I learned a lot from this class. This professor is easy to understand. His lecture slides were clear too. Some exam questions came from the lectures only. They're not on the lecture slides or book, so attend lecture. But if you don't get all those lecture-only questions, extra credit should cover it.

This is my 2nd time taking Professor Godfrey! He is an amazing teacher and his class is not hard at all. He is very caring and answers fast when you have a question or concern. You can use notes on tests so take good notes on the slides! He is such a great teacher I definitely recommend him! :-)

Great professor. Probably an essay a or b. I took winter online and it was not too hard to keep up with. I barely used the book. Literally only to paraphrase a few things for a paper. The class was interesting. Extra credit. Easy grader. I got 100s for the writing assignments.

Professor Godfrey is a super respectable instructor and you will receive full support from him, communication is key. He truly inspired me to do so much more within the field of Psychology. If you plan on taking any of his courses, I suggest creating a study group or connecting with other fellow scholars. I wish he taught more courses!

I took Professor Godfrey's online class. There is a textbook, but it was provided free through a PDF. Most of the assignments are quizzes and discussion posts. There is an exam each module, and there are a few writing assignments. All the quizzes and exams are open note. Great class, would definitely recommend.

Took him for the Winter Session 2022, while working full time and raising my kiddo. If you read the material, you should be good.

His modules are well organized, you have a decent amount of quizzes ( untimed) and an exam for those CHs bi-weekly (timed ) and only 2 written assignments throughout the semester but he provides samples and you have a clear understanding of what he asks of you. If you have any issues he is great at responding back to address your concerns.

My only regret is not taking professor Godfrey before for all of my psych classes. This professor is amazing. Please take him if you come across his class. Most of his work is based on lectures. He breaks everything down and tests you based on that. His lectures can be heavy but are very informative and ultimately the only thing you need to pass.
