A very strange guy, Repeats himself A LOT! Presents material well.
Very strange, but enjoyed this class
No Comments
Great Professor! He's really funny!
He is probably one of the worst professors I have ever had. He repeats himself over and over again, can't answer questions clearly and his lectures suck. Sleep through class, study the WebCT study guides and you'll ace every test.
strange but funny...do the online review and online quizzes and its easy...go to class and do the blue papers or you are screwed
do the study guides and you'll get an A
Sometimes he's interesting, sometimes he'snot. Hard-Never
Dr. Fry is the only teacher i've ever had that i actually enjoyed going to class. he is very interesting, and VERY CLEAR---he makes sure you understand the material
I love being in his class. He isn't afraid to act goofy in order for you to learn. No tricks, study what he tells you to and you will do fine.
this guy is hillarious
Very interesting...study the practice sheets and thats all there is to it.
Funny and intereting. Made Psych interesting.
EASY... follow the WebCT quizzes and study guides. Guaranteed at least an A or B. He is also hilarious!
Fun class, easy material, just follow the study guides and you'll ace the class!
Super fun class. He's funny and keeps your attention easily. Study studyguides on WebCT before the test and you'll be fine. Highly reccomended.
haha- funny guy and a *snappy dresser* tests are all based off study guides and web ct quizzes
Don't waste your time by going to class. Do the study guide, look it over, show up for tests. Guaranteed A.
Fun dude. Tests werent' hard, unless you didn't study. Go to class at least once a week because he collects work sheets out of the text, it helps tremendously.

If you want an A you'll have to go to class to turn in the blue sheets. But, if you'll take a B, don't bother going. Read the chapters, and do the quizzes before you take the tests. You'll ace the tests and won't need the blue sheets to pull up your grade.
Plays favorites. If you are young girl or a brown noser, you can be a favorite. If you are neither, he is still easy, but harder on you.
he's hilarious
funny guy but just needed to shut up and teach sometimeS!
Dr. Fry is hilarious and still manages to teach the material. He included the class in his lectures and makes you want to participate, and how can you not love a teacher who gives you a study guide with 95% of the test info on it?
very easy, very scary when he is mad and yells, but overall kinda cute in a mature man way
Forced us to carry our books to class every day on the odd chance we'd rip-out an ungraded 'assignment'! You JERK! We all wasted $85 on a book that was used to track our attendance and can't be resold. Six-Foot-Four-Hunka-Hunka-Burning-CRAP! Useless union-labor profs like this are making our degrees cost WAY more while being worth WAY less.
stay away, stay very far away
You must go to class to get notes (and homework) and buy the workbook him and his buds made (avg$50). If you go to class and study the book you will get an A.
Summer 06. I sat through a 3 hour class with him. Yes you'll get stuck with his book. Can't do anything about it. Make sure to do those worksheets becasue they'll help you out a little. 3 tests multiple choice. Make sure you look over the practice questions online because he does put them on the test word for word. He is a very weird but nice. (B)
Take this prof!!!! He is a good psych prof and if you actually show up and do the hw you will pass!!!
Useless, you don't get anything out of the class, everything you learn is from the textbook. He goes over everything so many times it makes you sick, and you learn about the same concepts for a week. His study guide helps but only on about 1/3 of the test, and his tests are WAY too long. Avoid him if you can, a waste of time.
He's crazy, but the class is easy. He's a funny guy, but not always in the good way. The tests are mostly off of the study guides, so just study those and if you choose not to go to class, make sure you know when the homework assignments are due.
AMAZING....funny guy...good teacher...all u have to do is study his test printouts on web ct and the quizes for the chapter on web ct...must use the book but and i go just to see him cause he is hilarious
Not easy to get close to, not easy to talk to. Taught right from the book, easy. Tests right from the book, also. All you have to do is study to get an "A" on his tests and in the class.
Good class. tends to being confusing during lectures. he'll begin to explain something, but not tell you exactly what he is explaining. funny guy. definately kept me awake. if you do the hw, and fill out and memorize the review tests, your guaranteed an A.
Dr. Fry has worked hard to make the review questions reflect the test questions so ... Do the assignments,memorize the review question answers,then do the quizzes. What you get on the quiz is indicative of what you're going to get on the test. If you want an "A" make sure you're getting all the review and quiz questions right.
Teaches right from the book, entertaining but you don't even have to pay attention in class to get a good grade. He lets you know exactly what you need to know for the test, and he's a really nice guy.
Funny guy. Grade consists of 4 tests, homework and summaries or lab experiments. The book is a $90 workbook which you cannot sell back because you turn in pages for homework. Homework is just a completion grade. There are online quizzes to help study for test, THE SAME QUESTIONS ARE ON TEST. Gives the study guides at beginning of semester. TAKE HIM
this guy is a wierdo and he is not a snappy dresser found his course challenging but u need to go to the online quizzes and memorize them for the tests because the exact questions are on the tests
intro back in 07 mmmmmkayyy you will still pass if you do not go to class...i like him lol
this guy is weird and hilarious. people who don't have a sense of humor probably won't enjoy this class. the tests are pretty easy and basically a replica of the study guide.
He was funny and explain the material clearly. His tests were basically the same as the study guide and online quizzes. Easy pass but didn't learn much because he was far behind his schedule and the material he didn't have time to teach will still be on the tests.
I never attended class and got an A. Do review sheets and take practice quizzes online. The practice quizzes are actual test questions from tests. He's very funny. I would love to take another class with him.
Dr. Fry is by far one of my favorite professors! He has an awesome sense of humor, and his tests are fairly easy. You DO need the book for this class, but you only need it for the workbook and studying purposes. I would definitely take another one of his classes!
I attended frequently (educational). I fail to study and turn in homework, but passed without struggle. He makes it possible for students to surpass.
Oh my goodness this man was such a perv! But overall he's a pretty good professor. He grades on a curve which is wonderful but you still need to study ALOT even if your an "A"/"B" student like myself.
Worksheets in the book must be turned in so you can't return your book at the end of the semester. 3 short summaries or experiments must be done. (very easy) tests are right off the study guide and online quizzes. weird sense of humor - def entertaining. curves make class very passable.
As long as you fill out your study guide, you're GOLD. EVERY question is on the guide and on-line quizzes. Easy A with very little work.
As long as you do the study guides and the practice quizzes on the website you will be fine. Definitely an easy A.
He's great! He makes the class fun. Very easy to understand. If you do the practice tests, you'll pass the tests.
Class is very easy. Textbook is required (you turn in workbook pages from it). As long as you do his study guides and online quizzes, it will be an easy A.
funny and sarcastic or at least tries to be and kinda clueless
Tests are the same questions that he has on the review sheets..Going to class is pointless boring lectures and have to look up the info in the book anyway
He's great! He is hilarious! He makes his lectures fun! His tests are exactly like the practice questions. I loved him! Take him!!
Loved this class. Dr. Fry is very clear in his teaching. He reviews previous information at the beginning of class. Book is necessary. If you do the homework, attend class, do the practice quizes on Blackboard, and the test practice sheet you will do well.
Dr. Fry is an excellent professor. He is very funny and makes class interesting. Attendance is not required. Just do the study guides that are posted on line and its an easy A. Do the homework too. I went to class 5 times and got an A. I always bothered him during office hours. He is a really nice guy and makes class interesting if you decide to go
Interesting professor. Good lectures. Lots of material covered well. Assignments well paced and fair.
Dr. Fry is a funny guy who obviously loves what he does. His tests are easy because he gives lots of practice reviews and practice quizzes, and almost all material is covered in class. You do have to buy the book new because the homework comes from there. You also must either do 3 summaries or participate in 3 experiments by the end of the semester
Great teacher. Very helpful and funny
Honestly, I find Psychology to be incredibly boring, but this professor definitely made the class bearable. Very nice guy, very strong sense of humor and absolutely loves what he does. Grades on a very strong scale, and understands not everyone is in to psych. Wouldn't take it with anyone else. Tests are just like the online practices.
his lectures are extremely boring. the study guide for his tests are impossible. and only gives one change for extra credit.
Took this class online. There are a lot of assignments that you have to keep up on and you have to read and study the chapters for the tests they are not hard but not easy either. If you keep up with all the work it will be easy! Got a B!
Dr. Fry is awesome! He is very funny I had him for gen psych and abnormal and those were my two favorite classes at ysu. You should go to class or at least follow the syllabus because it's easy to get behind and lost.
so easy his tests are exactly like the study guide and practice tests online, you HAVE to read the book to understand, he is pretty funny, i didnt like going to lecture but he made it fun
he way he words his tests make the quetions so confusing. I studied so much for his tests and still only get C's. He doesn't teach everything that is going to be on the test.
Entertaining guy and never a dull moment in class. Posts every exam study guides on BB. Basically the test but the multiple Q answers are not on it.Bad thing: he doesn't help you get the correct answer so you never know if you are correct or not.Could really hurt you on test day.Gives notes on PowerPoints but unnecessary. 3 EX, one non cumul. final
He is a good professor. I rarely went to his lectures and easily got an A. The subject matter of general psychology is so simple it is ridiculous. I do not understand how anyone does poorly in his course.
Should be an easy course for anyone who takes it, most everyone I know ended up with a A. I only attended a few lectures & still came out with a B. Textbook is necessary as the homework pages are found in them (basically a workbook). Pretty lenient as far as tests go, and he provides a lot of resources for you to do well.
The material in class does not match up with study guide.
He gives study guides that are very similar to the test. As long as you do the study guide and the assignments you will pass. He does make you buy the book new because you have to do assignment out of it and rip them out.
Dr. Fry is a great professor! His class was easy as long as you did the homework, experiments (easy), and studied for the test. He is crazy and funny! He knows what he is talking about and keeps class interesting! Make sure to follow your study guides, they are very helpful for the tests! Also the online quizezs help! Would take him again!
Gives interesting lectures.
I took Dr. Fry because my friend recommended him. I am sincerely glad that I did. Attend class or enjoy reading hundreds of pages. Easy choice, right? I would still recommend to read though. Gives you online test reviews and assessments, which are extremely helpful and is very kind of him.
Dr. Fry is a reasonable professor, but his lectures are incredibly boring. He reads off of his PP presentations and doesn't really incorporate any sort of fun material in his class. I showed up to his class only for exams and to turn in graded material and still walked away from the course with a B.
The tests are tough but if you READ the assigned chapters and answer every question on the studyguide, you can get an A on the test. You'll get about 75% of the information you need from lecture, but 100% from the book. Attendance is not mandatory, but Dr. Fry does try to make lectures fun and silly.
Funniest ever.
Hilarious. Easy if you just do your assignments, doesn't assign a whole lot. Tests are all multiple choice and every question is on the study guide basically.
He will definitely hold your interest. Makes lectures fun and less torturous. Take advantage of extra credit. He assigns homework but it's fairly easy and all he cares about is if it's done or not. Take advantage of study guides and practice quizzes and you'll be fine.
Dr. Fry is amazing, he is funny and energetic in lecture and keeps you engaged. The tests are challenging only if you don't study. All of the material is covered in class and on the study guide. Show up to class, do the study guide and the practice assessments and you will do fine.
Professor Fry was generally interested in what he was teaching. Overall, the class was super easy in my opinion. He handed us a study guide that was literally the test , so study that and you're set. He took test grades out of the highest points a student got. Easy class overall, just show up and take notes and you're fine.
Very funny amd unsderstanding. He does use the book (he wrote) and his notes are on slides which he does not put on black board!! You will need to attend class for notes. He has many studying reasources for students. His class is amazing and always a good laugh from him
He is hilarious, his tests are a breeze as long as you do the study guide. Its word for word, oh and take his practice tests on blackboard. You'll find the same questions on the tests. Homework is every few weeks and it isn't much. Never showed up to his class except to turn in hw. He is a great teacher though. Easy A.
Dr Fry was my all time favorite professor. He kept me interested at all times and was so funny and nice. His class is very easy if you put in some effort. I enjoyed this class very much!
Dr. Fry is a great guy. He was very understanding. There is homework assignments but nothing major. Be sure to take the quizzes on blackboard you will find the same questions when you take your exams. A little difficult but if you put the time in you should be fine.
Fry is a decent guy but he requires a $120 workbook that he co-authored, not a book. He requires you to rip out the pages and turn them in as assignments. This reduces the retail value to $20. He is honest enough to tell you during class that if money is an issue, find another course.
Dr. Fry was a fantastic professor! He is very interested in what he is talking about and is always in a great mood. I took the online quizzes and assessments before each test and mostly studied those by making a quizlet for each quiz/assessment and got As on every test. HW is only 5 points but easy, its checked for completion. Take him if you can
I loved rick! He is so funny and makes it enjoyable to read. Everyone always complains about him but if you just study and do what he says you're guaranteed a good grade!
Pretty great teacher. Worthwhile to take.
You will pass for sure if you complete the study guide and study it! Easy grader with homework.
The most boring class ever. He needs to put the notes online and let people skip.
His lectures can be boring if the class does not participate. He has an interesting sense of humor, but personally I enjoyed every minute of it! His exams are easy as long as you pay attention during the lectures, take notes and study the textbook.
