not a mean guy, but extremely dry and boring. teaches pretty good but if you have to take him take him online. Alot of students fall asleep in class! He makes the minutes feel like hours.
Ok if u want an easy A take him. He outlines the whole book for u all u do is print it out. I founs myself barely going to class. If pys is your major don't take him. Only 3 tests. No papers or midterms. And the final u take if u missed 1 of the 3 test
Easy teacher, ok guy, but class is so boring
Very boring, nice man. His tests are hard.
TAKE THIS TEACHER ON LINE. so easy !! as long as u write something he gives you a 100. take on line i took abnormal and general on line and got A's and didnt even have to go to class. thats the way to go~!!!.. online!
Excellent prof.
a little boring, but info was interesting. tests easy as long as you read his notes.
this guy is the best he gives you his 57 paged notes and you print them out he goes over them ..if you read the notes like 3 times youll get an A.he lets you drop ur lowest grade. i liked him good teacher ....
I took this class on-line and was a very easy class. U only need to study for the midterm and final exam which are all in the lectures notes.
I took this guy for General Psy and Abnormal Psy. Easy A! Just look over notes. Final Exam is optional, as long as you take the first 3 tests!
Easiest professor alive. If you fail this class, shoot yourself.
I had him for PSY 101.He's a cool guy, but I'm surprised I didn't shoot myself; he was boring. Everyday he said "Ok let's do this 'just for fun'"..sounding like George Bush Sr. when he said "no new taxes"..haha...His tests are not too
I took him for PSY 101 on-line very easy class he was very helpful.
best prof. and he was the reason I chose to continue for my psychology major.I recomend him to everyone but don't take advantage of the easiness, if you look at the style of teaching, it makes sense and you are not to busy writing down every note.
I did the 5 week online course. IT was very fast paced but he is very clear as to what is expected of you and when things are due.
Boring...just print his notes and show up late..enjoy your coffee...no home work just extra credit...i wouldnt take his course unless i have no other choice. psy-101 is interesting and a bit difficult depends on how much ground u r covering and how easy is ur professor.
Easy A, Just go to class Study his Notes and take the first 3 test, so u dont have to take the final. Test are easy, just study his hand outs! Loved the easy A, not a bad guy either!
HIS TESTS ARE TOUGH OTHERWISE HE IS FINE.
if you listen him carefully, he isn't boring. He gives alot of inresting information about the subject.Memorize the study guide,you can easily get an A.You don't have to buy the book
so this guy just reads but hes really nice and i actually learn in class. good stuff!
Exams (very hard), Lecture notes (can't understand, he doesn't know how to use MS word!), helpful? no!
You will spend less time and learn more in his online class. All the importand material is in his note. 90/100 of exam questions come from his note. You will easily get an A if you study his note and hand the homework on time. There is only 2 exams. A+++++++++++++++++++++and 100000000 stars.
Wiater is a nice professor..he's easy if you pay attention during class and print out the notes from the website he gives you.anyone one can easily pass this class!!
His lect r boring n test hard but if u complete his x-tra credits n read his boring notes not forgeting the internet quizes u will get an "A" Just read and u will do alright.
he is reasonable and a great online instructor as his demands of busy work is not out of the norm.
I LKED HIM ALOT HE IS VERY BORING BUT HE IS NICE AND HIS TEST ARENT HARD AS LONG AS YOU STUDY AND GET THE ONLINE REVIEW I WOULD TAKE HIM AGAIN
he is very good I would definally take him again his test are not hard if you read his web notes you'll get an A for this course guaranted;)
All you have to do is read his notes on the website and you'll pass. Tests are easy...Just read!!!!Everything on the test is taken word for word from his notes. His teaching is very easy to follow. Nice guy. Highly recommended.
easy class as long as you dont take him first thing in the morning.(if your not a morning person) Just study hard and he gives you a lot of x-tra credit to do well. Enjoyable class learned a lot.
Took the class on-line in the summer, no extra credit. Prof is very stern in his grading system. You must pass midterm and final to pass class regaurdless if you pass all of the many assignments. Tough grader!!! (But I passed thank God)
Very easy, just read the notes and the test questions are there. If you don't get an A rethink higher education
VERY EASY! His test come right from his lecture notes just read the notes and you will DEF get a good grade. He may be boring but he is easy, very nice and easygoing as well.
No Comments
very good teacher. easy.
he is a great teacher his tests come from the lecture notes if uou study you'll def get an A
He is very easy. As long as you get the notes and just study them you'll get an A.
This teacher is easy....if you study the notes that he prepares for the class you will get an easy A. Even though he is easy you will still manage to learn something.
He is scary at times when he gazes at you but overall he is easy as long as you study his study guides which are 30 pages long for each chapter. Good luck!
i took this onlne. This class is very easy. Its important that you study his notes and you'll be fine with the midterm and final exam. Very easy grader 4 essay, 4 class discussions, gives you easy 100 just by participating. Highly recommended.
This Mr Rogers lookalike is the most boring guy I ever met! I was really looking forward to this class but it was nothing like I expected. Your entire grade depends on 4 tests, theres no hw so theres chance to up ur grade and he refuses extra credit. He lectures everyday from a 120 paged study guide that he makes you print out, I learned nothing!
People this class is not easy. Do the DAM extra credit which he gives out in the beginning of the semester (please do it, it will help u big time) There are 4 test with 50 multiple choices, drop the lowest grade. And he curves BIG TIMES IF U PARTICIPATE IN CLASS!!! I must say this class was not easy at all,I study my got dam brian off to pass
very easy, well organized. Understanding. Read the book and study the notes he provides and you'll do fine.
SO frickin' BORING ! speaks monotone & definitely looks and acts like mr. rogers. you learn absolutely nothing. horrible, horrible, horrible !
I took this class on-line and if you do the work he will give you a good grade. You must study all the notes for the tests in order to do well. I will take him again on line for psy 102...
very smart man...kinda boring...tests are easy, all multiple choice...no book and no need to take notes...just print up study guide and study and you willg get an A...you dont have to show up...only reason i went is cause i had a hot ass girl next to me =)
LOVE HIM! He's fair, and nice and a really good teacher
took his online class..WELL STRUCTURED!..5 discussions, 4 "mini research papers", 3 current event articles he chooses..plenty of time b/n assignments&grades well if u show u put in effort!..final&midterm are proctored but he gives u notes on every chapter..BOTHS TEST R EXACTLY FROM THE NOTES just memorize the notes..i really enjoyed this class
a very boring teacher, talks in monotone and it makes u want to fall asleep, its very hard to understand anything because all he does it read. and the tests are extreemly hard
Awesome online class! Easy grader, easy assignments & discussions! Gives you 100's easily, just follow the instructions. Proctored midterm & final. Gives 10 questions free at the end of lecture notes that show up on the exam word-for-word. Read & understand the notes a couple of times & you'll get an A! You don't need the book just the notes.Easy A
His class is really easy. Just go to class. If you are tired, you can even sleep. ^^ He gives same tests every semester and every semester someone must have the answers already before taking tests. If you have a hard time to study for the tests, ask someone in the class who have the answers! ^^ real easy A
He was a really understanding teacher, not a jerk like many out there. I never used my textbook once, just brought the notes. The tests were semi difficult but easy if you reviewed the material. I enjoyed the class.
Professor Wiater is the easiest professor I've ever had. There's no use of the book, just notes you print out. His tests are word for word from his notes, and the one essay he makes you write is also straight from his notes. I enjoyed his class and would recommend him to everyone!
very nice guy.. knows what he is talking about 3/4 tests are mandatory.. material isn't too hard if u study,.. he'll help you.. nice guy overall l
I took his summer online class. Really easy grader, no use for book, everything is on notes he provides. He gives sample questions which were word for word on the actual test. 4 short esssays, 3 current events, and 5 discussions in 4 week period, so busy work for only 4 week class, but very easy!
Took his class online. Really, really, really easy. Got 100 on every single assignment besides the first. 4 reaction reports, 3 current events essays and 5 class discussions. Midterm and final are both directly off his notes, no need for the book. Really easy A and the material is interesting also.
WORST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD . . I RATED HIM BEFORE I TOOK HIM AND I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE COULD THINK HE IS A GOOD TEACH . . IF YOU WANT TO FAIL TAKE HIM!
Took the online class - very well structured - 5 discussions, 4 reaction papers, 3 current events, 2 exams. Provides excellent lecture notes - exams are straight from notes. Schedule of assignments is given in advance. It was a very well run and organized online class. Very easy if you study the lecture notes.
Took his class on line and loved it. Taking him again. Very organized and clear requirements. No tricks on tests. The best psychology professor. Very easy and interesting too.
He is intelligent and fair.
i love this professor!! he's the best. i love psychology and he's very good at teaching it. this is my first semester taking his class and i have another one with him next semester, i can't wait!
THIS PROFESSOR IS THE BEST! HE'S VERY UNDERSTANDING AND HELPS EXPLAIN ANYTHING YOU NEED HELP WITH. HE'S VERY FAIR AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HIS CLASS =]
super nice professor. offers plenty of extra credit, explains slowly and clearly. boring at times but recommended! no book, he outlines it for you!
I Love this professor! He is such a good grader. He curves every single test. If you get an 82 he will give you an A. You do not need the textbook. He has an outline. Every test question is on his outline. I do not want to leave his class :(
i had him 3 semesters in a row... for general psych, abnormal, & developmental ..he's pretty easy...& rly nice, he gives extra credit which helps alot!! :)
He's really flexible with hybrid class. Gives you the option of taking it as a full online course. The work is easy with a bit of research and the tests are easy as long as you study the review guide. This class was an easy A for me, would definetly recommend it.
easy class if you like to study on your own. His lecture are hard to understand,but if you read the text book for yourself,and study his lectures for the exams you shall be fine.
I am in his developmental psych class right now. All of the assignments are pretty easy, and he is a fair grader. Im on the online class, so there are only two tests which is the midterm and final. He gives a review but only a week in advance. You have to find the answers to the questions, and some answers i cant find in the book.
Hybrid class: the class itself wasn't very interesting and his jokes are sometimes kinda cheesy but he is very very consistent. Everything in the test is either in the book or powerpoint so the only way you could possible fail was if you didn't look at the powerpoint.
i took this class as an online course. good discussions, midterm and final are taken at school..very difficult, but study and it wont be so bad. he's consistent and reminds you of what is due and when the due date it...i recommend this class!
took him for hybrid abnormal psych. honestly one of the sweetest professors i've had.he makes coming to class optional, and he is a VERY easy grader when it comes to assignments. just keep up with the work on moodle and you're guaranteed an A.
Took an online class, very easy going teacher. Dr Wiater made it easy to follow the work on moodle and was fair with the testing. As long as review is studied, and you are comfortable with the material easy grade.
Great professor. I enjoyed his class even though it was once a week. He keeps it interesting with videos on the slideshows. If you study his reviews, his tests are easy. Overall, he's a very nice guy and tries his best to teach others as much as he knows about this course. I would definitely recommend taking him.
I took his online class and would for sure take another. His instructions are very clear and it was easy to get a good grade. Just do what he asks and you'll get an A. It was easy, but I also learned a lot.
Take him and you won't regret. Easy to deal with
This professor gets a "two thumbs up" from me. He is a very simple and self-explanatory type of professor. He gives you all the assignments (explained clearly and thoroughly on the syllabus) and tells you the due dates and grading scale for each assignment. Very easy and smooth online class if you do what you're supposed to do. Great class!!
such an easy class, but I feel like I didn't learn much :/
I took him for abnormal psychology and intro to psychology. I'd take him again if I could! I learned so much in his class. All the work is beneficial to you and relevant to the class. Nice guy, fun course. I would definitely recommend! His online discussions weren't bad either; some online professors have grueling discussions but his were fun.
VERY clear from day one, everything is outlined and repeated in the syllabus and in reminders. Always promptly responded to emails. The lectures were ALL informative for the test but I enjoyed the class genuinely. Gives options for test taking and gives feedback. I read the lectures, took notes, and skimmed the text and Got A's Highly recommended!
I took psy-101 online. It was really easy. Overlook the syllabus so you have your assignments in his preferred format. Hes a very fair grader. My lowest grade was 80 because i didnt follow his format. The rest were all 100's. You dont have to know much about psychology for assignments. Midterm and final are directly from his lectures.
Very organized. Clear syllabus. All the material & due dates are given to you ahead of time. Discussion topics are interesting & the work load amount is fair. Took him as an online class for psy 101 and developmental psych.. would take him again if I could. You have to be really lazy to fail. Submit everything on time & in format & you'll do good!
Literally best class I've ever taken. If you need to take a psychology course take him! He's amazing and such a good professor. The whole semester is outlined for you so you can prepare ahead of time. Everything's from his lectures, so as long as you do the review for the midterm and final and write the essays in his format you'll pass the class!
everything on powerpoints in class, no book, great teacher, had a few absences, didn't affect grade. knows his stuff!. a bit mature but that gray hair and beard o_o wow. i'd take class again
discussions every week, 3 reaction papers, 3 essays, midterm, and final.. taking him again for psy 106.
Took online, very interesting class. Not much work just a few reaction papers and tests. Easy psych class for sure!
I'm taking his online class, but I've met him in person and he is such a sweet older man. 3 essays, 3 research papers, 3 discussions, midterm and a final which you have to study for! I would take him again!
EXTREMELY well organized. You know every single assignment due for the entire sem, and he sends weekly emails as a reminder in case you forget. Definitely very easy so long as you submit the assignments in the correct format, and on time. 3-4? Discussions. 3 Reaction Papers. 3 Essays. Take him if you're looking for a manageable online class.
Loved him.
Gives out a lot of extra credit if you hand in your assignments on time and complete you will get an A. His review is the test questions.
very clearly outlines all assignments with their deadlines the first week of class so just stay organized. wrote 3 short essays and two 4 page papers plus a multiple choice midterm and final, and discussions. super interesting topics overall a different psych class that was easy.
Took this as a hybrid class. He is very lenient when it comes to exams. He basically gives you the exam without the answers as a study guide, and all the answers can be found in his slides/online. He is the sweetest guy! A few short papers, 3 exams, and a few discussions.
he is the best prof eveeer!!!
Very easy class and good professor. Straight to the point with the assignments. Pretty easy a.
This online class was so easy, there are 5/6 essays and 5 discussions. It may seem a lot but they are opinionated base so it is very easy. Hes a great teacher and gets back to you on time. Would definitely take again.
He is a very nice old man ,he tries to keep the class interesting, and tries to get his students to participate. I took his hybrid class. 3 exams. 3 essays, which are sooo SHORT ( 2-3 paragraphs) about an article he gives you to read. Just study and PARTICIPATE and you can get a good grade.
Took this professor for multiple psychology classes now, all online. Read the lectures and use the study guide for midterm and final. Submit papers and discussions on time and you will pass. You have plenty of time for each of them and they are not difficult topics. Would definitely recommend and take again.
I thought this was a fantastic class to take online. All assignments were clearly outlined and given the first week of the semester. His class consisted of 4 Discussions, 3 Essays, 1 Reaction Paper, a Midterm and Final. The exams were extremely easy since he basically gives you the answers a week in advance. Overall, this was a manageable class!
This class was fairly easy, 2 tests and like 4 papers plus 5 discussions. he states everything in the syllabus just do the work and you'll pass, he is very lenient and nice. took it for the nursing school prerequisites and passed. goodluck!
All discussions were very interesting and welcoming to answers as I am a Psych major i really enjoyed the way this class was set up.
This class was easy, but that doesn't mean you cannot be doing work. His class consisted of 5 discussions, a midterm, final, and a reaction paper. I can't complain as long as you did it you were bound to receive a good grade. He gives you a chance to edit your work as long as it is before the due date and you submitted early. Would take class again
He comes off difficult, but he answers all your questions and gives a detailed study guide for mid-term and final. If you complete all of the assignments you will pass with an A. Takes a couple of days to get back to you and tests are monitored. Don't need the textbook.
Professor Wiater is very serious about taking psychology out into the real world as he is constantly pushing for his students to take on opportunities in the field outside of class. His courses are easy so long as you seriously take the time to study and understand the material. He is always there to help as well. Great course, great professor.
Easy! Second time with him online. Also took him for General Psychology & got an A. Discussions are important! Assignments are 1-2 pages but they mostly are about your opinion on the topic so super easy to write! He gives exams that require webcam but you'll have 2-3 chances to take them. Study the study guide all the questions are on the Exams.
