Favorite teacher of all time!!! Thank you!!!
very hard tests!!!but really good teacher
No Comments
Do Not Take ! If you want an easy pass do not take duly!
Mike Dulay is a very passionate teacher. I had him for the hybrid class. His lectures are very interesting.... and his tests come straight from the book. If you actually read the material and really understand what you're reading... you'll be fine.
A GREAT TEACHER! inspired me to be a psych major....very intersting and TONS of fun
Great class but it is difficult! You really have to study to be able to understand the concept. He inspired me to go into neuroscience. Wonderful teacher!
Mike expects his students to act like college students, meaning study, work hard and learn. He is willing to assist his students in reaching those goals.
RUN! Save yourselvessssssssssssssss! Very, very, very hard teacher (tests are HELL)but interesting class...
holy mother of god this class is so friking hard. when i read a book which i dont very often i get an "A" on a test. i read the book toook notes on it and i got a friking "D". very very hard class.
He's a Hot Tamale
Dulay was my first college teacher. Starting college in his class was dope. He teaches the material with passion and enthusiam. I would recommend him greatly, but I warn you he is hard.
He was also my first college class as a concurrent high school student. He was so fresh, it was so fun coming to his class. He's extremely passionate. He's not easy (I barely got a B) but it's nothing hard (I was just lazy). He's always there for you.
Great teacher! He is not a hard teacher. All you have to do is read the book! His tests are based on the book and if you read the material you will easily get A's and B's. Also go online and take the practice quizes the book has available!
he makes the class so interesting. i always looked forward to his lectures and he's a fair grader. his multiple choice test are hard though.
he is the best teacher ever. hes hilarious and makes psych really fun. hes really fair too...just read and you'll be ok but i promise this class will NEVER bore you!
my 2 friends, my husband, and i had him for asian-american studies all in the same semester. i learned so much about other cultures and my own asian-american heritage! speaking for all of us, i think we really appreciated the knowledge. i reccomend his class if you really want to learn something.
Possibly the best lecturer at GCC. Very entertaining while still getting across the points he needs to give. Tests are difficult, no doubt. But if you really get into psych, its still possible to get an A. Made me want to become a psych major, too bad theres nothing to do after u graduate.
The greatest teacher i have had at GCC. He's so passionated about the subject. He's a lot of fun and will always find a way to make the class interesting. No one falls asleep there, but it's a hard class, if you like challenge, this is your man
Class was hard, note taking was not helping and reading was not helping, test were confusing, his style was absolutely bad
Great teacher who challenges you to learn. On the other hand, his tests and essays are one to make you cringe. Read, listen, and review notes is the best way to pass.
complete jackass. Avoid if possible.
Love the class, great teacher, don't miss out on this class (and don't get scared away by the first week, all you need to do is have fun and enjoy the class instead of stressing so much about memorizing and grades)
He is a great teacher. A lot of people think that his class is so hard, but I think it was a great challenge and pleasure to be his student. I highly recommend that students take his class because he relates what you learn to what you see in everyday life.
Often called the hardest teacher at GCC but worth the effort.
This guy is the bomb. He is hilarious and you are going to love psych after this class. BUT its hard, dont kid yourself. But you will want to pay attn in class because he's so cool and relatable.
Hes the bomb. coolest teaher at GCC. hes fun and funny. But u do have to work to pass class so dont kid yourself but he makes everything seem real easy so dont worry.
hes funny, interesting, and kinda cute.. BUT his class is really hard.. especially the tests!
A really GOOOOD teacher! One of the best teachers ive ever had. Dont get scared away the first few weeks, it gets easier and very interesting. He's so funny and makes the subject relatable and will do anything to help students understand the material u just need to ask 4 help. just pay attention during lectures and youll be fine
Easily the coolest teacher at GCC. He got me interested in the material and the class. Class was not as hard as others say it was. This was a fun class that made learning fun and I recommend him to anyone taking psych 101.
Not an easy A by any stretch. Though I did get an A in his class I didn't find it to be as hard as many people claimed it to be. Very easy to understand, fun to listen to, very knowledgable, funny. He is the best Psychology teacher in this school. May be the best teacher in the school. Tough but you will learn alot from him. Awesome teacher!!!
Tough teacher, made class interesting and fun, A great teacher and an even nicer person. If you really want to learn, his is the class to take.
He was great! I learned a great deal from his lectures. However, he is not the easist. His real life example made alot of sense. If you don't want to learn about psych, don't take his class. Test are not easy and can sometimes be very difficult. Overall, I had lots of fun...not an easy class!
AWESOME teacher!! One of the best at gcc. Really cares about his students and actually wants them to learn. He is really understandable and wants u to approach him if u have any questions at all, always willing to help u. Gives great notes and makes the course really interesting. You also have to make time to read & study. Few gr8 teachers like him
Very cooooool guy. Made the class super interesting & fun. His exams were not easy but do-able. Just make sure to take real good notes.
!!!wow just wow!!!
Interesting and enthusiastic teacher. Lectures are so much fun, and discussions are facinating. Will make you work for your grade, but is also very helpful.
He's a great teacher, tough but fair. The tests are impossible if you don't know the material, but if you keep up with the reading and lecture notes, you should be fine. I really learned something in this class. We need more like him!
Fantastic teacher
Dulay is not a clear lecturer, concentrates too much on Fraud when other psychology teachers just skim over his as I believe should be done. His homework assignments are gear towards full time students so don't take this class unless you have all day to do just his homework.
Hes a fun teacher. Hes actually normal and he knows his material. You can tell he actually cares about the students grades and tries to make class funner. Definetely need more teachers like him.
This was the online class. He has alot of energy and makes class discussion interesting. If you want remember what you learned take him. No tests!
Great teacher, difficult tests (50 mc, error correction essays). Its ok tho - his teaching methods are so well developed that you learn the subject whether you want to or not. 3 tests (drops the lowest), one short research report, 100 mc final. No Homework. Dulay's class is definitely one of the more interesting ones you will ever encounter.
WOW! I could probably write a book about this guy. Probably the most interesting class you'll ever take, especially if you like Psych. Even if you don't, he'll trip you out either way. He's the reason I chose Psych. as one of my majors, and that was before I even took his class. This is what college is all about. Take him if you want to learn.
great professor.. his class is challenging. he prepares his students for university and makes the class discussion fun at the same time...
His classes were fun, but his tests are very hard. He's a funny guy who knows his stuff & is willing to help out any student with a question. His tests prepare u for upper-division courses and for any1 who wants to obtain a Masters. Altho his tests r broad in scope, just study really hard & u'll do fine.
Dulay is a great teacher. He's tough, but definately fair, and his lectures are very engaging. You earn your grade in his class. The tests are hard, but they prepare you for higher division work. If you keep up with the reading and don't miss the lectures, you should do fine.
if u do ur work u'll pass
hard class but fun. Keeps class interesting and is easily one of the most down to earth teachers ever. He is such a good person and you can really tell he is sincere about helping the students. Tests are hard but you can pull it off if you study. I didnt.
i took the hybrid class by mistake (its half in class, half online). very intimidating on the first day, but ended up being an AWESOME teacher. very clear on everything. doesnt act superior but comes to our level to teach everything he knows. no tests in this class. very approachable and helpful. i recommend this class!
He is the best teacher I have ever had! He is so passionate about teaching and helping his students. His test was hard but if you try hard, and talk to him if you need help, you will be fine. I just took his class because I needed it for my GE class, but I am so glad that I took his class! I even thought of changing my major because of him.
Dulay was the best professor I had at GCC, hands down. Yes, his class is challenging, but that's because he wants you to LEARN, not to just memorize and repeat information. And if you actually go to class, you will definitely learn. His lectures are both fascinating and applicable, and you can tell he's passionate about teaching.
My favorite professor so far...he is awesome!!! He cares so much about the subject.
SO FULL OF HIMSELF AND HIS KNOWLEDGE ITS KINDA ANNOYING HOW COCKY HE IS!!!!!!!!!
He was intimidating the first day that I wanted to dropp it but I worked each week to get everything done therefore I got an A. He teaches great that each week you want to come back for more.
THIS TEACHER IS HAAAAARD. GOOD LUCK NON PSYCH MAJORS!!
good teacher but nothing easy no easy A maybe no A's at all
i had alottttttttt of fun in this classs. hes da best teacher to teach this subject. hes very into it BUTTT his tests are very hard dont expect to just Ace it u gatta work for it. youll learn alottt from this class just pass the tests!
Quite possibly the most intriguing professor I have taken to date. A+++!
he's smug and incredibly hard. dont expect to get an a. maybe a c with alot of studying! u'll regret it if u take his class, believe me. he expects the students to know the book and his material to a T.
Test are Damn Hard!!! Gud Luck Non Psych majors
One thing I've learned on this site is: don't be deterred by students that say teachers are hard. "Hard" is all relative to your intelligence and work ethic. If you have above average intelligence, and/or are willing to compensate for a lack thereof with determination, you should get at least a B in his class.
hes ok.
Tough but fair. Doesn't give much homework except for an essay and a research paper. Other than that he grades based off exams. If you're good with exams and don't want to be bothered with too much homework, take this class. But know your stuff or you're screwed. A lot of reading, but info is covered in class. Make sure you show up or youll be lost
College is what you make of it and Dulay is a prime example. Though I learned about the world of psychology and all of its eccentric aspects, what became the most apparent value of this class was the expansion of my flexibility to view the world around me. In short me made me wiser, and not just in the academical aspect. The class is also very easy
Mike Dulay is the best professor at GCC. One of the best I've had ever. I wil audit his evening class just to participate. HE is the**** if you, like me, want to go beyond just getting a grade. I only got a C because I didn't deserve better. I didn't have time to participate fully.
Professor Dulay changed my way of seeing and probably changed my life. People make more sense. The common belief is that Psych 101 is pretty boring, but I will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again! I actually wanted to get up and go to class every single day. It was record attendance for me!
very very hard teacher, everything is done to make tests harder and harder....if u look for an easy way to get a good grade, forget taking his class...
Mike Dulay is a cool teacher. He can relate to how it is to be a college student, so he tries to make things as understandable as possible. He is very helpful and really does want you to succeed. His tests are kind've hard because they aren't as simple as other tests. The textbook you'll need is "Psychology: Selected Chapters for GCC by Coon."
Awesome Professor...very interesting lectures and material...some of his tests are hard,but worth taking for sure...
I LOVE HIM.. he has such a charisma.. very professional attitude and great knowledge of what he is doing. He is definately the best teacher i have had so far.
Very informative and effective professor.
one of the coolest teachers ever...connects with the students and explains everything really well, and lets you use one of the inexpensive books!
He is an exellent teacher. He is so helpful, I've never met a teach that went out of his way to help a falling student. I went from Failing to a B with his help. The subject is pretty interesting, and grading is very fair. This teacher is highly recommended!
Funny, smart, interesting. Wonder if he used to do stand-up before. Great Teacher! He sparked my interest in Psychologie!!
Mike is a passionate, down to earth teacher. He is definitely not your traditional, textbook, scantron instructor. Refreshingly "out-of-the-box". Good guy, but you have to work for the grade. I'd recommend him to any aspiring teachers.
whoever gave the comment below is an idiot. This professor isn't boring and he teaches with passion. He wants to spark their minds and he does. He makes psych so intersting. I only missed his class once and that was an emergency. He's not easy. I didn't work as hard as i could but i got a B. I slacked a lot too. Just listen to his lectures, no book
This teacher has difficulty getting through his lecture if your not knodding and acting like you completly agree with him and all his ideas. Not to say his ideas arent great...some of us get TIERED of that "save the world" attitude once in a while. He requires extra hrs outside of class...the schedule i commited to in taking the class was gone
Awesome teacher...very into his subject. Fun Class!
OMG is was so hard i ended up DROPIN w a W.! like he makes you feel like u no wats up in clas on de test its like so hard.i didnt no wat to do and TRUST ME am AN A STUDENT n icouldnt pass de class..we started w 50 ppl ppl were sittin on de floor.then ended up w20 or les i dnt exaclty recall how many.so ya if u smart as hell in dat subject den idnt
He's the BEST teacher I have ever had.He is extremely helpful. I had him during summer session. he made it really interesting.He really He really makes you think about everyday life and appriciate what you have. HE IS THE BEST.
I understand his lectures but have no clue what he wants when it comes to projects. Extreamly unclear about assignments but I admit very passionate about his topics and teaching in general. I have mixed feelings about this teacher...
Mr. Dulay is a very good teacher. He is funny, he helps you to see the world from a different point of veiw, you will have learn something, and really into psychology. I would suggest to take his class by itself because there is a lot of reading, and his test are filling in the blanks. Mr. Dulay is incomprehensible explaining his class assignments.
for such a serious subject, he makes the class pretty fun. hes very very funny! and keeps it interesting. he brings him self to a students level, and realtes to us alot. BUT this is in NO WAY an easy class. alot of reading, info, and the tests are pretty hard. but all together a great teacher
Don't take this teacher in this subject. The course include only two exams and he is not clear in what you have to study for them. Avoid him!
best class ever!!! i swear, you'll never feel sleepy in his class. his very funny but you have to put a lot of time into reading the book. i took him over the summer and he gives a lot of free points. you just have to be there in every class because he gives exercises with points
Funny Guy, You will learn something, but for you to pass the quizes and exams NO WAY,, he is not clear in what he wants you to study, he just write down the pager numbers of half of the book and excpects u to read? lectures have nothing to do with tests..
so far so good hes so funny and interesting in class but doesnt give hw and ur whole grade depends on 3 tests .. he drops the lowest one but theyre HARD :[ if u try hard ull do good hes fun!
He was a really good teacher. Made the class fun and related the topics to modern day examples so everyone could understand. He actually cares about his students and he's very smart. I really recommend him.
He seems like a really chill and cool guy but his class is seriously way too hard. And he's completely unreachable, you can email him 100 times you won't get a response. He will keep you awake and the class is fun until you take tests and you get owned because your teacher would rather make you laugh then learn, whats the point -_-
One of the best teachers I've ever had. Mr. Dulay is a really nice person and anyone I have talked to about him that has had him in the past agree that he is one of their favorites. The tests will be hard if you don't study for them, but he explains things very easily in class, and his lectures are entertaining.
The best professor I have met in my 4-year college life.Do not take in consideration the negative comments, those are the subjective observations of lazy folks.He challenges you to study & learn to be able to stand on your own feet for the future, which is the ultimate goal of attending college. Take the class!You learn a lot & have so much fun.
What he teaches in class is different then what is on the test. I admit if you study hard you will get the grade you want in psychology;yet his class was totaly different. The class started with probably 60 students ended with estimated 15 students!
Do not take mike for pysch. His lectures are all over the place and do not follow the syllabus. The tests are not on lectured material. he misses class often and is late 90% of the time. The only thing he taught our class was how to gang sign and what a horrible childhood he had. He never returns email and is totally unreachable. 1/2 the class drop
Instructor contradicts most of what is on his test. He claims most is from lecture or textbook and it is always the opposite. He tries to relate to the younger crowd using old school and outdated information. He also has a fetish with profanity. He is boring and outdated.
If you're considering to transfer to 4-year college, majoring in psychology, MR. DULEY IS THE TEACHER YOU WANT TO HAVE. I took psych 101, 102 with him on 2002. His classes require work but his lectures are crystal clear and if you take notes and read the book you'll be successful. What you learn in his class stays and serves beautifully. Thanks!!!
Theres two sides to rating him. He has interesting views on life and makes you interested in his lecture. However he is mentally insane and thinks that every student has 10 hours a night studying for JUST his class. His tests are ridic, I wouldnt recommend him to anyone!
one of my fav teachers of all time, really engaging, makes learning fun and interesting. if you make an attempt in this class you'll catch on and it should be a breeze.
I honestly regret taking his 5-week class... but ONLY b/c it was so brief. Mike is a wonderful teacher and an even more impressive person. His lectures were extremely engaging and fun and his class was reasonably challenging w/o being overwhelming. He provided extra credit on all his test and if you keep up w/ the reading you'll be fine. Take him!
If Psychology is your major, take his class. If your taking Psychology for a G.E. then take someone more easier. Thats my most advice.
He only tests on the book. his lectures are useless. I was an A student until i took hi class. Now I had to fight for a low B. DO NOT TAKE HIM for psyc 101.
Mike is the best. I didn't even want to miss a sec of his lecture. very smart, but friendly guy. you just have to take notes, and read the book, is that too much? and you can retake the online quizes like 6-8 times, and there are extra credit build into the grading.
He is really funny and makes class interesting. You learn a lot, but the stuff on the test is mostly important ppl and theories that he doesnt go over in class so you really need to read and focus on the readings, bc if not you WILL fail!! Tests are reallyyyy hard!!
Man he is veery cool and nice. He is also funny and makes learning easy like no teacher i have met. I even think he is cute. keep it up Mr. Dullay.
Probably one of the, if not the best teacher I ever had at GCC. Amazing teacher.
Mike is a great teacher! He kept class interesting and I hated missing one of his lectures. I learned a lot I would recomend him before any other psch teacher. I took psch 106 and got a B I wish I could of took him for 106 also. I hated his final though its acumulative which killed my grade in his class =(
Professor Dulay is the best professor Gcc has to offer. His class was difficult, I admit, but it was worth the sleepless nights of reading and studying. I went in Psych to get rid of some units and came out with it being my major and Dulay did that for me. I would definitely recommend his class. He's passionate, hilarious, well educated! Loved him!
He's crazy! Insane! This is not the kind of class that you can take if your a full time student with other hard classes! Tests are just intense! Nothing In life is easy but cmon now!
Great teacher very intelligent but recommend this class for a psych major! Test are just too hard!
Mike Dulay might just be one of the best professors I've ever had. He is dynamic, easy to understand and funny! His class is really hard though. If you don't read the book, you'll be in trouble. I got a D in his class, but that was my fault, not Mike Dulay's. Great teacher.
His test are impossible to past! Even after reading the whole book and memorizing the key words you will still struggle to get a passing grade. One + is, his lectures are really interesting, he does a lot of comparing his family to the lectures tho. Good luck if you try taking his class.
GREAT teacher, HARD class. study the book, become the one with the book -__- his tests are multiple choice, but half are pretty confusing. he's not organized, but at least he doesn't miss class.
This class is not too hard, but when you have a instructor who contradicts a lot of his own material, it makes it hard to trust test questions. A lot of the test questions were hard to trust, and he was wrong too many times. I got an A, but I had to bust my hump to get it!
Really amazing Professor and one of my favorites. If your major is Psychology, i definitely recommend him. Loved his lectures a lot and his notes were very helpful. Take lots of notes, pay attention to his lectures, look over the slides and read the book! It's lot's of material that you have to remember so schedule your time wisely!
Very lazy teacher. Teaching might not be his first priority due to the fact that he does other things on campus. Does not do what is expected of him as a teacher such as grading the tests on time. Does not reply to emails. His class is not difficult if you study and read the book for sure!
He has knowledge about the subject but his tests are difficult. In order to receiving an a in his class you will have to do a lot of studying and reading. Also, he does not grade the tests on time there for its difficult to know your progress. He does not do what is expected of him as a teacher.
Honestly, he is very educated on the subject. But so unorganized, doesnt even let students know there progress, throughout the course i emailed him numerous times and he never responded. not helpful. seems like he would rather focus on things outside his teaching requirements
he is a great teacher be ready to take notes and study he will explain anything you have a question about he is such an intelligent and remarkable teacher take him hes not easy but its worth it!
It's hard not to like Mike. Possibly one of the least condescending teachers in GCC. Shamefully, as he is positioned on the chair, he won't be available to teach more classes. Highly recommended.
mike is a awesome guy no question about it. but hes tests will make you fail his class even though you will learn more in his class then in any class in your life. its quite simple, it does not matter to him if you pass or dont unlike the other teachers. this class messed up my gpa, so i would suggest taking somebody else.
Great professor. Lectures are extremely interesting, you will definitely learn a lot. In order to receive a respectable grade I recommend keeping up with ALL of the reading and taking good notes. Review thoroughly before the tests and you should be good. I got a B in the summer session, it's not easy - but I'm glad I took his class.
Not fair, not a good teacher. Not willing to help you learn.
Highly recommended instructor.Unique personality.Very helpful when he notices that you want to learn.Once you get his class you will never forget about him, his teaching style and the materials he teaches :)
he was one of the helpful teachers that I met and he was so clear in his lecturing. just try to attempt all his classes and follow his orders you will definitely get an easy A.
Mike is a cool professor. I'm currently taking his 101 class n he makes it very interesting and fun class. He's fair, ready to help you if any questions.. Although I bombed my second exam, it was all my fault. Overall I think if you study hard and pay attn to his notes, you'll be fine. So I'd highly recommend him
Mike is a great professor overall, but he doesn't grade too easily, so make sure you do your part and study! His tests are fairly hard, so he basically tests to see if you really listen in class and do the reading/take notes. I got a D in his class, but I know I could have studied a little more, so I don't blame him. :0)
So so teacher. Gives long funny lectures in class with a lot of notes as well as pages to read from the textbook. Tests are very inconsistent with nothing specific being focused on. It could be from vocab words to which disease causes what. Hard to get a hold of. Tried emailing him as well as calling and he never got back to me.
if you are not ready to study on your own, do not take him. his lectures are fun but nothing much after that. tests include things thats not covered in lectures. quizes have no relation to tests. overall 6/10
He is a great teacher during lecture he is very funny and gives a lot of examples that stick. Have to study hard his test require it-- test could be about anything. He does not turn in your grades in time.Nor can you reach him by email you have to go to his office hours.And once you can get a hold of him he will take the time and talk to you.
I pulled allnighters for his tests. They are long and worth a lot of points, but if you study you will do well because it's not hard. Sadly, it's very hard to reach him and it takes him about a month to give back tests. You never know what your grade is in the class as he never gives updates. I worked for an A. I ended up with a B.
He's all over the place, changed the syllabus once and decided to give more points toward a project than the final exam. Pushed back exams and expected a lot form the project even though a lot of us aren't Psych. majors. He doesn't keep you updated on your grade. Definitely don't recommend. I emailed him a few times with no response.
Mr. Dulay is one of the best teachers in GCC. Take him and you will enjoy his class;)))
He is a great instructor whose lectures are both entertaining and informative. However, the tests are not easy so you have to read up on the vocabulary and take extensive notes from both the lectures and the book in order to pass the class with a decent grade. The work is cut out for you, but you must be willing to study on your own!
He taught many of us how to think about thinking.
Hi is an excellent teacher.
not a good teacher
Attendance was mandatory simply because I took his once a week class on Fridays. It was a lot of information to digest, but he gets to the meat of things. (Food references all the time.) Overall, he was really fun, invigorating, and a change from all the other lectures. Definitely did not mind sitting in a classroom for three hours on a Friday!
not a good one, his tests are very conceptual. not good if you have to take this class for GE. he is too serious about his classsss...it is not fun, seriously. it was too difficult too pass.it was waste of time, money and energy for a GE course...
I took Mike's class for the Summer 2014 session. The lectures are entertaining, but reading is definitely required. Exams seemed like they were more on the material in the book than from lecture. The course was fast paced as summer classes usually are. Definitely learned a lot in 5 weeks. Mike's a great teacher.
He's a great professor and outstanding human being. His examples and illustrations for many psychological concepts are amazing! The book we used over the summer was so affordable which made up for the odd experience of not having a paper book. I think he's the type of person who excels at whatever he does, and his jokes are hilarious!
FAVORITE teacher. His class is lecture with power point. he keeps you interested and engaged the whole class. He is very easy to understand and follow during lecture. Not too much reading from the book. tests are mostly of in class notes and some book.
Class was memorable. Met for more than 3 hours, but it never felt like it. Its cool the way he tries to get cheaper books for his students.
Amazing teacher! I wish he taught some more psychology classes though. The only thing I would advise is look at the short answer and error corrections he has on Moodle. Those will definitely help with that section of the exam. Always made us laugh during lectures. Just all around awesome, chill person. I would take more classes with him for sure
TAKE HIM! 3 tests, 3 quizzes, one research paper and final. Class is composed of a lot of reading and he includes things from the lectures into the tests, so attendance is mandatory. He's funny and clear. The only bad things is that he takes forever to hand back tests and answer emails because he's chair for his dept.
really funny and helps you understand the material. His tests are a little confusing at times. A little slow on grading.
simply no no no ....
Very hard to get a hold of, don't expect any returned e-mails from him. Takes forever to grade tests and return them. Crammed tons of material into his tests that you simply do not have time to review all of for. His lectures are long, but did not really get anywhere.
If this is not one of your major courses and/or you don't have loads of free time during the semester, I would highly advise against taking his course. His class is entertaining, but his exams are very difficult. He also had a habit of using a "big" word and immediately taking it back assuming the class won't understand it, which I found silly.
I agree it's not an easy class, but what do you "college" students expect? He's such a great professor and his lectures are informative and fun. I highly recommend taking his class, especially if you're a psychology major.
Best prof. @ Gcc. Looked forward to his lectures every week. Lectures were relatable. make sure to read book & notes. Gives extra credit. if you participate & show him that u are trying he does acknowledge that. Make sure to be able to relate his notes to real life scenarios. Kinda difficult but not overwhelming. Pay attention and you'll be fine.
He was simply irritating and made it difficult to enjoy the incredibly fascinating subject. All you will focus on are the dreaded exams. Take it with another professor.
This class was challenging, engaging and dare I say romantic? The way he describes the human condition and connections and how to be a better person or parent... Awesome. If you want to go a little bit deeper, Mike will take you there!
I took him for Summer 2016. I worked SO HARD to get at least a B. I was never absent or late. I wrote every single words from his PP & lectures, and reviewed for the tests. He's super nice. The only thing is that even if u get the whole lecture, the tests was super hard. If ur not a psych major, try taking another prof. Psych majors would love him.
very hard and his hand writing is impossible to read, all capitalized letters and difficult test.
I really liked him. His class is super cool. He teaches perfectly. However, his test are a bit hard. I took for short semester, which my work schedule it was hard to catch up with study plan that I had. But I would really like take his class again for a regular semster.
Mike is simply awesome.I took him on the winter and wish I would had taken him on a regular semester b/c his lectures are great. You definitely have to read and study . you have to earn your grade but he is very fair. His lectures focus heavily on what you are expected to write on the test essay and the reading on the multiple choice.
Mike is a top-notch human being. Lectures are unconventional and so much fun. The thing is... you need to read and also pick apart his syllabus and test structures. Look at the past tests he posts online!!! You can't rely on lectures alone, as he tests you from both the book and in-class content. The class was intense, but oh so rewarding.
Professor Dulay is my favorite professor. His lectures are amazing I actually looked forward to going to class every morning. I took him in the summer and wish I took his class for a full semester. You need to read in order to pass don't just count on the lectures. Other than that as long as you do the work and show up to class you will pass.
He's the head of the Psychology department at GCC so he's the best at what he does. Amazing lectures, and such an interesting class BUT don't take him over the summer, there's so much material to cover it took blood, sweat and tears to pass with an A. Know everything on the slides, and read the book, which he usually offers a free version of!
great teacher but tests are super hard you really need to know everything
Hes an AMAZING professor! I highly recommend taking him especially if youre a psych major. YES his class is quite challenging, but you will learn so much! I wish he taught other psych classes, I would take him again in a heart beat!
Very nice professor that is there for you. He has a very interesting success story and his lectures are interesting. But I truly wouldn't recommend him for winter or summer sessions. Very difficult.
I took Dulay during a 5 week summer course. if you plan on taking him in this short semester, you HAVE to have a sense of urgency. Read and review everyday, memorize your notes until you know all the information and you will get an A in the class. This is no cake walk of a course, but Dulay makes it so enjoyable that its worth your time.
Professor Dulay gives very good examples which make you remember them in tests
Good professor, but always busy. his job is not only teaching his students but he does so many other things in college , so it will be hard to catch him a have a talk with him. I took his summer season and that was a mistake. He goes over so much material and his tests are kinda hard with multiple choices and finding the errors plus a short essay .
I took his summer class and it was no joke. You have to do your part as a student. You have to come prepared, ready to listen and read the material and put it to heart. He is by far the best prof. I have met and he is very professional. He makes the subject easier and is willing to take a mile for you if you need any help. I highly recommend him!
This class is not for the faint-of-heart; you WILL WORK for the grade, and he will through-out anyone even thinking of cheating in his presence. Take full notes in-class and read the Openstax textbook. There is A LOT to study his exams. The exams: This class is university worthy! I cannot say so for most of the others in this campus.
I took Prof Dulay over the winter and he is wonderful. Psychology itself is just memorization and understanding what you're being taught. having taken this class in a 5 weeks period was pretty tough, but Prof Dulay knows his stuff and knows how to deliver. he makes the lectures very engaging and is very funny!
Professor Dulay has a great sense of humor, which makes learning psych interesting, but you have to work really hard for your grade. Be sure to READ THE BOOK, record his lectures, take notes & take advantage of the help he is willing to give (office hours, study guides, etc). As long as you work hard, you will get a good grade.
Professor Duley really knows what he is talking about. I didn't mind at all sitting in lecture for three hours. You do have to go to class because he gives random assignments that go towards your participation. He canceled class a couple times. If you listen to the lectures and read the book you'll be fine. The book is also online.
This class teaches you everything you should know for psych101. Prof. is funny and explains everything clearly with great examples to clarify confusing terms. His tests were difficult with many "trick" questions, so don't cram the night before exams and make sure you understand and don't just memorize. Overall, I enjoyed the class.
Professor Dulay is great ! His lectures are amazing, he explains everything. I highly recommend him !
His lectures are amazing but his grading sucks. His tests are way too hard. We didn't have time to go over the last chapter and he told us a couple days before the final that we have to read it. Barley passed.
I took his course in 2015. The exams were extremely difficult for a fundamental psych course. He was also extremely patronizing, telling me once that I "ask too many questions" and that "university professors won't deal with it." Well, as a UC Berkeley graduate today, I never experienced that attitude with the professors at Cal. Glad I dropped.
This class was a nightmare. Too much material to study for an entry level psych course. I spend Everyday studying and ended up with a D. His tests are no joke you really have to study hard to get a passing grade. Take another professor if you can. I retook the course with another professor and got an A. I wouldnt take this guy again for a class.
I took Psych 101 with Professor Dulay during the summer (remote due to COVID-19) and it was one of the best classes Ive ever taken content and difficulty wise. Even if you dont enjoy the subject, he makes it interesting with his lectures. He is very helpful and doesnt give useless, tedious homework. I would 10/10 recommend him.
He has a god complex... his personality is one of the most difficult things to deal with in this course. Avoid and find someone better
Professor Dulay is very passionate in teaching and his lecture is very enjoyable. His tests are very doable and most of the materials come from his lecture, so as long as you pay attention to lecture and write good notes, then you will do fine. The lowest scoer I got was the final, which was 90%. I got over 100% on all the exams and quizzes.
He never responded to any of my emails or canvas messages. I took this course for the winter session and it lasts about a month. He provided no rubrics or clear instruction on writing portions on exams that is why I got a mediocre score in the class. The class was all on zoom and canvas completely remote. The communication with him is non existent
Great professor but make sure to do your reading. Textbook is accessed online which is good. I got to admit I did not do much of the reading and only relied on lecture notes which was why I barely passed the class. Other than that, a very charismatic man! He for sure knows how to keep a class entertained but its important to do your part in reading
Amazing professor! Took him for honors and absolutely enjoyed it. His lectures are very interesting and he does a fantastic job explaining the material. There is a lot of reading but his lectures cover most of it. His tests are heavy but study hard and you should be fine. He is very caring and willing to help. Take him you won't regret it!
he's SO chill and makes class fun and engaging. he's sweet and will work with you on your grade. 4 tests online, in person final; roughly 35-40 mc and 2 essay questions. he writes his own notes and the tests come directly from the lecture and the textbook. attendance isn't mandatory but you will need the notes from that day. overall highly rec.
Very passionate in his field and hilarious. I think this guy never runs out of jokes and anecdotes to tell in class which makes every session worthwhile. He makes his own notes during lectures but the stuff in the exams comes mostly from the online textbook. Make sure to read each topic and don't rely on the notes too much and you'll be fine.
Professor Dulay brings great energy to the class with his jokes and anecdotes. The material can be challenging, but engaging with the textbook and attending his lectures pays off. unstuck AI was super helpful for exam prep. Overall, a rewarding class if you put in the work.
Overall a great professor. He's very passionate about his work and provides humor and interesting stories related to the topics throughout the class. The tests were on canvas, as were the quizzes, however, the final was in person and was by far the hardest part of the class. Make sure to do the reading and take good notes and you should be fine.
extremely degrading and disrespectful. Some sort of high ego and superiority towards his students and genuinely does not care about his students' education
Beware of this teacher as he does not follow the syllabus and is extremely vulgar in lessons. Lack of empathy if you have any personal situations. Choose a better psych professor that's not disrespectful to students, he grades work the last week of the semester. :) take your psych classes at another school and transfer the credits.
Pros: Captivating lectures with a professor who clearly loves what he does. I'm not sure how anyone can get less than an A in the class considering he grades fairly and drops your lowest exam score. The small classroom size allows for more engaging learning and connection. Cons: Disorganized, changing syllabus, and inputs grades last minute.
Really great.
Lectures are very dense for an intro level course, grading is based entirely on exams. One major issue is that he constantly goes off on tangents that aren't really relevant to the material. While he's clearly knowledgeable, the digressions can make it hard to stay focused and understand what's actually required for the course.
He goes off topic, uses a very difficult vocabulary for an entry-level. He provides notes, but he's notes are very messy bc he writes them on his iPad, not organized. Doesn't provide any extra credits, doesn't allow you to retake or make up any assignments or exams, even if you were dying. Maybe he's a great person, idk, but he messed up my GPA.
He goes off topic A LOT very lecture heavy too, vocabulary is very hard for a intro psych class, and stuff on tests are not even covered in class
He's sort of those 'professor's professor' types. He's fine, he's nice enough and generally easy to get a hold of outside of class, and he's really knowledgeable and passionate. That being said, he can be a bit sassy, and he takes FOREVER to grade, his tests are long and cover a lot of stuff from the reading. His final is really long too.
His lectures are great and he teaches the concepts well but there's a somewhat heavy workload. A lot of reading and flashcard reviewing is needed!
An amazing professor. He is a great lecturer and made the class very engaging and attention grabbing. He is an easy grader depending on which course you take that he i
No Homework!. Clear, detailed, and fun lectures!
DO NOT TAKE. Impossible to reach out to him if needed, he says, "You're going to get your money's worth from my class," except he talks about off topic nonsense for 3 hours straight. Max 5% of what we go over for class is actually in the exams the rest you have to learn on your own. Not understanding at all if you have a personal emergency.
Very interesting lectures, just don't mess around in class (talking, being on your phone, etc.). Attendance is really important since he doesn't post notes or anything and sometimes gives in class assignments you can't make up if you missed. Exams aren't actually that bad if you pay attention. Make sure to take notes. No homework. Super funny too.
He is a good one !
Amazing professor! Lectures are perfect and very clear, but they aren't enough for the exams—you must read the textbook. The tests are hard and he is a tough grader. I didn't pass because I overloaded my schedule and lacked study time. Don't make my mistake! He's a great person and teacher, but be ready to work hard for your grade. 10/10.
