Fun and engagine prof. overall not a hard course, i put in little effort and still manage to get a B..

Very engaging prof. Makes lectures interesting to listen to, I always looked forward to them. Material taught is also very interesting, but amount of information can be overwhelming. Don't fall behind in your readings in this class.

He makes the lecture interesting! He gives fair exams but the essay section is being marked too hard! One should never expect a "PSYC 100" student capable of writing something possible to contribute to psychology. Materials in this course is ove

He is an ok professor, but he explains very good. his exams are not easy though

good prof. and what else can i say?

Fun and interesting class, makes readings for the class more interesting as well. What else can i say?

this dude here is the most AWESOME dude u can haf as a prof, every class is like a partay and he involves everyone in his lectures. he makes it fun and interesting so that lectures are not 50mins of bs with earning nth!!! haf not had a better prof

very interesting

Very hard course, but Dr Day makes it so enjoyable and worth your efforts. amazing guy if you go and have a chat with him. Very personable and genuinely interested to know you as a person. Would recommend him as a prof any day.

Definitely my favorite prof and perfect for a first year course. His lectures are organized, structured and he knows how to keep the class entertained. Quite funny!

Good stuff

Dr. Day is a great prof. The lectures are fun, and cover a decent amount of material. The material could relate a bit more to the tests, you can definatly afford to miss lectures if need be. good Psyc prof, with hard hard tests.

Great prof. yeah a bit high school like but so what? Nice guy to talk to. One of the few classes that can keep me awake.

his lectures were pretty interesting..but there's quite a bit to do in the course

He was great, what more can I say. He was clear, answered questions and the work load was fine. Great prof and great course.

funny, dont make u fall asleep..but must must MUST read the text book..exams comes more from text then notes

Interesting Prof, though lectures weren't very necessary for midterms/final. The course had a lot of components, though with effort they could be successfuly completed.

Really good prof.

This prof is a riot. He's funny, interesting, etc. However - 100 level psyc classes will MURDER you on the exams. I think this is their secret way of filtering out all the students from going on to upper level Psyc. Whatever the reason - its pretty stupid considering the money we pay for this.

Amazing lectures, very funny and interesting. He has a way of making students interested, and getting them involved. I especially enjoyed his class on hypnotism; it was hilarious! Great Prof!

Lovely, hillarious guy! The lectures and course content are great, but the exams are ball breakers even if you've taken other psych courses!!! Labs are great too!

the class? not as easy as one thinks. the prof? ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. funny, informative, and concise. can command a class of 400 effortlessly and makes it seem like he's just having a convo with you. if you are interested in psyc and day's teaching it...DON'T HESITATE!

Nice person to talk to one on one, but I didn't like his lecture style. He narrowed the focus with his notes, but then you still had to read the textbook in order to do well on the exam. Exams were ok if you studied. His marking style for the essay questions was confusing, but if you pay attention to your mistakes, you can improve.

The material...kinda hectic and a workload! But the Prof!?!?!?! FAULTLESS!!!!!!!!!!! His lectures were one of the few where i actually wasn't interested in listening online at all. COme hell or high water...i had to go and see what he'd do. If you get the chance...GO FOR IT!

Don't underestimate the workload!! He's funny and pretty good but way too hard for a 100 level class..

He is a good prof. Helps alot. Thx

Interesting lectures, but lots of work for this class (group projects, papers). Exams are fair game.

great guy; not too strict but not too lenient either; learned A LOT; lectures are never boring even if the topics are

He makes class really interesting

Really great prof.... attending lectures makes everything alot more clear than it is in the text. Fair workload... tough exams, more understanding and applying info than memorizing!

Good at lecturing. Exams are somewhat tough since you have to apply the knowledge rather than regurgitate, but his teaching style is easy to follow and not too dry. Definitely the guy you want if you're taking psyc 100.

not bad guy

I took PSYC 100 and 102 with him. Very nice and approachable guy, also very interested in the subject. He treats everyone like an elementary kid in lectures. His exams (written part) is based on his lecture notes, however the Multiple Choice you really have to read every page of the chapter in the the text book. I would recommend it.

Good prof

Very interesting lectures! He includes little questionnaires and surveys that enhance his lectures. 3/4 exams count towards the grade, one paper, and one group presentation. Class was moderately easy if you read the textbook.

Great Professor. I enjoyed attending lectures, he briefly goes over textbook sections. If you get to class early enough you can bring in music for him to play...

As a first year student, this class was a gift! The prof is a really nice guy that is very easy to talk to. I could definitely tell he was passionate about helping students and making the course enjoyable. THE KEY TO GETTING AN A+ IN THE CLASS: memorize, memorize and memorize the text book.

Dr. Day is great! The first test was hard, then it gets easier. He makes the lectures real fun. Lots of examples. Loved the class loved him.

I wish I could in his class again

for this class, the notes are not indepth so to do well, READ THE TEXT again and again and also understand the bolded terms in the textbook...the short answer parts of midterms were tough(hint: define and explain everything and write lots).. prof gives some good examples to understand concepts..the material itself is interesting

His classes are useless. You must read the text.

Great Professor! He uses great examples to demonstrate psychological points which makes them much more salient. His lectures are interesting so make sure you go!

Great prof!

SERIOUSLY such a good prof! loved him!

Awesome prof, you can tell he is passionate about teaching. Expects a lot from students and is very helpful. He is also super funny and plays Queen at the beginning of every lecture - its great!

He is very funny and makes psychology very interesting.

Good prof overall! His lectures are somewhat useful,but not for me at least because i read the book instead of listening to what he saids in class. Thus, attending to this class in not mandatory.

A fun prof, obvious that he loves teaching. Taking him again for 102. :)

A well-organized and well-run 1st year class. Exams are fair. Lectures are interesting/entertaining, but ultimately next to useless in preparing you for exams, which there are a lot of, plus quizzes. Read the book, understand the concepts (not difficult), and memorize the bolded terms! Material isn't hard but requires work (reading.)

Pretty cool prof, very passionate about the things that he teach. always makes funny and corny jokes and we listend to disturbia before class! the only bad thing is, lots of textbook reading and memorizing terms. CLASS is NOT mandatory :)

Just an amazing teacher that makes Intro to Psych an easy going and fun look into some basic elements of the brain and human behavior. His Exams and quizzes are straight out of the textbook, His classes just revise and add some interesting points/current views/research to the topics being studied.

Overall a pretty good prof, well-known for his blue shirts, music before lecture and mini-demos in class. Textbook reading is CRUCIAL for this course! It's a good idea to make notes or cue cards and to try to stay ahead on the reading. Final exam was all multiple choice and relatively easy =)

Nice prof. Lectures interesting but not useful for quizzes or exams. I found the quizzes were too picky on details. Hard to get a good grade even after reading the chapter multiple times. Midterms and final were a bit better.

Not one lecture went by where he didn't have the entire lecture hall laughing. Funny guy who's able to make psychology fun. He cares for his students. When so many people missed their quizzes, he was willing to stay after class and have a lab open and let them do it. Quizzes are based on textual information, tests are conceptual comprehension.

Excellent prof! Very funny, and helpful, and the course is interesting as well. Read the textbook and memorize as much as possible, a lot of multiple choice. Reading ahead will be useful

A fun teacher who keeps the class interesting, and is always ready to help a student.

I love this prof! Funny, easy going and very clear. If only the classes weren't so huge! His TAs, watchout, they don't mark very well. The written part of the exams, you should ask him in person on how he wants it done, it took me while to figure outhe was looking for (its not always about what you know).

Best prof I have ever had!

Good prof, bad TA's. Lose marks for having wrong font on a paper, etc...

Awesome prof!

Classes are enjoyable, funny. Good prof. Main focus is on the Textbook. read the chapters and get atleast a B. Open lab quizes very easy. Overall, best prof ive had so far :)

If you read the book and take notes, it's not hard to get an A in this subject. He was very helpful and passionate!

Awesome Prof. Great teaching style, balanced class, and good motivation to keep up with your work. People complain about all the quizzes and midterms, but I prefer it that way since it spreads out the weight of the grades.

well, he is a great prof, but he exams are very hard. and he has quizes for every single chapters. and the answers are tricky

Before when I didn't read the textbooks, I thought the course was really difficult. But when I actually READ the textbooks before quizzes and tests (like, just once), it was a breeze. Well, multiple choice questions are. Essays are extremely difficult. MT Essay class avg: 1) 9/30 2) 11/30. It's ridiculous.

Good prof who get's the material across quite well. Assigns too much reading though if you ask me. Pretty funny too!

In general, this course is a HEAVY workload course, with quizzes every week, 3 midterms, an essay, and research participation! However, hard work definitely pays off in this class! This course is recommended for students who are amazing at memorization of terms and concepts. If not, (and it isn't a requirement) dont take it.

Prof. is funny and nice guy. However, materials are little bit harder than i expected. There are 3 midterms, 1 finals, and 8 quizzes..too much works for 1st year student.

he`s extremely energetic and tries really hard to keep you interested. quizzes and midterms and final were fair. it might`ve seem like a lot of work but it FORCED us to keep up with everything that needed to be learned. In the end, we were prepared for the final and had actually learned throughout the term.

he's awesome! although he talks most talks about what's in the text, he makes the material much more interesting. Also, he treats all students 100% equally.

Nice guy, although can be difficult to approach if you have a question. He can reply to you in a very sarcastic, condescending way. Exams for the most part were fair, as are this quizzes.

Great intro psych course. Lectures were interesting but not always relevant to the quizzes/exams. What's most important is to read and understand the textbook. Do the I-Clicker quizzes. Professor Day can be intimidating in person so if you have questions, ask your TM.

Great professor. The workload was pretty heavy for a 100 level course, but if you put in the time and do the work, it really pays off for exams and such. He is an entertaining professor, really enjoyed his classes!

Way too much work for a 100 level course. The quizzes are much easier than the exams. Class was interesting but make sure you keep up with reading because his lecture notes were useless.

He's a bit boring but very clear. Lectures can get boring too, but as long as you keep up with readings and do well on i-clicker quizzes, you're set. Seems like a nice guy though

Professor Day is an absolute delight. He is very enthusiastic about the material and a joy to listen to. His lectures don't do much to help with the quizzes and exams, though, so just study the book and you'll be fine.

Excellent speaker. Knows what he talks about. Class is straight forward and interesting for most chapters. Keep up with readings cuz quizzes are from the book.

The class is not very interesting, but if you read the textbook (actually READ it) the class is very easy. iClicker quizzes are on info from text, midterm is mostly textbook stuff also. Beware... he likes to frighten his class suddenly sometimes.

Russell is a great speaker. Though lectures are not mandatory for success in the course, lectures are very entertaining and worth the time. Make sure you read the textbook thoroughly and you'll do great in the course. Russell was very open to providing help during office hours. Great course overall.

Thought he was an awesome prof, very entertaining. Psyc 100 definitely isn't an easy walk in the park class. There is a lot of work, but it is do-able. The marking of the written sections on the last two midterms were brutal- so maybe try to better on the first one? #1 THING- READ THAT TEXTBOOK

Really enjoyable. Applies psychology topics to real life. Must buy and read the textbook. Quizzes (i-clicker) are on the text, exams are on lectures and text. Assignments aren't the greatest but if you follow directions and study, its really not hard to do well in his class!

Just do all the online questions and you'll be fine. He's an interesting guy. I found he was a fair marker for all except the assignment which didn't really make sense. Mickey Mouse course for sure.

Hillarious guy!! I thoroughly enjoyed all his classes. I could have done better in his class if I hadn't slacked off with my readings. DO ALL YOUR READINGS ON TIME and try to understand the content rather than just reading it and you'll easily ace the course! Definitely reccomend it!

Really enjoyed his class. Thought he was a good speaker, really helpful. The exams are hard, especially the essay parts. Quizes weren't too bad, they helped to know what to study for the exam. Do all the readings and take good notes. Overall, good prof.

Very tough course! Lots of content and GOOD LUCK on the essay portion of exams - they're marked very hard. Seems like a nice guy but comes across a little condescending. Interesting content, but lots of reading and you HAVE to keep up with it. iClicker tests are fair.

His lectures are really intriguing. Some concepts that you won't be able to understand by the book, he will make it easy to grasp during his lectures. The only difficult part is the essay questions he ask in his mid-terms.

GOOD: extremely strong lecturer/speaker. he knows exactly what hes talking about, and makes lectures so interesting that u dont wanna miss. BAD: a lot of work! be prepared to study every week, u have to bc quizzes. LONG chapters. its not hard, its just A TON of material to grasp in short time and lots of studying..lots of reading

Midterms are hard especially essay portions, iClicker quizzes are fair as long as you do the readings. Final is all MC which helps boost your mark. Interesting course but not an easy A (or even B)

I found the course very useful. Pay attention, study, and you'll find subsequent psyc courses so much easier. I printed out his slides posted on webct, listened, took notes, read a few case studies from the textbook and found it sufficient. Exams were quite hard, but if you review the material before you take them, you shouldn't have a problem.

he explains very thoroughly

Very friendly and approachable during office hours! Amazing lecturer and managed to keep my attention 24/7 in a 2 hour lecture! Only hard part are his essay questions...not enough time...

Essays are marked too hard and thoroughly, taking into account the small amount of time one has to write them.

Read the textbook lectures are useless and midterms are super hard

PSYC is not an easy, wishy washy course. It's a science, and should be studied with similar rigor. My only explanation for the negative ratings is that these students obviously did not try very hard in the course itself. Russell Day is an excellent prof, very funny and obviously passionate about his subject. Just do your readings, and take notes.

The clicker questions are not easy, they're scenarios and then you have to decide which theory it is referring to. If you're a person who usually just likes to study the powerpoint slides and not the textbook, tough luck because his slides contain no info. You'll only get a good mark if you really take the time to read every detail in the textbook.

Excellent prof! Interesting lectures, but only add background knowledge to the concepts. Study the textbook as everything is based off this. Marks the essays pretty roughly. It's possible to get a great grade in this course, but you need to treat it like a science instead of an easy 100 level course.

Great prof, loved his class. It's a very interesting course. Essays on midterms are marked quite hard but the final brings up the mark. Heavily textbook based course. He keeps his lectures interesting.

Can't decide whether or not I like him. Pros: VERY organized, clear, and pretty fair overall. Cons: Sometimes words questions in an unfavourable way, iClicker quizzes are kind of hard, midterm essay questions marked extremely hard. Very important to read the textbook in this course, as quizzes and midterms are based almost entirely on text

Dr Day is actually a really nice prof! The only thing that I dislike is his lecture notes are no help! Everything is based on textbook! Midterm consists of 30 mc and 2 essays and 90 mc for final! Despite his teaching style, he is a really nice person :) !

Nice Prof, you definitely need to read the text; lecture is kind of helpful. Essays questions are hard, but if you study hard you will get what you expected. Overall very fair marking and exams, recommended.

MY FIRST AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I'M SO HAPPY but seriously study don't cram everything the night before the final, you need 50% on the final to pass the course for psych 102...other than that you'll do great WOOOHOOOOOOO CHRISTMAS TIME BABY

very straightforward, very clear on what's expected.. however.. there's sooo many readings! it gets hard to keep up with all the textbook readings, quizzes and midterms.... the essay questions on the midterms are SUPER hard to get a good mark on, but the MC is always pretty easy. keep up with the readings and you'll be fine

Not bad. But you seriously have to read the textbook

I do not recommend him. The workload is extremely unreasonable. Be warned! Do not take both introductory Psych classes from him in the same semester. You will not have time for your other classes. Very nice man, but way too many quizzes, assignments, and exams.

Psych 100 = class I've ever had the misfortune of taking. I am currently 8% away from failing this god-awful horror show of a course. If you have ever had one of those nightmares where you take an exam and none of the words make sense, just know that those nightmares are the equivalent of kittens and butterflies. Day is a sweet dude, but run. Far.

Interesting Proffessor.

Interesting prof, passionate about the material. Exams have essays which kind of screw you over, make sure to read the assigned articles. The MC is easy. Overall the course is alright, not a GPA booster if not interested in psychology

Textbook based, seriously. Midterms were fair, though the essay questions are a bit hard. 90 MC for final.

Amazing professor; awesome course. Informative and simple

Dr. Day is wonderful! He is approachable and he makes lectures informative and interesting. :) The course has a lot of information so you have to keep up with the material. Read the textbook (iclicker quizzes are based on textbook material)! Exams are fair though the written portion can get tricky.

Dr Days grading scale is what really messed me over in this course. I got 80 in the course and got B on transcript, w/o any scalling. Important to mention that he has many many tests, quizzes etc. For the amount of work you put into the course, you wouldnt get the grade you deserve. If you have to take a course with him, do so, otherwise avoid him.

Amazing Prof, clear, easy to understand, passionate, didn't put me to sleep. Tough class though, mc questions are mostly situational and applying what you learned. Short answers were the toughest part.

This course requires heavy constant reading. You'll have to read like 5 pages everyday to do well in this course. Exams are somewhat fair. 48 multiple choice questions and an essay. The written part was VERY hard, not many people finished it on time. There are research programs that you'll have to make an extra appointment and participate.

Lectures aren't mandatory I never went to them unless there was a iclicker quiz (out of 10 and questions are straight from the textbook) or a midterm. Midterms mc questions are straightforward the essay is tough! Basically read the textbook and be good at memorizing. If you got those two things down this class is pretty darn straight forward!

Hardly anyone shows up to lecture its really optional. Several quizzes extremely easy and straight forward. Only hard part is the essays on the midterms and he drops big hints about what they're going to be so you can prepare for them. No surprised read the textbook listen to lectures and you're good to go, super fun class for me!

Great lecturer, keeps us all engaged. Lots of quizzes and midterms but they're easy enough if you read the textbook (which is a must since he bases the entire course off of it) His lectures aren't really that important if you read the textbook though, so don't worry about skipping now and then (or all the time)

A good majority of the lectures are not mandatory to attend, bc IClicker quizzes and exams usually revolve around the tb. LOTS of information to read over. (especially if you are taking this alongside PSYC100)

Format was 7 i-clicker quizzes and 4 term exams. We were graced with the opportunity of omitting our worst quiz and term exam. Quizzes were very straightforward, exams were a little tougher. Read the textbook to do well on MC, know how to critically apply and relate the material to do well on the written portion. Textbook Lectures.

Excellent class. He sets you up to do well and gives you everything you need to achieve a good mark. If you find yourself with a low mark at the end of the semester, it is your fault. Tests are fair, and he posts all of his notesrecordings. he lets you know exactly what to study for the exams. Weekly quizzes are a nice gpa boost. Would take again

It is quite a bit of work like you would expect from any introductory course, but material is straight-forward and interesting. Readings are long so keep up, but the content itself is not difficult. Most of the bad reviews are probably from people who didn't try hard enough and ended up with low marks. Put in the effort and you'll be fine!

Day is an awesome prof! Interesting lecture and never boring. Material can be dry but makes it interacting. 1 chapter reading per week and iclicker after every chapter. Written part of midterm can be tricky with time managing, MCQ are very situational. Would not recommend taking both 100102 together with this prof due to heavy reading.

Very funny lecturer that makes going to class worth it even though the audio can be found online. Tests and quizzes are straightforward and questions are based on the textbook readings.

Russell Day is a great prof. He knows what he's talking about, inside and out. Recommend him as a prof. I had him for Psych 100 and I look forward to taking future Psychology courses with him! The slideshows for his lectures are also posted online, which is a huge plus. Make sure you read the textbook!

Great prof. Lectures are interesting and engaging. He drops your lowest quiztest which is awesome. Expect to read 30-40 pages per week. The essay part can be tricky. We had to write essays for 3 of our exams and the average for the essay portion was slightly over 50%. Definitely expect to put effort in. I ended up with an A.

Great professor, keeps you engaged in lectures with i-clicker questions, videos etc. Very helpful and easy to talk to. The course requires a lot of reading ( 1 ch. per week), there is often either a quiz or test every week so keeping up with the material is essential. Essay questions are hard to do well on, average was 50%. Very interesting course!

Exams are hard, but the final is all multiple choice worth 40% of your grade. He is by far the greatest prof i've ever had. He makes the lectures very interesting and uses many examples to pull aside from the textbook. Textbook is mandatory. iclicker quizzes are fair if you read the textbook. All and all, great professor.

Good Proff, engaging throughout lecture. Lots of information to memorize. Using launchpad to read the textbook and taking practice tests were very useful for the iclicker quizzes. The essay portion of the exams are tricky, but just write down as many relevant points as possible. For the assignment, be sure to have enough time for research.

Long lectures, but he's easy to listen to. Makes jokes and uses videos often. His tests are made up mostly of things from the textbook.

Need a B-Soc that is both interesting and straightforward? Psyc is probably for you! Day is an amazing lecturer! Even if you have 2 hour lectures, he manages to make the topics seem very interesting and relatable. Slides are given and note taking is a breeze. Bi-weekly quizzes & 4 midterms + short cumulative. Read the text and you're good to go.

Seems like a pretty nice guy; he tried to make the lecture interesting. The lecture wasn't very helpful though, since you have to memorize everything in the book anyway. Test questions were pretty fair. He gives hints as to what the essay questions will be like. Overall, a pretty good choice for introductory psychology.

I give him props for trying to make the material interesting. Besides that: attending lectures not necessary unless exam/quiz day. There's lots to read (1 ch/wk), but quizzes help you stay on track. Tests are based off the text with essay/MC sections. Good guy, but not my type of prof.

Lectures were definitely optional; I stopped attending unless quiz/test and I still received a great grade, just make sure to read the text closely. Made dry material as interesting as possible when I did attend lectures. TA marking was great and appropriate for an intro course. Very approachable guy overall; called me dear when I spoke to him :)

If you're the type of student that never wants to attend class but still needs the motivation to study then this class is perfect. Only attended classes with quizzes or exams which motivated me to study even though I went once every week or two. Iclicker quizzes are easy marks while the exams are trickier because of the written sections.

For an intro psych course with pretty general material, Russell did a good job of making lectures fun to attend. However, they do feel pretty pointless and he has a tendency to go on tangents that don't show up on tests. But the class had 4 midterms and no final so that was a good thing!

Lectures are kind of pointless, as long as you read the textbook you are fine. However, he does occasionally drop hints for essay questions in class so attendance is beneficial. Easy class with 7 iclicker quizzes, 1 assignment, and 4 midterms. Lowest quiz and test dropped, so its easy to do well

Straight forward. His lectures are interesting and relevant to psychology, but not always relevant to what we're studying particularly. Often goes on tangents.

Dr. Day is my favourite prof at SFU so far. He's super friendly and always makes his classes fun (which is actually pretty useful for remembering the lecture content later). All you need to do to ace this course is read the textbook chapters and do the LaunchPad quizzes. Grading is super clear and generous (he drops your worst exam AND quiz).

Great experience. Buy the LaunchPad and textbook, do the launchpad questions and use quizlet to study. Easiest A+. 4 term exams (non cumulative) so just memorize the night before. 7 iclicker quizzes. Worst term exam and worst iclicker quiz mark gets dropped (very forgiving course). Easy A for sure! Prof is decent. But just read the textbook :)

Really enjoyed this prof! 4 midterms not cumulative. No "surprise questions" on exams, basically read the textbook, memorize the concepts and ideas and youll do great. The lowest quiz mark as well as the lowest test mark is dropped PLUS additional 6% for research participation. He tries to make lectures fun and engaging.

He is super entertaining and keeps lecture interesting. You can be successful in this class without attending lectures, except those where clicker quizzes or tests fall on. Make sure you read the text because lots of quiz content and test content correlate with chapter readings. Makes psych really interesting

Professor Day is a really nice guy, if you have any questions you can always email him and he'll reply very quickly. Attendance isn't necessary, unless for iClicker quizzes/exams. However he does give tips to what will be on the exam. READ YOUR CHAPTERS BEFORE YOU GO TO CLASS, it will help in the long run. Go to listen to his lecture.

Russell Day is a pretty good teacher. He is passionate about the material and his class was really interesting. There were 4 exams total which is kind of a lot but if you read the textbook chapters you will do well. The essay questions on the exams were really difficult so make sure you have an amazing ability to comprehend and apply material.

All his exams and quizzes are purely on the textbook. Lectures are definitely not mandatory. Just take note while you read and study the night before. Easy A.

Russell Day is a great prof to have for psych. He is passionate, engaging, and funny. He clearly outlines criteria in class and don't expect to get perfect if you skip lectures.

PSYC102 He is a very interesting professor, he really tries to engage his audience. He uses a lot of questions from the textbook, so as long as you study the textbook, you wont really need to attend lectures, but I recommend going for clarification.

tests are all textbook based.

Honestly not that bad, a lot of people complaining he has a lot of tests, but I think it's better because there's less material you need to study for the test. As long as you read the chapters and attend most of his classes you'll do fine on the exam. It's honestly not as bad as some people are saying it is

Weekly quizzes and iClicker questions so class is essentially mandatory. Knows the lectures by heart and is clearly interested in the topics. I was never bored some other students didn't like him. Extremely organized, all quizzes are planned in advance and grading is as in the syllabus. No feedback on the assignment. The etext site is very helpful.

He was really, really good at giving practical and helpful lectures. Prepare to read lots though. Quizzes were highly easy, Midterms were a little difficult but doable to get A's consistently if you don't slack off.

He is a great professor. If you go to class and do the work, ask questions in office hours, you're golden. He was so genuinely caring and kind and explained things really well when I went to office hours. If you put in the work and show up to class, you will do well. He is really great at explaining concepts and an overall great teacher/human.

Class was fair, especially considering COVID circumstances, he really did his best to accommodate the situation. Classes were important on days where there were iClicker quizzes, but overall test material focused on textbook readings.

Dr Day is a great lecturer, even though he says "in terms of" at the end of his sentences. Some of the quiz/exam questions are ambiguous, try not to read too much into them. He gives lots of opportunities to make up marks by dropping lowest exam and quiz scores and giving bonus questions. Entertaining lectures.

I have heard this man talk 4 times max. All I did was study the textbook and I finished with an A in the course. Quizzes and exams were fair with various types of questions. Assignment was straight forward. Love that he drops the lowest exam and quiz marks. Memorization and applying concepts is crucial to succeed in this course!!

Dr. Day truly cares about his students, especially since he allows for 2 of 6 quizzes to be dropped as well as 1 of 4 term exams! Although his lectures were hard to follow sometimes since they could get long and boring, the textbook will keep you well informed. I highly suggest him as a prof!

He drops 2/8 quizzes and 1/4 exams (lowest marks) which is really nice! It's a pretty straight forward course. His "narrated shows" are short compared to other classes but he still talks pretty slow so I recommend listening in 1.75x speed. If you study the textbook and watch the lectures at the same time you're golden!

Exams and quizzes were open book and based 99% on the textbook. 2/8 quizzes & 1/4 exams with the lowest score were omitted. A very nice prof but I stopped going to lectures because they were unnecessary and recorded. Only a couple of assignments and plenty of time to complete them. Overall, would take another class with him.

Super boring class, with some interesting chapters from the textbook. Dr. Day is a really nice and accommodating prof, very knowledgeable too. Would take a class with him again, as this class fosters independent learning.

I said it once, and i'll say it again, just read and study the textbook like your grade depends on it and this course will be the easiest A you have ever received in your academic career.

As long as you review the textbook heavily and understand the big ideas from just skimming through lectures youll do great! He is willing to omit 1 major test and a few quizzes and his test are not cumulative. Attending lectures are a choice.

Dr. Day is a very caring prof as he grades 6/8 quizzes and 3/4 exams. He understands that students are struggling with the online environment and he is very accommodating. I can't think of an issue with Dr. Day as his TA selection is good as well as his quizzes as they are based off the book. His lectures can be dry at times though.

I've taken both Psych 100 and 102 from him, both online, and they were my favourite classes both semesters. Professor Day's class, even though very textbook heavy, was a lot of fun. Online we had class meetings to ask our questions twice a week and all of the lectures were pre-recorded. Overall amazing prof, 10/10 would take again!

Dr. Day had short 30 minute lectures online, which were non-mandatory, but he gave previews about what we would be learning. Tests and quizzes were fair as long as you take time to read the textbook. We had open-book assessments, and he removed a test and two quizzes if you did poorly! But he definitely has a higher grading scale.

I got good vibes from Russell! Obviously a class with 400 people is not very personal and you do basically teach yourself from the textbook, but the quizzes/tests/assignments are very reasonable and I had a good experience in this class.

Honestly, if you do the readings weekly that are around 30 pages, take notes and understand the big ideas youll be fine. He drops the lowest exam scores, the only difficult part was the written assignments that the TAs marked extremely hard for a 100 level class.

In the fall and spring terms of 2022 Dr. Day did his class as a flipped course, meaning the lectures were online for you to watch on your own and then you came to class for assessments and question . He has received comments like this " He never taught anything in lectures, just made us read the textbook" are from students who didn't listen.

Day's recorded lectures are pretty dry but informative and get points across. But his in-person lectures are more hit or miss since he expects the heavy lifting to be done by his recorded ones. His tests, assignments and quizzes are challenging but mostly fair since they pull from the textbook.

I took both 100+102 with prof Day. He was definitely one of the best profs I have had. He has lots of options to earn a good grade ( through quizzes , tests , and in class writes ) and everything is pulled straight from the textbook. You just have to spend 2 hours doing the reading a week at most, and you will be good :)

reading the textbook and taking notes go a long way in this course. i encourage attending his in-person lectures; they can be helpful and he tells you what to focus on. recorded lectures aren't needed to do well. the TAs that mark the written assignments can be hard markers! exact same format as psyc 100, just different content.

as long as you read the textbook, take notes, and understand what you just read and took notes on -- you're set. i suggest attending his in-person lectures because they can be helpful and he tells you what to focus on. recorded lectures aren't needed to do well. the TAs that mark the written assignments can be hard markers!
