Nothing left to be said, just want every one to know he is one of the best teachers out there!
my first impression of him was that he was obnoxious...but after a few days...i had completely let go of my that idea. he tells you upfront that he expects effort and his tests reflect that. you must attend class, take notes, and (read) if you want an A. he knows the material very well, and is great at teaching us. very friendly and warm.
I hate this teacher. One, he has a massive ego for himself. When I went to ask for help he treated me like a child repeating and repeating until I just rolled my eyes at him. He is entertaining, but I am not studying for an IQ test so test me on the material not this is to this as this is to this. If you learn through book and lecture dont take him
THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD!! T.A.K.E. H.I.M!!!!!!!!! U WONT REGRET IT!!!
Wow. That's all I have to say about this guy. Best teacher EVER. Blew my mind with psychology. He tries to scare you about his tests telling you it's super-mega hard but I always paid attention and it was fairly easy. Great guy, he's like a comedian. Reminds me of David Spade. Awesome lectures. Always gotta take notes.
He does have a huge ego.But hes great and *really* funny.I hardly read the book I got a B. All based on notes.He makes the class really fun.TAKE THIS GUY!
If every school had a professor like this many more students would be in school today. Dr. Phillips make learning fascinating.
Professor Phillips is by far the best teacher I have ever had. His class is not easy, but if you read the book, take notes, and go to class EVERY DAY you will do good. Gives you chances to improve your grade with thought papers.
he is the greatest teacher you could ask for take his class hes really awesome!
hes a good teacher, but his tests are hard. the class is pretty interesting
Very interesting, knowlegeable, and relatable.
Steve is very knowlegeable, but his tests are kinda tough. If you take good notes and study your book, you'll pass the class. He makes the class very interesting. And he's good looking too!!!!!!!
He is a great teacher; makes the class super interesting and teaches with a great spirit! You don’t want to miss one single class with this guy! The tests are very hard and challenging, but if you devote some time, you can still pass with a good grade. I would definitely recommend him!
Absolutely the best! Very challenging, insightful, and thought-provoking. I looked forward to going to class, you learn the material and the tests are awesome ( if u study ) he is hot, and it's an injustice that all prof. aren't like him
excellent professor. made learning fun.humorous personality. no regrets what so ever.enjoys teaching, expects alot from students.steve doesnt take role, however the class is so fun that everybody shows up. to learn.if you want to enjoy your learning experience, steve is highly recommended.
Still one of the best teachers I've ever had, I wish he taught more classes so I could take him for a 3rd time. Taught me amazing lessons about life and myself that I still haven't forgotten years later. Take one of his classes!
I loved this teacher. Most of the test material comes from the notes. But read your book. His lectures are never boring. I got an A in his class.
best teacher ive ever had. he made me want to be a psychologist. i learned more in that class then i think i ever have. he made the class so much fun. because of his class im going to school for psychology and i plan on being a professor i can only hope im as good a teacher is he is.
This teacher is the best!!! He's test are a little hard but everything is from what he teaches! He's very passionate about what he teaches!! Funny, reminds me of David Spade!! Highly recommend this class!! Best class ive ever taken. You actually want to come to class.
funny guy . need to study, and plays mind games with you. but my god you learn in there.
u should take him :p
Awesome teacher. I didn't touch the book. Just take good notes and study them for the tests. Note that he is EXTREMELY DELICIOUS. Mmmm.
This is the best professor I've ever had! He is hilarious and has an extremely interesting and fun way of teaching. However, if your looking for an easy A don't take him. The tests are somewhat difficult and you HAVE TO READ THE BOOK. But if you enjoy psychology and want to learn, this is the class to do it in. A DEFINITE CHALLENGE
After Dr Phillips' classes, most other professors will seem boring to U. He's funny, fun, intelligent, but my favorite "feature" of his is that he urges students to think critically. Throughout the class he throws out stimulating questions and keeps your mind racing. I wish other professors cared about their students’ brains as much as he does.
Tremendously exciting classes! In fact, many professors should take Dr. Phillips classes so they would learn how NOT to put us to sleep. We don’t need to go to school to listen to someone read slides to us. Dr. Phillips is very interested in the subject he teaches and has a lot to say about it. He also wants his students to learn how to THINK.
A combination of attractive personality, eagerness to pass on knowledge, eloquence, and a wonderful sense of humor make professor Phillips classes indispensable! I love every minute of it! He takes our minds to the best places! His pet peeve: students who walk in late.
I agreee," many professors should take Dr. Phillips classes so they would learn how NOT to put us to sleep." His test are hard, you have to study, but he a great Professor!! He makes you think!
One of the best professors I've ever had. Bright, witty, fun, and sexy as hell! I just wish he wasn't married.
He's the BEST professor i've ever had... he really makes you think, he gves hard tests in order for you to think... i loved this class, i got an A... he really makes class fun and interesting. GO GATORS =) haha... he actually mad me wanna apply to UF... so thats what i did.
This professor is very good at keeping students interested. He knows how to teach. But his ego is too big for the classroom.
Oh my gosh as a junior in College Academy i thought this class was going to be soo hard. Professor Phillips is the best teacher i ever had. I wish he taught everything!
My FAVORITE TEACHER OF ALL TIME!! i couldn't stop cracking up in his class hes so funny! he really makes u think instead of just feeding u info. this guy literally changed my life i see everything differently now i love his mentality and he doesnt mind u comin in l8 but u wont want 2 miss out! curves ALOT! i got OVER 100 on ALL 4 TESTS!
Steve has revolutionized the term educator. I can't even begin to express how he's changed my view on life entirely. He's brilliant, witty, insightful and always willing to take the time to make sure you understand the concepts,and not just to be able to do the test, but to apply them in real life.
Awesome teacher!! If you show up everyday on time, take good notes, take down examples and overlap his outlines with the text, you'll do great, and really enjoy his class. If you choose to "own" the material, it will change how you think and deal with people in your own life. Can't thank him enough for teaching me...
I love him. Seriously MY FAVORITE TEACHER EVER, I have no idea why he's in bcc. He really wants you to learn and makes you actually think. You have to study for his tests but his class is definitely worth it.
AMAZING professor! The passion he has for psychology is incredible. He is extremely knowledgable and makes you WANT to learn. The class is extremely hard though. Tests are impossible! I received an A in the class but I did study a lot. Take him! Its worth it even if you dont get the A. He will change your life!
EVERYONE WHO SIAD THEY LOVE HIM ARE IDIOTS. DONT TAKE HIM. SURE HE TALKS ABOUT SEX IN CLASS AND MAKES YOU LAUGH, BUT HIS TEST ARE CRAZY HARD. YEAH HE LIKES WHAT HE DOES ALLRIGHT AND PULLS PSYCH TRICKS ON THE CLASS FOR HIS PERSONAL AMUSMENT. BOOK REQUIRED. THE ONLY REASON ATTENDANCE ISNT MANDATORY IS SO HE CAN TAKE OFF POINTS, NO MAKE UPS ON JOURNAL
absolutely love him!
amazing professor . if all teachers were like this , everyone would be in school , and acing through it as well. lectures are really interesting, and he's actually pretty funny, i laughed a lot during his class. also, he is ridiculously sexy, which doesnt hurt at all.
Great professor! His lectures are hilarious.. they will do anything but put you to sleep! His tests were pretty difficult, i struggled, but he did everything to help me! I recommend you take him!
Honestly, one of the best professors I have had. Having experienced many psychology professors I must say he is the best one. He challenges you to learn. His test are not that hard. As long as you take good notes and find the overlap with it in the book. His extra credit is awesome & there was never a dull moment in class. **Definetly Take Him**
This teacher is the best every!You will definitely learn something about others around you and most importantly,about yourself.I highly recommend his class.
Steve is an excellent teacher. He teaches according to a rigid outline (displayed on the board at every class) that follows the book. If you study, his tests aren't that difficult. Make sure you annotate the outline as he teaches and read the book at home, and you will have no problem with this class.
He is an amazing teacher. His notes are provided in a rigid outline which he places on the board. He discusses each point w detailed examples so that you can easily remember them. He makes class interesting and allows you to speak your mind. His test are VERY HARD but all the information you need is provided in your notes and text.
overall good teacher but he's test were very hard!!!
He knows the material, but his tests are very tricky and hard even you are study; you cannot pass. After each test, he will give every student a curve. Do not take him. He's the confused world with too many outlines.He Never goes to the book
Love this class! I read the book after listening to the lecture and the text is a lot more understandable. Uses a lot of stories and examples - some from the book. Tests are difficult but not impossible, make sure to study a few days a head of time. Has an intriguing sort of ego and pretty good ties. Cute in some bizarre way.
Steve is an amazing teacher! I love his class, he has a wonderful sense of humor, which makes class fun. His test are little difficult but as long as you study and read the book, then you are fine! Plus he is very cute, which isnt bad either. =]
Steve is one of the best professors ive ever had. I miss him. I wish other professors took classes with him to learn how to teach and keep us interested instead of making us sleepy. Some teachers should be embarrassed to call themselves professors. They dont have a clue what theyre talking about.
I'll never forget Steve's classes! He's a wonderful teacher, his energy is contagious and he's so hot! I wish I could take him to a desert island!
great! a lot of ppl think he is hard but he's really not. his test make you think but its a good think i took his class for general psycvhology & social psychology. he really knows his stuff & his lectures are so interesting and funny. take him!
Great Prof!! Very interesting keeps you listening until the very end of class. His tests are difficult, you will need to study!!!
FUN CLASS
Steve is the smartest, funniest, best professor out there. He is a genius!! He makes pyschology fun and interesting. His tests are not that hard as long as you study. The outline he gives you is everything - and he explains it so well that you actually understand the concepts. Bottom line - if you want to laugh non-stop & learn pyschology take him!
Steve has a gift for teaching! One of those professors who inspire you. He's very organized, focused, and gives tons of practical examples of how the theories work. And I have to say he's delicious!
super HOT, super FUNNY. what more could you ask for.itll b the end of the semester and his class still has 35 people in it. his tests are a bit hard. but if you study and read your book youll do fine. book is only necessary to study. you will want to go to this class even after the sem. is over.he will make you think so much that your head will pop
HIS TESTS ARE HARD! If you like jokes, psych, and being able to twist your friends and families mind, than take him. But watch out, he is like a tiger because he looks harmless but then bites with the tests. He does add curves based on the average and you must attend because he gives out random thought papers. If you need help, ask!
Great teacher. Class is so much fun. Its hard to fail just go over the notes and show up to class he gives like six 4 point thought papers that are there to help you not count against you. Alot of fun. Two hours just fly by when you in his class.
Some people find it difficult, I personally never studied at all and I am still coming out with an A. I loved his class from start to finish. I was never bored, and on top of that, I have picked up many helpful tips on dealing with people. Completely gives you a new perspective on life. Take this class... please take it.
He wants respect... Right off the bat he tells you to call him Steve. He is one of the best teachers ive ever had. I am not the "i love school type" and i loved his class.I took all the classes I could with him. And the fact that hes smart and hott help. I would reccommend to anyone.
Steve is an amazing teacher!! I wish all teachers taught like he does, I never wanted to miss his class! He teaches you everything you need to know to "screw" with people..haha! No really, he's wonderful I suggest everyone take his class!!!
Best teacher ever! This guy is awesome, teaches so much, and really loves what he does. You can't be bored in his class. So glad I got him! Would definitely take him again. Hope you don't mind him poking a little fun at you!
He was one of the best Profs I had a BC. I would definately recommend him to anyone. Go Gators!!!
Great teacher, loves what he does. Please take this class! He'll give you a new perspective on things and you never want to miss a class. Seriously, you'll never be bored with him.
Steve was definitely one of my favorite teachers in all my years of going to school. His class was extremely entertaining. He is so passionate about what he does and is the farthest thing from monotone. You absolutely MUST read the chapters. Will be hard to pass the tests if you don't. Overall the class is easy, and he is very cute! so take it!
This class was extremely HARD! Steve is a funny guy, but he is not lieing about the difficulty of his tests. He says attendance is not mandatory, but missing a class will definatly hurt your test grade. The class is boring, he NEVER lets you out early. I spent the last 30 minutes eyeing the clock dieing to get out.
This class was awesome. I actually had fun while learning! I highly recommend taking this class with Phillips.
EVERYBODY NEEDS TO TAKE STEVES CLASS! Steve was the best teacher I have EVER had. He really knows what he's talking about and makes class extremely interesting and fun. Its like watching a comedy stand up act about psychology. I got C's on all the test but got an A in the class because I turned in all of the thought papers. AMAZING CLASS!!!!!!
AMAZING TEACHER. If u go to class listen then study with the book youll do fine the test really arent that hard (he curves all test)thought papers help alot! you wont wana miss this class =]
He gets such rave reviews. He is a good teacher overall but he tries to press his views onto you. He acts like we were all spoon fed and given everything. Like I said, good teacher, but he thinks his views are always right and everyone else's is wrong.
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR. he definitely gives the classroom a whole new meaning. He's hilarious and he gives plenty of examples to include in an outline (Organizing info. in our head to remember for test). His tests were a bit difficult. I recommend asking for advice on how to study. Overall, this was the best class I've ever taken!
This teacher made this class so interesting with his personal stories and examples. He's pretty funny too and extremely helpful. I got a B on the first test and then went to his office to get his personal study tips...after that I got all A's. You actually do have to read in order to do well.
His class was awesome! His tests are pretty hard but as long as you study his outlines and read the book, you'll do great! He makes it impossible to fail his class because he gives random fun thought papers and gives curves on his tests. He's a great teacher period! He's defiantly enthusiastic about psychology! I'd take him again! :)
tests were different then the study guides. dont take the class!!!!
he was one of the best professors i had. he really has a passion for teaching and wants us to really learn and understand the material. i will miss his class. highly recommended!!!you will not regret taking him. just come to class, pay attention and read the book and your guaranteed an A
Excellent class!! You need to read the book to do well. I got a C because of not reading that much. But if u read u can do well. The tests are hard but this class I learned sooo much in because of his examples and real life discussions. Loved this class and so did everyone else. Was even sad when it ended, lol. Terrific teacher and very helpful!
Excellent Professor!!! I gotta admit, this was one of my best classes in college. This class was the only class i wanted to attend. He draws your attention towards the topic with excellent examples and has a good sense of humor too. Well, the tests were kind of hard but if you pay attention and take notes then getting an A isn't really hard.
Just finished his class from summer term. He is a pretty cool teacher and makes you want to attend class. He thinks that his views and perspectives are right and will be quick to shoot down your suggestion. Is borderline arrogant. Attendance is a must but he teaches really well and gives great examples. Listen, do work, get good grade
Best teacher in the world. He gives great examples. Really hard to sleep in his class because it is so much fun! a joy, i promise. and he gives good advice on real life problems. TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS TEACHER! attendence is required for extra points (thought papers which are easy)! TAKE it!
This was my favorite class. Steve was a very good teacher and made the class fun. His tests were definitely hard, you really have to study to get it totally. I would have to take 3 days and read all the chapters, but I took the class seriously since its my major. He thinks everything he believes is right, but overall excellent teacher.
Best teacher I've ever had, hands down! Uses a lot of examples and personal experience to help you understand. Thinks he's never wrong but I prefer confidence over uncertainty. Doesn't take roll call but I never missed a class because his notes are very helpful and the class is a blast! Better read the book but it's still interesting. Take him!!
Steve is an amazing teacher. He's funny, interesting and 100% fair. Just go to class, pay attention, and get an A.
best teacher i've ever had, his classes are always very interesting..i never wanted to miss a day...his test are a bit tought but if you read the book and pay attention you'll be fine..i seriously fell in love with this teacher from the minute i walked in his class! i wish i could take him again..definately got my moneys worth!
This class was one of my favortie. Not only was it interesting but his advice will help you in the long run. Awesome teacher he gives you chances of extra credit if you just show up to class and write thought papers and trust me you wouldnt want to miss his class. Def worth it! Go gaterss! you will see what I mean lol
i can never not pay attention in his class. if you study the notes he gives you and maybe read some pages from the book, you'll get an A. the notes he gives you is really helpful for the future. he definitely is the best professor ive ever had
honestly the hardest teacher ever. his test are more than difficult. i would study every night for more than three hours and still get C's on my tests even with curves. He is really funny though and makes things interesting....
He's good because he knows how to keep you interested. However, he thinks he knows everything, and only his views are right. Too inflexible for a psychologist. He's bad because he's manipulative.
Took twice at FAU - Best teacher I have ever had. Attendance is not mandatory, but gives random thought papers to increase attendance. In the two classes I've taken with him, I've never missed a class because they're so fun. Tests are hard, but you actually learn from him. Don't take if you're looking for an easy A - take if you want to learn.
Not only is he fun to look at, but his lectures are incredible. I've never been so excited to learn or go to a class as much as when I took his psych and social psych class! I wish he taught other subjects bc I'd take him for everything!
He's expected a psychology teacher to be. He's sarcastic and funny. He knows his stuff inside and out. His tests are harder than others but if you use the outlines he give you than youll be fine. He doesnt care if your there or not but he gives us surprise paragraphs to do in class that will help boost your overall grade.Take this class!
BEST PROF I'VE EVER HAD!! I never wanted to miss class! He's really funny and everything he says is interesting. You have to take this guy!
He's interesting and very funny guy but when it comes to his tests, they are VERY DIFFICULT. I would spend weeks on studying and still do poorly...VERY HARD to pass his tests...
Really good teacher, he knows what he's doing and will answer any question. However he "doesn't care whether you show up or do good in the class" Make sure you takes notes, he puts up an outline and they will help you. The tests are hard but he does a curve. The guy is insane but funny. I would only recommend him if u can deal with arrogant people.
This guy is amazing! He really gets you into psychology!. Has 4 tests. they are difficult but if you study notes and book really well you'll do fine. Gives out 7 thought papers, 2 is ec. also gives 10-7 point curve on each test! Got an A in his class!
Steve is a extremely interesting prof. Hes great at what he does, but his tests are very difficult. 4 tests, and 8-10 "thought papers" which are just your opinion on the given topic, which cant be made up if absent. Like i said, real good at what he does but the tests are confusing and hard!!!!
Extremely hard teacher! definitely not a class if you want an easy A, but he makes it interesting, so if you like to study take it. if not, and if your not a psych major i wouldn't recommend taking the class.
Omg Steve his the greatest funniest teacher ever! his test are super hard! study study study!! he makes the class intresting and fun its not mandatory to go but i advice you to do cuz if not u might miss a thought paper and u might not get credit for it. other than that his great take him but study ur butt of in order to pass
he's a really great teacher, not to mention hilarious. he is very clear with his teaching method, but his tests are a killer, you have to study a lot to pass his class
Steve is an awesome Professor who definitely has a passion for psychology! His lectures are wildly entertaining and he is absolutely hilarious! I highly recommend him. However you must be prepared to study hard for his class. You should create your own outlines which will help you study.
I took his class years ago and I still remember his name and his teachings. He is by far the best professor I have had. He is very interesting and charismatic. His class is not an easy A. You have to go to class (even though it's not mandatory), pay attention, and take notes. You will not regret taking the class.
this teacher is very funny and keeps the class interesting his tests are hard but if you study you'll do fine
best damn teacher ever in this stuff... tests might be diffucult but his class just makes it so interesting. regardless of his tests, his class is worth going to
Steve is such a great teacher! I notice that I refer to him a lot bc I learned so much in his class. His tests are 50 multiple choice questions and are very tricky. You really have to know your stuff, bc several answers can sound right. Class goes by pretty fast and I didn't want the semester to end! Take him! He's funny and u learn a lot
The tuition is worth his entertainement value. He loves what he does; test are not hard but you have to understand his thinking. They are based on a is to b as c is to __ if you know how to work those out in your head they are simple. If you show up to his class it is an easy pass. His test question are verbatim from his lectures.
He dosen't take attendance, but if you miss one lecture,your going to miss a lot of notes- great teacher to listen to, not boring but tests are extremely difficult. If you don't like reading/taking notes and studying, at least 2hrs a day,(on this subject),don't tkae this class cuz you'll never pass.
lecture contains sexual innuendos-good instructor-class not easy-likes to refer to sex a lot.little over dramatic- may want to be an actor-little over the top at times-but class is entertaining-take good notes-don't miss class, will miss lecture notes and he won't give them if you miss class-doesn't follow the text too much.
Best professor, pay attetion, read. read, read. Quiz are hard, but he'll give you tips to study. Best class ever.Other teachers should learn from him.Great class, great teacher.
Steve is hands down one of the best, most knowledgable professors I've ever took a class with. He's not an easy professor, this is not an easy A class but you will learn SO much. He's also a hottie
I loved this class! Attendance is not mandatory, but you don't want to miss his notes, which the tests are based off of. He's so smart, really loves what he does, and it was my favorite class that semester. I got an A in the class because I never missed a single class, and copied down everything he said. Study those notes!
HE IS AMAZING. such a genuis at what he does. Very informative and great structure of teaching. If you dont get a A its because you did not take the time to fully read and MEMORIZE the examples!! great professor.
Freaking awesome professor!!! i could sit there all day and listen to this man.His testes are hard so studying is a MUST its hard.But man his amazing her speaks to you with knowledge,examples of life and everything in between really makes you think about the possibly in the world and how to think!!! super AMAZING!!
What an awesome teacher. I wish his classes were longer, his lectures are just that good ! Turn in ALL thought papers and to pass the tests, you must memorize the details of ALL the case studies listed in the book and from his notes, this is why his tests are so hard for most people... trust me: STUDY THE CASES and vocab and you'll pass!
amazing professor. the only reason that I looked at my watch during the class was because I was afraid it was gonna be over soon. you never get bored. he teaches on a personal level( almost no one does that!) if you take good notes and study them, the tests are really easy.
He's a great teacher! He keeps you engaged. Tests are challenging, but not difficult if you read his notes in advance. I only used the text book if something was unclear to me. You will really enjoy and learn in his class.
AMAZING TEACHER
The most amazing professor that I've ever had. I wish h taught all of my classes! You actually learn with this guy, but the way you learn is phenomenol. He's got excellent charisma. His stories are hilarious, I was always EXCITED to go to class...and I'm SAD that class is over. However, studying is a mandatory thing but an A is def achievable :)
Great profesor, He's very into his profession, very arrogant; tries to be a comedian with his lecture(s)...He an be a bit sexual with certain topics. Overall, he's very professional.
He is NO good. Not very helpful, Extremely conceited and loves failing people. I woould NOT take this guy.
Steve's class is definitely interesting/entertaining. He's super nice too, so it's easy to ask him questions when you need clarification on something. His tests can be challenging if you don't study. His class is not an easy A, but it's not impossible either. Just pay attention in class, take notes, read the textbook, and use the study guide.
By far the best teacheri ever had. He really loves his job and he puts his heart into what he teaches he doesnt care if u come to class or not but i would make it mandatory. study his notes and his examples in class not definitions assigns 7 thought papers that helps boost your grades but u have to be in class to get them he only announces it once.
Steve is overall an awesome teacher. His tests are a bit challenging however, it keeps things interesting. By far my favorite teacher. He does'nt make you come to class but missing class might affect your grade just because the lectures teach a lot. I never want to miss a class just because I love his class. You will be glad you took his class.
great teacher. great guy. very funny. you learn alot in his classes.TAKE AMAZING NOTES!!!! he says read the textbook, i only used it to clarify things he said in his notes. only 4 tests, 7 "thought papers". The papers are very easy and boost your grade but you have to be in class to get them. test are tricky and you really have to study. recommend!
Great professor! Funny, intriguing, and cool. His test are a bit challenging but I suggest to you to take advantage of all he has to offer as far as succeeding on his test. I did! Pay attention to outline and examples.
He is a great teacher. you dont have to come to class but you will come to class because you just will love his class. He will teach you great things for your daily life. I highly recommend him. Exams are tricky but if you study his notes and the texbook you will pass.
His class was very interesting and his examples are so funny! Great professor. Do not miss a day in class you will fall behind and he gives you 7 thought papers to help your grade but you have to come to class his test are hard you have to take good notes on his examples
I wish I would have known about him sooner!!! I loved his class so much! Best psych teacher ever! His test are hard but his class is so worth it. He gets you thinking and his lectures stick in your head. He says you should read the book but i didnt, still managed to get a B. Then again I'm really into psych.Read it if its your first psych class
He is such an amazing teacher very funny,honest and hard u better study if u take him!!
If you want to take Psych take him!! He's a fantastic teacher his tests are hard but write down all the notes and examples that he uses in lectures,study, and read the chapters and you'll pass. He's really funny and makes class interesting. By far the best teacher at Broward.
The best teacher by far! very funny and outgoing took him for general psych and social psych! his test are hard but if u are in class and take all the notes and examples you will get a good grade. advice record his class (he doesnt care) cuz then u can laugh at home and the examples will stick in ur head when u are studying. Take him!! best ever!!
Steve is one of the greatest professors out there! I wish he would teach more classes! His teaching style is so effective. He is a genius at what he does. Attendance is not mandatory BUT with having a professor so great,funny, & smart.. who wouldn't want to show up to class everyday? He was the highlight of my day :) love him!
funny and he teaches right exactly from the book. HARD TESTS better be prepared for them. knows how to teach.
I only got a C because I didnt study well enough for his tests, this guy is the real deal. great teacher, enthusiastic, and keeps everything very interesting. I plan on re taking him soon to do things right this time and get an A. awesome professor!
Really amazing teacher, loved his lectures and looked forward to them! Test are hard if you miss class and notes, but I Aced the class easy.Helps that he's not bad to look at!
He's the man. The only down side of taking his class is that no teacher lives up to him. He's the best teacher I have ever had. I'm sad I don't have him any more.... I know I'm being a pessimist.... HE'S THE BEEEES KNEES! TAKE THIS DUDE. He is inspiring, yet so modest. I think I'm gunna cry now... Take this dude :')
Steve is amazing! If you think otherwise, it's probably because you're one of those students just looking for a quick,easy A and he definitely isn't going to give that to you. Notes are essential, as is reading and studying. If you're up for the challenge of a professor worthy of the title, take this class! You won't regret it.
he was an awesme teacher, makes you want to go to class. his tests were very hard, but if you studied you will get a good grade. i would take him again!!
He's fantastic. He's so funny. You want to go to class everyday because his lectures are so interesting, and so that you don't miss a thought paper. Tests can be challenging, but their doable. He says read the book, but he covers everything on the tests. He curves every test. As long as you take good notes and study the notes you will be fine.
Dr. Phillips was one of my first professors and I wish more could be like him! He is so funny and his lectures are always entertaining, actually wanted to go to class. You do have to study bc tests are not easy but gives extra credit which really helps out in the end. I got a B in the class but worked for it! Take the class you won't regret it!
This guy is seriously hilarious. Test are challenging but if you pay attention to the analogies given in class and read your textbook you will be ok. There is never a dull moment in class
I took Dr. Phillips for Social Psychology, this professor is so amazing I'm still quoting the information he taught me a year later. Seriously awesome! We need more professors like this.
Steve is my favorite professor. I recommend everyone to take him! He's funny and his classes are entertaining! I've learned so much about psychology and about life in his class. He'll make you rethink and question your thinking and behaviors.TAKE HIM!
STEVE IS THEEEEEE BEST!!!!!! TESTS ARE CHALLENGING BUT JUST STUDY THE NOTESSSSSSS!!!! BEST PROFESSOR ON EARTH ALAWYS GIVES GREAT EXAMPLES WHICH HELPS U LEARN
His honestly a great teacher, his lectures are amazing. You have to apply yourself to the notes and read over the text, his test are hard.
He was amazing, honestly the best professor to take psychology, i highly recommend this class, you will learn psychology and apply it to everyday life, he is SOOOOO FUNNYYY!! i really enjoyed his class:)
Tests are hard if you do not study! BUT he makes the lectures come alive! He is humorous making it easy to loose yourself in his lessons at times. (Just be sure to take good notes (the outlines are provided for you)) I looked forward to his class and learned a lot. The lessons helped me in various ways when I applied it to my own life.
Professor Phillips is AMAZING!! Best professor, I've had at BC yet. His class isn't hard, it just requires you to think about things in different scenarios, not just memorize definitions, and you do have to read the book. I wish I would have known about him I would have taken him for Gen. Psych, please teach AdvGen Psych, professor Phillips!!!! :C
Phillips is a great teacher, and very easy on the eyes.
Ahhh I don't even know where to start! I loved this class. His lectures made me look forward to coming to class. Very interesting material and interesting professor. He's funny and likeable. I would 100% recommend him. Tests are kind of hard, study for them though and you'll be fine. Take good notes.
I loved this class so much that I wish I could take it again. amazing teacher. he's incredible. I recommend him for anyone even if you aren't really into psych he will make you love it. take him!!
Just study your notes and you'll pass.
Awesome Professor! Highly recommend you take him if you are interested in psychology. His tests aren't easy but he helps you understand the concept of studying to better yourself in the future. Take him, you'll learn some helpful life long lessons along with some social psychology :)
Wonderful professor Took him twice the first time I really underestimated his tests. Then the next time I took my time to study and got a well deserved B. Never takes attendance but you would want to go to class you learn a lot Would highly recommend him
I love his class!! He has unique style and his lectures are easy to relate to. His in incredibly funny and as someone put it, "easy on the eyes" :) His tests are pretty difficult and if you don't have the book to compare to the class notes, you're in for a ride.. Should you be struggling in his class- just stop by his office and he'll help! :)
Best Professor ever, he's the funniest dude alive. His class isn't hard, what he teaches corresponds to the book, which you'll be reading a lot, and his notes are clear as day, they're very organized. When it comes to a test a lot of the questions are based off of examples he gives in class so it's IMPORTANT to be there. Very laid back person. :-)
love Steve he's great! but beware his test are impossible! I study all week for his test and barely full off a C. he's the funniest and coolest professor but his test will give you a headache a solid one question in.
This class is INCREDIBLE! I was so unsure if I wanted to go into Psychology and he made me fall in love with the subject over again and even harder. It's a tough class, he makes you work for your grade, but it's so worth it. You learn sooooo much. This class is literally the highlight of my school week. No joke. Take him. :D
Steve was absolutely AMAZING! I wish he taught every subject. There are 4 exams, and while they are extremely difficult, they can be passed if you study. My final grade is an A.
His lectures are clear, easy to follow, and very interesting. Make sure to take good notes because the tests can get tricky. Hes very willing to help and just all around a really great professor. You get something out of every class. Its a challenge, but it makes you think differently, which I really appreciated.
A++ teacher. He is going to CHALLENGE you like you've never been challenged before. Gives 4 tests; be prepared to study 20 hours for each test. It is well worth it. If you get an A, you will earn it. Does not take attendance. (Steve laughs at it.) Still has 95%+ attendance rate which shows his skill as a teacher.
This was honestly my favorite class of all time and so sad it's over. I wish he taught more subjects because I would take any class he taught. His classes are hilarious and mind opening. You need to study your notes and read the book but you'll remember everything he says because he makes it memorable. Take his class! You wont regret it!
I can truly say he's one of those professors that change your life! You not only take this class for a grade, but it helps you in Life to grow as a person and understand others. Study for his test they're no joke. Go to every class its different reading from the book than being in class! Recommend to take his class!!!
I was questioning my decision to major in psychology when I was taking his class but on the first day I fell in love with the material all over again. His outlines at every organized and helpful. If you need any help email him, whether be personal or about the class. Amazing teacher. Will most definitely take him again
He's one of those professors that is passionate about the subject. He will get you addicted to psychology. Tests are a challenge. He will make you work for your grade. Don't take him if you want an easy A.
PLEASE TAKE!!! I am actually upset the semester ended because he is THAT good. He is so hilarious and gives plenty of examples to help you understand. As long as you write down his outlines and some notes that he says, its easy! PLUS he curves the grade so when I got 70's on the test, I ended up with A's. He's awesome, best teacher ever!
Steve is hands down the greatest professor I've had... ever. His examples in lecture are ridiculously funny and brilliant. He's crystal clear from day 1 on what he expects. He treats every student like an adult an will graciously hear you out of you have a question. I was heartbroken when the semester ended..
His class is NOT easy, if you are used to easy A's and slacking this isn't the class for you. However, it is the BEST class you will ever take. Steve is hands down the best professor at BC. I am not even a psychology major but he had me loving every second of his class, I was so sad the semester ended because I loved being in his class that much.
Psychology is psychology so no matter what professor you have it's going to be tough but you'll want it to be tough with him. He lectures about the material in a way that's easy to grasp and understand, he's really funny and has experience in the psychology field. A lot of amazing stories and gives extra credit. I'd take him again. TAKE HIS CLASS!!
Excellent teacher, I loved this class. The way he explains everything is very clear and funny. The stuff you learn is not only for the class but for your life. I would take him again in another class. The tests are tough you have to take notes, read the book and take good notes, study a lot for tests and you will pass the class. Amazing !!!
P. Phiilips was awesome! great proff and his lectures were super interesting as well as engaging. I def recommend this proff to anyone interested in psychology. He will make you love the subject. He mean business in his class and you better study and TAKE NOTES!! Dont miss class either bc everything said in class is important and laugh at his jokes
He's an amazing teacher. He makes lectures funny and keeps you awake in class. not a boring class what so ever. his exams are very hard though, but if you read the textbook, and take good notes, and study you'll do fine! thought papers are very important and can help your grade at the end of the semester big time! loved him!
Great teacher! Very helpful and cares about the students. Clear and I love that he teaches without powerpoints! Totally recommended.... BUT Study for his test !!!!!!!!!! STUDY STUDY STUDY!
Best professor I've ever had. Keeps his lectures fun and interesting, and he has great teaching methods. Never get bored of his class!
Steve will change your life. No joke. I took his class 2 years ago and I'm now at FAU working on my BS. He is still the best professor I have ever had. If you want an A in this class, you will work your ass off. He grades on a curve but only b/c his tests are based off state exams. The tests are tough, you need to study. But it is 100% worth it.
Steve is one of the best teachers I've ever encountered in my academic career. He makes the material interesting and funny. You have to take good notes in order to pass his class. His tests are mostly based off of his lecture notes. The tests aren't easy but if you study hard and pay attention in class, you will definitely pass.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!! I loved him from the start. His lectures were amazing and he keeps them very interesting. Funny guy and very straight forward. His tests are hard and I had trouble in the beginning, but he offered me help and the tests became easier to me. If you want to pass take notes apply them with the book. 10/10 would take again!
One of the best professors I have ever had. Extremely clear on what he expects from his students. His lectures are entertaining and interesting and likes when the class engages with him. Tests are NOT easy, but if you pay attention and read the book, you should be more than fine :)
Steve was amazing!! His lectures were so interesting, you can tell he loves doing what he does. The class isn't as hard as people make it seem, I only rated it a 3 because you actually have to study and read in order to pass his tests. He does curve his tests. I'm honestly going to miss his class next semester!
Amazing and inspirational lectures. Class rarely felt long enough for the great material we covered each day. The tests were challenging, but paying attention, taking notes, and reading the textbook made them much easier. Steve really cares about the topics he covers and gives memorable examples. Take his class if you can! It could change your life
Steve is the best professor I've ever had. He loves what he teaches and it's contagious. You will love what you learn from him and will find yourself seeing things you talk about in class happen in real life. Take good, organized notes, and be there every class. He expects the best out of his students and gets it. Take Steve whenever you can!
Most funniest professor ever, he tells the best stories and examples to help you understand. GET THE BOOK AND READ EVERY CHARPTER HE ASSIGNS it will help with the test. His test aren't typical test instead of vocabulary and definition its example and real situations. Study the notes and you'll do fine on the test.
Best professor ever hands down! His class is so funny and lively, you really do learn a lot from him. Steve covers a lot of material in each lecture but the way he teaches and breaks it down for you really helps you understand the concept/material so easily. If you study the notes he gives you in class, you will pass with flying colors.
Steve is sooooo funny and makes the lectures easy to understand. There are four tests that are tough, but with studying you should be okay. He also has small short responses questions given randomly through out the semester so you should attend class all the time. It's easy to keep your grade up if you completely fail one test. Best professor ever!
best teacher in the country. idk what hes doing at BC because he always talks about his PHD from UF lol. Either way hes amazing, his class is eye-opening to young brainwashed american students. You really have to write down everything he says- i recommend you bring a computer so you can type, and fix your spelling mistakes later lol
He's an amazing professor. Very helpful and insightful with lectures. Will definitely take his other classes!
Steve is definetely the best professor i have ever had. This guy's class is the best i have ever taken his lectures are real eye openers and he will make you think about this society and humanity. In order to pass this class you will need to put effort and study!! You want this class to be hard believe me, if you want something easy this is not the
Steve is awesome (he actually prefers you call him Steve) He's a very good professor, his notes are clear and to the point. You should read the textbook because thats what all his tests are based of. I would totally take his class again I really enjoyed his lectures and he gives good life advice too lol TAKE HIM!
Steve is the greatest professor I've ever had! He is so amazing and if you study the tests are not as hard as they could be. He is by far one of the greatest psychology professors you could take at BC.
Best class ive taken in a while
Professor Phillips was awesome. He was for sure one of the best professors I've ever had. His test though, are very very tough. Make sure you read the textbook even after you hear his lecture. If you really want to learn about psych, he is the one to take. Make sure you study for the tests!!!!
You have to definitely study and read in this class. Although I only received a C, this was the greatest class I've taken. He's hilarious and knows how to connect with the students. He almost makes you want to become a social psych yourself. Definitely take this class!
Honestly he is the professor you don't want to miss out on. He makes his lectures fun and inspirational. Every class was worth going and felt like 75 minutes was not enough. His tests are not the easiest, but not tough either. I wasn't interested in psychology much, but his class changed my attitude. Take his class and you won't regret.
By far the greatest professor I have had. Amazing professor/person. He truly cares about his students and how they are doing as long as they are putting in effort as well. He makes the concepts extremely clear to understand. It is 100% possible to pass with an A as long as you take thorough notes and read the book in sync with the lecture.
Steve is the best! His lectures are so amazing he turns difficult theories and concepts into simple things. Some people thought his tests were difficult but I didn't receive anything lower than a B. Easy A as long as you read the book and show up to class. I promise you don't want to miss out on his class. I didn't miss one class the whole semester
Felt inspired by his massive ego, captivating lectures, and overall great personality.
Made me fall in love with Psychology! He wants you to have na understanding of why we do things. Awesome personality that makes the class extremely interesting.. BEWARE his tests are difficult. If you do not study your notes and do the reading you wont get good test grades. He curves the tests and has "thought papers" that boost your grade.
By far he is the BEST professor. he is very interesting, he likes to challenge his students. his tests are very confusing and are hard but if you take good notes in class and compare it with the book and actually understand the concept youll pass with an A. you can reach him outside of class ALWAYS. he's there for his students. TAKE HIM,!
I love this professor, taking his class again next semester hes just amazing
Amazing professor. His tests are hard, but if you just pay attention in class and read the textbook, you'll do just fine. The thought papers definitely help, too! His lectures are definitely helpful. His class was one I always looked forward to. He does not take attendance, but it's hard to pass his class if you don't show up.
Steve is a true gem here at Broward College. Not only does he have engaging, thorough lessons that turn difficult concepts into simple ideas, he has an energetic personality to match. His lectures made the course concepts stick like glue and his tests are not too bad if you truly listen to lectures and refer to the textbook from time to time.
From day 1, Steve has you hooked. He is the best professor i have ever had. Be attentive and pay attention, Don't go in there to mess around. If you want to learn, Take his class.
I would take his class again & again. Steve is extremely insightful and his lectures don't even feel like lectures. He teaches you so much about you, the people around you. If you skip class you won't pass plus you don't really need the book but it's a great book either way. His class is breeze if you just pay attention.
Steve is by far my favorite professor, I had him last semester and I still go visit him at office hours! He is really funny and uses real life experiences to make class understandable. Attendance isn't mandatory but his (POP) thought papers come in handy helping to bump your grades. STUDY, HIS TESTS ARE HARD!! Over all I absolutely loved his class!
One of the best professors I've ever had. He is engaging, hilarious, helpful, and practices what he preaches in psych. Attendance and reading are crucial. He makes the class fun.
Best Professor EVER! He gives everyday examples of what is being taught. Tests are tough but apply yourself, read the book, show up, and you'll pass. He makes going to class a worthwhile experience. Also gives extra credit throughout the semester to help boost your grade. Apply yourself and have fun. You'll get a lot out of his class!
Stephen is an awesome professor, his lectures are crazy, funny, and make you really think. He does all the notes in an outline, doesnt use powerpoints or D2L, pay attention in class, take notes, read the textbook and you should be fine. Only grades are the test grades, his tests are difficult and challenging you really need to study to pass them.
This guy is by far the best teacher I've ever had. Not only did I learn something, but I am now using it in my business endeavours. He's made class fun and exciting. Never had I waited for a teacher to teach me. You'll be glad you took him.
This professor is AMAZING. His lectures are organized, engaging, and clear. He uses great examples and real world scenarios to help his students really understand the material. His tests are aren't too difficult but you have to know your stuff in order to get a good grade. If you pay attention in class and take good notes, you'll be fine.
He's a really great teacher his tests are very tricky, he try's to explain them as best as he can but it's still tough. Notes are a MUST, missing one day could get you off track. Great professor what you learn will be needed in the long run.
Best professor I've ever had. Psych major? Take EVERY psych class he has to offer. I promise you won't regret it. You can tell when a professor is eager to teach you and has a passion for psychology. Lecture heavy and text book required. DON'T MISS ANY LECTURES.
BEST EVEER!!! The way he teaches drives me insane. He is phenomenal. I got the highest grade (110%) he always had and based on what he told me but that is not why I'm saying he's amazing. Oh god just take him I cannot describe it with words. He will change your life for real. You cant stop thinking about psychology every. LOVE YOU!
Amazing Professor, he has a passion for Psychology and really wants you to understand his lectures and keeps you interested. 100% take him!
the best professor hands down, pay close attention to the examples he uses in the class lecture that's the key points of the tests. he is hilarious!
HE IS AMAZING! TAKE HIS CLASS!! His lectures are great, you will definitely not be bored in his class.
Hilarious, fun, def don't miss class. id take again just to hear the stories and because he makes psychology interesting. cares about his students wants you to learn some life tools. pay attention youll learn something. so far the ONLY B i've recieved at BC which killed my 4.0 but i would do it again. Take his class make efforts get a B like me
Steve is by far the greatest Professor I've ever had. He is brutally honest, and his teaching methods are fantastic, he keeps you engaged the entire class. He assigns thought papers which do wonders for your grade so make sure you attend class on those days! Also, his tests are very challenging, so you want to make sure you study for them.
I LOVE HIM AND THIS CLASS! He is totally hilarious and makes his lectures very entertaining. He is a very nice professor and his test are not so bad if you write down his examples and read the book. Amazing amazing amazing!!!
Not to get deep but Steve literally changed my life. He's the reason I'm a psych major. Had him for Gen Psych and Social, he is by far the best teacher I've ever had and his lectures are incredible. No need for a textbook, but you HAVE to show up for class. He doesn't care about attendance but you will miss vital information if you miss one lecture
Best teacher I've ever had. Lectures are amazing and his notes are extremely easy to follow. Attendance is not mandatory but if you miss one class you will miss a lot of info. Don't bother with a textbook I took him 2 semesters and passed both with A's without a book. Listen in class and write down everything he writes and you will pass easy :)
AMAZING!!! If you miss a lecture it will hurt your grade because his lectures are extremely informational. Tests are not easy but if you pay attention and study what he talks about in class you will have no problem passing
There are no words to describe the incredible human being that is Steve Phillips. TAKE HIS CLASS I PROMISE YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!
wow! am I surprised that I passed his class. His test are very tricky if you don't read/ take good notes but overall, he is a great professor. his lectures were amazing and very engaging. The thought papers were probably what helped me get a C at the end so DO THEM! I highly recommend him if you want to actually LEARN something in college.
All the reviews talks for itself. He is AWESOME. In terms of quality and making the class fun. Take him!! (his tests are hard, so pay attention to the class! and take notes).
steve is amazing!!! one of the best classes ive ever taken. Take notes and pay attention and you will pass!
Best professor Ive ever had. Really engaging and passionate about psych. Tests are hard if you dont study enough.
AMAZING professor !!!!!! I learned so much and highly recommend him. I will be following him to FAU.
BEST TEACHER EVER!!! I ACTUALLY LEARNED. The test's are very hard but if you study and do all the thought papers you will pass. Thought papers really help you a lot in the end. I love steve. He is so funny!!!
best psychology class Ive EVER taken. You have to work for your grade but its rewarding every step. Prof. Steve Phillips is not only informative & adamant on talking about social issues & creating an interactive atmosphere with his students, he is hilarious & will never leave you bored. He constantly challenges the class & encourages dialogue.
Took him for general psychology and social psychology and the best professor ive had to until this day. The lectures are amazing and filled with a lot of information that will help you on tests. I looked forward to going to class and it made me more interested in psychology.
This isnt going to be an easy pass. You are going to have to read your book and take darn good notes in lecture. You can miss a couple of classes and still pass for sure. He makes is lectures engaging, loves when he gets questions, loves to argue and debate ( in a good way). You only have 4 test and easy "thought papers". super caring and kind!
He is amazing! I can truly tell you I learned and applied everything he said. I recommend him entirely. Going to class is not mandatory but it is highly recommended. You do need the book. It is not hard if you just pay attention in class. excellent professor. It is as every class should be.
The book is not needed in class but it has been helpful to compare with his leactures while studying. Gives lots of examples to terms more than worrying about definition. Tests on examples rather than book definitions. Hes fun but a bit controversial. Don't go if you're too sensitive about: Trump, child rearing, or devices. Go Gators!
One of the best teachers I've ever had! he makes the class really interesting, not boring at all. If you want to pass you should try to go to every class, tests are a little hard, so u really need to take good notes and pay attention!
the most ICONIC professor. if you can take good notes and interact with him and have a buddy to study with, you're golden. he's hilarious and i wish i could've taken more of his classes with my time at BC. he curves the tests depending on your class. Love him.
One of the best professors I'll ever have. Haven't even had class with all the professors I will eventually have class with and I know he's one of the best. If you take his class, you'll know it too. Professor Phillips is one of the most knowledgeable, humorous, and relatable professors anyone could ever have.
Best professor ever, hilarious, and I look forward to going to his class every other day. I love this guy. Great teacher
One of the best professors you will ever have! He makes the class so interesting and he has great humor. You need to go to class just to keep up with all his notes. He will make you work for you grade but once you got a good grade, you feel amazing and you know all the material. Very knowledgeable and will help you if you have any issues.
when i tell you about this guy..... ur gunna have a blast with him but you do need to study. he is open to give study tips and everything just know that hes there to help you in any way possible. hes amazing
Best professor I will ever have. I'm really going to miss this class
If you want a cool and interactive professor who makes the material interesting and fun to learn, i highly recommend him! Class isn't hard just make sure to study and review the chapters! He gives random thought papers that help give you extra points (to help with student attendance). Exams are tricky but not impossible, read the chapters!!!
Im seriously going to miss this class. You WILL love this professor he makes the lectures funny and applies them to real life experiences that make them easy to understand. Honestly one of the best class Ill probably ever take.
He is AWESOME! His class is hard and you must study. However, he is inspirational and his lectures are great. He makes the class funny and enjoyable. I STRONGLY recommend him to any of his classes.
This guy is one cool dude, he is educated and humbling. His class was a tough one, but I truly appreciate what I learned. This course requires a lot of reading and studying to get a GOOD grade, but not impossible and honestly what you learn you use in real life. Do the thought papers and follow his advice, mans a legend. GO GATORS!
This class is only graded by four exams and easy chances for about 8 in extra credit. Other than that, the class is hilarious and he really keeps you tuned in. Great guy overall and made social psych very interesting. Also very personable as well and makes you think about the world at hand. Heavy democrat too, but he bases it off facts so yeah
Psychology is an interesting subject in itself but this professor takes it to another level. His classes make you think intensely, they're funny and I think you'll leave more than satisfied. Copy notes he writes on the bored, read the book and study if you want an A or B. I honestly think he is the best.
Steve is an amazing professor! The lectures are engaging and really easy to grasp. The guy is hilarious and keeps you engaged the whole class. The grade is 4 tests plus 7 extra credit assignments given at random, so make sure you go to class. As long as you go to class and pay attention, you will get an A or a B.
Take notes for his class with all of his examples and know the outline he gives you. A very critical thinking class, with application questions so you must know your material. Kind to all his students but very democratic, not thats its bad just to note because his lectures are geared more toward the left. Beliefs will be challenged which is great.
I liked him, but the exams were difficult. Most of your grade is because of the exams, there were 4, and if you don't pass the exams, you wont pass the class. He was funny, and nice, but very opinionated. I wouldn't take him again only because i did struggle with the exams. If you are good a studying you will pass.
Dr. Phillips hes very funny you will laugh a lot in his class but his test are so difficult and the only reason why I pass this class was because this was my elective other than that I dont recommend anybody to take us class he is tough and ruthless and his test has nothing to do with the lectures all he gives is just an outline thats not enough
This is definitely not a class you will pass by just reading he book. Steves lectures are very Interesting. He does not go by definitions, but more by examples. 4 Tests. Hard tests. Make sure you show up to every single lecture and ask questions!!!! Thought Papers are easy A points.
I loved his class so much! His lessons stick with you because of how blunt he is and he's freaking hilarious. Sucks that I didn't get to finish out the full semester with him because of Covid :(.
The Professor can be funny but does have a huge opinion if you are prone to being offended do not take him. He is very nice and does care but most of your grades are exams and they are not easy exams you will need to study to pass them.
Decent prof, makes the class entertaining. 4 tests made up our entire grade, and they were bearable. Study a bit and you'll get the A. The prof attacks religion/christianity pretty frequently though, it kinda held me back from participating.
I had to drop this class because in the first place this professor used disgusting language, inappropriate for college (seemed like he was at a soccer field and felt like he was drunk, or had several drinks the night before ), if you are that type of person and you like to be entertained, then take him.. his language was discussing and aggressive.
Love him hes amazing, youll learn not just for the class but life lessons as well, hes funny and easy going! You wont be disappointed!!
Im taking this professor at the moment his lectures are engaging definitely dont take him if your sensitive or easily triggered has a very strong but nice personality and is very passionate about what he talks about only thing I can say is that his tests are so hard almost makes it impossible to pass but Im hoping I get at least a C
Steve is a great professor. If you want to learn and get the most out of Psych you should take his class. Very opinionated but if you can look past that(not too hard to do) you will be fine. Go to class, take notes, study(from the book too), do extra credit and you'll end with an A or B.
Such a good professor, definitely need to study but if you pay attention to his lectures and stay caught up with the reading you should be okay. You will actually learn from this class and he's hilarious and knows how to teach the material in a way that you actually understand. He also randomly gives out thought papers for extra credit.
Steve is literally AMAZING, best prof I've ever had/will have. His lectures are super engaging and feel more like a stand-up comedy show where you're also learning fun psych things. I would say the book isn't mandatory, although he does pepper it in the tests at times. Kinda gives me a House MD vibe but way nicer, you'll get it when you take him :)
Prof. Phillips gives great lectures that are very interesting. This class is graded only using 4 test but if you attend class and take good notes you will pass. I definitely recommend this professor you will enjoy your time in his class.
Steve is hilarious and his lectures are very interesting and entertaining. Showing up, taking notes, and studying are absolute musts, or else you wont pass. The content is easy to follow but you need to reinforce it to remember it. Seems like an awesome guy.
Amazing professor, probably one of my favorite classes. The way he teaches really keeps you engaged and the way he does notes i find it really easy to study. There arent many grades in the class and if you don't show up you wont do good but it is really easy and fun if you do go. AND IM ACTUALLY LEARNING
Amazing!! Very entertaining and although he claims his exams are terrifying they truly aren't. The textbook is not mandatory but if you're struggling, reading it definitely helps you reinforce his lectures. Make sure you pay attention to the examples he gives. Quizlets will not work for his test. OFFICE HOURS!! If you need help he will help well!!
TAKE HIM!! I genuinely enjoyed sitting through class because his lectures keep you so engaged. Don't let his tests intimidate you just make sure you pay attention to the lecture and write down EVERYTHING he says especially examples. 4 tests but gives thought papers which are super easy and help alot!! Best professor I've had at BC
THE MOST AMAZING, EDUCATED, KNOWLEDGEABLE TEACHER I HAVE EVER MET. Hilarious, funny, & anti-trump/racist/homophobic so I just love him! Call him Steve not Professor:) only 4 big tests make up your grade- very scary but every single sentence that comes out of his mouth is on the test so pay attention. Such an interesting class I LOVED IT!!!
The BEST professor I've ever had! His lectures are so engaging and actually teaching you real world lessons. Make sure you write his outlines and go to class because he doesn't post them on D2L. He grades you off of 4 tests and 7 thought papers no hw. As long as you pay attention in class you will pass. Honestly a life changing class!
Steve is likely the best prof you'll ever have. The tests can be difficult, but what you gain from the class is SO worth it. Extremely entertaining and knowledgeable; can't recommend him enough!
I do admit I loved the teacher himself but his entire class is made up of 4 tests and small papers for extra points, unless you're amazing at studying and are good at tests you won't do good, and 90% of these reviews are made by him so if you're reading the 5/5 ones with copy paste words they're all fake.
The lectures are awesome, keeps you interested and want to attend class. Test are VERY difficult but he does curve. He is a jokester so if you are a snowflake don't take him. He is a amazing professor overall and cares about his students. He wants his students to learn and love what he is teaching
The lectures are great and so worth attending class. Def recommend
He's the best professor I've ever had. He literally got me into psychology and made me change my major because of how amazing he made psychology seem. Every class is so fun and you learn so many important things that apply to real life. Only take this class if you truly want to know and understand psych. Wish I could have him for my whole degree
Here's the truth about the tests: No you don't have to be amazing at studying. You just need to actually enjoy psychology and be able to apply it. His tests are not definition-based, he wants you to know the material as it is very useful for real life. His tests are tough, but they're a fun challenge. He is so real
10/10!! Dr. Phillips is the best. His office hours are very accessible; he cares about his students and passing the class. His lectures are captivating and the outlines are extremely helpful. He offers extra credit papers. I was even able to get his help in collecting research from studies, books, etc. for a paper in another class of mine.
Only reason for an average grade on my part is not doing the reading nor taking the appropriate notes. No systematic, mandated nonsense here, just solid presentation and conversation from start to finish. This man will give you one of the greatest teaching experiences of your entire life. Do not miss it. Couldn't make this up if I tried.
Steve scared me on the first day of class when he said his class was hard. But don't be discouraged he is by far one of the best teachers I've had in a long time. Just make sure to read and attended every class and take notes. He make lectures entertaining and gives extra credit to help. Thought papers! He is test heavy so make sure to study a lot
He's the best. He is very helpful and gives amazing lectures. I got a C because I'm not the best test taker but regardless, he is such a great professor. He gave us 4 tests and some thought papers throughout the semester so definitely read the book and take good notes.
Prof Philips is a GEM! His lectures are life altering and I can't recommend him enough. Take the notes as he recommends and show up for class to get the surprise extra credit papers as it'll help with your test grades. The class is grades only by 4 test. I missed a few classes hence my grade but if you show up you can pass!
Great professor! Very lecture heavy and needs the textbook to do well. Class grade is determined by 4 tests and simple 8 thought papers. He doesn't take attendance, but I 100% recommend not skipping if it's avoidable. Everything he says in his lectures come up on the exam so be ready to take notes. He is hilarious and his lectures are interesting.
steve was probably my favorite professor i've ever had as a college student. his lectures were captivating, entertaining but most of all you actually walked out of class with new information on psychology, not to mention it's things you learn for the test but you can also apply it in the real world. thought papers were given randomly. 10/10 prof :D
Professor Stephen was great. He was super understanding and shows a lot of care towards his students. His class is a little difficult as it is test heavy but as long as you study, show up for the lectures, and read the textbook you will be fine. He also makes his lectures very interesting and relatable.
Ok this guy enjoys his job! He is genuinely the best professor I have had at broward college. Lectures are not boring at all! If you are looking for a sign to take his course this is it! You will leave the class each day learning something new and useful to your everyday life. I wish more teachers were like Steve!!!!
Professor Phillips' lectures are captivating, and while his exams are challenging, the thought papers and unstuckstudy ai make for great study prep. Attend class, take notes, and you'll do well in this engaging course.
It's been almost 10 years, and I still think about Prof. Phillips' lectures from time to time! He has been “ahead of his time” due to his ability to take intricate concepts and explain their practicality. Phillips challenges you to develop your critical thinking skills permanently, without you realizing it. SUPERB! BRAVA!
Great prof, would def recommend
Great teacher definitely will recommend taking his class. You will get out with so much knowledge.
Steve is a pretty good professor, but I will say that if you're not a person who usually studies for exams or at least has a really good study method you're probably gonna struggle since there's only 4 tests. The book isn't all too necessary in my opinion but it does help to an extent. There are extra credit options but you have to be in class.
Professor Phillips is very good at lecturing and makes even boring topics extremely interesting. He is good at his job and you can tell he cares, but he is extremely opinionated. Half the time he talks about his stance on politics and religion and can sometimes be disrespectful or offensive. I think these opinions should be separate from lectures.
LOVED HIS CLASS!!!! People say he is "opinionated", but it is because he uses real life examples. Notes are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, don't to miss a day, as it is important, interesting & relevant. Reading the textbook helps with studying, make sure to READ!!!! Few assignments but exams are IMPORTANT! Steve is wonderful, please take his class!!!!!
Hands down, the best class I've ever taken! I didn't want it to end. The lectures were engaging and genuinely entertaining. This class confirmed that psychology is one of my true passion. Highly recommend taking it!
His lectures gave me a lot of knowledge and perspectives I'd never thought I'd experience. Best lectures ever , very intense and good with words. But the tests are hard and he made me cry once, he can be kind of stern and rude if you meet him after class and mess up on your notes.
He's great at doing his job as a professor (you will learn in this class), his lectures are entertaining, he is also hilarious but I don't enjoy how blunt he is. He talks a lot about his political views and views on specific religions. I think he should be more respectful to other views even if he disagrees. and avoid sharing it as a professor.
Great professor, I learned so much in his class and he made it interesting. I recommend taking his class but be prepared to read ALOT, and try to attend every lecture. I was able to pass with a C, (attended most classes and read the book somewhat) he bumps up tests and gives you "thought papers" for extra credit.
Honestly, one of the hardest teachers I've ever taken if you're not good at psychology, I would not recommend this class. I would rather do it online. Very test heavy make sure to study attend. The classes thought papers might help. If you're not good at psychology honestly don't take this class face-to-face.
By far the most amazing professor here at BC. Before taking this class I was quite scared because I've never taken any psychology classes before this. He makes understanding concepts so much easier and makes the class fun with all his little dad jokes. Be sure to attend all his classes as everything that is said will be on the tests.
This class was amazing. Steve is very funny and I like how he relates what we are learning about to events happening in real time. The class is decently hard, so make sure to do the Thought Papers and read the textbook! Take notes take notes take notes!! . Go Gators!! 🐊
Passionate in craft as he makes sure you understand terms during lectures and also provides 8-10 point boosts on tests since he's aware of difficulty. However there's no assignments except 8 thought paper homework's and then 4 tests. If you're bad test taker and study student don't take him. Average on tests was 67% but thought papers boost to a C.
Steve is super educated & hilarious; the jokes help you remember material. Very engaging. PLS take the BEST notes & write his examples, they help tons on tests! Read the textbook to get a better grade on tests, but passable without it. No HW, only VERY SHORT thought papers that boost test scores. Office hours can be academic or for personal issues.
INCREDIBLE! One of the best I've ever had. Attendance isn't mandatory BUT he will randomly assign little papers to do in class that can't be made up to keep you on your toes, and they can make or break your grade. I don't know why you'd want to miss though. Tests are tough, but just study and you'll be fine. I never even read the book once.
He's a great professor. Record his lectures and take notes like he teaches—trust me. He's funny, gives great examples, and thought papers help your grade. His tests are tough but curved. Visit him for study tips; he helped me raise my grade from a D to an A and I never read the textbook. Cool professor and you'll learn a lot.
He is super funny, and made the lectures fun.
