Great teacher. She gives a lot of examples to help you understand better. No tests, but you have to make presentations and outlines. You better work on the outlines, they're tedious, but it's easy at the end. He understands how the class feels; therefore he'll make changes for good. Finally he's very handsome in my opinion.

He has a great personality not doubt about it. However, he for me it's pretty much a beginner .Basically he let us do all the work, when he should be explaining and everything like all teachers do. He even admits he doesn't even know what he's doing. LOADS of work again cause he doesn't explain, quizzes hard as hell don't take any class with him.

DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER! Seriously this guy doesn't know is stuff. Like someone else said he actually really admits to not understand the book. He gets ridiculously redundant with his stupid outlines. Which IMO don't really teach anything. Moreover, he's very unorganized; one day he'll ask you something, and another day he'll say the opposite.

Absolutely a mess! I don't know really why this guy decided to teach when he he's so messy and unorganized.Most people on this class complained about him because he didn't come to a decision when it came to grade the class. He doesn't teach anything.He expects you to do outlines that don't really help. In conclusion, he should teach and give tests

Good teacher. Easy to understand and gives good lectures. Actual course work is not good though, the outlines he makes you do are not very helpful when it comes to tests and quizzes.

So taking him online was a big mistake. He does not explain how he wants the outlines and also the other homework, but when you try to message he does not respond.

Took his online class during summer. Every unit has participation and homework assignments - you NEED the textbook for these. Exam at the end of every unit, plus a final exam. Flexible if he sees need for it - responds to emails within 24 hrs! A couple opportunities for extra credit. If you put in your part and do work, you should be fine.

Great instructor. Took him for Psychology of personality as well. He responds quickly to questions and wants to make sure you understand the material as a student. He is a fair grader. Online classes with him were a breeze. Might seem like a lot of work, but he made it really understandable. And it's manageable.

Absolutely amazing professor! He is passionate about this subject and a great teacher all around. In order to pass you must study and read on your own but as long as the work is put in it isn't a hard class. He makes lectures fun and very interesting/deep. I'm not even going into psychology however his class made me consider a career in psychology.

A really great class to start off with. Teaches by powerpoints, so note taking helps a lot when answering the study guides. You should also buy the book, because thats basically the answers to the study guide, therefore the exam. The class is very interesting and you learn a lot by the end of the semester.
