I took his 8 week course online (accidentally) and passed with an A. The 8 week course was a LOT of work/quizzes, as long as you’re on top of it you’ll pass with flying colors. If you take the 16 week course it should be a lot easier and less assignments. Take the class! Believe me I just got out the USMC haven’t done school in 4-5 years!

Very tough class, GREAT professor! 26 tests total (13 chapter quizzes, 8 unit exams, and 5 comprehension tests). Take extensive notes of his lectures (on YouTube), watch them again, then again. Make sure you understand EVERYTHING! Email him, he'll do a tutoring session with you. One extra credit, lots of points. Grades are curved. No midterm/final.

Honestly, I only got a C+ because I didn't put in my all and math isn't my most vital subject but professor Billings made it easy to understand. I loved taking his class he will do a tutoring session with you if you ask for one and literally will help you understand, he wants you to do good! Very kind guy and funny. Do the extra credit helps alot.

Super easy course. I took the 8wk term. One discussion post a week, about 5-8 quick assignments a week, and about 3 quizzes a week. It sounds scary but they are extremely easy if you read the textbook. Everytime he grades my discussion posts, he gives very helpful feedback. I 100% recommend this professor if you need to take this course.

Prof Billings' lectures are very easy to absorb and they are on YouTube so you can put them in 2x speeds w/ captions. He is very knowledgeable and will not make student life difficult. His class is very manageable and his assessments are very similar to the practice problems.

Professor Billing's class was one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. You do a discussion post every week and reply to two peers, 2 chapters and assignments on that per week on MindTap (online textbook), there are 5 quizzes, and there are quizzes on each chapter on MindTap. It is a lot of homework but very manageable.

class was rarely taught by the professor, it's all on cengage. Grade determined by mindtap assignments worth 5pts each, first week had about 25 assignments due. For a summer class, thought the amount of work he assigned was ridiculous. get the busy work done on time the class should be easy, just don't take this class if you actually want to learn.

I just recently finished Professor Billing's class (a four-week summer course). He's a rather friendly guy and was really helpful during the first week. However, keep in mind that this course is VERY, VERY basic. Honestly, most of what's covered feels like common-sense psychology. I was hoping for a bit more for a collegiate-level course.

Professor Billings' PSY101 class is a manageable online course. With weekly discussion posts, quizzes, and assignments, it's doable if you stay on top of the textbook readings. unstuckstudy was a helpful study tool alongside other resources.

I loved taking Professor Billings' course this semester. I took the Psych 101 eight-week online course and it was really easy to follow along with. The online textbook and program made it very clear what assignments to do, and what specific material to study.

I took an 8wk psy101 course and it was super easy. This class does use cengage/mindtap and it was $110. Other than that I loved this class and the discussions and assignments were very clear and interesting/.

Sometimes if you don't understand the lesson, you can text him and ask him. He will give you extra credit if you miss a lesson. All the lessons are on another website and I spent $100 on mindtaps to study the lessons and exercises there.
