He is a nice teacher. If you study...no problem.
He's very helpful, attendance is not strict at all, and he gives notes on power point. He is one of my favorite teachers. I highly recommend him.
.......he is really good professor :) If you have to take psychology take him. You have to study as well to get a good grade in this class.He is also very, very helpful.
Take Dr. Chi--you don't have to buy the text book! Lots of Powerpoint though. He's also very easy on attendance. You can miss several classes and not worry about being dropped. Cool guy and very helpful. The ladies think that he's hot as well!
Very good teacher, very professional and helpful. We did have to study to get good grades, but the material wasn't too hard. He obviously loves what he's teaching. Shows lots of videos which make things interesting and memorable.
Chi is absolutely awesome... very helpful and makes class interesting. Favorite college teacher so far, hands down.
He is very smart, but very full of himself, anal and way to technical for a psych teacher. One would wonder with all of the bragging he does about his stellar (ivy league) education why he is teaching at a community college instead of any ivy league school.
DR.CHI IS A WONDERFUL TEACHER, HE IS BOTH VERY HELPFUL AND CONSIDERATE, ALTHOUGH THE CLASS IS CHALLENGING HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING TO THE MAX, AND ALWAYS ASKS STUDENTS IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. ABSOLUTLY MY FAV TEACHER/CLASS.
Great teacher! You don't need the book for the class and he uses PowerPoint, videos, and activities to make class very interesting. So far he is my favorite teacher at Wake Tech.
Dr. Chi is the best teacher I've had at Wake Tech so far. If I could take him for every class I would. All you have to do is listen in class (which he actually makes fun) and take good notes. GREAT TEACHER!
Fun class, great teacher, you'll want to show up to class!
Isn't a Psych class supposed to be technical? Sounds like someone wasn't prepared for COLLEGE. Awesome professor. Willing to help anyone, always double checking to make sure everyone understands. Textbook not needed for 241-handouts are awesome, great study guides. Really laid back class. Only one paper, and an oral component. Not hard to succeed!
Awesome teacher, makes the subject fun even if you dont like the class.
Awesome
AMAZING professor. Knows what he's talking about and actually enjoys teaching it. If you print out lecture notes and pay attention, you barely even have to study. Coming to class and listening is pretty much your key to getting an easy A+!
very interesting class, not boring at all
AWESOME PROFESSOR!!!! Dr. Mike is one of the best profs I have ever had.. and definitely the best at Wake Tech. He is KIND, explains the material, and everything is based on LECTURE, not book! Just come to class, LISTEN, and you can do really well!
Dr. Chi is great. I didn't have to open the textbook once durring the semester. Knows what he is talking about and posts all of his lecture notes online. I highly recommend taking him. I was sad when he moved to teaching at the main campus.
AWESOME PROFESSOR, I wanted to take his class again. He always had videos that correspond with lectures to help you remember. Please take his class. I almost changed my major last sem and still considering it.
Dr. Chi is a good teacher and he is the one to take PSY-241 because he is very easy and makes everyone understand the material. Do not buy the textbook because he never uses/references it in lecture ever! Also, very few grades so make sure you do very well on his tests, which are a piece of cake for the most part. Easy class, take him.
Dr. Mike is the BEST!!! Take his class if you want to ENJOY sitting there and watching the class-time fly by! He really makes the material interesting, even if it isn't your "thing". He knows his stuff, and is a great professor! Glad Wake Tech has him! Hope they can keep him!
quite possibly the best teacher i have ever had. has pet peaves such as tardies but can be easy to get along with. hes very organized and interesting, doesnt go over useless material that wont be tested on. clear to the point. as long as you study and attend class hes the man
Besides Dr. Davis, Dr. Mike is seriously my favorite teacher at Wake Tech. He's really nice and he's a great teacher. Love how he uses videos in his lectures and PowerPoint. Quizzes are so easy! Just pay attention to what he says during the notes and you're golden.
Great teacher! 1st good class I took at college level. Kept everyone entertained. don't come late, or use your cell during class he will freak out. also don't buy a book. try your best, go to him for help, and you will for sure get an A! Dr. Chi was great! :)
great teacher, favorite teacher. he says in the begging you won't need a book and you don't he goes over stuff much better than the book. just don't be late he usually gets their early and waits for everyone to get there or for the time the class starts whichever comes first, and speeches can start five minutes early if most of the people are there
I loved Dr. Mike's class! I had him for Developmental Psych and he was very clear in his explanation and his tests were fair- they are exactly what he says they're going to be. We never used our book, I didn't even buy it. I would recommend him for any Psych class he teaches and I would take him again. Just don't be late- he hates that.
Dr. Mike is one of the best teacher's at Wake Tech. Very down to earth and likable. Makes learning and being successful in the class easy. One of my favorite teacher ever.
Very good teacher. I took his class online and focus was put on the discussion boards which were usually interesting to complete. All material for the quizzes, tests & final are easily accessible in the book or in the powerpoints supplied by the teacher. This was the best class of my semester and one of the best teachers that I had at Wake Tech!!!
Dr. Mike is an excellent teacher- I HATED psych before taking 241 with him, but he made it so interesting for me. He basically feeds you an A and if you don't make one then you may need to rethink being in college. If you need this class, definitely take Dr. Mike if you can.
Dr. Mike was great. I'm a returning student who took Developmental Psych seriously - (i.e. showed up for classes & studied) and w/o much difficulty got an "A". You do NOT need a textbook (he will tell you that on the first day) and as long as you stick to his PPT's you'll do great. DO NOT SHOW UP LATE FOR CLASS THOUGH!
Dr. Mike is a fantastic teacher. Took him for Gen PSY & liked him so much I followed him after he left N. Campus down to his class at Main for Dev PSY. Extremely interesting & the most together professor I've had to date. Things to know: Take notes, the book won't help; DON'T BE LATE! Great teacher, but he has an unusual love for RL shirts...
Great teacher. Very short temper tho so dont piss him off. Just go to class ON TIME and be quiet and pay attention. If you do all the above you will get easy A. No need to buy book he posts all the power points online. He make pyc very interesting and fun to learn.
Loved Dr. Mike! Will be taking him for PSY 241 (dev) I would take him for everything if possible. I strongly suggest you take this class with him!
really good in his teaching method, best teacher in waketech by far
I don't know why Dr. Mike teaches at WTCC.
I would not recommend Dr. Mike. He does not have the patience to teach, so I'm not sure why he is a professor.
I don't think a professor can make it any easier to pass his class. Maybe he makes it so easy as a joke to those who do poorly ... seems about right. DON'T BUY THE BOOK!
Dr. Mike is this best professor ever! If you need help he's always there, even on the weekends. His online class is really easy to follow. He makes it fun!
Great teacher. Very helpful and notes are crystal clear. The only way you can fail is if you dont care about school.
Doctor Mike is a great teacher whose ready and willing to help his student and his teaching style makes it hard not to do well in his class. Just do the work and pay attention in class and your guaranteed an A.
Amazing professor. Mike is phenomenal! I wish there was a professor this good in every subject at Wake Tech!
Dr Mike teaches the material wonderfully. he provides movie clips, powerpoint notes that you can print online, everything. He's a great teacher and relatively quirky.
Dr. Mike is an amazing teacher!! His PowerPoints give you all the information you will need for your test. He post your grades up super fast. He keeps his lectures very interesting and he is a funny guy! If you go to class and take notes you will do great! Loved his class! Totally Recommend!!
Dr. Mike rocks! His lectures are really clear, his grading is generous if you do the work, and all you need to know is in his power points- no need for the book.
The best instructor ever! Makes the class fun and interesting at the same time I HIGHLY recommended him.
Very interested in the subject he teaches and explains things well. He is very straightforward by using power points instead of making his students reading the textbook. The only negative I would say is that he can run low on patience at times and is too concerned with time.
Very good teacher, makes it so easy to learn. Always attentive. Very positive helpful attitude. Information is delivered in a manner that makes it easy to comprehend. I like Moodle!!
Very good professor! Makes class fun and interesting. Very helpful and generous. I highly recommend him!
AMAZING professor. Makes the material so interesting and simple as possible. He's very kind flexible. I highly recommend him
Dr. Mike is awesome. If more teachers taught like him, I might actually enjoy school more! His lectures are very helpful and he keeps class interesting. His grading is not to harsh as long as you do the work. His exams are simple as long as you take notes in class and actually attend class.
Dr Mike is an awesome teacher. He tells you on the first day that he does not care about attendance, but will have to earn your grades. He also tells you that you never need a textbook, as all notes are powerpoint. He is very clear and will further explain anything that is asked. He seems to get stressed, but will always help. Great class.
Very organized, easy to follow online class.
Very clear communication and quick responses to emails made Dr. Mike's online class a pleasure to take. He's patient and fair and I'd recommend his class to anyone. Wake Tech has a mandatory attendance / participation policy for online classes - just FYI.
I think he is a horrible horrible teacher. I was so interested in psychology until I took his class. He gives assignments that are unclear and then while he is grading, he takes off points for things he didn't even ask for, things he just "expected" you include. The only class I did poor in and the only class I was really excited to take. HORRIBLE.
Very helpful Don't be afraid to ask for help or any questions you may have on assignments.
I loved Dr. MIke! I took his class online and it was wonderful. He was very helpful to me and was very clear on what he wanted from everyone. That being said, he does not baby you. Submit everything on time and if you have technical problems, let him know immediately. It's better that way.
One of the best teachers I've ever had! He clearly understands what he is talking about and provides many visual aids to better understand the material. He keeps the class entertaining and always is quick when posting grades or responding to emails. Definitely recommend taking his class!
I enjoyed taking psychology with him. He is a great teacher all you have to do is take notes,Review the notes, do the study guides, and projects and you will be fine. The book isn't mandatory, but there are some questions in the study guide that isn't in the notes so you need to make sure you have a source to help you with the study guide.
Great teacher, best class at Wake Tech so far. He is super clear and is easy. As long as you take good notes, study and do the projects you will do fine. He is helpful.
One of the best teachers at Waketech. Clearly knows what he is teaching and he is very nice. He also makes the class fun!
Best teacher at WTC by far! He is very helpful, sticks to the schedule, and as long as you take notes, pay attention and study it is easy. Studying is needed, but he tells you everything that is on the exams and prepares you well. There is 1 writing assignment but it isn't that bad. He looked at my roughdraft twice and in the end gave me a 100.
Great instructor! Works with you, has slideshows for students taking his online course...as long as you study power point study guide and notes, you will pass. Great class and professor!
I took the class on-line. He was very organized and his materials were very easy to follow. The vidoes were very helpful. He made the class fun and engaging. He's big on discussion board, so be thoughtful with your replies. It's a big part of your grade! I will be taking 241 with him. One of the best teachers at Wake Tech!
AWESOME PROFESSOR! Hes super fun and makes even the most boring topics really interesting. Definitely recommend taking him even if you hate psychology. I hated it before him and now I love it. A+++ Professor!!
Dr. Chi is a fabulous instructor. He is very well versed in psychology and very enthusiastic about it which makes it that much easier and fun to take his course. He makes you work. There are several difficult things to complete each week. Sometimes the assignment is not 100% clear but he will explain. The format is perfect.
One of the best teachers I have had. I came very close to switching my major after taking his class.
Dr. Mike is by far one of the best professors Wake Tech has. He is keeps you engaged in the class and is always there to offer you help and repeat things if you don't understand. He doesn't use the book and uses a lot slides to teach you. He prepares you very well for all the exams and the final. Thanks Dr. Mike.
Took online. Lots of assignments but that helps in case you have trouble with the midterm or final. His slides are very helpful. Very interested in his students learning the material and doing well. Great Professor and one of the best at WTCC.
He is wonderful! He loves to use the powerpoint, print them! Everything is on it, just memorize and learn from it. Hated psychology and came out loving it. If I've a chance to take his cultural, I will! got an A too
Dr. Mike was GREAT ! Highly recommend this class. dreaded PSY at first, but he made it fun. Never used the textbook so don't get it. USE THE POWER POINTS ! the test & quizzes are the power points. He is very understanding and fair. Taking him for PSY 241 ! Best teacher ever!!!!
Don't buy the book. No need. Dr. Mike was friendly and informative. Really enjoyed his teaching style. The writing assignment and oral assignment seemed to scare a lot of people away. It wasn't bad. I'd recommend this class to anyone.
Dr. Mike is a fantastic instructor. He is very fair in his approach to the class. He will work with you in every way possible. He relies on discussion board participation for a major portion of the grade...along with quizzes and exams. Very thorough...providing additional notes and power point presentations. Great choice for PSY 150.
Dr. Mike is FANTASTIC! I learned so much and loved his style of online teaching. I also loved his use of family guy analogies. I wish all other online professors taught this way.
Very enthusiastic about the material. VERY patient. Organized. There when you need him and willing to work with you on any issue. Keeps things interesting. This is by far the best teacher at Wake Tech. I looked forward to every class.
Dr. Mike is a phenomenal professor. He's well-organized, enthusiastic and quite clear about what is required. This is one of the toughest and most time-intense courses that I've taken here at Wake Tech. However, if you follow his clear instructions and are prepared to do the work, you'll succeed. Dr. Mike is very helpful and replies promptly.
Dr. Mike is an awesome teacher. He goes over all the material and is very clear. If you don't understand he will go over it till you do. All y'all wantin this class need to get Dr. Mike!!!!!!
Such a great teacher! Responds to emails quickly, drops your lowest quiz, and discussion board grades. Also, the PowerPoints he makes are basically the quizzes and exams. As long as you take notes on PowerPoint, its an easy A.
I loved Dr. Mike! First of all, you don't need the textbook if you go to class every day, so don't even bother buying it. He makes class interesting and fun and is very concise with what's expected of you. Go to class, study at home, and you'll get a good grade.
amazing teacher! do not buy the book! alert! do not buy the book! provided excellent notes and powerpoints. :) study and ask questions and you will get an A. I didnt get an A because I missed two weeks of school. bummer :/
DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK! DON'T BUY IT! You will never use it, he provides notes! But SUCH a great teacher! His powerpoints are crystal clear, just take a ton of notes. The quizzes and tests are exactly like the notes. No surprises. I took the 5 week summer class, and with 2 other classes and a job this was pretty rigorous. Not impossible, though!
Very good teacher. Everything is given in power point lectures. Don't need the book at all. Tests are fair and clear. The material is fascinating.
Dr. Mike is a excellent professor, he is also very encouraging took the time out to give me pointers on studying and ways I could improve my grade!! After that I improved tremendously from c's to B's then A's He runs his classroom strictly but he's the best hands down.
DONT NEED TEXTBOOK!!! I normally do terrible with powerpoint lecture but I got an A because he's such a good teacher. If you print out his powerpoint notes before class to fill in during, you'll get an A in his class. The tests and quizes are exactly whats on the powerpoints.
don't buy the textbook you don't need it. he's quiz and test are based of his power points and lecture. he is a amazing teacher i really didn't have to work hard to get a A it wasn't bc it was easy it was a lot of info to remember but he makes it stick and if you enjoy it you will have an easier time remembering.
Dr. Mike is a great psychology instructor! His lectures are straight from the power points and they are very interesting and clear. You do NOT need the book! He gives you all you need to know in the lectures. He's pretty funny and makes class fun. I always looked forward to his class because we learned so many interesting things. Take this guy!
Dr. Mike is hands down the best prof. at Wake Tech. His tests are tough because of all the information he covers, but if you do the study guides, pay attention & take good notes, you'll pass. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. He makes things hands on which helps so much. In his notes, he lists everything that's going to be on the tests. LOVE DR. MIKE
is a good professor
Discussions every week are a paper at least, exams extremely long, esp for a test. Exam I can understand, test no. No real need for book as most everything said in class or online.
Dr Mike was the best! He responds to emails right away. Is very invested in his students and the course is very interesting. A big final paper but he is clear on what he wants and feel free to email him any questions. Make sure you read and use the powerpoint files he gives in order to be prepared for the tests.
Dr. Mike is a fantastic professor and truly cares about his students and their academic careers. He is always willing to help you succeed and gives good, interesting lectures. I really enjoyed his class. Highly recommend.
Online class, most tests are proctored.
Awesome professor! I never used the textbook required so it is not needed unless you struggle with grasping psych. He provides a powerpoint, additional notes he would say along with the powerpoint, and review questions (optional). USE ALL OF THESE! There are weekly quizzes and discussion boards
Dr. Mike is the best professor! He really wants his students to succeed and makes sure that all of his students know that. I never used the textbook, but I made sure to take notes during the lectures. The quizzes are easy, and the tests are relatively easy. The weekly discussion boards were my favorite! I really enjoyed this class & I recommend it!
Dr. Mike is great. Even online, he goes the distance to make sure you understand the concepts. Responds to every email. Grades fairly. Very encouraging. I used the textbook, but he does not test anything not on the power point. Not a hard class if you do the work, but you have to do the work. I would definitely take a class from him again.
Dr. Mike is a great professor who responds super quick to emails and gives great feedback. He grades pretty hard and there's alot of work but I enjoyed the class because it was interesting.
Dr. Chi is very nice and amazing. He wants you to succeed in class. Make sure to read all the materials he gives and watch the videos. The quizzes and exams were timed and straight from the slides and additional notes. I've learned a lot from him.
He is really tough grader, I got all my 4 exams straight A but in collaboration and things that he should grade them I've got nothing more than 12 out of 25! So be aware that if you taking this course online, you may going to have a hard time to get the C, as long as his collaboration counts 30% of final grade
I really enjoyed taking this class. Dr. Mike is a fair grader. If you follow the homework guides then you can get top marks for your discussions. Each week there was a quiz of 5 questions regarding the topic of that week. If you read the powerpoints, watch the videos, and read the extra notes you will do good in this class. Supportive teacher.
Dr. Mike is an awesome professor who makes the subject interesting and supports students to study and learn with his heart. I really enjoyed his class and actually I learned a lot. Thank you!
