301 is a hard class overall. However, Ross was able to explain everything clearly and easy to understand. I really enjoyed this class

Psych 301 (statistics) is usually a tough class, and I HATE math, so I was petrified of taking this class. However, Ross made the class very enjoyable, and easy to understand. He is VERY willing to help you learn the material, if you put forth an effort you will do very well in this class.

I could not have survived this class without Ross.

Prof. Flom did a fantastic job of making a terrifying subject not only bearable, but enjoyable and interesting. He really cares about his students too, which is a pretty rare thing. He made himself available to students, stayed after class, and gave us lots of encouragement. He has my very highest recommendation.

Prof. Flom made turned something I HATE, Statistics, into something I now LOVE. He is a GREAT teacher, and if you have to take this class, I wouldn't take it from anyone else....period! He's the best, and is very funny to boot!

I love Ross!! I took stats 221 and he is just amazing at explaining concepts. I definately reccommend jim.

Very easy class. He explained everything very clearly. He is also very funny and made class fun to go to.

Ross is amazing! He's freaking hilarious! He makes the funniest jokes and he's a cool guy. The class was pretty easy, tests were pretty much off the lectures! it was a good class!

Ross (as he likes to be called) is very personable. If you're afraid of stats, I can't think of a better person to take the class from. He can talk too fast and his lectures are not very clear if you haven't read the book, but read the book and do some practice exercises and you'll do fine.

I can't think of a better professor to take Statistics from. Ross keeps your attention with his funny stories and is always willing to help, all you have to do is ask. To succeed in this class, just read the chapter, look over the power points and do practice problems. Ross goes out his way to help you succeed.

Professor Flom is great! His class is interesting and he's really funny. The text book website was really helpful. Do the practice quizes online! You have to study, but it's not too bad.

Listen, I hate stats and if it wasn't for Flom I would have never pulled myself through this class. He was funny, joked around with everyone, and he even put a good word in for me with an attractive girl that works at the Bookstore. What more could you ask for. Have fun with Flom!

Do the readings and keep up to date with the lectures. Do practice quizzes online. Just study and do what you should and you can get a good grade. Hope for a good TA (They usually grade the papers). He's so funny and loves to talk about his wife. Very personal.

I can echo all of the good things many of the students already had to say about him. He really does go out of his way to help you suceed. I have taken 221 and I throughly enjoyed the way he taught psychological stats. He is a great professor!

Professor Flom is a great guy. However, he tries to cover way too much information in his lectures. You walk out of class wondering what the heck he just said. You have to read the book to do well on tests. He does tell funny stories, which keeps class entertaining. Not the easiest class overall, but Flom is an awesome person.

ross is a great guy! i took stats in high school and didn't like it very much, but i felt ross explained it way better than i had heard it before. he's very helpful and approachable. i would recommend him to anyone!

Ross makes stats survivable. I enjoy going to his lectures and I get a lot from them. He is an easy going guy that helps me to not flip out when I don't understand something. I love how he says that he will "drag us through the class kicking and screaming" and how "anyone can understand stats". I never thought I'd survive, but he give me hope.

He's a great teacher. He's difficult, his tests are fairly hard, but if you study you can do well.

Dr. Flom is awesome! He is really nice--by far the most approachable professor I've had at BYU. I can't imagine taking this class from anyone else. His lectures are so funny, it's one of my most entertaining classes! And he is a great teacher--he does a great job of explaining difficult concepts.

Professor Flom is an amazing teacher. He know what he is talking about and is really good at explaining concepts. He also is willing to help you if you need it.

Ross is great. Extremely helpful and understanding. Loved his tangents - gave us time to digest the material. The subject is a little hard at times, and the book didn't help much, as it doesn't have all the answers or ways to get the answers. Do yourself a favor and buy (online) the study guide. Also go to the TA and Ross to get you through.

this guy is hilarious! the subject is difficult and if you don't read the chapters before class you're completely lost, but they're not too long and if you read you get it. he is extremely helpful and goes as slow as the class needs him to. as a night class his humor kept me awake, and for a hard subject he made it completely bearable.

Professor Flom, truly a delight to learn from. His humor is definitely an acquired taste,especially for BYU students, but I love it! The curve in the class was fantastic as well. His absurd borderline sexual comments are hilarious!

Dr. Flom is hilarious and knowledgeable about the subject matter. He is very approachable. He does get off-track sometimes, but it's often with stories that end up better explaining concepts. I found myself laughing in just about every class and looked forward to lectures. Read text before class and he'll go over the concepts well in lecture.

He's good at explaining and making the class interesting by being funny.

My favorite psych prof at BYU.

Ross is a great professor. He obviously doesn't proofread his slides though. Tests are MC and two short essays. He always gives you the topic of the essays if not the actual question so you can prepare. Very funny; talks about his wife a lot. I feel like I know her already.

I secretly wish I could marry into Ross Flom's family, because he's so funny. He genuinely wants his students to succeed in class and in life, and he is very helpful in answering any questions the students have. Ross tells the best stories, which I thought made the class very enjoyable. I highly recommend taking this class from him.

Ross is a reasonable person as far as human beings go. Given the option of having a root canal or taking a class from Ross - I would take the root canal any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Funny, guy, his jokes can get old. Easy class, I often feel like leaving early just because I'm confident I know what is going on in the class. He makes it easy to get a good grade if you just do some reading, show up, and do some practice problems here and there from the book.

I dont know what people are talking about. first off he flirts with noone( so dont worry mrs flom!) second, he prepares his lectures very well, if you simply read and attend class you do great! and i think he's hilarious! he explains well and keeps class entertaining! everything a good teacher should

I really enjoyed this class, mostly because Ross is hilarious. Like others have said, it's kind o hard to get used to, only because most of his jokes are at his own expense, but what can you do? The class is easy if you do the work. He doesn't actually focus on the full range of "childhood" here, he focuses on the first year mostly and a bit beyond

Flom is hilarious, and a lot of fun to get to know. He's not very good at explaining things at times, but overall his class was entertaining and worthwhile. He's not the greatest professor, but he's a great guy.

the class is great!! Dr. flom is very funny, and the tests aren't hard. you just need to read the book and go to class, to many people are lazy and don't read. if you do, the answers are right there. the test questions aren't tricky. i got a 99% on his final and an A in the class, and i am not a smart kid!

Ross is THE BEST. Wouldn't take this class from anyone else.

Definitely a great professor! If you go to class and read you'll do great. He is very clear about his expectations and makes learning about the subject very entertaining! Definitely one of the best professors I've had on campus in my two years here!

Awesome!!! Take anything from this guy...I was so scared to take Statistics, but he made it my favorite class. He is the BEST teacher I have had a BYU for my two years here. Very funny and very helpful!!!

Dr. Flom really cares about his students and what they get out of his class. His lectures are based on the text, so READ IT! otherwise you could get very lost. He'll walk you through each quiz and some of each test, so go to class!! There are 4 quizzes, 2 midterms, and a final which is not comprehensive. I recommend this class.

Ross, is a great teacher. He really wants you to understand STATS, he'll help you until you get it. He is funny, and really nice guy but he's hard on himself. His tests were hard. Even though he doesn't take attendance and you have the power points, I still highly recommend going to class.

Such a good professor! Relates subject matter to understandable real-life situations. Turned a potentially killer class into a very enjoyable one. Tests are not that bad, and he is so willing to help students in any and every way.

Best professor out there! He posts his slides online, but go to class for the iclicker points. There is tons of extra credit opportunities. No written paper work. Class is based off quizzes/tests/iclicker. Tests are easy if you memorize the bold words in the book and know his slides. Do that and this class will be an easy A!

This guy's great. His lectures are hilarious,and he really knows the ins and outs of the material. If you're at all interested in Psychology, take 111 from him.

Flom's class was great for Psych 111. His slides are very helpful and if you go over the notes and do the online quizes right before the test, it's very doable. He also does his best to help the students out with their grade. very helpful class, take it from him.

I LOVED this class. Professor Flom really cares about the students and is an interesting lecturer. There is a lot of reading but if you can keep up with it the rest of the class isn't hard. He really wants you to do well and finds ways to make up points for the students.

Awesome guy. Class was super easy. Didn't take the final and still got an A.

I had to take Psychological Statistics twice.... cause I failed the first time. He's the reason I passed the second time. He explained it in a way I understood and made me relaxed and comfortable in the classroom. Favorite professor so far at BYU! Love love love the guy! So personable and he made stats fun...how is that even possible?! But he did.

Ross is probably one of the funniest professors at BYU. He made getting up for an 8 am stats class completely worth it. I loved this class! Not only was he hilarious, he also explained the concepts really well. PS- Ask him about the time he stole a dog.

I highly recommend Dr. Flom. He is well worth the amount of oxygen he consumes, and if you work hard, the things he teaches might even be worth an A.

What no chili pepper...he deserves it....

Take FLOM! He is the absolute best professor. He taught me so much not just about statistics but real life application!

Excellent professor. He has a great sense of Humor, is extremely helpful...loved this class!

I actually thought Ross Flom was very crude for a BYU professor. He's definitely layed back and helps a lot in preparing for tests.

Professor Flom really cares about his students . . . you can just tell. He wants you to succeed, and does everything he can to help you. He even makes an effort to learn people's names in class! If you read the text and then you review it in class, you will do great. Take psych 111 from him!!!

I LOVE ROSS. I think there are like 2 negative comments out of the 60 on here. Ross wrote both of them (who knows why. He's a strange, strange man). He actually made statistics (a class I was dreading) fun, and I did better in this class than any other this semester, despite its difficult nature. IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE PSYCH 301, TAKE IT FROM ROSS!

This guy... Is definitely an interesting man! He is always cracking a joke in class. Just one paper and chapter quizzes. It's not too bad overall, but you have to study for the tests or else you'll get bad grades like me. But I loved it, everything is fascinating, and fun for a GE. Flom is funny and helpful. Take it from him!

ROSS IS THE BEST!! He has been my favorite professor at BYU! He makes class enjoyable and he has a good sense of humor. He is very helpful when it comes to the quizzes and tests.This class doesn't require alot of busy work, you don't have homework due. Your grade is based on 4 quizzes and 3 tests. HE IS AWESOME!!!!!

Ross is a great teacher. Just take notes in class or read the book and take the chapter test and all will go well. The paper is really quite easy. He makes class really enjoyable and relates things well. Take this class from him!

O baby this guy is great! He is such a great teacher! I loved attending class! Wouldn't miss it for the world! He is very helpful. Only 4 quizes and 3 tests. Wasn't too excited about taking stats before this class and now I'm o so glad I could take it from Ross :)

I loved him. Quite the interesting character, he's a total nerd but in a good way. Reading that book is kind of a joke but just look over the people and terms of each chapter and you'll be good. He always told us to stop worrying so much about school, hearing that from a teacher just makes the guilt melt away. I thank him for that.

I love Prof Flom! He's a great teacher. Tends to wander though. Sometimes goes off on a huge tangent that has nothing to do with the material, then hurries through lecture too fast. Really funny guy. No pressure. Essay is short, yet a challenge. I loved this class!

Flom RULES! One of my favorite teachers all-time. If you want an A, read the text book.

Ross is THE BEST! I took a Stats class before this and Ross is way better! He makes everything crystal clear and he'll go over the hard conceptual stuff it until it makes sense. No homework; grades based on 4 quizzes and 3 exams, which he gives you lots of help preparing for! I wouldn't have gotten through this 2 hour 8 am class if not for Ross!

Professor Flom was great!! There is one essay that was challenging and there is a ton of reading. In order to do well in the class you really need to READ!!!! As long as you read the book you will be fine on the tests! The tests were usually straight out of the book and from his lectures. Go to class!

Professor Flom knows how to turn a freshman level course to something worth attending. Easy going while maintaining an environment of learning. Easily approachable and I would definitely recommend him. He has a unique ability to bring in experiences to highlight the importance of different concepts. Read the book then go to lectures to reinforce.

Ross is a funny dude. His lectures were worth going just because of the jokes, but they also help a lot. Read the book. Quizzes are rough, but test are somewhat easier. You'll learn a lot.

He was the man. Very funny. He made a 3 hour class very enjoyable and worthwhile! TAKE IT FROM HIM!!!

Flom is a great professor! He is the funniest teacher I have ever had and makes class so interesting! I have always loved psych, but he definitely makes it much more interesting! Attendance isn't mandatory to obtain a good grade, you just need to know the material from the book, but class is definitely worth going to just because of his teaching!

Covers material well/ goes off on random tangents but they are always funny and keep the class interesting. fun teacher

Incredible stats teacher. I was very worried going into the class, but he taught stats in a way that I could easily understand. He is very willing to help and work with students. His lectures are hilarious too. Very funny stories.

He is a great guy and he really cares about the students. Also very good at teaching 99% of the time (I don't think he makes the slides, because he occasionally interprets them differently than what the book said). Really a good class and you'll learn a lot from taking it.

Ross is the best. Seriously. His class is not only 'intellectually enlarging,' but very 'spiritually strengthening.' He shared his testimony with us a few times. Reading the book is a MUST. Try to read before class, but make sure you do read regardless. His lectures are a nice review of the material, but by no means a comprehensive lesson.

He's a great teacher, and he brings a great mood to the classroom. The only problem is he's got crappy self esteem! Flom, if you're reading this, just know that your class was fantastic and I count you as one of my favorite professors.

Excellent professor! I would highly recommend taking this class from him. I am horrible at math, but this has become one of my favorite classes. His stories are hilarious and make going to a math class at 8a.m. worth it. (I REALLY hate math and early mornings...) He really cares about his students. Interesting Gospel insights worth hearing.

Professor Flom is one of my favorite Psych professors. He totally made the early morning stats class SOOO worth it, it was fun to come to class. Great stories, shares his testimony, helps you learn and cares a TON about students & that you understand & learn. It's not too hard, didn't require too much effort.

LOVE Ross. He is a great teacher! He makes class fun with all of his jokes and great personality. You will thoroughly enjoy this class! There is hardly any homework, just make sure to really read the textbook in prep for the exams. Seriously, this class was so enjoyable!! He is a great professor and I wish I had to take another one of his classes!

Ross is so funny! There's only one paper and some online assignments and then 4 tests. The paper is easy and the tests can be difficult if you don't read the book. You HAVE to read if you want to do well. He explains concepts well and makes lectures fun. Take this class from him!

Ross is hilarious. He gives memorable examples and he really cares about his students. His class is very fun and he's a great guy. The stories he tells are kind of random but they are so worth it. Take PSYCH111 from him.

Ross is a really great professor. He tells great stories that are hilarious and interesting and they make class a lot easier. He is always available to help and he really cares that his students learn the material. Ross is superchill. His tests are easy if you go to class and the workload is always manageable. Take a class from him. It'll be great.

There is not a professor on BYU's campus who cares more about his students and their lives, and how they are doing. Ross is hilarious and wants his students to succeed, that being said, his tests are somewhat tough, he does a review before them though. Ross is a boss.

Ross is fantastic! He's pretty much my favorite professor at BYU. He loves teaching and genuinely cares about his students. He takes the time to actually talk to you and see how you're doing. He'll give you as much help as you need and makes the 3hr lectures as painless as possible. Fun fact: he gives himself bad ratings on here for some reason.

Ross is a fun teacher who brings an interesting perspective to his lessons as a convert. He teaches and bases his tests entirely on textbook.

I seriously love Ross. His class is super easy, but you learn a ton! He teaches straight from the book and puts his powerpoints online. He is very personable and more than willing to help a student. If you have any questions, email or see him in his office. He see's you as an individual rather than a paycheck. He's a great guy, and a great teacher!

I love Ross. TAKE HIS CLASS. He is the sweetest and most hilarious guy. He definitely knows his stuff, and is really clear in his teaching. He puts all powerpoints online and teaches straight from the book. There's only one paper to write and it's easy. He also has tons of funny date stories and bonds with his students and calls them by name.

I love this man. I have so much respect for him. He made stats more understandable for me, and I never understand math. Ross genuinely cared about you as a person. Hands down one of my favorite professors. Not my favorite class, but the teacher was the best.

Ross is an awesome professor take this class! He teaches more or less straight from the book and uses class time to explain things the book didn't do a good job of explaining. Tests are easy if you do the homework, reading and go to class. He's really funny and lectures go by really fast.

Ross is by far one of the best professors I've ever had at BYU! He keeps his lectures entertaining and tells lots of funny stories to keep everyone awake. His tests are based off of the book so you have to do the reading, but his reviews are really helpful. I've had him for 320 and 308 and they're some of the best classes I've ever had!

Ross is great. He has such great stories that you are like "Where is he going with this?" and then Bam he explains the concept and you don't forget it. Enthusiastic, great lecturer, really helps you Understand and learn. Great guy would Highly reccomend him.

Read the book. Memorize the book. He tests on the book. It's all about the book. You can do it! Use the tools found with the e-book to help you memorize as well. Lectures are just a way to clarify what is already in the book, as well as become acquainted with his intense sarcasm. Be sure you can write a decent paper, too. Work at it, and research.

Ross is a SUPER awesome teacher! His lectures are mostly an overview of the reading, but they are because he always adds in personal stories about his love life. It's pretty entertaining so go to class! Tests are kind of difficult if you don't read the textbook. He really does care about his students though! TAKE HIS CLASS! It's great!

Ross is a great teacher. He teaches very clearly, is hilarious, and really cares about his students. He wants everyone to get a good grade and takes the time to help students out. There aren't many assignments to cushion grade so reading the book is a must. I had fun in his lectures and he's good at tying in key concepts with funny stories.

Loved this class! There are 4 tests and 1 paper. Reading the book is a good idea. Lectures are great! Ross does a great job of giving examples and is super funny as well! I recommend sitting in the front of the class so he learns your name and enables you to participate more! I would take this class or any class from him! He is fantastic!

Stats isn't that interesting, but he's great @ explaining hard things & gives plenty of examples w different scenariosdata. SO FUNNY. SPSS is not the most fun either, but he gives really clear instructions AND walks you through it in class. Miss a lecture? Not the end of the world. Powerpoints are so helpful, when the book is sometimes confusing.

Read the book, read the book, read the book, read the book. Literally every test question comes from the chapters. Lectures come straight from the book as well. If you read the book, you'll do great, if you don't, good luck. Ross is a hysterical professor and his lectures are fairly enjoyable.

Ross is a cool guy and a good professor. His lectures are straight from the textbook so it helps to show up to class if you don't plan on reading the textbook thoroughly. You will probably leave class knowing more about Ross than you expected (what TV shows he likes, how his love-life is going, etcetera) You should get an A if you read the textbook

I love how genuine he is! He doesn't try to be the "cookie cutter" BYU professor and loves to make jokes! But he genuinely cares about his students and was aware when we were struggling and would just bear his testimony then dismiss class. He definitely realizes if we are stressed and he even lowered the grading criteria at the end! He's the best!

Ross is one of the best Psych professors at BYU. He really cares about his students and wants to help. I was not fully understanding the tests so he had me take the final in a room next to his office and clarified any confusion I was having and it really did help me out. There is a big paper in the class but it is somewhat optional. START IT EARLY.

Never went to class, just read the book and got an A-. Tests were pretty easy, but some questions were annoying and asked about random facts no one would ever remember.

Flom is such a great professor. He's funny, helpful, and easy to understand. The lectures follow the textbook almost exactly. Tests aren't easy, but if you study you'll do okay. This is a great class to see how interested you are in psych. I definitely recommend taking it, especially from Flom.

I really enjoyed Professor Flom's class. He made mundane material very interesting and always willing to help answer any questions in regards to unclear material. Though he had hundreds of students, he was personable and concerned for each of our success. I would highly recommend his class.

Ross is one of my favorite professors at BYU. He's hilarious and his lectures are entertaining. He genuinely cares about each of his students. It's a demanding class and you should expect a lot of reading. Tests are average, it's a ton of memorization.

Lecture is right out of the textbook, but a lot of what he says isn't on the slides, so I would make sure you're at class. Very fair with grading and his tests. Paper wasn't bad. Didn't give extra credit, but let us drop one of our 4 exams, including the final. So I personally didn't have to take my final because I already had an A. Awesome!

He has some pretty entertaining lectures which help make the material easier to learn. He also wants to make sure you pass the class and while it is a boring subject he makes it as fun as possible.

Ross is a solid professor. His lectures are always interesting and I never saw anyone fall asleep even though the class was at 8am. This class requires a lot of reading, but it is interesting material as well. He also sometimes gets off on strange tangents, but he also gets through all the material. I would recommend him.

Best math teacher I've ever had bar none. He's HILARIOUS, so caring & super straight forward teacher--he makes stats so easy to understand and is so patient. They switched professors half way through the semester and it SUCKS!!! I'm about to sue BYU, I'm so mad we want Ross back!! If you are reading this Ross, just tell me who I need to punch!!

Flom made statistics bearable! He was hilarious and such a great guy, so down to earth!
