Really dry and boring but he does have a sense of humor and he is funny. He needs to apply it more to his teaching. Very basic teacher, 4 multiple choice exams, drop the lowest. They are 100 questions. Very very clear on what is expected to pass these tests it's in his lectures and the book, it may be boring but better than a confusing teacher.

He is a very boring teacher with his death by powerpoint but he brings humor in quite a bit with his knowledgeable teaching style. I would say I enjoyed the material more than him as a professor. I never went to class and read the textbook and got an A! I would recommend Dr. Russell to anyone who doesn't mind teaching themselves and reading alot.

Easy A. You don't need the book. Attendance is not mandatory, but I suggest going to his class only for the lectures. Class is once a week anyway. The power points are what will be on the test and he drops the lowest grade. Class can be dry and boring but he is very knowledgeable and can be humorous sometimes.

This was an online class. Extremely Easy A. You don't necc. need book b/c he uses power point w/ all material. I would take him again. I was able to complete all the materials before the time frame for the class to end. Study quizzes and past exams for FINAL.

I took Prof Russell's online classes for both Social Psych & Abnormal Psych. The online class is set up in a simple manner that helps avoid common tech confusion. I enjoyed his classes & would recommend him. He posts powerpoints & a 10 Q quiz at the end of each CH. It's very helpful in truly understanding & remembering the material for the exams.

Took him online for Abnormal Psych and Social Psych. SUPER EASY! EASY A! Never once looked at any book. He posts the lecture slides. Everything else can be Googled. Take him online if you can!

I've taken several of prof Russell's online courses. I took his Child Psych class on campus though during the evening 1x/week. Tells some funny stories. Does well to hold student's attention for a really long period of time. Is willing to help if you ask. Overall is one of the better profs I've had here & is kind / considerate.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Yes, taking a class over summer (in 5 weeks) is a ton of work but the due dates are clear and you can go as far ahead as you want. So get the online textbook and start ASAP! The TA does most of the work for the professor but she is willing to work with you if you're having any trouble with My Psych Lab or the material.

I've taken several online classes offered by Dr. Russell and I've made all As in his classes. His classes are easy to follow and provides clear deadlines for assignments, but the majority of the classes he offers, takes time to complete. Expect 75+ questions weekly from quizzes, without worry of time, about 4+ hours per week, Highly recommend!

To pass this online class you must read the text. You have a week to complete assignments. There are basically 3 tests a week, although two are just to help you prepare for the ACTUAL test. You have anywhere from 5-12 quizzes a week. You can go at your own pace, just finish it all by Friday. No final exam!

I took Dr. Russell online over the summer because of a review on here. I then took more classes with him online because of his way of presenting the course. VERY clear cut. You get what you earn. Strictly enforced deadlines. NO extensions. Work ahead, all assignments are available at the beginning. Easy A as long as you read and do the work.

I've taken 2 of Dr. Russell's online courses so far. A's in both and taking a third one this semester (also an A so far). PSYC 2120, 2150, & 3130. There are so many tools for you to use to help you pass, you shouldn't fail. I would take him again.

Took this class online. It was clear cut and fairly easy. If you do the work, you'll get a good grade. Would absolutely take again

If you do the work for this class, you will definitely get an A. There is a decent amount of work, but if you don't wait until the last minute, it's not that bad. Clear grading criteria for sure. I'm taking 2 more of his online classes before I graduate as GPA boosters. Definitely would recommend!

I took Professor Russell's class in the summer and it was very fast paced. This class was online and there were 3-4 video quizzes, 2 pre/posttest, 2 Exams for each chapter which is about 4 chapters a week. No Final! It is a lot of work, but you get multiple chances to get an A on the assignments. I will take another class with Professor Russell.

Excellent! I would definitely recommend

I took this course online and it was one of the easiest courses I have ever taken. He releases the entire semester of work at the beginning so you can work ahead if you want to which is super nice. There also is NO FINAL. The due dates and the grading criteria are clear. He was also very nice and helpful the 1 time I had to email him.

As long as you do the modules for each week and keep up with your course work, you will make an A. The book is required through Pearson, and as long as you read, the test will be a breeze.

I've taken 4 online classes with Dr. Steven! He is amazing. The due-dates for everything is straight forward. As long as you do the pre test, post test, exam, and media assignments you will make an A!

Amazing teacher would take again.

I took his online psych class on child development and its very easy. you raise a virtual child and just complete quizzes online about the things you read in the chapter. just take note while you read and you'll do well

Super easy class. All of the work is on pearson revel- you have to read a chapter and take a couple quizzes every week, and raise a virtual child. There is no final exam, and the assignments took me an hour tops every week.

He gives a clear grading criteria from the beginning of the semester. This class is not hard at all but slightly time consuming. All of the assignments are available from the beginning of the semester so technically you could finish the class early. If you read the chapters and finish the assignments on time, you'll get an A.

I took his Child Psychology class and it's pretty self explanatory. The only thing is that this professor will not offer extra credit and he does not round up scores (if you get an 89.99, it's still considered a "B"). I read a chapter a week and took notes on it and took the quizzes. If you take notes, like I did, it will take you several hours.

I loved his class because it was online and he allowed you to work ahead! I finished the class within the first month which gave me more time to focus on my other classes.

I took Professor Russell's class online and it was great. He lets you work as far ahead as you like which is awesome. The work load was not a crazy amount in his class and the questions in all the assignments were very straight forward. Just keep up with assignments and you will make an A.

By far my favorite online class so far. He stuck to a schedule and opened everything from the first day of class. Easy A.

He barely talks to you all semester, since it's an online class. You basically learn from and read the textbook. Class consists of about 3-4 short weekly quizzes, a weekly chapter quiz, and a 50 weekly question chapter test. It seems like more work than it actually is. You can do well if you keep a schedule for yourself.

Easiest online classes Ive taken. I took child psychology and Im currently taking psychology of adjustment. I finished child psychology with an A and most likely will in this class. He gives open note quizzes and then a chapter test that is closed note but 40/50 questions are from the quizzes. Would definitely recommend!!!

This is my second class I have taken with Russell and although he does not communicate much with students, everything is self explanatory. He makes all assignments available at the beginning of the semester. The assignments might feel repetitive but if you actually read to learn and look over your highlighted parts it is not hard.

Extremely easy course. You work at your own pace and the first assignments arent due for the first 3 weeks. I finished this course within 7 days.

Don't let Dr. Russell's mediocre Rate My Professor reviews scare you. I have taken him for 3 psych classes and he is great! Most of his classes (including this one) are based on weekly Pearson Revel quizzes and readings and weekly Respondus Monitor tests. BUT, as long as you do the readings, you will do fine!

Love this teacher because he lays everything out ahead of time so you can finish the class in advance. I see a lot of the reviews say that they finished it quickly but I did not do this because the textbook readings are fairly heavy and you NEED to read or you won't pass his tests. But if you read, you will do fine.

Easy class, make sure to do your readings on Revel every week and the quiz on canvas will be a breeze. Drops the lowest 2 quiz grades and quizzes are pretty long, about 50 questions. As long as you do your homework and get 70s on your quizzes you will get an A. Uses lockdown browser, unfortunately. This applies to child and social psychology.

All assignments are on REVEL and can work through them at any time. A chapter on REVEL is due each week followed by a chapter quiz on canvas. Super easy and would have gotten an A if I didn't mess up on a couple of them. Also there is NO FINAL EXAM!

Extremely easy class. There are chapter and internet quizzes due each week and sometimes he'll assign two for the week but they are really easy to get through. His test are also very easy and could make or break your grade if you do terrible on them. This is the second time I've taken a class with him and would take another one of his classes.

The next time I take a class with Dr. Russell, I would recommend him. It's so easy for me to understand his psychology classes and I can learn from them. The classes include weekly canvas tests and reading comprehension exercises. He's a good teacher that has clear grading criteria.

He doesn't teach himself. You read the textbook chapter, do the assignments within it, do packback questions and a quiz each week. No tests but the quizzes are all 50questions and on lockdown browser. Not hard if you're pretty independent and he'll drop your lowest 2quizzes

Idk why people complain about Dr. Russell. Class was easy. Class setup clearly defined from the jump: read chapter, MindTap, Packback, chapter quiz - all due by Fri every week. No lecture for completely online class. Have good time mgmt and if you can teach yourself by reading, you'll get your A. Definitely taking more classes w/Dr. Russell!

I recommend taking his class. I had him online, and he is very professional. he responds back quickly to assignments and emails. He also communicates weekly and clears up confusion you may have about the assignments. Everything is through PEARSON and it is easily accessible. None of the assignments are hard or time consuming. Great professor!

This was a summer class so I didn't expect much. The class was very easy despite the lack of instruction. While there were no lectures everything could be learned from the Cengage program. I feel like I shouldn't have had to pay for this class and should have just paid for the Cengage program but that is just how the college gets you.

I took this class as an elective over the summer and am considering adding psychology as a minor. This class isn't difficult as long as you're willing to put in some work. You're graded on homework, discussion boards, and quizzes on each chapter and he drops the 2 lowest quiz scores. As long as you work ahead by 2 or 3 days you'll do fine.

5 assignments/week: Read the chapter, Mastery Training, Packback, Chapter Quiz, Lockdown Canvas Quiz. All except for the lockdown are guaranteed 100s. NO late work is accepted ever. Lockdown quizzes are 50 questions. If you get a 70 on them, you'll make an A with all of the free 100s. No final. All coursework is available so you can finish early.

There's a lot of test and quizzes per unit. It's a lot and you have to make sure you stay on top of things. Everything is from the textbook theres no other learning materials.

I've taken 2 classes with him because of the predictable schedule/routine. The weekly 50-question lockdown webcam exam is a little dramatic but whatever. The worst part about this class is the textbook, which reads like a 6th grader trying to meet a word count. Be prepared to read 3 pages on a concept that can be explained in two sentences.-

You basically do the online textbook assignments, a 50 question quiz with lockdown browser, post a packback question, and respond to two people every single week. The content is fairly easy and common sense so it is not too hard. The professor never speaks to you and all the assignments are open at the start of the semester so you can work ahead!

pretty expensive class which can be a drawback. otherwise very simple and predictable. clear assignment of schedule. the quizzes are quite long but i personally didn't mind all that much. it's just one of those classes where you have to make sure to keep up. i enjoyed taking this class.

Manage your time well in this class. Assignment heavy and you will be taking a 50 question quiz every week. Towards the end of the semester the assignments double. This class is still extremely easy to follow. You will mainly be communicating with the TAs, but they are extremely helpful.

This class is really not too bad. Do expect to take a 50 Q quiz due every friday but you can work at your own pace and its not as bad as it sounds. As long as you read before you will be fine. My class is fully online so its not too demanding. I have learned a lot and you have a lot of grades so it provides some cushion if you do bad on one test.

IDK why his rating is so bad. This is my third class with Dr. Russell. Everything is at your own pace. Read the textbook, do the mindtap + pack back and your grade is fine. The only complaint would be the 50 q quizzes, but your two lowest get dropped.
