This is the coolest teacher I have ever had. He is excellent at communicating his points. His stories ans analogies have me laughing so hard, and kids this is a Saturday morning class, you can imagine how difficult it is to laugh on Saturday morning. 1,000,000 stars!!!!! He is Awesome!!!
This Teacher is amazing. I Love his class and its on saturday mornings. He gives take home exams and quizes, that really help in learning all the infromation for the test. I find my self telling other people stuff i didn't even know i was learning.
Dr.Jennings is AWESOME! He is intelligent, humorous and the ultimate professional. I learned SO much in his class! His teaching style is mainly powerpoint and lecture but he makes it interesting, understandable and funny. His tests are MORE than fair and many are take home. HIGHLY recommend him!
Dr.Jennings ROCKS the town. He is the best,he knows so much,and he is soooooo hilarious. His tests come with study guide, and most of them are take home.A lot of writing - essay Q+ term paper. Over all Dr S. takes the cake for PSY teachers in Valencia, he is absolutely awesome.
Jennings is awesome! I had a lot of fun in his class. He LOVES to talk but that's okay because he makes it interesting and fun! He loves what he does and I loved learning from him! He is a funny guy andgood guy. His class was one of my favorite and I would suggest you take him for sure! Easy easy A ifyou do your work and study the reviews!Take him
He likes to show his talents as a psychologist or psychiatrist or whatever he is. He shares lots of stories about his patients w/ students (confidentiality..dah!. He makes students fill out those Teacher Assessments early in semester after 1st test cuz everybody does well in it but after that his class & tests get challenging & grades go down :(
very hilarious guy and has the best way of making examples of things in his lectures. Hes off da chain and anyone whose anyone should take his class, you will learn alot.
He's really fun, plus he's not bad to look at either, but I am definately able to understand the subject, and he gives you take-home quizes and test, which are pretty easy!
very good teacher, pretty funny, uses actual stories from his clients to explain ideas, however no names are ever mentioned, so confidentiality is upheld. take home quizzes, and half of tests are take home, so its pretty good. other half of tests are in study guide he provides. def reccomend him.
He is way too easy. He gives you study guides before the test, and they are exactly like the tests. On every test, I got over 100. Take him if you dont want to learn anything. His lectures are dull, and he keeps you until you are scheduled to leave. The term paper is rough, so start early. An easy A!
Dr. Jennings is a great professor. I learned so many things that I will be able to put to use outside of school. He uses really interesting examples and his lectures are not boring at all. Take Dr. Jennings if you want to learn psychology and get a good grade.
What a great guy! If you do well on tests and quizzes (and don't miss too many of his classes), then you won't have to take the final. Gives take-home quizzes and exams. Gives out a study guide for tests. Could not be any easier! I wish I could have him for every class. VERY easy on the eyes, too!
Excellent teacher. Strongly recommend him for all the reasons listed previously.
I do not recommend this teacher if you are not the studying type and have no interest in reading tons of pages and chapters. He issues many "take home quizzes" aka homework. It takes him forever to grade ANYTHING. Confusing guy and often looks for what he considers to be the right answer not the textbook. Study! Study! Study!
the best teacher i have had.i recomand him.
he is awesomee! I loved his class. he curved everything. i was soo happy with this teacher! his notes and slide shows help tremendously. and u do have to studyy for the tests! but overall it was worth it. he is hilarious. and cute as well! i loved his classsss!
Great teacher. He makes class very interesting with humor.
Ladies- he is a hottie. A great professor as well. Fun, story telling, and even easy. He goes through it fast so just make sure you study. He is a very fun teacher to have. He remembered my name and talks to me when he sees me around campus. He is a actual physcologist in real life so he has great stories and experience. Take him.
Good teacher, but I hated this class it was so borring. Test are not that easy but interesting class. Easier than other teachers, but overall good man and very smart!
Don't listen to the other comments about this teacher he is really hard. The test are hard, he give you a quiz everyday and they count for 10% of your overall grade. the test are 50% of ur grade. If you want to ge your gpa up don't take him.
This class was hard. his tests were sooo hard. and the class itself was so freakin' Boring!!!!!!!! If you are going to take him Do not take a morning class. The final was 200 questions and you have a quiz every class. Smart man but hard class. also, unreasonable and no Make up tests!!!
I enjoyed this class very much. Jennings is a friendly, funny, and intelligent professor. You'll have a lot of quizzes and tests, but they're not that hard, just read the book. The class itself wasn't the most entertaining, but Jennings makes it interesting because of his experiences as a psychologist. I highly recommend this course.
No Comments
his test are hard only if you dont study. he gives out study guides b4 every test so it should be easy. He has 2 papers, which are ok. but overall he curves some of the test. If u just study whatever is on the study guide, you will be alright.
The class is easy. He gives study guides (vague) and if you pay attention during class you'll be fine. I read the chapters also and that helped me get an A. His lectures are a little boring and I feel that he's reading the textbook to me somtimes.
Teacher isn't hard, but expect to write. Our final paper was 15 to 25 pages. And the kicker is, he never really reads what you write, just pretend too. His humor is dry, like his lectures.
Great teacher. He was willing to work with any situation and always understood if something was late because of an emergency. He reminded me of some of my high school teachers because he really wanted to get to know all of his students. Definatly buy the book you use the entire thing. The tests are not too hard just study the studyguides he gives.
yeah... its awesome. (if you actually care about psyche)-- theres a lot of work but its not hard at all.
He is a really nice guy! Has really good examples and relates it to real life situations; using patients and friends. He stays on one subject way too long. You must buy the textbook! He does not use it in class, but some questions on the tests are from the book. I took it in summer, there was alot of information that was not coverd. STUDY!!!!!!
even if you're l minute late he'll still count it towards your grade. He dropped my grade a whole letter grade just because I was late 3 times. He also makes the corniest jokes and talks about his personal life too much.
this man is crazy --nice but crazy - he cuts you off, he is not objective enough. He has bias too. Cute as a button just don't push his too far.
Easy A, get him. He's pretty easy-going and nice.
Dr. Jennings is an uber intelligent man and is extremely well versed in his lectures. He uses comprehensible examples that make for a fun learning environment. I highly recommend him to anyone, even if you don't have an interest in Psychology. You learn useful information everyone should know...especially parents!!
his test are hard.. he will reward the same question so different that you mess up..
good teacher i took him early in the AM and never was sleepy in his class always entertaing! describes everything very well you do have to study for his exams not an easy a but very acheivable! most test are online with open book and notes! attendance is mandatory and must be on time! i'd re take him again good profesor just study
Dr. Jennings makes development psychology interesting. He is easy going, approachable, and fair. His tests are not easy, but you will learn the subject matter if you attend class and do the assignments. I personally like his humor; not everyone does, but to each their own. If have good study habits there is no reason to avoid taking his class.
Uses personal stories to teach theories& elaborates-using up class time. Uses humor a lot to make points. A little self- absorbed in my opinion, likes to talk about himself- schooling, degrees, experiences-likes to toot his own horn, so to speak. Course schedule was a bit confusing-We got behind & lost track of which chp were covered what day...
He can be funny at times, but sometimes the sense of humor seems really rude to others. He mostly just lectures the entire class so many fall asleep. Must buy the book. Tests are really hard in the beginning, fill in the blank... And a lot of online work. He is very nice and will explain most things to you, but leaves A LOT of stuff to figure out.
Dr J. is great. He is an extremely intelligent man who really know his material. He made lecture very entertaining with personal stories & jokes. Gives lots of extra credit. Tests are 2 parts-one section is inclass & the other is take home. I'd take him again if i could.
Dr J is kind of arrogant in my opinion not a bad teacher, though. The tests were pretty hard bc of the format of the ?s but if you studied hard enough they werent difficult to pass w/ at least a B. Buy the book, don't forget the take-home tests & quizzes, & don't wait til last min to write research paper. Passed w/"A". May take his dev psych class.
He is awesome!
Dr. J makes psychology interesting and funny.
Jennings is a good guy, but laughs at his own corny jokes too much. Even if you study for his tests, you can still fail, because of the way he rewords the questions. Online tests and quizzes, plus the tests we take in class. Not an easy class at all. If you can, take another professor.
He is AWESOME!!! His jokes are not corny and he is not hard as I see some people put. It's only hard if you don't do your work and study. His jokes are great. People in my class crack up at his jokes. I sit in the front row because I find him very interesting. I'm even taking him for my Developmental Psy. class
The class was pretty easy. The teacher dragged on his jokes for to long. Not very interesting, everything is based off the notes he puts up on the projector. Wish we had an interesting project or watched videos, more hands on stuff because the way the material was introduced made me loose a lot of interest in the subject. Gives good study guides.
bad professor, do not take him. I don't recomend him.
I had him for Psyc honors. He made me laugh, and he knew how to explain all the material very thoroughly. His quiz's are online, so you can use your book. He post thorough online study guides before every exam, and he has his own practice. He also testifies in court on the sanity of defendants. He a true expert. Take him!.
He's humorous but it doesn't make up for hisattitude. HE SUCKS!!!
DO NOT TAKE!!! he thinks beign funny makes everything lovely. He is ridiculous and does not care about his students at all. You have 4 tests throughout the semester, each on 3 chapters from the textbook, each chapter which is about 60 pages long. He gives no kind of study guide whatsoever and has the most obscure questions. AWFUL
Total Jerk! Likes to talk about himself & tell jokes that aren't funny. Told me I met criteria to be exempt from final then told me 2 days before I had to take it- I had already sold my book back & everything! Challenging tests and ridiculous papers! Needs to cut back on the caffeine!!! Take someone else- there are plenty to choose from...
hes hot, and makes jokes, but he is HARD!!! the papers you have to write are ridiculous, wont tell you your grade, makes you figure it out yourself. LOTS OF TEST ON WEBCT!!! and his in class exams are extremly tough. i always studied, did all my work, and extra credit and STILL didnt make a decent grade. DONT TAKE HIM!! take someone else!!!
he is a good teacher but he hot soo all the ladies drouling over him
for the love dont take him. he's arrogant, tells bad jokes and is hard. makes you write a very long term paper BUT you can pass his class without writing it - 15% of grade. very unorganized, doesnt give clear outline for exams. ton of writing in this class. obscure questions from book on test so you'll have to read every page. TAKE ANOTHER CLASS.
Great teacher and made class fun. You will do well in this class if you study and read assigned chapters. You will not do well if you do not choose to participate in your education. Big on critical thinking and big on class participation. Definitely would like to take him again.
He is nice, knowledgeable and his lectures are interesting. But you will not get an A in his class. He is proud about making his tests overly complicated. He works as a clinical psychologist and that is his main focus. So when it comes to teaching he is not organized, his syllabus is useless and he takes for ever to get grades back. Don't take him
i think that dr jennings is a wonderful professor. i took him last fall and had to withdraw and when i signed up for gen. psych again he was the only teacher i would take. he is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. he has great notes and i plan on taking him again for any other psych classes i may need. deff a professor to take.
Please, if you value your sanity do NOT take Dr. Jennings. His syllabus is worthless because he will not follow it.He will give you a quiz on a chapter before you even cover it.He is not consistent at all I will say that his lectures are sort of interesting but on a test he will ask the same question 5 different ways. DON'T TAKE HIM!
Great professor. Makes a lot of cheesy jokes, but they're sweet-natured and keep the class lighthearted. VERY extensive term paper, but each aspect of it is gone over in detail in class, and he's always willing to go back and explain difficult concepts. If you care about psychology, take him. The man loves what he does and it reflects in his class.
I got an A in genpsych so it's not impossible. Tests are not difficult if you read the chapters and use a study guide. Yes, he does give quizzes before actually going over chapter as he expects you to read and take part in you education. Pretty corny and thank God for that otherwise I might have fallen asleep. Intelligent man who knows his stuff
Very easy class. He quizzes on the chapters online before he covers them in class (open book). If you read what you need to, and use the study guides/in class notes he posts on webct, you'll get A's.
Guy knows his psychology, but he is annoying. He makes all these corny jokes and laughs at them. His class is easy. 4 tests and 4 quizzes. But the term paper is crazy long.
He makes the worst jokes... lmao!!! haha!!! but his lectures are super helpful... just write the notes and take you quiz seriously. All of the notes are online and his study guides are great, if you use the corectly... and he give easy extracredit
Yes u do have to read chps but he gives u a syllabus in the beginning of the semester that tells u what chps need to be read and by when.He also gives u a studyguide that HELPS.it's a psych class,what do you expect it to be like?every class he goes over power points that are already posted in webct.read study go to class u'll be fine.
Dr. Jennings is a great professor. Hes clear on his lectures, and keeps the class enviorment fun. Sure, his test's may seem a bit difficult, but he almost ALWAYS gives a curve..he seems to know where the hard working student wants to go in life, and he's willing to help. drops a quiz and a test grade. quizzes online. great prof. i recomend him.
He is a good teacher, he just grades to hard. If you like a challenge take this class but if you trying to get an easy A not happening with him. You really need to know that book inside out to pass this class.
The teacher is hot.Women weren't drooling,FYI.Many say that the maerial is hard but it is not. Yes, he does have some corny jokes that he tells but I would take him for any other class that I needed.The lazy bums who thinks he's difficult should study more.Everything you want to earn is hard to obtain. Work hard for it.
Kooky Funny Readings are a MUST Has passion & love for psychology & it shows Can talk endlessly Tests are HARD & thought provoking Answers don't jump out at you Have to have an understanding of material FAIR Describes and gives examples that bring understanding BIG on critical thinking; thinking for self Expects you to perform at college level
Really good professor! Looks like Kirk Cameron but is NOT HOT! ew, hes married people, gross. haha, he's really funny and knows how to teach the material. 3 exams, 4 quizzes, and final, which you can be exempt from if u have an average of "B". Term paper is VERY long, but it was SO interesting to me, so I didn't have a problem writing it, overall A
Had him for General Psych and Dev. Psych. He is a great teacher. He gives plenty of chances for Extra Credit, grades tests with slides, and makes class enjoyable. Reading the textbook is must. I learned a lot with him.
great
good teacher
If you've picked psychology as your major and are serious about learning, I recommend you do not choose him. Alot of people like him because he is "funny" but personally, it gets old quick. He will spend the whole class on just three powerp. slides telling horribly corny jokes. His tests are pretty easy. Like to joke around? take him.
Great teacher, awesome personallity, class is hard but worth it, very knowledgeable. would recommend him to everyone i know!!! taking him again for developmental psych
took him for dev psych. easy to pass but you must be there and be prepared. or you will not pass I would take him again in a minute
If you pay attention in class, you'll learn a whole bunch. His lectures are good, but sometimes he jokes too much, but he makes it fun. He stays strong to his syllabus and guidelines so don't screw up. His tests are easy if you study hard. Definitely need the textbook. Very helpful, and be prepared to do papers.
This was a very hard class to take. Dr. J makes all the online test easy & make all the in class test very hard. I am one out of 15 people that I know who he has failed with an "F". I can only speak for myself when saying THIS PROFESSOR "DR J" DOSE NOTHING TO TRY TO HELP HIS STUDENTS PASS! He love to tell all of his students "IT SUCKS 2 BE U!
Professor Jennings was pretty easy if you study and attend class. He gives very helpful study guides prior to tests and although there is a lot of information to study, he is clear on what you will be tested on.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! He will make you write a 2nd exam pager& won't even grade it.I agree w/ the other posting that he love2 tell his students IT SUCKS 2 BE YOU! His office it's a mess;with his classes paper work all over the place.He loves 2brag about having tenure;this why he don't care if u fail.
DO NOT take this professor!!! He doesn't teach in class, all he does is tell jokes which are not funny and his tests are hard. He sends you to do a lot a lot of papers so be ready. he does not care for the students at all. he shouldn't teach!!
His class is challenging I'm on the presidents list and I worked my behind off to get just a B in the class but if you study hard and stay on top of his work you'll be fine but you will write a lot of papers if you plan on passing and do all the extra credit because he gives curves sometimes so that's a plus.
His class was extremely hard. The quizzes are easy and helps your grade a lot but the tests are impossible
Not going to lie, his class was tough. The book is very detailed and chapters are really long so it will take you several hours to study. His tests are managable as long as you study well and do all parts of it. He's a cool guy in general but can get annoyed easily so don't piss him cause he will get mad. Can be funny sometimes, and of course, cute
If I had the chance I don't think I would take him again. His class is not very structured, and I personally, don't like that. He would always change things up BUT what I really liked about his class were all of the extra credit opportunites he gives you. And they are by no means easy to obtain. His extra credit essays requires effort. Tough grader
Dr. Jennings is AWESOME! He is so funny and he makes everything so easy to understand. Oh and he is easy on the eyes if you know what I mean.... Anyway his class is a little difficult only if you are lazy and do not study. If you read the chapters and do his assignments you will be fine.
Show up, do the assignments and you will get a good grade. The assignments are not hard, but they are more time consuming than you will probably expect, so schedule your study time accordingly.
Prof. Jennings in AMAZING! I learned more in 6wks than I did in an entire year of AP Psych! he's full of energy and is so excited about what he does.make sure the first thing you do is buy the book!you'll be reading a lot of it! TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! HE'S AWESOME!
Very interesting class and Dr.Jennings is great at grabing students' attention to help students learn, but it is not easy to get a good grade in his class. I was in the top three and only recived a B.
Hes sooo cool. Funniest professor ever. great teaching skills. he knows how to make you listen and be interested in the subject at hand.
His class is interesting.Lots of examples. He knows his job. Take him and do your reading you will pass this class + extra credits.
Professor Jennings is great! He is extremely knowledgeable about what he teaches. He incorporates personal examples and funny anecdotes to help students understand. I would take all of my classes with him if I could! It is challenging to get a good grade, but the class is so interesting and he is so great, I'm ok with my B.
Huh I put up a mediocre review and now its gone. I guess he really does edit these posts. As another poster says, look elsewhere.
Meh. His disorganization and unclarity caused me a lot of stress during my semester. His tests are incredibly hard as well. I would study and take notes from the textbook for hours and still only manage a B. Very frustrating and his lectures aren't helpful either. Would not recommend.
Tests and essays were tough. I got a B both of my classes w/ Prof Jennings. You must be interested in the subject matter and willing to devote plenty of time to studying, writing, etc. If you are taking this class just to fulfill a degree requirement, choose an easier prof. Otherwise, be prepared to work hard to see results!
Dr. Jennings is a wonderful teacher
This teacher makes his class very interesting with his in class discussions which make the material clear. With that said, he does not give an easy A, his tests are HARD! His assignments are do-able but strenuous. You truly earn your grade in this class. Although he has a great personality the overall work can be overhearing if you're seeking an A.
Don't do it, if you are thinking about it, don't! Anyone else.
Prof Jennings is an interesting man. He knows his stuff but you NEED to read to pass this class. He could get pretty corny at times but thats what makes his class so interesting. If you ask him something, he'll tell you to look it up for the most part. His tests are hard if you dnt study but he lectures with powerpoints so it helps
another thing is that he gave out class 2 extra credit assignments. One is to replace your lowest test score and the other can bump up half a letter grade... which is what I think gave me an A. His attendance works on hour based so you can only miss a certain amount of time and there is a term paper which is reading and diagnosing a character
Who let this guy teach. Never been more frustrated with an instructor ever.
As a person Dr. Jennings is AMAZING. As a professor LAWD JESUS lol He's a good prof. his learning techniques are weird and difeerent if you need a teacher to help you w/ learning this is not your prof. he's good at what he does, but it's up to you to teach yourself then he'll add onto what you learned that's his method.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER. He makes the class really interesting and genuinely makes the material fun to learn. He's the one who made me want to major in psych. You WORK for your grade and he definitely isn't an easy A but he is always willing to help you pass and give you whatever extra help you need, plus he gives an extra credit assignment.
This man has NO idea how to teach. He gives the quizzes before he teaches the chapter and has no desire to help when asked. I wouldn't take another class with him even if my degree depends on it. Save yourself the headache and take the class with ANYONE else!
Great teacher. Hard class and is a lot of work (quizzes every week) but you need to read the textbook! You can't rely on just the powerpoint notes during class! If you're prepared for the tests, you will do fine. It's a combination of an in-class and online test. He knows what he's talking about :)
One of the greatest ,genuine, and authentic professors I have ever met,not only that he is a great instructor but he is very caring as well. He made me in person develop a very high interest with regards to the course. I would definitely recommend this course and especially under his supervision.
So bad it is painful. If i could have just insulted myself and taken his tests I would have chosen this option. Avoid at all cost.
Amazing prof. He is definitely not an easy A but the work is fair and he helps by telling a lot of stories to help us better understand topics! I would so take him again !
Fantastic and by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. He teaches very well but you will need to work for his class it is by far not an "easy A". Not only is he a great teacher but in his classroom you will learn to utilize your mind, time and critical thinking skills and prepares you for the real world. I highly recommend him.
This professor is awesome. His classes and examples are very good, but his tests and exams are very very hard. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS if you want to keep a good GPA dont do it. I am an A student and I think Im going to get a C.
Very good teacher, you can tell he's passionate. Uses psychology to make us better students. His lectures are very clear and keeps the class entertained. Tests are easy if you study the material and he is a very understanding teacher. I highly recommend Dr. Jennings for general psychology
Classes become crazy lectures that are very disorganized as he shifts and jumps and actual content gets put aside. Then he says he will catch up but this is done by reading the book. Could be good if he actually taught material consistently. Tests and papers are crazy rough.
Amazing professor. Very clear and uses real-life examples to help students understand the material. You must read the book before class but the textbook is very easy to understand.
Assigns a lot of reading but addresses all topics in class, is very qualified to teach and uses good real life examples from his other jobs. Tests are a little lengthy but not difficult, I highly recommend if you have a genuine interest in Psychology
He was one of the best and hardest professor I had so far. He is a good teacher, very funny and has good stories to tell. Very helpful if you feel lost. As long as you do all the quizzes online and study for all the in class test you are surely to pass. Text book is a must use, everything we were tested on was in the textbook and in his lecture.
He's a great professor and he's funny. It's a college course so expect to read and study. If you study, there's no reason you shouldn't get an A.
10 online quizzes (unlimited chances to retake before due date) 4 Tests (tough test, know your psy language) Amazing lectures and funny face expressions.
Professor Jenning's is the best! If you read your chapters you will pass the class. I would definitely do the learnsmart online learning before the exams as well, they helped me a lot. If you miss more then 4 hours of class time you fail. Very good lectures with a whole lot of great stories to relate to. Just put in the work and you will pass.
If you are taking Professor Jennings for PSY2012 because you want to be a psychology major or because you are interested in psychology then I would recommend his course. If you (as I did) don't really care about psychology and only take it for the credit, I would not recommend him. The syllabus is the bible. Show up to class. Study hard.
Professor Jennings is helpful and clear in his lectures. He is also funny which helps you stay awake. I have not one fell asleep from boredom. Whenever I needed help or guidance he is faithful to answer questions after class and be in his office during hours. By far my favorite professor. Also great for developmental psych.
Very funny, he is very willing to help and i love his explanations because he turns it into a joke almost always. His test are pretty hard but he tends to give extra credit and also they have tutors at the school but he is really cool.
On paper he seems like the best fit to teach a class, he currently has an open practice, years of experience, has his hands all over the subject, BUT he is also arrogant, and cocky. If you can handle the constant reminder that he does this for a living then you are okay. Papers are long so save up your quarters because he wants it all printed too
He's a genius and always makes his lectures funny I would recommend him every time and the syllabus is the bible lol
Dr. Jennings was the best. He makes lectures interesting, and tries to help students in any way possible. Prepare to read a lot though, because you have to do a quiz before you have the lecture. I would totally recommend him to anyone!
I loved Dr Jennings! He does not give any assignments so your grade is based on how well you know the information and how you present it on quizzes and tests. A 20 question quiz is due online before he lectures about new chapters and only four big exams throughout the course. He makes the class interesting even at 8am. Would really recommend him!
He's really funny and interesting, enjoying this class a lot.
He is hilarious but I wouldn't take him again. It is soooo boring. It's just lecture and tests/quizzes. He doesn't make the class interesting. At the beginning of the semester he told us about ratemyprofessor & how people said they didn't learn anything from him & how it's not true. Well it was. I took away NOTHING from this class.
You will be doing lots of reading from the textbook and the class is all powerpoint and lectures, but Dr. Jennings keeps it interesting with his stories. Just pay attention, and read the chapters and there is no reason why you shouldn't get an A. Dr. Jennings provides many opportunities to make up for a bad performance on an exam.
My 3rd time taking him and I cant wait The man is a complete Genius and Hilarious! He cares about you learning more than grades so there is extra credit and he does not mind helping you to get an A which is what I got but dont be lazy he will meet you half way
Please take him you will not regret it.
Took him for a summer course and it was the best thing I could have ever done . I thought I would never pass the course since I had took it online before but Pro. Jennings makes it easy to understand , works with you, gives extra credit, no hard test, quizzes, and shares stories . You will not regret it! You will learn and PASS!
Tbh i miss him! He was one of the best professors i have ever had. His lectures didn't feel like school at all, they weren't hard to follow, and they were so funny and interesting. His exams ARE NOT EASY but he is always there for his students and gives the best study tips to help you get the grade you want if you're willing to work for it.
This made is Amazing took both of my psychology classes with him. Even thought he is strict there was nevel a dull moment in his class room. Dont miss a class or youll be lost read and there is no reason why not to get an A he is amazingggg!!!
His class is tough if you don't study, but he gives lots of extra credit. Take him if you want to learn something new.
TAKE HIM! HE IS HILARIOUS. BUT, BE READY TO WORK HARD FOR YOUR GRADE. REALLY HARD. THIS CLASS IS NOT EASY. BUT THIS MAN IS SO RESPECTED, HILARIOUS AND WANTS YOU TO SUCCEED!
Best prof. I've ever had. lectures all class but I could listen to him talk all day. Very engaging and funny. Teaches in a way that sticks in your head for the test. He knows his material and is probably one of the smartest people I've met. Clear deadlines on syllabus and he sticks to it. listen to his lectures and read the book for an easy A
Prof Jennings is nice but most of the time hes all over the place. I hardly learned anything in his class because he rambles on about things that arent even related to the topic. He knows his stuff, thats for sure but he isnt the best at teaching it. You HAVE to read the textbook to know anything that will be on the test.
This professor is engaging, so if you need to have a good time in lecture to pay attention this is the guy. He makes himself very available to his students for questions and comments. Never will you feel shy asking a question. As far as rigor, the work is yours but he makes the test very concrete, not clinical, black and white.
he was so cool. his lectures were so interesting, he really has a lot of experience & stories as a psychologist. i was never bored in his class. be organized cause there are online assignments, readings, and quizzes. we didnt see any grades till the semester was over, so it would've been nice to know what I got right or wrong on assignments.
good professor
Funny, but he is full of himself. Didnt know my grade till it was too late. Difficult term paper. Online quizzes weekly. Failed class because I took a test and apparently either blackboard didnt register it, or something changed in his grading criteria. Not accessible, and honestly just a headache. Talked to dean, nothing was done. Wish you luck
Dr. Jennings is an amazing teacher. If youre truly interested in the field of psychology take him, if youre not serious about it you will fail. He has his own practice & is highly experienced. Hes not your traditional read book-take test teacher he is preparing you for masters level and doctoral level schooling.
You will fail his class
Very good professor, very laid back and not too much work. 10 question quizzes every week on the textbook chapter assigned and a couple of exams. Very engaging and interesting stories.
Dr. J is a great professor. The lectures are amazing and he gives great real life situations throughout. He always makes sure everyone understands. Quizzes are online and they are due BEFORE he talks about the chapters in class. Tests are kind of hard but if you actually read the chapter and take notes you should be fine. Highly recommend.
I took professor Jennings for gen and dev psych. His lectures are life alterin;he will challenge every perception you have of this world and of yourself in such a beautiful way. I hung onto every word he said. He's a tremendous professor. He's by the syllabus, and you'll read alot, but he always offers extra credit and he's extremely reasonable.
He doesnt show you your grade at all or grades you get on exams so if you dont like that dont take him. I put my final grade as a B- but Im just guessing because I have no idea what I got. He also posts lectures AFTER you take the quiz for them so get ready to use the book
DONT TAKE THIS CLASS online! He doesn't put your overall grade in, he puts the power points up after you take the quiz. He doesn't have all the assignments in at once, he'll put them up when they're due so you can't really plan for them. And when you email him, he is very rude and snappy. If you want to pass, just dont take this class.
This professor never posts your work on time so it messes with your whole schedule. The discussions are not well organized at all either not being posted when supposed to be. Also he doesn't show you your grade the whole time you're enrolled in his class. How am I supposed to improve?
Professor doesn't put grades on Canvas until the end of the semester. Also, he drops your highest four grades. Overall, he is a tremendous professor but the fact he drops your four highest grades and doesn't put grades in canvas is something he needs to work on
Professor Jennings is one of my favorite professors! His lectures are always so inspiring and he is insanely hilarious. He has quizzes for every chapter but allows unlimited attempts. He allows students 4 hrs of absence, but it is unlikely that any student would want to miss his lectures in the first place. No final exam. TAKE HIM!!
He is the most horrible teacher I ever had. Very inappropriate jokes and doesn't care about his students. He feels like he's better than them.
He was an amazing professor I enjoyed the class . 4 exams out of the 16 week with online quizzes due every week. As long as you study and take the online quizzes your grade will be fine.
I took him for developmental and general 2 years ago. He made me fall in love with psychology. Funny guy, visit his office hours! He does get off topic during class and you have to make up for it at home but if you like psychology you'll find him impeccable! Might seem cocky to some but he knows what hes talking about
This PROFESSOR IS HORRIBLE!!! Dont take his class. Test are 70% of your grade (4 test in total, 60 questions each, with a 60 min. time limit) You dont know your grade until the end, he doesnt teach you about the chapters until after taking the test (why teach me after?), and he makes you calculate your own grade. Definitely a self teach class.
He gives good lectures but his exams have little or nothing to do with it. The grades are awful and he doesnt justifies it or accept a discussion. Very disappointed
His lectures are hilarious and he uses example to help us understand. He doesn't go over all the chapters so you have to read the textbook. There are two parts to the test, online portion, and in-class portion. About 10 quizzes. Your grade will be dependent on how well you do on test. He drops your lowest test grade and quiz grade.
Jennings is a great professor. However, don't take the class unless you're ready to learn and understand psychology. It's not enough to just read the textbook and show up to class. Good lectures, easy tests as long as you understand the material. Def taking him for DEP2004
He is a great professor if you put in the work. He is very knowledgeable and good at what he teaches, but your grade is mostly based on 4 tests so if you are a bad test taker in a short amount of time it might be difficult to bring your grade back up.
Amazing Professor. His lectures are really great.
Professor Jennings is the worst professor I have had so far in college. Not academics-wise, but his character is unpleasant: he is unaccessible and can be very rude. I would highly recommend finding another professor for this course.
I would not recommend taking his class. He was absent for most of the semester, and he made the class boring. He's rude and waited until the last week of the semester to start grading stuff. Overall, this was my least favorite professor.
Who releases lectures AFTER the quizzes? Can't believe I paid for this.
Prof Jennings was by far my favorite professor. Hes funny, he teaches by telling stories from first hand experience. He does grade heavy and his tests are not easy but if you study you will do just fine. I looked forward to his class every week.
I am currently in his Developmental Psychology class and I suggest taking an other teacher. He doesn't know how to teach and it didn't help me learn at all and he doesn't post our grades until, the semester is over so, you don't know if you are passing or failing or, know if you are doing good or bad. Just take an other teacher please!
The worst professor Ive ever had. He is very difficult to work/ reason with. He has no compassion/ offered no help for technical issues even though it was an online class. He does not give examples for assignments even when requested. Would not recommend taking this class.
Worse professor I ever had, he will post lectures after quizzes, he is very rude, unreachable. He doesn't grade assignments until class is complete. My grade is actually posted on Canvas and my final exam score is still unavailable. If you want to fail feel free to take him.
