Dr. Gitter was one of the best teachers ive had at auburn. He loves psychology and it shines through in his lectures. The class is not tough if you show up and take notes and start studying a couple days before the exam. The material is pretty easy but can be confusing if you dont pay attention. Extra credit via sona and i clicker quizzes.

Gitter is definitely one of my favorite professors here at Auburn. His lectures are very clear on what he wants you to know. Very communicative with the students and provides SEVERAL resources to help you do better in class. He also does an attendance grade at the end of the semester so if you need a little bump it helps out. Just great overall.

dr. gitter is such a nerd (in the best way), he is so funny and loves what he teaches. however, his class was very difficult for me. you really have to pay close attention to everything he says in class, as well as read literally every word in your textbook... and understand it. I ended up withdrawing at the towards the end of the semester.

Lectures are interesting at times yet boring at times. He is monotone. I go to every class because of the occasional iClicker points, but you will survive without them. Study the powerpoint slides on canvas and you should be fine. The most important part is knowing definitions and being able to identify them in situational questions on the exam.

If you are taking Intro to Psych, take Dr. Gitter! His class is easy if you pay attention and write down more than what is on the slides. He provides the slides for the lectures on Canvas. Reading the book can help, but everything you need to make a 100 is in the lectures. Make sure you do research early on or else there won't be any spots left.

He sometimes likes to make up his own terms, so be wary of this prof if you depend mostly on textbooks to study. He tries to keep the class interested, and he understands that most of the people in the class aren't PSYC majors. He tries to stay aware of issues with the class as they come up. He seems a little standoffish when I try to talk to him.

A lot of extra credit points, but a lot of reading. His lectures are informative and enjoyable but they will only cover 50% of the exams. The other 50% comes from the book which he never goes into other than saying "read it".

Dr. Gitter is a wonderful professor who cares about his students doing well. The tests are hard but if you meet with the TAs a couple times, go to the study sessions & do the study guide you will do well! Print out the notes before class because he goes fast & that way you will already have the slides. Also, do the research participation & quizzes.

He's a great professor who gives very in-depth lectures. He makes the material to where you can understand it and is easily accessible after class and during office hours. There is a lot of extra credit work that you can do, which is helpful because he doesn't round grades. Dr. Gitter is hilarious and caring and I would take him for every class!

I thought I understood everything well for the first test and ended up doing very poorly. His test are really hard and completely situational. You will not pass his tests using flashcards or just knowing definitions. Use the quizzes he puts on canvas for practice and read the textbook even though it isn't required!!! that was my only saving grace

Dr. Gitter is really funny and got me interested in psychology. Took online, and it was basically reading the modules he had typed. Im a visual learner, so I liked it, especially the flexibility. If you read through the lectures well, the information is not hard. I didnt personally have a lot of contact with him, but he is available if you need!

Dr. gitter is a good teacher. His tests are easy if you study the vocab but you will not get an A if you just read the lectures. Youll get a high B if you just read the lectures. He gives tons of extra credit. I got nothing higher than an a on a test and still ended up with a in the class. Hes very funny and explains thing well. Quizzes are easy.

Dr. Gitter was one of my best professors. He made the material for my Intro to Psych class very easy to understand. He always offered help to the students by providing many meeting hours. He was hilarious, and that made the course very enjoyable. I would definitely take another course with this professor.

Attendance isn't necessarily mandatory but what he teaches in class is important for exams. He uses clear examples and tells us what to pay attention to which really helps!

Dr.Gitter is the GOAT. I took this class online and I had no trouble keeping up with material and online lectures. If you take notes and look over the material before the test you should be good. There are also multiple opportunities for extra credit and I ended the class with a 101% because of it. Take him if you can!

Dr. Gitter is a great professor. He posts all his lectures in case you can't make it in person, gives very structured study guides, and provides material to help you study for exams. There's also a big bonus point opportunity that he includes at the end of the semester. His lectures were interesting and the textbook was helpful for this class.

Great professor, very funny and lectures are interesting. There is a bit of reading and homework/online quizzes, but they do help you on the exams. If you study, you will do well. Make sure to review the online materials, as they are very helpful in preparing for exams. Great overall.

Dr. Gitter provides detailed study guides for each exam. I rarely went to class because you can find all of the answers to the study guides in his online lecture modules. I only studied the study guide and made an A on every test. His final is not cumulative. He also offers a lot of extra credit. I would recommend.

I love Dr. Gitter! His lectures are easy to pay attention to and has a good sense of humor. There isn't a lot of homework and it's all completion with extra credit. He makes learning guides for every exam (all multiple choice) with everything you need to know! He has online lectures too so if you miss a class it's easy to catch up.

I'm kind of disappointed. I read the rate my professor reviews and heard only amazing things about him from past students, but I did not have the same experience. I don't know if he was having an off semester or what, but this class has been difficult for sure. The content is kind of boring, so it's hard to stay focused. Attendance not mandatory!

Prof Gitter was great, although I found it hard to pay attention in class sometimes. He does post literally everything online for you, so if you happen to miss or skip class, you can easily catch up. Tests are definitely not the easiest but become a lot easier if you pay attention in class.

If you pay attention to his lectures and do the homework (which is very quick) then it is very easy to make an A. He also provides a ton of resources that can help you to do well on exams.

The BEST Psych professor and I will forever stand by that! Explains concepts so well and while attendance isn't mandatory, being in class definitely helps because everything presented in the lectures is fair game for exams! His lectures are so engaging though and he is such a genuinely helpful professor so it never feels like a drag to go to class!

Great online summer class. Canvas page complete with video lectures, typed out information, and online assignments. If I didn't need the credit I think I would still take the class again just because of how interesting it was and how entertaining completing it was. If you need the core class requirement over the summer take this class.

Anyone who rated Dr. Gitter poorly just didn't show up to class. Attendance isn't mandatory, but the lectures are genuinely so engaging you're missing out if you don't come to class.

Cool guy and great professor. Checks to make sure people understand before he continues. It's not an easy/free grade, but he makes it interesting. Also isn't afraid to tell people to be quiet (respectfully) if they're being disruptive. He talks a little fast so I took notes on my laptop; take notes/pay attention and you'll be fine

He tends to move a little slower during the lectures but tells stories to help you remember the material. There's extra credit built into the course. He's a great professor and funny in a cringy dad way which made the material a little more interesting. On the exams you really have to pay attention to the wording of the questions.

I thought this would be an easy A. Low and behold it is not. He genuinely seems like a great guy, however the lectures can be pretty boring. His exams are multiple choice and he provides a somewhat "Helpful" study guide, but so far I have made 80/160 on literally all my exams. He is super condescending when trying to reach out for help too.
