This was his first time teaching Educational Psychology, and I don't think he really enjoyed it as much as his regular Intro. to Psych. classes.

Dr. Ray is awesome! He has a lot of experience in the field so his lectures are interesting. His essays were easy 100's. His quizzes were easy too and he reuses all of his questions for the final, so pay attention to them when he goes over the quizzes in class!!
