He uses his group project to bring average marks down, it is impossible to get a good grade on the project.
No Comments
His test is quite easy~~. basic on da lecture ... many MC~~.. n' easy final paper .. hight recomment to take hiM~~
He is a really great teacher. He grades fairly. His lectures are not boring.
good examples, easy assignments, cumulative tests but not hard
This class rocks. I've never had a prof that is so enthusiastic about his student's learning. A definite must for Psychology. He's quite funny, too.
Roger is a very friendly guy with a sense of humor. Very interesting class!!! & easy marker!
This teacher is crazy, he stands and goes through the notes without teaching anything. It is a waste of time going to this class. The only thing u can get good marks is study for ur test. And the test is F**King hard.
bored and a hard teacher if u guys wanna get good marks better find another teacher. he stands and talks about things off topic like sex, erection, and lots more things that he experienced. hard tests and quiz every two days.
This teacher is great, he makes topics interesting and memorable, is friendly and seems to want students to do well. He marks easy and creates a good class environment.
This teacher is friendly and nice on the outside. He actually is not, wants to fail student. Hard tests and projects to do. Homework everyday and no notes to take.><
Oh my hard tests and final paper- this guy is **** and likes to fail student with a D or a F and I had got a D because he fail me on the final paper which worth 25% HARD TEACHER NOT ADVISE
He'd very good at explaining things and using exampled, especially if you lack good math skills. Careful on his tests, some questions are tricky! Read carefully!
Easy marker, easy test, good teacher
This teacher is not adivse take him at your own risk.....Wanna fail go for him want god grades go for another ...test is tricky and paper is hard....final exam is a trick...oH my my
I highly recommend this professor! His lecture is interesting and he gives lots of useful examples to help you understand the content. Not hard to get a good mark if you spend time on this course.
Roger is a fantastic teacher, capable of making even the dryest material interesting. As long as you show up and read the text you'll do fine.
yeah he's easy but he also seems to pick favourites in the class...not that it matters cause the tests and papers are slack.
I'd say he's a pretty nice instructor. His tests are mostly pretty easy and when you are uncertain about something, all you have to do is email him. He'll reply your question in less than two hours or so. Fun teacher, helpful and most of all, friendly.
HOT! he is nice and easy...
Is a very good teacher in explaining concepts by providing examples to help memorize terms.He also tends to repeat important info so you miss writing it down you have a 2nd and 3rd try.He is also very cute when he smiles.
i don't recommend to take him. he's very hard and demanding. and he always give out low marks. seriously
Roger is a great teacher! He is extremely helpful, and provided you attend class regularly, and keep up in the readings youll do fine. The material is a bit dry, but not his fault! Some of the previous comments on here are obviously a joke.
Roger is an awesome teacher. Compared to most profs, he is easygoing and not a hard marker. He is really warm and caring. He is the best you will get!
Roger, is a extremely helpful teacher. He helps understand class material by illustrating some experiments which makes the material more memorable. Recommended teacher in the future.
Tests were pretty simple, only one paper which was a summary of some internet articles, no research or analysis required. One group oral presentation, which I didn't like but managed to get through. I would recommend him, and am trying to get him again.
Gives waaaaay too much work for very little marks. Assignemnts are definetly easy marks, but are unfortunetly, very tedious and time consuming work (a essay analysis for only 3%?!). His tests are accumulative. He is very nice though.
He is a very fair taecher and explains everything in detail. His test are pretty easy if you listen in class. You barely have to do homework and still get a B. He is a good teacher!
Good prof, better than wayne anyways! lecture notes are all online to D/L. hated the online discussion though. novel project/presentation at the end of the semester. recommended
He's a very nice teacher. He can turn a boring topic into an interesting class time. Even though his assignments are pretty time-consuming, it guanrantees you a good grade in this course if you put effort in it.
It seems like this guy would be a good teacher in other courses but not in stats. It is horrible. The whole course is cumulative so the final is on all 16 chapter - chap 14. Lectures dont tell you much either I had to teach myself with the textbook.Beware
I liked his class. The stats course itself was hard, but I worked hard and expect to get a good mark at the end (exam in two weeks). He is an interesting prof and a pleasant man. I would take him again.
AWESOME TEACHER!! Roger is one of the best teacher's I've had. Easy teacher, funny and passionate about psychology.Tests are mostly multiple choice, study and you will get and 'A'. Roger also lets you out of class early often. I got an A+ in this class.
He is a good person, but i don't like his teaching. i do not like the online writing and presentation. Midterms are not hard. But, i really hate him that he will put presentation questions in the final exam. Not fair, too bad! I will not take him again.
He is a good teacher and the class it self is pretty easy as well. The online discussions arent that bad and i wish i had done them right from the beginning, instead of last minute. The only complaint is that there are presentation questions on the final.
This class is a hard class, but he is a good teacher. He explains the concepts well, and gives a lot of examples that are usually on the tests as well. His assignments also keep you on track with the lectures, so You don't end up studyin at the last min
I you study, I don't see how this class could be hard, I got an A+. Roger is an outstanding prof and he makes class interesting. If you thoguht the class was difficult, you obviously didn't study..it's college, not a cakewalk. Tests mostly multiple choice
Great teacher made everything sound simple and if you don’t understand he will find ways of explaining it to you. Very helpful and seems to care about the class. I strongly recommend taking his class. Only slackers and idiots can mess this class up.
Hard tests and assignments ...mark papers in a high level. speaks spanish and confuse students about topics lecture in class. think about taking him...
He is nice and easy. He doesn't talk right from the textbook; instead, he goes beyond the text and talks interesting facts. Excellent teacher!!!!
I took his class last year, and enjoyed him very much. He was very well prepared, the only part that I didn't like about him was the project that he had, but other than that, he was very nice, clear, and good marker. RECOMMENDED!!!! TOO BAD I AM NOT IN KWANTLEN ANYMORE, GRADUATED ALREADY......
a nice person most of the time
Probably the most interesting and helpful professor for me to date. I enjoyed all his lectures and he is full of interesting stories. He is truly a nice guy and cares a lot about teaching. I would highly recommend taking him, but be prepared to study lecture notes to do well on tests.
He is very helpful to students who need help.

An easy teacher. Interesting lectures. Easy tests. NO ESSAYS! (i was surprised on that part) If you go to classes and read his notes and the text, you'll get A's on tests. P.S. FUN COURSE!
Awesome guy, very passionate about psyc, and always has a story to tell. Super nice, would definently recommend him, easy, just study..I got an A+.
He is the best Professor I've ever had. Such a nice guy and so helpful. Stats is a hard class but he makes it managable. Love this guy!
Awesome teacher! Stats very manageable. Got A and I suck at math stuff. Super teacher, really explanatory notes and amusing psych stories. Tweed is really passionately into stats. so it has a positive effect on students. Pick him!
has anyone else noticed that he stares at the floor when hes talking infront of the class??
the class is boring due to content...but nevertheless the makes it a bit more interesting...his stories are great...exams shouldnt be too difficult if you read the text...very nice guy...and knows his stuff...definitely drills the material into your head!
weird wierd man
Very nice, clear, helpful- Funny stories.Study his in-class notes. Gives chance for Bonus Marks. 1 big Paper, about 4/5 tests,1 presentation but easy marker as long as u actually try.
decent class and decent prof. He kinda reminds me of Ned Flanders from TheSimpsons...or is that just me? pretty easy to understand prof and lecture notes.
very good at explaining material, and wants us to learn and understand. Pretty funny as well.
Pretty good teaher. Kind of anal about test taking though. Very cautious about cheaters! Very clear, gives ppt notes to the class. For psych 1200 all of the tests are accumulative, so it makes the final a peice of cake. He makes class interesting, but is kind of weird, hard to explain. I would take again.
all his tests are multiple choice. and some questions were from the study guide. i just studied the study guide a couple hours, and didn't read the book at all and i got better than the girl who read the whole chapter in the textbook for days! all his notes are online so you don't necessarily have to show up unless you learn better from listening
This guys is way too anal about cheaters. His notes dont follow the text so u basically r teaching urself. Hes a nerd w/ nerdy stories. His tests are culmulative, he leaves everything to the last 3 weeks almost everything is due 1 class from the last. HEY ROGER, WE HAVE OTHER CLASSES!!! Don't take his class if ur in interested in psychology.
Good teacher. Explains things swell. interesting stories fairly easy if you do the work.
he is very strict about tests. wont even let u sit ANYWHERE near who u usually sit next to. makes u sit on like the opposite side of the room. and he hands around a sheet and u sign it and if you are near the person u usually sit next to he said he'll give you a zero! but he's sooo easy! my gawd! if you want a good mark, take him! but he's boring!
he is really nice guy.. knows his stuff really well.. study his class notes (u'll see them in tests).Mostly focus on the text& study guide(he gets most of his test questions from there.Pretty weird guy too.. at times, I would spot him looking at the ground while lecturing.
Doesn't use the textbook for his lectures but still are in his tests. Great teacher.
My god; the most monotone;boring individual ive ever encountered. Hated being in his class,he often went on strange illogical tangents in the middle of lecture, and gave no time to finish essays. If you want to keep your GPA up;id suggest finding another professor..
tweedalicious. like wow.
Roger is awesome. NOT monotone at all. I guess he expects more than other profs, but nothing too time consuming, and only because he loves psych and wants you to love it too!! He's the coolest nerd ever... EVER!!
Amazing teacher, makes the course so much easier to learn!
really nice guy. Facilitates good class discussions. Big paper in all his classes but he offers tonnes of help.
even though i failed his class. he was a freaken awsome teacher, i just didnt really pay attention, and never listen. but roger was an awsome teacher and very helpful
Pretty chill guy, and tests are usually all multiple choice :D
Took both 1100 and 1200 with him. Multiple choice tests and assignments are very easy. No reason not to do good. Studying the powerpoints will at least get you a B. Read the textbook for an A. Nicest guy ever, it is an easy class but it does require some EFFORT.
No need of textbook if you print the slides and take notes on them in class. Multiple choice answers covers material he elaborates on a lot in class. keeps the class very interesting by engaging is different activities in almost every class
Not a bad prof, only thing i didn't like were the accumulative exams. pretty time consuming to review everything you've learned + new chapters. you definitely need to study!! don't recommend him if you've got a heavy course load.
Tweed isnt all he seems to be. His outlines are horrible and they dont explain anything he wants. His tests are cumulative and unless you like that dont take him. He is boring in class and doesnt keep your attention. Got a B- but wouldnt take him again.
he was a pretty funny guy, the course was pretty interesting. hate the accumulative exams, they were a joke. his tests were ok, very wordy. but easy 15% doing online quizzes. there was a presentation as well, not too bad very simple. and a term paper that was pretty ridiculous. taken both psych 11 and 12, he was overall great
Roger is a pretty good Prof, his lectures are informative. A lot of reading required to do well in exams because he doesn't cover a lot of material in class. Our class had two major assignments: presentation and a term paper. He was lenient marker overall. Not necessarily a GPA booster, but I would recommend him to other students.
Roger goes into detail on each Chapter, however it's up to the student to read the notes online or in the textbook and to review. The class is very easy and extremely fun. Roger is entertaining and makes the class more interesting. Would definitely take it again!
He's awesome. Definitely take if you can. :)
Roger Tweed is a fun professor to listen to, and explains concepts very thoroughly. The only thing I would say is the final group project we had to do was a little unclear as to the purpose and what he was expecting in the criteria.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but Roger had some interesting assignments (ie: individual seminars, original positive psychology theory paper, etc). He likes to focus on experimental design, so you have to argue the validity of the results in each assignment. Very approachable and nice professor.
This is coming from a person with terrible english. What can I say about Roger, from Social Psyc to Positive Psyc, you can never go wrong with Roger's classes. I never expected to receive such high grades for a 4th year course. 1 original theory paper, 2 exams, 1 presentation. (i am shy too, but this is probably the best 4th year class you can find
Tweed is amazing! He explains concepts clearly and answers questions about the material to the best of his ability. He posts his power points online, but I'd recommend reading the textbook if you're aiming for an A. His accumulative exams weren't too bad either. Class interaction among your peers was also a big thing of his. Overall great guy!
Good teacher, pre funny guy aswell and tests arent easy but not hard
Rogers class was well... hard. He is kind of frazzled all the time which makes it hard to understand. He is very passionate about what teaches which is good. All tests are cumulative... so i would not recommend as it's really hard to remember everything, especially in an intro course.
One of the best profs I've had at KPU so far
Best psych prof in kpu imo and classes with roger are never stressful he is HILARIOUS. Major tip (thank me later): attend to his lectures and take notes, a lot of exam materials are based on lecture notes.
Really good prof, hated psychology in high school, loved in while he was teaching it. Would take Roger again if I had the opportunity to
does online notes and if you study those you're going to get a great grade on the test! He does the launchpads too which is an easy 20% of your grade. Tests were not hard at all as long and you do the launchpad quizzes and read the slides he makes it's super easy. There are no projects and no quizzes in class. I love how he teaches the class.
He is really interested in his field but he is not a intro type teacher. His tests are tough after the first because they are cumulative. You get marks for doing online quizes and also assignments which are easy but his lectures are boring.
Roger is such a caring prof. You do have to read, but he gives clear grading criteria. If you put effort in to the class you will achieve a good grade. Will take again.
Roger is a great professor, he provides clear grading material, good examples, tests are basic and not difficult to do as long as you read his simple powerpoint notes he provides for his class! there are no suprise quizzes and no term papers. He is a simple teacher and i would love to take his class again if possible.
He is a nice guy but it boring to listen to while he lectures and he is super weird about having ur phone on the table and he repeats unnecessary things a lot. he talks about a ton of random things and gets side tracked
Roger is very nice. There are online reading assignments/quizzes that are worth 20% & are kind of tedious, but they helped a lot with studying. Exams are easy if you did the online work & review a bit. Strict about not using phones, tends to repeat things a lot, & can be a bit boring. Overall, a simple guy for an easy, basic intro. course.
Great psychology prof. 40% of the grade is for online assignments and attendance, so you just have to show up and that's all. His midterms are fairly easy multiple choices only. I strongly recommend him and would definitely take him again.
Seriously the best prof ever. Would take for all my classes if he taught them! Extremely nice and caring, easy marks.
Lectures are boring & dry but makes it easy to understand; must attend for participation marks & handouts. Online assignments are open book, super easy worth 20%. Midterms are cumulative mainly multiple choice but can be kind of hard/confusing even if you study powerpoints & read textbook. Textbook info is usually on test. 3 tests including final.
such an amazing guy! lectures were entertaining as he seems to be having a blast and enjoying the topics he is teaching. would take again just for the prof!
He is great, very passionate about psych. Marks easy and tests are not hard. hes a great guy i would take him again! miss having class with him! He uses launchpad! easy marks!
Great prof. Easy A. GPA booster!!
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.
Great class, it's not super hard you just have too study and you probably will get a good mark
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
Best Prof I've ever had, laid back, clear instructions, and an easy marker. His lectures were also so engaging and interesting. 10/10 would recommend.
Hes very nice professor. If read his lecture notes, textbooks reading, you will do awesome:)
Hes a great prof. Definitely will take him again. If you struggle or need help, he is very helpful.
This is my second time taking class with Dr. Roger , hes a great prof, if you do textbook reading, listen to his lectures carefully, you will do great in exams and quizzes. In terms of papers, follow his instructions, you will do well + work hard
Roger is overall a great prof however his lectures can be somewhat dull. Roger is a very decent marker and is also very caring as he goes out of his way to make sure his students understand the course material.
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.
hard grader
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
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.
Professor's teaching methods didn't work for me. Lots of mandatory group work and presentations. Grades were easy, but the class felt dull. Tried using unstuck AI to supplement study time.
He is very funny and understanding his classes are fun and he makes it not to much work great teacher
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!
