I took one of this three hour classes, so be prepared to go all the way up to the three hour mark. Other than that, very easy teacher. If you show up and take good notes, you'll do fine. He has "quizzy things" which you literally write your name on a paper, and turn that in. Only trouble i had is the info itself, it gets very confusing. (bio psych)

He is a sweet person! He is very very helpful and he knows what he is talking about. He always has a positive attitude and he always answers your questions. He makes sure that the class doesn't feel confused. There are a lot of small quizzes but they are based off of the lecture. You do have to read the book and it's a lot of information to grasp.

This is a super easy class. As long as you sit down and read (or even just skim thru) the chapters, you'll get a good grade on the tests. I took short term class so we had tests every Thursday, but it was easy. Just take notes on his slides and read the chapters. It's not that much of reading, but it was actually interesting.

I highly recommend taking Mr. Walker's class. He is a kind man with a good sense of humor. The work load is not bad at all. Essays only have to be 1-2 pages long and it is based on critical thinking. The exams can be difficult but he highlights the important things during his lectures so it is clear what to study and take notes on.

This course typically has difficult material however he makes it the easiest way possible to retain the information for tests. he has a project that you do throughout the class that is fairly easy and worth alot of points that helps your grade massively. He will never put something on the test he didnt teach you n if he does he removes the question

There are a few exams and one critical thinking essay, but if you pay attention, study, and try your best, you should get along just fine. You wont regret taking this class. Thank you Neil!

I loved having Neil as a professor! I had him for both psych 101 and decided to have him again for 102. He is very funny and his lectures are always so interesting and engaging! Just show up to class to get the notes for the exams because they really help. There are review quizzes at the end of each class for points which also do help your grade!

Professor Walker was such an amazing professor. He was enthusiastic and had a great personality. Class was mainly lecture, but he was sure to provide us with key information that would be on the exam. As long as you follow along with the reading and lecture, you'll be sure to pass.

I loved Professor Walker! He was one of the funniest and most entertaining Professors I've ever had and you could tell that he wanted every one of his students to succeed. You should be good if you pay attention in class and take good notes. He made lectures super entertaining too!

One of the best professors I've ever had to be honest. You can tell he cares a lot about his students and I got As on every exam. Only professor to let me listen to music while taking an exam which really helped me focus due to how my ADHD works.

He's an amazing professor! His lectures are really entertaining. All of the things to study are written in red so it makes notes really easy. I would recommend reading the textbook before the test. It's accessible online and free. There were about 3 questions per test that was only in the textbook. I would highly recommend taking him for psych.

Very very funny! His lectures are so interesting and engaging, and everything you need to know for the exams are always highlighted on the PowerPoints he uses. Grades are pretty much dependent on the exams, but they're very straightforward and he allows a notecard for notes to be used on the exams. I'd definitely take again!

Overall Professor Neil was amazing. We had a total of 3 exams and a an essay due right before/after the exam day. All his lectures are clear and whatever is on the test will be in the lecture, so definitely show up to lecture. He lets you have one index card with information on it for the exams. He is a really really amazing professor.

My favorite professors I have ever taken at coc by far! His lectures were engaging and easy to follow along, it felt like I was listening to a podcast! Never had a dull moment in his lectures because he is hilarious and passionate when lecturing. I strongly recommend him, accessible outside of class and is super understanding. A+=never miss class:)

He's genuinely so kind. I was terrified to take this class because I dislike anatomy and have never taken an anatomy class before, but he provides all the answers for exams in his notes and you can use a 3x5 index card on every exam. I enjoy listening to his lectures, he's very outgoing. Ironically, it's an easy class for the subject it is.

The funniest professor at COC. His lectures were informative and entertaining at the same time. He allows an index card for your exams, but you basically don't need it. His exams are solely based off what his lecture slides say, or something he may have said during the lecture. His exams were light (as long as you pay attention) and yeah. Take him!
