You can have 12pts of extra credit for every test. Listen to lectures (when he repeats something multiple times write it/highlight in the power points) he gives you them. TAKE notes on those. Study those and you WILL pass. EASY A if you go to class, listen to his lectures, and DO THE EXTRA CREDIT. It got me an A in the class instead of a B.

He is one of those teachers that gives off the "hardass" personality and he is but its only because he really cares about you and your education. Lectures are full of information and entertaining, make sure you are paying attention to the words he brings attention to. He gives a print out of the notes so make sure to always have them with you!

Prof Abbott is the best college professor I have ever had. Be on time and sign in when you get to class. He expects no one to be on their phones. If you listen in class, you will learn so much from him. No textbook, he prints off PowerPoints for you. No homework or final exam. No tests, he calls them evaluated experiences. Super easy to pass.

Really great professor! Just make sure you sign in and stay off your phone and you'll be fine. He gives extra credit for every test and will tell you during lectures what exactly will be on the tests. There's no final exam but there is a reflective essay. But he gives you everything you need to make an A!

Dr. Abbott was one of the best professors I have had. As a student who only takes classes as Weatherford College over the Summer, Dr. Abbott was such a delight! From extra credit assignments for each test, to giving detailed and personalized feedback on every assignment, you will not regret taking him for PSY2301! Highly recommended.

His class was really fun! attendance is a must! If you don't show up, he won't give you extra credit. he's very picky about how you submit your extra credit so follow instructions! The only thing he grades is homework and attendance, no homework. passing his class is easy as long as you go to class and take notes.

He's a really cool guy! Super chill, pretty funny, the ONLY thing he is strict on is 2 things: Show up to class, and correctly submitting extra credit. You showing up to class is so important, he tells you stuff in lecture and puts it on the test but not on the slides, he also takes attendance for a grade.

This professor was amazing. However, I did take him online so it was much easier. None of the test were proctored and the only difficult part was a 3 page paper at the end. Even the rubric on that was very easy. We had to do one discussion post each week which was also not difficult at all and normally took me 10 minutes. This is the easiest class!
