Uses the classroom as a pulpit to preach a political agenda. Reads from pre printed class notes instead of lecturing. Uninspiring, filthy and smug in his tenure.

Doesn't really teach as much as he talks about himself or his experiences (not that they relate to the class subject at all). Rambles on about off topic subjects and teaches by reading from the mandatory purchase pre-printed class notes. Tests are mutiple choice but may include politically charged, off topic questions. Tenured Jerk.

Dr. Devine is probably the worst professor I have ever had. All he cares about is his own personal life. He doesn't teach anything to the class; he only reads of of the powerpoints. He is erragant and rude and acts as though every student is beneath him. He never returns e-mails and he barely answers your questions when you ask them to his face. It was the worst experience of my whole educational career!!!

I go to Holy Spirit Prep high school and Dr. Devine comes in and teaches us college psyc. He is terrible and I can't stand him. He talks about the most random things, repeats himself, wastes time, reads off of dumb notes, can't spell worth a flip, etc. I have no idea why he isn't a homeless bum without a job.

Relies soley on powerpoint presentations and doesn't use the book which he makes you buy anyways. Puts mandatory content on a hard to use WebCT interface. Talks endlessly about his own exploits and accomplishments rather than the course subject. the tests do not include content from the book or the powerpoints. Avoid this flaming tard at all costs!

Talked endlessly about his interests and acomplishments. His lectures are not on the materials outlined but are instead about his exploits with the Braves and his experiences in business. He avoids answering questions with clear answers so he can be sure to mark you wrong if he doesn't like you. The only way to get a good grade is to kiss ass.

Terrible final. not at all what was said to be

worst professor ever. Uninterested in teaching but loves himself. If you love to suck up to ignorant and lazy teachers, you'll do well and get an A. If you like to learn and don't like wasting time that could be better spent learning for real, skip this guy and go with Helms or Rogers.

If I hear one more story about how great this guy thinks he is I'm going to puke. What an incredible twit. 0% teaching, 100% memorizing powerpoints for easy multiple choice tests. Class is pretty easy if you don't mind wearing cotton in your ears. He is probably the most worthless professor in the psychology department. Stroke his ego for the win!

Loser. Boring. No more stories. We should be paid to attend his class; not us paying to hear him! UGH. What is the University thinking allowing him to continue?

DON'T TAKE HIM. He's a nice guy, but he is not a good teacher. This class was the most boring class I have ever taken here at KSU. I think they only keep him around because he has been here so long, they are praying for him to retire.

Do not take this class, all he talks about is his life and nothing else important. He tries to relate real life situations to what he teaches but they do not connect at all. I feel sorry if you get stuck in this class. Memorize his power-points, don't buy the book, and use the practice tests on the publishers website. Good luck, you'll end up with

75% of the lecture is about himself. He is completely narcissistic and is not concerned with the student's success or failure. He is not interested in teaching and he is pure lazy. He doesn't give clear information on assignments. One of the worst teachers I've ever had.

Had to comment. Summer of 2006, I took 3 classes from him. A doctor on campus found a lump in my breast. I had an emergency ultrasound. Devine didn't care. In addition, he fell asleep during presentations and was further hospitalized that fall. He failed me in 2 classes when I got Bs. He wouldn't change my grade. I'm appauled he's still at KSU.

I was really excited to take IO psyc, but Dr. D made this class painful to sit through. All he did was talk about himself, and even carried on personal conversations (that had nothing to do with class topics) with older students who have a similar background as him. It was a waste of my time. Hard tests, easy projects. Will never take him again.

I took him for Senior Seminar. He is by far one of the worst psych professors we have. Arbitrary grading system, always late to class, rambles on without any reason. Unfortunately he's tenured so he likely won't change even after poor reviews.

DO NOT TAKTE THIS PROFESSOR. He spends 80% of the lecture time talking about himself and other irrelevant topics. The lectures are ridiculous and his assignments are pointless. He's a nice guy, but I haven't learned a thing in his class- except how to tune him out when he goes on one of his 30 minute tangents.

"blah blah , hahaha ! blah blah blah haha!" That's basically what you hear in the 2 hours and 45 minutes of class. Everything he discusses in class is online because he post the same powerpoint on d2l. He is not good at explaining the information and his test are suuuuuuuuuuuuuper hard! I would not advise anyone to take him if it is possible.

If you are a psyc major and need to take an upper level psychology course do not take this course I don't car how much you study you'll never pass because the quizzes and exams are extremely hard. He reads off of 50 slides each class period the material isn't presented so you can get an understanding. This is a warning do not take this course!

Avoid Dr. Devine at all costs! Worst professor KSU has! He doesn't follow his syllabus. No clear grading rubric. Senior Sem. was a joke! All group presentations so he doesn't have to teach. He's not willing to work with you! Requires a 74 to pass the class so there's no way to recover if you fail/miss an assignment. Definitely do not recommend!

Doesnt follow the syllabus and is an emotional grader. He failed half the class and passed the people he liked. Never checks his email and gets off topic ALOT.

I took him over the Summer for Senior Seminar in a 4 week course. Big mistake! Had group presentations, senior test, final paper, final presentation for the paper, and professionalism. He definitely gives good feedback but majority of my class failed. I would avoid him if I was you.

Trust me, don't take this professor. Only gives a few grades, grades harshly and unevenly, and generally does nothing to help the class or even teach it.

Didnt lecutre or teach anything. Had almost a perfect grade in the class until the senior paper, which i had revised by him and several other people. Ended up with an 89.4, explained how hard i had worked, no feedback on what i had done wrong on the paper, asked if there was anything i could do (needed an A to get into grad program). No response.

Trust me when I say he's the worst professor I've ever had. Inconsistent grading, poor communication, and rude manners. Wish I could go in depth here but this was the last class I needed to graduate, he failed me and I had to go through a lot of hoops to remedy that. He doesn't care about his students. STAY FAR AWAY.

This guy talks and talks and talks. I don't think I ever saw him take a breath. I don't recommend taking him. His tests and rubrics are very confusing and seem to have been written by an elementary student with multiple grammar and spelling errors.

The quizzes are open notes/book, etc.. - got a 14 or 15 on each. Discussions are great way to make extra credit, only reason I passed. (Hint: +3pt if you have an outside reference). No matter how I studied, or made my 2 pg allowed cheat sheet, I still failed every test. Some weeks the lectures were 2 1/2 hours! Intro class shouldn't be this hard :(

Most inexcusably vague and poorly taught class I have taken so far at KSU. Had to email for clarification on nearly every assignment, often assigned work with no grading criteria so you are left guessing what the professor wants. Confusingly set up website, posts riddled with spelling errors, you will pass in spite of him, not because of him

Do not take his class!! Hes an awful professor, the class is set up confusing and his grading criteria is never clear. Even using notes while taking the test youll barely pass.

hes a horrible professor who cant take feedback. his test are impossible to do well on and you have a test per week or an assignment that takes 5+ hours to complete. He doesnt give feedback and his TAs grade everything. avoid him at all costs!!

Do not take this class. I had him for senior capstone and he is a ridiculous grader, extremely rude, and requires a lot. His feedback on grades are not constructive, and unpleasant.

I'm telling you, trust these reviews. His entire class is run by his TAs and he has many of them, which I think shows how uninvolved he is. He doesn't respond to emails and when he does he's extremely disrespectful. His assignments are incredibly long but honestly fine if you just do the work. I don't normally write reviews but man, he's just mean.

Ive never had a worse professor. He failed most of my class 2 days before we were supposed to graduate. He laughed and said we had senioritis on his 13 page paper that he gave us zeros on. He had no sympathy and would not help in any way. He is extremely unprofessional and vindictive. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HIM FOR ANY CLASS

AVOID TAKING HIS COURSE. He doesn't respond to emails and he also doesn't grade work until 2 days before final grades are due. His grading is unclear and he takes away however many points he feel. OVER 3 YEARS IN COLLEGE AND HE IS THE ONLY PROFESSOR I KNOW WHO DOES POINT REDUCTION. he contradicts his self which makes it nearly impossible to pass.

This man will end your academic career!!! If there is a 0.001% chance that it looks like you cheated on anything he will report you for it and mark you as guilty without hearing your side of the story! Success is a punishable offense in his class. Do not take him, do not make the mistake I did!

HE WILL END YOUR ACADEMIC CAREER OUT OF SPITE. He reported me to SCAI for plagiarism. I had to spend the last few weeks of my semester proving my innocence via documentation and countless meetings instead of actually preparing for finals. I won but he messed with my mental state. The amount of stress is insane. He is out for blood. Do not do it.

Worst professor I have worked with. To think I chose to work with this man outside of class and in a directed study because I thought I could learn something from him. Completely WRONG. He was disrespectful, mistreated me as student, and didn't teach me anything except for how to stand up for myself against a horrible person, that being himself.

This course taught me one thing: how to make the best out of the worst possible situation. He is a spiteful and very emotional grader with heinous intentions for someone who is self-proclaimed to be an educator. If you don't abide by his demands, he'll REPORT YOU TO SCAI. Don't make the same mistake I did, AVOID HIM LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!

Don't take his class if you have a choice. Multiple students had issues with him giving low or failing grades without providing appropriate feedback to back up the grade given. If his class is the only option available, make sure you meet with him every chance you get to confirm that your work meets his expectations.

I would rather eat sand than take his class again. He gave me an 80 on a project because he confused me with another group and he never fixed it. He also goes on hour long tangents that make you want to rip your hair out.

What a nightmare of a man. Goes around saying he's a girl dad but is insanely condescending towards female students. I made him mad ONE time and he tanked my grade on an assignment even though I only messed up one thing that wasn't even that serious. When I asked about it he said i didn't add references even though I literally did
