn't make you jump through hoops like a trained animal. He just wants you to show you absorbed the course information and can apply it to the assignments/papers. Excellent lecturer. Cares about student success. A+++ for Dr. L.
3 things: Note taking, Reading the textbook, and studying. If you are good at these things then you will do great in this class. I studied anywhere from 2 hours to 8 hours and got a 92 and a 100 respectively on those tests. He does curve around 10 points for each of the 4 tests and the class average without the curve is around a 70.
Dr. Lecci is great!! I got a B- in the class, but I learned more than I did in the classes I got A's in. The exams are 70-ish questions. Your grade is a combination of 4 exams and 4 personality assessments throughout the semester. If you do not go to class, you will not pass this class with just the PowerPoints. I learned SO much.
He is lecture heavy and you are mainly only graded on your exams. I would usually only study the morning before the exam and the lowest exam grade, I got was an 84, his questions for the most part are straight to the point and make sure to really study the research studies he mentions. He offers extra credit towards the end of the semester.
You can tell professor Lecci is super passionate & knowledgable ab psych. He always found a way to answer questions and made us think about concepts outside our usual lens. Super lecture heavy class tho, and you're only graded by tests. The tests aren't horrible if you show up to every class & take notes on what he's SAYING rather than the slides.
He is an extremely kind person, but not a good professor in my opinion. There are only a few grades for this class, all of those being exams. I feel like he makes the class harder than it needs to be. if you are not a good test taker, do not take his class.
Not a difficult class. Quizzes and Exams are based only off of slides and text book because he does not post lecture videos. Also, he doesn't use - or +!
Taught less about the overall understanding and terminology of the subject and tested more on specific studies mentioned throughout lectures during his class. Makes quiz and test content way to specific on select studies mentioned by him throughout class so if you learn better from reading/studying course books would not recommend at all.
Professor Lecci is extremely knowledgeable, but the class can be lecture-heavy and test-focused. Staying on top of readings, taking notes, and utilizing study tools like Unstuck AI can help you succeed. Overall a rewarding experience for those willing to put in the work.
I dropped this class midway through the semester, but here are my thoughts. The only assignments that contribute to your grade in that class are the 70-question exams. On top of that, Professor Lecci provides a practice test with only eight questions. During lectures, he often goes off on tangents, which makes it challenging to follow along.
Dr. Lecci is a great prof! I took PSY 352 online and it is divided up into 3 sections with 3 quizzes, 1 test, and a discussion for each section with a final paper due at the end of the semester. Overall, the assignments are not hard if you do the powerpoint and read the textbook. This is a good online class for anyone who needs the credits!
Dr. Lecci is very passionate about psychology which makes it an interesting class. It was lecture heavy but we discussed good stuff. You HAVE to study for the exams with the textbook and lecture material.
Dr. Lecci is sweet but I really had a hard time in his class because he didn't make it very clear what would be on the exams. It seems like a huge portion of all exams focus more on the research studies we talk about. I don't recommend taking him if you have trouble focusing... it's easy to get confused or lost in his lectures.
Dr. Lecci is really cool and knowledgeable. He doesn't take attendance, but you need to go to pass the tests (take notes!). Tests are difficult, and they worth your entire grade besides a couple personality assessments he assigns due at the end of the semester. He does ramble a bit, but I didn't mind it personally since it was normally applicable!
We only had 3 tests that were the majority of our grade. We had personality assessments that were easy just a little time consuming so that did help. I found it hard to focus during the lectures I wish there was more activities or something with more interaction.
Professor Lecci uis very wise, and knows what he is talking about. The class was very lecture heavy, and you needed to show up in order to understand the notes. You take 4 exams and a few personality assesments for your grade. With an optional paper if you need a grade boost. As long as you show up to class and STUDY for your exams, youll be fine.
Dr. Lecci does a great job! He is very knowledgable in his field and teaches well. The grade is composed of 4 test grades, but the tests are curved. Overall, this class was pretty interesting!
Very interesting class and passionate about what he does. If you go to class, take notes and study before tests then you'll get an A. It's not easy but really good.
Dr. Lecci is very knowledgable and passionate about what he does/teaches. HE WROTE the TEXTBOOK. Four exams and handful of personality assessments/reflection (including 1-2 page autobiography) due at end of semester. Do not procrastinate getting these done. Pay attention to lecture, take good notes, and study. He's great.
