Knows what he is talking about., if it's your major it's a great class to take.

Hard class if you're used to putting no effort into work. Nice guy, lots of knowledge. Keeps you learning.

He is extremely knowledgable and loves to talk. He, however gives opportunity to students to do some responding which is helpful. Be ready to listen carefully because he talks fast.

Great story teller, tough class but his worth the pain.

This teacher is hard and his lectures don't cover everything on the tests. Sometimes he repeats himself and sticks to few basics which doesn't cover much. You have to read your textbook and study hard to excel in this class.

His lectures wer cool! He is by far one of the best speakers I have ever encountered! But his tests are hard as hell, and I barely passed and I studied my butt off. Plus his videos are totally out of date, like 70's stuff.

if you get steady A's you dont have to take the last test or the final. Read the book and you will be fine, the tests are hard but there is a generous curve. He does not take attendence but the lectures are interesting.

hard class, well very hard. the tests are based on the textbook not inclass lectures although the lectures are extremely interesting so i would sugest attending the classes.all in all a good class and worth the work.

Easy A if you DO THE READING. Slackers need not attend. No role, I would not suggest going to class - his lectures are not testable and come from the reading. The book publisher sends the tests ... so READ the book to do well...

good teacher. intelligent, well spoken, funny, fair

Just keep up with the reading and you'll get an A. He has a sence of humor and lets you skip out on the final if your current grade at the end is an A. AND THERES AN EXTRA CREDIT OPTION!!! TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT!! IT CAN BUMP YOU UP A WHOLE LETTER GRADE!!

He gives sample tests to take home before the actual test is given. If you get an A at the end of the semester you dont have to take the final. He even gives an extra credit opportunity. Take advantage of everything, read the book, and you'll do fine

DO NOT TAKE his class if you plan on coasting through like all your other classes. Lectures really are optional. Reading, re-reading and taking the sample tests from the book AND the CD are the ONLY ways to pass his tests. TAKE THE EXTRA CREDIT!

His classes are super interesting, your never bored in class and he really doesnt take attendance. You can miss all the classes before the test and ace it, all you have to do is study the book. I recommend this class, GOOD TEACHER.

very tough teacher, but i learned alot. Teacher is very nice and personable a lot of fun to listen to his lectures. Do not take unless its your major

hes a very nice man, but don't take this class unless you seriously have time to sit down and read all the chapters for the tests! his lectures dont relate to the tests (which are fairly difficult). He doesn't take role but at least half the class dropped by the end of the semester....

His class is the hardest psych class at Mesa. You will gain a littany of knowledge. Do not take his class if you have a life. Thouroughly enjoyed the class and am now interested in being a psych major. Would take another class with him.

REALLY HARD CLASS!! Pay attention, read the book...or rather, just read the book and you'll do good! You're life/ grade is based on 4 test, do good on most of them and you'll get to drop the last one! Yah!! Anyways, be wary its an extremely HARD class!!

Take this class. For 155 this prof was personable and fun. Lots of interaction and group discussions, made it interesting. Attendance not an issue but you'll really miss out. Tests are open book but still challenging and you'll learn alot about yourself and human nature.

Crazy! Fun!

tough class, good teacher, sense of humor + intelligent man, read the book!! no roll, handbook recommended, tests multiple choice 4+final. there are a lot more things harder in life than his class. he's very good and friendly. you get what you put in.

Thought he would be a jerk at first, but he is actually very good at lectures and he is super funny!

Take this class. He is an easy teacher.He looks hella mean at first. But he's nice. Just read the book and understand it. You'll do good if you don't daydream. Just pay attention dammit! He taught me alot. This class changed my life. When I become a billionaire i'm gonna give a million.=)

Expert on what he teaches.

He's really nice, strict, but nice. He has a sense of humor and the class is a great one to take in order to delve deeper into your personality.

My favorite teacher of all time! He's exciting and informative. VERY not boring. He interjects comedy, stories, anecdotes, real world experience, and real world examples in his lectures. You have to pay attention. You have to read the book. Tests are multiple choice but you have to understand the concepts to do well. Study your ass off for those! It is not an easy class, but he is of remarkable character and you'll learn a whole lot about the field. He may even cause you to rethink you major... He's awesome

very good teacher, very interesting in his stories, tests arent that tough if you read the book and study.

very interesting guy. alot of good stories, will def. keep you laughing. ALOT of material and you HAVE HAVE HAVE to read the book, study, pay attension, and dont miss class...you will be sorry. He keeps you on your toes but is also laid back. Difficult class but one of those teachers that makes you want to learn and do good. i recommend him

Great Teacher Highly recommend taking any course he teaches. He keeps you interested and makes the class fun. He is very funny.

Experienced Professor with a lot to contribute. Tough class with much to remember so read book! Good sense of humor and lectures are interesting. Big thumbs up!

Very good professor. Lots of experience. Can achieve good grade if you are willing to do the work. Subject matter is extensive so be sure you have the time. Highly reccomend!

Great teacher if you are willing to read and review. He may come off as preachy, but it becomes part of his charms and many classes are devoted to discussions in basic life skills that make you leave the classroom thinking really hard about your own life. Tests are tough if you don't study, and do the extra-credit.

Tough class. I got an A, but it took a lot of studying. Extra credit helped a lot. Did I mention it's not an easy A?

Read the book. He is really funny. Use the study guide that comes with the book, test questions are similar to the study guide.

very nice guy. he seems mean at first but he's really chill. his lectures get boring sometimes but overall,it's an easy A. no homework, only tests. if u only show up on test days u can still get an A in the class.

everyone who says this class is hard is just lazy, he doesnt take attendence but his lectures are entertaining, their not directly out of the book but he elaborates on whats in the book and assumes ur reading instead of just relying on his lecture. Get the book with the extra practice tests, they make the tests a walk in the park. awesome class

I disagree with everyone elses comments. Elloie rocks! I never even opened the text, I just paid attention in class

THIS TEACHER CHANGED MY STUDYING HABITS. YOU CAN LEARN A LOT IF YOU JUST PAY ATTENTION AND READ THE BOOK. I NEVER DID MAJOR STUDYING, BUT HIS LECTURES ON MEMORY TAUGHT ME HOW TO MANIPULATE MY OWN MEMORY- WHICH HELPS WITH STUDYING. AFTER HIS CLAS I CHANGED MY MAJOR TO PSYCH. HE IS REALLY CHILL AND HELPFUL IF YOU GIVE HIM A CHANCE.

Highly motivating professor. he totally cracked me up during his lectures, although they usually aren't in the tests, he tells you up front that you must read the text! thats all that is on the tests! he teaches you good study habits and gives you the tools to be successful, not only in this class but in all classes! i would recommend taking him!

Great Professor. Just read the book and pay attention, and a decent grade should be within reach. Not the easiest class, however, he'll at least make it interesting.

He is a good teacher, at times he is sarcastic , but don't take his jokes too personal, he is just funny, and the class is not boring, it's interesting and educational.

Mr. Elloie is a funny techer, but his lectures don't have anything to do with the tests although they're interesting, and he's very understanding

EXCELLENT TEACHER! the best ever! even helped me with research for another class!!! totally funny and informative. Tests are hard but study the book and with the hefty curve you should get an A. Lectures are interesting but a very small amount is on thests. A+A+A+ TEACHER!!!

The best teacher ever. He is everything you want in a teacher very helpful. He covers the text and alot more. You should read the book and you will do better on the test. His tips on the amount of time you should read well studing, is making my life so much easier.

He has the BEST lectures I have ever experienced time really flies in his class. ALthough, they have nothing to do with the tests usually. Your grade is completely on your tests but as long as you read the book and comprehend you the tests should be a breeze. He will teach a lot about humans and life. Great teacher highly recommend.

This teacher is awesome, he is hilarious and will definitely keep your attention during class. His lectures are useful for the test if you pay attention, but you definitely have to read the book before the test to pass!!!!! He's awesome!! Definitely take him!!!

He is a very enjoyable and fun guy to listen to. If you pay attention to his lectures they will blow your mind. You NEED to study the book though because he wont cover nearly enough in the lectures. Nice guy.

The course was really easy, I made the mistake of being lazy and putting it in as my fifth wheel though so I only scored a B. Tests were curved and the final was optional. Good professor, though you need to do most of the studying yourself or with your "study group". Of course, what class doesn't require any study? Not any good ones!

He is a great teacher and he helped me a lot and at the end i thought i might fail but he helped me, he has open book for the last 15 minutes and final test is optional is that not great, all you people who say he needs to retire, that's not true you need to study more and stop being lazy, if you have gotten an "A", congratulations,but don't be mea

great teacher. His lectures are very fascinating, but dont always have anything to do directly with what is on the test. YOU have to read the textbook to do well. He curves all his test and has some extra credit. Very fun and nice guy, and was the only class i actually liked going to. Use your study guide!

don't be lazy and read your book! and you'll pass. the test reflects material straight from the book.

He was a great teacher. His lectures expanded on the source material, but all of the tests come directly from the writers of the textbook. He made the class enjoyable, and I'm glad I took it with him and not somebody else.

He really knows his stuff, but you have to be able to sit and listen and take notes and do the work at times he is monotone and seems intimidating but hes really not hes a very nice guy and a REALLY GOOD professor but dont slide in thinking youre gonna get an A and do no work... wont happen... Id reccomend him yea... :)

Nice prof Tough prof Wants students to learn You need to be dedicated to succeed

I had alot of fun in his class even though I ended up having too much fun and a bad grade in the end it was my fault for not studying as much as I should have.

I took his class last year. He is a very good professor. His tests are challenging which is a relief people, im tired of these teachers that basically hand out A's you have to earn it. I felt he was very interesting. Just read the assigned chapters and if you are intelligent that should be enough to get an A I Sure did.

Professor Elloie is very boring and dry but also very nice. He only covers a tiny part of each chapter and tests are very detailed so read carefully. You mostly watch videos every class but he offers LOTS of extra credit. If you do all the extra credit opportunities and pass each test you will do fine in the class. The final is also optional

Kind of stunned at some of the reviews. The professor I had was engaging and extremely laid back (in a good way). Your grade is up to you. At the end of the semester,I had already earned an A but I made the time to type up an extra credit paper for him because I had already said I would, and I respected him that much.

He is a difficult teacher, but it's completely relevant to the topic. His class activitis are interactive, fun, and help learn the material. You have to put in the time and effort to learn the material, but you'll do just that.

Professor Elloie, was my teacher and academic advisor while at Mesa College. He is the reason I became a Developmental Psychologist, he made me want more academically by challenging me to do more. He made psychology interesting and the pursuit of higher education meaningful and purposeful. Definitely a scholar amongst men.

Very helpful and made me like the subject but then I think his interest/involvement fell. Lectures got more on tangents and more videos were pulled out toward the end. Read the book and know the key terms and concepts and you'll be okay. Got an A

Fantastic teacher! He's really great to listen, he has all kinds of stories. He's performed various psychology experiments, and he really helps you to understand the core concepts. Great teacher, definitely take his class.

If you are expecting to learn from the lectures then you are wrong, to get an A you will have to read the textbook and study. His class is great, though, he makes the class fun and tells us stories relevant to the discussion, also gives a lot of extra credit assignments. Recommend if you are good at learning by yourself.

Hilarious stories and inspires whole class to be open minded. This was my favorite class. You will feel like classmates are all one big family. Talks about interesting things but unfortunately little to do with exams. Exam questions very detailed questions from the book. Very difficult. No study guide. Kinda lazy and always right but super nice

you will NEED the textbook he doesn't give legit notes! the exams are hard so think twice before you take the class! you will also get some extra credit very interesting class good luck

Amazing teacher. For those of you interested in floating by and getting an A, look elsewhere. But for those of you who love learning, this is the teacher for you. He is absolutely brilliant, has all sorts of stories, and just teaches an incredible amount of information. Easily my favourite teacher on campus.

Lots of potential for extra credit... Tests pretty much straight from textbook so read the chapters/notes in class and you're good. He is very dedicated to his discipline, gives tips that help.

Professor Elloie is a solid professor. Everything on the test is straight from the book, there are online study guides and some practice tests to help. If you are unable to sit and read then the exams will be miserable for you. You will learn plenty interesting things. Don't take if you are looking for an easy A. Eventually he stops taking roll.

One of the best teachers I have ever had. His class is not the easiest but it is insightful and worth every page you have to read. Organized and a great teacher.

I loved this class. Sure he just lectured (my preferred way of learning) which doesn't work for lots of people but he is a great professor. Helped me to decide to continue my studies in Psych. Also if you have a good grade in the class you don't have to take the final!

Amazing professor! Loved all his lectures :)

Very wise. Love his lectures. I always enjoy taking classes from professors that are truly passionate about their career and really care about making a difference in the world. Fun class. He's a great teacher, but the tests are hella hard.

He is a pretty old fashioned guy, and is very knowledgeable about what he teaches. His class is very tough if you're not willing to put in the time to read the textbook. He has a pretty weird sense of humor but you will enjoy his class and will learn a lot. He says he takes attendance but I think he only does it occasionally.

Grades you only on tests, HW is not required. Can make it through & pass without reading, but Easy A if you read and show up to class. I didn't read, so I got a B. Offers one extra credit assignment. (can make difference) Funny. Doesn't care for technology. Old school, and opinionated. Goes into depth about topics if you ask questions.

Pros Passionate lectures. Consistent jokes and efforts made to maintain attention Plethora of knowledge and experience earned over years worked in the field. Well dressed, well spoke , and composed, earning respect. Cons Will scream in class(random loud noises if someone isnt paying attention, all must pay) Would absolutely take again

This professor is the reason I decided to declare my major as psychology. He is extremely intelligent and wise and often makes jokes to make the class more interesting. Make sure to pay attention as he will call you out and READ. THE. TEXTBOOK. Many times. You will not likely pass if you do not. Great professor overall.

Best professor ever. He'd make lectures super interesting and interactive. He is super professional, fun, and his class was super enjoyable. If you like reading as your only homework then I recommend this class for you. This class influenced me in what I would major in. If I could take this class again I would.

Amazing Professor! Only thing graded are the tests+extra credit opportunities. The lectures were good but the test are straight from the text book. SO READ THE TEXTBOOK.

The professor is dedicated and lectures are helpful, but tests are mainly based on the textbook. Using Unstuck AI alongside the readings can make studying a breeze. Attendance is mandatory, so come prepared.
