Every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man!

Good teacher, kind of funny. Snappy dresser too.

He is a very attractive proffesor. He is also great Teacher!!!

Dr Gooden is the best in the biz, All info online and is very helpful. Not easy but honest A. Steers racial discussions masterfully. Doesn't let himself get mixed up with old school guys like Kruger and Campbell. So good I requested him for my advisor

yeah there are papers due every week but you can drop two and they are very easy. if you need psy 200 take it with Gooden, he's a cute little guy:)

Easy exams, only does 4 papers now, drops lowest!! not that hard...seriously you can learn so much about yourself and others from this class! RECOMENDED, great discussions and insight!

Learned a great deal about myself and others. Really great instructor. Thouroughly explains concepts. And goes into great detail if student has questions or concerns. Exams and papers are a little challenging though.

I don't know what these negative comments are all about?! I thought Dr. Gooden was excellent. He's very clear and very helpful. I e-mailed him my papers beforehand--he helped me so much, and I got As on all of them. Great class--learn alot! Be prepared for class debates.

What can I say, you get out of it what you put into it. Tests are not hard if you read, papers are pretty easy. Pay attention in class you will learn something. He won't give you an "A", but it is not that hard to get one. It was an enlightening class. Well worth the time. Nice guy.

At first I thought his class was going to be difficult.It took me a little bit to get use to his teaching style.He has 4 papers and he drops the lowest one.If you do what he says, then the papers are easy. You can also email them to him for lots of help.Tests are long but pretty easy. Also ex. cre

great prof. very helpful....good advisor

His tests are not hard if you know how to study. I got a 70% on the first test without hardly studying and just got an 89% on the 2nd one cuz I figured out what he asks questions on. Good class...good professor

If you attend class and pay attention you will do well. He gives points for attendance. Papers are worth the effort but hard to figure out what he's looking for.

Liked his teaching style, lecture plus interaction, but a bit difficult to grade participation with 60+ students. Fairly easy tests as long as you READ all the chapters and study the slides. Summaries not difficult, do extra credit, attend class. Also, practice quizzes on book's website are helpful.

Professor gooden is a really nice guy, however I thought this class would eb more personal expericences and not all STUDIES and THEORIES..If you want aclass on STUDIES and THEORIES take this class. Test are semi hard, and the papers take effort

Dr. Gooden is a great prof,really knows his stuff! but his class is extremely difficult. If you are up for a challenge and really like the subject matter, i highly recommend taking him HES AWESOME!!!, if not interested in Psy of prejudice and sterotyping...RUN!!! All tests are a ton of theories and studies and he is horribly anal on papers.

Dr. Gooden was indeed anal about his papers, but if you e-mail them to him, he will correct it and send it back for you to turn in. no reason why you should not get A's on his papers. his tests are pretty challenging, since 75% are all about theories and studies. be prepared to attend EVERY class, and participate. he always takes attendence!

great teacher. study, pay attention and get on his good side. you'll do well if you ask for feedback on the papers too. if you do all that you should get atleast a B

He is very interesting to listen to, shows a lot of good videos. His papers are easy and he is very understanding.

Class was interesting. He was very willing to help out on the homework and class.

He expects a little much from an introductory class. If you are going to take a writing intensive class at the same time, please reconsider. His papers are short (1 page) but they are time consuming.

His Stereotyping & Prejudice class SHOULD be writing intensive, although it's not. It's a lot of writing, and he's a little hard with grading, but if you submit it to him early for revision, you'll probably get an A. Very humorous guy, is fair to all his students. Go into the class with a good mind, and you'll really learn a lot.

He is the funniest professor I've had all year at WSU! His tests are kind of long, like 90 questions or so, but they are all about experiments that are covered in the book and in class during lecture. Make sure you show up to class on video days, there's a lot of questions on those and he takes attendance as well.

Great prof, very funny and smart. Also very attractive. His class is challenging but fair. Do not be afraid of the papers, if you submit for the revision ahead of time you will get at least a B on them. Tests are a little hard but no worries he curves at the end and offers extra credit. Awesome guy.

He was great! I learned a lot and I loved the dicussions. The only annoying thing was that the power point presentations were kinda long...

I don't know why everyone's making him out to be a bad professor. His tests are a bit wordy and he does talk a lot but overall he is a great person. He's very kind and works with you in all circumstances. I think he really wants his students to succeed and will work with them if they need. I recommend him.

Dr. Gooden is very helpful and while some students think he is too difficult; in the end, you will be glad you learned his way!

He keeps the class interesting. Make sure you pay attention and if you have questions ask or you will be lost on the test. Participate!! it will help your grade a lot.

I agree with others that we cannot improve on papers if we dont get them back. If it is too much to grade, stop assigning so much. However, I found him interesting and intelligent. I learned a lot and would take him again. Tests are decently straightforward yet can be wordy.

make sure you attend lectures, but at thesame time, dont focus on lectures for exams. The bulk of his questions come directly from the book - he even tells you that on first day of class. Overall, Great fun class. Would take him again.

gives pts 4 attendance and participation, so make sure both areas are covered. His exams come directly from the book, so u do need to get the text book. Overall, He is the best teacher at WSU - In my opinion. Why? because you actually LEARN in his class. he could come off as arrogant and egocentric but if u cld just ignore that part, you wld lv it

Good Prof. He assigned papers with no direction. He is very willing to help though. Movies shown is class are great. Tests are fairly easy, MUST READ CHAPTERS ASSIGNED!! Great course, I would recommend him!

It's an okay class. The work isn't terribly difficult, it's somewhat tedious, and the exams are kind of challenging. Really funny professor, though.

The class is interesting, though the lectures may be long. He talks a lot, but if you pay attention and make sure to attend class everyday, then you're in good shape. I didn't find the tests too difficult, just read the assigned reading, and make sure to say something in class at least once, you get a participation grade. good prof, easy a.

Fantastic teacher. If you plan on actually learning something from your college career, take this guy. ALthough attendance is mandatory, he makes the class time worth your while. He's really funny and if you pay attention in class you'll catch him practicing the 'Salsa' dance. Highly recommend this prof for his classes and also as an advisor!

I highly recommend you take this class. He makes it very interesting and easy to understand. In class, he talks about topics that people are generally too afraid to mention. The tests are pretty simple. He is a bit cocky, but not so much that it irritates you.

I have had him severally times for various classes every time, the class is amazing but somewhat challenging.

The best Psych professor I have had. Very friendly and patient in helping you learn the material if you don't understand. He uses movies and his students to explain topics. He is a little cocky, but not so much that its irritating. Take him, you won't regret it!

Best teacher I have ever by far at this school. I always make sure if I need a class & he's teaching it to take it. Class is always interesting, he's very helpful and has a good time teaching-which makes it enjoyable. Attendance is mandatory-but your allowed to miss so many classes a semester without penalty. Highly recommend Gooden!!

Time spent in class was definitely interesting! I found myself really wanting to attend everyday because he often had really fun, great activities or demonstrations. It was clear that he actually valued our input as his students, which I liked. Yeah we would go off-topic a lot, but for the most part I loved his class.

Lectures quickly derailed from informational, intriguing topics to debates on social and political issues (while interesting, not at all necessary test information). READ the textbook. Every chapter assigned. Focus on understanding the entire concepts and not just general definitions. Do the papers, and attend class (for points).

Dr. G really cares about psychology and you'll learn a lot from him. He never plays BS, always tells you how it is in order to make you a better student and psychologist. 100% recommend, you'll learn a lot!

good professor! for stereotyping & prejudice you write ten papers (allowed to skip 2) and theyre all your opinion. only 300 words! youre only allowed to miss 3 days and then you lose points for attendance. 20 minute presentation with a group instead of a final - NO tests!! easy class

If you do not like going off topic, then you won't like him. He goes off a lot but he always brings it back and it always becomes relevant to our discussion. Extremely discussion heavy, which makes class a little more interesting. I love Gooden, his classes are always fun and informational.

Attend class regularly, watch assigned videos and read text assigned and you'll do great. Many say he gets off topic but it's social psych, EVERYTHING, Every topic is on topic. I loved this class and learned a lot. Take him if you can!

I took his prejudice capstone and it was super chill. We had weekly reflections based on a posed question and article that were pretty easy since it was opinionated. The final project was a little tougher since we had to make a bibliography and write a short abstract based on it but he explained it thoroughly. His lectures are just discussions.

I really like this professor. The class consisted of weekly reading and annotations and I think 3-4 exams. Attendance is not required. I believe that he really cares about his students, but he does get off topic a lot

I've taken his social psychology and psychology of incarceration classes, both of which were phenomenal. He does challenge you to think critically and be analytical, so if you're not willing to put that kind of thought into your work, you won't do well. He's very good a creating an environment where people can professionally discuss and debate.

very good professor. Had clear grading criteria and it was very manageable to do. He is very easy to talk to and replied to emails fairly quickly.

He is one of my favorite professors. He did weekly check-ins to make sure you were getting on to check the class page, and would respond back in a timely way, and even reach out if you mentioned you were stressed. He always gives feedback on his flip video assignments but explains the feedback instead of just showing missed points. Great professor!

Easy class, watch videos, do a video reflection, and he takes attendance by emailing him every week.

He takes a while to email, little to email, , attendance was checked in through email, and easy points. Wish he would've responded to emails faster, or timely, or even at all. He spoke out well during grading took out points for things if you didn't follow objectives. He was serious about that, so read THOROUGHLY (good professor kinda ish)
