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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
