Excellent teacher! Really knows his stuff and is very helpful. He makes sure everyone understands before he moves on. None of us got left behind. I highly recommend him.
Professor Brewer not only knows his stuff but he made learning the information fun and interesting. Overall this class was a great experience!
Great teacher! He makes learning enjoyable and you do not want to miss a class because of the environment he creates.There is no risk of boredom or dread! If you want to learn and love your class time I would highly recommend him!
This teacher is a great psychologist. He makes the class time fun which makes you not want to miss any class. Over all, every weekend, I always coundnt wait to go back to class.
He's a pretty cool teacher. Even though he likes to joke around a lot, it makes the class easier for the students and I actually looked forward going to his class in the quarter.
Professor Brewer is an inspirational teacher; he plans a comprehensive curriculum weekly, and shares many resources for completing each task; I suggest you use them all. Your success is determined by what YOU put into it, so why not make it a fun and positive experience.
Professor Brewer is a great teacher! I really appreciated the fact that he always sponed to e-mails promptly. He made psych easier to understand and always had a positive, happy attitude. I wish he was teaching psych 200! I will miss his class.
One of the best around. Very helpful. Not afraid to break the fourth wall which he does regularly. Fun but not easy sure did learn alot from him. Totally a great teacher.
Professor Brewer is an understanding and helpful teacher. He makes the boring parts of psychology very intersting,
Professor Bewer is a good teacher, explains everything clearly and will take time to answer questions. He tells you straight out what you need to do in his class to succeed and you will enjoy the class.
He is a great teacher, this was my first college class and he made the experience a lot better than I was hoping for. He is very clear, and very helpful with any questions.
Fun Class
This is the best class I've ever taken! It's not an easy class by any means, but Professor Brewer makes the class so fun and easy to understand. He goes out of his way to help and gives a lot of opportunities! Such an amazing teacher! If I could take him for every class I would! Plus he gives lots of extra chances! HIGHLY recommend!
Great class! learned a lot of interesting stuff- teacher was super clear and easy to comprehend as far as lectures!
I must say this was not an easy class for me. You need to take a daily quiz, you will have a chapter quiz on each week. This is an intensive reading class. If you are good at reading and memorizing stuff, you can get a good grade easily!
This is a really good teacher and an interesting class. Can be easy to you if you read and study! Recommend
very good teacher,i recommend this class to anyone who is taking psych 100. He is very helpful
Its an intense class, more independent reading and the quizzes are simple but don't underestimate it. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS! I'm telling you, its a lot of information that can be overwhelming if you don't understand and read. If you're consistent, its a likely you'll pass with a B or higher. But don't fall behind in this class, or it wont be pretty.
This course is very reading intensive, and if you do decide to take it,then the best of luck to you. Brewer is one heck of a teacher. Attendance is mandatory,and trust me you want to show up, he knows his stuff, and plus, he is very humorous which makes the course very entertaining.
This class is very interesting and fun! You must keep up on the readings and lectures unless you want to fall behind. Overall an enjoyable class that will definitely challenge you.
You can always tell how good a teacher is by how interested they are in their subject. Mark knows a lot about psychology and he is excited to help his students understand the content. This class requires a lot of reading and it would be very easy to fall behind if you do not stay focused. Luckily, he is eager to help if you do not understand.
This professor was really helpful when it came to getting what we should do in class! When ever there was a problem he was able to fix it very well and quickly.
Be sure to keep up with the reading, and study the practice questions.
Great professor!! Lots of reading involved. Make sure you stay up on it and ask questions if needed. Professor Brewer is more than willing to help you succeed. Would take him again for sure!!
It was very organized which made it easy to know what was expected of me. I liked how I could track my grades and my progress and if I had any questions a response back from the teacher was very quick. I could tell he was enthusiastic about teaching psychology which in turn made me more enthusiastic in learning it.
I enjoyed this class and thought the teacher did a good job moderating it. He was quick to respond and gave feedback as needed. It is an easy DIY course. The activities and posts really help you to retain the information. Above average Psychology class!
Reading your text book is a must! Mr. Brewer is very helpful and responds back to your emails very quickly. The course is a lot of work, but we are in college, so manage your time and you will past this class. I highly recommend taking this class with him online.
This was a great class! The class was very well organized and Professor Brewer is top notch. He was quick to answer any questions I had. He was also quick to grade work and gave excellent feedback!
He was very helpful when it came to answering questions. and his assignments were useful in helping to understand the course. The course was challenging without causing too much stress.
The class was very effective in making sure I learned the material. This was my first quarter doing online and this class was the most successful online course I took. Thank you for a positive online course experience!
This professor has become one of my favorites! I learned so much and he was so helpful through out the course. So thankful I took this class with him!
As long as you sort of read the chapters you should be able to pass this class. To be honest, I didnt really read much, and Im still passing, the quizes affect your grade though, so you need to study for them
READ. READ. READ. NOTES. NOTES. NOTES. STUDY. STUDY. STUDY. As long as you can understand concepts and remember vocabulary you will be great. Read everything. All the things n the side, the chapter reviews, if I didn't do this I know I would of done worse. I remember questions specifically because of pictures. Read, take notes, and study.
This class requires quite a bit of reading, but Professor Brewer is very clear and the class is very organized. He is quick with his responses and grading assignments.
Fun class easy teacher very clearly with instructions. I recommend taking brewers class online or in class funny teacher.
If you put the work you get the grade. You have check the modules all the time
Thorough class overall. Teacher is willing to help out at any costs. Reading the textbook is highly recommended. If you read the textbook you will receive a good grade.
Great class, fun and helpful professor. Assignments were broken up during the week which made it easy to stay on track. Reading the textbook is a must. Will be looking for additional Psych classes with Brewer. Highly recommend this online class!
Professor Brewer is engaging and does a wonderful job of keeping his lectures interesting. His use of the online class website in conjunction with his teaching in the classroom made him extremely accessible if we had any concerns or questions. All around he is a really good teacher!
Stay consistent with the reading while taking notes and this class would be painless. The Professor is very approachable and makes the class much more interesting!
A very informative class with lots of reading and a Professor who really cares about his students and their success. You will need to do your part in this class and show up daily and OMG do the reading plus studying. Know the information and do the Reading Before Class each day and you will be rewarded for your efforts.
This class is challenging. It requires reading and studying for the frequent quizzes. Overall a great class with a very fun teacher.
The book is definitely needed. If you take the class online you have an assignment every week day. It's really not a hard class. If you really want to learn read the book. I'm not going to say it's impossible to google this stuff because it is but, this class is very interesting and I learned a lot. Do your assignments and you'll pass easily.
This was a very meaningful class and learned a lot. Wonderful teacher and willing to work with you. You do a lot of reading and typing since online. He does give you examples of the work that is expected. The only thing I had a little trouble with timed quizzes 20 minutes 20 questions every week.
Great class. Learned quite a bit- however prepare to do a lot of work and a lot of reading. Make sure to get the book too. You'll have an assignment every day- but they're not too hard; make sure you have at least an hour or so to devote to this class every weekday.
professor brewer entertains the whole class with his stories and made the class a fun challenge
Mr. Brewer was cool and helpful when I needed it. He kept a consistent schedule of work each week which made planning for the class much easier than many classes.
This class isn't that bad if you can devote yourself to read the chapters and do some studying. The chapters quizzes take reading but they aren't a big part of the overall grade. The important things are being prepared for class check ups and the midterm and final. I really liked this class and brewer makes it really fun.
If you do the work, then this class is easy. You learn a lot of information, with minimal busy work. I would definitely recommend this class!
Great teacher and great course! I learned so much!
Compared to some of the online instructors I've had Mr. Brewer interacted with his students a lot and encouraged us to come to him with any questions or concerns. His feedback was very helpful. Overall it was a great online class. I hope i can get him again for psych 200!
Professor Brewer was an awesome teacher! I really enjoyed his class and the way he taught.
Very interesting class. I enjoyed learning the subject matter and Professor Brewer was a funny guy!
This class was so interesting with so many different topics discussed. Mr. Brewer was always easy to contact and helpful with anything. I wish I could have had him in the classroom. You will have an assignment due everyday and most of these deal with the text book, but don't let that keep you from taking this awesome class.
Great class, it was presented in a way that was engaging and interesting. A class I actually read the whole text book for.
I highly recommend Mr. Brewer! He's very helpful with the online course, responds quickly to messages, and grades fairly. AND he's pretty funny which is always plus.
Professor Brewer was great! He was extremely helpful; you can really tell he loves what he does! If I had to take another Psych class, I would definitely take one of his!
Professor Brewer is awesome!
Great teacher! Loves what he does and makes every effort to be available to answer questions and concerns. Would take another class taught by Professor Brewer!
Mr. Brewer is the best teacher I have ever had! You will not regret this class! As long as you do your work and pay attention you should pass with flying colors! He is easy to work with even though he is an online teacher. I wish I could take his class again.
Great experience for my first online course. Really learned a lot.
His expectations are clear. If you put in the work (there's a lot, but it's easily manageable!), you get a good grade. He is always quick to respond and will help out if necessary. Definitely worth taking his class, I'd want to take another class of his!
Professor Brewer was so awesome! He makes the information interesting,while keeping the class fun. If you do the work you can make a good grade. I would definitely take him again for another class.
Professor Brewer has very clear expectations for this course and if you meet those expectations, you can earn a good grade. He's very helpful if there are questions and he keeps the material interesting. I'd gladly take another course with Professor Brewer.
I really enjoyed this class! Professor Brewer was great. You can tell he loves his job and the subject he teaches. There is a lot of reading involved at a fast pace, which can get overwhelming, but overall it's a very interesting, entertaining class!
Amazing teacher!! Has a lot of funny stories about his family and his emerging adulthood :) Worth taking him as a teacher. Uses the book the entire time, so it's a lot of reading (the whole book) & don't miss class!! & Unlike some teachers, he responds to your emails fairly quickly
There was a lot of reading. I basically failed every test but did all the work so I got a B+ which is impressive. I wasn't good at tests but participated in everything else and was able to get a good grade in the end. Professor Brewer is very clear as to what he wants and when it is due. I loved having him for Psych 101!
Professer Brewer was pretty great he was very responsive any time you have questions. He is very clear with what is expected of him and the layout of the course was great.
Professor Brewer is a great teacher! Although the course was tough, he was very attentive when help is needed. His expectations are clear, he is quick in responding, and he is very fair. Be expecting to make good use of your textbook, and be sure to study if you want a for a good grade. There is a lot of reading!
Awesome teacher! His expectations are very clear. He is quick to respond and very helpful. He posts video at the beginning of each week that tells what the class should work on (some videos contain EC so watch them!) And he will send a personal message/video if personally you bomb something. Test can be hard but they are open book.
Great instructor, everything is based of the chapters assigned to read. The tests are multiple choice. I cant really see a way to actually study for the test besides maybe knowing every single word in the chapter. Overall its a great average class.
First few weeks I struggled with this class. I felt professor brewer wasn't helpful enough. I then realized you just have to put enough time in. I recommend this class but just know you will be reading ALOT and you NEED to attend class or you won't be able to pass and don't fall behind it will hurt you in the long run. He does drop your lowest test
Professor Brewer is an excellent teacher! He is not your ordinary "pull out your pen and paper, write notes, and leave each time" instructor. He keeps you engaged with in-class discussions & videos. His frequent jokes created a positive environment in the classroom. It may seem hard to take a night class twice a week, but I came excited to learn.
It is worth taking this class, specially who want to have a skill and knowledge to take MCAT or get into medical field.
The class gives you multiple chances to succeed in it. All you have to do is read the book and respond to classmates and discuss the book. Professor Brewer helps you succeed and gives you reasons why you might have done bad. Overall hard because the amount of reading to do, but it's a fun class.
This class taught a lot of information that was interesting to learn about, unlike other courses. I really enjoyed the scheduling, because it was the same every week you knew what was coming instead of being surprised. The feedback if something was wrong was very helpful for the future assignments.
Mark Brewer is an amazing teacher. I learned a lot from this class. His instructions and expectations are crystal clear, and he gives the necessary feedback to improve if needed.
I really appreciated Professor Brewer's intro videos to start each week. They offered clear information about the coming assignments and addressed any areas people needed to improve. There's a lot of terrain covered in the class, so having rolling due dates throughout the week was helpful to keep on top of assignments.
This class is structured very well. It is easy to follow along and complete assignments. Weekly assignments help to prepare you for quizzes. Professor Brewer is great! He is quick to respond to e-mails and answer any questions you may have. He offers extra credit to help you out a little. I was extremely happy with how involved he is as a professor
Professor Brewer was always very helpful and gave very useful feedback. Every assignment was very clear and all of the work had a purpose. Overall a very good teacher.
Great class. I feel I learned a lot. I feel that Professor Brewer is a good teacher. He had a video of himself weekly to watch, giving extra input. The video was a first for me with an online class. It was nice to be able to see who I was working with.
There is a lot of reading for this class but if you have an idea of what the chapter is about and skim it you will do well on the quizzes because they are open book. Brewer is a great professor to take for a first online class. Expectations are clear. Discussion and "homework" is worth a lot of your grade. I got Bs on all my testsquiz but got an A
Prof Brewer is an amazing professor. His background and experience in Psychology helps create a fun, educational learning environment. There is an average amount of course work, paper, reading, and test prep; however, it reflects in your grade and amount of participation one wants to put in. Lectures encourage students to participate.
While there is always work to do it is very easy if you pay attention to the rubric. The types of assignments stay the same through the quarter so it is easy to get a comfortable routine. The course is basically discussion based with a test over the reading every Monday. Should check canvas at least once a day.
Mr. Brewer is a great teacher. But don't take his class because you think it is an easy A. You have to follow his rules and do the work and you will be ok. Loved his gradiing style. Grade was not majority of test score. Class participation matters. Do all the work and you will get a good grade.
There is a 45-questionn quiz every week, which seems excessive, but they are not too difficult as long as you study and make sure you know the terms. His lectures are great, but he does not cover everything in class, so make sure you read the chapter. Class is not an easy A, but is still worthwhile. I learned a lot and enjoyed class.
Fun class with a great professor. Take him online you wont regret it
The reading material for this class was excellent. You will take one test on a Monday on the previous chapter followed by a quiz on the new chapter. I spent 35 hours a week on this class studying compared to 10 for my other classes. I achieved an A- in this class compared to 100% in my other two. The work load is not commensurate with 100 level.
I loved Brewer's class, what you need to do is very clear, know the material and you will get a good grade. He is a no bull, good guy. I would take him again for sure.
He is very clear about what you need to do each week, and gives feedback on assignments quickly. I would definitely take one of his classes again!
Mark's online class was very simple to pass and quite easy. Make sure you don't turn anything in late or forget about anything! I suggest that you do all your work on monday and get it over with. Mark replys to emails really quick! You will know what to expect and if you follow everything by the rubric, you will get a 4.0 in the class. would take
Great class, I would take again!
This class was great! Professor Brewer was probably the most organized and clear instructor I have ever had. His online class is super easy to follow and gives crystal clear grading criteria. It does involve a lot of reading and effort, which is expected in any course. Weekly quizzes are short but not too difficult if you study.
Class is organized in such a way that you always know what is expected. Assignments are the same every week and due on the same day. There is a weekly quiz with a time limit of 20 minutes, which is more than enough time if you study. If you don't study, 20 minutes is not nearly enough. Read, study, and do practice quizzes and you will do well.
I took this teacher online. AVOID at all costs. Every Monday he would give tests that were 20 questions in 20 minutes and you couldn't go back to a question. I tried to follow a long but it just sucked. The tests are not worth your whole grade but they are the hardest things ever. (100 questions in 100 minutes and you cant go back). Do not take!!!
It's a great class, and you will learn a lot. In the online version of his class, you'll find videos to supplement the book material. You will NEED the book as most of the homework comes straight from the book. Each week online has the same structure, making things easy to predict. He also is willing to help, even moved a test date to accommodate!
I try to avoid online classes because there usually isn't much interaction with the instructor. Professor Brewer changed my mind about that. He puts up weekly recap videos so you get to see and hear him talk about the week's work. It really made the difference for me in terms of making the class more personal. Excellent teacher!
Professor Brewer is wonderful. His online course is set up so that you know what is due every week. He is clear on what is expected and will help you whenever you need it. I highly suggest taking his class.
I enjoyed this class and the amount of work helped with learning the material, The only thing was the quizzes were challenging with the being timed. One minute per question and not being able to go back and change an answer was stressful and affected my grade.
Great class, same thing every week so you can get into a pattern. Requires work but have everything you need. The only thing was that he doesn't provide much information before the final. So I will, it's not bad. Review your notes, take a page of notes about what each chapter covers and review all the quizzes, a ton of those questions are reused.
Online class was well structured.
The assignments are virtually the same week to week which makes it easy to know what needs to get done and when. They are due on specific days. The quizzes are given on Mondays and are open for 24 hours. Professor Brewer is quick to respond to messages and posts videos each week answering common questions and addressing any concerns he may have.
Definately need the book and need to read the material. Although not required, it was really helpful to me to answer the questions in the book after each chapter. Even though class is online, Professor Brewer is there to help and very approachable. Class was very organized and structured. You know exactly what to expect each week.
Excellent class and teacher! Online class was very organized and expectations/assignments were very clear. The book is a must-have, and it's helpful to utilize the PsycSim material to help with studying. Test were straightforward and final wasn't bad. There's even videos each week of him talking to the class so you feel more connected to it.
I wish some extra feedback could have been given sometimes. This instructor relies mostly on his rubrics as mode of feedback.
Online class that was organized well. As long as you pay attention to due dates and submit everything on time your good to go. Only downside is that the test's are only available for 24 hours, so you may need to plan your time accordingly.
Brewer's tests are pretty challenging! Everything you need to know is in the book. He wants you to understand the material NOT be familiar with it. There is a difference. You can't just simply memorize terms & concepts & expect to pass. Read your book & be prepared to know how to apply those terms & concepts to real life situations.
Seeing how this was an online class it was easy to forget to do some of the assignments. I suggest printing out the syllabus and checking them off as you go. Read and know the material for the Monday quizzes. Follow the directions and format for the chapter assignment and you'll be fine. Easy A if you participate and follow the directions.
Brewer is by far the best teacher I have had at Pierce! He is so funny and makes class really enjoyable. He is super helpful and will give different strategies to help you study for tests. If you put some effort into studying, there is no reason why you shouldn't do well in this class! If I had the opportunity to take his class again, I would!
Really makes the class interesting and funny. If you're like me and have 2 hour evening classes, he makes it really fly by. Quizzes weekly. Reading (actually reading) the book is essential to doing well. You can't just study key words. He's very good at giving alternate explanations if you need it so if you ask questions and read, you'll do good.
Brewer is a great professor. His class is tough if you don't do your reading. Weekly tests on the chapter that was covered the week before. Make sure to read the entire chapter thoroughly! Lectures are entertaining. Be quick at note taking and set up a study group for this class. It will help tremendously!
Good class.
I took his afternoon class. He is very hard on attendance if you miss one day it can drop your grade which is sad. There will be quizzes at least once a week. The class itself was kind of fun though. I only got below an A because of a failed final. The quizzes are not horribly difficult.
Does not give any feedback, unless you fail.
I totally wasn't expecting to like this class, but I ended up enjoying it. Professor Brewer was pretty helpful.
Professor Brewer is a very good and helpful teacher. His lectures are very interesting.
This class was amazingly structured beginning to end. Although he does not give feedback,unless you ask,his grading rubrics on canvas are especially helpful. Every week is pretty much the same. There is a quiz, then a discussion post, book assignment, then replies due for the discussion,then an interactive activity called PsychSim. Would recommend!
Dr. Brewer made his expectations very clear at the beginning and made sure I understood everything that was expected. This was my first online class and he was very helpful in getting me started. Excellent professor! I didn't do as well as I should have in class but that was my fault. I didn't have as much time to devote as I should have.
Professor Mark Brewer was a good teacher but his teaching style was not great for me. I would have preferred more through expectations. Also, there were quizzes every Monday and they required a large amount of studying. He did not really help me understand what I missed on quizzes which did not help me on the final.
If you have to take college 110 then I would recommend Dr. Brewer. He helps you with any questions or advice you may need for college. He likes to make a lot of jokes and tell a lot of stories. The class is set-up by Pierce. Just make sure you pay attention to due dates because it's not always clear. Get everything done early. Easy A.
Professor Brewer has amazing lectures and the information he gives is fantastic. His class is highly enjoyable and participating makes it much better. He is very respective of people in his class and their own beliefs (especially religiously). His tests are not difficult if you read and study. All tests are mult choice. 1 quiz a week on past chapt.
Just textbook reading, no extra documents. The online textbook has no read aloud feature. Pretty easy
His online class is very straight forward. There is no way you can fall behind. Most all assignments are in launchpad which has the assignments dispersed throughout the reading to keep it interesting. He does a weekly video to keep it interactive and does not make you have 'class discussions' loved this class!
Test every Tuesday. I don't know about online but in-class the weekly test is 50 questions which are multiple choice on a Scantron. You have to LEARN the material not be familiar with it. Be ready to apply everything to real world situations. Homework does not prepare you for the quiz and in-class barely does either. Must use text book and study!!
Complete assignments on time, he will not offer any opportunity to turn it in later even if you plan in advance.
Took this as a hybrid. Most of my stuff was online straight from the book. You know since the first day whats due and when it's due. DON'T SKIP THE READINGS!!! his stories are funny. Quizzes are not like the canvas ones, so prepare yourself and read the book.
Dr. Brewer is a confident teacher who loves the subject that he teaches. He jokes with his students in a way that makes them feel comfortable and inspires them to open up and talk in the class. The class is a hybrid class, at least mine was, so you read a lot in the book, but Dr. Brewer is good at explaining what you read.
I learned sporadically, some things stuck others didn't. Very lecture heavy and personally this isn't my best way to learn. Good information throughout the course. Possibly to mature of a approach for the amount of running start (high school) students, but fine for me.
Class was a hybrid one, so you have to read a lot and there is a lot of homework on canvas. Attendance is important, but the lectures I felt was not as helpful, they were repetitive of what is in the text and HW. He also uses cuss words through out his lectures, with examples of arousal for every chapter. I wish I would have taken a regular class.
I took the Hybrid course and was at first freaked out by the amount of homework assigned. There are about 13 due every Friday. Its actually not too bad and took no more than an hour to do them all. Most answers can easily be found. He has quizzes about every other week that are easy if you read the chapters and know key terms. He's really funny!
Dr. Brewers class was great. If you go to class and complete assignments you will earn a good grade. Dr Brewer has clear expectations and grades fairly. Expect lots of reading. Dr Brewer is Hilarious and his classes are entertaining.
Dr. Brewer is very clear of his expectations of his class. I took a hybrid so a lot of the material was done online, but he is always available if you have any questions. He cares about the outcome of his class and I would definitely take his class again if I needed to.
Teacher is very nice and very helpful.
Professor Brewer truly cares about his students success. As long as you complete the homework using his rubric you will pass and ace the weekly quizzes.
He's always making sure you're on the right track to do well. Like giving you reminders to take the test online so you don't forget. All learning is up to you and how you use the material, he doesn't actually put out lectures himself.
Professor Brewer is an amazing instructor. He was easy to communicate with, worked with issues going on, and the class was the most organized class I have had! I wish I could have him for all future classes. Best Professor I have had by far.
TAKE BREWER'S ONLINE CLASS. This was the best class I've taken at pierce college. It's not hard, you do the assignments and you are golden.
Brewer is awesome. The textbook given is online so make sure you're always checking the textbook for assignment. He is a super nice teacher and responds to all questions and even gives reminders if a deadline is approaching. Participate and you will pass ��
Do all homework and you will pass
Dr. Brewer is a great professor. Although I took his online course, he is easy to talk to and gives great feed back. If you do the work, understand the material, and participate in discussions the class will be an easy A. I wish he taught psych200. Definitely recommend this class
Instructions were always very clear and grading is very fair
Prof. Brewer gives a ton of assignments (15-20 per week)! He's kind of odd, makes lots of jokes but asks tough questions. Studying is a must, you won't learn most of what you need for tests in class. Lots of quizzes on very specific terms. Be prepared to work very hard. He's fun, swears a lot and seems to like PSYC, but super tough on homework.
I would highly advise reading each chapter and coming to class prepared to take notes. Devote 4-6 hours to studying a week. Take breaks during studying and show up to class. His lectures are very good, but will admit, he spends very little time "studying" in class. He was an Arts and Theater major in undergraduate school, so his stories are good.
Dr. Brewer is a very approachable professor who has weekly multiple choice quizzes for the previous chapter. To be successful you should take notes on his lectures and the chapter itself, also make sure to pay attention to the vocabulary words and their definitions. It can be very helpful on the test for tricky questions. Overall, he is great.
Dr. Brewer was one of the best professors I've had for both College Success and Psychology. His classes are difficult but he makes sure its never boring and he really loves what he does. He's always clear on instructions but you will have to work hard for a good grade.
As long as your did the homework there would be no reason for you to not be able to pass his course. At first I was nervous because it was my first online course, but his instructions for what we needed to do was very clear and made everything easy. I would definitely recommend Professor Brewer, for anyone interested in taking a Psychology class.
Incredibly kind and motivating.
Dr. Brewer is great. He really cares about his students and even emailed me when an assignment deadline was coming up when I hadnt yet turned something in. Easy class and great professor.
Dr. Brewer was an amazing professor l, which says a lot considering this class was online. He was great with feedback and helping me with anything that came up along the way this semester.
This class is easy as long as the student reads and understands the text from the book. Participation and completion of assignments are vital for getting a good grade in the class. The professor is easy going and tries to make the class fun and interesting.
He is super involved with his students and makes sure you don't fall behind. There is a good amount of homework but it is not difficult or super time consuming. The only thing that was challenging at first was his rule of no late work. Since I procrastinate it was hard to adapt to at first but it really makes get your stuff done on time.
During the first couple of weeks of class it was difficult for me to understand how to post assignments and understand that Launch pad as well as the class work from the original site is where assignments are found. I think it would be more helpful if the professor did a little more hand holding for those who need it for the first couple of weeks.
If you put in the minimum effort needed you will pass. Putting in more than minimum effort is expected though.
Mark Brewer was an amazing teacher. He was super funny, interesting, and did not mind answering your questions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone taking Psychology 100. He was the best teacher I have ever had to be honest.
Dr. Brewer is an awesome professor! This is my favorite class I have ever taken. The amount of homework he assigns looks like a lot but goes rather quickly. Just do the work and every week and listen during lectures and it should be an easy a. He is very funny and makes class interesting. Can be very sarcastic so don't take anything personal!
We are not done with the quarter yet, but the teacher is amazing. I would take any class with him. He Is the best teacher and he gives you feedback so fast. Also, he grades quizzes, homework on time, you dont have to be worry about what it's going to be your grade. Moreover, if you need him out of class, he is available. Amazing class.
He is honestly the worst professor. He does not teach you what is on the test and it is a lot of self study. He does not give any extra credit and expects us to know every question on the exams. He also gives way too much homework. DO NOT take him...
He's a grower not a shower. He grows on you throughout he course. He makes a lot of controversial jokes but it's so funny. Tests are literally every Monday and are 50 questions, but if you do the homework you will be fine. Gives practice tests for all of them. Miss more than 5 days of class and ur grade does down a whole letter.
Very nice guy. Learned a lot of interesting topics taking his online course. Only thing I had problems with at first was getting the launch pad set up be aware you have to go into launchpad from canvas not from another tab. Overall do the homework, and do the work in general and you shouldn't have an issue. Overall great professor :)
Professor Brewer always made me feel like it was okay to ask questions during class. I didn't speak up a lot but when I didn't understand something, he was always willing to help. Great guy!
Dr. Brewer is hilarious and that made lectures more fun which made me want to be there even more. Great class!
Where to even start?!?! I took Dr. Brewer for psych100. He was my first class to ever take in college and I immediately fell in loveee with him! He is very fun, caring, and a pure jewel to be around. He makes each and every day exciting and made everyone feel loved and welcome. Definitely the best professor ever!!!
I took this class online and really enjoyed it. Took a lot of effort, but LaunchPad gives you so many study opportunities along with an optional practice quiz each week in Canvas. 50 question quiz every Monday. If you take the course online, you are recorded with a lockdown browser during the exam. Really interesting class, be willing to work!
His only class is extremely disorganized. He does not allow any makeup quiz's or tests which would normally be fine, but because he uses launch pad and canvas, it's hard to organize what is due and when. I'm sure he's a good professor outside of an online course as he seems friendly.
Dr. Brewer is a pretty cool guy, from what I could tell. He's fairly laid back, except when it comes to late work. He gave us weekly update videos before the test, which was always nice to see. My only issue would be that he uses HonorLock. That software is sketchy, and I really wish he didn't make us use it. Other than that, he's a good choice.
Professor Brewer used an online textbook format with lots of built-in quizzes and homework. If you stay on top of everything it's pretty easy. I learned a lot and really enjoyed this class.
Professor Brewer had reasonable expectations, very clear and manageable lessons & book work. The quizzes were all based on the textbook as well as the discussions. Great teacher overall!
Mr. Brewer was a really nice teacher and had a rubric for most, if not all assignments so you knew exactly what had to be done. The assignments themselves weren't that hard and I had fun learning about psychology.
This professor I have to say really cares about his students, hands down this best professor I have ever had in my 3 almost 4 years at college!
Friendly and enthusiastic teacher, exam is not too hard. Learning along with the Quizzlet and youll be fine.
Dr. Brewer uses LaunchPad for the majority of assignments and quizzes with 1 discussion board per week. There's a lot of information to digest each week, but if you keep up with it, the tests aren't terribly difficult. Quizzes are open book, tests are taken using HonorLock. He's funny, personable, and responds quickly to email. Highly recommend!
Weekly reading and activities from an online textbook.
I enjoyed Professor Brewers class! If you do the reading and participate you will pass.
He was a great professor and I would definitely recommend him to anyone. There was kind of a lot of homework, but most were easy, small assignments that didn't take hardly any time.
I really enjoyed Psych 200 with Dr, Brewer. His weekly videos are entertaining as well as informative.
Dr. Brewer is pretty great!! I made the mistake of missing a few discussion posts (which are easy, so dont do that!) and it brought my grade down a bit. Life is busy, ya know? He is relatable, funny and genuinely cares about you succeeding which is necessary for a psychology class. I would definitely take another one of his classes!
Overall, this class was pretty easy if you read the textbook chapter every week. The week's work is based on the reading and doesn't take too much time to complete. I would 110% recommend Professor Brewer to anyone looking to take a psychology class at Pierce. Good luck!!
If you are taking the College 115 class I absolutely recommend him! He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He understands students very well and is not super demanding, knows how to keep the atmosphere light, and as long as you attend his class and read the rubrics for the assignments this class is a guaranteed A.
Had him from COLLG 115. The entire class was busy work, a whole lot of busy work that gave me no insight to anything for my future college classes. He went off on a lot of tangents so it made understanding homework assignments more difficult than needed. Talked a lot. Class was an easy A though, would take again only for that reason.
I didn't really want to take 115 but I'm sure glad I chose Dr. Brewer. He explained assignments and was always willing to help if I didn't understand exactly what I was supposed to do. Great professor!
This was a helpful class. It was my first term at Pierce and professor Brewer gave us lots of ideas about how to succeed here. Im taking psychology with him next term.
Dr. Brewer is a really nice professor. He is very straightforward on the expectations of the assignments and will respond to your emails after school hours if there's an issue that you're having. A thing to note is that he counts attendance as a grade, so if you miss one or two days, you'll be fine but the points do add up.
I took psych 100 with Dr. Brewer last year and I loved that class. I waited until he was teaching 200 so I could take it with him. Very caring and helpful and always made me feel smart even when I had struggles.
Dr. Brewer handles this class very well. Although much of the work is easy and used to show how the college homework system works, Brewer uses the material to have an interesting discussion or lecture during class. He is always engaged and willing to answer questions. Reaching out to him for help is easy because hes always willing to talk.
Dr. Brewer was a great professor for College Success 115. He assigned a lot of homework but gave good instructions and was very helpful in class and through email. His lectures in class were engaging and he grades fairly. This class is an easy A if you stay on top of your work and don't procrastinate.
Tons of weekly assignments, uses his own published psychology book, timed weekly quizzes with only 1min/question closed note/book. No makeup assignments or turned in late work.
Very easy class. Some assignments were annoying but easy nonetheless
Dr. Brewer made my first psychology class very enjoyable. It wasn't easy but he made it interesting and I always looked forward to coming to class.
I really enjoyed Dr. Brewers class. He had an awesome attitude towards teaching and was very inspiring. He remembers to make learning fun and to have a great time while getting down to business and completing the courses criteria. I definitely would recommend this class to other friends and family. I wish him the best.
First comes off as stern and intimidating, but soon you learn that just plays into his dry humor. Very engaging lectures, relevant anecdotes that help you better understand the subject. Many homework assignments per week but manageable if you schedule time to do them. Would have the same professor again.
Dr. Brewer did this class really well because of how he was able to portray the information to us and how he was with his words regarding the information we learned this quarter. Very clear and kept it light.
This class wasn't the easiest but it sure was one of the easier ones. He does not accept late work for any reason. And you cannot miss more than 5 classes or he will drop your grade, since attendance counts. Other than that he's a very supportive teacher and does his best to help you understand what's going on in class and with homework over canvas
He is an exceptional professor who gives amazing lectures that keeps you interested. I enjoyed reading the texts and watching the videos. I never missed class and attendance is graded and important. Make sure you schedule a class time that works best for you. I learned a lot and wish the class lasted longer :)
Dr.Brewer is a great professor, is strict yet the class was averagely easy as long as you kept up and did all the work.
He has a very engaging teaching style- you'll never get bored during his lectures! He also conveys all of the material very clearly and well.
Dr. Brewer was a really good teacher! He gave great lectures with lots of resources to help us learn! The course was very easy to navigate, the workload was just enough, and he was strict with deadlines, which I appreciated. I would recommend Dr. Brewer to anyone taking Psychology 100, he was awesome!
He does not care about your best interest whatsoever. No matter how heavy you situation is, he will not excuse you, you will be marked down, if you want a professor that cares about your education and interest, I would recommend seeking a different prof. He is not an understanding teacher.
Gives an obscene amount of homework and uses his own book as the textbook
Uses his own textbook so say goodbye to quizlet or any study help. His textbook is confusing to read. Strict with deadlines with no extra credit and 7 assignments per week with each assignment is long reading his textbook. Your attendance is graded, after 5 missed classes you drop a letter grade
Knowledgeable counselor & prof. Moderate homework and difficulty on tests. No late work accepted which is pretty standard. But don't even think about missing his lectures. I worked very hard in this class to receive an A, and when I missed one lecture, taking advantage of my "free day" (-20 points instead of 40), it brought me down to a B.
Great professor but I didn't do as well in his class as I meant to. Not his fault I just didn't put in the time I should have. I'm going to take his class again for a higher grade.
He gives out a lot of reading assignments and I'm not the best reader. He helped me out a lot with the reading guides he gives out. Those really helped me get through the reading and he was always willing to help me with those. Great guy.
I took this class because it's required for my program and wound up really liking it. Professor Brewer was very clear at the start what his requirements were and that made the class run smoothly for me. I thought it was a fun class.
Overall great professor! Within the first day of class it was very clear what was expected of us, however, the classroom environment was very laid back. Throughout the lectures, the professor showed a deep understanding of the material and often utilized real-life experiences/examples to convey the material effectively. Workload was moderate. Good!
Lectures were engaging and fun. Attendance is mandatory! Lots of homework depending on the chapter lessons.
He makes it very clear what is expected of us from the first day of class. Lots of reading, and homework but if you do them throughout the week and not last minute it's not bad. No late work, which is standard. Attendance is graded so I don't suggest missing a class. I do wish his study guides for the exam were more helpful.
I really enjoyed this class, professor Brewer is a great lecturer. There are a couple minor assignments every week and three exams over the quarter for this class. Great class, but make sure to study well for the exams as there is no extra credit opportunities and they are weighted heavily.
He was cool
Professor Brewer runs a structured class with clear expectations. The workload is challenging but manageable with engagement. unstuckstudy ai was a great resource for preparing for exams alongside the textbook.
If do every assignment you will have at least a B. He doesn't take late work, but is the easiest grader I have ever had. Would definitely take again.
Attendance was graded which I don't think is right since we are paying and it's a filler class anyway so our attendance shouldn't affect our grade. Professor ego is through the roof because at one point he referred to himself as a god. He made very condescending comments everyday but I do have to say the class was very easy!
Great professor and nice guy. Very engaging lectures. He does tend to talk more quietly so if you have a condition or you're hearings not that great make sure you sit close to the front. There is no late work allowed at all whatsoever so make sure you turn stuff in on time. The material is very interesting and the workload is relatively light.
