best prof ever

Great prof., knows what he is talking about. Funny as anything and fair in marking. Expects students to reach their potential.

Very approachable. Gets to know the students on a personal basis. Uses his sense of humor in almost every lecture to lighten dry lecture material. A+.

Knowledgable, Humorous, Cute

Amazing Prof. Only one who cares about the students. Tests are hard..but what do you expect, it's University. Take his courses. Great blend of humor, knowledge, and approachable. This guy is great!

Love him! Funny, helpful, friendly...so the material is a bit dry, suck it up! And if you actually study for the tests, it's not bad at all. It was my highest mark the year I took it! Always in his office and willing to make time.

He is extremely interested in the course material and motivates us through his enthusiasm. Very rare do you find professors who encourage students as he does. He doesn’t sugar coat the difficulty of the course yet is willing to help you succeed. One of the best professors I have had!

Not really what I expected in Personality, but that's not his fault. He explains things well. The tests are hard but you can do well if you do good on the assignments and if you go to sem. His humour is really subtle, but funny!!

Mike is the best! A great guy, HILARIOUS, & very intelligent...acknowledged worldwide for his personality research! His tests are fair; I did my work, studied the material and did amazing- it's possible! AND, any questions he finds to be statistically 'unfair', he drops...what more can u ask for!

pretty boring...wish it was made more interesting b.c the topic is cool.

If you actually go and talk to him, he's the most helpful, friendly professor that you'll ever meet. And the class is not that hard!!!!!

Hated this class. Just wasn't what I was planning on studying and I found his class boring. He's a nice guy and easy to talk to though.

Great prof. Best in the Department. he is helpful, knowledgable and his sense of humour os great, though a bit dry.

good prof, easy to talk to after you approach him, but hard t oapproach him, if he doesnt know who you are

Awesome awesome prof. Very few get his humour but I did, and loved it. One of my all time favs.

He looks a little intimidating, but is actually very nice and helpful when you approach him and ask him for help. He makes his assignment requirements crystal clear to avoid any confusion. His tests are hard and a bit on the long side, but he was fair by giving everyone an extra 5% on top of the mark they received on their midterm. Thank you for th

Very, very smart professor. Unfortunately, sometimes his explanations are well over the heads of his students. However, he's always available outside the classroom to help students out. If you are genuinely interested in personality and research, Dr. Ashton will prove to be a great professor who will further your interest in psychology.

A great Professor. Really smart and always willign to help students who are interested and willing to work. Yes his course is hard, but it's university people, it suppose to be.

CUTE!

Funny!

Just terrible. His textbook is garbage, you cant learn from it, and unfortunately he is the same way. He teaches very general information with no conclusions. His tests are ridiculous and full of double negatives. He is very nice man who cares about his students and work but don't take his class, it sounds interesting but it really sucks.

He is very clear with his explanations. Obviously knowledgable. He wrote the textbook so obviously if you're going to miss something, like he says miss lecture not a reading. Great class, pretty interesting.

Ashton is a funny guy if you like quirky humour. His mannerisms are especially fun to watch when he lectures, like how often he squints his eyes. He is very clear about his expectations, and yes, his tests are on the difficult side. However, they are entirely fair if you attend the lectures and DO THE READINGS. YOU CANNOT SKIP ON HIS TEXTBOOK.

Lays the expectations out from the very 1st lecture. Personality is an extremely tough class with an extremely light workload (if that makes sense). If you are not good at multiple choice tests, I wouldn't advise taking 2p25. Also, lecture attendance is not 'entirely' mandatory, as he writes the textbook and pretty much goes through it lec by lec.

Ashton is a great professor, he lectures well, and studies his topics passionately. He is clear in his descriptions and makes the content easily digestible. His style is very calm and monotone, so his lectures can be boring if you have no interest in the material. Overall a good professor, very fair with excellent course structure.

He is great!

Had ashton for 3F20 as well & he cares about teaching & his students; he's extremely easy to talk to although he may seem intimidating. Most people find his exams to be very difficult but I ended up with over 90s on both the midterm and final!! His exams are all multiple choice & he gives a review; do the review in detail & your golden! Very easy

Ashton is my favourite professor at Brock because he seems like he actually likes teaching. His tests can be hard but are VERY fair, especially with the study sheets he posts which literally have a 1:1 ratio on what will be really on the test. He's super nice and always happy to explain and help you out. I wish he taught more classes!

Really very smart. Funny in an awkward way but still really funny. Harder test but fair.

It was his first time teaching this course but his assignments were fair and he gave tons of bonus marks out. The midterm was all MC and a bit tricky but the dec final was so easy, he provided review sheets for both. Hes super funny in a cute awkward way and is also really approachable outside of class.

So witty! It's great. He loves to add random interesting facts when he sees the class falling asleep. I f you pay attention to his hints and ask questions, you'll do great in this class!

Dr. Ashton is a great professor! He adds subtle humour to his lectures in a unique way. His tests are difficult but extremely fair! He provides a review sheet before the test which is exactly what is on the test - no surprises! His course outline is basic and the workload for the course is light. His expertise in the field of personality shows.

I've really enjoyed being in Dr. Ashton's class. His lectures are informative and entertaining and he encourages student participation and questions. He tells you exactly what's on the tests, which usually consist of (complex) multiple-choice. He's also kind and friendly to students, just an easy to get along with person overall.

Dr. Ashton is one of the leaders in personality psychology. He is very knowledgeable and funny at the same time. Assignments are fun and creative, but can be difficult. He is a tough, but fair grader. He makes you work hard, but it is worth it. Make sure that you understand concepts well. Online course delivery due to Covid-19 disruption.

He makes lectures fun by making jokes often. Course is 2 written assignments which are actually fun and 2 exams. He gives you an exam review which is exactly whats on the test, ngl its a lot but he gives you everything you need to succeed. He knows and enjoys what hes talking about which really shows and makes it enjoyable. 10000000/10 Recommend

Pretty sure that underneath his dress shirts and khakis he is hiding a ripped, rockin' bod.

Go to lecture! He basically addresses everything for tests and exams without explicitly saying it, especially the lecture before an exam. Always tries to make lecture fun and funny with various humour and personal stories. Also, he lays out the assignments so easily that if you have just basic understanding of the concepts you should do well.

Super accommodating. The e-textbook the SAS provided wasn't working with my disability and he helped me contact the publishers to get a more accessible version. As long as you either read the text book or attend the lectures you'll do well. Midterm questions are just like the review so make sure you do it. So much respect for this prof. Great guy

This professor makes extra office hours around exam time; even if you have no questions making use of the time to talk over material is extremely helpful. He's very understanding, approachable, and genuinely wants his students to succeed! Lectures are a huge help, and his textbook is free and an easy read! He also answers emails quickly! Great guy!

I scored a 97% on the second mid-term and 96% on the final exam. Both these exams were in person; I am not a very smart guy but the course content is interesting more than 90% of the times. Read the textbook and lectures slides for sure, they are tiny chapters. Great course and great professor, the results will depend on you as an individual!

Ashton was a good professor especially since he is a leading research in his field. There was only 3 midterms worth 21% EA and the final exam worth 37%. This meant showing up and studying matter a lot in this course. He has good jokes (dry humour).

I acc love Ashton, I don't know why he gets the hate he does. If you're in a 2nd year class, you obviously need to put in more work? Multiple choice can be tricky so the only way to do well is to actually study the textbook and lectures. He's so funny and nice and a great sense of humor (dry). STOP the hate :( y'all js don't study

I will say his courses are difficult, the layout of multiple choice is tricky. I have no hate towards him and his character, he makes his lectures funny and interesting. I didn't do great on the first exam, but improved a lot the second time around when I knew what to expect and how to study for his class. Take his class, you'll learn a lot!

The hate on Dr Ashton is ridiculous, he is a great prof! Students think they can pass the class without ever opening the textbook - and that's the biggest mistake for 2P25. Lectures can be a bit monotone sometimes, but Dr Ashton is one of the biggest researchers in personality!! He knows so much! Read the book and attend lec, you'll be fine

Definitely the best psych professor I've had. Dr. Ashton has very succinct lectures, and is always making jokes. The content is very research-focused, but that's been common in a lot of classes. The only marks were based on 4 exams throughout the term, but they're all multiple choice. Overall, a great prof and interesting class.

There are so many bad reviews of Dr. Ashton but do not let this deter you from the course! He is kind, knowledgeable and engaging. If you do well on tests usually and don't prefer projects or talking, this is for you. Do the readings and study accordingly you will do well in this course. He provides all the covered test material in the review.
