As a class it's an easy class. So long as you study and come to class and do your work you'll be fine. As a professor, Underhill could do better. He DOES take an interest in the student and makes sure you're doing well. He doesn't give you an idea on your grade unless you ask and sometimes he comes off as very rude but other than that he's ok.

I agree with the post below. Underhill was very helpful in the cadaver class. He makes things feel relaxed. Very funny and kind of a character. He and prof Chen both put in extra time the last week of school to help students prepare for the final exam. BTW hel likes to be called by his last name and loves Led Zeppelin. Good guy.

Mr. underhill is a very knowledgeable professor. I took this class again to up my grade. Well worth it. Interesting lectures and a very good sense of humor. Sometimes outrageously funny. Seems to know alot about anatomy and the brain. This guy belongs at a school where there aren't so many immature students with high school attitudes. Take him.

When compared to any of my other professors, he would rank the lowest. His class is unnecessarily hard at times. His personality can be very annoying. Either narcissistic or self-deprecating humor. Picks on students jokingly, but it just gets old, and uncomfortable for everyone. I'd honestly prefer a boring teacher than an unfunny one. Skip him.

I graduated from MV with a degree in nursing in February of this year. I took MH for 2 psych classes and 2 anatomy classes with no regrets. This was the best possible prof to take for the nursing program. Interesting lectures and very helpful. He knows psychology and his lectures on the brain are amazing. MH is smart and funny. Take him!

I agree 1000% with the other person that rated him poorly. Hes a tough grader for absolutely no reason. His lectures arent clear or well explained , mostly jokes & you can go back and look at that later . I can also guarantee you wont be in class for awhile , maybe 30 mins at MOST. Gets mad when you dont think his jokes are funny

One of the posts has it just about right. Very enjoyable class and the prof is straightforward and interesting. Mr. Underhill knows psychology and makes the class a fun experience. I thought I would have to drop because of a personal problem, but the guy helped my work my back to a B. Attend class and use the power points for study. Take him.

Professor Underhill is amazing! He's very honest and to the point. His lectures, and what he talks about is exactly what you need to know in order to pass his exams. He makes the classes enjoyable and is very sweet. Show up, listen, and take good notes, and you will be absolutely fine.

Underhill is by far my favorite professor at Moraine. He is very knowledgeable on the topic and I loved how he brings in some anatomy in his class. Passed the course with an A. He would answer all my questions and always made sure students would get it before moving on. Very funny guy I would always look forward to going into his class. Take him!!!

He is absolutely wonderful! I have him as my PSY-101 teacher and he is such a funny person. You will almost always laugh in his class. He clearly tells you every single thing you should study that will be on the test the day before, and is always available after class to help. He usually always ends class early which is a plus!

Took this class over the summer. Thought it might be a baby cakes class coming from a university. The prof was cool and knowledgeable. Very interesting lectures and lots of discussion. The prof really knows his brain science and it has paid off in my nursing program. impressed how he relates psych to culture. A psych prof who quotes T.S. Elliot.!

Underhill is the best! If you are struggling and simply reach him outside of class, he will help you as much as he can. He has the most bizarre stories and is a hilarious dude. You literally won't regret taking him. You don't need the textbook, there's always like 1-3 questions on every exam that are based off the book which are easily guessable.

He is nice and good instructor and seems easy but actually the class was hard. He works hard on power points, and explains well, but you get questions in the exams you have no idea about. But overall he is easy on grading, he helps you with the grades if you need it. He makes quizzes for extra credits. You need to work hard although of all his help

Best teacher Ive had at Moraine. Took a condensed course and got out at least an hour early every time. If you want a good grade you have to pay attention and do your notes. He was very funny and made me look forward to class even though it was at 8AM. Even though he says you need the textbook, you dont we never used it.

He was pretty lecture heavy so take notes fast. Before every test (at least in my class) he reads off the questions so you know exactly what to study. Goes into a lot of detail but still a good teacher.

Dont take him if you have testing anxiety, he only gives exams and that just your grade. No assignments, discussions or quizzes just exams and you literally have to get an A or B on each exam in order for you to pass with an A or B maybe a C. Talks way to fast and low, he calls out ppl thinking he funny, he goes over the exam review but doesnt help

Take Professor Underhill if you have the chance. His lectures were so interesting, and I left class knowing so much more than I did coming in. He goes over each exam so you know exactly what to study beforehand. He also offers plenty of extra credit on his assignments which really helps your grade, I finished his class with an 108%. TAKE HIM!

Overall, not a bad teacher, he's been teaching for a while, so he's pretty laidback. His jokes can fall flat and often time, he'll usually use some students for jokes. Exams were simple, you only need to do one paper for him. His grading is based on points than actual grades.

Underhill is the coolest 73-year-old I've ever met. He has power points that are very detailed but he only lectures the important stuff like what we need to know for tests/quizzes. He gives out a lot of extra credit but it is well-deserved, and there really weren't a lot of assignments. Attendance isn't mandatory but class is definitely worth it.
