Needs to speak English. The End.

He is the worst teacher ever. I never thought psych could be so hard and boring

I could sleep through this class and not miss a thing

This is a self - learn class. Prof. Lou is hard to understand.

English helps when teaching in AMERICA!!!!

This teacher should be fired. I learned nothing from him. Plan on reading the book a lot because you can't understand anything he says and the things that he does has nothing to do with anything that is on the tests or even psych.

Difficult to understand -- his accent AND how he explains things, very boring, grades hard, test wording is hard to understand. I would say read the book and skip the class, but he gives surprise quizzes once a week! Plan on struggling with this one!

I'm in is class right now. I hate this. I'm dropping. He's terrible. Never take his classes.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS OR ANY CLASS WITH THIS PROF!! 'nuff said...

ONE WORD-AWFUL! Do not take this class even if it is the only one left to get into! He's not worth it! His tests are harder than heck, you can't understand anything he says, he's boring as ever, plan on getting a bad grade if you take him!

I don't understand him and he doesn't understand me! End of story.

You can't hear him unless you sit in the front row. He sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's completely boring. If you're in, get out now!!

Seriously, JUST DON'T DO THIS TO YOURSELF!! He is very hard to listen to, he cannot make a concept seem understandable for anything, and he grades tough. Lou makes everything so technical you'll feel overwhelmed and want to scream!

I have never studied so much for a class! He does not explain things well and his tests are VERY hard. He expects a lot out of his students. The material for this class is not easy and he certianly does not make it any easier. Plan on teaching yourself.

ummm ummmm what is he saying?

Worst class, worst professor! I don't know how many times I emailed him this semester to never get a response. I went to his office hours and he said he didn't have time to help, and did not offer to reschedule. Try to understand him... I dare you!

Do not take him, worst professor you will ever have. He does not seem to know what he is trying to teach and it does not help that you can't understand a word he says. Hard tests with material that he does not cover in class and is also not in the book.

unbelievable, such bs. im going to fail this class. he makes no sense. doesnt help . cant understand him. he just rambles on and on about nothing. and makes fun of students in class. no one shows up. cause he doesnt teach.

Cannot understand a word he says. The book is unbearable to read. There is no way to prepare for his tests b/c YOU DONT KNOW WHAT HE JUST SAID The class sucked overall too, don't take it if you can avoid it

HORRIBLE!! hates when you ask questions. cant understand him and he cannot teach. everyone is failing. dont take him

I would not take him again if my life depended on it. Worst prof. there is.

Communication skills are terrible. You can't understand one word that comes out of his mouth, and he is completley out of touch with anyone in his class, and he has extremely minimal control over the classroom. Professor Lou lacks professionalism.

Terrible!! The worst I have had!

Very hard to understand. Material was hard and he made it more confusing. He was terribly unorganized and boring. Avoid him if possible.

Do not take this Prof! Unclear and cannot understand him (foreign). Does not give back assignments/exams and takes forever to grade. Laughs at students. Clearly uncomfortable with teaching. Will bore you to death!!!

This class was the biggest waste of my time! He is very hard to understand both while teaching, and when you read his questions on a test! He has an awful laugh that just drives everyone insane. Don't even ask him to explain anything you don't understand, becuase he simply can't.

There is no way that this guy could have made it through any interview process. He can barely speak english, and he has ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OF HIS CLASSROOM. IF Grand Valley wants to accell in the classroom in psychology, he needs to find another job. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO

He is the most incredibly AWFUL professor that I have ever had.You can't understand a single word he says.He is extremely boring,unclear,and unhelpful.When HE loses your assingments his only response is for you to redo it.He can not speak or wirte in clear english,not even on an exam.AVOID HIM!!

don't take this class if your a girl! he hates girls.

He's not that bad of a prof!Yes has a very strong accent that is hard to understand and is kinda shy in front of the class. BUT he almost always announces when an assignment will be due on bb and gives GREAT study guides for exams. I only went to class to turn in papers and I still got an A!

I studied my butt of for this class and I only ended up getting a B. He makes everything so hard because of his strong accent. A lot of his questions on his test seemed to come from no where. The questions were crazy and a lot of them were about things he said. He is shy infront of the class.

I hate to be mean, but really-the worst class I have taken yet. NEVER try taking the 3 hour night class, you will die. Prof is very unclear and is rough on grading big assignments, which sucks when you really need the points because tests arent easy when you cant understand the lecture...DONT TAKE

Don't take this class!! Seriously. I feel sorry for him because he is really interested in what he is talking about but it's the worst three hours of my life. Everyone would walk out of his class and he couldn't figure out why. He sucks! He assigns assinments on blackboard without telling you!

Yeah, I usually don't hate many teachers. But since day 1 I haven't paid attention in class. It's hard and I don't understand what the heck he's talking about whenever I do listen. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!! I feel bad for him 'cause everybody openly makes fun of him but he almost brings it on himself.

For one, this is a lecture. A lecture with a man who hardly speaks English is ridiculous. If you get him, have fun trying to understand him. His tests are horrible, and he's too stubborn to adjust his teaching style. His help via email is pointless as well. And don't even think about office hours, they're worthless with him.

this prof is terrible! DON'T TAKE HIM! You can go to every lecture and still do bad on the tests. they are hard and his BB notes are more of an outline and half of the stuff isnt even on the exams. You can't add to his notes because of his poor english. He likes to argue with people and thinks he knows everything. Don't disagree with him.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HIM TO MY WORST ENEMY! HE IS HORRIBLE AND U CAN'T UNDERSTAND HIM!

BAD TEACHER, VERY UNCLEAR!! He posts the notes for class right before class so you have to wait to get them and he forgets to mention when you have assignments due. Also his answer to everything is READ THE BOOK even if thats what you have a question on.

Sadly he's still teaching. Brillant man, no doubt about that, but there's also no doubt about the fact that he is not an effective professor. WAY too much work for a 300 level class. Do everything you can to avoid him.

I needed this as a requirement so I took. Prof Lou is a nice guy, and he really tries hard to make his lectures interesting, however, if you are looking for a lively, interactive class, this Prof is probably not for you. It is nearly impossible to communicate with him one on one. The topic is very dry. If you have a choice, I would go elsewhere

Lou has a habit of posting the power point slides he expects you to have for notes, about 20 minutes before class starts. So if you have a class right before his you don't have time to get them. He does not return hmwk before tests and the tests are hard because they don't seem to be related to what we talked about in class. Too much reading.

His class is very boring, and you can barely understand him. His lectures did not help you at all- you need to go through and reteach yourself.

He reads off of his powerpoints, which are not clear to begin with. Not helpful

Has broken english, which makes it hard to understand. not very helpful and very confusing. Tests are hard. I felt that I taught myself this class! GET OUT if you get him!

He doesn't speak English well which makes him extremely hard to understand. He speaks in monotone and very quietly so his lectures have no purpose. The language barrier is definitely an issue because he often uses the wrong words for things. Ex. influence vs. inference

His English is very very poor!! poor enough to where i got a C when i would have got an A with any other teacher. Switch if u can

Very hard to understand. He doesn't care if his students do well or not. His Lectures are worthless since he speaks such poor english. Your grade is based on tests, which sometime go off of the review sheets and other times are just questions that he feels like asking. Very hard Prof, would not take him again!

WORST TEACHER EVER!!!!!!! Hard to understand. He didn't not read the articles that he assigned for the students to discuss in class. Was not clear on what his requirements were and change his requirements about every week. He makes no sense and should not be teaching. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!

Boring...and doesn't add assignments to black board like he should...laziness

Do not take perception at GVSU. I know that psy students have to pick cognition or perception and I believe that Prof Lou is the only one that teaches it. Extremely boring and quiet and cannot understand him. IF you have questions, you can email him but he never gets back to you. I had to write a grevance against him. Don't do it!!

STEER CLEAR of this professor. He speaks with a very strong accent and is soft spoken on top of that. I didn't understand what I learned after I left the class. His exams are unfair and the questions have multiple meanings. He does not respond to e-mail at all. I put many hours into studying each week and got a D+! AVOID TAKING HIM!

Worst Professor EVER! Do not take any of his classes!

He mumbles nonsense and doesn't teach from the text book. DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASSES OF HIS.

Stay away from this professor. He mumbles and rambles. He puts the powerpoints online so its pointless to go to class. He was not helpful at all. When he talked about the notes he would ramble on about things that were not relevant at all to what we were trying to learn. you cant understand what he is saying and many students lost interest easily.

I loved psychology until I took his class, if u r majoring in psychology don't take his class because u might change majors

Sometimes it seemed he was reading his power points for the first time. I thought this class would be interesting but he turned my view point around. He mumbles and sometimes is unable to answer questions asked during class. If you can, get another teacher for this class

My god avoid this prof. Cannot understand him. Reads directly from the powerpoints and will often Ramble on and on about irrelevant points. I don't think he even tries to be a good teacher which is what bothers me the most.

Mumbles. Of no help. No discussion. Voice is really soft so even if he speaks clearly, he will put you to sleep. Notes during class are useless because he skips through slides and at one point only lectured on 2 slides in 50 mins because he likes to go off on a tangent.

Hardest class I've had at GV! His quiet, monotone voice make you want to fall asleep and is not worth going to class to hear. He rambles the whole time and power points were not helpful whatsoever! I do suggest that if you do take the class, pay attention to the videos he shows!!! He is not helpful and doesn't email you back ever!

Very hard to understand. His thought process is very different from anyone I have ever met making it hard to follow. He is very mono toned making it very boring and hard to stay awake.

He is one of the worst professors I have ever had. Not only is he boring, hard to follow, prone to tangents, and inconsistent, he is RUDE! Not helpful at all. Patronizing and not empathetic whatsoever. I got very sick and couldn't take a test. I emailed him to find a day for a makeup, and he wouldn't let me take it bc i worked! DO NOT PICK HIM!!!

This professor is just awful. Very quiet and monotone with an accent that makes it impossible to understand what he's talking about. In addition, he's very unfair to students that miss even a day of his lectures. He also tends to go off on random tangents and sometimes even forgets what he was talking about. I'm not sure how he was even hired.

I think the foundation of his problems as a professor stem from him knowing English as a second language. He has a thick accent and can't pronounce most words correctly. His slides are inconsistent and he cares so little about teaching that he sometimes teaches the same four slides two days in a row or skips several slides. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HIM.

Unclear in lecture and condescending when you ask questions or seek help. The actual work isn't very hard, but I'd prefer to be able to understand it than having to memorizeb things from lectures.

Tests are exact from the lecture notes which he posts online. So basically going to class is pointless and you won't want too because he cannot speak English. He is very confusing and contradicts himself. He is the smartest man ever but just doesn't know how to say it in English. If you study well then you can get an A no problem.

This is the worst professor I have ever come across. He lectures all class every class and he uses incorrect english grammar all the time. He is very unhelpful and rude when you try to ask him a question. He doesn't teach anything that is on his tests either, you have to teach yourself the information from the book. Do no take this professor!

I would definitely not recommend this professor!! He never spoke clearly and his lectures were pretty much useless. I struggled a little in this class because I basically had to teach myself. Definitely read the book if you insist on having him.

This teacher was extremely hard to understand, and taught in an incoherent manner. You never knew what was going to be on the tests. Assignment guidelines and expectations were horrendously unclear, and upon bringing this to his attention, there was no action of remedy.

Literally the worst prof I've ever had. I thought everyone was being dramatic, but he's the worst. He's rude when you ask him questions outside of class and isn't a fair grader. He's hard to understand and unclear. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

The only reason to go to lecture is the occasional in-class assignment. He rambles and talks in circles, making him very hard to understand. Not that it matters because almost nothing he lectures on is tested. This year he switched the textbook to a more technical, ophthalmologist, textbook making it harder to understand that as well.

He talks in circles and is not clear about anything. He is also rude when you ask questions and is not available to meet outside of class. The book is hard to understand as well.

Talks in circles. Very unclear. Rude and unhelpful when students ask questions. No real answers for anything. Reads straight from his powerpoints but still has no idea/gets lost on what he is talking about. You need to teach yourself because he does not help.

Dr. Lou is not clear with his expectations. He lectures from the powerpoints and he is hard to understand. He hardly ever gives clarity and doesn't answer questions when asked. By far the worst class I've taken at GV. Don't take Dr. Lou if you can help it.

Easily one of the worst professors I've ever had. Never responds to emails, never gave any useful feedback, takes forever to grade assignments, boring and unengaging discussions and lectures. Had him for both PSY361 and PSY492 and both classes complained about him all the time. Do yourself a favor and avoid taking any class that he teaches.

He waited 8 weeks to grade any of my homework and gave me all 0s because they were turned-in in the wrong format and then proceeded to not let me return them in or do anything for credit.

He waited till last minute to grade everything. did not answer email. all 3 tests we had were messed up and he did not fix it until day before grades were due. He was very difficult. For an online class, ridiculous and i cannot believe somehow that was the class i was most worried for. If there was a 0 option i would choose it.
