Great teacher, very enthusiastic and energetic. Gives lectures but they're not the typical boring monotone ones. If you read the book and come to class for lecture the tests are not hard; plus he always reviews to give you hints on what to focuss on. He's very fair and makes the class fun and interesting.

Honestly, this class was so simple. There is a lot of reading, but it was really interesting. I regret taking it online because of how interesting it was. I seriously loved it. My experience would have been better if I had a person lecturing the interesting stuff. No quizzes. Just reading assignments, 2 midterms, 1 noncumulative final.

He only reads off slides but does not publish them. Attendance is checked, but he won't know if you are not there and someone marks you off. Quizzes once a week, midterms, and finals are all online, and the questions can be googled. On occasion, there would be a discussion post or other assignment. It's a very easy class, he is a yapper.

Easy class with helpful lectures and resources. Quizzes and exams are straightforward - use unstuckstudy ai and the textbook to prepare. Doable workload, great for fulfilling credit requirements.

I enjoyed Professor Healy's class. He makes me want to learn more about psychology, and the workload is not too bad. A couple of discussions here and there and a weekly quiz.

The class is very "learn it on your own" because it is a large class. So, if you want to learn and maintain all the topics, it will be pretty hard as he only presents slides during his lectures. He will go off-topic. He usually puts out weekly discussions and quizzes. The class has a couple of exams. It's doable just write those notes! Good Luck!

Great professor who really sets you up for success. Clear and easy to understand lectures and is very helpful if you have any questions. If your course is hybrid you have to do a good amount of self-studying so make sure you carve out time to do that. Highly recommend taking this course if you're a psych or soc major who doesn't want to take Math10

Mark is an amazing professor and makes his lectures super interesting to listen to and breaks everything down easier for those who don't know much about psychology. All of his assignments are online, including chapter quizzes, exams, and the final. Pretty fun and easy class overall, just do the work and you're good.

It was very easy to get good grades, but I'm not sure if he gives A+ for the PSYC01 course. I got over 100% for the total score but just got an A.

The exams are really easy. He allows open notes, so you don't have to perfectly remember everything. I suggest remembering about 70% of the content before taking the exams and then using the textbook to check for the remaining answers you don't know. Exams are 60% of your grade, but It's easy to get an 95+ on the exams without trying hard.

Easiest A ever. Mainly learned through assigned textbook reading (free online) and had weekly discussion post assignments (max ~2 assignments). Did feel like I was self-studying so if that's you like, then enjoy. The exam questions were also accurate to the textbook, so I'd stick with the textbook as the main source of studying.

Set my standards for the rest of my classes! Had his class at 9:30 am but his energy was enough to keep me awake during his lectures. He's very nice & he goes over the textbook during the lectures & he makes it easy to understand so I would say attendance matters. There are chapter quizzes but as long you read the textbook (free) you're good!

Super incredible prof! Really kind and a good teacher! He's very passionate abt psych so lectures go by fast! (does take attendance until last week) Offers super easy extra credit, exams aren't too bad and has like 6 hw assignments -- all of which are so so quick and easy to do. 3 exams including final. (everything is open note as well!)
