Although I don't have much to base this off of, being a freshman, he is definitely someone I would recommend even if you're not into psychology. He genuinely loves what he teaches and wants his students to do well. All MC tests & rarely uses the book. Attending the lectures is a must since that's where the questions come from.

Grant is new to OU, coming from a research background (as he will tell you). The tests he gives are all multiple choice, not cumulative (per exam), and he works very hard to ensure that his tests are fair. All of the info he gives in lecture (along with great examples of concepts and anecdotal stuff, you WILL laugh), and if you miss a class the power points are on the class blackboard page. He genuinely loves what he does and encourages all student interest in his field.

He really loves what he teaches. I took the online course and it wasn't too tough but it wasn't a cake walk either. He is very clear about what is due and when it's due. There's weekly homework: discussion board responses, short quizzes, chapter lessons. The chapter lessons and quizzes pretty much give you what is on the exams.

Amount of work is standard for a 3000 level class: weekly discussion boards, chapter lesson assignments, reaction papers & 3 proctored exams. He was an absolute doll with accomodating for CoVid-19, both w/ exams & assignments. Wish I could take more classes w/ him!
