He is simply the best professor you'll ever have. He'll make you laugh and enjoy coming to class. One student got him to admit that he is politically conservative, but when pressed for details he politely declined and said he did not want to indoctrinate students. He has integrity that is severely lacking in so many liberal professors at CSUN.

Best professor I have ever had in my 3 years of psych, hands down. I was on exchange from Australia and he made my experience what it was, I never missed a (8am) class! Every day he renewed my love for psychology. His injection of humour and life experience into his classes made it perfect.I'll remember what he taught me long into my career :D A+++

Psychology can be a pain in the butt unless you love to do experiments and you love the vocabulary you have to learn. Plunkett grades you on four exams, attendance, lab assignments, and a research paper. He grades really, really hard on the research paper. However, he is 1 of the best psych professors in the department so you should take him.

His tests are worded pretty difficult, and attendance REALLY matters. He's a very funny guy, makes a lot of self-deprecating jokes. He's very nice and truly wants his students to succeed. Just don't expect this class to be easy!

He is a gem. Attendance matters most. If you are more than 1 minute late it affects your grade, same with leaving early. If you miss more than 3 classes or are late/leave early often you cannot receive an A. Three exams, you can retake one exam if you miss one/want to replace a grade. Video exam reviews are the test and make acing the exams easy!

I took this class asynchronous for winter term and it was extremely easy. Textbook/notes are provided in PDF, 28 quizes mostly true false with answers spelled out in provided notes and 2 easy assignments. Its possible to finish in a week but I took it easy and finished in 10 days.

Quizzes, assignments, & 3 exams (50 Q's each). Do his study guides & you should ace every exam. Lectures are long/boring. Barely responds to emails. Doesn't prioritize the right things. Spent the whole semester going over people's resumes but when students asked him to go over exam Q's he would always lag it & never end up going over them.

Professor Plunk is the sweetest prof you'll ever meet. Exams are in-person and lecture heavy, but as long as you pay attention, review the material, and attend the lectures you'll get an A. Material isn't hard. Take the time to get to know him outside his class. His office is a safe space and he genuinely cares about each of his students. +funny

This class was okay. He is also okay. I read these reviews and expected a lot more than what it was. If I could redo the semester I would've definitely picked another class.

Dr. Plunkett is awesome! He creates his own notes for the entire semester, and one quiz a day (summer course), with majority T or F questions pulled word for word from his notes. He is the best psych prof i have taken yet at CSUN. Highly recommend, he actually wants his students to learn!

Dr. Plunkett is the best professor I've ever had. He is funny, charming, constantly helpful, and one of the few people who will actually invest time into preparing you for your future. He will help you with your resume, with job searches/extracurriculars, and in his office hours, anything else you need. I was in his lab too. 100% would recommend.

Lectures are great. Professor is hilarious and insightful. Frequent quizzes, but they aren't hard. Tests can be a little tricky, but aren't unreasonable. Provides notes for the entire semester, containing everything needed for tests and quizzes. Attendance is graded and mandatory.

I wish we could see our quiz scores right away, but apart from that he is an amazing professor and highly respected. Lectures are so engaging through witty jokes and personal examples that the time flies by. Easy course overall.

If you do not pass this class with at least a B it's on you. He gives you the notes for the entire semester and uses them strictly for every quiz and test. 10/10 professor, I highly recommend chatting with him at least once during office hours. He is a professor that cares about the comprehension of the material rather than the difficulty of exams.
