Kind of funny, but tries really hard. Easy course, and he usually gets a few good jokes in each class

Makes things quite easy to understand. Teaches Psychology like he likes it. Has a lot of jokes. Unfortunately listens to the idiots in the class who think he is "going too fast" (as he follows along on power point that is already available -

Good Prof. Easy to understand, funny guy.

Good teacher. Pretty straightforward class, and all the info is on the internet which makes the class even easier. Nice guy.

Great prof, great papers which were easy to write. And really nice!

NICE VAN!!!!

It's all about the van! great guy!

This was my most boring class. The prof just reads off his slides (you have printed notes in front of you anyway)...you dont have to pay attention because the material that is on the exam is all in the textbook (in a little corner of the page) and rarely in class notes. He is definetly more interested in racing his van than in teaching a class.

Awful class, but Rempel knows it and makes the most of the material. His exams and assignments are super easy, don't even open your text. I wouldn't recommend taking this class unless you are a psych major.

easy prof, taught right out of the text book, all multiple choice

Found his teaching style EXCELLENT. He thouroughly explained things, and instead of just reading off the slides, he actually went into detail and gave great examples. He even pointed out things that he said people who did not attend class, would miss on the exam... Loved it.

Nice guy! Took uniteresting material and made it more personally relevant by using examples from his own personal experiences. Material in text is dry and hard to get through but this was the easiest 3 credits i have ever received.

Martin is an interesting teacher. He uses various examples to explain topics ( personal stories, outside resources, etc) This class can be easy or hard. Weekly readings and discussions are a great grade booster and he is active with both the small groups and the class in discussing. Attend class, speak up and read ! Good luck! Its interesting

His tests are straight from the text book he assigns, as long as you do the readings the class is simple. Plus there is room to bonus up to 5% on your final mark. Boring proffessor but an easy average booster.

Great prof. Very understated and dry sense of humor. He covers a lot in class (jokes about carpal tunnel syndrome) and is clear in his expectations. Fair marker.

Possibly my best prof thus far, though this rating might just be attributed to the fact that most of my other profs really suck. He keeps you engaged with short, concise, and to-the-point stuff. He mainly just reads from the slides and the textbook, so ya dont really have to be there unless you have nothing else to do.. or can't understand the stuf

Awesome prof. Keeps his lectures pretty interesting with humor (he's acually pretty funny at times) and real life examples. He takes personal experiences and uses them as examples to help clarify things, and he also gives you the exact notes he uses to make jot notes on and stuff. I would take many many more classes from him.

He is a great prof, all notes are online and he reads right off of them, textbook is used although he does not hound at you to read it, be prepared with it for midterms and finals! he is enthusiastic! DONT HAVE YOUR PHONE ON IN CLASS HE WILL ANSWER IT!!

Easy class. Rempel is somewhat boring at times, but if you take his night class, it can be pretty good... he shows a 30 min video, gives a 15min break, and takes up the last half hour doing practice MC questions (which are actually fun). Total teaching time=45mins!! Tests are straight from the book and slides... take this class, get a good grade!

dont need to go to class. just read the text and know all the little details and you can get a 95 easy.

Rempel is a good prof. He knows the material, and although he follows a powerpoint presentation that is available online, complementary notes that he gives supplement the material well. If you are picking a 200 level course or higher, he is a great prof. Note to all 1st year psych students: All first year psych classes are boring and easy.

Great Prof

Exams are pretty easy. Fairly interesting.

Material isn't thrilling, but professor tries so hard to make it interesting. He's a really nice guy, and the tests are fairly easy if you know the material. Didn't look at the textbook once, all powerpoint was online, and a little information was added in class, but mostly just explanations. If you know the info, you'll be fine.

I thought he was great. Exams are very fair and predictable. Always let class out on time but was religiously 10 minutes late. Had notes posted before class so it was easy just to add a few things to them here or there. I retained a lot of information, got a pretty good mark, and didn't really put that much effort in. Highly recommended.

Took this Community Psych in the summer from him... It was A LOT of work. He's an incredibly nice guy, but, the work load was crazy! Probably partly because it was done in a span of 3 weeks, but.. possibly a little too much work for three week!

This course is extremely easy, just read the textbook and you'll do fine. Or just look at the powerpoint notes and you'll do fine as well since they're practically identical. You don't have to show up to class to get a good mark. Although the content can be super boring, some parts were actually interesting. I definitely recommend this prof.

Funny, interesting and very approachable. He made the class as interesting as possible. Makes great power point notes - yes, you don't have to buy the text book but it really helps.

He tries to keep something boring somewhat interesting. He's not uptight and is approachable if you have any questions. He posts the notes on PAWS so thats good and read the textbook and you'll do good.

Super easy class. You don't even need to attend class. Read the textbook carefully and learn the definitions. Plus you might just learn something.

Awesome Prof,His tests are very fair and from the textbook and slides.Great Class.

Not super, not bad. 80 minutes really dragged in this class, but he was sometimes funny too. Tests were all mc but there were quite a few "applied" questions that were challenging. The assignments were fun.

definately tied for my favorite proff if you sit up front you get 10x the exerience an nevr be afraid to ask him anything at all after class totally made me reconsider my career path as a teacher and go for clinical psych

funny, helpfull, and knows his stuff, highly recommend this class!!!!! weekly online tests 3 midterms (all year class) he is always willing to help. Great prof.

His lectures were mainly interesting, although 80 min really sucked some times. Tests are MC but impossible unless you know the text from front to back. He pretty much reads word for word straight from the txt so if you follow along in the text after class you should be fine. Shows some cool videos though. each midterm is about 4 chapters

It's been a few years since I've been in one of his classes but this prof is the reason I chose psychology as my major. He's engaging, interesting and it's obvious he really cares about what he's talking about. I tell every prospective first year arts student to take his psych 110 class.

Really easy to understand and good at teaching. HIs tests are really hard though. Need to know the material well! Read the text!! Gives 5% bonus for psych experiments and 10% for mypsychlab online chapter tests which is an easy 10%

Dr. Rempel is a great prof. His tests are extremely fair in that if you attend class, take notes, and read the textbook you will be fine. Very engaged in his classes and even adds a bit of humor to his lectures which helps! One of my favorite psychology profs at the U of S!

By taking his introductory psychology class, you are essentially paying upwards of $600 for the textbook and nothing else. That is all you need to pass this class. He gets a good rating from me only because he has a quirky and humorous personality. If you want to be mildly entertained for an hour or so, attend one of his lectures.

He lectures straight from the textbook, and his assignments are generic ones pulled off the internet. However, it's an easy class and a good intro to social psych if it's an area which interests you.

Makes the class as interesting as possible. Good sense of humour. Powerpoints straight from the textbook, so no surprises on the tests. Easy online assignments worth 10% and a bonus 5% for participating in 5 easy 30 minute research experiments. Overall, a good prof; I would recommend him.

Teaches right out of the textbook, a good amount of writing assignments and essays in the class but good practice for learning APA style and i found that it wasn't hard to get a good mark on them. Very understanding prof and tries to keep things fun and interesting. A+ Rempel!

I loved his class. He is very smart, funny and interesting. Even though I loved his class I did bad in it. His finals always got me! There are fair- I just had a bad luck of the draw and focused more on the things that weren't on the test. I think the class would be even better if it was smaller (mine had 360+)

not a bad prof. Not neccessary to attend class tests/lectures were basically the textbook. I stopped attending about after the 2nd midterm and my marks improved. Gives 5% bonus for volunteering for grad studies.

I had him for both 100 lvl and 200 lvl. Although he teaches straight from the textbook, his upper year classes include a lot of discussion on the topics covered and make you think about what you are learning. He knows his material. He has a good sense of humor and is very understanding, especially if you put in the effort. Don't judge him on 110.

Class was always interesting, so I never felt like skipping.He has a great sense of humour, always kept things interesting, told lots of stores and showed lots of videos. Very content-heavy course, so the exams were more difficult, but I would take another class from him in a heartbeat! Take his class, by far my favourite prof!

An entertaining instructor, but not very engaging. He would go the entire 80 minute class and never once look at us. His notes are somewhat useful, unfortunately most of the exam questions pertained to case studies we had never discussed. Class average was a 52 for both midterms. He does give the option for 3% bonus marks though. That was nice.

Great prof! Very amusing. Interesting class as well. You had to go to class to type the power points he provided which were basically a shortened version of the text book. I would recommend this class.

I went to almost every class. You soon realize it's really not necessary to attend class because he reads pretty much straight out of the textbook and his powerpoints are shortened versions of the text. He's a nice guy though and will help you if needed. As long as you read the textbook you'll be fine!

I really enjoy having Dr. Rempel as a professor. He keeps class interesting, as he's humorous and shows good videos. I barely went to any psychology lectures last term (different prof), but now I attend nearly all of them. Highly recommended.

Mark boost! Seems like a genuinely nice guy. Class was 3 midterms and a final, all multiple choice. READ THE TEXT, ALL CHAPTERS COVERED. Almost all q's come from it, make sure you memorize stats, material is not boring/confusing, practice on mypsychlab with the terms. A few tough Qs but 100s are possible. 3% bonus for journals/research partic.

Martin is a great prof! Very entertaining and his lectures were very informative. He is humorous and always answers any questions. Very knowledgeable in his field and is clear about his teachings! His class is hard for those who don't put time into studying. I would recommend him to anyone for psych 120 and 121!

Martin is really ideal for first year students. Show up, listen, and study like expected and get good grades. Doesn't baby you or hold your hand, good syllabus and clear lectures. Really outlines what you need to know, his goal is to prepare you for the final. Is aware of his students, even in 100+ classes. Took Psy120 and he recognized me in 121.

Prof is funny and helpful but found the class to be more along the line of a sociology class . Text used is American so some of the material did not really relate to Canada. Lectures are straight from the text but be prepared to read it as exams feature some questions that he does not cover in the material in class. TA grades papers hard.

Super good prof, he makes his lectures actually interesting by adding personal experience and is very funny.

Rempel is like the best Teacher, I ever had. Doesn't mean it's easy with him, but his explenation and stuff is just great. Really like him!

Martin is an down to earth person. He is passionate about his students. His lectures are clear and intersting. He is the best first year psychology instructor. very possible to get +85 in this class if you put work in it.

Rempel is a very good prof. All his notes are directly from the textbook so you don't really need to attend the class but know the textbook thoroughly. I found him and entertaining lecturer and he's even funny sometimes. Would recommend and take from him again.

Great guy- his notes are clear and to the point but you'll wanna go to the lectures too because his examples are very helpful. he gives you good answers if u ask after class. tests are well done and fair, no stress. he's pretty funny and genuine too. i'd be happy to have this prof again!

He taught concepts clearly and reinforced them with examples that we as students can relate to. He also supplemented lectures with interesting videos about studies and/or people with disorders.

Rempel is one of the best profs for first year psych. He is a knowledgeable and funny man. His slides are literally from the textbook, but he still makes content interesting in lecture through videos and examples. His midterms were quite difficult but final was easier and a lot of midterm questions were recycled into the final. Highly recommended!

Lectures kinda boring, but if you have the textbook there is no need to go to class. However if you do go to class you must still review the text because there are some things he doesn't cover in class. Tests are all MC, but questions asked sometimes don't make sense. Overall decent prof.

Martin is a good teacher and his class is very mediocre. You don't have to attend because he posts his slideshows and reads from the textbook, but it helps you store the information. It's not a stressful class at all but I'd recommend getting a textbook with mypsychlab and utilizing that tool, its very helpful.

Attendance to Professor Martin Rempel's lectures were optional to attend, because he posted his slides online and mostly just repeats whatever is in the textbook anyways. However, he usually adds a dash of humor in class. The course was fair. Multiple choice midterms and finals. Just study and read what ya gotta read. You'll likely pass. Good prof

Cool guy

the slides are pretty much all you need

I thought he was an okay prof. You don't have to go to class because questions from tests come from the textbook. With that being said, reading the textbook is a must. Some questions from tests are hard because you have to really apply and understand what you have learned from the class. I thought he was hot too lol

This guy is a hoot! Not only does he make jokes in regards to the material, he's also capable of laughing at himself. Take this guy's classes if at all possible!!

His powerpoints have nothing to do with the midterms, so read the textbook inside and out. Hilarious professor (if you like dad jokes), and is quite clear of course material. Easy to talk to about the midterm or any questions that you have. Your final mark is based off 2 midterms and a final exam.

Rempel is down to earth and a solid lecturer. It was a small class so discussion was easy and engaging. Lots of shared humour. Incredibly easy to talk to.

I rarely went to class so I can't comment on Rempel's teaching, but the class was pretty easy. Make sure to read the textbook completely and I recommend getting the MyPsychLab for the quizzes and videos. When I did go to class Rempel just read from the textbook basically which is why I stopped going, but he was funny with little side comments

He is hilarious and can make a lecture interesting. Attendance isn't mandatory since he takes everything from the textbook. He is caring and approachable outside of class.

Dr. Remple is very intelligent and gives great lectures! He uses humour and has good exams. Really would recommend.

Phenomenal prof, all in all 10/10

Good, easy class! Just read the text inside out and you will do fine

Good prof. Read the textbook to study and you will do good. It is not necessary to go to class since his lectures come straight from the textbook. Is a nice guy and is entertaining to listen to. It is a lot of information to try to memorize so give yourself a good amount of study time before tests.

He doesn't just read from the textbook, but I would recommend taking it to class and underlining what he says. Shows real life examples and has fun with the material. Made time fly by!

Attend the lectures and read the textbook then you'll do well!

Study the textbook inside and out and you should be good to go! He posts slides on blackboard so everything is accessible outside of class

Read the textbook and you'll do well

Interesting material, come to class and participate and you should be good!

He simplifies the material so it's easier to understand, and he makes it funny. 10/10 would recommend you take him, he's a good lecturer.

Asks very specific questions from the textbook. Very entertaining and funny

I think Martin was a good prof. He kept the lectures interesting, and talked about stuff outside of the PowerPoint notes. He does use the textbook, and doesn't exactly specify what you need to read, but you are asked questions from the textbook on exams. So reading the textbook in full in probably a good idea. There is Participatory Pool for bonus.

I thought he was a good prof and had reasonable exams.

Martin was a good professor, considering he took over for MacGregor. It would of been more helpful if we kept using the launchpad, but there was no chance of that. His slides are basically right from the text book. Midterms trick questions. Overall Class average was pretty low, showing the difficulty.

Martin was a great professor. His content was interesting and he was light hearted and funny. However Martin reads directly from the textbook so attendance isn't neccesarily mandatory. The use of Revel helped a lot and the online quizzes helped get a better understanding. If you have a choice I suggest taking one of his classes!

A straightforward prof. Basically just recited each topic from lecture slides/textbook from memory and then gave examples so that you understood it all. The content wasnt too hard, anything you didnt get you could easily find in the textbook. Showed up almost every class wearing double denim and an earring in one ear, an absolute legend.

Amazing and funny

I really enjoyed Psychology 121 with Rempel. I enjoyed the laid back lectures that were predicted by the chapters of the textbook and how on most Fridays we watched Ted Talks. The midterms are not necessarily easy but are not bad either considering the simplistic material. Overall under-rated Prof.

Pretty underrated prof but there's lots of reading to do and lots of self teaching if you're taking the class online.
