He is an awesome teacher, very nice course. I really enjoyed his lectures.

Amazing Prof

Good guy but talksTOO MUCH about being a cop talk about being a psychlogist too

Great class. Lots of knowledge and good sense of humour. Also very approachable.

Clear, friendly...but gives rather large surprises on exams. ie: Depthy questions not found in study guide

i had Perrot for 3 classes, excellent proff, only classes i didn't ever fall asleep in. His talking about being an ex-cop and clinical psychologist is interesting and relates to the course!

Awesome stories, fascinating discussion, nice guy.

Excellent prof. Lectures very interesting

Great prof. He is fair and very interesting. Make sure you go to class because he WILL ask guestions that are not in the book on the exam, but if you go to class you will know everything and do great.

Awesome Prof!He's quite busy, but will offer help when needed. Flies through lectures so learn to take notes quick, but overall one of the best profs i've had.

Pretty good. A bit of a stern personality, but he explains the material well.

Friendly guy; easy to talk to; gives many explanations for one point; sometimes can talk too much (which can get a little boring); is always late for class, so be prepared to stay later than the scheduled class time; tests have some tricky questions.

He's great! He's very fair, helpful, and makes classes interesting.

No Comments

Great prof, I never got to meet him b/c I did my course over distance (video) but he's very clear, kept my attention, and kept me interested throughout the course. He makes new theories easier to learn with interesting anectodes and analogies.

Not as good as he was in abnormal...

He always used examples from his own experience, which made the class much more interesting. It also made difficult topics easier to understand.

i had no problems with him

I had parrot for 3 psyc classes, trust me he is one of the best/most interesting psyc proff's at MSVU. He is a fair but hard marker. Class gets off topic, but really, just memorize the text (skip if you want).

teaches right from the text book - need I say more?

Tough but fair. He's definatly not the guy to go to with a sob story, but he's fair in his marking.

Dr.Perrot was a great teacher, and when he's happy so is everyone else. but he's also one of those really smart teachers that its impossible to argue with. plus his examples were really funny and relevant! i totally recommend him.

Perrot rules...his background in police work really helps him with good examples, hes a funny guy if you give him the chance.

I'm a self professed Perrott fangirl. I hunt classes he teaches just to take them. He's the best professor I've ever had. I recommend him to anyone.

He's my favorite teacher so far in psychology!!!

Love this prof. He's very helpful. took him by distance, so most of our communication was over web ct - always fast in responding... always enjoyed his lectures and I liked how he incorporates lots of real life examples, makes the material easier to remember.

Perrott is a good lecturer and seems very interrested in what he is talking about. Sometimes a bit too theoretical, not enough practical application. This is a hard class regardless who teaches it however He is very available to help. Don't expect to be babied along and if you have trouble with Perrott he is readily avail.

Dr. Perrott's a good prof. I think what some people call disorganization or lack of focus is really just granting students the dignity of autonomy over their own work. He focuses on salient points and allows students to address the mundane on their own time. Above all, he is extremely helpful and cares about the future endeavours of his students.

Great Prof, no question. A little reminder to all the 1-givers: it's easy to criticize others for your own folly. Keep up the good work, Perrott.

My favourite professor ever. I take whatever classes I can with him because he's actually interesting. He tries to relate the material to real life, which is apparently interpreted as being egotistical by some. If I can read a textbook on my own, I don't need a prof who just regurgitates what is written.

My favourite prof. I take whatever classes I can with him. He actually tries to relate material to real life, which includes his own life and apparently a lot of previous raters interpreted this as self-obsession. I can read a text book on my own, I don't need to go to lectures to have profs regurgitate the facts.

I have taken several courses with him, I have a personal fondness for him but do not do well in his classes, consistently my lowest mark. He is very disorganized but also very personable and approachable, you may not think it given his size but he is a kind person. Study off the textbook, his tests are tricky.

Awesome prof, knows his stuff and relates good to students. I look forward to taking another cource taught by him and would definitly recommend him as a prof ! (:

I've taken many of his courses and personally, I enjoy him! I love how he will mark the tests right in front of you afterward, if you're taking his course by distance. I think he's great!

I think people are forgetting that being a Prof is not a walk in the park. I can't imagine having that much work expected from me. Those people with negative comments should take his place for a day and maybe that would knock some sense into them. Dr. Perrott is a wonderful person and GREAT Prof. He truly cares about his students.

Very easy prof who was very easy to contact. Tests were short and to the point. Liked to take most material from the text but also applied other experience to subject matter which lead to interesting class. Loves talking about being a former police officer a lot...

Clear prof, easy marker. Tests are short, clear, and to the point. No trick questions. Gives only one assignment, so work load is nonexistent. Very dedicated to helping students succeed. Really goes out of his way to help struggling students. Loves to talk about his life a lot but I found it helped me apply those examples to the material.

He is really understanding, and he likes class discussions, even though they don't usually happen in my class. He puts everything online which is very helpful. I heard that you either like him or don't like him. I think he's a great proff. I will definitely take more of his classes.

Steve is fantastic. His lectures really help me remember how much I love psychology. He loves his anecdotes and spends the whole class telling stories, making it a welcome break for typical lectures. However, I think the best part about him, is that you can tell how passionate he is about psychology. That makes such a huge difference.

Dr. Perrott grades accordingly to the level course you are in. He is a tough marker but if you ask for help, he's 100% there to help, & will do everything in his power to help you understand the material. If you are going to slack off and expect to pass with a decent grade, don't take his classes but if you enjoy learning and work hard, he's great.

Professor Perrott presents much of the syllabus in an anecdotal manner. While powerpoint slides and assignments are used to disseminate class information; expect to hear many personal stories and memories to accompany his lectures. Some people do not enjoy this type of teaching method, but I find it makes it easier to remember class information.

Great guy

He is a good professor. Sometimes the test content surprised me because it was not what I studied.

Stephen is a great man himself, you can tell he is super passionate about his work. Lectures are fun, and go by fast because he is a goof and tells lots of stories that correlate, however you do not need to go to the lectures to pass, memorise everything from the textbook, EVERYTHING, and you will get a decent mark. Hes a tough grader for papers.

Stephen is hilarious. You have to have an open mind in regards to different opinions to appreciate his personality. He follows the book to a tee. Tests are all multiple choice and super fair. Would recommend!

Stephen is a kind man and he cares about students & spends time in class trying to make dry content relatable by telling personal stories. Be warned: he expresses his "old school" personal views on LOTS of topics. Exams are MC & short answer and come straight from the textbook (remember the small details!). I would take a class with him again.

Dr. Perrott is a gentle giant . His lectures are interesting even when he gets off topic. He is a great prof and person. Please take his classes.

Perrott is an underappreciated gem and I've taken as many classes with him as I could. Though his tests are textbook based, go to the lectures anyway for his funny/inspirational/anecdotal stories. He's honestly such a kind man, even though some people misunderstand his opinions, and his heart is always in the right place.

Great professor. Test's are challanging but fair if you study. Would reccomend

So... he is a bit of a tough grader. LOTS of tests, but thats the usual with PSYC classes. BUT he's a great guy, super funny and engaging class discussions. I would take his class, he's one of the better prof's at MSVU. Also understanding. Just study hard!!

Was nervous taking a course with Steve based on previous student feedback, but I'm glad I took courses with him. He is incredibly funny and kind. He may mark a little bit harder than others but this helps your future work improve. Lectures are a bit long sometimes but he has great stories to tell and has exceptional experience to help students!

Dr. Perrott quickly became one of my favourite psychology professors at the Mount. Even though showing up isnt mandatory, his classes help connect the material with real life situations. He is very accessible outside of class and an overall incredible prof. The tests are always MCQ and if you read the book, you will have no trouble in his class.

At first I was very unsure. Generational gap makes some things come across iffy, but overall very interesting. He knows what he is talking about, and will be honest if he isn't sure. Has a lot of experience, and shares interesting stories. Overall interesting material, stories, and honestly if you are interested in psychology a must take course

Dr. Perrott has a level of experience in the field that is very rare and he applies it to his lectures. He doesn't just repeat the textbook to you, but applies the concepts to his experiences working in the field. There are comments that he goes off-subject but what he "goes off" on is actually just applying what we are learning about.
