This is one of the funniest teachers I ever had, but if you need psychology, do not take this course. All he does is tell jokes for lectures, and vaguely discusses the topics for the tests. He does hand out a study guide weeks in advance before a tests and is a very easy grader. If you don't need psychology, then this is an automatic A!

Professor McCloy is very nice. He takes initiative to get to know his students. Just do the study guide and skim the book and it's an easy A. Fair warning, though, sex is the central topic for him. The only thing is that he barely ever talks about what's in the book and if he does, it's only for a moment...and then he gets side-tracked.

Professor McCloy is the best!!! He makes the class so interesting and really goes out of the way to help with extra credit opportunities. All quizzes are online and as long as you read the chapter there is no way you can't pass his class. If you have the chance to take one of his classes I highly recommend you do.

Professor McCloy is the best!!! He is very knowledgeable about the material and makes it very fun with experiments and interesting lectures. All quizzes are online with 2 chances to make the best grade possible. The only homework is to read the chapter and take the weekly exam. I highly recommend taking any of his classes.

Prof. McCloy is very nice and easy to work with. I took his online Psyc 2301 and made a medium-hard A. He allows 2 attempts per/quiz & keeps higher grade. Final is 100 questions. NO extra credit & only 1 article critique. I would take him again if I had to but NOT as a flex course as I did -3-4 chapters/week w/2 tests per chapter; lucky I got an A!

Took McCloys FLEX class online & even though it was a lot of reading, I'm glad I took the class. YOU WILL NEED THE TEXTBOOK because all you do is 1 quiz for each chapter, and the chapters are fairly long. If you dedicate your time to reading or studying the chapter, you will do good! Also 1 easy article critique. Don't regret taking this class! :)

If you need to take an online Flex class, take this one. Lots of reading but not really difficult: two quizzes/chapters a week for Flex, one for "regularly paced" class, plus an essay regarding a Psychology article of your choice. I never had to interact with him much as his instructions were clear, but he was very quick to respond to emails.

You read the chapters you're required to read for the week and we had quizzes that were due on Friday. Open book quizzes because they were done online. Super easy A! Take this professor!!

If you have a 90 or higher grade you're exempt from the final, which is a huge relief.
