Great Teacher! His lectures are all powerpoint. He posts all assignments and lectures on the web so you can print them out and not worry about taking notes. He gives out test reviews and then tells you what is going to be on the test. As long as you do the review sheets it will be an easy A.
The class is very easy( its intro to psy by the way). as long as you show up every day and do the test review youll be fine. the class it self is actually pretty interesting. dont really need the book, but it helps when doing the test reviews. Highly recommend.
Great teacher, gave review and then told you what was on the test
This teacher was GREAT! I loved going to this class. One of my favorites. He was very easy to understand and let you know EXACTLY what he wanted out of you! Offers extra credit. If you cant make the grade in this class YOU have a problem.
This teacher is amazing keeps your interest the entire class!! He's GREAT!! This was one of my favorite classes this past semester! He lets you know EXACTLY what he wants out of you. He gives ex-credit and reviews before every test! If you can't make a good grade in this class YOU have a problem.
Awsome guy, he makes sure you understand the material, and if you pay attention his class is cake.
he was easy! he gave out reviews for the test and told you what to study which helped ALOT! great teacher and funny!
Very easy class. Chapter Outlines are put up online, gives review sheets after each chapter to help you review for the tests.
Awesome teacher, keeps students interest, and also pretty easy. He gives reviews for the tests which are really helpful.
What a great professor, thanks to him I am now looking into Psychology as a career! Easy A, gives reviews for each chapter (study the reviews) he makes you want to come to class and you will be interested in his lectures. He always started class late and let us out early. I wish he taught more classes, I would deff. take him!
Leffingwell was awesome! He always made class very interesting, and if you ever had questions he was more than happy to answer them! He also gives out reviews for each chapter to help study for his tests (which you need to study for to pass) If you have the chance to take his class, do it!<3
Easy class. I didn't attend class much. He shows alot of videos. I just study the lecture notes that he post and past with an A. His exams are easy. Easy A. Nice teacher.
easy going prof. gives you a review for each test which are exactly what you need to study for the test. lectures are on powerpoint. in fact, all the material you need he will also give you online. few quizes and lab exercises on mypsyclab. easy a if you put the effort behind it
Most boring professor ever. Have to show up due to quizzes & all he does is show power point slides. Hated his class. Worst ever.
He is easy going.If you don't like this teacher that means you're extremelly lazzy.I love him.I hope that all teachers would be like him.I recommended him.
he is really chill and a really good teacher. he will help you with anything that you have questions on. as long as you study and do the work you will get an easy A. he makes it very interesting and fun!
Great teacher. If you miss you can get the powerpoints and notes online. That's also good because some people can't keep up with lecture and writing notes at the same time. He gives off that easy-going attitude. I so recommend this teacher.
Leffingwell is seriously the best teacher ever. He is so easy going and literally tries his best to not make anything SUPER hard for us. He doesnt try to trick you with trick questions, he just wants to make sure you get the material. Also, he doesnt just lecture, he encorporates many different teaching styles like videos or activities. Take him!
I really enjoyer Mr. Leffingwell's class. he worked hard to make sure that all students understood the data. Study the review sheets and he gives test reviews... Being present will help your experience.
Do the review sheets for every chapter and you should have an A on every test. Group project was also an easy A. Good teacher, I would be happy to take another class with this prof.
Prof Leffingwell is currently my favorite prof. You learn a lot and his tests are very, very simple~ I don't remember anything bad about him at all... I passed with an A+ I would definitely take his class again.
I'm in his class right now, and I I have gotten almost all A's. He makes sure you understand every detail. Gives reviews/notes online before tests. Optional final! If you fail a test,replace it. He drops the two lowest grades.There is good extra credit.I haven't used the book much. Great Teacher,if you want to have a good psych class,here you go!!!
Mr. Leffingwell is an excellent teacher. He makes you work hard, but I learned so much in his class. He gives out reviews for his tests that are very helpful so make sure to use them. As a psychology major, I plan on taking a couple more of his classes. I highly recommend him.
He is a great teacher. He explains very well. If you come to class everyday and study the review sheet, then you will get A easily.I really like the way how he teaches.
I took his class online. It was super easy and require minimum studying. Take this class online if you can.
Great professor! He is very kind and helpful. gives helpful study guides and lectures are very interesting.
Prof. Leffingwell is a WONDERFUL teacher. I highly recommend taking him. He was extremely helpful and his tests were very straightforward and easy. Not only did I learn a lot but overall the class was easy and simple to understand.
I took Intro to Psych last semester on a Saturday and absolutely hated it. This retake was online and was a blessing because Prof. Leffingwell was so quick to answer emails and cared about you. Reviews for tests are posted and super easy to understand. no trick questions on exams, he just wants you to know the material. I LOVED THIS CLASS!Got an A!
I took his online class this summer. He was very helpful with questions and gave excellent instructions. Read the text and do the assignments and you'll get an A. Highly recommended!
Took online. Easy class, will need book for test reviews (tests are exact same as review), discussion boards, and short answer questions. 3 exams, 11 quizzes,about 9 or so assignments, and offers extra credit. Do the work and you will make an A, not a ton of effort involved either. Putting my book on craigslist you can have it for free.
I took the class online, it was very straight forward. He reponded to emails quickly. He posted previews for the quizes and tests so you can look up the answers in the textbook before taking them. You also have mini writing assignments to keep you busy.
His lectures are awesome, he has a great sense of humor. He does a lot of extra credit that will help you get that A. His tests are easy if you read to book and pay attention in class. I definitely recommend him!
Awesome teacher!! Test are exactly like review, he makes the class interesting. I looked forward to going to his class everyday. Ended up getting an A!
Loved what he was teachings, very knowledgable. Worked with me when I had to miss class for a family emergency. Loved this class! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :)
He is the best teacher I've ever had. His lectures are really interesting and he's got a great sense of humor. Lots of quizzes and in class assignments, but they're not worth a lot and he drops the lowest two grades. He gives easy extra credit too. Tests are a breeze if you've kept up. I'm taking him again this semester. I absolutely recommend him!
Great teacher, taking him online and his notes help with the test and gives other assignments which helps if you dont take test well. Definetly take him!!!!!!!
My favoright teacher at Tcc. He has quizes if your not a great test taker and the tests are just all the quizes put together. I love this teacher. <3
Great teacher! Very helpful. Seems intimidating at first, but once you get to know him, he rocks! If your willing to listen, participate, and attend all sessions, you should get an A if you are attentive and read. He is fair and I would recommend him for any class he teaches.
I took his class online. Everything was clear, he gave plenty of time for assignments to be completed. He was friendly. Tests based off of bookwork. The only thing I disliked was that he only gives 15 minutes for quizzes, sometimes. Other than that, I liked him.
Very Easy class, he is prompt with email and returning calls. I did not purchase a book just used presentations and did great. his assignments are fairly simple and test come straight from powerpoints. Would recommend taking him I made an A+ will little time taken away from kids and work ;-) The research paper is a little different so start early.
Very easy class if you study and keep up. I took his online course and he's super helpful. He responded back to e-mails very quickly and graded fairly. Test come straight from the book and powerpoints. Definitely take him :)
OMG he is the best professor ever!!! I took him online for summer one and it was a piece of cake. Really easy, you know exactly whats expected of you. I would definitely recommend him to anybody!!! Great professor :)
Good Professor
The class was pretty easy. He lectures and everyone takes notes, but he posts reviews before each test that you can use to study. I got all As just from doing the reviews and never read a page outside of that. Good teacher.
Interesting class and Mr. Leffingwell did a great job making all of the material easy to digest. The matching questions on exams are golden!
Took his online class and it required a lot of studying. Test questions came from all materiel. Quizzes, Power Point lessons and the book. Just do the work and you'll get an A.
Professor Leffingwell was very prompt and helpful in his responses. Took his online summer course and it was very straightforward. Read the book and everything else is easy. Do the writing assignments, take the quizzes and the open-book tests.
Awesome teacher!!! Will do great if you study the reviews that are given! I didn't attend class much and just studied and made a high A on my last exam. Explains things well and is not boring!
Took general psych online. Discussion board assignments and a few short essays. When he takes points off he never tells you why so you don't know how to make your next submission better. Quizzes and tests are pretty easy. Lesson is PowerPoint made manufacturer of textbook, didn't seem personalized at all. Never used the online psych lab.
Took online. Easily made an A, but I did the study guide for each chapter that is provided at the beginning of the textbook. The teacher responded fairly quickly to emails and all of the expectations were quite clear.
Loved the class and loved the professor! He makes sure you understand the material and if you do not understand it he helps you. You should definitely take his class!
Online. Clear with instructions & responds quickly to e-mails. Plenty of time for assignments. Textbook is a must!!! Everything comes out of it so read like you're supposed to. Make sure you're thorough on Discussion Board and Short Answer assignments! Has some extra-credit opps. 10 quizzes, 5 DBs, 6 SAs, 3 tests. SUPER easy A if you do your work.
I took his online summer class and it was a easy A. As long as you do the online discussions and the short answers you will get a 100 for just participation. He offers extra credit as well. I would recommend this class to anyone, if you have a question he is a little delayed with responding back
I took this course online. He is very unorganized. He will delay posting quizzes and assignments. The book is a must, reading is required for this class.
Pretty easy class overall. Professor takes long to email back. Every week was read a chapter take a quiz. Long time for quizzes and every answer was in the book. Not a hard class at all.
I enjoyed his class very much. I like his teaching style and I learned a lot. I hardly used the book...I just took notes in class and filled out the review sheets and I got an A. He's a very good teacher. I would recommend taking him.
You must have the textbook! You do have to read.Sometimes I could not access the power points and reviews are very lengthy. He does offer extra credit. Quizzes and test are timed. He is an OK teacher, its just you have to read a lot.
His a very good teacher. Easily made an A on this class. He give a reviewer for you to study, offer an extra credit. I would recommend him.
Very good teacher. Easily understood and very clear. Offers a good amount of extra credit. I ended up not doing any and still made a high A. Must read the book, but it's a psychology course. Wish he taught other courses. Every answer is in the text if you just read. The tests are also simple. Know your vocab!
He is awesome! Just study the textbook and you will doing great in this course. Exam questions are just exactly from the textbook. Easy class!
STUDY. Or you WILL FAIL. He posts all his power points on blackboard, comes in handy. Also is very passionate about psychology so he cares about what he says about it. Makes it easier for the student to be interested.
One thing I do not like is that you are learning stuff that will be on the test the SAME day as the test. The test are not that hard but does require studying. He gives quite a bit of extra credit. If you study and do the extra credit theres no reason you shouldn't make a good grade. The final is not comprehensive.
He's a great professor, but his class is not easy. You will need to study, but he goes over everything in his lectures. He gives you plenty of extra credit and study guides. He's very funny and tries to keep students interested, but he expects you to read the book and keep up with work in class. Take good notes and study hard, and you should pass.
Professor Leffingwell is a true gem of a Psychology Instructor. It is nearly impossible to fail his class. With the extra credit and exams, his class is an EASY A+. Would recommend for sure!!
He's a great professor and his lectures are not boring. He does give hard exams, but he gives big extra credit opportunities. The current book is extremely important to have because the exams are based of the book.
ALWAYS LATE. but gets his lectures done and done well
Professor Leffingwell is amazing. He's really passionate about what he teaches. He tends to go fast with lectures and he's always a little late, but overall, a great guy and super helpful with everything!
the tests come straight from his powerpoints, and the majority of the time notes are allowed. tests are super easy though so notes weren't necessary for a lot of it. he tells you during lectures what points are going to be on the test so it's not wise to skip, but not impossible to get an A if you do.
This class is an easy A if you study the book. The quizzes and exams are multiple choice but some of the questions are confusing and do not come from the book. Short answer and discussion board assignments are also easy but the book is needed for research. Professor Leffingwell does give extra credit but you shouldn't need it to pass with an A.
Super easy A if do all the assignments and study. Unfortunately, he still lectures on the materials for the test on the day of the test. Usually late to class
Has an awesome uplifting personality, his class however... tests are really tough. He does not give reviews. He would just say "Read Chapters 1-5 and study the material" WHAAAAT MATERIAL? We need specifics! We need to know whats important and what is not in Chapters 1-5. There's a lot of info in those chapters but all is not important.
I had Professor Leffingwell for Honors Intro to Psych and honestly the class was a hit or miss. Sometimes the lectures were interesting and kept my intrigued and other times I sat there with my eyes glazed over. The tests aren't hard. Before them he asks if you have any questions and will review for you. Read the textbook because he's sporadic.
He gives 12 quizzes and drops lowest score on one. You'll take 3 tests. He's very clear on what he expects. He covers a chapter a week. You'll get an assignment and a 10 question quiz almost every week. Do not think you can find answers in the book, you will not have time. I would take him again. He gives you more than one try on most quiz's.
I really like this class it's pretty straightforward.
Professor Leffingwell is great. He's always super helpful if you have questions or need help. He eagerly gives out extra credit and loves to help. He keeps the class interesting with funny videos and his passion made me excited to be there.
Lots of reading. One chapter a week. 20 min. for 10 questions on quizzes. Know your stuff before you take them because you will not have time to look them up! Gives extra credit. Drops the lowest grade on quizzes. Only 3 exams.
Took his course online and found it to be very challenging. Quizzes and exams are numerous, tough, and strictly timed. Also gives NO feedback (not one comment of feedback in 16 weeks). He may be different in class, I dont know, but I'd avoid his online classes. The material is dense and he's just not there for you.
Mr. Leffingwell was a great teacher. Any questions you may have had, he was always willing to answer and help. He does go a little fast in his lectures but he also makes them available via BB(blackboard). I finish the class with a B ! This class was a little difficult (for me)but if you pay attention and read you'll do fine !
ONLINE CLASS - Must read assigned chapters weekly to do good. Probably a good 2-4 hours reading weekly. Discussion board and quiz every week. 10 questions with 20 min. 2 quizzes were 25 questions in 30 min. Finals are 50 questions in 60 min and tough if you don't read and study his materials. I enjoyed the class. He is clear on expectations.
You have a week to read a chapter and take a quiz. Exams aren't difficult if you read the material. No papers or term projects.
This is a fairly easy class. The online class has assignments due every Sunday and they are posted every Monday so it allows you a full week to complete the assignments.
I took Leffingwell online for psych 2301 summer semester and I would definitely recommend him. There are clear directions of what you need to do and when you need to do it by. Answers emails promptly, and gives extra credit!
I took Leffingwell Spring 2016 online after being out of school for 8-9yrs. This was a great class to take. Every test and quiz are timed but you have multiple attempts (quizzes only) I found if you actually read the chapters you should pass not needing the 2nd attempt. He offered soooo much extra credit! I would take him again and again!
Really easy online class. a quiz each week, 2 attempts with answers. A couple tests, taken 1 time. A few short answer questions and some discussion board assignments. Really hard to fail when given multiple times to take the quizzes.
Hands down BEST professor ever! You will not regret taking his class! Out of school for 11 years, thankful to have had him for PSYC. Passed with an A. Lots of EC, all tests were 50 questions. Read the chapter OR read from his PowerPoints and you will pass. Very caring and funny! Can't give him enough praise! I think he should have been tipped heavily/gifted by everyone at the end of the semester! Haha After taking his class, I am consider changing my Major from Nursing to Psychology. He's that amazing!
Class was alright, didn't give any feedback on short answer responses or discussion boards. LOTS of extra credit, do ALL of it. I would suggest working with a classmate with very assignments.
This was the first online class I've ever taken and I was really nervous because it was only 5 weeks. Everything was very straight forward. You get two attempts on the quizzes and exams. There were a few discussion boards and short answer questions that were easy. This class was an easy A and I highly recommend taking Professor Leffingwell.
Took for Summer 1. Did not need a textbook because prof provides powerpoints for chapters-they are long but if you read through them they will help you on tests and assignments. Offers extra credit! Enjoyed very much
Took him online for the summer. Super easy going, I got perfect scores for almost every assignment! Allows multiple attempts on quizzes and exams so you have chances to better your scores. Would definitely take again!
Easy A, you gotta be a whole dumbass if you dont pass this class.
He is really laid back and easy. The test were not that hard just gotta remember the vocab. Had a lot of extra credit opportunities do them !! The makeup test at the end helped the most with my grade. Study you notes and that's all you need in the class to pass.
The professor is super laid back and very easy to approach. It was kind of hard to communicate with him outside of class but i hardly had to. The tests were easy after looking at the study guides and doing the vocabulary.
Prof. Leffingwell. Great teacher, Gives you lots of extra credits. The text book isn't mandatory but he will ask you about the chapter so you gotta know that. drops a low quiz grade, which i don't understand why because the main grades come from the tests. Lectures are from power points that he uploads online.
Leffingwell is an awesome professor, but he's a little unorganized. However, you will learn a lot and should get a good grade if you put in good effort.
I took this class online and it was an easy A!!! Had one quiz a week, a few short answer assignments that took about 10 minutes to finish. All the answers are in the book or online. This was definitely the EASIEST class to take online and his power point presentations were easy to read and interesting!! Great teacher!!!!
He makes taking online classes easier (especially if you have a job). One db or short answer and one quiz a week and they're due on sunday's. It's an easy class and it's pretty fun too
Best prof that I had all Fall2019 semester his class was the only one I wanted to show up to! He has very good lectures and keeps u involved. U dont have to have your textbook he puts everything online for you to look back on but its nice to have for tests. You can use a notecard on tests also.
This class is honestly a little over-hyped on here. It may just be because I started with him in person but moved to online because of COVID-19 but he is NOT ACCESSIBLE outside of class and responding to emails is absolutely pathetic. I would not take this class with him EVER AGAIN!
The online course had quizzes every week. Read the chapters it will help you understand the notes. Overall, it was a bit challenging because you must understand the concept for the quizzes and exams but other assignments are relatively easy. Extra credit offered.
Quizzes were found on quizlet but the 4 exams were proctored. All the exam questions can be found in the book but was hard to look up each chapter in a limited time. The discussion boards and short answers were easy. The class is easy but you need the book to pass i would say!
Hes a goof professor, i really enjoyed taking his class. Everything is relatively easy in this class be sure to get everything done on time. I had a few problems taking exam through proctor and he takes a little while to review and respond to emails so you have to be patient on that and takes time on grading things. I cant complain though! take him
My only complaint with him is that he does not communicate very well and is a slow grader. Pretty much everything is online and the tests are open notes. An easy A just not my favorite professor. However, don't be scared to take him it is a pretty much guaranteed A.
Took online because of Covid. All "class work" is read the book and take online test. There were no lectures, he did not respond to email. Truly made no effort.
This class proved very difficult. He always showed up to class late, the entire class had to sit and wait. He never assigned any online assignments or study material like he said he would. He tells you that the exams are over certain chapters when they are not. His exams are usually 50 questions and you are allowed three index cards.
Do not take this professor if you do not like things to be unorganized! He says he will post things (powerpoints, activities, exams) and never does, it takes him weeks/month to post them. He showed up at least 10 min late to class everyday then ended class early. I had no idea what was happening in this class the whole semester. He's nice thats it.
If you want an easy class, take him. My only complaint would be that I didn't really learn anything. He lets you take 3 index cards for the exams but I never really needed them because he would either let us take our tests home or use a computer/phone on it. Only 10 assignments the whole semester but he drops the 2 with the lowest grades at the end
Definitely teaches from the Socratic method, does a great job of asking thought provoking questions. A little scatterbrained at times, but who isn't. PowerPoints have great external links connected to the subject which gives you the opportunity to dive deeper into the topic. Tests are extremely easy as long as you review the PowerPoints.
I really enjoyed this class. If you read the chapters and show up to class, you'll do great! There is a lot of reading but i found it interesting so it wasnt that bad. Tests are easy if you prepare yourself.
tests were pretty easy and gave lots of extra credit opportunities !
Class consisted primarily of four unit tests and occasional quizzes. It takes a mix of attending lectures, going through his PowerPoints, and reading the book to get a stellar grade. As much as I like him as a person, this was one of the most disorganized classes I took. Rarely graded things on time, was often late to class, but overall a good guy!
I'm not sure how good Michael is in-person, but his online course has been disappointing I feel that the materials provided are very lackluster and the professor does not engage with students. Most professors online keep up with us via announcements and are more active, but I haven't heard a word from Michael since the course began Easy grade tho
Easy A. He's usually late to class fyi.
I took a summer psychology course with Professor Leffingwell and it was very straight to the point. Consistent instructions every week with the same layout for every unit. Consists of small chapter quizzes and unit exams, would definitely take again.
Professor Leffingwell is a great teacher with a legitimate background in psychology. He's very knowledgeable and will help you if you ask for it. It was fun having him in the fall semester of 2021. My only criticism is communication. He would get back to students a week later. Nevertheless, a great professor.
Loved his lectures. Funny guy and great teacher. Offers plenty of extra credit. He posts plenty of resources and slides on Canvas but I would still get the textbook. My class was hybrid so we'd read at home and he'd go over it in class. Quizzes and exams (proctored) were online. He drops the 2 lowest assignments and makeup exam can replace lowest 1
Professor Leffingwell has thorough and entertaining lectures. He also puts the powerpoints and videos on canvas which is really helpful for studying. He gives a few random extra credit assignments during class so definitely try to be there as much as you can! Overall if you're needing a psych class I'd recommend him
exams weren't too dufficult, he wants you to do well and offers plenty of extra credit and notes during exams
He's not particularly strict and very understanding, theres extra credit as well. I would definitely take him again.
Engaging lectures and helpful extra credit opportunities. I found unstuck study useful for study prep. Overall, a straightforward class with a fair grading system.
