He is one of the greatest professors that I have ever had. I highly recommend him. I had fun in his class and I learned a lot too.
he is an awesome prof!! he allows us to debate the material rather than listening to him lecture. his reviews for tests are VERY straight forward and he's helpful if you have any questions. he really forces you to participate in the class adn group work. i highly recommend him!
Dont take his class! He gives waaay too much work unnecessarily. He also grades papers on his opinion of how well the student can write. In other words a "good" writer will be graded harder than a "weaker" one. I'm not making this up, he said so himself in class. Just avoid his class and get the easy A with another teacher...you won't regret it
I loved his class! Almost everyday there's group work so other than tests there really isn't anything individually done. I would highly reccomend his class.
HE IS AWESOME! He makes it really easy to get a good grade, if you show up, and are willing to look over his study guides you will ace the tests. Beware though, if he finds out that you are scared of something or something makes you cry, he WILL use it against you in front of the class. He doesn't really lecture, he has conversations with the class
He did an experiment this past semester where we didn't take any tests. He's a nice man, just a tad too eccentric of a teaching style. And if he makes your groups teach the class textbook chapters, run.
This is the best professor I have had! His classes are fairly easy as long as you don't expect a cakewalk. Most of the assigned work is given to you at the begining of the semester so you have plenty of time to do it. I would highly recomend taking his class - It is very interesting and easy!
Prof. Diggs is a GREAT teacher. He gave us options and let our class choose what kind of work we were going to do for the semester. He makes the subject very interesting and gets the entire class involved in discussions.
Took his intro to Pysch class it was one of the funnest classes i've been in. He made pyschology really interesting and would get into discussion about any topic you wanted to as long as it related loosley to pyschology. Class was pretty easy if you study a little bit and do the lab/paper.I waited till the last day to do lab/paper and I got a97.5
Mr. diggs is cool. I failed psychology twice before acing his class. He uses great examples to help you learn. And gives you a review before every test. Take Mr. diggs' class.
Professor Diggs is AWESOME!!!! He's the best psychology teacher I've ever have. He explains all the subjects very clearly and interesting. And before every test, he will give you a review which helps a lot! Take his class and you will never regret.
If you take psychology, make sure you're in Diggs' class! I looked forward to it every day. You will learn tons and have so much fun. He's very nice, funny, cool, and genuine. This isn't one of those classes where everyone is bored and silent; he'll make you want to participate. One of my favorite teachers.
Great professor! Go to class take notes, Do the test review and major paper and I don't know how you couldn't get an A. There is a test about every 2 weeks. The test review tells you exactly what to know. Major paper due at the end of the course. Didn't have to do tons of reading. Would strongly recommend this professor
Professor Diggs is a great progessor! He knows his stuff and is willing to help when needed. I highly recommend taking him. He changed my major to psychology!! I loved his class!
Took Human Sexuality. Mr. Diggs was amazing! He made the class really fun especially for a night class. Definitely take him!
He is an awesome teacher. He explains it and teaches you what on the test. Test are a little weirdly written. but if you go and study a little then its a for sure A.
AWESOME TEACHER! very good at what he does. knows what he's talking about. he loves what he does and that makes the class 1000 times better because he makes it fun... he put it into terms i could understand. tells awesome stories to make sure you get the lecture...by far the most fun/interesting class ive taken! plan on taking more of his classes!
I took Professor Diggs for Life Span Psy. He is the best professor I have ever had. Love Him!! He is sincere, knows his stuff, makes the class interesting and is very available via email to answer questions anytime. I am taking his human sexuality class next semester even though I don't need it because I enjoyed his class so much.
I loved Matt Diggs, his class was perfect for me.
The BEST class I have ever taken! Easy, but be prepared to do a final paper at the end of the semester.
Diggs set the standard for all future professors! i have taken him twice and he is the best professor i have ever had! he makes class intresting and you will honestly enjoy commig to his class! there is a paper at the end of the semester but you have the whole semester to work on it! take Diggs every chance you get, you wont regret it
Professor Diggs is the most interesting, fun, to the point professor! He cares and show a great interest in psychology. I recomend him to any student who needs or wants to take a Psychology class! He will make it all worth it! Have fun!
Great Professor! Keeps class interesting and fun especially when some subject matter isn't as interesting. I would definitely take him again.
Prof. Diggs is a man of superlatives--very funny, very approachable, very tall, very enthusiastic about psychology. I learned quite a lot about myself and other people because of his course, and I had a *lot* of fun in the process. His lectures were interesting and hilarious! Would definitely recommend him for any course he teaches!
Warning!Don't take this professor on-line.Your first test will be on Orientation(syllabus).What professors, give a test from a syllabus?Sound like a saint with extra credits he gives you, but when you read his syllabus it is worst then Steven King horror books.14 quizzes,3 papers , late, unacceptable.:(My 3.7 GPA is screwed taking this class.
I really enjoyed this online class. He is really good at communicating and clarifying assignments. He wants his students to do well and allows plenty of opportunity to do so. You can make an A but you have to put in the time to EARN the A. Read the book, start the final paper early and do the extra credit; you'll do great.
Took it on-line/summer&it was too much to learn in one month.Very knowledgeable with Psychology.Very solid on his(ontime)rules with,14 Quizzes,3papers!Last paper,you must write 3500words,quoting10-15times.Quizzes can be retake again but it doesn't make any different.Do good on those quizzes!An A,you'll get.I stared out badly,&I ended up with a D :(
AMAZING TEACHER! Greatest teacher I'd've ever had. You'll want to go to class. Tests aren't too hard, and he has really good review sheets. He is crazy helpful, and is always willing to email you and help you out. Even got an encouraging email. Book is really only needed for the final paper, but is useful for tests.
I LOVED HIS CLASS!! I took his class online in the summer. You can retake the quizzes to bring up your grade. He is super helpful and sent me a few very encouraging emails. I really enjoyed his class and will definitely take another one of his classes!!!
Professor Diggs is hands down my favorite professor I have EVER had! I took general, life-span, and abnormal psych with him. I now want to major in psychology because of him! I never wanted to miss a class, his teaching methods are amazing, and his test reviews are helpful! He is a very forward person though and will not tolerate any BS, love it!
Taken Diggs for 3 psychology classes and enjoyed everyone! Psych major here and wouldn't take any other psych professor at Collin. He teaches and you learn! Test are challenging but not HARD! Show up, do the assignments and participate! Have fun!
Excellent instructor! Down to earth, interested in subject so makes it interesting to the class. Extremely fair, posts reviews & all lecture notes/PP on Blackboard. Do not be intimidated by posts about Forrest Gump paper - show up to class, pay attention & you will get an A
AMAZING TEACHER! HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING HE WANTS FROM YOU FROM THE START AND EXPECTS YOU TO KEEP UP. I TOOK HIS ONLINE SUMMER CLASS AND LOVED IT SO MUCH I'M TAKING HIM FOR LIFESPAN PSYCH IN THE FALL. AN A IS ATTAINABLE IF YOU WORK FOR IT.
BEST PROFESSOR EVERR! He's my absolute favorite! I won't take any other Psychology professor other than him! His class is so enjoyable! I've taken his General Psych and Human Sexuality courses and enjoyed both! Such an easy A if you do the work! He always responds to emails quick no matter what time or day! Such a fun and friendly guy!!
I took his hybrid class, he was sensational! He kept me engaged and explained all the topics well. His class is not difficult if you study. He was quick to learn all of our names made us feel like he cared. I'd highly recommend him to anyone! I wish he could teach all my Psych courses!
Professor Diggs is one of the best professors i have had. I took his online summer pysc class. He posts a full calender and explanation of what is expected and due by each date. He even sends reminders throughout the course of upcoming homework and quizzes that are due in the upcoming week. Easy A!
Prof. Diggs is my 4th awesome prof. His passion of teaching is in his heart, he cares about his students, he gives lots of PLUS points so, if you failed his class-it will be your fault! Go take him and you'll love attending his class every single day!!!
Mr. Diggs is a great professor. His assignments have you on your toes and always thinking. Even though I received a D in his class I felt like it was well earned. I have a hard time studying for test but the assignments got me on track and he really knows his work. Great job!
Great class and great instructor who takes the time to give you all the info you need. Is alot of work but you have decent amount of time to get it done each week. Looking forward to my next semester with him
Professor Diggs is awesome! His lectures are easy to follow, make it VERY easy to take notes. He also provides a full review sheet weeks ahead of time that lets you know every single thing that will be on the test. He provides lots of real-life examples that relate to psychology that make the subject matter very easy to understand! He is awesome!
Hybrid class included class attendance and online assignments. This included 1 2000 minimum word paper, 2 exams, 5 quizzes, online communications with students, and other online writing assignments for a total potential 1000 points (100%). Professor Diggs is fair. He is not out to fail students. Missing class can cost a letter grade so attend.
I would not recommend this teacher for this class because there was so much work which basically took up more time than actually going to the classes every day. His quizzes and exams were very difficult and I would recommend taking this class in person.
Hard work and reading the book pays off in this class. He is really clear on what he expects of the students and even gives extra credit each week! You also have chances to retake quizzes online and boost your average scores. If you don't get an A or B in this course it's due to your own laziness. I learned a lot. Best online professor I've had.
Professor Diggs is outstanding, He gives great feedback, lots of instruction, willing to go the extra mile to help a student, answers questions typically the same day for his on line classes. I will be taking other classes taught by Professor Diggs, He gets it, He understands what students need and want in a class and he gives it to you
Super easy course, if you attempt the work it's an easy A
RUN RUN Dont even think about it! You'll fail miserably. He makes you watch Forest Gumb movie and some online clips that are useless who has time for this? He always talks about his past class making fun of students and shows you their conversations. He is a joke dont take him, keep looking for a different lecturer i beg of you.
Prof Diggs starts the class off with what his expectations are, so don't say you didn't know what was expected. This class is broken up into 5 modules 3 weeks long. Each module has a discussion board post, answering 2 questions and 1 exam. There is a paper based on a book of your choice (he gives you a suggestion list). Put in the work, get an A
Prof. Diggs subtracts any words quoted (incl. question prompts) in determining if the required word count on the final project (20% of course grade) is met. A poor grade is given otherwise. He doesnt mention this grading method to students nor applies it to the 5 previous lab assignments (5% of course grade each). Would NOT recommend this teacher!
Tests are extremely hard but able to repeat (he averages your scores). He has a paper final that was pretty easy as long as you read the book. He's really nice and easy to contact. I left knowing the material.
He is awesome. if you dont understand, he will explain and help. you will have to read and pay attention but as long as you show up and follow hs directions he is super easy to understand. i will be taing moe classes from him. he is never rude and loves to teach
Ok- so I took a hybrid class. We met once a week and would be given online homework the other day! Semester isn't over yet- hoping for an A. BUT he's a really cool teacher! Made the class interesting and made you WANT to learn. I never fell asleep in his class. Go to class! Take notes! Do Homework! You'll get an A! Does NOT accept late work.
He him self was pretty great, that work he gives is super hard I wouldn't suggest you taking many course while you take this one. There isn't a lot of work. But the work there is I found very difficult.. He even gives us 3 times to do the quizzes and I still couldn't find myself passing them and I did read the chapters. He's very nice class is hard
Lots of reading but the material is all exceptionally interesting. It is a great book and if you stick with it, you will do well! A very relaxed and friendly teacher that is fair in all assignments.
He was very responsive of questions. He was very clear of his grading processes. If you missed more than 3 classes, he drops you a letter grade. The lectures completely cover the assignment due that night.
I took 2 online express courses with Professor Diggs, if you do not read the book you will not pass. PSYC 1300 - 2 chances on quizzes, a few written essays and extra credit. 2301 - 3 chances on quizzes and a bit more writing. He is very available to you and gives very clear directive as to what he wants. I highly recommend!
excellent professor, really cares about student's success. loves human sexuality, will bring it into a lot of lectures. ridiculously fast grader, and gives great feedback. hybrid class has only online tests and quizzes, open book. final was optional. major grade is a personal analysis paper (research alt. if wanted) NEED BOOK to cite in this paper.
I absolutely loved having Diggs as a professor. He was always fast at answering questions or giving back grades. I learned so much during the human sexuality course and I am currently on a wait list to take him for another psych class. He is very clear in everything he is wanting. There is a lot of work in the class but I HIGHLY recommend him!
Awesome professor! Great sense of humor and clear on his expectations. NO LATE WORK ACCEPTED!! Also the final paper is harder than you think so please do yourself a favor and skip procrastination! I would definitely recommend him!
Professor Diggs is amazing! Highly recommend taking him if you get the chance! He offers up so much extra credit, it is very hard to not get an A!
After finishing his express online class I was a little disappointed. The whole online class is just full of quizzes and some of them can be a bit challenging. Not only the quizzes suck but the last assignment is even more dumb! We had to write a 10+ page essay that was worth 30% of your grade. So be ready to stress for no reason!!!! Never again.
Prof Diggs is great. You take one quiz per week for the most part over each chapter. He offers a lot of extra credit so take advantage of that! He's quick to respond to any questions and the 2000 word essay (mine ended up being 4000) was actually fun to write. Would definitely take him again.
Prof Diggs is great. From day one, I knew what to expect after I gave the syllabus a serious read. All the deadlines are laid out, you get 3 attempts at all the quizzes, the final paper is long but very much doable, and he responds to emails in a timely manner. If you read the book, you'll get an easy A. I took the class over 8wks, lots of reading.
I took life span class with professor Diggs, very helpful professor, always response to emails in a timely manner (less than 24 hrs).
I took the 3 weeks course. There was a ton to read, even during the weekends 2 chapters per day. But I really enjoyed the feedback from the professor, learned a kit!
Professor Diggs is the best Psych Professor. I had another Psych professor that was awful which made me withdraw the class. Theres mostly quizzes in this class and lots of extra credit opportunities. There is an essay at the end of the semester which should be easy if you have the textbook, I got an A.
He is so kind and helpful to all of us. Take his class you will learn alot in it. OMG the best professor.
Professor Diggs is so kind and helpful and he even cares about us . Please take the class and dont be lazy like some other students are lazy. Do your work and be on time to class.
Love this professor! Very helpful and relateable. He is always willing to help and has clear expectations, nothing will sneak up on you. Has plenty of extra credit opportunities and great stories to tell. His encouragement is awesome and I really loved him and this course.
Take his class he is caring omg the best the person who wrote the dean didnt study omg study people study.
All Mr. Diggs assigns is quizzes and papers and doesnt teach a single thing about psychology. He just tells you to read the chapter and then a fat quiz on it. What sucks is he doesnt take the time to actually teach you. I took this class to maybe have a career in psychology but he wasted a semester of mine. Do not take him.
I took his course my first semester in college, it was online and it was the best choice I made. He creates lecture videos with good pointers so that when you go to read the textbook chapters, you're super prepared for the quizzes, takes lots of notes! Weekly extra credit opportunities and a fun essay at the end. Definitely recommend him!
Absolutely a stellar Professor! He is passionate about what he teaches and it comes through in every interaction. He clearly lays out his expectations and grading policies, which are there to help you succeed. If you submit something in a timely manner, he will grade it quickly. If you are struggling and email him, he will give prompt feedback.
Professor Diggs was a great teacher, the first few chapters made me feel like this class was going to be difficult-thankfully I was wrong! you get 3 attempts on each quiz and there is a final essay you work on the last half of the semester. He gives a lot of extra credit opportunities, pace your reading of the chapters as some are very long.
This professor was great! Gives you plenty of time to meet the deadlines and requirements and provides many tools and resources to help you succeed and do your best. It may seem like a lot of first, but pacing yourself week by week will reduce that stress level. Would 100% take his class again.
I like Matthew Diggs, because he is super clear about what he teaches in Psychology 2301 and was able to ask him for how he rated my paper. I recommend that you to take him for EDUC 1300: Learning Framework, you will not regret taking him as a professor when it comes to taking his classes.
He is probably the most helpful professor ever. Anytime I had a question through email, he answered quickly and thoroughly. He kind of has a weird grading scale/rubric, but he will remind you of it several times so you have the opportunity to do good on every assignment. Pay attention to his announcements and do the extra credit that he offers.
Very great professor! I took his express course so there were about 5 quizzes to complete each week. Along with some discussions. He offers extra credit opportunities so take advantage of them. There is a final paper at the end of the class which you can submit early to receive feedback from him. I would highly recommend Professor Diggs!
Very easy class and an even better professor. He is extremely quick to respond to emails and gives very clear and detailed feedback especially on papers and discussion boards. As long as you try in this class, it's very easy to get an A. Lots of extra credit opportunities too
He assumes every good writing is AI generated.
He provides great feedback. However, he is AI paranoid. Scrutinizing every good essay claiming it is AI generated so be vigilant. I wish I had read some of these reviews before choosing his class.
Professor Diggs was amazing, there was so much that I loved about his class, he is kind and caring, assignments must be submitted on time NO EXCEPTIONS. But he is funny, has a great personality! There is a lot to read; the course is fun! All grading criteria is very clear! Assignments include discussions, quizzes, assignments, and the final paper!
Professor Diggs was amazing. He walked you through the course every step of the way, there should be no reason anyone fails his courses as he literally sets you up for success. He does not accept any late work except for maybe 3 circumstances. He was great
Mr Diggs will assume anything you write on your own is AI generated, he would even assume this review is AI generated. The work load is confusing and heavy. Maybe he's a good teacher in person but online...is a different story.
He is a good professor, has clear grading style, will state he wants a minimum for the assignments but will expect beyond. Do not do the bare minimum. Has lots of extra credit opportunity. I made a good grade.
