very fun class! good teacher. uses powerpoint for notes every day. if you miss a class, just look over the vocabulary words and you will be okay.
Super easy class.
Good instructor. (Mulitcultural Psych) Gives helpful hints for people who want to be therapists. Very laid back & funny.
Great teacher. He enjoys teaching and makes you enjoy his class. The tests are simple; just over the notes and examples given in class. All PSYC majors TAKE HIM. You will gain a lot of real life knowlesge about the proffession.
Great instructor and very easy to understand. Keeps you laughing!
He is awesome! He is one of the best teachers that I have had in highschool and college. Very helpful and very funny. His class was always one of the classes that I looked forward to going to. He knows his material and makes sure you know it too. He keeps all his notes on his website which is a big help. Do not get anyone else for Pysch!
Dr. Norman is the greatest. He is very knowlegable and provide useful information that will help us in our helping profession. His passion for teaching is very evident. I found him to be very funny. I never missed his class. Did I mention he was SEXY? He is very easy on the eyes. What a way to start your day!!! He is a tough act to follow.
He keeps the class interesting. Its hard not to be amused.
Great professor.
Very good professor! Made the class fun and interesting. Laid back atmosphere, would def recommend him.
My favorite professor. The class seems easy because you are learning without realizing that you are learning because he keeps the class interesting with his examples.
Great professor, but sometimes gets too much into class discussions and strays away from the book. Overall, great teacher, but exams can be difficult if you do not read.
I took Dr. Norman for ethics. I really enjoyed his class. He's very funny and interested in the subject taught. I must admit that so far this was the only Psyc class that I absolutly loved and will miss. I enjoyed the class a great deal and understood and learned everything that was taught.
Pretty good teacher, sometimes you can forget what the story he's telling has to do with the material. But overall he's a great teacher just make sure you study his notes and the book as well
Wonderful lectures, very helpful, and extremely fun. The tests & quizzes might be a little hard, but if you study the study guide book and/or his power points, you'll do great!
Enjoyed his lecture style. Although, I did not do well in the class it was my favoriate class this semester. Be sure to read because he tells stories and examples to help with the reading.
Very good professor, one of my most interesting classes at Clayton State. Use the reviews in the book for the quizzes! I never made below a B on a test even without studying. He's funny! As somebody else said, he's easy on the eyes and over the class is super enjoyable.
he's one of the best teachers i've ever had. very enjoyable and helpful classes. don't need to use a text book much, cause he explains everything perfectly. the quizes and exams aren't very easy, but most of the questions are from the book and study guide.
Very straightforward.
amazing teacher. very understanding. willing to help students with anything they don't understand. relates very easily to students. great stories. very funny. an overall WONDERFUL teacher. get in his class! you will love it!
Great instructor; however, the discussions may be a bit too much at times. My most enjoyable class this semester. Be sure to read and attend class, if so you should do well... I didn't.
Very cool guy! Instead of just teaching a psychology class he makes it interesting and fun. He doesn't dwell on all the boring stuff. He gets it out of the way and gets on to the interesting things. His class was my funnest class ever. I rarely studied and aced the class because the things he taught were so intersting that they stuck with me.
He keeps it interesting for sure. I'm taking him again for another class just because his teaching style is great and very easy to relate too.
His class is greatttttttttttttt!!!!!!
EXCELLENT TEACHER!!!!! Makes lectures interesting, and has a good technique for teaching. Test comes from material str8 from powerpoint!I really didn't use the textbook alot, and i did fairly well in the class.Best class for me this semester!!
He has a great way of teaching and making sure that the class stays interested! Easy quizzes and test if you use your book!
He was Awesome. Very Funny and his lectures are interesting. A MUST take.
My favorite class this semester!! Dr. Norman is so captivating and HILARIOUS!!! He keeps pyschology interesting and fun! Not to mention, he's also VERY cute! =)
Very well put together class!! Very interesting, loved to go to class, my favorite. I will def find another class of his that i can attend!Also a great to look at!
WOW! This class was really fun to go to. Dr. Norman has a lot of experience in the field he is teaching so that is a big plus. The class itself is pretty easy just go over everything in the book plus those little tests and quizzes and you will do fine. I say take his class immediately you will not regret it!
Dr.Norman is not your average professor.He's easy to talk to, is always ready and willing to help where possible.He associates his lectures with different scenarios which are very helpful when it comes to remembering info for tests. If you go in expecting him to be easy, you'll be in for a big surprise.You get what you put into it. He's Great!
I got a C in his class because he makes attendance count- A LOT. Other than that, if you pay attention in class and study you'll do fine. If you didn't come to class you could still get an A, but you should or you'll end up like me...
He is so sweet! This class is very interesting. Dr. norman is well organized. There is no study guide, but if u read the power point notes you will do very good. He gives quizes occasionally. The questions are from the text book, at the end of the chapter. So make sure you cover over the chapter summary in the text book if you don't want to read th
Dr. Norman is the sexiest man I have EVER seen! He is an amazing teacher & very personable. He frequently uses examples/stories in his lectures so it makes the material so much more interesting and easy to remember. He is willing to help.He also takes daily attendance & doesn't mind boosting you up a few points if he sees effort. DEFINITELY TAKE!!!
Wonderful teacher. I took him last year and I would strongly recommend him to anyone who had to take Psyc. He made class more interested by telling real life stories to help learn things in the class. LOVED HIM!!!
Made class fun but the tests were harder than they had to be.
Tough class. There is no way we can learn all of the info that he wants us to learn.
Awesome Professor! Not to mention easy on the eyes! :)
Great professor!!! he uses real stories/examples and makes it really easy to learn the material. lots of in class discussions that are great.. easy class. i never even got bought the book and i still got a "B". Attendance isnt mandatory, but he seems to be a little more lenient with grading if u attend class regularly..... Super sexy professor.
He is very animated, and keeps you interested. Not boring at all. Tests and quizes are average.
Very interesting to say the least...
Great professor, makes the subject fun. Uses stories and other examples that help remember the information a lot. You will become very acquainted with "Little Johnny".
Dr. Norman is an amazing professor! His lectures were always extremely helpful, informative, interesting, and certainly entertaining. His impressions of "Little Johnny" never failed to have everyone laughing hysterically. Most of all, this professor really knows his stuff....... And last, but not least, he is incredibly easy on the eyes!!
Professor Norman is the best! He is very animated and you can tell that he loves teaching. I took his class over the summer and it was very easy! Take his class!
If you are good at regurgitating text then this is an easy "A". His tests and quizzes don't come from his powerpoints but from the book and the online version of it. I lost interest in the course in about two weeks. He's animate but I think he cares more about research. Even though this is an intro class; it's harder than it should be.
This is a teach yourself course. He reads off the PowerPoint slides and there isn't a study guide. His demonstrations are okay. Although, I think many of the reviews are overrated because you really don't know what to expect for the quizzes and tests. This class isn't an "easy A" and just showing up doesn't help you.
Dr. Norman is a great teacher he tells great stories that will keep you interested his test can be hard though but if you put forth an effort you will fine in this class.
Dr. Norman provides clarity with understanding he's very understanding. Also, He is funny but yet serious about his teachings. Although I did not get an A in his class he is one of the best teachers I have ever had.
Very good teacher and he knows his stuff. He is HILARIOUS and very HANDSOME. If you read you will pass with an A!! he gives you the short answers to the test so all you have to do is read!! By far the best professor on campus. There was never an empty seat in the class, that is how interesting he is. He open my eyes on a lot of things.
ANYONE HAVING TO TAKE INTRO TO PSYCHOLOGY I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! Dr. Norman is an excellent professor. He makes the class very exciting, you will look forward to it. For the most part, you won't need to read the book because his lectures & powerpoints are clear. He is willing to help. Psych major or not, after his class you will love Psychology!
Too bad he is married ;) Extremely smart and funny. He knows his stuff and he is very relateable. Please read. The readings are great and informational. Easy A!! Always willing to help
DR. NORMAN IS A WONDERFUL PROFESSOR. I DO NOT LIKE MY CLASSES BUT EVERYDAY I LOOK FORWARD TO GOING TO HIS CLASS. HIS TEST ARE EXACTLY WHAT HE LECTURES ON AND HE IS VERY FUNNY
Dr.Norman is an excellent teacher. Very clear about his expectations. Gives due dates for work assigned and sticks to the plan. Offers and promotes study groups for struggling students. Makes the class easy to relate to for all students. TAKE HIS CLASS!
Dr. Norman is a great professor. He truly is passionate about what he does and shows it in every class. You should take him for every and any psych class you may have. He makes the material easy to understand and interesting. The tests are pretty simple and throws out questions that may have been confusing. You will love him and won't regret it!
The best psych teacher ever. Once this class is over you could write his biography. He loves his family as much as he loves teaching. He is super hot and has a great smile!Easy A
I took Dr. Norman for Intro to Psych as well as Psychology of Adjustment. He is one of my favorite teachers, ever. He does a great job of explaining and giving examples. He teaches from slides, and it is not necessary to buy the book. I would DEFINITELY recommend taking his class.
Love him!!
Dr. Norman is the best teacher I have ever had. I would absolutely take more classes with him, and highly recommend him. His class is very entertaining, and he explains things so well that you actually learn something. He is great!!
He's the BEST!!!! He use real life experiences when explaining every definitionand he's helpful. He make sure you understand the chapters.Pay attention in class, EVERYTHING you learn in class will be sooo easy on quizzes and tests. love him
Dr. Norman is a great professor! He makes class interesting by relating his personal experiences to the subject. He reviews after each quiz, and occasionally holds study sessions before the tests. Class is never dull. If you are taking psychology, TAKE HIM!
The class is fun because of the example he gives but when it comes to the test, read your book. READ the chapters and UNDERSTAND it because the examples on the test are extremely different from the examples given during lecture. This class will be the only class that I would make a B in because of the examples. Disappointed.
Very Very interesting lecturer.You never leave class without laughing,BUT if you don't read the textbook and his power points,you are not passing.
This is one tough cookie. If you don't read the book, watch the PowerPoints and take notes in class you will fail. AND you must be in class -- after four absences you loose a letter grade. I should have gotten a C but because I had pneumonia I got a D...grrrrr
THE INSTRUCTOR SEEMS REALLY ENJOYING TEACHING AND IS CLEAR IN THE EXAMPLES HE USES. HIS ENTHUSIASM CREATES AN ENVIRONMENT CONVENIENT FOR LEARNING.EVERY ONE SHOULD DEFINITELY ENROLL IN HIS CLASS.
Dr Norman is the best teacher I have ever had. He makes class interesting by relating his personal experiences to the subject. He is not just a wonderful professor but also a wonderful person. He loves his family as much as he loves teaching. He is funny, smart , and handsome. LOVE HIM... too bad he is married.lol
He Keeps you very captivated if you pay attention and study you will do fine
I/O PSYCH.(HYBRID) 3 TEST GIVEN A STUDY GUIDE (GOOD ONES!)R ALWAYS GIVEN, 2 REFLECTION PAPERS GIVEN, WEEKLY ONLINE DISCUSSIONS (DON'T HAVE 2 REPLY 2 OTHER POSTS:)) IF U STUDY THE POWERPOINTS ALONE & ATTEND ALL THE CLASSES U WILL GET A B OR C OUT OF THE CLASS. THE BOOK IS NOT REALLY NECESSARY, BUT 2 GET AN "A" I WOULD GET IT. FINAL CUMULATIVE.
I LOVE MR NORMAN. He is so funny in class and really enjoys teaching. He truly wants every student in his class to succeed. As long as you memorize the power points and also write down what he says is important, and have perfect attendance, youll do great. I did not get a txtbook and I made an A. But you also have to not text or sleep in class
Dr Norman was absolutely favorite professor! i made an A on every single test because he is so clear and helpful! I would recommend him to everyone. His quizzes are very important and a lot of kids fail his class because they don't use the WEBSITE. If you have common sense there is no reason to fail. ALSO ATTENED SI
Dr. Norman made me realize that Psychology needed to be my major. Wonderful professor and a genuinely good person.
Awesome instructor
Dr. Norman is an awesome teacher. He uses stories to elaborate the subject major. So you'll hear Johnny a lot. He is passionate about his students and psychology. He made me realize how much I love psychology. He is strict with attendance and his slides are very helpful. Pay attention and attend SI sessions and you will pass!
By far my favorite teacher at csu!! I didn't like subject, but he made it interesting with his funny stories. He's a character every day there will be laughs. His quizzes are easy, half of it are same questions from practice quizzes online. Tests based on powerpoint and lecture.
Great lectures.. Favorite class of the semester, but don't come in late... He will turn you around
If you are serious about your education and psychology, his class will be a breeze. If you're only at college because your mom made you come, then you might not do so well. The study questions online are exactly the questions on the quiz. Sit close to the front and make sure he knows your name & you're guaranteed an A. His lectures are super!!
I think this might have been his first year teaching CSU1022 and it is probably one of the easiest class. During the whole semester, we only took 2 tests, one during the middle of the semester, and one as the final exam. The tests have the exact same questions as the study guide he gives you.
Professor Norman is one of the best, laid back, understanding professors at Clayton State period! He's very understanding, respectful, and he really helps you figure out your next step. He's the best ever!
I don't think he teaches PYSCH 1101 anymore but this professor is a real gem. I believe he's teaching marketing classes which doesn't matter. TAKE HIM. You will not be disappointed! Not to mention he's very easy on the eyes. He also remembers his students. I run into him from time to time on campus and he acknowledges me!! You will need the book
Professor Norman is a great teacher. He provides study guide(s) and is really specific in what is expected in the test (s). If you aim for an A then reading the textbook and hearing his lecture would help.
Prof. Norman is very good at providing examples for you to relate to. Tests are online and he will drop your lowest grade at end of term. There is no homework; only tests and finals. Requires a bit of reading and book can be found online.
There wasn't much homework to do besides reading and quizzes. The tests are pretty easy since they are similar to the quizzes. You need to use Lockdown Browser for the tests.
Took him online. Class was pretty easy. We did have to use the lockdown browser for the test. He didn't really "teach" us, more so we read the notes and listened to lectures he recorded and took our test. He responds to emails pretty quickly. Some weeks it did take him quite a while to grade our assignments. Overall, I would take him again.
I really enjoyed the courses I have taken with Dr. Norman.
I've taken multiple marketing classes with Dr. Norman, all online, and he's great. His grading criteria are clear, and assignments are simple. They're due at the end of the week and he gives good grades as long as there's some effort in answering. You teach yourself mostly, but he provides PowerPoints. Exams are multiple choice and on lockdown.
