He is very nice and has easy tests. I recommend taking him, he also is pretty funny. All his lecture material is out of the book, so if you read that you will easily get an a.

Boyle's lectures are STRAIGHT from the book. Just take notes and study those for his tests which are VERY GENERAL. He curves all tests and gives study guides too. He doesn't take attendance. If writing enhanced, he just requires one APA style paper about anything from personality. Good class... easy A.

Dr. Boyle i a laid back guy. If you read text then you are guranteed an A. He provides detailed reviews prior to every exam. I am currently taking him again.

I have taken Dr. Boyle TWICE. Even in the summer. He's so easy-going and helpful when you need him. His exams are easy if you follow the text. He does give reviews.

hes a nice guy but extremely boring...i took him for the tues night class that was 3 hours...dont do that! he gives study guides but you have to read the book alittle as you go through it to make a good grade on tests...he has a lot of stories and jokes...you dont have to do anywork in that class just take 4 tests and he has extra credit! easy

boyle is an ok teacher...he believes in having class no matter what...the book is pretty much mandatory b/c you have to go back and read it to understand him from time to time...you also have to actually pay attention in class b/c he's a licensed psychologist and he'll add things to the test that he think you should know.

Just an easy A, offers 15 points to your cumulative grade, doesnt worry about getting to know students. Tests are directly from book.

Dr.Boyle is probably the nicest professor at Sam. His class is pretty easy, his notes are straight from the book, you don't even have to pay attention in class. He takes attendance at the beginning of the semester but it won't count against you. I took him for 2 courses this past semester and plan on taking him again.

Taking his Abnormal class. Lectures are interesting and he involves the class from time to time. You'll have class every period. If he's gone, the TA is there. READ the book because 99% of the test is from the book. He doesn't present much new info. He also gives reviews, but they can be kind of vague. Very interesting. He's very knowledgeable.

You must purchase a book for this class. Everything we do in class is basically right from the book. He gives study guides that are helpful. You must read the chapters and do the study guide though or you will fail the tests. He is very boring! So get a good nights sleep before you go to class because you will fall asleep. Good teacher though!!

AMAZING teacher!!! Knows what he is talking about. Always tells real case scenarios to make you understand... very interesting topics and he has class discussions. This class is never boring!

Good Prof. Must buy the book. Test are straight from book if you read you will do good.

A very nice and funny teacher, likes to tell stories. Is a counseling psych., so he tells lots of stories from his hayday.Attendance not mandatory, but he still takes it though and if your in trouble at the end of the semester dont expect help if you never showed up. Gives reviews for test, just read the book. class can be boring but its kinda easy

great teacher..just read the book and you'll make an A!!!

This class is boring any day and everyday but its very easy. His opinion is the book's opinion. so buy the book. Test comes directly from text. The book is an easy read. Its not mandatory to come to class. your tests and a few extra credit is the only thing that counts

He is a nice man, but his class is boring. You can just read the book and not even listen to his lectures because he pretty much just glosses over the chapter contents in lecture and that's it. You do need the book, or you won't learn anything and won't do well on the tests. He's nice, but I will avoid taking him again because the class was so dull

Highly recommend! Nice prof, genuinely wants you to do well in the class. I never read, just used the book for the study guide and made an A. His wife makes cookies for the class at the end of the semester :]

Great prof. Loved his class. It was an easy A but I still learned from him. The lecture was a little slow at times and didn't really like his TA but over all it was a good class. Didn't really need the book much, just used as a guide in taking notes during the lectures and did fine on all of his exams.

Great Professor i loved his class. Hes a snoozer but if u read the book guaranteed adleast a B... Great Teacher.

Very nice man! I found this class very interesting and I loved his stories. He goes straight from the book so reading is a must since he only hits the main points. Study guides aren't a great help but the tests are pretty straight forward.

Very nice man! I found this class very interesting and I loved his stories. He goes straight from the book so reading is a must since he only hits the main points. Study guides aren't a great help but the tests are pretty straight forward.

I learned more from this prof than most others.

nice teacher.very boring lectures but just pay attention in class take good notes and READ the book.especially the studies he mentions in class.study guides are extremely helpful

Dr. Boyle is a fabulous instructor! He lectures straight out of the book, without powerpoints, so it's really unique and not rehearsed, boring, or monotone. I've learned a lot. He tells a lot of stories, but they are relevant. Study guides done right will give you 100 on the test. Plus, his wife makes cookies for the last day of class!!!!

You learn mostly from the book, and his lectures are a little boring. He grades on a curve, and his test reviews were thorough enough for me to get an A. He also gives out some extra credit to help your grade. He put test scores on Blackboard super fast, so you don't have to sit and worry about how you did.

Doesn't use powerpoints, but his notes come straight from the book. Just study the reviews and you should ace the tests. Overall, really easy and interesting class.

The class was ridiculously easy. His lectures are dull and straight from the book. If you do the review, you'll ace the exam. Most of the information is common sense and/or a review of Intro Psych. I wouldn't really recommend him or the class. It's an easy A though, if that's what you're going for.

His voice reminds me of Ben Stein but he also has a good sense of humor too. He offers study guides and extra credit "PERP" do that and your good to go. Last day of class, his wife bakes warm, crunchy chocolate chip cookies for the class

The onine class was great, 4 exams no homework and no required "discussion". Exam scores posted as soon as you finish taking them, provides review, overal I thik it was an interesting class and not overly time consuming.

Great Professor! Attending class is imperative.

Funny jokes. easy test (if you follow his review). explains concepts well. give many extra credit opportunities. I am going to take his fam dynamics class because he is such a great teacher.

Great teacher. Good wholesome man, loves to talk about his family. Wife brings cookies at end of semester. I never attended class and got a good strong B. Tests are heavily relied on book. He gives a great review for each test. Very responsive with emails and always in a great mood! Would take this prof. For any and every psych class.

Great teacher! I've taken 3 classes from him and I love him! He is a very grandfatherly Man. He genuinely wants to help you do well. Just pay attention in class, study the textbook, and you will do fine. Definitely recommend. Plus his wife makes cookies at the end of the semester!

Great teacher. Very down to earth and friendly. Loves talking about his family. Pay attention and study the textbook, and you will get good grades.

Nice guy. Class was a bit hard, but not because of him, just the subject matter. I managed to make a low B though. He's a bit corny at times, but it's fun and he's very sweet. I recommend him, just be sure and study the textbook very well

A nice guy. He enjoys teaching and it shows. I didn't make a great grade, but it was only because I had problems that semester. Is still squeezed out a low B though. He's very helpful, plus he is an actual psychologist, so he has interesting stories to tell. Definately study the textbook well

Great professor, but textbook is a must. Very friendly and always in a good mood.

Class was a bit hard, but it was an upper level class. Really laid back professor, and he will help you if you need it. Don't expect to skip class and make an A though. He is an actual psychologist, so he tells really interesting stories. He jus has tests, no homework or papers, which is a plus if you have a full course load. Overall, I would recommend him.

I took him for 2 different classes, and I found them to both be pretty easy. He is a friendly instructor, and is good about responding when you email him. He does tend to get off subject occasionally, but it makes it more of a discussion than a lecture. Class was a bit boring at times, but after my hectic morning classes, a laid back class was refreshing. Study the textbook and you will be ok

Good professor, always friendly. Doesn't use power points, so be sure and pay attention to his lectures and read the textbook. I recommend him as a psychology professor

Great great teacher. I'm taking a second class from him this semester. He's really laid back and always in a good mood. As a plus, his wife briefs cookies at the end if the semester. He does 4 tests, and offers a little bit of extra credit if you need it. Definitely recommend.

A good professor. I took a couple classes from him last year, but I'm just now writing reviews for professors. Go to class, read the textbook, and you will do well. He is very friendly and will help you with anything that you ask.

Took Learning and abnormal psych from him, and I really enjoyed it. Learning was tough, but it was a level 4 class. He was a really sweet older man, and very friendly. Will help you if you need help. Textbook is a must, but attendance wasn't. I would recommend him. Plus he is a psychologist, so if that's your major, you can get advice from him

A pretty cool older guy. Attendance is not mandatory, but textbook is a must. I recommend going to class though, you will make a better grade. Very easy going professor

A nice guy. I've taken a couple of classes from him, and took a little more effort than others to do well, and his family dynamics was super easy. A pretty laid back guy, and it was nice having such an easy teacher with a full course load. Does tend to tell alot of stories, but alot of the older "grandfather" professors tend to do that.

A pretty good teacher. Lectures can get a tad boring, but it is still really enjoyable. I like that he doesn't use powerpoints, because his lectures are actually coming from his knowledge, not rehearsed r read off of a screen. And his wife brings cookies at the end of the semester

A nice guy. very easy workload. Im taking another class from him in the fall

Super professor! Keeps class interesting and learned a lot from him! Very very nice man! Easy A!!! Must take Dr. Boyle!!!

A great professor! MUST MUST read the textbook if you take Learning from him. Otherwise, a lot to learn from him

I loved him! The class was super easy, and he is a really sweet older man. loved having an easy class after taking other psych classes where the professor to kill you with the workload. Just show up to class, take notes, and you will be fine. Just ted some extra credit, no writing assignments.

A great professor, his voice is a little boring at times, but he is a total sweetheart. Will help you with anything you need help with, and he is an actual therapist, so if that is your major you can learn a lot from him.

A nice professor, and really sweet. Likes to tell stories about his kids and grandkids. I recommend him

A nice professor, and really sweet. Likes to tell stories about his kids and grandkids. I recommend him especially if you need an easier class that isn't full of a million papers to write

Easy teacher. read the book, he gives a review. Very sweet guy. I'd take him again.

Super sweet professor, and very easy A. Just the basic 4 tests, no paper or homework. Very friendly and helpful I took very class that he teaches.

Kind of a slow class, but he is a super nice guy, and very helpful.

Great professor. He is very soft spoken, but still makes things interesting

Really really nice professor. Like grandfather type. Isn't strict about attendance, but tests come from lectures so I recommend you attend class. Took 3 classes from him andmade 2 A's and a B.

I HIGHLY recommend taking Dr. Boyle for any class that you can! He is such a nice man, very understanding and will do anything he can to help you! I am not an A+ student, I usually just slide by with what I need because I work 50+hours a week and don't have the time. Greatest professor I've had by far!

Great professor, took every class he teaches. Very easy classes :)

Such a sweetheart! Bit of a slow class because he loves to tell stories, but I still loved it. Very fatherly/grandfatherly guy, and he is an actual therapist so he has interesting stories to tell. I recommend him :-)

I am SO glad I took this online b/c I would have fallen asleep at his lectures in class. I just read the book instead of listen to his lectures (b/c he moves so slowly) and it was SO easy! He seems like a very sweet guy..I am just to impatient!

AMAZING class! I would take Boyle again in an instant. You don't need a book and he straight lectures with no powerpoint so pay attention, but he goes over things a bunch. His tests are easy as long as you go to class. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Boyle is great. He really interacts with people in class and seems to care. He makes a lot of cheesy jokes. Super easy. He gives reviews for the tests and if you have a general idea about the concepts he puts on them you're good to go.

Great teacher who gives a lot of advice for life. Lectures are very interesting. He is a therapist and gives a lot of helpful, unforgatable examples that are related to the subject discussed. One of the few classes that I would take again!

Loved him. Sweet guy. Yes lectures are kind of slow, and he can take a wbile sometes to answer emails and post grades, but Im not bothered by it. Jjst show up to class, read the book you will be fine

Good professor. Loved his class. Can be a little dry with tone but I learned a lot form him and even though I am no longer in his class, I still refer back to his notes for abnormal psychology.

Dr. Boyle is an outstanding professor. Clear syllabus and grading criteria. I took his summer class and it went very well. You don't really need to listen to his lectures to pass: just read the book and you'll get an easy A. Up to 9 points of extra credit if you do PeRP. Tests are MC, and you have to understand the material and be able to apply it

Loved him, very laid back and caring. Come to class, pay attention and you will be fine.

I loved this class the tests were based off the lecture notes which were really interesting. The video lectures were boring but very informative. I would definitely take him again plus there was always a curve on his tests.

Easy class, no extra unnecessary work. Tests were easy and Professor Boyle is very informative.

He has weekly asgmts. where you answer a question about that weeks material. Every 4 weeks there is a test (lockdown browser) worth 50 points (you have 55 min.) Extra credit is for every 1 PERP point you do he gives you 3 w/ a max of 3 PERP point you can get up to 9 extra credit points. I didn't buy the book or watch his lectures I used google.

Take notes in lecture. Study your notes. Do the reviews if you want a good grade. Ask questions if confused.

He relies heavily on the book. If you miss class read the chapters.

Super easy. There are no powerpoints. A lot of students complain about that, not sure why, but here's a heads up for it. He is a caring man. Only grades are exams though. Which, if you are like me, and have test anxiety that is awful. You really only have to show up on test day. That is what most people do.

His humor is dry, but he makes the information easy to remember by relating it to his personal stories or yours.

He is so nice! He does not do powerpoints, so his lecture should consist of taking notes. He teaches right from the book. I had four exams in this class with the opportunity of extra credit through Perp. I highly recommend this class. It's so easygoing that I had to remind myself to study for the exams. I even signed up for another class of his.

Great teacher! Gives great feedback on assignments. Gives study material before each exam. As long as you do all assignments on time and pass every test then you can easily get an A. I would take this teacher again.

Professor Boyle is a great professor. He is very clear about what is expected and as long as you follow his instructions and do the work, an A should be achievable. He provides lectures and pdf overview of the content, but it is necessary to watch the lectures in order to do well on the tests. Overall, easy to understand and interesting material.

Dr. Boyle is straightforward and provides you with what you need to do well in his class. If you read the text / watch lectures, you will do very well.

One of the more caring professors I've met. The only grades are 4 exams and then 14 3 point weekly assignments (1 assignment/week for 3 points). You do have to study but just watching the lecture is fine. The book is something he published and his lectures are word for word, so don't worry about buying the book. He is a monotone lecturer but nice!

You must have the textbook for this class and will read it every week. Awful lectures that don't talk about what was in the reading. His exams were really hard and would ask about things that we never went over in lectures or textbook. He does provide reviews for his exams. He also wasn't also accessible over email. He does curve the exams though
