great professor.
Great professor... Makes class interesting... Talks about all types of stuff not just book related! TAKE HIM! Trust me you won't regret it at all!!!
He's super funny... a lil crazy at times but makes class very interesting. Open book Midterm AND final! Doesnt just teach from the book but teaches hands on methods to better yourself... its like going to a psychologist but free...LoL
Awesome and extremely interesting
this professor is a wonderful instructor. his teaching methods are out of this world. take this professor i promise you, you won't regret it. this professor is a real treat, take his class.
Awesome teacher, person, and friend. He really cares about his students and about making a difference in their lives. He hopes that every student gains something from his class. Just have a positive mind set and you'll love his class and gain a wonderful perspective of life, urself, and/or others.
HE is an AWESOME TEACHER!!! He did not give any test's! No mid-Term and No FINAL!!! He just made the class do Summaries for each chapter in the book and a Paper and that is it. His class is super FUN and Very Interesting.He is a Caring Person!! Oh and a very very very good Psychologist!! I recommend this class to Everyone! In a rating of 1-10: 10!!
I had this man at 7:00 in the morning. He kept my interest in the class and my attention. I would recommend him to anybody who wants to learn but at the same time have fun along the way.
THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!!!!!!VERY EASY, BUT INTERESTING CLASS. THE BEST OF THE BEST!
The best that a teacher could be. caring, respectful, effective, flexible, understanding, ontime and so many other good adjectives and adverbs. He gives you confidence to move and be optimistic about your future.
Great teacher! Very wise -- not just smart but wise. His class is incredibly easy! He is fun to be around with and shares very interesting and inspirational stories that make you want to succeed in life. If you do his two projects it is a guaranteed A+. Great GPA booster.
this was my favorite class ever and Prof. lopez is amazing hes teh bessttt take him!!! he makes learning funn and really interesting!!!!! Take the class trustt meeee
Great teacher... he knows that you don't have to suffer to learn, I wish i could take him for some of my other classes.
I LOVE HIM! HE'S THE BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD... HE LEAVES AN IMPACT ON YOU ONCE YOU LIVE HIS CLASS! I RECOMMEND THIS CLASS TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HAVE A GOOD TIME AND LEARN SOMETHING AT THE SAME TIME! TAKE HIM YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
Gifted, caring professor who has the best interest of the students at heart. If you use half of what he taugh, you will have an exceptional life. Would absolutely take any class he teaches in the future.
He is a really good professor, you just have to do 14 chapter summaries and a 3 page paper about a key term in the book, but its really easy because he makes it very simple, and you have the whole semester.If you take him you'll never regret it, and the class he makes it very interesting.
Great professor had him for Spring 05 term, very easy work, very entertaining you'd hate to miss class, isn't strict with attendance, gave only 3 assignments for the semester take home mid-term and final with about a month and a half in advance and one project, very caring teacher easy A as long as assignments are completed and turned in.
Amazing!!! He is the most wonderful teacher I have ever had. He is definately very influential and a very gifted man. I highly recommend you take any class he teaches. You won't be disappointed. Very funny and very interesting!!!
I really enjoyed the class and I told all my friends about yu and I look forward to seeing you in another class!
He was an amazing teacher. He explained everything clearly. The way he graded was extremely fair
i LOVED this class. it was so interesting that i looked forward everyday to go to that class. i never wanted to miss it. the way he taught was so clear that he made sure that u understood. very opened minded and great teacher. i definitely recommend him for whatever he's teaching. and if ur lookin for help u can totally go to him. awesome teacher!
It was definitely the easiest class I've ever taken. He makes it very enjoyable and fun to be a part of. I rarely missed class, and when I did, I regretted it. I would HIGHLY recommend this professor to anyone who wants to enjoy a class while at the same time still learn.
Dr. Sam was AWESOME. The class goes by and you feel as if hes just telling you cool stories about patients he's helped but as it turns out when you go home and read the book what he talked about is exactly what you were supposed to be learning. Ive learned more in this class than any other.
Best teacher Ever!!! super nice & super easy. Makes learning fun. You actually want to go to class. I highly recommend this teacher.
This teacher was amazing. He's a psychologist on the side and always takes time in b/w classes or after class to help with anything. His assignments are easy A's. I definited Aced his class. Definitely recommend it.
He's a cool professor..Shown patient, a lot of consideration and approachable..no rooms for boredom when you are in his class=). .full of humors and will make you feel so comfortable saying your own opinions..and most of all, gives fruitful words everyday!..Thanks professor!'Hope i will still see you around..Goodluck and stay as cool as you are!=')
He is an awsome teacher. His class is easy and I took it in Summer B. I aced this class. I learned alot in his class. He wants you to learn and he makes damn sure of it. I definately recommend that you take him for this class, you will regret it if you don't. I can promise you that.
Dr. Sam is one of the best professors I ever had. He is very profesional and tells you exactly what you need in order for you to get a good grade. He gives assignment that are duable and straight to the point. He is very considerate and helps you a lot. His classes are not boring because he keeps them very interesting.
Fun teacher, great class, easy A!
Dr. Sam is a kind, bright individual who makes an effort to give his students insight into many aspects of psychology.It's an engaging class and the midterm and final are take home multiple choice tests. You have to write one paper in the class and everything else is discussion and participation. It's an easy A but you learn at the same time.
He is the best psychology teacher ever, He is funny and cares about his students . You should totally take his class
This professor is the best!!!...and super super interesting, he is also funny and nice. This was one of my favorite class..
best professor i ever had in 3 years of experience on miami dade college kendall campus. Dr. Sam was honest and more than motivated on each class even though it was 9 am of every morning he would wake you up! His classess is not like others, some teachers think that by takin exams the whole semester is the way to learn but Dr Sam was totally differ
Dr. Lopez is defintely the best professor ive ever had in miami dade college-kedall. He is straight foward, honest, and has no problems answering any questions in the class. The class was an essay A, makin sure you show up everyday in class and on time. I makes sure you u know where u stand in class in grades, attendance, etc. Defintely reccommend!
he was one of the best professors i have ever had. he made the class so interesting, i was sad it was only in the summer for 6 weeks. definitely take him for any class he teaches. im sure it will be interesting too.
hes the best!!!
Nice prof, good class ! Do all work and would get an A!
he is the best teacher he is crazy and cool and knows how to make learning fun.
Dr. Sam is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He made the material, and just about everything he ever said, interesting and relatable to everyone. He also took time out of his busy schedule to talk to me about the field of psychology and his academic journey. The guy had a real impact on my life and he'll touch yours too!
He's a great teacher... he'll change ur life if u let him, and u'll be a better person. he takes time to talk to u if u need it and he'll make the class interesting...i truly recommend u take a class with Dr. Sam
EASY A. A SWEETHEART. Some stuff he teaches is sketchy, but I was never bored. I recommend him. NOTE: He makes you watch a RIDICULOUS movie called "The Secret" which is the dumbest theory EVER. I can't understand how anyone believes that New Age nonsense. The proponents of it are shunned by all REAL physicists. (I was passionately annoyed by it.)
He is more than a teacher he is a life tutor and a friend.
Awesome teacher. Life learning.... Really teaches about overcoming Traumas and way of Life. I'll love to takew his class again. Str8 A's in his course
one of the best teachers in mdc all we had to do was go to class and summarize the chapters no tests or quizes he makes the class very interesting and funny
His class is entertaining, educational but somewhat intrusive. There is a big chance he will perform physiological treatment on you. It’s nothing bad, and from the looks of it a lot of people appreciate it, especially those who got over their fears. He is a trauma hunter he-he. He is probably the funniest professor in MDC. Easy A.
A taste of freedom. NO test..just summarize each chapter and listen in classes, you would probably get a lot out of it...
Great teacher...best one you can ask for.. and best one you can and will ever have =DDD
I never use to goto his class but one day i decided to go, after that i made sure i never missed a class.. this guy changed my view on life. hes the best professor ive ever. Not only did i gain knowledge from this class but i gained a friend.
WOW!!! This teacher is one of the best teachers at Dade. You will leran so much and have so much fun with this professor. You wont regret it at all. I wish he tought more classes here. No FINAL OR MIDTERM! just 3 Papers (2 Summaries and 1 Preference paper of 1 topic..)SUPER EASY. You'll Walk Out With a Friend and Satisfied!
This guy is great. He loves what he does and is pretty slack. I took this class and theres 2 rules you gotta follow to pass with an A. Do the chapter summeries and look like you wanna be there some days. i swear thats it. Hes funny so the class is never boring and he loves to help with problems, even when they are outside of the class. Take him =)
This teacher is AMAZING ! He is really into this subject and even more into his students. He really cares about your grade, and your over all progress. He is one of those teachers that actually cares about you as an indivudual. He takes the time to get to know his students and what's going on in their lives. TAKE HIM !
Best teacher ever i loved him, if you have any problem you can just talk to him, no homework no test, one paper at the bigining of the class, at the middle and at the end,TAKE WITHOUT THNKING ABOUT IT
He is a great guy and a great instructor. He's a lot of fun!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! If you can make sure you take any of his classes. He makes everything interesting and fun. The best part about him is that he doesn't just care about your grades but also about your life. real easy to talk to and a great guy
Great Professor! I really recommend you take his class. He makes it really fun and you learn a lot about life.
he is best... he is an easy A but he teaches you a lot... and he makes class a trip and a half...
Awesome teacher. Very helpful, nice, and funny. Great class to take to boost up your GPA.
plain awesome. =)
great teacher makes you want to learn. all you have to do is show up to class and do chapter summaries of the whole book.EASY
Dr Sam rocks, honestly if you want to learn about life, psychology or just actually enjoy a class for once, i recommend enrolling. He is really cool, funny and helpful if you ever need to talk about anything. Great guy!
He is GREAT. The best teacher I've ever had. I've never rated a professor but he is worth it. He keeps the class fun and to tell you the truth I'm bitter about the class being over. TAKE HIS CLASS!
great Prof!.
Excellent professor, he is really cool and student really enjoy to be in his class. He teach about real life issues and keep students attention. Also he understand if you have any problem. 100% recommend.
hes a great professor i loved his class he is greaaaaaaaaaaaaaat very helpful i got an a in his class so did the rest of the smart people and the not smart ones
Super funny guy!!! You'll learn a lot, while having fun. He keeps the class entertaining, while still implicating his lessons. Easy A if you do all assignments.
He is a really good teacher and the most important thing, he loves to help his students.
Great Teacher,,FUN, FUN, FUN I took him in summer and I got an "A" He makes the topics interesting and Simple to understand,, He is the new he call him self Gandalf!!
HE IS AN AMAZING TEACHER HE COMPLETELY CHANGED MY LIFE.
He makes the class fun and interesting. He is approchable and takes the time out to listen and he will make suggestion when needed. I will highly recommend his class.
THis guy is the****! FUNNY , OUTGOING, RANDOM, HILARIOUS, ENTERTAINING SIMPLY AWESOME... HE WOULD MAKE AN IMPACT IN YOUR LIFE ! DR. SAM IS AWESOME DON'T THINK TWICE OF TAKING HIM !!!!
This class is awesome!! Anyone who takes it will enjoy it too. The stuff i leanred was crazy and lots of fun.
I'm sorry to disagree with everyone, but this class was a waste of time. He made us write a summ. for each chapter of the book (14)& our whole grade depended on that...That was a waste of time because he never taught anything relevant to the course. Everytime I came to class, we just sat there for 2 hours and listened to crap. I didn't enjoy it...
he is great
he is a great teacher. he is highly motivating, informative, and is easy to work with. he is very understanding and interesting. has a good sense of humor and makes class fun.
The most brilliant professor I have even encountered,he is patient and very opened minded, if anyone criticizes him it is only because they don't want to accept his brilliant mind. Take him he will change your life forever he did change mine...
Hes awesome!!!!
This professor is awesome!! I loved his class. He is very funny and tries to make the class as fun as possible and at the same time very educational! All you have to do is a 2-3 page summary of every chapter (14 chpts) Easy A!
Dr. Lopez is an amazing professor! I've learned so much in this class that will truly use down the road in my life. Taking this class is highly recommended.
I definitelly recommend Dr. Sam, more than a professor he is a friend and can help you see life better. Easy class, no tests, only summary of chapters for mid-term and for final evaluation.
he is the best he teachs you for life and teach you how to overcome your problems in life.. no test.. two chapter summaries of 14 pages each one.EASY AAAAAAA not because i say cuz he said so
Dr. Sam is an amazing teacher! He honestly takes time and effort for his students. He'll keep u laughing and open your mind up to a whole different realm. TAKE THIS CLASS! It'll change you for the good....besides you're guaranteed an A! :)
Best professor i ever had. His class was really easy. there is no way you can get less than an A in the class. He makes the class really fun :-)
I had lots of fun in this class. It's really easy to get an A in this class. Really cool guy.
probably the best teacher i will ever have.
He's super nice, cool, and funny!! If you need this class take it with him! It's an easy A. You'll see things from a different point of view =)
super easy class on 3 assignments he's kinda weird but entertaining. easy A
AWESOME TEACHER!!!! he really cares about the class and he teaches you a lot of things that are helpful. No test at all, no midterm or final. Just 3 writing assignments, buy the book you will need it and the book is super interesting too! This class is an easy A for sure. you will really like it a lot, he's also very funny and weird lol
you'll regret not taking him, i promise ! his class is almost TO easy, you only do chapter reviews, no test no homework, i swear he was gods gift to miami dade students !
This professor is amazing. He teaches you non-conventional things about psychology and the mysteries of the mind. The stuff he teaches is very much relevant to the real-world (you can apply it easily to yourself and the ones you love). He doesn't have tests...only 3 chapter reviews. Take him...I got an A...so can YOU!
5 star professor... great class to take to get your gpa up
This class will really change the way you look at psychology. This proffesor really knows the stuff. he is the best ever, take him you will not regret it
Ive taken him for alot of classes hes amazing! take him if you like psychology!
Great teacher, he lecturethe entire time and requiers class participation. very easy going.
Excellent professor, one of the best I've ever had. I would definitely recommend him. He does require participation, attendance and a lot of writing but his lectures are amazing. He will change your life, as he will let you know on the very first day of class.
STOP WHAT YOUR DOING AND PICK HIM! Dr. Sam is the greatest professor I've taken at Miami Dade. His lessons are very insightful and very informative. He has an awesome sense of humor and isin't afraid to be himself. His class was the only one I looked forward to throughout the semester!
ive had hime for two semesters now and i have to say one of the best proffessor ever! you will be lucky to viw life in such a real and objective way, but you will go to another world when you step into his class! very easy on grades, care about you not a letter on your paper... great person to learn from! funny and kinda quirky....lol...
He is an amazing teacher. All you go is go to class and listen to him talk or watch videos on youtube. You have to do 2 page summaries on each chapter in the book but its super easy. He will change the way you see life and he is just an amazing professor. TAKE HIM!
Take any class with this professor! He will make your class experience so much fun! I recommend him to anyone who needs that extra A for their GPA and who also wants to learn what's in the material, and what is also useful in real-life situations. He is a GANDALF (:
He is the best teacher that I ever had
This class was really interesting. there wasnt a moment which i regret taking this professor. he is very inspirational and really cares about his students.
Best MDC Professor hands down
he gives no tests or quizes, only chapter reviews to turn in in the middle and end of semester. very easy. you are dumb if you dont take him
the best professor take him without a hesitating
Always kept the class interesting.
I'm a Psych major. This was my first intro Psych class, and I know less than when I started. If you want an "A" this is the way to go. If you want to actually learn, not for you.
GREAT TEACHER
GREAT professor and person! the class is pretty easy you just have to do a three page paper and he gives you the midterm and final to take home. If you have any problems he'll help you.
Great Proffesor, honestly the best you can have. Really easy class, also interesting. No matter what class you take the conversations keep you coming back. If you can, take a class with him, best thing you can do.
THE BEST psychology teacher. TAKE THIS CLASS. not hard only three papers, and he gives you more than enough time to do them. fun class discussions. although you need the book he allows you to get the old version. is very easy when grading papers and you if you fail his class you are seriously dumb
Excellent teacher, extremely funny, entertaining and fair. He keeps you engaged in the class and wanting to come back for more. Very fair grading of papers which are due, and the exams are comprehensive, but take home so you have time to review the book to make sure you can get an A. Highly recommend this teacher!
Dr. Sam is amazing. His class is extremly fun. If you dont want to show up, you dont have to. He really dosent care. Hes funny and is a super easy grader. You only have to do 3 short papers in the semester and you have the whole semester to do them! i advise him to anyone!
He is great! I love him! and I'm taking him again twice in the summer!! taking his class is the best thing you can do! You wont regret it!
He is the best. I love him
great teacher! semi boring lectures but very useful for the test...cause the tests are take home and the questions come directly from his ppt. I didnt buy the book and used the one he reserved for students in the library and i did just fine. Getting an A in the class.
AMAZING PROFESSOR! Probably one of the best professors I have ever had. Does not assign a lot of work but he approaches psychology by both the text book and his own personal experiences. Very understanding and open-minded...also a great mentor! TAKE HIM!
HANDS DOWN THE BEST TEACHER IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!! Hes funny and makes class extremely interesting. He has changed my life and the I look at things. He is amazinggggg. Take him!!
AMAZING PROFESSOR!!!! I learned a lot about life with him. He shares his experiences with his students, it's very open minded and makes the class super interesting :) :)
If you look at all the evaluations you'll notice that 99% are super positive about this amazing professor. I agree. You may find someone here that trashes the good prof. They have an axe to grind and probably have anger issues. :)
I loved this class! I would recommend it to anybody who is going to take psycology. Honestly his stories and his logic are amazing. I would definantly take him again if i had too. He is very gifted teacher as well as healer. Plus he's really funny.
Awesome teacher.
HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!! I TOOK HIM FOR PSYCHOLOGY AND I'M GONNA TAKE HIM FOR HUMAN SEXUALITY NEXT SEMESTER FOR THE FUN OF IT AS AN ELECTIVE JUST CAUSE HE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best teachers I've ever had. Class was boring at times, but Dr. Sam is so full of energy, you never know what he'll do next. He only gave us two tests, the midterm and final, and both were emailed very early on and were take home, open book. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs to take a Psychology class. He's very knowledgeable.
Great Professor!!! He makes a funny entrance for the first day of class so be aware : ) Always starts off with a youtube video that is always funny. Open book Mid-Term and Final Exam that is emailed during the first week of the class. You will enjoy his teachings...
He is the best professor ever when i say this i mean an easy A which is all we should want so take him for shoooooo
Very informative and encourages 'thinking outside the box" I highly recommend him for any Psy student.
Great Professor!!! Very informative!!! Never boring!!! Full of energy!!!
Will definetlly take another class with him.
If you want an easy teacher, TAKE HIM! He is super funny. The only grades you are going to have are mid-term and final exams (which he sends them to you by e-mail so you can do them at home) and a 4-page paper that he doesn't even read. If you really want to learn maybe he is not the best choice but if you want an easy A, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!
Some earlier said he does not read papers. Not true. He does this thing (sometimes teaches it to students) called photoreading which you can read insane amounts superfast. You learn but not the traditional way. He is a good communicator.
great teacher! easy class! very helpful with WHATEVER you ask him. take his class, you wont regret it.
TAKE HIM!!!! He is an absolutely amazing professor, very helpful. Two page summaries of each chapter (14 chapters) the first seven are your midterm and the last seven are your final. That's it! He's funny and lively, if you have the chance, take him!!
I suggest everyone in Miami Dade takes him! He's the best teacher I've ever had! Easy A, no need to go to class, funniest teacher ever!
Honestly his class is a joke. Even though the work was very easy I feel like I did not learn a thing in his class. Yes an easy A but sometimes it's nice to learn a thing or two in college.
awesome guy..take him
One of the easiest courses you will take at Miami Dade College. All he assigns in class is a 4 page essay on 4 topics he assigns (articles he has written) and a take home midterm and final exam of 110 questions. All you do in class is have random psychology talks and personal talks. Overall great guy, just don't expect to learn much.
Learned a lot and was fun doing so!
Great professor all around. He makes his class extremely interesting. You do have to do community hours but they are 7-10hrs in three different clubs that he explains. One of the best professors in MDC hands down. No final, NO Midterm, reviews exams before, Some extra credit.
Taking him now for summer A. He is a really great professor. He really cares about his students and is a very easy grader. Take home midterm and final and one 4 page paper. Awesome guy and has very interesting stories and cases! Im hoping to take him again in Fall term. Definitely recommend :)
He is amazing! He is funny and really cares about his students education and future. He gives a take home midterm and final which you will need the book for. Easy A! I would take any class with him again.
Super nice relax professor. So sad he's leaving :( I learned a lot in his class.
SUPER NICE! Took him for Psyc & Human Sexuality ! Best proffesor !
