The class consisted of 3 test and a final exam, no homework or classwork. With that being said the lectures were very good and educational, if you pay attention, study and show up you should be doing great. Before test reviews are also very helpful . There is also a lot of extra credit offered during lectures. Definitely would take the class again.
Professor Rudolph is always making jokes and creating fun ways to remember the content. Not a stressful class, no homework/classwork. He offers A LOT of extra credit. Exams are not bad at all if you go to class, actively pay attention, and study you will do amazing. Has a review before any exam, which is REALLY helpful. Overall, amazing professor!
Professor Rudolph is an amazing psych teacher, I'm glad I had him for my first semester. Homework is not mandatory but showing up to his lectures is important for the tests. He offers a ton of extra credit opportunities, makes class entertaining, and provides a review session before each exam. Show up every lecture and you'll pass the class!
If you read the chapter before coming into lecture and review the slides, you'll understand the topics and pass the class. There are also opportunities to get extra credit by participating in class which is great. Professor Rudolph is very understanding and is there to help you understand the chapters. I would definitely take this class again.
The class consists of 3 tests and a final exam, but one exam is dropped and there is no homework or classwork. With that being said, the lectures were very good and educational. Lots of extra credit is offered during lectures that help. Make sure to read the slides because the exams are based on the lecture slides. Great professor overall!
Professor Rudolph is a very fun, witty Professor and is very skilled at making the class engaged. He offers lots of opportunities to keep grades up along with the way he lectures classes, and he is a overall good person to help you learn and enjoy Psychology. 10/10 would recommend!
interesting lectures. fair tests. funny prof
Best class I've taken in my first semester at Hunter. The professor lectures greatly and explains everything very nicely. I constantly improved in the exams, just make sure to do the readings and take good notes from the lectures in class and you'll do great!
In the class there are 3 tests and one final exam. The lowest test grade also gets dropped. There is no homework or class work. Everything is simple and easy to understand. The professor is also very funny and nice! All you have to do is pay attention and take notes. I would definitely take this class again.
He is a cool and easy going professor. His lectures are understandable and easy to keep up with as long as you're reading the materials.
Rudolph is a really amazing professor, he makes the psychology lectures as enjoyable as possible, and sometimes throws in his own studies outside of teaching. It's a neat spin on what could've been a dreary intro psych class, but he makes lectures his own. He's genuinely very caring, and his exams are extremely straight forward. Take his class!
Professor Rudolph teaches interestingly. We can get extra credit by raising our hands and answering the question. He is also open to answering questions and the confusion we have. You would do great if you pay attention in class.
The professor made lectures fun and engaging all the while teaching and explaining the topic for everyone to understand. Grades are based on tests, so attending class is helpful as he goes over each chapter and answers any confusion. I would recommend Professor to anyone who needs to take a PSYCH 100 class because it has been a great experience.
extra credit really helps and he gives lots of opportunitites to get it. you can pay attention or dont cause if you can either read the slides he posts or read the textbook youll pass his tests. hes super nice too.
The class is pretty straightforward- no homework as long as you read the textbook, there's 4 exams and you can get lots of extra credit. The proffesor is also really engaging and funny!
Professor Rudolph made me love psychology!! There are no homework, 4 exams, students can get 10 extra credits for each exams by answering easy question. His lectures are very interesting, he explains everything with great examples, he posts helpful slides for that chapter, the exam questions are mostly from the slides and pretty easy(If you study)
Professor Rudolph made me love psychology! His lectures are amazing and his extra credits are the best. Super easy to get and there are no assignments????? His class is graded by the 4 exams only and the exams are all multiple choice. If you study and read his super detailed slides you'll pass the tests. Overall, super great professor.
This professor was one of my favorites. If you need help or something to be explained, he would. Most of the tests are based off the slides and what happens in the lecture.
Professor Rudolph is a great teacher. There's no homework or classwork, so there's plenty of time to go over notes and study for tests. He's also very nice and make the class very engaging.
He is a very good professor and is always able to help out and he always answers any questions you have !
Loved this guy!!
he gives extra credit during class for questions we answer in class, and uses real-life experiences as examples to help us understand the concept. He is willing to help in any way.
he was so nice even tho i was doing so ass in his class.
He is so understanding and makes the class interesting.
BEST PSYCH PROFESSOR EVER!! He's very clear at explaining ALL the psych terms, he definitely is very understanding! There is extra credit opportunity through participation, and the best way to get a high grade is attending his classes. Listen to his lectures and take NOTES they will be so helpful!
Super amazing Psych Professor, who is really caring about his students! His lectures are fantastic and I truly learn so much in his class that I can apply in real world situations! His exams are exactly like his lectures, so attend class and participate!!
If you're taking Psych 100 make sure its Prof Rudolph. Easy to understand lectures, extra credit, jokes, interactive class, everything you would want in a lecture class. As long as you study the material a bit you should receive high grades on the exams too.
Honestly an amazing professor. He really wants the students to succeed and help them out. Also, he really's funny. The class is just really enjoyable.
Very nice, funny and understanding. Cares about his students understanding the lectures and topics, he also gives extra credit and encourages us to participate. He is very flexible and gives amazing and very entertaining lectures.
Professor Rudolph is amazing and keeps students very engaged with the material. He is super helpful whenever you have trouble understanding something. He makes everyone enthusiastic about topics and helps us connect personally to what we're learning. Definitely recommend him!
He is very understanding and fair.
He is so savvy in explaining the concepts of the course. He teaches with real-life examples and give everyone a chance to participate. He is very approachable, he seems like a friend.
Truly an amazing professor. He cares deeply about the subject material and you can really tell he wants his students to succeed. Very easy to work with and open to questions or critique (even though theres not much you would want to critique about this class). Overall a 10/10 class and would recommend you take as its an easy pass :)
He is one of the best Psychology professors who really cares about his students. He always make sure that his students are grasping whatever he is teaching. He gives lot of extra credits for participation. There are 3 exams and one final; he drops the lowest one.
This class has been one of the most interesting classes I've had at Hunter. I was always able to stay engaged in classes and the environment that was created made me comfortable enough to participate in class. The content in class was also very easy to follow and allowed me to understand topics I struggled to grasp.
The Professor, gives extra credit if you participate and the slides are very helpful for the exam
Amazing professor and really cares about whether you understand the lesson. Gives extra credit for participation and slides are useful for exams
Great professor who truly respects his students.
Professor Rudolph is incredible. He has renewed my love for psychology and will do so for you too.
Professor Rudolph presents the material in an engaging, thoughtful, and often very funny way. He really cares that his students understand the material, and "translates" what could have been a very rote textbook into digestible chunks. Show up and take good notes and you'll do fine.
A very kind professor who is entertaining and is passionate about his work! It was always really fun to go to his classes because his humor helped me forget that the class was at 7 PM. If you talk to him outside of class, he is just as kind as he is when teaching. Tests are not too hard and he uploads the slides after class to make it easier.
Really Cool lectures are fun and informative. Tip: if you attend lectures, you will retain and learn more than just reading the textbook. And the reviews are VERY helpful.
Took this class for fun and it was the best decision I ever made. The professor cares about the class and he keeps you engaged.
Your grade is based on 3 tests. As long as you read the slides you should be good! He's super funny too.
Prof Rudolph makes class so interesting and fun. His lectures are very straight forward and his exams are based on the lectures and notes you take. Overall I would 100% take him again his lectures are not boring at all and make you want to learn more about the class.
Kind and simple professor, makes it clear how to do well in class and has a unique approach to teaching material.
I love Professor Rudolph! His class is fairly easy and he really cares about his students. I found his class really fun to engage with, and he would always put some easy questions on tests so that we do not risk failing the class. I recommend this professor if you are taking PSYCH 101! Abigail Cross
He is a great professor very straight forward with the material.
His classes are fairly easy and provides chances for extra credit. Very understandable and makes his lessons worth attending. If you are able to take his class, do it!!!
I'm going to miss him so much. That's it. Take Professor Rudolph's class. You won't regret it.
This is the most caring, and straightforward professor!! He makes lectures easy to grasp and takes the time to explain lectures or anything that you may be confused about. Also, he makes learning very easy, fun, and engaging... you can never get bored in his class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Professor Rudolph clearly explains and demonstrates the reading material. He listens to students and answers all questions and/or concerns. Displays his passion for psychology through teachings. Very informed on the subjected, and provides students with studying methods.
You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you choose not to take Prof Rudolph's PSYCH 100 course. It's a fairly easy class, graded only on your best three out of four exams. Get ready to learn psychology with engaging discussions, real world and relatable examples, extra credit opportunities, music videos, plenty of jokes, and elephant fun facts!
Honestly one of the best classes I've taken. He's smart, funny, interesting. The classes are fun. Take him!!!
Such a good professor and a fun person. Easy to ask questions to and talk to in general. Tell him to talk about elephants.
He's an absolutely amazing professor who actively uses the things he teaches us in real world scenarios. In order to pass the tests, it's urged you read the textbook and study your notes and he makes it known as well. He's incredibly considerate and passionate about what he does so I can't recommend him any less.
Professor Rudolph knows how to engage the class by using demonstrations, memes, music, and videos, in his lectures. These all have helped me remember the content pretty well. Tests are moderate in difficulty you just need to pay attention. Overall, I've had a great experience learning with Professor Rudolph and hope he teaches more Psych classes.
This class is very straightforward and easy as long as you pay attention to the lectures and read the textbook.
As long as you went to the lectures and took notes, the class was fairly easy and fun. Professor included many hands-on activities in class which you should be present for because he'll ask about what the activities taught on the test. My favorite class so far, even if it was the one I had at the most inconvenient time, it was worth it and engaging
I can't recommend Professor Rudolph enough! I'm not a very good test taker and get nervous on tests but he's very clear on what will be the easiest course of action to be more prepared. He uses a lot of what he teaches us in real-world settings and makes it memorable. He's truly someone who cares about what he teaches and enjoys helping.
I genuinely had an excellent experience with Professor Rudolph. His lectures kept the class engaged, and he was very clear about what would be on exams. Attendance isn't mandatory but some lectures hold in-class activities that may be on the tests. He is very funny and I couldn't recommend his class any more.
Professor Rudolph's class was amazing! Attending the classes and taking notes made the exams easy. He used music and in-class activities to explain the course material in a witty way, making it easy to understand and remember. This class is definitely worth taking - highly recommended!
Would recommend taking this class. Great professor and kept the class very interesting.
This semester's best class! The professor was very caring towards students, and the in-class activities and notes allowed me to understand the material more clearly, which made me do well in exams.
Professor Rudolph made the course materials easy to understand and kept the class interesting. I would highly recommend taking his class.
Nothing to complain about.
attend lecture to help you know what to study for your examinations. Prof Rudolph will also offer you extra credit if you participate in class by answering questions based on the lectures, so read the lecture sides before the lecture to know how to answer the questions. I strongly encourage you to take his course. Easy grade
W professor
he is a good professor he starts his lectures with songs about what we are learning in a certain topic. Overall he is fair, you should take his course
one of my best professors very understanding and he makes it very easy to get extra credit in class. very funny class, just make sure you study and memorize the terms this is a pyschology class. overall I really enjoyed taking this class and the professor is very nice and fair.
Hilarious professor he make silly jokes in front of the class that is related to the topic to keep us engage. He gave us break time, extra credit. Tip always read the chapter beforehand. He's amazing professor 10/10 Great class definitely would take this again.
Excellent professor. I definitely learned a lot especially for the exam tip (self-efficacy). My exam score was better after that.
This professor is very patient and responsible. He can help every student and give exact answers to the questions raised.
As a person who dread morning classes, he made the 8:30am on a Saturday worth it.
Professor Rudolph is one of the best professors I've taken at Hunter and I'm a veteran Hunter student. It's obvious that he loves his job and wants to connect with his students. He's on your team and doesn't play the -all knowing- professor. He doesn't want his students to feel intimidated or judged. I learned something useful in every class.
Great professor
Would take again!
Would take this course again and if he have other courses def would take all his courses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BEST PROFESSOR !!!!!!!! for psychology . Made the lectures fun for us to learn and study. There also extra credits opportunity for every lectures by answering questions based on the lecture. You will know what to study for the exams.
Best Professor ! Def learned a lot in his class and def would take his course again.
Best professor I've had so far. Lectures were easy and fun to follow especially for a morning class. Exams were based from the lectures just need to memorize the information.
His class is really straightforward and no surprise when taking the exam because its based on the lectures sides and some of the things he will do in class as a examples for his slides so recommend to come to class to not miss anything important to ace the exam and know what will be on the exam. He really caring towards all the students
HE'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! He actually makes learning fun and easy, his class is so nice to be in and the exams are VERY easy if you study. If it were possible to do all my classes with him I would in a heartbeat. He is a gem prof, whoever gave him a 2.0 is salty and dumb af. Anyways, take him you won't regret it!!!!
You learn so much in his class that is relevant to everyday life, he is an amazing college professor, not anything like you would expect at Hunter and compared to other profs. he truly is the best and you can tell he cares. and to whoever gave him a low rating but still got an A? you an odd ball lmao weirdoooo
The best psychology professor everrr compared to the one I took last semester that I had to dropped cuz of the way the other professor teaches were so bad but Professor Rudolph made the lectures fun and cool to understand and feel free to ask him any questions he will def answer it. Exams are based on the lectures note so make sure to read them .
Best professor! He really makes class engaging and learning fun. Provides every student equal opportunities and resources to do well on exams. You can tell he is knowledgable and passionate about what he teaches. Would recommend!
def take his class again !
Super caring towards all his students and amazing lectures sides and the way he teaching the class.
10/10 best professor that cares a lot for his students and allows us to have 10-15 breaks between each chapter and you should read the lecture sides to get extra credits . Not so hard to study for the exams cuz everything is on the lectures slides .
cool and chill professor ! 10/10 should all take his class
12/10 professor !
Great professor! Made it easier to learn and study psychology. Test questions were straightforward too
Best psych professor so far. Easy to follow lectures, didn't really have homework and tests were ok.
His teaching style is engaging and approachable. Answers every student's questions in clear ways. Actually made it interesting for me to study.
10/10 recommend this professor for psych. Heard he might actually teach other classes too so I'll take it to make up credits I'm missing.
Great Professor for psychology! Super caring and helpful professor and the class overall was great and learned a lot. Exam are not super hard all based on the lecture slides.
Exams are based off the lectures. He uses real-world examples and even asks students to go forward for a one-to-one interaction to explain complex concepts. Really fun lecture!
You can get extra credit on exams if you participate. Participation is really easy just by raising your hand to answer questions. Doesn't really have homework in this class except for research requirements but that is easy too. Attendance isn't mandatory but it's still best to come because he explain things that may or may not be on the exams.
Very chill professor. 100% recommend his class. You can definitely pass this class if you study.
100% recommend to take his class ! You will learned a lot and def ace the exams if you study and come to come to knows what exactly to study for. Extra credits ! For answering questions
Super cool professor. Extra Credits opportunity in this class and breaks between each chapter. That super caring
Amazing professor, There are a lot of extra credit opportunities if you are okay with participating. The class is very straightforward, 3 exams and 1 final lowest grade gets dropped.
Amazing teacher with a personality. Class is never boring, and he wants you to succeed. Just make sure you read the chapters b4 class and show up everyday to cover everything you need for the exams.
Very interesting and fun lectures! He makes the class interactive and gives extra credit ("bonus points") for answering questions in class. 3 tests and a final, and the lowest test grade gets dropped. Those are the only grades in the class which is the only negative I have. Otherwise I would highly recommend this professor!
The best class I have taken so far. Lectures are very interesting and entertaining. Definitely take this class with Prof.Rudolph. Just be sure to read material before class and you will do great on exams
His lectures were really interesting and doesnt bore at all, overall really interactive with the material he teaches. His tests sometime can be hard, bt only if you dont know terms, so need decent memoriztion to ace the class. He doesnt take attendance, but if you show up and participate you get bous.
Professor Rudolph is so funny and awesome. Tests were straightforward and minimal HW. Would recommend. Also his tests are soooo funny get ready to LAUGH
Professor Rudolph was so awesome. Even though the class was from 7:00-8:15 PM, he made it super engaging and fun. He's a really good teacher who made the course content understandable, and a really funny and likable person! Tests were very fair. I learned a lot!
a chill guy. leadership style i'd say is transformational (possibly inspired by The Office)
lectures are very interactive and fun. he likes elephants
Out of all the teachers I've had in my life, he's top two—and he's not number two! Such a great guy. There wasn't a single class where I didn't laugh. He genuinely cares about his students and makes sure you understand the readings and coursework. An amazing person, and I had a great time being a part of his class!
Great interactive lectures that you can participate in for extra credit. Always starts his class off with something that connects to the lecture in some way and the tests aren't too crazy. So far in my opinion he is the best teacher at Hunter I have had and I recommend him to anyone wanting to study psych.
Great Professor! He engages with the class extremely well, gives bonus points if you answer questions. The class is based on a textbook so reading the chapters beforehand helps a lot!!!
Professor Rudolph is always prepared and energetic for class. He is very fair with grading and gives so many opportunities for bonus points in class. The slides he uses are helpful, but he does go off on tangents, so if that is distracting for you, then focus more on the reading/slides he posts after the class.
Great Professor. Will help you when you are down.
One of the easiest classes I have taken at Hunter. Exams are very straightforward if you review the slides posted on blackboard. Bonus point opportunities offered every lecture that go towards the exam. Very caring professor and never a dull moment in class.
he is amazing
Not only did I learn a lot from his classes and they were super informational but they were also very fun. He knows how to engage with his students and how to teach them. He also gives a lot of opportunities for students to get bonus which was very helpful. Super great professor!!
I love his lectures. He is funny and his lectures are fun to listen to. Never got bored. He engages student in lectures by asking questions.
Always gave fun and engaging lectures.
I commend Professor Rudolph for his inspiring teaching style in PSYCH 1000. He turns real life moments into lessons, like using a texting incident to explain reinforcement. His live class experiments make learning engaging and memorable. His passion and creativity make lectures fun, relatable, and something I always look forward to.
I loved this class, and the professor played a huge part in that! He made the class easy to understand because he used real-world examples. The conversations during the lectures were insightful and fruitful. I can honestly say that if you attend class and read the textbook, you'll succeed in his class!
The lecture and information about the topics very precise and informative and the way of teaching in the class was very engaging, helpful and very good to understand. I would love to get the professor class again.
In addition to being a very fair instructor, he really cares about his students. He wants everyone to do well. I found it irritating that I could only used 350 characters to describe such a wonderful instructor. Just not enough character spaces to describe him. Take his class - you will never regret!!
He's friendly in personality but serious about quality. He wants students to learn deeply, not just memorize. Even though he's fun, he takes grading seriously.
Good class structure and overall great guy. Cares about his students by making sure that the process of learning is an enjoyable experience to look forward to every week. If every prof was like this guy I would stay in college for the longest time to pursue the top degree with a smile on my face the whole way. Thank you Professor Rudolph.
He's a good professor who encourages you to participate in his classes and contribute your ideas for a better understanding of the lessons. He uses his work experience to incorporate videos, music, and images into his lectures. He makes you feel comfortable, to participate to maintain a dynamic and entertaining class
He's such a great professor, and he is supportive professor who wants you to learn and wants you to do well. He is fair but still expects you to put in real effort
I really like professor Rudolph class, it was engaging, with humor and the material was very well presented. You should read a lot and really grasp the material to pass with a good grade but he is open to questions during class and during office hours. He creates a comfortable environment in the classroom for participation. I would take it again
The class lectures were fun and interesting, which made the 8:20 am time slot forgivable. Test preparation was good, and the test questions and subject matter were transparent. Participate in the lectures, it's worth it, the bonuses for participating can raise your grade by a letter, depending on how much you participate.
I had a Saturday class but the lectures are so fun. His exams are easy too, he does review a week before and if you attend the review session, you are definitely getting an A in the exam.
Really engaging lectures that help bring the material to life. His exams are very fair too with a good mix of reasonable questions.
Professor Rudolph was absolutely the most engaging and enthusiastic professor I've ever had. His use of humor to get difficult points across did not go unnoticed. If you're looking for a class that is both informative and fun, look no further.
Lectures were fun and engaging. Tests and grading were clear.
This professor is very engaging with makes his lectures more engaging and enjoyable
Despite the course being content-heavy, he makes class interesting and engaging. He incorporates real life examples, videos, and activities to reinforce and demonstrates the contents he taught.
Go to class and study for all the materials you are given and you will pass the class with flying colors and man is really understandable and nice.
Honestly one of the funnest and most understanding professors ever!
Professor Rudolph has been my absolute favorite teacher this spring semester! He's just incredible – so inspirational and funny, he actually made those Saturday morning classes enjoyable! Seriously, even though waking up at 8:30 AM on a Saturday was tough, I always felt motivated to go to his class. God bless this man because he's the best!
Amazing pr
He holds lectures that are very interesting to listen to. He gives out extra credit for students who participate in lectures and other activities. Would take a class with him again.
When I added an 8:30am Saturday class to my schedule, I hoped that the professor would make it worth it, and Professor Rudolph did not disappoint. I actually wanted to attend the class despite how early it was. Because of him, I don't know if my interest in pursuing psych is just that or if its due to how much I enjoyed having him as a professor.
Great professor!
Just show up for exams and read some slides.
This professor is very encouraging and brilliant. Made waking up every saturday morning easy and eager to come to class and learn. Lectures turn into storytimes and tie great into the material that we are learning. Overall amazing professor , won't regret taking any of his classes !!
The class was fun, the atmosphere was relaxed, the explanations were good, and the professor was a great personality!
This professor is very detailed and helpful about how to prepare for the class. Very nice and funny. It is a long class but he gives enough opportunity for extra credit.
Professor is very funny and makes great lectures! Tests are clear and grading criteria is clear!
Hes great in lectures and very thorough when explaining! Tests are surprises and contain everything that we learned. No he just tests.
Professor Rudolf is really really sweet and even though his class was saturday morning at 8:30am, I still enjoyed his lectures! He sometimes does get sidetracked but I think the students also sometimes be throwing him off topic so it's really not his fault. Overall, very chill, exam heavy (like it's essentially 90% of your grade) but overall great!
The professor makes the requirements clear and his lectures are engaging.
Professor Rudolph is a great instructor. He explains topics clearly, is organized, and offers lots of extra credit. He grades generously and really wants students to succeed. He's approachable and helpful. If you're willing to try, you'll do well. Highly recommend for psychology
Amazing professor! Super engaging and passionate about psychology. Lectures were clear, organized, and actually interesting. If you're even slightly interested in psych, I highly recommend taking this class. One of the best classes I've take
If you have to take Intro to Psych, take Professor Rudolph. He's engaging, funny, and genuinely cares about whether or not his students pass. There are a lot of opportunities for extra credit if you show up to class. I honestly wish he taught more psych classes so I could take him again!
I honestly took this class for extra elective credits but wow this class was so interesting and fun. Despite it being an 8:30 class on Saturdays, I was still eager to come to class just because Professor Rudolph makes the lectures so engaging. Exams are super easy as long as you review the lecture slides. Definitely recommend!
Wasn't too fond of the idea of going to class on Saturdays but Prof Rudolph always made class fun and engaging. Class isn't mandatory but a few questions on each exam relate to something the professor mentioned in class or an activity we had done.
He is an amazingly engaging, professor who makes even an early Saturday morning class something to look forward to. The course is primarily exam-based, so doing your best on tests is important. Don't worry he gives extra credit for answering questions correctly during lecture!
He teaches enthusiastically and makes the content enjoyable to learn.
Amazing professor. If you wanna do well in his class just read the slides the best you can and go over the text book once.
Clear grading criteria, Exams are based off of slides, Extra Credit for participations. Professor Rudolph is a amazing professor and classes are very engaging.
I will miss this class with him as the professor
Awesome professor but I chose a Saturday class so that's on me. Really good class!!!!
100% recommend
Professor Rudolph gives engaging lectures with many extra credit opportunities and applicable activities. If you read the textbook material before class, you will do very well and get extra credit. 95% of the grade was taken from the highest 3 exams - there were 3 exams and the final was optional if you are happy with your grades.
loved the class - easy grades too as long as you do the work
don't think, just take his class
The only thing to note is that reviewing materials and previewing are very important. Previewing is to gain extra points for the exam. Reviewing is because the exam score accounts for 95% of the total score. Even the worst exam score will be discarded, but it needs to be taken seriously.
So caring and fun and very clearly loves what he does. Greatly invested in his students succeeding.
He is an amazing professor! The lectures are fun, but educational. He offers many opportunities for extra credit. You will do well in this class as long as you read the chapters before class and study the lecture slides he posts. 100% recommend taking this professor!
Professor Rudolph was an awesome professor. He gives awesome lectures that was interesting and effective. But he doesn't give any study sheet or tell you what part need to study. Doing this class, you have to read before coming to the class and the test weight heavily, but good part is there is no homework to do other than study.
Rudolph is super nice and offers very clear grading criteria, with lots of chances to improve your grade (he offers extra credit for participation and 4 exams). He makes the material interesting and the exams become enjoyable to take if you've been paying attention in class. He clearly cares about his students and treating everyone equally.
Pretty light class and its not too bad. As long as you are aware of what's going on, you should be fine.
Great professor, hard worker, very empathetic, very understanding. Made material very easy to learn.
👍👌 nice class
A very kind, empathetic professor. Very willing to give practical advice and academic support. Encourages students to actually engage with the content and build their own thinking skills. Plus, his sense of humor made my nights better. You will (probably) not regret taking his class.
Professor Rudolph was my favorite professor this semester. He gives plenty of extra credit opportunities. Lectures are never boring because he engages with us and gives demonstrations. The exams are easy to do if you read the chapters and come to lecture. 10/10 would recommend
Amazing professor who makes psych really fun and engaging. Every class there is an oppurtunity to gain 2 points of extra credit for an upcoming exam, up to 10 points, by answering questions he asks in class. Answers questions, and generally cares about his students and them doing well in the class. Would recommend 100%, no matter what.
Great teacher!
One of the best professors I've had. They break things down in a way that actually makes sense and truly want students to succeed.
Great professor. Explains concepts clearly and is always willing to help if you don't understand something. I really appreciated their patience and teaching style.
Super patient and always willing to help. Makes difficult topics feel way easier
Great teaching style. Breaks things down step-by-step and gives helpful examples
Lectures are engaging and easy to follow. Definitely recommend taking this professor
Creates a positive learning environment and makes you feel comfortable participating.
If you put in the effort, this professor will meet you halfway. One of the best.
Explains concepts in a way that actually sticks. You leave class feeling confident in the material
Great energy and always keeps students engaged. You can tell they enjoy teaching
Very supportive professor who takes time to make sure everyone is on the same page
Always respectful and patient with questions, no matter how small.

Gives great examples and real-life applications that help the material make sense.

Best prof ever!!!!
Professor Rudolph is very engaging and funny! He made lectures very interesting. I would definitely take a class with him again.
Really great at explaining concepts, and really engaging. Uses real life senarios and problems to describe a concept.
Professor Rudolph pops in a joke here and there and really helps us learn the content. It's been great having him as my teacher and I really hope if you're taking the course, you take advantage of office hours as well as asking questions as he's happy to help.
Great lectures and it's amazing to hear him talk. However, some of the test questions are curve balls, so study as much as you can take, but it's okay if you don't get a perfect score.
