I really like his teaching style. He encourages a lot of class participation and stresses the importance of attendance and completing assignments by due date. Great sense of humor. Slightly impatient if you take to long to answer a question. Always speaks his mind. I would take any class he taught.

Dr. Mossler is an extremely organized instructor who gives clear and concise lectures. His grading system is clear as water and goes over it during the first day of class. However, if you are a student who thinks psychology is an easy A, Dr. Mossler will have your mind changed after the course ends. Overall, he is great and fair instructor.

This professor is amazing! The group tests are awesome and help you a lot, you learn and see your mistakes right after test and also get extra points! He is so inspirational! Taking his class makes you love psychology! It's easy to get an A if you read the book and go over PP! Buy new edition of the book because some dates are not the same!

I believe that this professor is arrogant is unnecessarily hard for no reason other than to be difficult. Way too much reading chapters and also all of the modules you will need to read EVERY week. The test were never in chronological order in the book and you had to search all over for answers. Never a study guide . Don't do it!

This class is not easy, which I appreciated. There was a lack of communication, he doesn't reply. His exams had a few ridiculous questions on each one that pertained to his own likes and hobbies. I do not have an interest in his life. As for discussion posts, he picks them apart. My introduction post was not specific enough for him.

I enjoy his class very much, his lectures are informative and upbeat. He's a very progressive educator. The scantron exams are not too hard, getting an A is doable, but as other people have stated, his grading criteria on written (APA) papers is harsh. Almost impossible to get anything higher than a B.
