This is such a great teacher. You'll never ever regret if you take this class. The lectures are very interesting, the tests are very straight forward, and the professor is very helpful. Just study the handouts from the teacher and u'll be fine.

Papers were is easy as heck..if u jus have a pulse u should so fine..hes a students teacher..tests r sooo easy...u jus need to recog 1 word and he make up bogus choices for the other answers..i had only 6 mistakes out of 120 questions from allthe tes
Simply one of the most amazing professors at Oakton. hardvard grad who knows what he is talking about. 3 easy tests, and three very easy papers. No need to buy the book. Makes class interesting. Highly recommended.
In all honesty, he is the BEST teacher i had at Oakton. Very funny and engaging, and tells interesting stories to make the subject matter fun. After taking two of his classes (intro to psy, hum development) i would take another because of how good i felt after class.
Just all around awsome teacher.
OUTSTANDING INSTRUCTOR. ***YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY THE BOOK FOR ANY OF HIS COURSES EVER!!!***
Words cannot explain how amazing this man is...Find out for yourself
By far the best professor ever! If you have a chance to take one of classes, do not hesitate. He made the material extremely enjoyable to learn, and presents his class in an entertaining and exciting manner!
He is fun, entertaining, loves his job, and very fair teacher. He teaches like all teachers should. TAKE HIS CLASS and you will never regret it.
its true you dont have to buy the book, its true hes very clear and tests and assignments are very easy. its also true, hes a lot of fun and he obviously enjoys the subject and teaching. you will learn despite yourself ... you would have to work very hard to do poorly in his class.
meyerhoff is a wonderful teacher and reallys know a lot about this subject. attendance is key and the tests are very straight forward. lectures are interesting and he really has a way of captivating an audience with jokes and stories. he wants you to do well!
This teacher is freaking awesome! He's super funny, and totally easy to understand. If he taught another class I would so take it!
Simply amazing...
Anyone who doesn't take him is really missing out. No wonder what your major is, take his human development class!!! Literally the most amazing teacher you will ever have. Very easy A, and very funny funny lectures. Cant ask for more...
BEST class ever!!! 3 Tests....3 papers...gives u the notes..marks which words are going to be on the exams..memorize the definitions...and u will get an A for sure...papers are fun topics...4 pages each
awesome guy
All i have to say is that this guys is the coolest teacher ever... very easy no reason for you to get a bad grade
Family Guy with a family class setting
one of the best teacher i've ever met. his really funny and cool. very easy way of teaching and absolutely brilliant.
The best Teacher. His classes are very much interesting. There are 3 exams and 3 test. All are very easy and straight forward. There is no reason to get a a bad grade in this class.
Amazing teacher, learned a lot. 4 hours everyday, felt much much shorter. Easiest A I've ever gotten, too. Just read the notes, and don't be an idiot, and you'll get an A.
discussions are very clear, relates almost everything to real life experiences so learning is simple and interesting. he'll inspire u to really THINK and do well. there's no reason 4 u to get a bad grade, not because this is an easy subj but for the motivation u'll get to earn good grades.
GREAT TEACHER, HE PLAYS NO GAMES. GREEAT INSTRUCTOR. HE EXPECTS ALL HIS STUDENTS TO GET AN A, AND YOU WILL IF YOU TRY!
THE BEST! 3 Tests 3 Essays. Not a hard class because you have the notes pre written for you and stars next to what will be on the test. Nice guy and corny funny. Take him for a sure good grade and a smile out the door!
He is the BEST professor I have come across in my oakton experience. He makes humor out of serious life issues. His class would be easy to blow off and get an A but almost everyone participates because of his infectous personality. He is truely a diamond in the ruff when it comes to oakton professors. Harvard education on an Oakton budget.
Best teacher I think I ever had. Gives all notes on first day-- they are typed! Follow the outline during class and attend every class. Wonderful teacher!!! THE TEXTBOOK IS NOT USED-- RETURN IT!!!
DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. EASY CLASS. FUN TEACHER. He has a lot to say and it makes you think a lot about your own life.
THE EASIEST CLASS ON EARTH!!! Like u read PLEASE return the book U DO NOT NEED IT AT ALL!!! U dont even have to take notes because the 1st day he gives u a packet w all the notes. If u study the terms w astrics (stars) next to them the day of or night b4 u will easily get an A, B the lowest.TaKE HIM U WILL NOT REGRET is is an easy A 2 boost urGPA!
really good teacher... had fun in class, easy tests and papers
EASIEST TEACHER EVER! you dnt realli have to do antying except show up...realli funnie n nice...time flies by fast in his class...dnt even bother to buy da textbook, not necessary at all!
One of a very few great teachers at Oakton. Words can't explain. 3 tests - 3 paper. Show up to class and follow notes. That's it. Very enthusiastic about what he teaches. A lot of knowledge.
Dont buy book for him, you will never use it. He is very good one take him if you can
AWESOME TEACHER!!!!!!....he is hilarious....but dont buy the book because u dont use it!
One of the greatest teachers I ever had. Very intresting and easy class.Easy essays just make sure they're the min. page limit and whatever you do DON'T BUY THE BOOK!! ALL OF HIS EXAM QUESTIONS ARE FROM THE NOTES YOU GET AT THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS!!!!
Great teacher. Interesting lectures. DON'T BUY THE BOOK!!!
Excellent professor. He extremely clear about everything, and the notes he hands out are spectacular. He likes what he teaches, and teaches with great enthusiasm. He's very funny, and has (funny)comparisons of any topic at hand to the real-world. As many have said, do not buy the book.
AMAZING teacher. straight to the point. 95% of the test is from the stufy guide that he gives you. Really funny guy with great anecdotes. Laid back guy. It's easy but at the same time, very informational. only like 3 VERY easy papers to write.
THE MOST AMAZING TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD. This is one of classes where you learn and you like it. i learned SO MUCH & im not the best student. When he explains the theories & terms he gives CLEAR examples of all of them so its easy to understand. Everything on the test is in the notes he gives you. Study the ones with the * and you'll get an A. EASY.
really is the best prof.in Oakton. Very interesting teacher, explains everything super clearly, 3 very easy exams, 3 papers. No need to buy the textbook.
Gave a study guide, the test was the same as what was gone over in class
He's Awesome! Funny, great class to take! I already miss his class! :(
great teacher..always has a sense of humor.keeps your attention during the whole class.makes you understand everything.
What is this professor doing teaching at Oakton? A great professor and his talent should be spread worldwide. Fortunately I got to learn so much from him. Knowledge I know I'll be using for the rest of my life.
Hes SOOOOOOOOO FUNNY!!!
I love,love,love, Meyerhoff! He explains concepts with real life examples; making class interesting and fun! He gives the notes from the chapter and then explains them!Such a cool guy!I never wanted to miss a lecture because the examples help so much!Don't buy the book though, you won't use it and it's a waste of money! Never openend mine. Love him
Very funny class!! If you take this class, you will enjoy everyday day that your there! Not too much homework, but if you complete all assignments and follow instructions, you will get an easy A
Fun class!!!!!!! being in that class was something that i will never forget for the rest of my life.... take him because it's for your own good, benefit, and things that you will learn in that class is something that you could use for the rest of your life. 3 easy essays, and 3 easy test!! easy A!!
HE'S THE BESTT!! omg SERIOUSLY take his class you won't regret it! YOU DON'T NEED THE BOOK AT ALL. DO NOT SPEND THAT $150! All lectures but they're INTERESTING and he's HILARIOUS! 3 Exams & 3 Papers. Makes the class that much easier! I consider myself SO LUCKY that I picked his class!! Omg really. You def won't regret it. I PROMISEE. :)
Seriously one of the best teachers ever. Gives you everything you need to know on the first day. You dont have to buy the book but i used it for more complete definitions of some terms in my papers but what he gives you is sufficient. Very funny too. Seems to care about attendance but doesnt as long as you get an A hes happy.
Best teacher ever! I wish all professors were like Meyerhoff. He's very straightforward on what you need to do to get an A. Gives you no busywork and the papers are fairly easy. just read the directions! no book needed. lectures were pretty interesting. just get to class on time though.
This teacher was great. He was one of my favorite teachers at Oakton. He teaches and goes through everything on the notes he gives you. Asks if there are any questions on topics, and makes class entertaining. He's a great funny guy and has all the knowledge on his subject. Easy A, he doesn't accept anything lower ;)
hes not as easy as you think. The tests are easy, but he grades the papers togher than an english teacher!!...he doesn't give 50% atleast for trying but a straight 0!!
Really funny... Gives good examples and notes..Take him!
He is great one of the best teachers i have ever had. he focuses more on peoples common sense. its a great class and he gives funny and great examples. if u are very sensitive dont take this class he is very blunt which is great :)
Awesome teacher. Very funny old man. Easy 3 papers and 3 exams, no finals. It was just an awesome class and easy to get an A.
I fell inlove with his class, if you have a choice, take him. He is wonderful, he gives you a different out look on our society, which I never even thought about. "Psychologists are idiots," as he says. But he is sure not one of them... I wish i took all teh classes with him:)
VERY EASY!!! he gives you a packet and it has all the notes for all the chapters...so no writing in class just listen....3 esay..not difficult...3 test that are very easy if you study his notes...
Extremely easy class!!! If you have a chance, definitely take him!!! The teacher is very entertaining; he cracked me up every single class. I was looking forward to going to his class. He doesn't like students being late though.
One of the best professors I've ever encountered. He truely makes the subject of human development interesting and fun. I would recommend this professor to anyone. You won't regret it.
Great professor! Dr. Meyerhoff is awesome and the class is fun. Don't be late! You DO NOT need the textbook so save the money. You won't be sorry.
His classes were always very interesting. He always tells hilarious stories and gives really good examples. You don't have to buy the book because he gives you everything you need in a packet he puts together. I wish he taught more classes.
Best class and professor I've ever had! He makes class interesting! He grades hard on papers but the tests are easy!! And don't be late, he'll stop class and call u out!!!
You don't need the book, he gives you a packet with everything you need to know and makes a note of exactly what is on the test. You have 3 papers and he tells you exactly how to do them. If you can't get an A in this class you are a moron. Show up on time and don't leave early and he'll like you.
I love Psychology, but only learned diminutive amounts of information from him. If you score 100% on ALL work, and are a minute late multiple times, he will give you a B. This is college not High school, but he teaches like it is H.S. Unfair and just tries to be a joker.
very good professor. he wants 3 papers from you. he gives three tests. He is very intelligent in this subject. often times he makes it funny too. he makes this class and informative. i got an A by studying his notes. He is very willing to look over papers before the due dates! He is very helpful. Attendance is required. he accepts only two absents!
very good profesor. only three test and papers. very caring and funny. makes learning fun for everybody. looks over rough drafts of papers if you need help or in doubt of what to write. He is very good teacher who sincerly cares about each student Two absents are only allowed. I never seen a better teacher than him. He is very nice and intelligent.
Love this teacher!!!! Definitely take him! He's so funny and real, only 3 papers and 3 tests, pretty simple; just read directions and you'll get an A
Old school professor,so do not be late. Have respect. Other than that, very funny lectures(believe me you'll laugh hard) but brings material down to you in a way that sticks to your memory.So definately a must professor for all psychology classes.
Wonderful teacher. Willing to help if you ask. Asks for only three papers and three exams. No homework. Has notes prepared and you are tested based on it. As for papers he gives you the instructions on the first day and explains how to do well on it.
He was Great! Easy! Hes so funny too.
TAKE HIM!!! I wish he taught more than just Psy. He is very clear, gives short review of previous class before beginning the next lesson. If you don't get an A it's because you didn't try.
excellent teacher,very knowledgeable and funny. Had 3 papers and 3 tests the whole semester and no busy work. You can pass this class as long as you work hard on those and show up. If you are taking psychology take it with this teacher.
A must professor for PSY. He is very clear on what he wants and also very helpful. 3 papers and 3 exams. Exams are easy because he gives you notes and that is all that you study. The way he explains sticks to memory. Papers are easy too, if you understand the topic which is not a problem. Don't be late to class! Excellent professor!
This teacher is the best! He is hilarious. There is no need to buy the box he types all the notes for you in a huge packet he gives you in the beginning of the semester. 3 papers and 3 tests. He's an okay grader. I enjoyed coming to his class
Best professor ever! 3 exams and 3 papers. He does grade a little bit strict on the papers so watch out. Be on time, or he will make fun of you if you arrive to class late. exams are based off the notes he will give you on the first day of class. honestly, this is an essay class but it does require EFFORT. LOVE HIM!
Best teacher ever taking his classm along with PSych 101 is one of teh reason why i decided to major in Psychology in the first place. I highly recommend taking his class.
This probably was the best class I ever took at Harper. He is one of the best teachers ever. Attendance is mandatory and DONT be late, he will call you out. He gives you the information you need to know straight up and he gives real life examples to help you learn the concepts. You don't use the book. I highly recommend Professor Meyerhoff!
HANDS DOWN THE BEST CLASS I'VE EVER TOOK IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.He is also the best teacher I have ever had.He is hilarious, knowledgeable, and he teaches crystal clear.The tests are super easy (basically definitions); however, the essays are tricky because he is not an easy grader when it comes to those. Regardless, Take this class.You'll love it.
TAKE HIM, Whatever you do. Best class I have ever taken! You learn a lot of information, but... It's easy! He gives great examples, and a study guide! I'd take the class again for fun, Loved it!
He is rude to students and embarrasses students every class. DONT TAKE!
SO hard! Doesn't use textbook! 3 really hard papers & he's a hard grader! :(
Best teacher I've ever had. Really nice guy and hilarious. He know's his stuff and his class is very simple. Don't buy the book you don't need it. Tells you exactly what's on the test (kind of hard to fail them) Papers are tricky, he's a tough grader, but gives you a handout on how to do well on the paper. Would take this class again just for fun!
If you can take a joke, take this class. He has a bizarre sense of humor but he is hilarious. Really smart guy who genuinely wants you to learn something.
He's straight forward and takes the anxiety out of class. There are 3 exams and 3 papers. Study his notes and attend class (his lectures are hilarious) and you'll do fine. His papers aren't hard either and he gives you plenty of time to finish them. He's a doctor of his trade and knows his stuff.
He doesn't use the textbook at all and his lectures are lengthyconfusing. It was very hard to follow along throughout the semester.. I never missed one class & I have straight A's after going to OCC for 2 years and I recieved a C in his class. :( He's a very hard grader and calls people out & isn't afraid to embarrass you:(
Very easy going, fun class, not much work, 3 tests, 3 papers. The tests are exactly like the study guide, as are the papers.
I don't know what other students like about him so much he is rude. He isn't much helpful because if you did something wrong he basically tells you, you screw up its your fault not mine i explain it, desnt give you a break. Wouldn't take and he doesn't use textbook, what a waste of money.
Dr. Meyerhoff is a funny teacher who is very smart and straight to the point. 3 tests and 3 essays. No homework. His class is very interesting. Definitely recommend it. Do not skip class, his examples during lecture will help you out a lot. Come to class, listen, study for tests, and try on your essays and you will do just fine :) Enjoy the laughs!
Dr. Meyerhoff is a great facilitator; his lectures are informative and often funny. He is very easy going and does not require that you have the textbook; all you need is the study guide that he gives at the beginning of the course. 3 essays and 3 tests are required.
Crude sense of humor. Everything that you will be tested on is handed to you on a silver platter. You will easily ACE the class if you memorize the handful of notes he assigns for each test. He clearly wants you to succeed.
He was very interesting to learn from, considering he is a major psychology professor. He gives VERY clear outlines and it is very easy to pass his class if you attend class and listen to his lectures. Yes, he does lecture a lot, but if you're into psych you'll really enjoy it.
all i have to say is if you love psych you will love his class. he's very clear as to whats on tests. he's very funny, and opinionated. loved working and learning with him.
Dr. Meyerhoff is a great professor. He is very entertaining, intelligent, and has a passion for teaching. You will have 3 papers & 3 exams. He provides clear instructions on how to do well on each paper, and a study guide with all the material that will be covered on the exams. Also, don't be late to class! No textbook needed.
