He's a nice guy but not good for a intro class. His teaching isn't a way for students to be able to understand cause its so dry and boring. His exams are really hard if you can't memorize everything from the textbook. Basically its a self taught class.

Roger is a very simple prof. He uses an online free textbook. His exams are cumulative but super easy. All you really need to know are his notes. His exams are all 80% multiple choice and 20% written. But that written question is very open-ended. you just talk about what you learned. He does online quizzes that you can redo as many times. TAKE HIM!

Roger is definitely a great guy. He's kind and obviously very knowledgeable. However, for an extra PSYCH credit, I really struggled with his structure. Lectures weren't very engaging, most were nonsensical group discussion. His tests were HARD and aren't very clear on what to study. Still managed a decent grade but would not take again.

I found his lectures to be very dry. He picks on students to talk if they sit in the back rows so watch out. Also many of his exam questions are content we barely covered in class.

I absolutely loved Rogers class. There are topics on exams that he doesnt talk about in class but he makes it very clear that you need to read the online textbook. That textbook is very easy to understand though so I didnt mind at all. His exams are around 50 multiple choice and an essay in which he asks you to talk about 1 chapter. Very doable!

Roger is a nice guy, you can defiantly see that he is very knowledgeable. His lectures are so dry, half the class isn't listening because he talks in a monotone way. He gives good extra percentage opportunities. There's online work due very often, but it's a good way to help your mark. It's pretty hard to understand exactly what he's talking about.

Roger is amazing!! I found his lectures so entertaining, even though it was a night class he made me want to learn. Exams were also easy - just make sure you read the textbook and do launchpad assignments! I highly recommend if you're interested in psychology

Roger is a really nice and friendly prof. He makes use of his time to teach and makes sure everyone understands. For his exams, he is really clear of what he expects you to know and he is clear with his marking. Overall, he is a really good prof.

Lectures + prof are good. My less than ideal rating comes from the final paper. The assignment relies on the required readings, but not all the authors he cites in his lectures have an included required reading. So some terms you would like to use, technically cannot be used because he never assigned a reading. Tough paper on a seemingly easy topic

I love psychology but this class made me hate it. I never had a class I disliked so much in my entire life. Do not take it if you have problems concentrating ... you will have no life as it will be dedicated to the endless readings each week. I retained nothing knew but did a lot of work. Prof is nice but the course is designed terribly.

Prof focused a lot on research, almost felt like I was taking a research methods class. He's approachable & helpful BUT a hard marker! He assigned a textbook, extra readings, long online videos, & online discussions, plus informal student presentations every other week (in person). Got a decent mark overall but probably would not take again.

I did not particularly enjoy my time in Roger's class. He is clearly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the course, but his methods of teaching just did not work for me. There is too much focus on group work and mandatory presentations and kindergarten-style "everyone raise your arms" type activities. Grades were fairly easy but the class was meh

So many papers

he was kind, but i found him lacking. his lectures do not add much to the readings, so take textbook notes. there are often multiple chapters of the textbook each week + other readings + an online quiz. the exams are cumulative, and cover ALL of the readings. this class has the most reading of all my classes, for what feels like little reward.

He was honestly such a good professor that he led me to believe that all of my Psych courses would be as fun and entertaining as his! I miss his classes because he was the perfect balance of stories and lectures, all while still being on topic. Make sure to do his achieve assignments to practice for his exams, with quizlets to solidify it!
