Take him! He's an amazing professor and makes the most out of every lecture. He always goes out of his way to make sure you completely understand the topics. He is also very quick at grading tests, replying to emails, and easy to talk to. You can tell he really enjoys the subject and takes pride in his job.

Wouldn't take again

I took Professor Chrobak's class after seeing these good reviews. I will NEVER recommed this professor. I was taking 2 classes with him, he clearly said PSY455 is a hard class and you would be lucky if you even get a C. You would only pass his classes if he likes you, or he would take points of on such little things. Skipped one class, and 75/100.

He is a very energetic and respected professor. Just a heads up, his wife died in a tragic car accident and his mother has struggled with alcoholism. He will probably mention this in one of his lectures which does kill the fun uplifting mood he brings to every class. He also doesn't like electronics in class or sleeping. So come energized!

Dr. Chrobak hands out extra credit like candy if you ask REALLY REALLY good questions. One of the best professors I've ever had. He makes learning about complex processes a lot of fun. He really makes you think critically, which is a skill everyone should have. If you haven't taken a Chrobak class, you don't belong in the psych department.

Dr. Chrobak is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He makes lecture fun and interesting, and Psychology is a pretty interesting subject as well. If you answer questions in class, he usually will give out extra credit. However, his tests aren't "easy" by any means so I'd recommend studying a week in advance if you can. Overall, great professor!

Lots of quizzes based off readings/articles/lectures, however he tends to drop at least a score or two. He is one of the toughest professors, but it's worth it.
