Really fun class! Want more info, go to his ratings for his old schhool at http://ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=37319 Funny guy :-) Happy Monday!
rock on
This was a fun class with a great professor. I really enjoyed it.
Awsome class, hillarious teacher.
Great class, good extra credit opportunities, funny guy!
FUN NOT BORING LIKE OTHER TEACHERS. BUT, GIVES HARD TESTS WITH REASONABLE GRADES.
He is very funny and makes the class fun.
Really fun class. However he does have this link on his webCT so you have to wonder if he put up his own ratings. But still a very fun class, and since the course is required, I definately recommmend you take it with him.
Herrle makes his class one I look forward to with interest and optimism. He makes learning fun and hasn't even pulled out a clown wig or anything yet! Great guy! Take his class!
A tough class, but one of the best teachers I've had!
Herrle is a good man and teacher. He makes lecture very fun and interesting. He grades COMPLETELY fair. If you do your assignments and study a little bit before each test you will get an A. HAPPY TUESDAY :)
Herrle is a very good class. You will be doing papers and projects so get ready. He is funny and invites class discussions. Tests are based on notes he gives during class. Very nice person in general.
Very good teacher. Highly recommend.
Herrle is an awesome smartass professor!
Very funny guy.
Very funny, and open minded. Lets you use notes on every test...so keep a lot of good notes.
really fun, related psychology to everyday life to make it easier to understand. Always in a good mood. tests come half from lecture notes, half from the book. Work load pretty easy, mostly reading assignments
Great professor. Highly recommended. Teaching is thorough and helps one to understand themselves and people around them. Material is challenging and interesting. I look forward to taking other classes with him.
Honestly knows what he's doing and has his routine down. How many teachers can entertain a large group and hold its attention this well? He comes in each day laid back with a smile on his face. His assignments are also flexible and fair. Hard to find a fault with him, really.
loved the class & the prof! easy & entertaining.. i'd definately take a class with him again :)
fun, relxed lectures..lets you use notes on the tests..which is fabulous!!
If you want to enjoy your class receive a great grade. Get all the help you will ever need. Take this Professor Herrle. He is the best Professor with the best class I have ever taken. Every class is interesting, fun, interactive and exciting. He gives you many ways to get a good grade with extra credit. He is the best.
He is wonderful.
keep your good works up. society needs people like you to build an environment prone of intelligent people.
AMAZING PROFESSOR! He is extremely nice and very funny. Class is always entertaining and hes always willing to answer any question. His tests are pretty hard but he lets you use your notes. Always has grades and notes available online. The best professor i've had so far. Highly recommended.
He really pulls you in to interacting with the class! People actually talk to one another, which makes it a more friendlier environment and Herrle sets that up for everyone.
He made it impossible to be bored in this class. made all material relevent to the students. if you are going to take psych take Herrle.
Great professor, great class.
Super awesome class. If you do your work and put in effort then you'll pass the class with a good grade. Only a dummy could fail this class. Paul is a great teacher, makes class fun and interesting. He rocked!
Professor Herrle ROCKED! After his class, I totally love psychology and I would love to take another one of his classes!
There is no way you can fail with Professor Herrle. He will work with you , encourage you and make the class fun and enjoyable. It was the best class I have taken yet! He is a very hot man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an awsome class! Keeps you interested in the subject at all times. He is a tough grader though, but is fair. I would take him for other classes that he offered also. He is hot!
Professor Herrle keeps the class alive while providing a learning environment that is just right for the college experience. This course is a good course for people to take no matter what major they are studying. Two thumbs up! This class allows people to think outside of the box, instead of telling us what is right and what is wrong.
Proffesor Herrle is great! I love his class. He knows what he is doing and will be willing to help you no matter what. I highly reccomend this class.-
He is the best teacher around he makes sure he break's it down so that everyone can relate HE IS THE BOMB!!!!!!!!
mr. herrle is great! very approachable and makes the the classroom so much funwhile we are learning at the same time. i wish more professors were like him!
One word will describe him: Awesome!! his class is amazing, at first I thought it would be another boring class with a lame proffesor... but oh boy I was sooooooo wrong! he makes it fun and amazing. It's like if you go to a stand up comedy while learning psychology, yeah...that cool. ;) His jokes are awesome too.
Herrle is my favorite professor so far. He makes everything easy to understand & he welcomes questions. Everything is put on a personal level. He uses humor to help us remember chapters & it works! Thanks Herrle! I'll see you in another one of your classes I'm sure!
I have taken many classes over the years (not for a degree)and he is by far the best Prof I have ever had. You learn while having fun. Just by taking his class,has made my life seem worthwhile.
happy friday! great professor. kept class very interesting.
I can pretty much agree with everyone else, Herrle is a great professor. If you are new to college, he is a great person to make that transition with. He is quite lenient on assignments and is really good about how he grades. Start the group project early. You will actually want to attend his classes because you have such a good time.
His class is very easy. He gives lectures (not boring ones) during class and gives tests over the weekend. He also spends the first half hour on current events and relates it all back to Psch. He doesn't give a lot of assignments and makes the whole experience fun! Must take!
Herrle best teacher i have had so far in college. havent had a teacher like this since high school! you do have to read the book. everything but the book is on WebCT. if you dont like this teacher your a tard and a half! oh and best believe im taking him again for PSY203! you do have a group project in class but you have almost the whole semster.
Herrle is an AWESOME teacher. He keeps you interested in the subject. There was not one boring day in PSY. He makes it fun and easy to comprehend. Lessons & Quizzes are easy! HAVE FUN! :)
HE IS SO HOT
I had Prof. Herrle when he taught in California. AWESOME PERSON! GREAT TEACHER! If you were not interested in Psychology before Herrle, I guarantee you will after his class.
He is one of the best teachers I have ever had in all my years of schooling.
he is literally an amazing teacher!!! csn haha.. but the test are extremely easy. do the sample test. and he gets his midterm from the test you have takin over the chapters.. everybody should get an a.. just do all of hte assignmentS!!!
Herrle is the BESSST!! Taking him again! Easy professor who doesn't give hw but always tells us to study. Tests are online at home except for the midterm and the final.. Awesome teacher! HAPPY SATURDAY!!
Professor Herrel is an awesome teacher! If you want to take psych, Herrel is your man! Take his Human Sexuality class*
Most awesome teacher ever. I would absolutely LOVE to take every single one of the classes he teaches.His lectures are always fun and exciting; his is the only class I don't ditch.Definitely take his class if you're going to take psychology.
Herrle is a fun, intelligent, enthusiastic teacher. Grades on a variety of assignments: papers, tests, group projects, homework, class participation, etc. Students work on psych related topics in varied formats, not just tests. Loves teaching, the students, and the subjects taught. Relates psych to life and life to psych. Abnormal Psy, FUN!
I cant say more than TAKE HIS CLASS!!! He is absolutely unbelievable and is one of the best teachers ive ever had. Your idea of what a good professor is will change after you take his class. Ive never been more intersested into just hearing what someone has to say. Just go through and read everyones else's comments. Bravo Herrle, Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I couldnt have said it better that anyone else hes such a good listner ud find something just to tell him (obviously hes a psy teacher) anyway heres everything ull do in that class throughout the semester...3-4 articles on annything 5-6 online multiple choice tests on each ch.o ya, Mid term and final...hes class is FUN FUN FUN...period!!!
As you read, this class is fun, the discussions were fun, but being in a class that is fun its hard to get through the discussions, since everyone had a question to ask, especially the topic on dreams. And at times, we missed almost two chapters discussions from the book because of the questions that our class didn't do so well on the online test
This was an online class it was very intense. There was a lot of reading,tests and several articles to write. Professor Herrle is very understanding and gives you extra credit. He is in constant contact with his online students. I was amazed that if I had questions he would be answering at midnight. He is very dedicated.
Professor Herrle is a great teacher. He really encourages his students to actively participate in discussion and if you dont...he will call you out! I too took his Human Sexuality class and for those who have taken it and have given him a bad rating...its probably because they weren't mature enough to handle topics about HUMAN SEXUALITY! He's up front and straight with you which can be hard for people to handle...but isn't that what you want in a professor? Unless you're up tight and can't handle REAL topics...TAKE THIS CLASS!!
Prof Herrle is an amazing teacher. I reccommend that everyone take his classes. I first had Herrle in Psy101, then I took his abnormal class and they were both amazing. Prof Herrle is wonderful and is really helpful. Anyone looking to take a Psy class should take his classes. Trust me you will never regret it.
Paul Herrle is one cool cat, and a pretty darn good teacher to boot. He makes you look forward to coming to class and it is guaranteed that you will enjoy it once you get there. And even though you could learn what he teaches in most any psychology class, having P.H. teach it to you makes it more likely that you will retain it. Rock on Paul
Undisputed teaching champ for Psychology at CSN!!! Jokes,Jokes,Jokes and mmmayybee more jokes.....
herrle is a great teacher he knows his stuff. he explains everything very well and gives many examples. he does talk alot about sex but thats because he is also a sex teacher so this class is not for uptight people.. he is the best.
Good class. Very fun and interesting. The tests were a little difficult but if you read the book you'll. do okay. overall a great class, easy A if you do all your assignment
He is an awesome tteache. He really loves his classes and really cares about his students. He is really good at making students feel comfortable.
ive only been in his class for like 3 weeks and i love it he's a great teacher and fun to. he likes to make a a lot of sex jokes which makes class a lot more interesting
Mr H has a way of talking that makes your yearn for more... His explanations of things is totally great!!!No matter how your day starts off... by the time you are done his class for the day... your are a reformed person...Mr. H..... please don't ever getrid of the "foreplay"
Professor Herrle,wow! awesome teacher!!! perhaps the best teacher ive had in college, VERY funny, smart and friendly.His way of teaching is awesome because his sense of humor and examples help students learn the material.you can honestly tell he loves his job and really cares about his students,overall GRREAT professor! :D
Great Class. Great Prof. very informative. never a dull moment in that class.
He is the most loveable teacher and is so wise. If you want to be a psychologist, start with him. Took him semesters ago and followed him to Cheyenne campus even. He's a great mentor!And he helps you no matter what. Sign up for him!
Honestly cares about his students. Gets people interested and warmed up for lectures by having a class discussion (foreplay) before the lecture. Do all the work, listen to his lecture (which isn't difficult, he's really funny and keeps students involved while lecturing.) He's by far the most interesting and funny professor I've had. Take his class!
Paul Herrle is THE bomb. He first and farmost is a devout Christian who while telling little jokes about real sitauatoins to ease a little of the tension brought on by the beginning of our classes called "foreplay" It is fun to watch him walk that fine tightrope between psychology and his faith. I PRAISE GOD FOR PUTTING MR. H IN MY LIFE M.G.
He is one of the best professors i've had. Number one thing is this class is fun!! Herrle makes the atmosphere comfortable and keeps things interesting making it easier to learn. I highly recommend him!!! =D
Fun & interactive class!
He is the greatest professor ever. If I could I would take him for all of my pre-reqs. He is extermely hot and sexy!!!!
Professor Herrle is very concious and caring about his students. He has an open door policy. You email him, and he responds quickly. If you are having problems, he will help you out as best as he can. Great professor. I highly recommend him!!!!
good teacher, and explain things very well.
Professor Herrle is a great educator. Had a great time in his online class and he was extremely helpful throughout every step of the class. Take his class if you can, you won't regret it.
I took the 3-week online summer session. Not too hard if you can read all 12 chapters and turn in your written assignments on time. If you complete and review all online bi-chapter exams, you should be totally prepared for the 100 question on-campus final exam. Herrle's class was well-organized and the subject matter was applicable to daily life.
GREAT PROFESSOR !!!
Professor Herrle above all was the most engaged teacher I have ever had. He is truly interested in psychology and is very knowledgeable. He responds to emails, takes time in class to answer questions, and instantly gains affection from all of his students. It was a pleasure being in his class.
Professor Herrle was great. There was a lot of work but easy to do and spaced out well. I took the 8 week Summer Semester and all of the assignments fit in well. He always e-mailed you back and was quick with grades. One time he had computer issues and the grades were a little backlogged but he kept informed. You will not go wrong picking him.
Overall, a satisfactory online experience. Straight forward instructions, helpful supplemental online material. He did not respond to an e-mail regarding my final paper on which he had incorrectly graded an APA citation. Not acceptable considering the paper was worth 10% of our grade. Minus two stars for NO communication and poor citation grading.
Best online class ever. Very interactive and Herlle would answer emails almost immediately. I even got a response from him at 2am!! If you can't take him in class, online is good too.
A truly great teacher. His classes are fun and very interessting. Never a dull moment. If only all teachers were more like him. Although I wished he had tried to hook up students.
Online class. Very well-structured and he is very active in our learning experience. You will learn a lot in this class and everybody should take it (along with Phil 102).
took him online. very kind, friendly, and helpful. however, this class isn't for the people that want an easy a. you definitely have to work for your grade, especially with the tests. also, i wish i had known prior to registration for this class that the midterm and final have to be taken at a CSN learning center. you cannot take them from home.
one word: AWESOME!
AMAZING TEACHER. I've never seen him have a bad day. He engages with the students. He finds ways to make sure the topic relates to us so that it's easier to remember later. BEST TEACHER EVER!
When I first read all the comments, I thought it was the second coming or something. Yes, he's friendly & funny and all that, but sorry, I dont see what all the hype is about. Final and midterm are way too hard without much of a review before. The group assignment is b.s.- you come to the class to talk and be entertained, learning comes second.
Paul Herrle is friggin' AWESOME! Great instructor, knows the material, will help out any way he can. He even gave my truck a jump-start one day in the parking lot! Office hours are awesome. TONS of reading, but you really do learn the material that way. Not an easy A if you take the 3.5 week course, but obtainable. Highly recommended!
HERRLE IS THE BEST!!! I have taken him for 2 classes so far and have yet to have a complaint. His classes are discussion based as opposed to lecture. It really gives you the chance to learn and ask questions. Tests are super easy. One group project a few hw assignments. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!! EASY A & FUN. HUMAN SEXUALITY IS FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!
I just dont think he's as great as he thinks that he is. It is a discussion based class, so everyone in the world has a comment or question, no matter how dumb it is. He seems like an alright kinda guy, but it depends on why you are there -to laugh and learn jokes or to actually learn more and be prepared for higher UNLV study...
He is such a great teacher i plan on taking his class again just for the hell of it
AMAZING, He is truly the greatest Professor I have had.
Ok, the consistent words here are "awesome" and "fun", but I think a class should be more than that. I just sit back and wonder, as I listen to all these people give their mindless opinions, how much MORE I could learn from Herrle if it was not a discussion based class. He's fairly knowlegeable, but I felt shortchanged because of class opinions.
I think he is a really helpful teacher. Very fair. I took his online course and it was a great learning experience.
Totally amazing =] He teaches in a discussion format. It isn't jus memorizing text book facts. We learn everyday applications for the things stopics he teaches. He is a great teacher, and he really cares for his students :)
not my favorite and i withdrew from his class. i didnt find him interesting and i actually found him to be a bit boring. if i would have know i would have chosen another professor.
Sorry, but I'm not a fan.
Herrle really makes learning fun. I wish I had more teachers like him. He's a genuinely dear sweet man who really cares about his students and an amazing instructor. He is very knowledgeable. Everyone should take his class. :)
He's funny and he gives a damn - nuf said
Professor Herrle has definitely been the best I've had so far. I've had to take online classes the last few semesters and can honestly say this is one of the FEW online classes I've actually retained some knowledge from. He puts complicated scientific stuff into easy to understand & smaller terms. Very down to earth and helpful... AMAZING.
A nice guy, but a little too pretentious for my taste.
Herrle's a nice enough guy, If you do the work then you'll get the grade. I feel like I could have learned a lot more from him if his class was lecture based rather than discussion based. he get's off topic too easy and doesnt tell people to shut up. It's an easy class though just do the work, you can take each chapter test twice.
Awesome class, online tests you get to take twice, a group project you have all semester to complete. Paul explains everything and always has office time. A great guy and really cares about his students. Fun class. Totally recommend.
He is good teacher.I took the class online.U can take the exam twice but the final require U to do it at any campus (without notes)Paul requires u many times papers to write. If u had many class not recommend him. Have friend took psyche all their exam are take home even midterm and final. No paperwork too.
Mr.Herle was great im a lazy student but he gives you 2 times you can take each online test at home and you have 1 research paper and 1group proj. He gives you 2 extra credit assignments etc... he is very nice and genuine about what he teaches i will definitely recommend someone to take him.
Very good professor. Welcomed student input during lectures which helped with information retention. Some students took the class participation to far by consistently giving life history stories or comments that were not applicable. Online chapter exams were tough. Work load and final exam were very fair and consistent with information taught.
Being a first year college student at the age of 32 this teacher not only made learning easier, he made it fun. My advice, is: show up to class on-time, do the work, and you will do well. His class is interactive so don't be afraid to speak up (you will learn more). I found out that there is no question that you can't ask :) He is awesome!
Prof. Herrle is a great teacher. I took his online class and received an A. Alot of reading but have 2 times to take each test with highest score taken. Final is on campus. Very helpful and had a great layout and information for the students.
By far, Herrle is the best prof. He adds humor to his teachings making it fun and enjoyable. 2 article reviews, chapter exams every other week (online) and a biography of a 'non-white' psychologist. Do the work and participate in lectures.
I'm taking this class online and I highly recommend Herrle. He's intersting, organized & expectations are clear. The tests are exactly what is covered in his PowerPoints and notes so there's no surprises. He provides short video clips to help you grasp hard-to-understand concepts. (Six online tests, 4 article-reviews, 1 paper & 2 on-site tests.)
Very good teacher, funny, and very easy to understand and I would DEFINITELY take his classes again. He made the other online teachers look bad. He is awesome!
He tries to stick to the syllabus as much as possible. Very fair grader. I appreciate he says what he expects out of students from day one and in syllabus. He makes class fun and entertaining. Tests aren't that hard, material is all from the book and his lectures. We need more Herrle's around. Would take his other classes if I have time.
Take this class!! Herrle's class is the best ever. Tests are on line and you can take them twice except the mid term and final. Class is fun, the material is interesting. He is very knowledgeable and will take time to explain something if you don't get it. And he's hot!!!!
I took this online. Great professor. Incredibly helpful. A lot of reading; one chapter a week. Tests every other week on chapters we read. This class is easy if you keep up and take good notes.
This was the greatest class. Everything was super easy to follow and the professor stayed really active with all the students.I would take another class with this professor anytime.
I took this class On-Line and was extremely impressed with the class. He never failed to reply to any of our questions and provided everything you could possibly need to study the course. You have ample time to complete assignments and study for the tests. I would highly recommend this class to anyone.
Love Professor Herrle! Relates concepts to simple ideas that really help you grasp the material. Really nice guy. Oh yeah, and he's HOT, too. ;)
a little too religious for my taste ...but REALLY good professor so it equals out and he forces you to learn, awesome teaching style, i suggest you print the slides before class and there is a lot of open discussion and fair amount of work i highly recommend for any one who wants to learn
Psych and non psych majors will enjoy his class. He delivers the material in a way everyone will understand. Tests are easy as long as you pay attention and read the book. Partner w/others and take tests online. more questions u see, better chance u have on midterm & final. u have 2 chances to take each test except mid and final.
one group papper, two homework assignments the whole sememster, and an online test every couple chapters open book open notes
Awesome guy. Really funny. As long as you do all the assignments, which isnt much, you should do well
Fantastic teacher. Everything is Layed out, took his online course and he was very active online answering questions. Wasn't a teacher that took 2 weeks to answer you. But with all online classes be sure to manage your time, reading those chapters stack up quickly!
Very entertaining class, test were a tad difficult but nothing some good notes wont cure. Take his class!
I took this class online, so I never met the teacher in person, but he turned out to be really a great teacher, and made class fun and interesting. I found actually enjoyed the class and learned quite a bit!
Great teacher! Taking his online class. Very neat and organized. Funny. Work not hard, just need to read book. Test every 2 chapters. 2 minor essays & 1 major. Weekly hw (depending on chapter). Overall great teacher. Would recommend!
He is Awesome! He teaches the material very well & makes class so much fun & interesting! There has NOT been a single day where he hasn't made the class die of laughter, because he is a really outgoing and hilarious professor.
This professor is one of the best of the best.he is funny always and make class very fun I have never skip class because I feel I'm going to miss out my laughter for the day. Best psy teacher ever!!!!!!!!
very funny best psychology teacher have to study to get a good grade for the tests. always an interesting class never boring
Awesome teacher! he knows so much info its not even funny! he could go on and on about somethings and you wouldn't get bored. He is abit loose when it comes to sex and other stuff but other than tha he's the man!
Paul Herrle is an amazing man with extraordinary knowledge and he is willing to share it all with you. He has a great personality and is very funny. He will definitely help you to the best of his ability in what he can. It is definitely worth it to have him as your professor.
best class ever!! &best teacher ever! :] this was my favorite class all semester. hes really funny &the class is not hard at all.
Herrle rocks! Great professor. Makes things simple.
Prof Herrle is very helpful and really seems to enjoy the subject so it makes it fun to learn. There is a lot of info but it is worth your time.
Herrle is a really helpful professor. he puts things very blunt in some cases, and puts psychology in a way everyone can understand. Totally awesome!
Amazing teacher. I took this class online. Book was referenced a TON! But easy as long as you do the reading. One paper all year. About 7 exams or so (each exam is 40 mult choice over two chapeter) Funny and outgoing. Really helpful with responding to emails and such. Great guy. I got an A.
Awesome teacher! extremely helpful and takes time to really clarify any question. class discussions are great & interesting. tests are a little challenging but with studying, you should be fine. fair grader & one re-take per test. MUST TAKE THIS TEACHER! looooved it !
THE BEST PSYCHOLOGY TEACHER EVER! GREAT AT EVERYTHING! HIS 203 CLASS IS SO MUCH FUN. IT IS CSN'S HIDDEN SECRET! THIS CLASS IS ONLY OFFERED IN SPRING. GET TO CLICKIN AND TAKE HERRLE'S 203. YOU WILL LOVE IT! I MEAN IT!
Herrle is everything you want in a professor. He is HILARIOUS, helpful, passionate and inspiring. He has chapter tests, a midterm and final as well as fun homework assignment throughout the semester. Overall, his workload is moderate but makes it feel so easy. Thank you Professor Herrle for giving me such a great experience and passion!
Through the four month course you will do 4 online quizzes, one mid and final term in class which is not accumulative, Two article reviews, one major psychologist research paper of 1000 words, and group presentation within the final week of the class. Overall, he enlighten me about others actions and thoughts. He is definitely funny and relates.
Took his online class. Lots of material including Prof. Herrle's own pp, notes and videos. He makes the class super interesting and responds to emails quickly. 2 exams on campus, 4 exams online, a few articles reviews, etc. He's awesome! I highly recommend him.
Great teacher! Gives you notes ahead of time and has his own powerpoints to help you understand. You take an exam and quizzes every other week plus you do work on a computer disc. 2 Article Reviews and 2 In the News stories along with 2 proctored tests. It's alot of information, but if you study and stay on track you'll do fine! Recommend him!
He is a great teacher. He constantly makes jokes. I loved his class from the beginning. He gives 2 article reviews, 1 four to five page paper, pretests and exams are online, and the midterm and final are in class. He also gives one group project. He curves test. His class is not really hard. You just have to pay attention. Good luck.
Great teacher ans great class. He does a lot to help you out if you ask. Participation is important. You learn a ton in his class BUT depend on the book. A lot of what you talk about in class wont necessarily help you on the tests. READ THE BOOK!
Very easy class. Read one chapter a week. test every other week. Research paper on minority psychologist, two article reviews, and two in the news reviews. You get two chances at each test, and 3 chances at each quiz. EC avaliable if you need it. Midterm and final taken in the testing center. Did not really use the book, just watched the cd.
The class is easy if you take notes, read the chapters, study. There is homework but not overloaded. He is funny and the class is very enjoyable.
Herrle was alright, I guess. Just kidding, he made class something to look forward to! Fun conversations and easy going homework and a group project you have all semester to complete. Unless you have a really good memory, it's not an easy A, you do have to study if you want to pass! But it's an extremely fun class nonetheless. :)
Quiz every other chapter. Tests every 2 chapters. Midterm & Final are on campus. Midterm & final semi difficult - need to know your names, terms and theories well. 2 short "In the News" essay style. 2 longer Article Reviews. 1 paper based on a non old white guy Psychologist. 2 required discussion posts on 2 different chapters.
Paul is a good teacher. He keeps encourage his students to adopt psychology as a profession which seems that he have a real passion for what he does. Unfortunately,psychology is not my cop of tea but I highly recommend him.
Proffessor Herrle is absolutely awesome! He really knows how to connect the information to our lives, which makes it better to understand. Homework isn't bad! Test are online, but final and midterm is in class. He really tries to help students understand in ways the book can't do. If you're taking it for your degree, I honestly recommend him!!
Hands down the best professor at CSN. I've been a student since fall of 2011 and still have yet to find a better all around professor than Herrle! I took two of his classes.. You can not miss out on his classes! TAKE HIM!
Great teacher, open book test and quiz. mammal writing assignments and very forgiving with late work. Great teacher, very interesting class!
Awesome teacher, you feel welcomed and you will definitely look forward to waking up every morning to learn some psychology! It takes dedication of course, he covers 75% of tests in class in order to receive an A one must read! HE IS JUST ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS WHO CARE AND KNOW HOW TO TEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Herrle was a GREAT teacher! I was very excited to wake up and go to class, as I knew that I would always learn something new and interesting, and spend time in a great classroom environment. He was very open to discussion of topics that were brought up, and he did a great job at helping everyone understand anything they needed help with. Thanks!
Herrle is the one of the best in the business. Not only is he pretty hot for an older man, but he is super funny. Class was one of the easiest ever. Class was well worth the money.
Herrle is an amazing prof! Always fun to be in class, he is very knowledgeable in his profession and can interact with students on their levels. You can take exams more than once, to help with midterms and finals, and the group projects are fun! He's pretty fly for a white guy!
DO NOT take this class online. The material is very dry and boring when you are trying to teach yourself. Hes very lenient when it comes to grading and if my schedule wasnt so busy I wouldve much rather taken this class in person.
I took this class online. Easy A if you read the material. Quizzes and chapter tests are open book. The midterm and final you have to take at the testing center. I loved this class and found it to be very interesting, even though I have no interest in psychology. Instructor is quick to post your grades so you know where you stand. Loved him!!
*GREAT* took online. Lots of reading though. 1 chapter a week, exam every other chapter(open book). 7 writing assignments(4 opinion posts, 3 longer papers). Midterm & Final are hard(must take on campus). Good news: Herrle is a very forgiving grader, offers a LOT of extra credit & you can take each quiz/exam twice(best grade kept). Would take again!
Wow, human sexuality was very interesting. Sex is always interesting, but the mechanics behind it and the information gained is invaluable. Herrle puts it out there and in a way that is easy to understand. Listen to the lectures and read the chapters, easy easy easy. Grades on a curve and the tests are ripped from the quizzes. highly recommend.
Took this class online and I wish I would've taken it on campus. Prof Herrle is AWESOME and has a great personality! Since I took the course during summer there was a lot of reading, but all quizzes and exams were open book except for the final which you take on campus. He has lots of video lectures and links to help you along with the web course.
One of my first two teachers since being out of school over 15 years and Prof Herrle was the best. The class is not a cake walk, but is made so much easier by his notes and videos. He was extremely helpful with issues that came up and I would take his classes in a heartbeat. He seems to really care about the success of his students. Take him!!!
He is one great professor! He enjoys his job and explains the material thoroughly. He also isn't the kind of professor who only talks about textbook material the entire time. He breaks off for a few minutes to talk about real life experiences. He is also really easy to pass and you take chapter tests online. I would highly recommend this class!
He is the best Psychology teacher I have ever had, hands down. He's really funny and very clear with the information. He's there for you academically and personally. If you can, TAKE HIM. As long as you come to class, you'll pass, and actually understand the material.
this teacher is awesome and funny!!! such a fun class, enjoyed waking up early to go to his class. He truly wants his students to succeed. Just participate read the chapters study powerpoints,really do the coursemate and youll pass I wish he taught biology lol so I could take him for the next few semesters!! Youll love this class no doubt about it.
Professor Herrle is great. His class is a bit challenging in the sense that you will read the whole text book and finals are on campus with no open notes. You must memorize a lot of in order to do well. Weekly reading and quiz exams. group discussions, article reviews, and one essay (7-10 Pg.) I do recommend!
Mr. Herrle is super fun && easy going. Syllabus is simple && so is the grading. Seriously impossible to fail this class unless you don't go or do the work. Lectures are always interesting && all weekly tests are same questions on midterm && final so they're pretty much study guides. LOVED this class!
He was awesome ! Very helpful!
Great teacher! I would like to take his class again! I learned so much and i was very entertained during ALL his lectures !
Awesome Professor. Makes uncomfortable subjects comical and is very engaged with students.
I took his online class. VERY boring if you take it online, but it's fairly easy. You basically read the chapter, do some exercises online for a few minutes, and do assignments if you have any. Based on other comments, I would suggest to take his class in person as he seems to be a good and entertaining professor.
Herrle is an amazing instructor. His grading is clear, assignments are easy to do, very little homework but when he does assign anything its worth a lot. He accepts late work and his extra credit will save you!!! Quizzes are online, easy. His lectures are fun, big group project at the end. AMAZING when it comes to understanding the students needs.
He's a really great professor and I would take his class again but sometimes he's a little slow on grading so be patient
He is a very upbeat and positive teacher. Encourages free thinking and gives great feedback.
He understands absences, accepts late work, and is always there for you. If you don't study for the midterm/finals they will be hard. He did say/give examples that were politically problematic, which he probably should keep to himself.
If you are looking to obtain knowledge and have a good time take this class you won't regret it.
Prof. Herrle is very passionate about teaching. He is very funny! he gives extra credits to help students get higher grades. His powerpoints and example facts are also very helpful! He is awesome!!
Prof. Herrle is an amazing instructor. His lectures are funny, very informational and you really learn a lot, so I would recommend actually going to class. quizzes and homework's are online but you have to study if you want to get an A in them. he gives extra credit at the end of the year to help your grade. I would recommend him to anyone.
TAKE HIS CLASS!!! Very hilarious, yet informative. Homework is easy. There are discussion posts and a group project. He is a GREAT professor. I am taking another class of his in the future for sure. Don't hesitate. Take his class on campus. His personality is what is truly unique.
Great instructor - very informative and helpful!
Online: It was a lot of work but worth it. Weekly quizzes (10?s, 10pts each); exams every 2 chapters (50?s, 2pts each), a comprehensive final (100?s, 1pt each), 2 InTheNews essays, 2 discussion essays, 2 ArticleReview assignments, 1 research paper. You must at least comment on two other students' InTheNews&Discussion essays. Extra credits galore!
Great Professor!! I took the summer 4 week course and expected it to be pretty tough, but it was fairly easy. He graded very easy and the tests weren't too hard as long as you read. There was a big paper due at the end but it was graded easy. As long as you do the work, you will get an A.
Amazing Professor! I highly recommend taking his class. If you do not understand something, he is more than willing to help you. He is efficient, and very good with the subject! I would absolutely take his class again if I could!
I enjoyed Professor Herrle's class overall. It's time consuming, but not impossible. He is a very fair teacher/grader. Tests every two weeks. Extra credit chances are available at the end of the semester as research papers. He was very good with communicating with his students and keeping us up to date on assignments. Very good class and professor!
Great professor! Really glad I chose him!
Fact: Take his class.
The best professor I've taken in college so far! His lectures are fun and easy to comprehend. Tests are online and not difficult. I would take this class again!
I truly enjoyed being in Professor Herrles Psych 101 class, and I always looked forward for his lectures. Each lecture he teaches makes you think of the world in a different perspective psychologically, and its very interesting. Hes also super funny, and always makes sure to spread positivity. Youll learn so much from him :)
Hurrle is an outstanding teacher. This was one of the easiest classes I had.
One of my fave classes ever! Makes psych easy by always applying it to the real world. I genuinely loved going to class EVERY day. One of the funniest people I have ever met in my entire life! The tests are online except for the final/midterm. 1 research paper, 2 article reviews, a group project, 2 discussions. Attendance part of grade!! TAKE HIM!!
Unfortunately the mid and final exam you have to go to a campus but overall he's a good professor very funny. When getting the textbook I recommend the online textbook you don't have to get the hard copy. STUDY STUDY FOR THE EXAM Don't study it will affect the grade ! But he's a great professor.
AMAZING! all exams online and easy w/ 2 attempts. Midterm/final in person w/ 100 questions. His lectures are super funny and I always looked forward to class. Super understanding and really cares. Offers extra credit. There's a group project with a research paper. I learned so much about sex, the human body, and relationships.
He's all right. Everything I could ask for from a Professor. Extremely hands off, gives you breathing room to learn on your own accord. That being said, the learning is on your own accord.
Did not enjoyed his class and will never take him again.
This professor is not fair when it comes to doing group projects when they the professor ruins your plan when classmates are not always honest of what they going to work. Will never take his class again.
One of my favorite professors. All quizes and exams are online except midterm and final which are only 100 questions. He always makes the lectures fun and entertaining. Would recommend taking his class 100%.
Definitely a professor that will change your perspective for the better. I very much so enjoyed class everyday. Prof. Herrle is a very nice person that cares about his students. If you want an A for this class you have to be constantly reading the text and absorbing his lectures. The only con about this class is the group project.
I took an online class. Feedback is great if you reach out. Requires a LOT of reading.
Awesome online course. Clear grading, you will pass if you participate.
Not very often does one take a professor that actually cares about your learning, but this man does. He's a great person, his lectures are funny, and he makes the subject matter even more interesting. He did have a group project, so watch out for that, but I would highly recommend this man.
This professor is not fair when it comes to doing group projects and when you inform him he runs your plan for completing the work when your team lies, no I rather do it myself. His exams are hard and never respond to emails. Dont care what others say and think. He no good.
Talks a lot so you wont ever be bored in this class, really funny and jokes about everything so if youre sensitive to most jokes dont take the class. He makes everything easy to understand.
He is a really great guy! Funny, relatable, endearing and really know's how to talk to us students! He gives out online tests and his lectures are full of examples that we can relate to! Please take this class.
Professor Herrle is an amazing professor. He takes up all his class time, so don't expect to be let out early. You only have to write two articles about psychology and one essay. He has chapter quizzes-- all available online. He loves participation and he loves conversations with different opinions. I learned a ton and 100% recommend!
His teaching style is amazing and he seems to get along with every student he comes in contact with. He makes the book easy to understand and tries his best to have everyone get a good grade. He's pretty funny and he interacts with the students a lot. There's one group project due by the end of the semester.
Great teacher and easy class if you put in the work. There are chapter exams for every other module. You can take it twice, and he keeps the higher grade. Final exam is proctored.
This Professor goes out of his way to give in depth feedback, he is extremely caring and has given me extra credit opportunities and redo's when I explained how passionate I am about his class. Responds quickly to questions, gives study materials for tests and rounds your test grades up with the class average! Definitely take this professor!!!!!
Hes awesome!! Id love to take his class every semester if I could!! His lectures are super fun and interesting. Hes passionate about his work. Truly cares for his students. Easy online tests and quizzes (except midterm and final). 1 group project throughout the semester. Kind and caring Professor.
THE BEST! If anyone know how to keep a lecture interesting, its professor P. Take him! Seriously will not regret it.
Professor Herrle is a very "Lax" professor, with that being said you are most likely going to be teaching yourself the material. If you don't read the required readings for this course you will fall behind and things can get quite confusing. As long as you put effort into your assignments you will get great marks.
He is amazing teacher. He knows what he is doing. Have all qualities a teacher should have.
Really interesting class.
He's awesome! Do your work and you're all set. I highly recommend taking him!!
He is such a nice and caring professor! His class was interesting and fairly easy for the most part. A few quizzes and exams that were pretty easy, easy discussions as well. The biggest part of this class was a personal growth paper at the end lf the semester, its long but not hard at all. Take his class!! Book is required.
Mr. Herrle is an awesome professor! So, long as you read the textbook, pay attention to the small lectures, watch the videos he posts, and participate in the discussions - you will more than definitely pass his class! This professor has made me love Psy. more.
Great class! He really works with you and values your time.
I've taken 2 of the classes and he is great. His in-person lectures are interesting and fun! Take his class.
I took his summer course and the workload was what youd expect from an 8-week class. Hes a good professor and have heard from others that his in-person classes are fun.
Replied promptly to messages. Syllabus thoroughly explained. Simply just do the work and youll get a decent grade!
Everything is explained clearly on the syllabus He is always reply your email so dont hesitate to send him an email if you do not understand the homework question or textbook information However , you have to put an effort on assignments , quizzed , discussion, big paper at the end of the semester and practice for Final .
Taking a class with Mr. Herrle is A MUST! I seriously learned so much in his class and I actually enjoyed it. He is interactive, kind, funny, and organized. The work is not difficult but you DO have to put in the effort and time. He gives EC, only if you turn in all your assignments. Chapter exams each week. And final was closed book/notes.
This class was great! It was super easy probably the easiest class I've ever had but it still actually teaches you about the subject of the class, personal growth. The biggest thing is a Personal Growth Paper that's just reading the chapters of the text and relating them to your life. This class was spaced out really well too. Plenty of time.
He's overall a good teacher. Just stay on top of the deadlines and u'll be good. Do the chapter reading with the quizzes and the work isn't too hard. But, if you not do the work good luck trying to catch up. There are some discussion boards, honestly the longer ur response is the better grade u'll get. Also, u need to reply to 4 other comments.
Awesome teacher! Great lectures very easy just need to put the work! Recommend him!!!
The professor is amazing, always communicating and accommodating. The only thing is he shares powerpoints that don't really teach much and the test questions are incredibly hard and it seems like they're based on more than the powerpoints. No textbook besides online access to revel, pearson, and quizzes there. Just wish he'd use better materials.
Prof. Herrle is an absolutely amazing professor. His assignments are not only full of useful information but they're also nurturing in a way. If you're planning on going into the Psychology field and are gonna take the introductory 101/102 classes Prof. Herrle is the absolute best choice to go for. Amazing course.
Not bad at all. Mostly reading a chapter a week and taking a quiz. Chapter exams every other week. One paper due. Class was well organized and text was available online. Professor was nice and pretty easy going. A very good class.
This was the most unprofessional and odd professor I’ve ever had. He’s talked explicitly & inappropriately about others including current students. Asked about personal things that had to do with our own sexual & dating lives. Talked down on female students based on answers and his conservative bias is clear in the classroom.
Lectures are amazing and full of humor, Mr. Herrle is also a great guidance outside of the lecture. His classroom is a safe zone. One thing about the class is the quizzes do not match up with the lectures.
hes genuinely my favorite professor. I had an amazing time in his class. im not also super outspoken but with the topics and just his personality it was easy to be able to speak up and share during lectures. I enjoyed hearing "happy Tuesday!" every week. honored to have been in his class. 10/10
Honestly my favorite professor by far. Really caring and engaging in lectures. never boring, and try's to make the most of ever meet.Stay on top of work and class should go by fast. Final grade is group make sure it follows rubric. Learned a lot, would take again.
Learned a lot and I enjoy the class but there was a lot of reading.
Professor Herrle is awesome. He is very responsive when you need help or have questions. This class is very informative and you will succeed only if you read the textbook because all tests/quizzes are based on that reading (except an essay). Would love to take another class of his!
Gives really good lectures that engage and entertain and build interest in psychology. Clearly cares about his students, welcomes participation in class. Decent amount of work, group project, some small papers, weekly quizzes. Not harshly graded.
Mid and final should be taken in person at campuses.
His lectures are incredible. One of the greats at CSN. Mid term and final are taken in class. highly vocab focused. moderate amount of homework, one long essay and group project. Come to class, have fun, and really try to learn his amazing communication of psychology and you might change your major :D.
Professor Herrle is one of the best profs i've had. Super caring and helpful if you are struggling. Workload was never too much, just some quizzes, tests and essays. Definitely manageable and I learned a lot from his course. His midterm and final had to be proctored but didnt weigh much on the final grade. Seriously consider taking him for PSY101!!
I took the 8-week summer course so the workload was heavier but it was doable if you set time aside to complete the work. There is a big paper due at the end of the term that you have to use the concepts learned from 10 of the chapters in your paper, I highly recommend getting started on it asap.
Prof Herrle was amazing! Super easy to contact, great engaging lectures, very professional, and easy to understand. He truly cares about every student. The key to doing well in this class is reading the textbook. Attendance is not mandatory but you will miss out if you don't go to class because the lectures are so interesting and worthwhile.
Professor Herrle's PSY101 class is a must-take. His engaging lectures and genuine care for students make the moderate workload very manageable. Unstuckstudy AI was a helpful study tool alongside the free textbook. Highly recommend this course!
Paul is an amazing professor. Before class, I got into a severe car accident. Within 30secs he descended from the heavens. He lifted my car and ran all the way to campus just so I wouldnt be late to class. Another time, I told him I needed an extension on a project bc my grandma died. Instead of giving the extension, he resuscitated my grandma.
Paul needs to teach more elective psych classes! His human sexuality class was truly an experience! He's funny, caring and honestly the best psych professor on campus!
Wow. Prof. Herrle was one of the best! He is an amazing guy that truly cares about the students in his class. There is an online textbook that you need for the quizzes that come with it. There is anywhere from 1-2 quizzes per week. Some discussion posts but very easy and straightforward. Midterm & final must be taken on campus proctored. GOAT!!
He is a very funny professor, I would take his class again he made every lecture fun and engaging. The assignments are easy if you put effort into them, just study for the quizzes and you'll be fine and get a good score as well. The small lectures my fiancé attended he said he also enjoyed them as well as a guest :3
He flew in the middle of class to show an example….pretty cool also, I needed an extension for my car exploding he actually repaired it in 0.02 seconds just so I could attended his class and turn in the work….
Herrle is an amazing professor, his lectures are always really fun to attend and even though attendance isn't necessary you should go anyway bc he's very insightful (and hilarious). Quizzes every week or 2, chapter exams, and a few papers but honestly not hard at all if you just take the time to read/study the material. Extra credit b4 end of sem!
Mr. Herrle is an overall great teacher who is clear in what he wants. While the work may be difficult, it isn't necessarily long, and can be done within an hour or 2 if you're determined to get it done then and there. Overall a great class if you pay attention and do your work.
Professor Herrle is an amazing professor with a clear goal of helping the students achieve success. I had his PSY101 8 week summer class and it was amazing. Be prepared to read tons and you would have 1 quiz per week. Prepare for the midterm and final.
Took his 6 week Summer class, he was an amazing Professor with a clear goal to help his students succeed. Recommend reading the book and not missing a single Chapter Quiz. Study for the mid term and final exam, but they are only 10% of the overall grade, so don't worry so much about that. Definitely recommend taking his class.
Fun class and professor. As long as you participate, do the work, and put in effort you can get a good grade. In class you talk and relate it back to the chapter. The work is time consuming. As long as you stay on top of it, its not that bad. I would take another class from Professor Herrle. I admire his attitude and his ability to make class fun.
Seems like a great guy! Sad to have taken this class remotely. You gotta take loooots of elaborate notes, and the tests are awful, but if you're a good writer you can bank on your essays hard-carrying you to the finish line.
Was honestly a pretty good professor. Assignments weren't too difficult but some were time consuming. Very heavy lectures. Only one group project, a paper, 2 in class exams and some discussion posts but overall a decent class. He would sometimes make some weird jokes though.
