He is a great guy! He is a big family man and tells stories a lot. If your an athlet def. take the class (he likes you) and if you have a learning disability he is very helpfull! But you must study your notes to do good on his tests

Awesome teacher, very clear and understandable. The tests are exactly his notes. Good speaker and talks about interesting things. Good class to take.

he gives a lot of bonus, so if you just have to make sure you go to class! he loves athletes too. makes class fun.

Dr. Groff is an awesome professor!! His notes are the tests...so take notes! He tells stories about his family and his stint in the military...they are usually interesting. He's very helpful and very understanding.

he is so interesting

he is a good teacher who will do anthing to help his students out!!! he gives enough extra points ti really help boost your grades!!!! i boomed on 2 of his test and still came out with a B!!!!! he's great!!!!

This class was pretty easy. Dr. Groff is a cool and intresting guy, but at times unclear. There are a few opportunities for extra points but STUDY for the tests.

if you can make yourself go to class and take very thorough notes, you don't even have to buy the book for this class. but by thorough, i mean write down EVERY little thing, example, etc. that he says. it will show up on the test! dr. groff is an extremely nice guy and gives in-class extra credit opportunities to reward those who come to class.

Very cool class with a very cool teacher. He doesn't tend to lecture very often but when he does, write everything down, you will see it verbatim on the tests. If you go to class this is an easy A

I didn't open the textbook. Any information that needed to be looked up outside of class could be done through Google. He talks most about veterans, a lot about himself, and a little about psychology. Take precise notes when he lectures and just regurgitate it all on the tests. I would have preferred more content, but the class was easy.

Never used the book. He doesn't lecture much, but when he does take good notes. He likes to do group work, but it's easy, you just have to show up for class to get credit. He's very intelligent, but he doesn't talk about many parts of psychology that much. He mostly focuses on PTSD; however, if you want an easy interesting Behavioral Science credit

There's not much lecture or textbook use, but when he does lecture, it's very clear and interesting. He has a great sense of humor that he throws into the class, so it's never boring. The tests are really easy. Everyone got A's on every test. Definitely recommend him.

Loved the class! Dr. Groff made Psych fun. I learned so much.

He's awesome.

Awesome honors class to take. Dr. Groff really enjoys what he does and is a fun professor. His exams aren't very hard and he's really helpful if you need it. I would definitely recommend this class if you need honors hours!

Very easy class. Everything he says in class is word for word on tests. Only bad thing was that it was at 8am.

Nice guy, easy class!

The only bad things were that the class was at 8am and the guy is a bit odd. But take this class. Easy honors credit, I will probably end up with an A and do very little work for it. Could be more interesting, but it is not bad at all. Class always gets out early and he basically cancelled our midterm.

This is by far the best psychology professor to take. He enjoys what he does and he makes class as interesting as possible. There is an emphasis on group work, but if you do the group work you will definitely do well in the class.DON'T BUY THE TEXTBOOK. Everything he says is the exact information you need for the test and the exams are SUPER easy!

I expected an A; I ended up with the first B of my life. There is really no way to check your progress in the course. Your grade comes almost exclusively from exams, which can be tricky. I assumed this class to be easy, but was blindsided with my grade. He is a great guy, but the class isn't the joke that this website makes it out to be.

Dr. Groff is very interesting and makes the class enjoyable. The tests are tricky so make sure to study.

This class is easy for an honors course. The trickiest part is there really is not a structure so it is hard to keep track of your grade. Also, you HAVE to go to class. I was sick several times with a doctor's note during the semester. I showed him the note and I still lost points. I did well on all the tests and ended up with an A-. NO TEXTBOOK!

Great professor! Very interesting to listen to and he definitely has tons of experience and stories dealing with psychology to tell his classes. To do well in the class you need to take excellent notes, write down everything he says, that the only lecture he has. No powerpoint, or outlines. Take his class! Not difficult at all.

Take Dr. Groff's class, even at 8am. He is an awesome teacher, and tells some great stories about his days on Broadway(seriously) and about helping veterans at the VA. In his lectures he covers almost everything that will be on the test. I never even bothered buying the book. Also, he usually lets you out of class early, which is great.

Take him! Lectures are the test, don't buy the book. So many good stories & can give perspective on life.

Dr. Groff is a great! His class consists of mainly lectures and conference calls. We got out of class early every class. As long as you come to class and take notes, it's an easy A. He usually adds points back to your tests for participation during class so it is definitely worth going to class. Even at 8 AM, definitely take him!

Groff is an awesome teacher. He relates all the material to something that will help it make sense. plus he throws in stories about his days on Broadway that make the class fun and enjoyable even at 8AM. . He gives a hell of a lot of extra credit and always lets you out early. Word of warning, get ready for a lot of memorization. A LOT!!

Dr. Groff is a fun professor. It's a ridiculously easy honors credit. His notes are the tests; don't buy the book (or buy it cheap and use the practice questions like I did). We always got out of class at least 20 minutes early. A few assignments (easy) but mostly just the few tests. Go to class and take notes and you will be golden.

Dr. Groff was a very kind and interesting professor. All of the content on the tests come from his lectures, so you don't really need to bother buying the book. If you took AP Psych, it should be an easy but enjoyable A.

Dr. Groff has been my favorite professor so far. Really easy Honors credit, you don't need to buy the book because his tests are straight from the notes. You seriously can't miss them because when it's important he tells you to write it down. I'm not even a morning person but I would gladly go to his 8am because he is so interesting.

Great professor! All his tests come straight from the lecture, so don't buy the book. I made a quizlet before every test and made an A on all of them. Plus he gives 4 bonus pts for each test if you show up for "group work" which is super easy. He's funny, lets class out early, and talks about his time on Broadway and in the military. Take him!

He genuinely cares about his students and he began the year telling us we'd all get either an A or a B. Just write down everything he says and you'll do fine on the tests (I didn't buy the textbook and I never needed it). We only had to write two 1-page papers and we did a couple group presentations, but they weren't graded- just for participation.

Dr. Groff is a great guy, but leaves a bit to be desired when it comes to instruction. He didn't use a single Powerpoint the entire year, and absolutely nothing was posted on Blackboard. So, if you take him, be prepared to take GOOD notes. If you take good notes, you should do just fine. Everything in his lecture comes directly out of his mouth.

I took Dr. Groff for honors intro to psychology. He was a nice and funny guy, but he did not use any power points for his lectures. He teaches many classes and forgets who he has taught what to. To do well on his test you need notes from his reviews and another person in a different class if possible. Overall a good guy normal class.

Dr. Groff is very entertaining to listen to during lecture. He talks a lot about PTSD and his time at the VA. He is always always willing to help and meet as needed. His lectures are not on powerpoints and he does them straight from talking so you have to be listening and able to keep up well.

Groff was my favorite professor here. PY105 with him has been said to be easier than 101. He gives extra credit, but u need to go to class because he takes roll by doing group participation. dont buy the book, take notes and you'll make an A. His lectures r awesome and lots of classes are just videos

Dr. Groff is an exceptional teacher. Dr. Groff simply knows his material and knows how to convey it. He gives clear definitions and examples- simply listen and take notes. His tests are not tricky and he gives extra credit. You only know your test grades until end. Everything tested was said exactly in class, or he will help you. Truly love class!!

such a sweet great guy, goes out of his way to care for students. knows what he's talking about and will work with you if you're struggling.

Dr. Groff is one of the best professors I've had! You have no way of knowing your grade throughout the semester unless you go up and ask him but that's not a big deal since he's super fun to talk to. He goes over every test beforehand so go to class and you'll get an A. He also has huge curves every test! 10/10 highly recommend taking him.

Dr. Groff's class is extremely interesting and fun. He is always willing to answer student questions and offers extra credit through short papers on videos or guest speakers. Tests are multiple choice and taken from lectures- textbook is optional.

BEST EVER. Hes so chill. Attendance is not required, but you hardly do any work outside of class, so if you miss a lot of classes idk how you could do well. But the assignments you do in class are SO EASY. Seriously an all around great guy. Wish I had another psych class so I could take him again

His lectures aren't mandatory, but it really helps to go b/c of extra credit in class assignments. His tests are not hard if you take notes and study. He also gives assignments like one page papers but only talks about it in class, and gives it as extra credit. I made an A- and B-on tests but finished with an A+ because of all the easy extra credit

I loved Dr. Groff. He is well-spoken, lectures straight from his mind, and gives straightforward exams and assignments. The one frustrating thing is that you won't know your grade in the class unless you ask, but I think that is a small price to pay for how much I enjoyed his class. He tells you what to study for exams and is available for help.

Dr. Groff is the best! This is a super easy honors credit. He is really funny and makes his classes really interesting. I would 100% take him again if I could. You don't ever know what you made on your tests and what your grade is until the end of the semester, but this class is so easy even he says if you do the work you will make an A.

He was amazing, always reaching out to fix any mistakes or technical difficulties that sometimes occurred because his class was hybrid this semester. He graded in a timely manner, allowed us to make corrections on assignments, and was always available via text. It was obvious that he really strives to help students learn and he's super nice

Even though the class was online he made it very enjoyable. He is a good story teller and interesting to listen to. As long as you watch all the lectures and take notes you will pass with an easy A. No textbook was needed. He grades very easy.

if youre looking for a good honors credit, i love dr groff! he is so sweet and tells a lot of interesting stories. sometimes a few questions on the test are outside of what you learned in class, but overall hes an easy grader and very nice man.

Dr. Groff is an experienced psychologist and highly educated in his field. It is important to pay attention in lectures and take good notes. He makes himself very accessible via text. This class is straightforward, follow the instructions on assignments, do the work, watch or attend lectures, and you will most likely do well.

I absolutely LOVED Dr. Groff. He is a super sweet guy who has had an amazing life. He tries to make his students laugh in every lecture and will love you if you laugh at his jokes. It was a bit challenging, but if you put in effort you should be fine. He also gives extra credit. He really cares about making the class interesting and fun.

I loved Dr. Groff's PY105 class! He is such a sweet and understanding professor and is very easy to contact if you have any issues/questions. His material is always interesting, but it is important to do the papers assigned in between tests because they usually factor into your test grade to some degree. I would love to take Dr. Groff again!

I am not sure why others are complaining. He gave at least 8 homework assignments (short papers, essays, etc.) that were essentially a completion grade. On top of that, he gives short and interesting lectures. He is very friendly and helpful outside of class. He gives his phone number out to text him questions and always responds within minutes.

Dr. Groff is super funny and one of the best professors Ive had so far. Hes a psychologist, Vietnam Veteran, actor, etc. (the man is one of a kind) He brings in multiple speakers to keep the class lively and likes to give extra credit for reaction papers. If you study and actually care about the class then Id say an A is very attainable.

Groff is super nice. He always responds to emails and his lectures were always interesting. He even brought in a few guest speakers. He only counts test grades, but the tests are super easy and he always gave extra credit. I would definitely take another of his classes.

Dr. Groff is one of my favorite professors. He really cares about his students and focuses on general ideas instead of minute details. Grades were determined by 3 tests and a final exam, with participation grades here and there. Overall great prof and great dude!

Dr. Groff is super nice and understanding! As long as you go to class, do the (few) assignments, and participate you'll do fine. He gives so many opportunities for extra credit, and if you need them he usually makes accommodations. I will say his lectures are completely verbal (no ppt or anything) but I find them concise and easy to follow.

best professor. hands down. loved him.

Dr. Groff is a super great guy! He's pretty funny and his class is very relaxed. You'll do fine if you show up to class. The only issues are that he's pretty disorganized and the material isn't taught super thoroughly. I'd suggest a more rigorous section if you're a psych major. If you're just getting the credit, I highly recommend Dr. Groff!

Professor Groff is a super nice guy. He does a great job of keeping the class interested. I will say that sometimes it felt like we weren't learning much, but looking back at the class, I feel that I learned a lot. His tests are super easy and graded with an immense curve. He also frequently incorporates super easy group projects.

Professor Groff is a really interesting guy with a lot of real world experience in psychology. The material can be a little boring but he has a lot of great stories to keep it entertaining. He also brings in a lot of really cool people to talk to the class. Highly recommend.

AMAZING Professor! Dr. Groff keeps class fun and interesting. He is a really cool person himself too!! His lectures are very straightforward and you will never be confused about what material you are being tested on. If you come to class you can definitely get an A! I highly recommend Dr. Groff-no doubt about it!!!

Dr. Groff is great! Gives a ton of extra credit and as long as you go to class he'll literally tell you exactly what will be on the exam word for word, you don't need to study much to do well. Offers a ton of extra credit. Had him for an hour and 15 min class and he never went over 55 mins or an hour which was nice!

Dr. Groff is genuine and kind. He is very engaging and class participation is fun. There are guest speakers, and you write a few page response on the speakers. He tells you what will be on the exam, and if you go to class, you will definitely do well.

Dr. Groff was my favorite teacher this semister. He gives four test that are fairly easy and right from his notes. Easy A along as you put in a little work. He is so kind, funny, and wants us all to succeed.

He's really funny, and he made me less sad about having a 9 a.m. class. His tests are fairly easy and come directly from his lecture notes. He loves his job and wants you to succeed.

Dr. Groff is absolutely amazing. Although lectures were admittedly all over the place sometimes, he had a lot of really interesting stories from his time in the Army and working at the VA. He always made it very clear what was necessary to know for tests and will basically give you answers during tests if you ask. Highly recommended.

I took Dr. Groff for PY 105. He was a superb professor who genuinely cares for his students. I am not sure he knows how to use Blackboard and is on the older side, and you have to email him to ask for your grade, but seriously it's worth it. Asked after my wellbeing every time I saw him; understands issues arise. Go to lecture and you'll be fine.

Had my bike stolen at the beginning of the year and he asked multiple times throughout the semester if it had been found/I'd gotten another. Had his 8 am class and it was worth it, which is saying a lot from me. He places a lot of emphasis on attendance, so you really can't miss more than a few classes w/o a valid excuse.

I adore this man, he's incredible, so funny, and truly cares about his students. I would recommend you take him for any class you possibly can. This is a senior seminar, and we only wrote one major paper and a few small ones, and gave a few low-stakes presentations. It was easy but more importantly he is a GEM and everyone should get to know him.

This class was easy. The only assignments were tests and papers. Most of your grade comes from showing up to class and doing easy group work. His tests are easy, as he reviews them the class before. He will help if you have a question during the test. I would recommend if you're looking for an easy class, not if you want to learn about psychology.
