he comes off very mean but once you get to know him he is very cool

He gives a good amount of extra credit. You can easily get a good grade as long as you put forth the effort for extra credit. He seems really mean at first, but after a few classes he is very nice to talk to.

he is a tough teacher, but a good one. I learned alot of things and hes a really good guy. willing to work with you and gives a good understanding

Very, very easy.Didn't even have to go to class much. Let you know up front what he expects & when its due. Just do the work and ask him questions if you get lost or confused. It was an easy A, and he seemed really nice.

He is tough at first but, if you put in the work he is willing to help you a lot. Give him a chance and be prepared to work and you can easily get an A

He is a straight forward guy who lets you know what he wants. Do the work thats expected of you and you will get a good grade. Journal helps with studying and terrible 10's help with learning everyday. Though its a beginners class, you learn alot. Took it before and failed it and he made it easier.

Comments all true. He comes off tough,once you get to know him, he is a ****cat.He is a bit absentminded, with all that knowledge rumbling around in his head it is understandable.Work with him,instead of against him you will succeed.That is not to say you can't argue,a war of words is fun with him.

I really enjoyed this class. It was almost like you and your classmates taught yourselves together. It it a good way to get the students to actually do the work.

You guys are absolutely crazy. Sam Gaft was my absolute favorite teacher. After taking psyc with him, I was able to walk in to my psyc classes at MSU and 4.0 no problem. Great sense of humor, helped me write my Val speech, wrote me a ref. letter.. I love that guy! I still e-mail him! take psyc with Gaft! Everyone that complains is just lazy!

mr. gaft is the best teacher that i have ever had at macomb. very straight forward. i always knew what to expect from him. lots of oppurtunities for extra credit. not to mention he gave the friggin essays you could chose from before the exam. how hard is that? ,may not have been approachable in class, but never turned me away when i had an issue

Pretty good teacher. Make shure to do the lab notebook as well as the PsycSim book because they can pull your grade up if you don't do well on the tests. Also make shure to take notes every day because they count for extra credit points twards each test.

This professor was very scholarly. Although you must follow the syllubus and do much of the work on your own, he prepared every class with daily quizes (which end up being test questions) that you can keep and are not held against you. They only counted as extra credit. Class was always interesting with real life clips and stories.

While he was a bit unorganized, I took a liking to Professor Gaft. I found it lame many complained that he actually gave homework..it was a human sexuality class and i learned a lot. The work was too easy, and I got an A no problem.

He gave so many opportunites for students to do well in his class that it would be next to impossible to fail... Unless you don't go to class, because attendance is required and reflects on your grade if too much class time is missed. He is unclear on some things but is easy to contact and responds immediately.

Great teacher! Gives tons of extra credit opportunities.

This teacher was awesome. I absolutley loved his class, because he was a bit unconventional and he didn't spoon feed you your A's and B's, he made you work for them while still making sure the material was understood. He's a funny guy if you know how to take a joke, a bit disorganized, and I would certainly recommend him.

i took 3 of his classes and he is an awesome teacher. read the chapters and study the daily quizes. i did and got a's every test, and im not an a student! he may come off as jerk at first but he's just really sarcastic. my favorite teacher at macomb!!

Keep up with the reading and do all of the extra credit available! I got a 110%. But don't take crap from students.

An awesome teacher!!!

Excellent class with some actually substance to it. I learned as well as got the credit I needed. I recommend this teacher to anyone who wants to further their education and in fact learn some insightful information. If you don’t care about anything, don’t take it.

Dr. Gaft is a wonderful teacher. This class was very easy and Dr. Gaft made it fun.

Brillant teacher.

Good professor, rambles on a bit, but very knowlegable. There is alot of work but he gives many opportunities for extra credit. Would recommend, be prepared to work though.

Excellent Human Being.

Why cant there be more teachers like him. Extremely educated and knowledgeable. Recommended to anyone who appreciates knowledge.

Professor was very insightful. I enjoyed the class a lot. The tests were easy, but you do have to study. Overall a great professor, and would recommend him to anyone.

How does one person know so much about everything? Academically advanced especially when you compare him to other teachers.A glaring example of what an intellectual truly is. Good class and good teacher only if you enjoy learning and growing. If not , dont take his class. I got an A.

Gaft was an amazing teacher and a wonderful person! His class was fun and I learned a lot!

Truely a professional! Great opportunity to learn from a brilliant professor--IF you are there to learn. Otherwise you will find him him "disorganized and boring". He will ALWAYS be there for his students-unlike many of the "awesome" and/or "hot" professors who won't remember you beyond the semester-Try getting a reference from one of them.

Professor Gaft is a great teacher. He makes the class fun for the students, and the material easy to learn. His class is structured in a way that encourages peer interaction and also perpetuates the learning process. I would definitely recommend Professor Gaft to anyone who is creative and has an interest in psychology.

Awesome instructor. Made the class fun. Nothing that was expected was out of reason. He is older, but full of interesting and useful information. I still go to see him about many different matters! One of the best teachers at MCC!!

Interesting class. Looking up his CV, he has loads of degrees from UofM. Very knowledgeable, and a wealth of information. The posted be4 me,the 39 yr old who has " 103 credits at MCC " should not be listened too. There's a reason she has 103 credits and hasn't transferred yet. Good class, and if you show up, do the work, you'll get an A.

Interesting class all around. At times he makes jokes no one understands, but the man is brilliant. Talk to him after class and ask a question. Really enjoyed the class and im taking a summer class with him also. If you show up, do the extra-credit,and occasionally study, you'll get an A. Best teacher at Macomb by far.

Took him 3 times. Good class. Hes fun. I learned a lot and I liked the material. If you want to do anything with psychology or understanding people, take his class. I went to class and studied for the exams. I got an A.

I ended up realizing what major I should pursue because of his course. I am now majoring in educational psychology. The man is smart, he knows it all. I advise everyone to take his class while they can, one of the best at macomb.

Wow this man should be the president of macomb. He has tons of degrees and is probably the smartest teacher i had at macomb. The class was fun, like every1 said, do the home work and pay attention, you will get an a. will take his class aghain.

Professor Gaft is an extremely intelligent individual. Yes he is a bit older but comes to class with a plethora of knowledge. If you are focused, work hard and care about what he teaches you will do well in the class. What an exceptional instructor, truly inspiring.

This guy is awesome. Hes been around, and knows a lot. Take his class if you can. He gives enough extra credit and you will learn a lot. I took his class twice. Highly recommended.
