He truly cares about the success of his students. He tells you exactly what will be on his "little quizzes". They are a "piece of cake". There are four midterms and one final. Each of them are worth about 20%. It's an easy class, take this class with him if you can. However, you DO have to study to do well on his tests. I learned this the hard way.

I took both psych 104 and psych 105 with Mahmoud Adas and he is the easiest psych prof ever. Attend lectures and you won't have to read the textbook. It is impossible to do bad in his class. He pretty much tells you what will show up on the exam, so write down everything he says. BEST PROF EVER!!!!

Great caring prof. Attendance is mandatory as it is not powerpoint driven. He tells you exactly what will be on the test. If he lists 6 concepts and tells you to focus on 2, it means that those 2 will be the answers to the questions he will put. Would take again.

Very nice teacher and inspirational. His tests are mostly based off the textbook so if you get a good reading session in, expect to get good grades. He doesn't supply notes or post anything on blackboard at all (expect for the course outline). A very jolly guy at the end of the day.

Attendance is very important if you want an easy A because you only need to study whatever he writes on the board or asks you to read about. Gave us 40 MC question tests for all midterms and the final. If you're not paying attention in class he will call you out in front of everyone, so try to avoid your phone.

Dr Adas was a great grandfatherly professor. He really cares that all of his students succeed through his constant encouraging demeanor. The textbook for the most part was not necessary his notes were ample enough and he drops hints along the way. An A is easily achievable. Test were MC so not a big stressor. His weakness is that he rambles on.

His tests were very easy, but his lectures were awful. He is hard to understand because he mumbles and repeats himself so much that it takes him five minutes to say one sentence. It's easy to get a good grade but if you want to go into psychology you won't learn anything because he doesn't go in depth into the material.

Before you write the test he will allow the class to choose between 5-10 questions to go over and he will give you the answer.
