Nick is a wonderful teacher that gives great examples and really wants his students to do well in the class. Tests are based off the notes (pretty easy, the lowest grade I got was a 94) and the papers you write (only 4) are pretty easy too. Make sure you attend class or you will miss a lot of important info. Great guy, really funny, awesome class.

Easy A? No, I don't think so. However, you will get an "A" if you study off the study guides for the exams and if you do the papers and group presentation.

Shizas is an Angel. He does everything is his power to make the class entertaining, effective and understandable. He is by far my favorite professor. He tells hilarious stories to incorporate concepts and makes them so easy to understand. If youre a psych major, minor or just need some extra credits hes definitely the prof to take!!!!

If you plan on taking Psychology 101, look no further than Professor Shizas. He adds personal comments to your work that you can actually benefit from rather than copy and paste comments. This semester, we were thrown a curve ball with a pandemic and we had to switch to online. He put a lot of work into creating a plan so we could all succeed.

I usually do not rate professors, but because Professor Shizas is HANDS DOWN the most caring professor I have ever had, I had to. He is literally so nice and understanding. He answers emails incredibly fast and makes sure you completely understand the question asked. If you are debating taking this class, do it. An amazing professor.

This is my second class with Professor Shizas. I love him, he's awesome. The class is reasonable with the work. Study for quizzes, do the discussions, and there are only 2 papers I think. He also offers extra credit. If you have the option to be in his class, take it, you won't regret it.

I highly recommend anyone to take Prof Shizas, he was so kind. His feedback was helpful and his grading is very fair. I am surprised he does not have a 5/5 on here. We used an online textbook, discussion boards every week, and he leaves quizzes open for two days. Late work isn't accepted, unless certain circumstances, but you have so much time. :)

Professor Shizas is extremely experienced in the classroom, and skilled at anticipating his students' needs. As an accredited psychologist who still sees patients, he also has great insights into the profession. I greatly appreciated his use of examples throughout the course to give deeper context. They helped me to learn and remember concepts.

He was caring and considerate for all of his students and actively made sure that everybody can understand the material. Easy A if you just show up and listen to material.

I took the 4-week course overall, it was amazing. I learnt a lot, and yes, it will be packed with work since it is a 4-week course, but it isn't as bad as it seems. He's very organized and grades it the next day with amazing feedback not only that, he also responds to emails quickly. He made a typically hard 4-week course easy. Take him.
