What Students Say
“This class sucks and it's impossible it didn't matter if I studied an hour or 6, I didn't get above a 75 on any test, all the test questions are so vague and at least 2 answers could be right”

awesome guy and great teacher
Will help you, but isn't a very good at teaching aspects of psyc
He tries to make the class fun and he's helpful.
There was a lot of class interaction
Cool young professor.Class is very easy. I studied 30 mins all sem. ----A+
Nice guy, interacts well w/ class, and is generally easy going. Gives high curve on tests, fairly easy if you use the textbook.
he is very nice & laid back. his tests are kinda hard though.
He is hot! But he is also a great teacher. High curves on test, just read the chapters and the notes.
I got a C, would have been a B if I studied harder and actually read the chapters more.. VERY HOT teacher!!! Great interaction with class. Made me love psychology even more. Recommended!!
He is great! I took this class as a filler and because I enjoy psychology. After this class I changed my major to Psychology. Read the text, do the practice quizzes that come on the CD with the book, and you will come out with an A...that's what I did!
OMG he is SO HOT!!!!! I had the class at 8 (ugh), but with a bod like that I NEVER missed a class! oh, teachingwise he's great; he acts more our age than an older prof. just read and take good notes and your set
He's great!
This is my 2nd class with Nate and I love him. He is a great professor, very smart and very, very hot! The hair, the mouth, the earrings...em..em..em!
Great Teacher! Just study his notes and read the chapters and you'll do fine! He will pretty much tell you whats going to be on the exam. If you do good on the 1st 4 tests don't have to take final.Doesnt take attendance! Got A with no problem!
Ok I really can't say I agree witht he hotness thing but he is a really good teacher!!!
He's nice, funny, gives extra credit, but he can be a little confusing at times, but will always do his best to clarify himself if you ask. Read a little, study hard, and come to class if you want to do good.
Excellent professor---very easy to understand, and very helpful. Test are relatively easy, if you read the material, and attend class regularly.
I love this guy. He makes going to class and learning worth the effort. He's cool and he's hot!
Great teacher! Class is a lil' tough, so you have to read the chapters. Makes class fun and doesn't take attendance. Made an A, it's not that hard.
ok...i dunno where u people get that he's hot....because he's soooo NOT....but he's nice...kinda mono-toned....but if u study book and notes u'll be fine
his class is sooo easy! you don't even have to go to class, just do the practice tests in the review book and you'll make an easy A. plus, he drops the lowest test grade so you may not have to take your final
He is not hot but he is a good professor. Study the review that he gives and you will do well on the test. Attendance is not detremental.
Easy class, just work with the study guide
He is an awesome teacher. He makes everything very clear and interesting. He is knowledgable about the subject and answers questions with no problem. He is young and and has cool hair!
He was a really great teacher...I would take him again.
He's a cool guy. Makes class interesting. Clear, semi-easy but do need to study though. If I had to take other PSYC courses and he was teaching them I would def choose him.
Great class. Loved the format.
Very good instructor. Tests are fairly difficult, but gives opportunity to do well on them with study guides. Offers extra credit opportunities as well.
Need to study. He can be kind of boring.
cool guy, class is not really hard if you study and kinda read the book. i'd take more classes with em.
He's super nice and very clear. pay attention and you'll ace the class
Class is very boring, but if u go to class, take notes, and study the notes, you should be fine. Gives alot of extra credit.
Lecture is okay... But you have TO READ READ READ if you want to pass the tests. Gives extra credit
Class is really interesting, he makes jokes a lot which keep it fun. Tests are a little hard, but he offers extra credit, so it works out. Very nice guy.
This class was awesome. Take good notes, and pay attention in class and tests will be easy. If he does not cover something in class, it won't be on the test! I would definitely take his class again.
great professor!! highly recommended for this class. lectures are interesting and tests are somewhat challenging.
nice guy, good dry sense of humor, sarcastic but a good class. Honestly, I can make a B on every test only coming the day before the test. DO THE REVIEW SHEET!! he's pretty funny and puts things in a way that you can understand it. NO ATTENDANCE POLICY
A wonderful teacher. He explains the information extremely well and he makes the class very interesting. His test are easy (as long as you study the material he goes over). He is an absolutely terrific teacher.
Very good teacher and interesting class. No attendance policy and gives test guides.
he was a very good teacher he made the class interesting. I really would not mind taking another class with him
this is a great class with many extra credit opportunities!! the professor isnt that bad to look at either. the only reason you should get below a C is if you dont some to class, and you dont get the review sheets for the tests. take the class youll love it!!
Hot in that offbeat kinda way. Dont bother buying the book. If you go to all the classes and take really good notes, thats all you need & there is no excuse for not making an A. Doesnt teach straight from powerpt and gives lots of interesting examples. Great teacher. I'm takin all his other classes.
Nate is pretty cool! He always uses examples of sex when he can, which can be pretty funny. He drops your lowest exam grade, so you don't have to take the final exam if you have the grade you want. He offers many oppurtunities for extra credit, as well. Get Nate!! He's awesome!!
Relatively easy class.. doesn't give good notes so you have to pay attention but that isn't hard since he is decent looking...
He is a nice guy and very hott and funny! He gives lots of extra credit and gives outlines for the test. I would take him again...you just have to read the book some. GREAT GUY!
Ok teacher, but if you get im for a morning class he will put you to sleep
Take his class! He is an interesting professor. You do have to study for his test and go to class in order to do good, but his lectures are very enjoyable. Overall it was a good class!
Very interesting! Really funny when he can be, always uses southpark or sexual examples. No quizzes, moderate hw, you do have to read but if you go to class he lectures and you'll remember his jokes that relate to the topic, it helps. I would love to take another class with him!!
No Comments
This class was not the best b/c it was a night class, but overall interesting. Would take more classes with him. Only one exam! But he took attendance!
I did not mind taking Vietor. If you study the book before the tests you should do fine. Gives opportunities for extra credit. Subject material was pretty boring, but he was a good teacher.
Weekly papers based off of articles (some are interesting, others are not, and he is not picky on the grading) and 1 final exam. The final was a mix of multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank and essay, not hard. Interesting class focusing on different ethnities and their experiences.
Mr. Vietor was a very clear professor. He actually teaches, and tells you the class before the exam, what to expect. He also gave numerous extra credit assignments, some hard, but some were like watching a movie. I would Recommend him. Interesting class.
Take this professor. Vietor is great. Intro Psyc is an interesting course. Tests are fair, and he curves major and gives EC.
gives extra credit only up to 10 points... tests are terribly hard. he is boring. i wouldn't take him again!
Mr. Vietor is very clear. The test are a bit difficult though. He does however give a review list of things to study over. If you dont mind working, then you'll get atleast a C. He is funny and the class is actually interesting.
Dr. Vietor made this class so awesome. It's a discussion-based class, so the 3 hours went by pretty quickly. He does a great job of stirring and facilitating discussion. It's a very interesting class and he makes is relevant to everyday life. The only work is a weekly journal and final. That's all! Definitely take his class!
I had problems staying awake in the class. He has a very soothing voice and the lights were dimmed to see the overhead. If you attend class and take notes, you don't need to read the book. His tests were a little tough, definately learn the vocabulary. test quests were a little tough, had to think.
soothing voice...will put u to sleep if early in the morning. if u go to class and take notes u won't need the book. gives ex credit. test are easy if u study what's on the study guide.
Loved his class! Learned something everytime I went, which was all but maybe 3 classes, not that he takes attendance. He gives alot of examples and interesting facts to make understanding the material easier. I would highly recommend him for social psych.
Great Professor! Easy to understand and interesting. Attendance not mandatory, but attending gives you greater chances of passing his class. Tests are on class lectures and out of book. He helps by highlighting what to study for before the test, and tells you what to make extra notes on in class. Highly recommend.
Deserving winner of the department's teaching excellence award this year. Only drawback is he teaches only late in the day when I would rather not be in the classroom.
Mr. Vietor is a WONDERFUL teacher. He has a very soothing voice and some people in my class would fall asleep...But he gives amazing examples and makes sure you understand what you're learning before he moves on. Easy & fun class. Just take notes for the exams & you're fine!
Uses really good examples in class, and even throws in some jokes here and there to keep you awake. An overall fun class that I would recommend.
I love this guy. He tells us stories about his life to relate to what we are talking about in class...and they are some pretty funny stories. Sometimes it can be boring..but he rarely keeps class in session for the whole alotted time.
He's awesome. He's so far my favorite teacher!! Go to class and you'll be fine. Tests are directly from the notes. DOn't worry, though. It's not boring. He's very interesting and has funny stories for all the chapters. i love this guy.
Awesome personality. Fun to be in his class. but his tests are super hard.
This class was very interesting. I loved Dr. Vietor! He was very crystal clear and everything on the test came straight from his lecture. I would take him for sure!
Only teaches late in the day, which can be good or bad. Tests are straight from lecture, but a lot of the information is not just on the powerpoints, so it helps a lot to go to class. Uses interesting examples and humor. Overall an interesting professor.
the class was pretty easy but it took a lot of time out of my life with all the quizzes.The quizzes come from the book and the tests come straight from he's mouth. hes stories make you laugh. I liked this class a lot
Vietor is the BEST. I love him! Great Teacher! He gives out perfect examples and makes sure you understand what he's talking about. Alot of quizzes and tests but not THAT hard.
Vietor is pretty cool. If you have to take Intro to Psych, I would try to get him.
Test are wording is very difficult. although the information it not that hard. i would recommend going to class he use alot of examples. and his class is relaxing and fun. i would take him again.
I wish I would have gone to class more. If you go to class, and pay attention his class is easy and fun. I also really like TA seperate classes on friday. Questions on test come stright from lectures.I'd def take him again.
Funny dude, thats all I really can think to say about him. His test are hard. There are always 2 right answers and one is better than the other. The quizes are easy. The only thing is he does not answer EMails. Your Friday teacher, who by the way are grad students and SUCK AT IT, are the ones to answer all questions. Dont take PHYC at all!!
Best Professor. Inspired me to study Psychiatry.
He was a very good teacher. very clear, and keeps things interesting. good references that help you remember theories and definitions. HIGHLY recommend him!!!
Great professor. Tests are easy because he tells you exactly what to study before each test. If you don't do well on his tests or in his class, then you really aren't trying. He always does 8 point curves on each test. I didn't use the book at all and my lowest test score was 104. I highly recommend him.
The class is easy if you memorize terms in the book. The guy can be funny, but you'll have to go to every class to find his moments of humor. some classes will be very boring, others will be very intriguing.
If you have to psychology you have to take Nate!!! He is extremely clear during his lectures with great examples. He can be hilarious! His test are hard but there is always a curve. I love going to this class... and he's not bad to look at either ;)
The best professor I've ever had. He makes class interesting, and he is very well spoken. Tests aren't easy but if you study (he tells you what to study for each test) then you should have no problem. If you take Psych, take Nate. Ntm he's very charismatic and handsome. ^_^
Best! He inspired my so much that Im thinking of changing my major. Very clear, gives examples. Just go to class n you will do fine. Tests are somewhat hard, but just studying for an hour will give you an A. Hes cute, funny, laid back, the Best teacher I have ever had. I am going to miss his class very much.
Best teacher i've had all year, really knows what hes talking about and gives a lot of real life examples. Take notes about what he talks about in class not just the power point bullets.
Awesome! He picks out only the most interesting stuff for the tests, the only hard part of this class is the online quizzes for each chapter... Easier than psychology classes I took in high school!
He is a good teacher but you really have to go to class to get a full understanding. The chapter quizzes come straight from the book. The friday break out classes are not mandatory they are just for extra credit if you dont have a test.
Great class. He really understands and clarifies material well. Offers a lot of extra credit and the tests are right off the notes. On the other hand the weekly online quizzes are directly from the book. Really not a difficult class if you put some effort into it. Very understanding teacher. Take him.
I thought it was very difficult, the tests are nothing like the weekly quizes online. The class averages on the tests are near a 70
I did not like this class at all. His test are extremely hard and the quizzes don't make sense!
good teacher very interesting.
Hes a good teacher but requires work. No psyc class is going to be a breeze but go to class study and complete all the assignment. People who give Nate a bad grade are lazy and dont want to do anything. Hes a good guy and I recommend taking him
I simply refer to Dr. Vietor as "The Man" awesome professor and his class is not hard I got an A all you have to do is go to his lectures and pay attention if you do that there is now way you can make below a B
This class as a whole was not too hard, however the weekly online quizzes could sometimes be a challenge but nothing to drop the class over. Also I did not really care for the Friday break out classes, I felt that they were a waste of my time. But the class is pretty easy just go to class and take notes
VIetor is a ok teacher and you have a lot of work. Basically u have a online quiz every week, and a test every two weeks...so if u dnt lik goin to class or doin ur hw..then dnt take this class!!
Don't take this class. The attendence is mandatory because no one wants to listen to his boring jokes. The test are hard and you won't learn anything.
A MUST TAKE. DNT LET OTHER RATINGS SCARE U OUT OF TAKING VIETOR, DIS CLASS WAS 2 EASY. IF U COME TO CLASS & TAKE NOTES, U WILL DO FINE. TEST ARE EASY. HE GIVES EXTRA CREDIT (UP TO 20 POINTS). & HE'S HOT.. A MUST TAKE
Pretty easy class. This guy really shows passion about psychology and also is very knowledgeable about the subject too. He makes quite a few sexual references, I guess to keep everyone interested. But nice guy, gives study guides for every test, do those and your golden. online HW due just about every week, but answers are on google!
VIETOR IS THE MAN!! Awesome teacher, stronglyyy recommend him, made me switch my major to psychology. Learned a lot, online quizzes but they aren't bad, offers tons of extra credit, makes class interesting. Great/BEST psych teacher, best class i taken all year. TAKE HIM. :)
Class is not mandatory but going really did help me understand the stuff. Online quizzes are difficult but he drops the lowest two. His tests are much easier. 6 tests all year plus a midterm and final.Awesome teacher. made everything easy to understnad
This teacher is very nice. Before each class he always asks if anyone has any questions. Going to class is not required except on Friday's in the smaller groups. Online quizzes are difficult unless you read the book and the tests are somewhat easy as long as you study. He gives a study guide too. Overall a really great teacher.
This professor actually teaches.. unlike my biology professor just shows the same crap that i could've learned just by reading the book.. he actually cares about his students
He is a good teacher, don't get me wrong... his tests are extremely hard! Does give study guide, but questions on test are tricky. Class isn't mandatory but definetly go anyways cause most of the questions on the test are from the lecture.
He's a great professor i really enjoyed taking psych because he teaches it well and the tests and quizzes are easy as long as you read.
AWESOME prof! he cares about his students. he's very approachable. test are super easy if you do the study guide and take notes in class. quizzes are hard but open book and you get multiple shots at them. just go to class and skim the book during quizzes and when completing your study guide and you won't have a problem. TAKE HIM!!!!
Never went to class and got an A. Read the chapters, take the online quizes, and show up for the tests and its an easy A. Good teacher tho, when I did go to class...just like to sleep in
super cool professor, knows his psychology, class is easy, jus do ur online quizzes and show up for tests, shouldnt be a problem getting an A
Easy class over all. Just read the material and you'll do fine. Study guides help somewhat as well.
Awesome teacher. Keeps things interesting, funny guy, always smiling. You can tell he loves psychology and his class is not hard, just read and do your work and you'll be fine! I would take another class with him.
Makes psych very interesting. I didn't try very hard; if I could take it again I know I could do much better.
Awesome professor. Very interested in his subject, I went to class just because of how interesting he makes it. Do the online quiz's and read the book! I didn't try very hard and got a B, if you try you should get an A no problem.
Easy professor, if you want an A, do not slack off, even if you already took advanced placement in high school, I got a B when i should've gotten an A because of the Final. When final grades come, he will not bump your grade up, i've tried.
Such a HOT professor. Vietor was enjoyable. If you go to his office hours, he WILL help. Test are pretty easy IF you read, go to class and actually LISTEN and pay attention and read the textbook
Great teacher and very interesting. Attendance is optional but it is important to study notes and material to do well on the test.I recommend him to anyone though!
Also took psyc1000 with him. He is very attractive. He makes class interesting. He is helpful and laid back but make sure you do your work and know the material.
online quizzes due evry week are HARD
AWESOME TEACHER! He made me decide to go into psychology as career! Highly recommend him! Pretty easy class!
Take him. Seriously. Chill class, very interesting material, awesome (and highly attractive) professor. If you're paying attention and taking a few notes, you're golden.
GREAT professor, he knows what he's talking about and he is very interesting! After i took this class i signed up for another one with him! He doesn't test you on anything he didn't go over in class and his tests are pretty easy. If you do the study guides you will do great!
Great teacher! He made the class easy to understand. I personally like psychology and I think he did a great job teaching it. The tests aren't that hard if you use the study guides.
Dr.Vietor is a Great proffessor i would definetely take him! He makes class interesting and attendance isnt mandatory, you actually get extra credit for going to class on fridays!
Such a GREAT professor and really hot if you're into the whole long hair tied back in a ponytail, hippy look. I loved the material and the way he delivered it. Super helpful study guides and easy extra credit points. Follow the power points and you'll be fine.
Interesting class not boring at all
Definitely knew what he was talking about. I didn't think much of psych before this class but now i think its really interesting. Attendance isn't mandatory and the tests are pretty easy. He gives study guides and the power points are online if you don't go to class.
TAKE THIS CLASS! Attendance is not mandatory. You have a friday break out class and that attendance is EXTRA CREDIT! He's really helpful. You can get up to 40 points extra credit. He's funny too! Make sure to have the book. If you don't wanna go to class, the powerpoints are online and you use the book! It's SIMPLE!
He is pretty good at teaching. I had a great HS teacher, so I was lucky to already know the material. Read the book and know whatever is on the study guide. It is a basic and easy class. He is also very nice and is more than willing to discuss with you! Just ask questions.
awesome professor. made the subject super interesting, he loves what he teaches and it is obvious! attendance isnt mandatory but what he goes over on the powerpoints is exactly what you need to know. online quizzes every week which are annoying but as long as you read the chapter you'll be fine. TAKE HIM!
nate is awesome! Theres 15 online quizzes that you get to take up to 10 times. Theres about 5 tests that arent any more than 20 questions. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he makes the class very interesting, and the test is based off what he says in class... not the textbook. He gives a study guide, and many opportunities for extra credit!
Nate is a great! He is really helpful and makes class interesting. The tests are relatively easy and the quizzes are easy as long as you read the chapter.
I had never taken Psych but had to have it for my major. I really loved this class and Dr. Vietor made it really easy to understand. He gave really good examples to help his students remember terms. There were tests every two weeks and online quizzes every week. You get 10 attempts on each quiz too!
He was a really good teacher. His classes aren't mandatory, but you get a lot of extra credit for going to the Friday "Break-Out Classes". Also, most of the information on the tests comes from his main classes. As long as you go to most of the classes you'll do fine.
Great teacher! Went out of his way to help me get a good grade. Definitely take him if you can.
Nate is a great teacher! He knows the material really well and is enthusiastic about the subject. He's also easy to talk to if you're having any trouble in the class. I love psychology and taking this class verified that even more. Definitely take him if you get the chance!
A terrific professor! He makes the material easy to understand and I always looked forward to his class! You have to read the book for the quizzes, but the tests are easy if you pay attention. There's also plenty of extra credit and he will help you if you ask for it. I would definitely recommend this class and professor to anyone!!
He's a great teacher! His Monday/Wednesday classes aren't mandatory but the Friday BOC classes DO take attendance. He does give some extra credit opportunities. The online quizzes are usually every week with 10 attempts so make sure you take them. I recommend him!!
Class is very easy and he's a good teacher. Gives a lot of extra credit that can boost your overall grade by 5 points. Exam was easy and based off of his study guide.
Very interesting class. Very nice and helpful. Gives helpful study guides. He is an awesome professor and willing to help in any way. offers extra credit. I recommend taking his classes!
Vietors class is only mandatory on fridays. He provides study guides and extra credits. His tests are usually around 15-20 multiple choice questions. His lectures are somewhat boring, but he sometimes show videos. As long as you understand the concept, you're good.
Dr. Vietor is the best! He's such a nice person and does his best to explain everything so we understand it. Gives a BUNCH of extra credit. The book is necessary to have to do the study guides, but tests are easy! Definitely recommend him.
Vietor is such an awesome professor. I'm not even that interested in psychology but he definitely grabbed my attention. He clearly loves his job and he knows exactly what he is talking about. I did not do so hot on my first couple tests but it got easier as time went on. Weekly quizzes, so the book is needed. No question about that. Take his class!
Absolutely loved him! Gives out so much extra credit! Though attendance isn't mandatory, you still want to go because his class is so interesting! Plus, the examples he uses in class are the ones he uses on the test. He is funny and a great speaker and is clear. The tests come straight from the study guide and are easy! Dont buy the textbook!
He literally keeps you on the edge of your seat with his lectures. I loved his class and his tests were easy! If you go to EVERY class and take notes, you'll get an A.
Not a bad class but i didnt enjoy. the break out classes on friday sucked because my student teacher sucked
Vietor is the man. I have an A in the class and I do not own a book. Not because its easy but because he makes the class so easy to understand. Take him if you can 5
Vietor was my favorite professor this semester. He is hilarious and keeps the class so interesting. He is very easy going and never takes attendance however I do recommend going to class because his lectures are very interesting and the examples he gives are very helpful. His tests are also very easy. I recommend renting the text book.
Overall this class was fairly easy. Attendance is not mandatory but a lot of examples he gives in class and some of the material isn't in the book but is on the exam. He gives you the opportunity to earn 20 extra credit points to your overall grade.You have to do an article review which he doesn't grade that hard.
He is pretty interesting. You can retake quizzes, but they are difficult and have nothing to do with the tests. The book is used for the quizzes, but the lectures are the basis of the tests. Research participation is part of grade.
Sucks I can only click "hot" once. Awesome personality. Imagine Dr. House teaching you Social Psych, yeah……Thats him. Very relax, funny, and patient. Just make sure you write down the definition and examples. They will be in the test word rd for word. Did I mentioned HOT!!!!
If you take Psych 1000 with anyone other than Vietor, you're missing out. He uses real life examples to help you understand things. Quizzes are all online and the answers come straight from the textbook. Tests come straight from the notes so if you study his powerpoints, you should be fine. Attendance isn't mandatory but class is fun to attend.
There is a lot of test and quizzes in this class. But if you know how to google or memorize well you will do fine. Also, there is a lot of extra credit avaiable. His lectures are well explained so GO TO CLASS.
he explains things very well, but attendance is not mandatory. if you dont understand psych GO TO CLASS. its not hard. tests are short and the study guides are pretty much the test. online quizzes are easy (just google answers). lots of extra credit opportunities. i also find him attractive?????
Dr. Veitor makes psychology more interesting that I thought it would be. If you complete his study guides, you'll be good for tests. Attendance isn't mandatory, but being there is very helpful.
Dr. Vietor is amazing. Very clear and makes psych WAY MORE interesting than it is. Quiz once a week, a short test every week but if you do the study guide, there is no reason not to score an A. go to class if you do not want to read the book because everything he says is exactly how the test is worded.
Dr. Vietor is the nicest most down to earth guy I have met. He really connects his lecture to everyday life so you can understand the material. He is very genuine, just need to study and it's a pretty easy course. I would recommend taking this course.
While his tests can be difficult if you didn't study, he provides many extra credit opportunities! He is very approachable and rather entertaining to watch during lectures. He tries to include many different teaching and learning styles to try and help students. If you take his class, which I encourage you to do, DON"T FORGET THE QUIZES!
One of the best professors I've had at ECU. As long as you go to class and study a little bit, his tests aren't bad at all. The midterm is a little more tough, buy not impossible at all. Such a fun guy to listen to his lectures and you actually learn a lot. 10 attempts on online quizzes to make a 100, offers extra credit too!
This teacher knows what he is taking about and is pretty good. He gives study guides for the tests but sometimes has stuff on them that we never covered. Overall it was an easy A but just study for the tests.
Vietor is an amazing professor! his lectures are not mandatory but they're so interesting. He also gives several extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. TAKE HIM! You won't regret it!!
Professor Vietor, doesn't count attendance, which is a plus because the course isn't hard at all. The quizzes are online and easy to find, however the study guides to the test are not reflective of the test. I had to skim through the chapters and power points to create my own study guide for the test.
Vietor is a great professor! I'd highly recommend him to anyone taking psych 1000. He's really into the material, gives great lectures, the study guides are whats going to be on the test, attendance isn't mandatory, tons of extra credit and he's a pretty cool guy! Just study the study guide a day or two before the test and you should be fine!
Vietor's class is probably one of the best classes I had this semester. His lectures are interesting and he makes them really funny. The tests aren't hard, but there are not a lot of questions (around 14-20 on each test) so you have to really make sure you know the information. Quizzes are easy A's, and lots of extra credit! Go to class!
He drops like 2 of your lowest quizes... but there is no reason why you should get less than an A on the quizes bc they're online and most of the questions are on quizlet. The lectures are so interesting and goes by fast! Really don't need the text book dude.
I loved this class. I thought the material was interesting and Vietor is a great professor. We write a paper once a week, but no textbook, no tests and no quizzes. The papers are really easy too. The final was on the papers and if you went to class it was an easy A. I recommend Vietor and his class!
He only grades on stuff he teaches in class, never in the textbook. So you always know what to expect on the tests
The class is based off of weekly articles summary due every week. NO Quizes NO tests other then the final. Overall easy class. Hard final. Do the summaries! Much easier then his Intro Class. But he is a great teacher!
There's a test every other Friday and quizzes online due every Monday but they're not hard as long as you do the study guides and listen to what he says in class. Has good lectures, they're really easy to follow along with and you get all sorts of info.
I've taken all of professor Vietors classes and wish he offered more! He gives amazing lectures, and tons of extra credit! He provides study guides for all his tests. The tests are usually composed of 50 multiple choice and one or two short answer questions. Make sure you read the book because there are many experiment questions on the tests.
Dr. Vietor is a great professor. His lectures are extremely easy and clear to follow along and he explains the concepts in depth to boost our understanding. There are quizzes due online every Monday and several small tests that are not hard as long as you do the study guide! He is great, I would recommend him to anyone!
He is an awesome professor! Has lectures but really good discussions and the papers are only to help you in the final. Really do recommend him!
Really enthusiastic about lectures. Attendance isn't mandatory, but if you don't take notes and study it's unlikely that you'll get an A because the tests are specific. Multiple tests on 23 chapters then the final is cumulative, but not hard if you study. Office hours are really helpful. I would get the textbook just for extra guidance.
Took Vietor for Psych 1000, and loved it, so decided to take him again. Weekly essays/summaries of past/present, political/social/cultural issues. Daily discussions of the articles. That's literally all the class consists of. No lectures, just discussions. No textbook!!! Never have to show up to class. 9/10 would bang.
Great Class! Very interesting and clear!
Great professor. Lectures are interesting and funny so they really keep your attention. As long as you do the work you will pass. Tests are not too difficult as long as you study. Over all great professor!
He does give a lot of tests that can sometimes be difficult, but all the quizzes are online and he does make it so you can easily get an A or a B just by listening and taking notes. It really isn't that bad of a class.
Recommended! His lectures are great, sometimes he makes jokes or tells stories that are helpful in memorizing certain material. He makes the class interesting, just show up, take notes and you will do fine!
Professor Vietor is awesome! Best teacher I've had at ECU, his lectures go by so fast and he explains everything very well and gives examples to try to make the information easier for you. No need to read the book, the tests come straight out of his lectures/power points.
He's amazing. I never, I mean Never went to class after the first day and I got an A in the class. If you want to do this, you will need the book. He gives very short study guides, do these and you will ace all tests. There are tests every other week but they are only 16 questions or less and all of the material is covered in the study guide. TAKE!
I had Professor Vietor for Intro the Psych this past semester and he was amazing! He explains everything super well and gives loads of extra credit. As long as you do the online quizzes each week, study a little for the 6 short tests, and do some of the extra credit, you'll get an A with no problems. Definitely take him if you can!
TAKE THIS CLASS! Dr. Vietor is so straight forward! Don't get the book total waste of money! all the answers for his study guide are on google!!
He is the coolest professor you will ever encounter. He gives a lot of extra credit. Stays on schedule. One quiz for each chapter and can take up to 10 times. His test are not tough if you study with the study guide. His class is not mandatory, but his grad assistants are, but usually give extra credit for attendance. I recommend him 100%
The class is based on Quizzes (10), Essays (9), and a final exam. You NEED to go to class to listen to the lectures to pass the quizzes, it took me about 3 of them to get into the hang of how he asks questions. Essays are easy to get a 90 or 100 on as long as you try. He teaches it in a seminar style. So it was harder than expected, but not awful.
Really cool professor. Lectures are interesting, he gives a ton of extra credit, and is funny and well liked by students. I would definitely take his class again.
Dr. Vietor is an amazing professor and makes his lecutres interesting. He explains things very well and the extra credit will save your grade. The tests are not easy so study well and take GOOD notes in lecture. He is great and I would definitely take the class again.
The BEST teacher i've had at ECU so far. Attendance isn't mandatory but I still went to every class because it was so interesting. Do your SONA credits before it becomes too late and take advantage of extra credit. the psych concepts are easy but on the tests don't expect to just know the definition you have to be able to apply everything u learn
Take advantage of the extra credit. Tests are not that easy but if you study hard a night or two before you should be fine. Mid term and final are a breeze. Great lecturer as well. Quizzes are online and he gives you 10 times to take it
Dr. Vietor gave me a good impression of what an ideal professor is like. His lectures were phenomenal, explains well, and is very knowledgable and excited about the subject. Tests are a little tough but if you study for them you should get an A. His grad assistants did a great job as well. Make sure not to procrastinate on your SONA credits.
Very funny guy who makes humor out of his lectures. Little bit of immaturity as far as his humor, but it keeps class lively.
SOOOO BORING
This is a seminar versus a typical lecture. Therefore, you read long articles and write essays then talk about the articles in class. Weekly quizzes on the articles. However, if you're interested in social issues, this class is super interesting. He doesn't take attendance and there's no textbook.
Vietor is one of the best psychology professors at ECU. He's a good teacher and really easy to understand. His classes are super easy as long as you go to class and pay attention. He's also super nice and pretty funny at times.
by far the best professor i've had at ECU, he makes psych so interesting and talks with a lot of passion. he gives tons of extra credit, weekly chapter quizzes (all the answers are online), 15-20 question tests every other week. tests are easy, do the study guide and study, no way you can't get an A
Very easy professor and offers lots of extra credit. Several short tests but def read the book to get answers right.
Don't waste your money on textbooks for this course. If you go to class and take decent notes and study some you'll make an A. He's a great professor.
Great class to begin your freshman year. Awesome professor with interesting lectures and you'll always have friends in your class.
Very good professor! He explains material to use in an effective way to make sure everyone understands the topic. Many opportunities for extra credit.
He's a great teacher, he's the only one I know that's good on giving out extra credit.
Dr. Vietor is by far the best professor I've had here at ECU. His lectures are so clear an intriguing. Read the textbook, Take good notes, and his course will be a breeze.
You have a chapter quiz due every week (on quizlet) which are based off the book but I never used it. Don't need the textbook because his tests are on what he and your Friday teachers lecture about. He gives study guides and loads of extra credit. Easy A.
I took Mr. Vietor for Social Psychology and it was pretty easy and very interesting. I really liked that his lectures were fun and interactive. He gives opportunity for extra credit. If you skip a class, no worries, but I would suggest going. I really hope I get the opportunity to take him again.
Dr. Vietor is great. His class is lecture based but all the powerpoints are online. His tests can sometimes be tricky so studying is a must unless youre good a psyc or have taken it before. You only see him MW then on Friday theres a break out class and you meet in RAWL with a smaller class. All the answers to the online quizzes are on quizlet.
Dr. Vietor was a really good professor. You don't really need the book unless you really want to read the chapters. All of his tests are on material he covers in class and he does a great job going over everything. Make sure to go to the Test Prep Reviews put on by the PASC and you'll do fine.
I loved this class and Professor Vietor, he was a cool guy and at first his class may seem like it is going to be a lot of work but it really is not. If you go to class and use the study guides he provides for you you will do great. I recommend taking him!
HE IS A VERY NICE MAN. HE GIVES OUT A LOT OF EXTRA CREDIT. TAKE HIS CLASS.
His lectures weren't boring. You can skip class & still pass. I only went for the first 2 weeks & the last week. Please study the study guides and you will get an A! I did't study until the last test and the final and received a B-. Lots of extra credit! Def take psych with him bc if you put in 15 min of studying before tests its an easy A.
Professor Vietor was amazing! He lectures for 50 minutes on Monday/Wednesday then you break out into a 25 person class taught my a TA on Friday. Attendance is only taken on Friday and is counted as extra credit. He is super clear in his lectures and all Power Points can be found on Blackboard. He adds up to 7% extra credit to your overall grade.
Definitely would take this teacher again. He makes the lectures worthy listening to. You only have to attend his lectures two times a week and then have break out classes on Fridays. Quizzes are online and the answers are easily searchable. Extra credit is given out a lot. Tests are easy if you pay attention to lecture/study.
Dr. Vietor is a solid choice for a professor. He knows the material like the back of his hand. If you can get past the fact that he talks about sex at least once in every one of his lectures you will be alright. Online quizzes for each chapter with 20 questions but you get 10 chances on each one and only your highest grade counts.
Excellent lectures! His tests are pretty easy and the mid term and final are all multiple choice. Make sure you go to his class because he will basically tell you what will be on the test. Do his extra credit!
Amazing professor. The best I've ever had. Super great lectures that keep you listening and the tests are really not that bad.
Such a good professor. Kept me engaged all class and is really easy to listen to. Very passionate about what he teaches which makes the class more interesting. Would definitely take one of his classes again
Would not recommend this class. He gives out study guides that only cover half the questions on his tests. I went to every class before the first exam and spent at least 10 hours studying his study guide and lecture notes to only receive a 70. Lectures are boring and tough to sit through. Quizzes are easy 100's but don't help your exam grades.
Dr. Vietor is a great professor. I would definitely take him again. You can take the quizzes up to 10 times and he drops the lowest 2 at the end of the semester. His tests are straight from his lectures, which are on blackboard so you really don't need to go to class but is recommended. A very solid choice for a professor :)
This class sucks and it's impossible it didn't matter if I studied an hour or 6, I didn't get above a 75 on any test, all the test questions are so vague and at least 2 answers could be right.
By far my favorite professor here at ECU. Vietor is smart & he knows his stuff. He is also super understanding. He gives the class a lot of opportunities for more points toward your grade. Will definitely be taking him again.
Honestly I very rarely ever went to this class and passed with a B+ easy. All his power points are online but there are some things he does mention in lecture that aren't on the PowerPoint. Lots of extra credit opportunity and quizzes are all online with multiple attempts (and all the answers are on Quizlet). Midterm and final are the only tests.
He's definitely a "breath of fresh air" when your semester load is heavy-comparable to a "low carb side dish". There were roughly 9 essays & pop quizzes (lowest pop quiz grade dropped) in addition to a cumulative final exam. Nothing that you can't handle. Do yourself a FAVOR and sign up! He'll crack a joke or use slang here and there. Laugh!!!
Vietor is one of the best professors I have ever had. He really knows his psychology and you can tell he want his students to do well. Just by doing the study guide I got an A on every test (super easy). Tons of extra credit is also given out.
Great lectures. I actually liked the lectures. Not boring at all. If you come to class you will pass
Dr Vietor may be one of my favorite professors here. I took his Psych 1000 course. Easy A and lots of extra credit opportunities. I would recommend going to lectures because he gives a lot of hints on the tests. All online quizzes can be found on quizlet.
one of the best teachers ive ever had. thoroughly enjoyed every class. test every 2 weeks and online quizzes which is for your benefit in grading. You really need to study for them but its interesting and worth the time. didnt open the textbook once.
Pretty chill guy, he mostly talks the whole class but it's insightful and interesting. The class is pretty easy too. The only thing I will say is beware of the final exam due to how hard the class is to study for- it kinda blindsided us. Other than that, go for this professor
I thought this class was easy! Vietor was chill and interesting!! 9 short papers, about 9 weekly quizzes on lecture material. Be prepared to read, there are articles for each lecture and there were a few that were lengthy. The final wasn't difficult (I got 97) because I did the study guide. This class is tedious however it is simple to do well in.
I actually enjoyed going to class because his lectures were never boring. Go to class and study a little for the tests and its an easy A. Definitely take him!!
Tests were pretty difficult. I struggled in this class for an intro class. One of the only electives I didn't fair so well in.
You have to write 9 papers throughout the semester but they are very easy to write they are just summaries of articles, articles can be a bit lengthy sometimes. If you go to class and listen you will get 100 on the quizzes every time. He jokes around in class a lot and makes class worth attending!! Topics are also very interesting big plus
Dr. Vietor is a wonderful teacher! He gives more extra credit work than actual homework and really you have to try to fail this class. He will always make exceptions for you to take a test early at his office hours if you just ask, and he gives great examples during class to help relate the material to current events. I would take this class again!
He's a really good teacher and has great lectures but his tests are ridiculous and it won't matter how long you study because the tests don't necessarily match the study guide. This is the only class I have struggled in.
great guy good teacher only got a B- but my fault not his not hard class at all and most of what you need can be found on quizzlet
Professor Vietor is an awesome teacher. He gives amazing lectures and gives you good examples to understand the material. He gives a lot of extra credit and the quizzes are on quizlet. The only problem is his tests are kinda hard cause theres only 15-20 questions on each test. Make sure you do the study guides that he puts on blackboard.
He was a little weird but overall a funny guy. He made me laugh a lot actually. His tests are not that bad if you do the study guides and he gives extra credit. Overall I would highly recommend.
He is very respected & smart. He gives great lectures but the material is not taught you have to discipline a lot to study time. Quizzes are easy but tests are hard, very situational questions.
He's a good professor his lectures just get boring after a while. Theres short tests every other week that will either help or hurt you so study. Gives lots of extra credit and attendance is not mandatory for lecture but would recommend going. Fridays there were break out classes and those were no help but attendance was mandatory for extra credit.
my favorite teacher I've had to date. amazing guy.
Overall it was good.
Professor Vietor's class is definitely worth taking. He is a great guy and makes sure that his lectures are enjoyable and engaging. I rented the textbook and referred to it occasionally but it's not used in class or anything. All extra credit assignments are easy and worth doing. He gives study guides for tests too!
One of the best professors Ive had at ECU, his class as great and if you show up and do the study guides and take the quizzes youll be fine. Theres lots of quizzes but use the textbook. 100% would take again.
You write 9 papers throughout the year and take 11 quizzes. At the end, there is a final and he tells you what is on it. He is very funny so the time passes quickly.
His class is easy. There are a decent amount of papers, but they are short and I've written them all in under an hour. His quizzes are weekly, but they are only 10 questions and as long as you read the articles, you'll do well. He is very lenient on grading.
Easy class and a great professor. He gives TONS of extra credit. His lectures are pretty interesting, so if you show up to class (which you don't have to) you'll learn some fun stuff. His study guides are vague compared to the test, but they help a ton.
Really enjoyed his lectures. Hes very open minded and doesnt give his opinion. Class isnt mandatory but he gives direct answers to the quizzes - 1 quiz every week. You turn in a paper about every other week so you end up writing about 11 papers throughout the semester.
Dr. Vietor is a good professor who doesnt expect much from his students. I only went on days that we had tests, and to the final and I made a B in his class despite not reading any of the course content
Professor Vietor is a very well educated and funny person. He is happy to make arrangements for missed work and offers incompletes more easily than other professors. There are lots of articles to read that you have to write papers on each one. That is the bulk of the class.
Professor Vietor is amazing! He explains content very thoroughly and gives many easy examples to help you understand. 6 short easy tests and weekly online quizzes but everything is on quizlet. many extra credit opportunities. You don't have to come to class but I recommend going because his lectures are amazing. He's also very funny! final is easy
Study and you'll pass. Gives a good amount of extra credit.
Get ready to write a ton of papers and a weekly quiz! There are no notes or slides in his class you must be prepared to take notes while he speaks. I typically do really well in all of my classes, however, this professor gave my GPA a run for it's money! Quizzes are extremely tough and questions are off the wall.
His lectures are good but u have to write down everything he says (including examples so u can understand while u study). Online quizzes and mini exams throughout the semester. 1 midterm and ec is given. Do ALL the ec. His mini exams are not bad but you have to study don't underestimate them.
Took Vietor during 8wk block. No textbook, only assigned readings that you MUST read. He utilizes packback for weekly discussion and responses. Posted many discussions onto canvas that helped a lot with the weekly reading quizzes and explaining the texts. Overall a great class and easy as long as you keep up with the work
I took this class during the Fall 8wk block. Weekly, there were discussions on packback (you would ask and answer questions) which correlated with the assigned readings posted on Canvas. These readings are necessary because test/quiz questions come from them. Do the packback correctly and read/study the readings and you will get a good grade!
Very easygoing Professor, who is willing to help when needed. I would highly recommend reading over notes and attending study groups to do well in course.
Very easygoing and knowledgeable about the course material. He was definitely the least intimidating professor I had all semester. Attendance was non mandatory for the lectures, but required for the breakout class that was taught by a GA. Tests are given every other Friday with a detailed study guide. if you study you will ace the test.
I LOVE vietor!! He is so funny and such a great professor. He offers a ton of extra credit. All his quizzes are online and you get 10 attempts. Tests are in person but as long as you do the study guide and study you will be fine. Take this class, its the best!
This class is all lectures and quizzes. The quizzes aren't that hard though because most of the questions are common sense. I haven't read a single article in this class and the lowest quiz grade I've gotten was a 70. He also drops the lowest quiz and packback grade. Packback is annoying but easy; 1 question and 3 responses.
I enjoyed this class with professor Vietor. We had weekly quizzes from the textbook with multiple attempts and 6 short tests along with midterm and final. Attendance was not mandatory but being in class was very helpful to understand material. He gave extra credit opportunity and answers his emails quickly and is very helpful with any questions.
I genuinely enjoyed Professor Vietors lectures. He has great energy. He also gives a good amount of extra credit. Study for the short test (some can be difficult) as long as you study for your tests and exams this class will be easy and quite enjoyable.
His lectures are interesting and informational! Online quizzes are straight from the textbook and open-note, and in-person tests are easy as long as you follow the provided study guide. Lots of extra credit opportunities
I loved him!! Attendance was never mandatory but I never wanted to miss a class! His lectures were so engaging! Definitely take him,I would take this class again if I could !!
He is super nice and wants you to get a good grade. I love his class
Nate was an amazing professor and it was a super easy class. Every week you have one discussion that is one response and responding to 3 people(but it's super easy). He goes over articles that you can read and you're quizzed on them every week but the quizzes are easy. He drops one discussion grade and one quiz. I def recommend this class.
Dr. V has been my best professor at ECU so far! Attendance is not mandatory but gives you extra credit if you attend the break out class. He gives so many extra credit opportunities and multiple chances for online quizzes. His lectures are very interesting. If you work on sona system ahead of time and study for the tests, you'll be sure to pass.
Cool guy, easy class, opens floor for discussion on any and all topics. Topics often make you think and keep you engaged.
