Has a bit of a stuttering problem. Likes to use real world examples of his work as a psychologist in class. Kind of stuck on himself, but not in a bad way. The work consisted of two take-home tests, so it was pretty easy. You could do worse.
I agree
Good teacher. Makes class fun. No tests, no quizes, just homework from each chapter. Lots of classwork (such as Myers-Briggs Personality test). Recommend Highly.
I've taken him twice. He's really easy as long as you do his work. It's a lot of writing but nothing too hard. He's very stuck on himself but I thought it was funny. Good guy. Likes to brag about his 30 year old wife. (I think he's like 60)
he is the best. I highly recommend him to anyone. He is funny and every enjoyable.
Ivy is knowledgable but his class is the most broing course!sop1502=group therapy.no homeowrk-assignments-book.simple questions to answer before a class,then EVERYONE discusses and hears his pro. opinion.one is forced to hear everyones boring life story!!
Great teacher. Made something that could have been boring and made it enjoyable. No test, or papers just homework.
Great teacher. Does kind of stutter sometimes and repeats himself a lot and then will say "Did you hear what I just said?" It's kind of funny though. Only 2 takehome tests and some homework, so pretty easy. Not bad looking either for a m
Great Professor! 2 Take home tests open book! Very knowledgeable and you can tell he loves what he does. First hand Psy. stories of real case studies-funny professor,highly recommended to take him if you can get in his class!!!:)
Dr. Ivy was great! It's an easy A!
Dr. Ivy is a GREAT teacher, very Funny. His test and class are both very easy if you put forth a litle effort. I recommend taking him, he's AWESOME! Wonderful personality.
Dr. Ivy is a wealth of knowledge and has a lot to offer his students. Very funny it's a joy to be in his class and I look forward to attending weekly. He involves everyone in the class and with this structure I also learned from other students experiences.
UNBELIEVEABLE class! I wish I could take more of Dr. Ivy's classes. He knows what he's talking about. By the time you're finished with his class, YOU know what he's talking about too! Amazing guy. He cares about the class education-wise, but he also cares about the students, individually. Take him!

very funny guy! tests are time consuming but right from the book. who couldnt love a guy who drives a porch!!! never boring
MAKES CLASS FUN, KEEPS YOUR ATTENTION. HOMEWORK IS EASY, AND TESTS ARE TAKE HOME, LONG. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO ALL.
very easy to pass class, just to take home test and activites every now and then. has great stories to tell
This guy is crazier than his patients, and he really brings to life all the vocab from the book; it's a discussion forum -- no tests! just do the homework and you'll ace the class. love it!!
I really enjoyed the class.He made it such an interesting subject that you end up asking yourself whether you would consider being a psychologist or not.He is so far one of the best teacher I've ever had.I would recommend him to everyone.Don't postpone the exams because they are time consuming.
I had Dr. Ivy for Psychology and found him hilarious. I thought he was one of the best teachers I had ever had. His tests are very in depth but as long as you read the material and take good notes you won't have a problem. I am taking him again over the summer for SOP1002.
Dr. Ivy is a GREAT teacher! I took him for 3 different psychology classes and made A's in all three. I looked forward to and LOVED going to his classes! He is very educated and cares about his students' education as well. I would recommend him to anyone!! I wish he taught more classes that I needed!
Great Teacher and very funny. He has great stories that keep the class interesting and fun, talked about alot of stuff that related to everyone and it keep me coming back every night. Take him again anytime and for any course
Easy A. He is one of the funniest teachers I have ever taken. He makes the class as fun as he can. The class was easy and he never gave us a test. The homework was strait out of the book and easy. He was always weeks behind the sylabis. He is very educated but the class was uneducating. If you want a gimmy A take this class and teacher!
Great teacher, funny, and easy to understand. I am taking him for a third class, so that should let you know whether you should take him or not.
keeps u interested in the class
Funny as****!
Easy A! Doc is so funny. He has an experience to tell for everything the book covers. He is very interesting and funny. Hes crazy and gets distracted easily-but its worth it. Sticks 2 syllabus. Only 2 take home exams & 10 easy activities. Tests are long and take time, but if you dont like in-class tests, this is the class 4 u! Highly Recommended!
it is a great teacher
Dr. Ivy is very funny. His class was mor of a social gathering than a class. What ever you do, don't leave until the very end of class, otherwise he will count you absent, and give you a zero for all the papers you turn in that day. Easy A.
his class is sooooo easy, of course the test are take home, they are kind of long (straight from the book)but you will do fine. take him you wont regret it.
do all assignment;test are take home tests
awesome and very interesting
Favoritism, favoritism, favoritism. If you're a young, blonde, female with a really good push up bra you should do just fine. If not, take another professor.
Taking Dr. Ivy's class has been very inspirational to me. I have learned alot about myself and others in my life. I recommend this course to anyone that is interested in moving further in the field of psychology.
Very good class. Easy if you pay attention and do required work. NO TESTS!. Take this class for useful info. and a GPA booster.
Love the Doc! Great structure, no surprises, sticks to his syllabus. Being a psychologist, he has an excellent grasp of the material and has so much to offer in the way of career ideas in the field. Chronically tardy people and people sensitive about having their names remembered need not apply.
I really enjoyed this class, I was very nervous about taking Psychology, but Dr. Ivy made things very interesting and fun,he has so much information contained inside of him, that its hard for him to just give the basic lesson plans. I will tell you this I am not a blonde nor do I have blue: he give you grades you deserve and earn, its not based on
Dr. Ivy is awesome! His class is very informative, and pretty easy. There were no test, just a homework assignment from the book every week. As long as you attend and do the work, you will get an A regardless of how you look! He does talk a lot though, so be prepared for that!
This guy is hilarious, I had to withdraw, but I will definfetely be takng him again. No homework, two take home tests. Easy A (if you don't withdraw...)
Dr. Ivy lectures well, one of the few professors that can hold my attention while he is speaking. He makes the class enjoyable and I recommend him.
very unusual, first impression is "he's nuts", but he grows on you, and his style keeps you interested. He does favor the cute girls, but he is fair in his grading and activities. you get the feeling that he is not familiar with the texts, his personal knowledge makes up for it though.

Dr Ivy was definetly one of the best professors I've taken.. his class was very very informative even if you arent interested you cant help but pay attention because he is so animated, i will be taking more of his classes ...all in all i loved the class....I GOT AN A!!!!!
funny guy! chances are you might be a little intimidated at first, but u should give him a chance. assignments were applicable to life experiences as well as the text and class was a lot of fun! i left with an "A" and a lot of life-long advice.

He likes himself way more than you will. Don't bother asking questions to delve deeper into the subject. He just wants to talk. It could have been a more interesting class had he been willing to do more than stand up comedy. Reports and assignments are word for word from the book. Use the book and notes word for word and you get an A.
I never know which chapter we would be covering. He did not stick to the syllabus either. There is a lot of wasted time spent talking about no related subjects. He is very clear about what he will test you on. If you take notes you will be good. The book was hardly used. The class was entertaining but not that educational.Don't bother with question
Ivy is funnnny. He's also a good guy and a great teacher. The class skipped around alot, but the tests couldn't be simpler (though they will take you some time). Copy from teh book and notes, and show up....easy A.
he was so easy....better have a laptop or your hands with hurt from all the notes. if you show up you will make an A. his 2 exams are take home but they are time consuming. not essay but long answers (ie discuss, compare) HE IS TONS OF FUN THOUGH. YOU'LL HAVE A GOOD TIME
Dr. Ivy is one of the best teachers ive ever had. I took him awhile back & he is still my #1 recommendation when people ask me who to take. any one who says less has serious problems. This class rocks i took it at night & he kept it fun we all stayed awake!!!
Dr. Ivy is a real trip. At first you think he's really strange, but after you get to know him you begin to realize that he's a genius. I would take any class he is was teaching. Great fun and worth every penny.
Dr. Ivy is the best!He is funny and will keep your attention the whole class. His tests are take home but are lengthy.Be prepared to spend some time on them but they are easy if you take notes.He is helpful, he even helped with a personal issue with my stepson. He cares about his students.I changed my major to psy & signed up for more of DR Ivy!
Dr. Ivey is the best ever! He's class is fun, your test are take hom exams ( which makes you REALLY understanf the material not where you just crame) You have 2 take home exams and a couple small assigments, If you take this class you wont regret it I PROMISE!!!
I would recommend him to anyone. He has alot of notes. He asks you to read the text book, but, it's not required. If you take the notes in class and apply them to the exams(take home and open book) you will pass with an A. He's also a great guy.
Dr Ivy is great!!!!!!! Take his class you won't regret it easy A if you attend class.
Best Class ever! Cool and upstanding psychologist who knows it all. Tells you about his experiences and gives you more information you could possibly want. He is funny and down to earth type of guy. Two exams, some class activites, lecture, a lot of notes and fun. Take the Class!
dr.ivy roxx! just remember to show up on time and follow the mixing of the syllabus!
I think Dr.Ivy is terrific!!! I definately recommend him. The class is easy, but its so interesting and he is one of the most amazingly intelligent people i have met. I know when I will remember his class and the stories he tells for a long time. He teaches you about his real experiences not just the text and I think that is very important.
Dr.Ivy is down to earth. His approach to psychology is fun and easy. SUPERB !!!!!!!!
Awesome! Couldn't wait til next week to go to class! He def puts into perspective n an easy way to understand. Homework assignments every other weekish and 2 take home tests. Tests are easy just follow the guideline and make it easy for him to read, the more info the better. Easy A!
Dr. Ivy is an interesting character, full of information and great charisma. He makes coming to class a pleasure. You can pass the class with an A as long as you show up and do the work. Also, make sure it is very easy for him to read. Follow directions and you will definitely pass.
He loves to talk about him self! Very knowledgeable. Two take home exams. One harder then the other. Go to class, and you'll pass fine.Home work every week.
OMG... He is my favorite professor. He is so smart and funny. He actually makes you want to come to class each week and find out what you are going to talk about next. He is willing to help in any way that he can. You will love him, and you won't regret taking any of his classes!
hard to fail his class as long as you take notes, attend class and pay attention, all tests are take home but are long in length, he has some very funny stories
Likes to talk about himself and his money a lot but overall he's a decent professor. Be ready to take a lot of notes and listen to him yell at you for 4 hours
The only class I ever dreaded going to. Easy easy A but OMG the class drags on. He had the class do powerpoints to teach and you have to listen to people read off a paper for 3.5 hours, VERY BORING
SUPER EASY A! The only thing he requires is you to be there...otherwise super easy class to pass. Gave 5 Assignments and 1 take home test thats was multiple choice and a 8th grade could have taken and passed it with flying colors. HE doesn't really teach much just has students do presentations in class. You don't learn much though about the subject
Prof. Ivy enjoys his work. Tells you about his work every class, repeats himself, powerpoints, activities and 1 take home test, mult choice. Not interesting, but easy. Attendance is Mandatory-you have to be on time and he takes the attendance at end of class!! If you leave early -counted as absent- NOT FAIR!!
Unique teaching style, the majority of his class is based off case studies and real life situations his students may encounter in the Psych and health professions. Coursework and take-home exam are EASY however attendance and punctuality is mandatory. He makes class fun and encourages you to learn and further your education. I would take him again!
One of the best teachers I have ever had. Attendance is mandatory, but majority of final grade comes from take-home multiple choice exam, very easy. I would take one of Dr. Ivy's classes in the future. He clearly has a passion for his subject.
One of the best teacher. Teach you like you are a grown up, not a torture. You'll learn while encouter your other situation. Make class fun to participate.
Professor Ivy is the best! I was thinking about majoring in psychology and now i definitely am! You don't really need textbook, test comes from notes he gives you in class. VERRYYY FUNNY, always has stories to tell you and makes everyone laugh. I would take every psychology class with him!
Took his Psychology class. Funny guy, lots of stories of being in the field. Test was easy.
Great teacher! I enjoyed going to the class. It is not hard, you whole grade depends on 5 short,easy activities and one multiple choice take hhome test at the end. Tell a lot of interesting stories and a nice guy.
Interesting and Fun class. Must attend and stay bcuz attendence is taken at the end of each class. People will always find a reason to whine about attendence and work so dont mind them. Great class overall. 5 homework assignments, inclass discussions from his life exp. FUNNY as H***. Great teaching style. Learned a lil not alot though.No favoritism
Great teacher! One of the best classes I have ever taken. Dr. Ivy has a passion for what he does, and it shows. 5 take home assignments, 1 take home test (you will need the book). Attendance is mandatory, but Dr. Ivy tells great stories so the time goes by fast. I wish all teachers were interesting like him.
This teacher was amazing, very insightful to what he is teaching, and the assignments were fun as hell!
Dr. Ivy is very Passionate about his work. I was fortunate to be in his class for the fall semester Human Relation ISP 1390. The class was great from beginning until end. If you come to class, participate, participate and complete chapter questions; you are sure to pass with an ?A?. Did I mention PARTICIPATE. I highly recommend Dr. Ivy.
It's easy class, but not mush learning, most of the time, students chatting about drug problems. Not an interesting psychology class,but it's really easy, study a little, you might get an A without any effort.
he is great teacher, just use the book along with his lessons. He provides with all the tools to pass. It is college class so you have study and memorize on your own .If you dont learn its your own fault. particpate!!!
If you want to listen to everyone's whole life story in your class, and then listen to him ramble on about random BS, then this is the class for you, A lot of homework too.
I loved his class! I will be taking any class he offers. He fills up fast and there is a reason. He takes plenty of time to guide you through not only the class, but your career goals. He is very personable and funny. Almost 60% of the class were returning students from other classes he had. Take him!
He is a hilarious and loving teacher, who cares about his students. Very easy class, just take good notes, refer to the book, and study and you will be fine. FYI, do not talk in class. lol
Dr. Ivy is a very interesting man. There is a lot of story telling in his classes, but his stories are fun to hear. His class is pretty easy as long as you show up for class, take notes, and do your activities, and study for the test. He is passionate about his subject and has a ton of experience to back it up.
Very interesting teacher. If you go to class and get all notes down and do all of your work you will do just fine. Lots of stories. He has ton of experience. Would definately recommend him. Actually taking him next semester for a different course.
Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful-He is one of the best professors I have ever had he is GREAT and i would recommend him to anyone. Smart, funny and teaches in a way that if you just listen and take some notes you will comprehend. EXCELLENT!
He has an interesting teaching style consists of many anecdotes from his experiences with patients. He lets you know exactly what questions are going to be on the tests. All you have to do is look for the answers in the book and study them. He also has my class do one presentation and a paper on the topic. Very easy and fun class.
Dr. Ivy is a great teacher, no doubt about it. He discusses a lot of his personal stories, which I find very interesting because psychology is my field of study. He does talk a lot. But if you keep up on your studies, and get involved with class discussions, you will be fine.
I really enjoyed this class, however Dr. Ivy seems to waste a lot of time; he'll tell you interesting stories about his patients and things that may loosely relate to the content, but a lot of the time he kind of just rambles on. Very easy. Take notes in class. Very easy and basic material.
Would recommend this professor! He does ramble, however most of his stories are interesting. 2 tests, 5 assignments. Attendance is mandatory. Bring computer, take notes in class, if he offers a study group TAKE IT!! You will only fail this class if you do not do the work or study.
Great professor. Dr. Ivy does like to talk a bit, but I found most of his stories funny. He does explain a lot about psychological behavior, and everything is usually class related. Easy "A". Just make sure you show up to class and do the work. My favorite class so far. :-)
Wonderful Teacher!!! Only class I can pay attention in for the full 3+ hours. I have learned SO much from him. I am taking his other class next semester.
Great professor, interesting man with a ton of experience. Class was never dull and he is also very funny to boot. I plan on taking another course he teaches. Highly recommended!
loved professor ivy, have taken all the classes available at fscj w/ him. only classes i ever passed or attented because he was so good
Excellent professor. Two test and 5 assignments.Attendants is a plus.
HE IS AWESOME TEACHER. HE DOES RAMBLE, HOWEVER HIS STORIES ARE INTERESTING. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS YOUR WORK AND COME TO CLASS. YOU WILL GET AN "A"
As someone who will be going into the field of psychology, I find Dr. Ivy's class very uninformative. We often run out of time (in a 4 hour class) because he will continuously talk about stories from past experiences. They're interesting, but very rarely does he tie them into the information. Easy if you're looking for an A, but lacking substance.
Awesome teacher. Outlines test questions before the test. Gives notes in class. Book really isnt needed. Work load is not bad at all. Take this teacher! His classes fill up fast.
I totally recommend him. He brings great knowledge, experiences and most of all humour in his teaching. While some may think that his story telling is a waste of time, it really isnt. There is valuable information in his stories. If you take notes and pay attention you will do great. He also encourages class participation but expects order.
He is FUNNY, his class is SUPER easy, he tells interesting stories about cases he's dealt with. He GIVES you an outline of EXACTLY what will be on the exams. You have to write 4 essays but they are very easy. He is a little hard to keep up with when he teaches, but the class is so easy it's not too big of a deal. HIGHLY RECOMMEND prof. ivy!
This guy is nuts in a good way. "She was off the chain" When he said that in class I almost died. hahahahah We did presentations all semester only 2 test and a presentation due. with a quick summary of said summary. Everyone basically pasted paragraphs to white slides WACK) any way Take him NOW.. best ever!!!
Professor Ivy is AWESOME. His class is very interesting! You do not need the text book. He gives you specific outline of the tests and 4 simple activites. He is a great teacher with tons of experience. He also offers EC for attendance. Attend class, do activities, and take notes..and you should get an A. I am taking him again!!
Awesome Professor. He knows he stuff. He is very clear and gives you the exact layout. 4 essays with advance notice, and goes over the outline for test. Gives extra credit. You will learn from him. He is funny and I enjoy hearing his stories.
Best Professor! he is very clear - 4 essays and two exams. He gives you the outline. he is the best! Funny guy!
He is awesome! You can't go wrong.
Awesome Professor! He is funny. He is very clear. Gives you the blueprint on whats on the test. 4 essay's 2 exams. Love his stories.
He is great at he is teaching. I would totally recommend future students to take his class for psychology.
Professor Ivy is great! This class was very stress-free for me. The entire semester the class did PPT presentations. Your entire grade consists of 2 tests (which he gives you the parameters of what to expect on each question), PPT presentation, and summary/essay of your PPT. Very easy class! I can't wait to take PSY1012 w/ him! I made an A!
The reason you are on this website is to find a teacher who is easy to make a good grade from. If you were brilliant it wouldn't matter what teacher you got because your going to get an A anyways. TRUST ME. Dr. Ivy is the perfect teacher to make good grades in if you do the minimal work he asks you to do
Very friendly, likes to talk about his field. Very helpful.
Dr Ivy is a really nice guy. Hes funny and has many great stories. These stories can sometime take away from lecture time but because he gives you the parameters for the tests beforehand its fairly elementary to score well on them. Take Dr. Ivy, you won't regret it.
Dr. Ivy was an awesome hilarious individual, whom I wouldn't mind taking his Human Growth & Developemwnt class next semester. He shared lots of stories related to the course which made it very interesting.
GREAT HILLARIOUS FABULOUS TEACHER ALL AROUND
Great teacher ! Very clear & interesting lectures.
One of the best profesor I ever had
Fun class and easy work.
GREAT professor! Interesting lectures.
Professor Ivy is the best! Teaching is his passion! I've taken pretty much all of the classes that he teaches. There are only 2 exams (he gives you the parameters on what is on every question), 4 activities, and if you have perfect attendance you'll get 10 extra credit points. This class was very stress-free and fun. Take him you won't regret it :)
great professor loved his lectures and easiest class I've ever taken had i not been lazy probably would have got 100
Could have been a bit nicer and more sensitive (since, you know, this IS psychology...) but it's not difficult at all. He made us stay the entire 3 hours and talked mostly about his patients (isn't that confidential?) Actual learning material was like 20 minutes max..
He's laid back, clear about what he wants from the class. Tells you up front what is assigned in the syllabus, (and follows the syllabus) He is passionate about his work and shows it throughout the semester. Hilarious with great stories, and most importantly, do the work when it is assigned and come to class, easy A.
Just an amazing professor!! There are no test!! Great great great!!
Dr. Ivy's class was an easy A. I took a hybrid class. We had two exams that didn't weigh much for our overall score. On top of that he told us exactly what was going to be on the test. He rambles a bit, but tells interesting stories. I'd definitely take him again.
Funny Funny Funny
very very like him, easy A. Even thought his lecture is long, it is funny. He is funny and not tough at all. If you attend his every class hours, you will get extra points. I would def take his class again.
He really works with the students
I absolutely LOVE professor Ivy. He makes class fun and i honestly look forward to going to class just to hear what funny story's he was going to tell. Great Professor he wants students to succeed . 5 short assignments (easy) and 2 test. He is great, take him if you can!
By far the best professor I have ever had. This guy makes you understand the material without even having to open a book. As in, do not get one for this class, it's a waste of money. Go to class and take notes, you will get an A. Will walk you through the semester if you participate. Only two tests and he basically gives you the answers.
Dr. Ivy's class was not only fun, but super informative. He gets side tracked on stories quite a bit, but they always have relevance to the topic and are always highly entertaining. You'll have a presentation and several assignments, but he'll work with you if you need help. The mid-term and final are pretty easy too as he provides a study guide.
Professor Ivy is one of the best professors I would take his class again if I had too. He only gave us 4 papers and 2 tests and they are super easy.
Dr. Ivy is awesome. He is very clear in the beginning of the class that in order to pass, you just have to do you assigned work. He assigned a few assignments and we had one exam. He does like to tell a lot of stories but at the end they all relate to the topic. He also give extra credit for attendance.
I took Dr. Ivy for a DEP2004 hybrid class. He said the textbook was necessary but we never opened it. He tells lots of stories and he is absolutely hilarious. 4 assignments are due throughout the semester, all of which are submitted through BlackBoard at home. They are all pretty easy and he is a very lenient grader. Loved his personality!
Dr. Ivy is one of the finest educators I have met. In a time were teaching vocations are becoming scarce, he combines humor with psychological expertise.
Really cares about his students. Loves this field and teaching. If you go, pay attention, take his lecture notes, show you tried, and write a decent paper, there's no reason you shouldn't be able get an A on his tests & assignments, and the class. He's wonderful! So fun!
Dr Ivy is hilarious he has so many stories to tell but they are related to the class. Do the work and take notes you should with an A. He partially gives you the answers for exams. Please take him you will enjoy this class he makes its very interesting. 4 papers 2 exams 1 presentation . We barely use the textbook.
Doctor Ivy is very entertaining! He cares about his students and seems to really enjoy teaching. He has lots of stories and responds really well to feedback. He wants you to be involved in the discussions. I would definitely take again!
He is funny at first it seems like he doesn't know what he is talking about but then later you see that he was actually making sense in his lectures. The class is a hybrid class: in class and online.
Dr. Ivy is an amazing professor. His class was very enjoyable. I learned very much about psychology in his class and the work load was not very bad either. I highly recommend his class to anyone.
THE BEST GUY EVER. very inspiring and keeps it interesting. He's a very funny man, and a lot of the class seems to adore him. He is willing to help you out, and is very understanding if you have to go to work and can't show up. He even is really cool if you have to bring your kid to sit with you. Makes class anything but boring. very easy and fun.
Literally stopped showing up the last three weeks, still got an A. He talks A LOT! But you don't need the book like at all because his tests (which he only had 4 for the whole semester) are online and come from his power points. He rambles but its somewhat interesting, and he allows computers. Very against drugs though.
I did not think this class had a great learning environment. In my experience, the use of bad language, the digging into the personal lives of the students, the lack of structure in content, and the neglect of other sources of information besides lectures made this class difficult for me.
Hilarious, but he does not stay on topic. He has a ton of field experience so he shares stories . The course material was interesting and I wanted to learn about it, so it was annoying when he wasted half a class on stories. It is fun and an extremely easy A. He negotiates on grades if you are unhappy. 8 DB, 4 easy assignments, 2tests-well prepped
Dr. Ivy is one of the best professors I ever had. He does go off topic sometimes, but he is absolutely brilliant, ridiculously intelligent and knows his stuff. He's a bit abrasive and scattered brained but, just show up, do the assignments and participate and it will be the easiest A you ever get.
Amazing instructor! Took him for General Psychology and he is very understanding with grading and will answer any questions no matter what time of the day. Book wasn't mandatory but helped. Expected to be in class as there were graded "surprise activities" and you cant make those up if you miss class.
Me. Ivy is a great teacher and really funny. He explains everything to you very well and will work with you. I took the 7 week class and he only gave us five homework assignments and two test. I would take this class over again
Professor Ivy is one of the best professors I've had. He cares about his students. He does go off subject often. A lot of the work is based off of his experience. He does "surprise in class activities" so being in class is pretty important, along with being on time. He helps you in anyway he can and he is super easy to get ahold of out of class.
Dr. Ivy will forever be one of my favorite professors! He cares about his students and is very passionate about his work. Class work includes power points. There are in class activities which are apart of your grade so be in class. You have 1 discussion board every week along with some other work. Take notes and you'll pass exams. TAKE HIM!
If you need DEP2004/PSY 1012 TAKE DR. IVY! Have to show up but if you let him know in advance if you can't be there, he will work with you. I love his class! He talks about his work most of the lecture but it ties into what we're learning. There are NO surprises, no projects or presentations for his C7 session. Quizzes, 2 exams, 5 discussions in BB
This professor is great!! Show up and participate is all you need to do. Had some online quizzes and two online tests that we very well prepares you for! You literally have to try not to pass, to not pass his class. I'm taking him next semester for Psychology, he has the same grade criteria and teaching method for both.
Awesome professor! Easy Grader, he will keep you engaged with his lectures. He is so funny. Hes understanding. You cannot fail this class. You can call him to discuss anything. Two exams and he prepares you for them. Easy In and out of class activities each week. You have to participate. He makes class fun. Im going to take his psychology class
I took the hybrid class with Ivy, he gave us 5 outside of class activities, 5 discussions, and 5 "surprise acts" to do in class. Some of the surprise acts are group projects. Ivy has ADHD, so he tends to go off on tangents sometimes, but NOTES ARE YOUR FRIEND. Pay attention if and when he tells you to write stuff down. It's exactly what you need.
Dr. Ivy was a great teacher. He only had about 15 assignments total and they are super easy. NOTES ARE YOUR FRIEND. As long as you show up to class and listen then you'll do great. Great personality, always has a story to tell.
If you want to learn psychology take this professor! Very entertaining, makes learning fun, and has the best stories. You do a in class activity every class thats easy, and then you have two assignments you do at home that are due the day of class 12am. There are two exams that you take at home and one he reviews before the exam.
Dr. Ivy was a fantastic teacher. I really enjoyed the subject matter and wish that I took a longer class (my class was only 7 weeks). Dr. Ivy was very engaging, even at 8AM on Saturday morning. His teaching style keeps you listening and active in the class. If you need PSY1012, take his class!
Dr. Ivy is a great professor. Class is always interesting and never a dull moment. He has a great ability to teach and make it fun all at the same time. If you do all of your work and participate you wont have any issues.
has a great way to connect with his students and is very motivating
Enjoyed taking this class
Dr. Ivy can often get off topic in discussions but the stories he tells you will stick with you. Class will be almost always be fun and interesting in some way due to his teaching style. You will not be graded on many assignments but as long as you do them you will pass.
Dr. Ivy is hands down one of my favorite teachers yet. His lectures are fun and informative and he's a pretty funny guy. If the opportunity presents itself I will most definitely take another one of his classes.
Hands down best Prof Ive ever taken , genuinely cares about students. Had him for Psyc, he also teaches Human Growth and Development, take either one , You wont regret it!
Amazing professor! One of the favorite teachers so far. His lectures are fun, you cannot fail this class and he will never fail any student who takes his class, super easy assignments, and easy grader. I 100% recommend taking this class with no regret super easy "A".
He's not bad. He knows exactly what he's talking about, just be patient and pay attention. Class is very easy to pass, Just show up and participate. Not many tests I believe there was about 3 or 4 the whole semester but you go over them before Very easy to get in contact with. you'll pass.
Dr. Ivy is seriously the best professor I have had. His lectures are informative, and he makes it almost impossible to fail. He lives for participation (especially if it is an online class with lecture) so make sure you have a mic or a way to speak. Great sense of humor, good material, and quick grading/responses.
I love Dr Ivy he is a good teacher I took him twice one for general psychology and the other one for human growth and development The classes are ran the exact same way Open book on exams AND ONLY TWO exams in his 7 weeks class. He makes his classes fun and interesting I suggest you to take him Easy A as long as you do what he asked
Dr. Ivy is a wonderful professor to have. I learned a lot of new things from him. The assignments were very clear and somewhat easy to do. I would highly recommend people to take Dr. Ivy's classes.
I absolutely loves this Professor! I work fulltime military, am a mom of 3 kids 2 under 2, and I take fulltime classes. Easy class if you pay attention. Very reliable individual and the classes were fun. I took this class all online and would highly recommend!
Ive taken this professor twice now his psy1012 class and dep2004. Both classes were easy to pass and he gives very thorough lectures and it helps you a lot throughout the course. Theres an outside class activity,in class activity , and a discussion post due every week by 11:59 pm when your class meets .loved his class and learned a lot ,reccomend!
Dr. Ivy was, bar far, the best professor I have ever had during my time at FSCJ. He is very funny, class was always interesting & it was a pleasure to learn from him. If you're on the fence about who you'd like to learn from, you will not regret choosing him. I would recommend him to everyone. Only wish there was more classes he taught that I need
One of the top professors at FSCJ. He will engage the class with lectures that stick with you. You will understand the material. If you pay attention, you pass the class. In the regular semester the work was spaced nicely so you were not bogged down and the assignments were clear. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR
Take this class! Dr. Ivy is great with his lectures as he involves the whole class and truly explains all of the topics covered and how they relate to the real world. His assignments are easily completed and there are only 2 tests which he gives a guideline for. Dr. Ivy has a lot of experience that he brings to the class as well. Sign up now.
Dr. Ivy runs his class in the fun way. He can get everyone to participate in the class very well. I really enjoy it.
This professor is really passionate and knows his stuff. Hes an actual so psychologist so he gives great, relatable input. Show up to class, do assignments and participate and you will be fine.
Professor Ivy is a very caring and understanding professor. He is willing to help out even after class hours if you are having difficulty understanding a subject. The way that he implement real life examples to his lecture makes them easier to understand and more enjoyable. Highly recommend Prof. Ivy!
Professor Dr. Robert Ivy gives interesting lectures. His class was will be beneficial for business or personal. He is polished in sociology and phyco. Dr. Robert Ivy Replies to messages swiftly. He also provides a comfortable learning environment that creates a classroom which enable students to be their self. Participate, Do assignments, and PASS!
Definitely one of my favorite professors EVER. 100% recommend taking any of his classes, he's great.
Just do your work and all will be well. Lectures are long, but useful and entertaining. If you participate in his class lecture and engage with him the time in lecture goes quickly. Notes are useful and tests are based on lectures mostly. It is very hard to fail this class.
Dr. Ivy is the BEST psychology professor! He is funny, he loves his students and his lectures are always very interesting. He wants you to participate in class and to do your papers in time. He puts a lot of power points which will help you a lot. There are only two exams and he gives you a guide paper for that! EASY and FUNNY! Take him!!!!
I never leave reviews but had to for Dr Ivy bc he is great, I looked at his previous reviews and debated on taking a Saturday class, totally worth it!! I made a 100 in the class because he tells you exactly what you need to learn to succeed and as long as you do the hw it is an easy A bc he genuinely wants you to succeed and makes class fun.
Dr. Ivy is the best Professor. Nobody will care for students as Dr. Ivy does. He is funny and make class interesting and not boring. He knows how to give the right information and he always explains everything clearly. I would highly recommend Dr. Ivy.
Dr. Ivy has a very strong personality, and can come across as a bit gruff at first, but he's actually very passionate and funny. His lectures are interesting and he includes tons of real life stories to illustrate. He includes a study guide for each exam, and is an easy grader for written work.
Dr. Ivy is an amazing professor! I took him during summer, it was a Saturday class and lasted about 3 hours. He made the time fly by, he tells many interesting stories and his class is very entertaining. He makes it impossible to fail! There are only 2 exams and he gives you everything you need to pass. Dr. Ivy is someone I would take again!!!
Doctor Ivy makes the class fun, he has a great sense of humor and his lectures are very interesting. He gives everyday life examples and helps you view them in a different light. His classes are easy to manage and he's always available whenever needed. He is quick to respond and genuinely cares about your success. Must see for yourself!
Awesome experience and a great teacher
Extremely caring, understanding, knowledgeable, and very respectful. He is a very hilarious person as well. We do use the textbook for assignments; however, his assignments are not super difficult and he gives you everything you need to succeed. Dr. Ivy is such an awesome professor I would take any class he offers! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Great class. Easy A if you show up and follow rubric. Weekly online class attendance mandatory. Dr. Ivy is funny and likes to hear from students. Cannot work ahead. 1 discussion post, and 2 other assignments due weekly. 2 tests. I would take this professor again.
Professor Ivy is a GREAT at his profession, Respects the students & is very open in conversations & provides great feedback. Prepares thoroughly before a quiz comes up, lectures are very interesting. For a class to be on a Saturday 9am-12 noon, it doesn't seem long at all because he, always have great relatable situations that you can use.
I don't think I had a good experience in his class. We met once a week for seven weeks, and the assignments were 300 word papers and a Canvas discussion every week, straightforward. He shouts a lot and I'd walk out with hurt ears. His lectures weren't very intelligent. I wish he discussed APA format and graded immediately instead of the last week.
Dr. Ivy was a great professor always made class fun and enjoyable. He knew how to teach and keep the class interesting by involving real situations and letting us speak about our own experiences that also had to corollate with the lesson. If I could I would definitely take his class again :)
Very easy grader. One of the few classes I looked forward to attending, especially for a Saturday class! 2 easy assignments due every week and 2 unmonitored exams. Dr. Ivy has a ton of crazy & cool stories to tell and knows how to engage his students. I wish he taught more classes. Just do your work and the class is an easy A!
Dr. Ivy is a great professor. Most of the class time is spent on lecture and generally go over discussion posts or out of class activity completed prior to class, total of 5 discussion posts where you also respond to other students. 5 out of class activities and 5 in class activities. 2 Exams in the class. Very enjoyable class, would take again.
Loved Dr. Ivy, by far my favorite professor. His class was engaging and fun! All of my classmates felt the same way, somehow we felt like a big family by the end of the semester. Doc expects you to show up, participate and do your work, he even does a test review before the test which helped us immensely! Pick him for psychology!!!!!!
Highly recommend taking Dr. Ivy, he is amazing. You will not get bored in his class at all. He is very active and appreciates lively open communication in class. This was a hybrid attendance one day a week we met in class the remainder online.
Show up do your work and laugh.
This Professor is amazing he is funny and I would definitely take him again.
Good stories lots of laughs loud but overall a great professor I would take his classes again, learned a lot.
Dr.Ivy is a great professor, he uses references from the text book as well as his own personal experiences. The work was very easy and was discussed during each class meeting. I would take his class again.
He is a great professor. Make sure you keep up on the outside of class work/activities because once its closed that's it.
Professor Ivy is hilarious. He make lecture entertaining and easy to understand.
Great professor Work is easy Just about the whole class recieved an A Show up and interact
I think what I liked most about his class was that the grades are earned via points and not percentage. If you do decide to have his class, which I recommend because the topics are super interesting, you won't regret it !! 5/5
I made the mistake of choosing the 90 minute class instead of the other options he had available considering his class was extremely interesting. His lectures came off his own experience in the field, if there would be one thing I'd change to the class it would have to be including more in-class group projects rather then in-class writing.
Easy to communicate with outside of class. Made lectures interesting with personal experiences, photos and tone.
He talks about his life and help everyone.
Doc Ivy was awesome! Easy class as long as you do the work. Lectures were fun, and very interesting/entertaining as he talks about his current and past experiences. If you enjoy learning in a non structured way such as death by PowerPoint and reading out of the book then this is the class for you.
Hands down the best Professor here at fscj really funny tells the most interesting stories and easy going assignments this class is a great to take it during a 7 week course because of how well Ivy structures the class and some of the assignments are very easy to do highly recommended.
Awsome and caring teacher.
Dr.Ivy is was very down to Earth and easy.
Dr. Ivy is the BEST! Please take this class in person. He is an amazing professor. I'm trying to see how to take a class with him again because his lectures are the best.
Was actually the best college prof I've had yet, no exaggeration. HIGHLY recommend that you take his class in person. He's very funny, finds a way to include everyone during discussions, and goes on so many interesting side tangents that are still related to the actual topic. Not to mention he kept my attention span which is nearly impossible.
This was the best class I've ever taken! Doc has super fun classes and great stories! The work and test dates have clear deadlines and every lecture is never boring. There is not much work and we had 2 tests. I took his 12-week course.
Doc Ivy's class is the best class I've taken so far. His class is always interesting and he tells us all kinds of stories about things he has experienced! The work has clear deadlines and is easy to do, we had 2 exams, and discussion boards are easy. I highly suggest you take his course! He also jokes a lot and keeps the class energetic
Professor Ivy's class was so fun to take! He uses his experiences and ties them in into his lectures and his stories are also fun to listen to. He may talk too much but always gives us time to finish whatever handout he's given us.
Professory Ivy is a genuine person in and out of class discussion. He made class extremely fun and entertaining which helped retain the chapters we were currently studying. 100% recommend any class he teaches.
Professor Ivy's class is a must-take! He makes lectures engaging with personal stories and keeps the workload manageable. Combining Unstuck Study AI with the textbook made prep a breeze - highly recommend this class!
Really good teacher, the class is refreshing and interactive as long as you follow instruction/ pay attention.
Caring and kind. He understands you better than anyone and he is a mentor that is there for you no matter what. Easy assignments and homework where you could focus on learning versus rushing to get work done. You won't regret taking his class!
Professor Ivy is an incredibly knowledgeable and engaging educator. His sense of humor and ability to make the class consistently interesting are truly remarkable. His exceptional memory never ceased to amaze! He's easy going, very friendly, and an super inspiring presence, making the learning experience both enjoyable and memorable.
The professor teaches clearly and organizes material in an easy-to-follow way. Their engaging style helps students understand complex topics quickly.
Professor Ivy is one of the most caring and supportive instructors I have had. His instructions are clear and detailed, making it easy to understand what is expected. Participate, complete all assignments and you will pass this class. I highly recommend this prof. to any student looking for an instructor who will invest in their learning journey.
Professor Ivy, is the best professor that i ever had. He explain everything very good and make sure that understand everything. He really love his students and make sure that they get a great grade. I recommend Dr Ivy 1000%
Dr. Ivey is a great professor, funny, understanding, and always open to student feedback. His class was easy to follow, and he used real-world issues to help us understand the material. He cares about his students and creates a positive learning environment. Even in a night class, I was never bored, especially with guest speakers like Alana.
The professor is highly professional and presents material in a clear, organized manner. Their engaging teaching style, use of examples, and willingness to answer questions make complex concepts easy to understand.
Doc was an extremely helpful and straightforward Professor. Very relatable and entertaining, made the material very easy to understand, and the discussions were engaging. Would definitely take this class again if needed.
