VERY EASY PROF! GIVES QUESTIONS TO TESTS... IN OTHER WORDS.. AN EASY A!!
Very easy class. He is HILARIOUS! Has only 2 exams, each is short and he reads through each question on the test a few days before the test date. Easy A!
Dr. Einsenman was a cool tacher. His reviews were easy and the tests were the same. He gets you really involved in the calss and cracks a lot of jokes. he is an awesome and easy professor.
He is a great and funny professor. Lectures are very interesting and his reviews are 90% the same as the test. He is very funny and tries to get everyone involved in his lectures. Recommend!!
awesome class! if you need to take psychology you should take him! it's super easy and he's funny ;)you always get out early and you get the questions to the test.
VERY FUNNY PROF. HIS CLASS IS SUPER EASY HE GIVES YOU A REVIEW EXACLY AS THE TEST. VERY INTERESTING CLASS. GUARANTEED AN A FOR THIS CLASS.
THIS TEACHER IS VERY FUN AND ENTERTAINING! HIS REVIEW ARE EXACLTY WHATS ON THE TEST. OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO STUDY AND COME TO CLASS. BUT HE KNOWS WHAT HES TALKING ABOUT AND VERY INTELLIGENT. VERRY FUNNY AND DOWN TO EARTH. I LOVE THIS GUY AND ILL NEVER FORGET EM. OH YEAH I GOT AN "A" IN THIS CLASS
super easy class!! take it with him. he is super funny, makes class super easy, only 2 test of about 33 multiple choice questions. SUper easy class!!!
Oh my god...what an EASY class this was! He takes roll every time but gives you 3 chances w/o consequence. He practically gives you the test and answers in the review -- so DEFINITELY show up for it! There is no way you cannot get an A in this class.
This class was easy and fun.WARNING:If you are a Psych major please don't take this class!!Unless you are willing to do work not requested from you and learn the full scope of introductory Psychology without adequate guidance from Dr. Eisenman, then don't sell yourself short with this class.I would've learned more with a more challenging professor.
Easy professor. Easy class. Easy A.
This was the easiest class I have ever taken.....seriously. He gives you the test answers as a review! I had a lot of fun in his class and he's super nice and funny...
This professor is so AWSOME!!! his class was super easy. u just need to attend when he gives the reviews and i assure you that u will pass the exams. at times it would get boring because he would crack up jokes that were not even funny.. But if u want an esay class take HIM!!
EASY CLASS!!! TEST REVIEW EXACTLY AS THE TEST. Attend test review sessions, it helps greatly. there is no excuse to get a B in this class.
THIS CLASS WAS AWSOME. IF YOU NEED TO TAKE THIS CLASS TAKE IT WITH HIM!!HE IS VERY ESAY!! AND FUN
take him!!! easy A. he gives u a review a day after the test you just have to show up the days of the review and the days of the tests
easiest A i have ever recieved!
Professor Eisenman is the best! He is seriously the funniest man ever! The lectures consist of Eisenman's prison experiences (as a psychologist in a California prison) and his repetition of the phrase "I stopped smoking marijuana and drinking in 1973". Easiest A I have ever gotten--the study guides are identical to the tests. I AM NOT KIDDING.
You are an IDIOT if you allowed yourself to earn anything less than an A+ in his class. I got a 100 on both exams we took--EXTREMELY EASY. Nice professor as well.
Easy A i assure you. There were only 2 tests and they were exactly the same as the review.
TAKE HIM!! EXTREMELY EASY! HE TALKS ON AND ON. EASY ON ATTENDANCE. HIS REVIEWS ARE THE SAME TEST QUESTIONS! TWO TESTS AND GOT 100 ON BOTH!
He is wayyy to easy! If you're a psychology major I DO NOT recommend you take him. You will learn nothing that will help you. Vey interesting and witty fellow, the test are exactly like the study guide...same order and everything. If you love to talk...take this class.
BEST PROFESSOR FOR 1310. All you need to to get an A is to go the class meeting before the test to write down the answers for the test (he calls a review). Then just memorize the answers and get an A on test day. Only 2 tests. The guy kinda limps, but makes these funny sounds when he is making "surveys" in class. Youll understand when you take him.
I think this professor wants to set a record for best rating in PANAM. Easiest class in the world. Guaranteed A, even the a high school dual enrollment student who is blind and a little deaf got an A, and that student only came to class twice.
i took psychology 1310 and this was the easiest class in the world. I loved it. Dr. Eisenman has a great sense of humor and is in a good mood 24/7. We had a total of 3 tests and we had a review for each test and he gave us the answers. The test is exactly like the review. You will get a 100 on each test. Take this class. You will get an A!!
Awesome professor. He's funny and keeps the class awake. Tests are very, very, easy.
Summary: if you can't pass this class, you seriously need to reconsider college...
Your grade is based on two tests. He reviews before the tests, providing you will all the questions and answers to it, well except for a few that are easy to look up in the book anyway. He tries to emphasize attendance but only enforced it once; some people only show up to the reviews and the tests. Virtually impossible to fail this class.
EASY! EASY! EASY! Got an A which is kinda hard not to. So long as you go the day of the review, you'll pass.
AMAZING! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. HE IS MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR SO FAR. AWESOME SENSE OF HUMOR.
Awesome professor! Super easy and always cracks jokes, great sense of humor. There's only two test grades for the whole semester and he gives a verbal review a few days before the test so as long as you write down what he says for the review you'll be guaranteed an "A".
awesome teacher..he was pretty fuun and his test are super easy..im not the smartest person in the world but i passed wit a B so you can do it..attendence isnt manditory all u need to do is go to the review be4 the test n ur set
Extremely easy Professor! He's really funny! His reviews are word for word on the test and attendance is not really mandatory, he'll take it at random and if your absent a lot then he'll call your name every time. Other than that no HW, no final, and no midterm just 2 exams and very easy! EASY A!!!
Excellent Prof! He's really funny and has really interesting stories from his career as a psychologist. Only 2 tests, no final. The tests are just like the review. Easy A !
Take this professor, it's the easiest "A" you will ever get!!!
great professor! his exams are easy.....makes lectures fun and easy to understand...he is always making jokes.....i recommend him...easy A!
He has a great sense of humor always has interesting stories from previous experiences. Tests are very easy you have to be a real idiot not to get an A.
Easy professor. He gives you the answers to his exams and doesn't require much studying or reading. He likes his class to be involved in his lectures. Overall a great professor. An easy A!
Easiest class ever!! Attendance is mandatory but his class was always so fun and interesting. Test are exact word for word as study guide done in class!! TAKE HIM!!
Very funny professor at first. Gets annoying & old after a while. Other than that he is a very nice professor, his test are easy. he reviews a day before exam. gives you word by word on whats gonna be on the exam. Study it n itll be an easy A. don't need the book. I bought it n i didn't use it n i got an A
Some points about this professor: 1. don't buy the book. i promise you that you will NOT need it 2. attendance isn't necessarily mandatory 3. only 3 exams; no final. he has a review the class before the exam in which he has the exam in his hand and is literally reading off of it feeding you the answers and 4. want an EASY EASY EASY A+?? take him.(:
very easy class ,easy A you will not use the books at ALL!!! he is very friendly there is a total of 3 exams from which he gives us a review almost exactly like the test attendance is mandatory!
He is sooo funny and nice! He loves telling stories and putting psych youtube videos up. Before the tests he gave us a review. The class was an easy A as long as you go to every class and make the review because he throws out hints! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Freakishly easy professor. Seriously, take him. Gives an exam that is exactly like the exam. Just do the review. He does randomly call attendence so it's best to show up. I seriously don't know how anyone manages to get anything less than an A.
The best professor their is. I hated the fact that several students spoke over him. But you will learn alot from him. Make sure you go to his reviews though. Exams are easy if you study your review.His jokes are awesome and is down to earth. Great professor overall:)
Dr. Eisenmann is awsome, he is a very funny person! He gives reviews day before the test, DO IT! because it is exactly like the test. Always takes attendance but randomly (so if i were you, I'd go to class), he lets you out early anyways. VERY EASY A! Gives few extra credit opp, but you really dont need them!!
Warm and cuddly, probably one of the most interesting professors at UTPA. Warning though: he did not go over the entire review in our class. I even attended other classes of his, and he gave us maybe half total. So don't expect to just show up one day and get 100's either. Regardless, very managable class. Take it along hard ones for an easier A.
Only gives out 3 exams i personaly don't like that. He is easy but don't kind yourseld, study for this test because it is easy. For his test he asks for the scantrons that are the size of a paper, and they're blue.
he's easy, take him! and attendance is mandatory.. he'll give an in-class review before tests and it is exactly like it, he's the best!
Seriously the best professor I've had!!! Easy class but I did learn a lot from it his topics are interesting and cut to the point.
really great professor, you have to buy his book that he wrote and the customized psy. book he customized. recommend him. selling both of the books required for in total of $80. msg me if interested: [email protected]
He is Super funny, his tests are easy, and if you attend class you will get an A, just go to class pay attention and you'll get an A!
I love him!!! He is so sweet and funny! It's a super easy A. Take him. His classes are interesting and mandatory the first few weeks but i dont see why anyone would miss this class. :)
Very easy class, he randomly takes attendance, so its better to show up. He is funny and makes class interesting and he also lets you out early most of the time. Really recommend taking him. the test aren't hard so there's no reason to fail.
Awesome professor. Through out the semester I looked forward to his class. There is never a boring moment in the class. He always had jokes and stories to tell. This man is amazing! Sign up NOW!
TAKE HIM. 'NOUGH SAID!!!
looks like Santa Claus, has a cute laugh..I haven't missed a single class because it's so fun.Encourages discussion, talks about sex a lot & very insightful about the subject. There are only 2 tests so recording his lectures are crucial.Sit in the front, take GOOD notes, ask questions. No assignments, never takes attendance, always 10 minutes late!
very humorous! his laugh is super cute! he make pay interesting! 2 tests and that it no final! highly recommend him! must attend class as well.
Worst professor I've had. Maybe others rated him highly because he reminds us of Santa but he gives a 20 minute lectures. He shows a lot of YouTube. Reads the statistics in the back of book. He just says read half the book and that will be the first test and read the rest for second. He required attendance but he didn't seem to want to be there
Spoke about random topics. Rarely covered book. Used a lot of video that wasn't about class. Then started taking off points for missing class after half the semester
I honestly didn't like his class. Sure it was easy, but I didn't learn anything from it. He only takes 2 tests for a grade so if you bomb one might as well drop, he didn't try to help me with my grade and I paid attention. I didn't think his jokes were that great. He talks about his personal life and working in prison and lacks at technology stuff.
He was a pretty useless teacher. He makes you go to class but its pointless. Easy A but its going to be a long semester with him. Very sarcastic and tries to be funny but fails miserably.
He's changed over the years.. No more extra credit, just 2 tests to determine your entire grade. Sounds easy, but he is very unclear & all lectures are verbal. 2 points from an A & he was totally unhelpful/unsympathetic. Interesting discussions (lots of sex), but a waste of time--always late & dismissed us early. If you need an A, DO NOT TAKE HIM!!
This class was not hard at all, I recorded his lectures which helped a lot! So do that. 2 exams, all about what we covered in class and 2-4 of them from the book. I lost my recorder and my notes before the first exam during springbreak and i still passed it with an 85, then got a 98 on my second. If you study and review, it should not be hard @ all
His office is very neat and organized. I think he is the bomb.
I took intro to psychology. Super easy. He does take attendance. So be there. Class always ends early and starts late. He tends to repeat lots of stories and jokes but he's pretty funny. His tests are super easy. He has a review session because the exams and pretty much tells you what will be on the exam during that session.
This class is honestly an easy A. Unfortunately, I got a C in the class because I thought I could pass by only paying attention to the lectures and oral review, thus proving me wrong. I highly recommend getting the books and attending every class as they usually end pretty early. He only provides two tests with no extra credit.
He only gives out TWO TESTS that's it! There's NO EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITITES so if you fail the tests then you will fail the class because he doesn't even give assignments either
I never know what he is talking about. Only 2 exams and reviews are verbal. He rarely takes attendance, only mentions a few names not everyone's. A lot of reading. Basically, you teach yourself.
TAKE SOMEONE ELSE. His class is actually easy to pass if you read. Only 2 exams based on his books, but if you fail those exams then you fail the class. No homework, no quizzes, no extra credit. His class is a waste of time, he doesn't teach and always ends it early. His little review doesn't even help. Do not recommend.
This class isn't as hard as some people make it out to be. We only had 2 exams on and he gave a verbal review for each. I honestly think some people were just lazy. I procrastinated a lot when it came to the readings but it was all in the books and the verbal reviews he gave were really helpful. Rarely took attendance.
Not a hard class at all. You really do need to get minor details from his lectures because he will literally ask on the exam "how many dreams do we have per night" and it will be the number he said verbally in his lecture. Just take good notes and be there for the review. Never read the big book besides terms, got A+. DO read the small book!
Easiest class ever. If you attend class. All answers to questions on exams are given during lectures. 2 exams total. No extra credit. 1 book needed. He does get off topic A LOT. Know when to pay attention. Only calls some names off the roster.
He lectures consist of him going over a book he published. The other psychology book wasn't needed cause he lectured over the textbook in class. There was two tests throughout the whole semester. The tests are fairly easy if you show up to class. He counts attendance on random days. Other than that he jokes around during class & lets it out early.
His lectures are entertaining and not too long so you don't get bored or distracted. There are only 2 tests but if you go to most of the classes they will be a walk in the park after reading the chapters.
Best professor ever he's really funny and willing to help his students. There's only 2 test's and gives you the answers on the review. Also, you have to participate in studies for 4 hrs for extra credit on your final grade. Easy class highly recommend him.
You do not have any assignments for this class. You would only have 2 tests and have to participate in a SONA. He gives you a study guide and the tests are exactly what he goes over in class.
I love his class, i want to take him again!
He loves to throw jokes into his lectures which makes the class a lot more interesting. He only gives two tests and they're both based off of the review he goes over. It's very easy to get high grades on both. He gives extra credit on attendance, but never actually took attendance.
Best class ever! Only two exams but just show up to class and take notes because he will literally give you the answers. Lectures are hilarious!
He's really funny and does his best to make the class enjoyable. Only has two tests and the chapters from his book are very short and easy to read through. He always has a review before each exam and they're all easy.
I just loved him, and I'll just missed him (:
Dr. Eisenman is the funniest professor I've ever had! He's such a sweetheart as well and a real gem. Class consists of two exams, one partially over general psychology terms and partially over his book, and the second entirely over his book. He gives reviews before each exam, as well.
Great professor. He is very knowledgeable and funny. A good portion of his class consisted of discussions in class. I recommend taking notes when told to and reading the chapters from his book that are required. The tests aren't difficult if you just review your notes. Get the study participation done early.
Dr. Eisenman is one of my favorite professors so far! I enjoyed taking his class because his funny sense of humor! The class consists of two exams and two state essays (one page each) that are required. He doesnt take attendance, but if you dont go, youll probably not do well on exams. Buy his book and read assigned chapters if you to pass exam
By far one of the best professors!! Hes extremely easy. Only two exams for his class and during his lectures he gives you the answers so write everything he says down. You are required to read (because they will be on the exam) but they are easy chapters. Passed his class with a 100. His test are also a joke so its honestly not hard.
Great professor!
Easy A. Exams are EASY. He does a verbal review of the exam , you just write down what he says, study it, and you'll pass. There is only 2 exams, and some research you have to complete through SONA. you'll need the book in order to read the chapters that he will put in the exam, he does not go over those chapter answers because he wants you to read
Worst class I've taken. His psychology class LACKS the psychology aspect of it. Book is needed but it's his own book, it discusses case studies and some occasional opinions from when he was a clinical psychologist. The class was moved to online due to the virus, it's very hard to communicate with him and his reviews are not helpful when taking test
This class is simple, it consists of two easy exams being majority of the grade and 10% of simple research that is based outside of the classroom (online). Hes actually really cool and funny and the class is pretty chill, just pay attention and take notes that way you can pass the exam. I was supposed to get a B but Eisenman gave me an A.
Most chill professor I've ever had, super hilarious too. EASY A!
Had to take Eisenman asynchronous due to covid. We didn't do much because he doesn't really know how to work the internet. Had to read his book, along with another PDF. 2 exams. No webcam. He was overall a good professor.
Asynchronous. Structure is as mentioned in the previous review + 4 required SONA credits (study participation). Very chill class, completely based on his book and a PDF, but the chapters were very short; easy A. Would not recommend for a psychology major at all, though, as the class is somewhat lacking - I lowkey regret choosing this one.
Amazing professor, overall VERY easy. Out of the entire semester we just took 2 tests and that's it, no homework, no discussions, and the tests are SUPER easy. All you need is the textbook, which is pretty expensive, but you can use it throughout the test and you're bound to get an A on both of the tests, plus he gives you over 2 hours to complete.
Just take him!!! Amazing professor, super funny. Just 2 exams gives you a review to study over and are fairly easy! Hes amazing.
Look this is an easy professor but he taught me nothing. If you actually want to learn psych stay far away from this professor. He uses his own book and claims it's a textbook when in reality he is just teaching you his own opinions. He is also very hard to get ahold of and only seems to want to do the bare minimum. Would NOT recommend at all!
I LOVED watching Professor Eisenman's videos that were posted. They were so funny. We were given two textbooks to read from. One that taught introductory psychology, and the other was his textbook. We only had two tests, but he was hard to get ahold of, according to my peers. If you want an easy A, take his course.
