Best instructor ever had, period.
Best class ever! You honestly learn so much, and Neil is the funniest guy I've ever met! He is so intelligent and it truly shows in his lectures!
Knows his material very well and explained through wisdom and understanding that was very straightforward, almost as though talking to a friend about a past experience. Made class very enjoyableexciting to go to, and encouraged students to try their best and that they were capable of doing very well on all of the tests if they wanted to be
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.
He can talk for the whole class time, no problem but he is NOT boring! He gives pop quizzes in the middle of lecture on what you've talked about THAT class period and they're super easy. Take thorough notes and just review those for an easy A, he relays topics very clear! Tests are easy and theres 1 paper that you work on all semester! TAKE HIM!!!
He is hilarious and he doesn't teach you things you don't need to know. Pretty forward class as long as you show up to lecture and read your chapters. Overall, he's a cool guy and the class was interesting and easy.
Walker's class is beyond easy. PowerPoints are online & he gives study guides that cover the EXACT material on the test. You don't even need to go to class, but you lose points for each day you don't show up. Not going will hurt your grade. I never used the textbook once. He'll answer any questions you have.
I loved this professor! He made all of his lectures very interesting no matter how long they were. He is also super funny! I honestly never needed my book because he would cover everything on his power points. I would absolutely recommend him!
Very easy course. Kind of worried though since need to take advance neuroscience and I don't feel adequately prepared by his teachings. Easy course just beware it may bite you in the future.
He is one of the best teachers i have had a COC. His lectures were long, but that is bc i took his class over summer and he you don't even need to use a textbook. He is funny and keeps his lectures entertaining so his class isn't that boring. Also, his tests are exactly like his powerpoints
Easiest, and best professor yet! No extra credit but its not necessary. Gives study guides for every chapter, and covers ever tested subject in his lecture. Pay attention & you'll never need the textbook. Very dorky and entertaining teacher If you ask questions about a subject, he will tell you exactly what part of the infer will be on the test
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 ended up with an A!
such an easy A. the tests are literally the study guides and the one paper he assigns if u basically turn it in on time you get 100% which makes it an easy 250pts. he is by far the most laidback not strict in any way professor I've ever encountered. print out the studyguides b4 class and do them in class instead of taking notes, trust me
The best psych teacher ive ever taken. he is hilarious and is very logical about the discussions and amount of homework. you wont get bored in class and he is very approachable if you are having trouble keeping up. he is very understanding. probably my favorite professor this semester
I'm taking this class as a winter semester class, so it's 3+ hours of lecture. But to be honest the lecture is never boring as he is both hilarious and interesting. The class is fairly easy, and I would definitely take any class being taught by him.
Great professor. Always tried to work with me when I needed it for the class. Would highly recommend.
Walker is a very understanding teacher, willing to be flexible with tests and quizzes to see what is best for the class. I only took the Intro to Psych class, but he is very knowledgeable and has great stories about the broad subject. The only thing to worry about is the book, you'll need to read to pass the exams because he doesnt touch everything
Neil is a laid back and knowledgable professor. His lectures were never boring and he made all the material easy to understand and grasp. He wants all of his students to pass and I highly recommend printing out his powerpoints for class as they help tremendously with exams.
Neil is an amazing teacher, he's very understanding and makes the class easy for students to keep up. Print out his powerpoints and enjoy the class without trying to keep up with notes and you will excel!
His lectures are amazing, he really makes the topics memorable by telling funny storys. Show up to class and study the notes to get a good grade
He was honestly the most funny lecturer I have ever taken. Psychology was a bit boring but he made it really fun with simulations (which he was the star of the show). Pay attention, take notes, you will pass.
Every class is just a lecture, apart from exam days. The book really isn't needed everything you need is in his lectures. He has a "quiz" every class at the end but really its just so he can give you credit for showing up, but these can help your grade a lot so go to class. The quiz is really just your name on a paper. Easy class to pass.
He is super funny and makes the lectures super interesting. I would take this class over and over again. He truly cares that you understand the information, and allows for stories to be told as topics come up. He's amazing! Take his class!
This class was so easy to me. Show up, pay attention to the "ESTERS" (whats going to be on the test) and study them. He grades papers really easily and there isn't much work in this class. I do recommend showing up to the class though, as he gives participation points. Didn't crack my textbook open once though.
He was very nice and respected. He is bery understanding and keeps lectures interesting ! He is very funny and always kept the class laughing, I'd take the course again.
Professor Walker is the best! I love his class. His lectures are enjoyable and you learn a lot of interesting things. Study the ESTR's and you will pass the tests. One link paper and 4 exams. Take his class if you can!
This professor really wants his students to succeed. He is very specific about when things are due. He even lets you know what parts of the lectures will be on the test. I totally enjoyed psych 101 thanks to Prof. Walker!
Grade is 5 Exams and pts. to show up and then there are 4 outside assignments. Average was around 86 for all exams. I got the highest 99.5% overall with exceptional study. There are 4 points extra credit. Entertaining and cares a lot about student success. Everyone passed. Hardest exam was first by far. That was the only one I didn't get a perfect.
As long as you show up, pay attention to the lecture and study the ESTR's you'll do extremely well. There is one paper you have to do outside of class, but breaks it into parts so you don't have to do it all at once. I got an A in the class and I didn't even have the textbook. He is super nice and tries to make the lectures interesting.
Neil is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He's funny, gives easy participation credit as a booster for grades, is understanding for absences on test days, and is an absolute must-take :) Study what he tells you to and you'll pass his class easily.
Amazing teacher! The homework and tests are easy. Would highly recommend!
If you're taking Professor Walker show up to class and take good notes. Neil gives you assignment quizzes every class that are free points if you show up. He also tells you exactly what parts of the lecture will be on every exam. Neil is a little odd, but very funny. His class was one of my favorites; I definitely recommend him.
He's honestly really easy going, and learning from him was no challenge either. Just print out the power point slides follow along with his lectures, mark down and study what he says will be on the test and you'll do great. One Paper you'll have to write and it isn't too difficult if you understand the study you choose. He's a bit odd but great.
Professor walker is the best psych teacher out there! Very funny man who makes lectures interesting and engaging. Very easy hw and not alot either. Tells you exactly what to take note of during lectures so you know whats on the test. He literally says this "is on the test make note of that" highly recommend very easy and enjoyable class.
One of the best teachers I have ever had. He gives you all the answers to the test so if you pay attention you should do really well. Learned so much and obtained an A with minimal effort because of how well he taught. Show up and you get easy points for writing down something you learned at the end of each class. Take this class with Neil!!!
Neil gave me 100% on both of my papers. I got an A, easily. Be grateful, show up to class, do the work.. it's simple. His lectures are hilarious, he's hilarious. I appreciate his humor and excitement.
Neil was one of the best professors Ive ever had. His lectures are hilarious and anyone who says otherwise was probably on their phone the whole time. His class is super easy, he basically tells you whats gonna be on the test. Easy A. He also gives free points for attendance, so go to class.
He is such a funny teacher and I can't emphasize enough how he makes learning so fun. I took him for a winter class and all the work was compacted into 4 weeks so the workload was big but as long as you study and write down the RED colored notes and study them, you should do fine. He made a 4 hour Psych class fun and I loved him for it.
Professor Walker is a very charismatic and fun instructor. I'm not entirely sure how he is in other Psych classes, but Psych 101 was one of the most fun courses I've ever taken. Obviously, like any course, if you don't pay attention you won't do great, but as long as you listen to him during lectures, you're pretty much guaranteed a good grade.
Neil Walker has been my favorite teacher at coc. I took his class for pych101 and 102. His lectures are very entertaining and full of humor so they are easy to get through. The class has 5 exams and as long as you study the notes taken in class and the "esters" you will do great. He gives numerous examples relating to the material and is helpful.
Taking professor Neils class was just wonderful. The materials that we learn in psych 102, may be challenging. However, he makes it easy and understandable to us. I loved his class and you should definitely take his classes whenever you have chance to. Youll figure out what Im saying when you take his class. Hes the best and fun!
Neil Walker is the best professor I have had so far at COC. He makes learning the material for the exams easy with the type of notes we take. You only have to do 4 GLA/essays throughout the semester that are super easy and 5 exams. He is a hilarious and great professor and made a 3 hour class interesting the whole time.
TAKE PROFESSOR WALKER!! This was one of the best professors Ive ever had! The lectures are super funny and entertaining. Notes are super important and hell let you know whats going to be on exams! Really fun class! Make sure you go to every class, super important.
He amazing, the best and funniest teacher I have taken. He gives every single answer to the test in his lectures. There is no textbook, only the material given in class. Words cannot describe how amazing he is. Neil is amazing, don't lose out on taking his class.
He is the BEST professor i have ever hard. He is a genuinely whole hearted person and wish he could teach all my classes. I took his class in winter 2019, but just remembered to add this review.
Professor Walker is the best professor i've ever had. He made psych interesting and very enjoyable to learn. He gives all answers for the tests in his lectures, so go to class!! and gives credit just for going to class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS CLASS!
Professor Walker is one of my favorites, Show up to the class and take notes, read all the notes for the exams cause exams can be hard, and submit your homework on time, cause youll lose points. Easy A.
I LOVED this man through and through. Absolutely THE BEST professor Ive EVER had. His lectures were NEVER boring AT ALL and the tests were easy if you studied. Phenomenal
Best professor I've ever had. His sense of humor makes his class enjoyable. Lecture can be long/ boring but he makes it interesting with his analogies to help us remember info for exams. He knows his material very well! I transferred to csun, but all I can say is that he's #1! He also cares about his students, really devoted and passionate
Taken as a winter class. Lectures are really informative (and funny) and Professor Walker highlights the necessary terms that will be used on the exams. Exams are straight forward and multiple choice. The two papers you will do are extremely easy (he provides samples). He answers any questions. I would recommend Walker for any COC and AOC students.
walker is the absolute best professor i would definitely take him again. he highlights whats on the test in every slide he has so if you show up you'll do fine. he has occasional essays that are only 1 - 2 pages long on interesting topics so it makes it fun. hes super cool i definitely recommend
Honestly a gem. Neil is funny and knows how to teach and is open to any question or remark. Its important to attend lectures bc he highlights what are on the test and that's the only thing that will show. Honestly even if you dont study and just listen to the lectures its an easy C. Not hard, caring man.
Professor Walker is absolutely amazing! 100% recommend taking his class. Not only is it easy but he is so helpful and caring throughout the entire course. He will send daily announcements reminding you what's due and when. He definitely wants his students to succeed. Lectures are not mandatory but trust me they are super helpful if you show up!
Professor Neil Walker is an amazing teacher. His grading criteria is clear and he gives amazing lectures. I definitely enjoyed learning about the fundamentals of Psychology thanks to Neil. I took his class in Fall 2019. Only reason I got a B+ and not an A was my fault.
Great and Helpful Professor.
Professor Walker is the BEST Professor I've ever had. I actually took 3 of his classes because of that. He is such a brilliant man; he makes his lectures very interesting and hilarious, and he cares about his students. I wish I could take him again. Take his class, you will not regret it!
Very easy class. Zoom meetings are all recorded so you don´t have to show up for the meetings. 5 exams and one paper and weekly discussion and that´s it. Very easy and I´d take him again.
Funnest professor
Neil is one of the kindest and funniest professors Ive had. Hes very understanding and very clear on what needs to be done in order to pass. I was taking his class when COC transferred to online classes and he made it so easy for us. I 1000000% recommended his class.
Professor Walker gave really engaging, straightforward lectures that didnt have me yawning or wishing class would end. He was very sweet and kind to everyone. He wants you to succeed and understands how hard psych 102 can be. However his exams were not hard. He gives you all the info you need for the exam. I also took his class online.
I loved Walker. His lectures were educational and entertaining, and he is a very understanding and helpful guy. The exams are open note, and there are a few essays throughout the term that I actually found to be enjoyable, since they only had to be about a page and a half long.
I LOVED THIS CLASS! Amazing, interesting lectures. He literally highlights what you'll need to know for the tests. Even though attendance wasn't mandatory, I found myself joining the zoom lectures anyways. He was funny and nice. Sometimes class was only 30 minutes. If you need a PSYCH professor, CHOOSE HIM! This class was incredibly easy.
I definitely would suggest Neil! I love his class, and everything highlighted in red is on the exam. Plus, when you take the exam, it's open notes. Books are not required, you need the printable handout that he gives, and you're set. I wish you well with your college journey!
Professor Walker is hands down the best Professor I have ever taken! I've token three of his classes and would take another one if I could. He is funny, caring, and his lectures are always on point. Hands down my favorite Professor! Take his class, you won't regret it
Very Chill and easy going. Funny lectures. Clear outlined lectures. Easy papers. Tests are clear and on specified lectures. Would take him again.
Professor Walker is an amazing person who has great sense of humor. He does not give you unnecessary information and exclusively gives the content needed for the exams. He makes his classes laugh and he gives great responses to students' questions. Always positive 24/7, would recommend 100%.
Professor Walker is one of the most kind and caring professors I have ever encountered. He genuinely cares about his students and makes his class enjoyable. He is not only funny, but is able to engage a class to where you are excited for the next class. If you have the chance to take his class, I highly, highly recommend it!
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
It was an absolute joy to be taught by Neil. Hes kind, funny, brilliant, and very enthusiastic in his lectures. 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!
Amazing Lectures, easier tests and show up for class review question points.
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.
Easy A he wants you to pass the class
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.
professor Walker always kept class so entertaining-even during lectures. grade is based on 5 exams but if you take notes you should easily get high scores. would definitely take his class again.
Professor Walker is the sweetest teacher I have ever had. He deserves the world. You can feel the passion he has for teaching. Class is so easy, he really just wants the best for his students. There are 5 tests & 5 essays for the semester that are so simple. He highlights information from his slides in red so you know exactly what to study. Easy A!
Professor Neil was the best! There were a total of 4 essays that were super simple and 5 exams which he lets you use a note card for. I definitely recommend him for psych 101. Would take him again if I could.
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.
He is amazing. The classes aren't too long. Exams are pretty simple. It's an easy A as long as you show up to class.
Great professor! 5 total exams no midterm or final. If you study for the tests you'll be fine
I love Neil! He is a sweet professor and so cheerful. 5 exams and 4 essays, I found all the exams easy as he lets you use a notecard and what's on the exam are highlighted in red in his lectures. The essays are easy too and he gives you plenty of prompts to right on. Take him!
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.
He's one of the best professors I've ever had, he genuinely cares about his students and tries to make the class as easy as he can. He tells you exactly what's on the exam, and lets you use a index card. He's funny and cares about his subject. I strongly recommend :) Thank you Neil!
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!
He was an absolutely phenomenal professor! He definitely wants all his students to pass, you just have to show up and take the notes for the test because he makes it very straight forward if you do just that!
