The best professor i've had. He's a great teacher and keeps things very interesting. DEFINITELY worth taking one of his classes.
Seems like a nice guy, No paper, gives a quiz every week about ten questions you have to know the text book, the midterm and final are killers the midterm 7 chapters over, not an easy A, you have to study and do work if you have time for that do it but if not Drop him before it's too late, I wish someone warned me
Hes a very helpful teacher and he explains everything well. He really goes out of his way to make sure EVERYONE understands everything. He gives little quizes for each chapter (multiple choice). You will have to stufy a bit, but usually he explains everything in class.
dont take him! he is the worst kind but when you see your of proffesor! he acts all nice all year but when you see your grade it sucks because he fools you thinking everything is ok and then screws you up! he also takes test everyweek so you cant miss any classes and the freaking midterm and final are as hard as they can get.. 100 questions each
Really nice guy, best professor I have had so far. Tough class, must be willing to do the work, come every class but he is a very fair grader. He makes the class very entertaining and funny, barely any notes, will go completely off topic, just as long as he feels your learning something. If you dont mind doing some work hes great
Awesome! Take him!
Very smart man. Psychologist and lawyer, damn. Class isn't very easy, you really have to work for your grade but he's very clear, helpful and nice. Quizzes, midterm and final are tricky, STUDY YOUR QUIZZES! Take him if you can and if you're a good student, really enjoyable class and man.
Professor Meyers will blow. your. mind. Your brain needs gyration. Your brain needs Social psychology with this man.
okay, so aside from him being so handsome, he's an awesome awesome guy with an awesome personality. Good humor, and as long as you keep up with readings and go to class, you'll do fine in the class. You haveto have an interest in learning though, not just another college class. take him! best professor i've had so far
Extremely charismatic man. The class is very entertaining and fun! Do not wait until the last minute to study, gives quizes every class which will be on final and midterm. Tests aren't insanely hard, but dont expect to just get an A without studying.
Very intelligent, but you NEEEED to work for your grade. For some reason, everyone had a hard time passing tests. I believe it was because he never let us keep quizzes to study from. FUN CLASS. You'll learn alot about psych in general. Don't take if you're not up for reading the textbook though. That would make it difficult.
Awesome professor - not too bad to look at either. Helpful. Funny. Smart. Easty to talk to. I took 2 or 3 of classes; definitely lost count. Would love to have him again. A class where you must earn your grade.
Dr. Meyers is awesome! Tough class - you need to do the work. But he is clear, knows his stuff, funny and seriously cares about his students. I learned more in is class than in all others - combined. Wish I had taken more of his classes.
Hardest class i ever took - but definitely the best! It was a great experience. Prof Meyers is tough but an excellent professor.
Despite the fact that this was possibly one of the hardest classes I took as a freshman it was also the most rewarding class I have ever been part of. This class was an experience and I highly recommend it. He really is awesome
Wonderful teacher. Very difficult, and can be a little demanding, but it's definitely worth the work. Classes are interesting and informative, just make sure you attend and show up on time!
best professor ive ever had. hard class, but work hard and you will get the grade you want, along with real knowledge. Dr. Meyers is super smart, and keeps class interesting, very honest and funny, def a must take.
Professor Meyers has changed my way of thikning. He is the best professor I have ever had. Yes the work load is a bit more than what we are used to, but you get SO MUCH out of his classes. You would be stupid not to take his class just based off the low "easiness" level. But if you're lazy then dont waste his time...have fun going nowhere in life.
Difficult course but Dr. Meyers is by far the best professor I ever had. Not an easy A but you will definitely learn ALOT. I've taken more than one course with Dr. Meyers - he is awesome.
Informative professor who knows what he's talking about, but can make very crude jokes and remarks that can be taken the wrong way. Make sure to TAKE the plagiarism test before the first class and be prepared for a quiz every week. Also do not use your phone or bring your laptop. You'll regret that decision when he throws you out.
Best professor I have EVER had. Difficult but you really learn. Truly a real college course. Dr. Meyers rocks.
An absolute pleasure to be in his class. I never skipped and never wanted to. I ended with an A- but learned more about Forensic Psych than I ever expected to. Extremely personable and approachable.
Meyers is full of knowledge and a comedian. Class is always engaging because it's not just a boring lecture. Usually gives a quiz once a week that isn't too difficult. Only had a midterm and final on top of that. Not really easy to know what grade you have until the end. Not the easiest class, but definitely interesting. Take for psych definitely.
Dr Meyers is awesome! You will learn more from him than any other class. He spent 3 classes discussing how we are surrounded by racism without even know it and what we can do to stop it. Hard class - need to do the work but its worth it.
Best class ever! Dr. Meyers is the greatest. My grade wasn't so great but I never learned so much.
He is awesome! You will learn a ton in his class. I even kept my notes for the future. Gives quizzes every week, (99% of material straight from slides) This guy has done everything, listen to him. Has an afterclass club which is full of discussion. Get involved in class and you may get an amazing recommendation letter. 1 midterm 1 final and 1 paper
Awesome professor. DO NOT USE YOUR PHONE OR EAT IN CLASS, he will ask you to leave. This is the only class i dont mind waking up for even when im hungover. You need to work in his class, but its really interesting. Pop quizzes almost every week, TAKE HIM! OH& it doesnt hurt that hes kind of hot !
He's an awesome professor. If you have the chance to take him do it! He's extremely helpful and makes class interesting. He gives quizzes at the end of the chapter but gives the exact same questions on the midterm and final. Not the easiest class but you will definitely learn a lot.
I absolutely love Dr.Meyers. I took him for Social Psychology and Forensic Psychology. He taught me so much. The class isn't easy if you don't work hard and follow directions. I wish he taught more Psych. classes. As long as you pay attention, come to class, study, and participate you'll do well. He's also really funny so that helps! (:
He's sort like of an actor, role playing by himself every illustrations, which sometimes are criminal cases he had in the past. what do you know, he's also a TV show host. I love his presenting style. Take his class, learn a tons from it, and take advantage of all his experiences and wisdom. he sounds intimidating in the syllabus but he's not!
Very interesting class and awesome professor. However, you cannot be a lazy student. You must read text book prior to class and be prepared for "pop quizzes" . Also make sure to read the syllabus before the first day of class or you will be sorry .
Overall interesting course. However, there are times when i felt like i was in law school...Also, you have to be on top of everything yourself...he will never remind you of deadlines & the sort. He's not the most lenient person so watch out
Gives a quiz at the end of every chapter covered in class. :)
I feel as though this is by far the best course I've had at St John's. Every class I learned so many new things. I actually enjoyed coming to this class because I knew that I would learning new and interesting material every meeting. Not only did I learn in this class but what I did learn sticks with me. It' not just in one ear and out the other.
Did not get what I expected out of this class. A huge chunk of all the test questions where on trials that occured in history. He incorporated his law background into this course A LOT. I honestly do not know what all the hype is about. i would not take a class with this professor again.
Best professor ever! Took him for this and soc psych. I learned more in his classes than in all my other classes. Tough but nice and knows his stuff. He definitely has prepared me for grad school.
Best professor I had at St johns. He is challenging but its worht it. Take him!
You must take Dr. Meyers before graduating . I took him for soc psych too. Awesome professor! He will make you work for your grade but it is worth the experience. He is funny, smart and helpful but you have to follow his directions or else. Don't even think about using your cellphone in class! I would have definitely taken more classes with him.
Awesome professor!
The worst professor I have ever had. Does not clarify on what he wants in papers, just goes back and forth. Does not remind you of assignments so better look over the syllabus in depth. Undermines your work and unnecessary comments and language. Do not take him if you are looking for a professor that will teach and encourage you as a student.
I took this class and at first i loved it. Dr. Meyers is a very smart and interesting professor, makes you feel very comfortable in class, but doesn't tolerate a mistake at all, very strict rules and if he believe that one of his rules are broken he will penalize you to the extreme causing damage to your grades. He doesn't give you a chance at all.
Best professor EVER! Took him as a grad (2X) and Undergrad (3X). Smart, funny, cares about his students. I learned how to succeed as a student and in life after school with him. Tough but fair. Prepare to learn!
Dr. Meyers is one of the best professors at St. John's University, and he's only an adjunct. Having said that, make sure you are willing to dedicate all your time to this course, and then some. I've never felt so stressed out in my entire life. I'm a straight A student and I got a D on the midterm. Hardest semester of my life
Good teacher but wants students to abide by syllabus which is 26 pgs long, must read BEFORE the class starts to know what you are suppose to do & make sure that you read it more than once. NO help!Very arrogant & doesn't answer questions directly feels like you should already know but can relate to subject. Ruined class for me will not take again
He puts on a very enthusiastic show while he is lecturing the class, but that is about it. He will be very comical and say a bunch of stories to make you laugh however your grade will be the only laughing matter at the end. Youve been warned. He really makes you think class will be a breeze but his exams will be horrendous and kill your GPA.
Dr. Meyers is probably the best professor at St. John's. He expects a lot from his students and makes us work hard but he also makes us do our best. Definetly not like any other professor I've ever had. Took him for social too - wish he taught more courses.
Awesome! He'll teach you things that will change your life. Expects a lot but is able to get his students to do their real best. Took dr. Meyers for forensic too.
Hardest Professor i ever took! Very Very confusing, and no help at all
Dr. Meyers really cares about his stiudents. Funny, smart, intersting. Be prepared to work though - he's tough but fair.
Very interesting class. Dr Meyers expects alot from his students so you have to work to do well but he is funny, smart and will help you if you are serious about being a student. No phones aloowed during class.
Dr Meyers is one of the best professors. He wants everyone to do their best. You have to really know your stuff to do well but if you follow the directions and study the materials you should do ok. Wish he would teach more courses - i learned a lot in his classes.
Dr. Meyers is passionate about what he teaches and really cares about his students. He expects alot but you will learn alot too. He doesn't allow cellphones in class which I guess is a good thing. He certainly made me aware of things I never I even thought of before.
By far the best professor I've had! He's passionate about what he's teaching & inspires students to want to learn again! Sstudy after EVERY CLASS!! The exams are challenging bc you have to actually know the info! Don't be late & DONT be on your phone! There are lots of rules for his class but you wont regret taking him! & he's actually really cool!
We all don't have the same opinion about this professor, but I'll give my feed back because it may help some students in choosing their class. This is an awesome class with a bad professor, he doesn't help you and believes that everyone should understand everything he says. No one should have a question about it! If you do prepared to be offended.
Best teacher I've had in college. Took him for soc psych too. Tough but fair. Cares about his students. His after class club is amazing.
Dr. Meyers is the best professor I've had. He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed. You learn alot - but you have to put in the effort! Great lecturer - funny, jammed packed with info and he makes you actually think about the materials and real life. Would take him again if I hadn't already for forensic.
The best. Take him!
Dr. Meyers is awesome. He expects alot but you learn alot. The afeter class club is great. No phones allowed in class.
Best professor i ever had. You have ot work for your grade but its worth it.
Learned more in Dr. Meyers class than all of my classes together. Definitely taking him again for social.
Honestly, wasn't a fan at first. NO electronic use and seemingly strict. But he's very passionate about the topics, experienced and genuinely enjoys being in class making people laugh and participate. Attendance matters but never homework/papers. HOWEVER he purposely words things on tests to be tricky, most of the class failed the 1st test SO STUDY
Honestly hardest professor I ever had! it doesn't even matter if you keep up with the reading the tests don't reflect that even if he tells you it does! DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!
Best professor I've had in 3 years here. FInally felt like I got my moneys worth. Definitely taking him for soc psych.
Best! Best! Best! You have to do the work but he makes you really learn. I learned more in this class than any other and not just about the course topics. Took him for social psychology, too. And the after class club is amazing.
Dr. meyers wants us to really learn. His class is difficult but it is definitely worth it! He is funny, smargt and really cares about his students.
I learned more in Dr. Meyers classes than any other class I've taken. He is definitely the best professor here. I took him for forensic psych also. And the After Class Club.
Great professor. Definitely learned alot. He tells you on the first day what to expect. You just have keep up with the readings and classnotes. No phones.
Great class. Dr. Meyers will make you think about things you never thought of before. I learned more in this course than any other. A lot of work but worth it.
I never had a professor like Dr. Meyers before. He is tough but he cares about his students and is an amazing teacher. You learn so much!
I never had a professor like Dr. Meyers before! He teaches so many things and I learned so much. He is strict about phones in class (throws people out for using them) but it actually makes class better. You have to really study the materials - I failed the midterm but did well on the final. Dr. Meyers classes are a must take!
Dr. Meyers tells you exactly what he expects on the first day and how to do it. Its more work than other classes but he really prepares you and you learn alot. No phones allowed but his lectures are great so I never really wanted to be in my phone. Definitely will take him again and the after class club is amazing.
Dr. Meyers is the best professor I have ever had. Be prepared to work but be prepared to learn. I feel ready for graduate school now after taking his class - no other class made me feel that way. If I didn't graduate I would have taken social with him too. Go to the after class club - great experience! Thanks, Dr. Meyers!
Dr. Meyers' is a great professor. He makes us do the work and try and our best. His classes are definitely not the usual - at least not at this school. I worked hard for my grade but I learned a lot. He really cares about his students. I wish he taught more courses.
Dr. Meyers is a great professor. He is very organized with his power points and you want him to know your name so be sure to participate! HOWEVER, if you're lazy and aren't willing to work hard for a good grade you will fail. If you don not read you will fail. Be sure to take great detailed notes. NO LAPTOPS OR PHONES IN CLASS. He's great tho lol
Best professor. I wish he taught more .
Dr. Meyers is like no other professor you will ever have. His class is challenging, and extremely demanding. You will most likely walk out with a decent grade, but will have to work your behind off to get it. That being said, his lectures made every second worth it. I promise you it will be an experience you never forget.
He was one of the best professors I've had at SJU! While it was very hard and I didn't get the grade I would have liked, I still would take the class again! He is very helpful and was even willing to help me with a situation which was unrelated to school. He is very respectful of students situations and looks to make the class reflective of that.
One of the best professors I've ever had! If you do not care about your work, do not take this course. This is not an "easy A," and you can not "skate by." That being said, it was one of the most rewarding experiences I have had as a student.
Best prof! Take him!
LOVE-THIS-MAN!
Dr. Meyers is the best! He made me work hard to do my best. Great teacher!
Dr. Meyers pushes us to do our best - his class is not the usual, you have to really work for your grade but its worth it! You'll learn more with Dr. Meyers that in any other class. No phones allowed (bit it actually makes class better).
Dr. Meyers makes you work for your grade but its worth it. I learned more in his class than in any other class. He doesnlt allow phones but that actually works well. He knows his stuff and cares about his students. I will definitely take him for social.
Caring is another description I would add. I am a senior (age related) that registered for this class as an auditor. In all the years I spent in school, from grade school through college, I never had a teacher like Professor Meyers. He made learning so interesting, exciting and so much fun. I would register for any course that he taught.
Dr. Meyers is the best! He's tough but you'll learn more from him than any other professor. He makes us experience the materials - not just read about them or listen to some boring lecture off a powerpoint. He really cares about his students. I hope he teaches more courses and is always there for us. We love you Dr. Meyers!
He is a great professor. Makes class interesting and fun however he only gives two exams and they are ridiculously hard. Honestly I've never seen anything like these test. Just save your GPA and take someone else. He's also very arrogant and crazy about cell phones going off in class. Worked my ass off and still got a C.
Dr. Meyers is the best professor at SJU. Only two tests but he tells you that on the first day of class, gives examples of the questions types and tips about studying. I failed the midterm but then followed his advise and got a B-. Dr. Meyers lectures are great - I never learned so much. I signed up for Social Psych in the fall.
Dr. Meyers IS the best. You'll never have a professor like him - his classes are life changing. I took him for Forensic too. You will never learn so much about the subjects and about life. Tough class but a MUST. No phones allowed and only two tests but he tells you that from day one. TAKE HIM!!!
One of my favorite professors at SJU. Dr. Meyers tells you on the first day exactly what he expects of you and what you should expect for the semester. His lectures consist of slides on the screen but he doesn't just read off of them. I actually looked forward to going to his class. DEFINITELY take his class if you can.
