Duva is a great teacher

I think he tends to talk fast because he gets so into the lecture that he gets excited, which is not a bad thing, you just have to keep up with him

Excellent Lecturer, but he would sometimes go past the end of class. Hist mastery of psychology is shown in his lectures as he focuses on the main points of psychology focusing on key points of the subject. the lectures and study guides helped prepare for quizes and exams. he was also very approachable.

Mr. Duva is a great teacher. His lectures are clear and informative. He's very knowledgeable and basically everything he talks about in class is what will be on the test. He's nice and he listens to his students concerns and gives them help if needed. Participation is a big part of his class; he appreciates good discussions with his students.

He's a really great person, but not that good a teacher. He get's off track easily, and he tends to over explain topics to a point you don't even know what he's saying.

He will never expect something he didn't ask you for. He's crystal clear with that will be on tests. DO THE H.W.! If something doesn't make sense you can ask him. Something that he really appreciates is PARTICIPATION. He is smart and learning from him benefits you as a student. He will always try to help you. You don't see much of that at IVC.

Professor Duva gives you all the materials you need to pass the class, so it's easy to get a good grade. I would choose him as a professor again if I could.

Wouldn't take again

Took diva for winter (short semester) is a bit heavy with classwork and homework. Duva is an excellent professor explains all exams, homework and all the question you have he will reply you back. In my opinion I would not retake his course in matter of I do not like math.

Yes, Professor makes you work hard for it, you need to read the assignments to pass the quizzes, just like any other class. My personal opinion, class was very interesting and the textbook as well. Some of the questions were very similar and confused me throughout the tests. I will look forward to his next class.
