Take him for summer school. He's an easy professor and easy grading.
nice guy who speaks word for word with as notes, scary.
soooooo easy! Just read the textbook and do the practice quizzes. most test questions are from book, a few are from lectures
Forum Lecture class, he uses power point, and on occasion shows movies. Boring class, no roll taken, a lot of independant study required. Grade based on testing (1 dropped). Easy to pass with a C, lots of extra credit. Not as easy to get an A.
very nice and easy but dont learn anything. Very boring and needs to be more assertive!!!! Knows lots of information but cant stay on track to get point accross
took his online course. recommend taking his course. very simple and easy. easy as in assignment to turn in but not a tough grader, very reasonable professor.
tests are made by the people who wrote the book! Nice man. 3 total tests that count for grade.

ehhhh...teacher is very monotone and always loses train of thought!recommended if ur into boring teachers
His class was so easy. Just read the chapter, and do the practice quizes. He's cool and nice and easy, perfect.
Very boring and don't learn much. super expensive text as well.
lectures were REALLY boring. hes monotone it makes you want to fall asleep, he says to many words.
Puts you to sleep
Knows what he's talking about, but can't communicate it to students very well. You can tell he got his degrees in Psychology, and not in Teaching. Avoid if possible.
I took it online.I learned a ton from this class because you can't just take the tests and find the answers in the book during the test. The questions are randomly selected and the time limit is such that you must know the material ahead of time. I learned a lot and Isonio was a good online teacher.
boring lectures but he shows great movies in class
Good Instr
Good teacher, took the online class. read your stuff, do hw and you will be fine. He also offers good extra credit. i would recommend to others
I really like this guy. His class was easy and he's nice and very cool. His class is pretty easy and it was interesting. If you wanna take psych take his class.
His class is difficult and he rambles a lot. VERY TOUGH TO GET THROUGH!!! BORING BORING BORING!!! I really wanted to take this class but fell asleep in every class....however he does have an extra credit assignment that helps your grade... has in class assignments so regular attendance is manditory in order to get those points. I wouldn't take him.
learned a lot, had to work hard. this class is definitely not for the student looking for an easy time.
really knows his stuff, good teacher, take him
Really knows what he's talking about. Good videos. Class seems long but you get breaks. Lots of notes, overally pretty good.
omg! so hard! i was so bored i had to give myself a break. it takes an hour for him to answer a question and most of the time he doesnt. his tests are extremely hard. studying the book takes weeks and doesnt really apply. i can probably count the number of ppl who passed on one hand. please dont take him! so hard and so boring!!!
Very nice and very helpful professor.
Really nice guy, but the tests were really hard, if you take his class read the book or you will fail
I'll admit I dozed off a few times in his class cuz his voice is really soothing haha. But the lectures are actually really interesting and reading the book was pretty interesting too. He is a good teacher and a really nice guy. Take him.
The class was decently challenging, and you definitely need to study for the tests. Attendance on "Focus Topic" days are a must since there are questions about those on the test. Overall though, attendance is over rated. I didn't go to most of the classes and still managed to pass with a C. Study the study guide and read the book and you'll be fine
Steven Isonio is a very nice teacher; however, his lectures are very boring! His exams are a challenge! If you just read some of the pages in the book, you will fail the exam. You must read EVERYTHING in the book! He does sometime tells you what will be on the exam. Other than that, it's a HARD class, and many students received a C or F! I got a B!
extremely hard class. each test took around 2-3 hrs to finish. tried really hard in his class but still failed. take at your own risk.
He's nice but likes to lecture and go off on tangents (it's easy to fall asleep). It's not 100% important to pay attention during lectures because it's all in the book, but it would help you understand the physiology. Read EVERYTHING in the assigned chapters, go over/know his review questions and you will do fine on the tests. I got an A.
Good instructor, his videos got me through the summer. And the extra credit assignment helped me out alot
sooooo boring.... soooo monotone.... couldn't keep my attention even if my life depended on it!
class is all outlined online (you can print out the notes for the class), but little class participation and pretty hard test/quizzes.
boaring i had to leave classes talks about nothing
I took an Intro to Psychology class in Summer of 2005. This was my first college class and I really enjoyed it. His lectures seem long but he has a lot of cool videos and he's a great teacher. Some tests were easy and some were hard, but if you study it'll be a breeze. There's a big report you can do for extra credit too! Great class.
EXTREMELY BORING!
Very knowledgable. lot of work, but I leanred a whole lot. overall, a great class.
Say hello to Kernal Sanders! He is sooo freakin' boring. Most of the time I just didn't want to go. Even when I went to class and tried to listen and learn, I ended up learning jack***t. You have to go to class bc there are worksheets he gives during class and collects at the end of class. No Hw but dumb hard tests. I think like 3 or 4 of them.
Online class was easy. Quizzes for every chapter you read, but they aren't difficult and you can take them twice and record your highest grade of the two. Short, easy written assignments for each chapter.
One of the best!!
I learned a lot.
Took an online class. Quizzes are based directly on book reading. For each quiz he will give you 2 attempts and score the highest. Learn a lot and got an A as a ESL student. Great teacher!!! Highly recommend..
he is an okay teacher.. i took him during the fall of '07 and he is seems pretty okay just do all the extra credit he gives you in class because that would help your grade if you screw on the tests/quizzes he gives you :) i thought i got a really low grade.. but i ended up with a B because of the extra credit (: good luck and take him :D
Learned a lot. Worth taking this prof. good class
I took Psych20 online; it is a very hard class. You will need to understand what you read in the text. Homework is fairly easy but the quiz is not. The final is also pretty tough with 2 short answers; I recommend this class because you do learn alot but you must be prepared to work for your grade. Other than that, I enjoyed the class.
BORING BORING BORING. Overall class was fairly easy, but the guy is a total DRAG. Knows his stuff, but does NOT know how to teach it with an interesting manner. Gets mad when people don't come to class, or walk in late/leave early. I wonder if he realizes why. Bases everything ONLINE. Don't understand why he doesn't just make it an ONLINE class.
Excellent. Patient teacher. I learned a lot. Will take other classes from him.
This prof was very helpful. My dad was in the hospital and i had to miss a lot but he was willing to be flexxible and understanding. I only wish i did not have to miss as many days because he is a good teacher and i really learned a lot.
I took the research methods class. I learned more in this class than in any other psych class. I am a psych major and know this class will help me in my major. We did a research proposal from scratch. The teacher worked with us individually to help us do our own proposals. This is a a great class.
Took online class. Dr. Isonio is an awesome instructor. He is very patient and understanding. HOWEVER, the class is not easy. You have to read the text. HW is easy, but time consuming. Don't wait until the last minute. Quizes and Final are not easy unless this is your world. Do the extra credit work.
DOES HE GIVE EXTRA CREDIT??!
Took this class online. Not an easy class if you have little to no interest in this class. Homework not that easy, and tests are 35 questions in 32 minutes, and if you did not read the book, you will fail the test automatically. I do not recommend taking this online class unless you are up to the challenge.
Steven Isonio PHD. This Professor is great guy! very helpfull!! encourages any questions before and after class, also has email and office to ask additional questions. Note! USE YOUR TEXTBOOK to prepare for your Exams and Quizes! the Quizes and Exams are strait out of the Book!! Lecture has some points and great general knowledge. Easygoing guy!
I took this class online and for a summer class, it was more work than I expected. The quizzes weren't too hard considering the material was pretty dense. The homework was time consuming, but I learned something new every time and actually enjoyed it. I recommend not waiting until the last minute to start reading and doing any extra credit (easy).
good class and good teacher
I took the 8 week online class so I wasn't too surprised by the amount of reading that would be involved. You read almost 70% of the book. I was very interested in the book. He does not give a midterm but does a final. He also has a work packet and quizzes due every two weeks that are based on 3-4 chapters. It is a lot of work but very easy.
avoid if possible!!! you have to go to EVERY lecture! be prepared to do a lot of work.... would not recommend
I had to work hard but got a good grade and learned a lot. Highly recommend this class.
i didnt "need" t take this class- but i stuck it out just because nothing else was open. I would not suggest staying in this class unless you dont mind doing an excessive amount of homework. you can not miss class or lab, it is a very hard class... i would avoid if possible...
Incredibly hard to conentrate, very monotoned. ONLY RAMBLES. The topic of the class would be interesting if it wasn't taught by him. Seems like a really nice guy but notes are almost COMPLETELY irrelevant to the tests. Must read the whole book!! If the dry eyes commercial needed a new speaker, he could do it.
Enjoyed this class. I learned a lot about psych. Easy exams, multiple choice and writing. He gives us most of thw writing questions beforehand.
Professor Isonio isn't necessarily bad, there are just many things he could do to improve. He doesn't command the attention of the room, is very monotone and boring. He ended up giving a lot of extra credit. There is a lot of work in the class, but I don't know why others are complaining about that. You're in college. Get used to it.
Dr. Isonio's class was an Easy A for me because I took time to study the book. What really helped was using the books companion web site because it has electronic flash cards and practice quizes. Know the terms and it should be an easy A and there are tons of extra credit & one test (lowest score) is dropped. Also, go to every class to get some EC.
Professor Isonio is very cool. He works very hard to give all students a fair chance to get an A. His lectures are very detailed and long, but pay attention because he is basically telling you what's going to be on the test. He makes getting an A easy, but some students couldn't see that.
It's a great class, but Dr. Isonio is really boring. He drones on and on with the same stories every class. His exams are fairly easy so the class isn't very hard to pass. Just read the book and try as hard as you can not to take a nap during his class.
His lectures are not really that interesting, and is a very boring teacher. However, his class was fairly easy. Just read the textbook and you're set!
Isonio is an amazing professor! Exams are easy if you show up to class, take notes, and thoroughly read the book. It's an easy A! He's the complete opposite of what the lukewarm poor reviews say about him.
This class is really easy. His lectures are boring though. As long as you study the study guides, tests are not hard. The lowest test score is dropped. Dr. Isonio seems like a nice guy.
Extremely easy online class. Really cool reasonable guy. Take the half term if you can. Easy A. Just google everything
I took the 6 week summer class. It was not as much fun or as interesting as his psyc 100 class (also online) It all depends on how much you study the book. In a short class like this, its about the time and dedication you put it. I usually get As in psyc, got a B =[ take the longer class, at least 8 weeks!
This class was pretty hard there are way easier psyc 100 classes. I got an A but definitely worked hard for it. There are 4 exams and the lowest dropped. He gives a lot of extra credit. Notes are really important! book is used to study a lot so i recommend getting it. He is super nice and helpful. So if you are willing to work i recommend.
A jolly santa looking guy. Notes are ESSENTIAL and can be found on his website. If you do this then you dont need to buy the book at all. Tests are on the notes, but the test review sheets dont cover everything thatll be on the test. Some ec, no hwk, boring lectures. Tests are passable, he gives lots of ec on them if he sees the you really tried.
I was very interested in psychology before I took this class but he ruined it. I literally had to hold my eyes open to even focus on what he was saying because it was so BORING! The notes are basic but when you go to take the test it has nothing to do with what he talked about. Definitely try and find a different teacher!!!
Really nice guy and pretty easy class if you study. He posts the study guide 5 days prior to the exam, go over it thoroughly and you'll pass. Notes are important to take and the book helps alot. I missed class quite alot but did the E/C and passed with a B!
EXTREMELY BORING! Had a very hard time staying awake, he is boring and talks the entire time..Didn't learn anything. Beware if you aren't interested in psycology, he will make it worse!
Not a difficult class. I took it as an 8 week online class along with 4 others and found it very manageable. The book is important because you can use it for all of the tests and quizzes.
I took Dr. Isonio's 6 week online class this summer, great teacher. It was tough only because there is a lot of reading, don't fall behind! By the end of 6 weeks you read the whole book. Easy life story paper, weekly quizzes n final all open book - the weekly assignment give you so many extra points toward your grade which really boosts it up :)
took his summer 6-wk online class. very good w/responding back. 1 quiz for each ch., assig= 4 ques. each ch., 1 discussion topic each wk. offers 2 extra credits. Class is very possible! I am taking 3 summer classes and made it possible. he updates grades quickly. highly suggest if you dont like psych
Much work, but I learned a lot that will be helpful to me as a psych major. Projects were fun and helpful. Great teacher and great class.
i am currently taking his online class for summer. I was a bit scared at first because this subject sounds scary already. lol but its actually pretty cool. He gave us extra creit and sometimes allows us multiple tries on quiz. He grades easy with the assignments. There's a lot of reading, but very doable. I would highly recommend his class!
Took Dr. Isonio in the winter semester 01052015-01302015. 4 week class. Every week there's 3 quiz 25 pt ech. 1 homework assignment ech week 25 pt each. A final test 80 multiple choice + 1 written question. 4 discussion @ 8 points each. 2 extra credit. Confusing quiz so read all chapters. I managed to get an A in the class but worked hard.
Professor Isonio 8-week class was horrible! The textbook is needed, there are 3 quizzes due every other week so you have to read a lot. It's so much in the book so you don't know what to write so it's hard to pass the quizzes and you only get 1 try.
I just took his class was boarder line for an A. I submitted my extra credit on time and since he couldn't "open" it, he didn't count it and he didn't even email me to let me know. I ended up with a B when I did all the work for an A. He's usually helpful but he's very strict. Easy grader though. Turn in all your work on time and get full credit.
I took this class in the 8-week format. Two wks covers 3 chapters and includes 3 quizzes & 1 very long HW assignment. HW includes doing online practicals like personality quizzes on ancient websites and discussing your results. Some of the HW seemed simple but TOOK FOREVER to do. Exams are timed and very hardlots of questions. No midterm.
His lectures can be really confusing and there is a lot of information to sort through, but he is an amazing teacher and will always be there to answer questions for you. I would definitely take his class again! He's the one that got me interested in the research part of psychology. Thank you Mr. Isonio!
Professor Isonio does a great job with this Online classes. Learned a great deal in this intro class and would highly recommend any of his online classes. I am finishing up a second Psych class with him online G260. Read or "listen" to your chapters, do the assignment set homework as they will help you do well on your quizzes and your final.
I thought this class was easy, but I was so wrong. EXTREMELY long readings for each quiz (2 chapters for each quiz) PLUS the homework. He assigns extra readings to answer questions in the homework. It is very time-consuming. 4 online discussions. 7 quizzes. 7 HW assignments. Does not answer emails. He takes forever to do so. okay, but not easy
Avoid his online classes if you can help it. He simply does not care one bit about his online classes. His most in depth review on homework you spend hours on is "Good". He would give full credit for work you didn't even finish. You can write something completely off base and still receive full credit. Homework is tedious and monotonous.
Good class. Maybe will major psych
taking online psych 100 this summer. very good class. lot of work in six weeks, but i am enjoy it. discussion post each week, quiz each week, assigments. definitely take this class
Took Intro Psych this summer. Very busy in the six weeks class. Have regular discussions which were actually fun, easy to get full points. Assignments and quizzes were the main work. Did optional extra credit project. Was able to get a A in the class!
I really loved being in this class. He gives great feedback and it is so interesting learning what he is teaching. If your not interested in learning or reading a little don't take this class. There is quite a bit of reading but it is all very intriguing nothing boring if you are interested in psych. would take again
Great professor super knowledgeable!!! he makes the class interesting with small acitivties! Its an easy class if you pay attention and do the work
PROS: He's a very nice guy, grades easily on assignments, gives a lot of extra credit opportunities, textbook is required but you can pass without it, and you basically only have to show up on exam days because you can read the lecture slides online. CONS: Hes boring, exams are hard, he's extremely boring, and he's also pretty boring.
Isonio was great for online Psych100! Clear grading, and if you put in enough effort to justify him reading your work, you're likely to get constructive feedback frequently. Do the work and do it on time. If you have many other commitments, take a 16 week rather than 8 week format, b/c the 8 week moves quickly. Gives extra credit. Highly recommend!
Having Professor Isonio was refreshing break from some of the other psych professors at GWC. He knows what he is talking about, although his slides are disorganized. He is open minded, flexible, and while he assigns crazy hard tests and big projects, he also accounts for how hard you worked and how much you learned. He loves giving out free points!
I really enjoyed his class, his assignments were reasonable and I was able to study for all of is tests while working full time this summer semester. He's a great grader if you do your weekly homework, and you'll receive full credit for trying your best.
Class is mainly dependent on the exams and he posts amazing study guides for each one. I honestly only read a few chapters from the class textbook, and just studied his study guides super hard and ended up with over 100% in the class. He also offers a ton of extra credit too. Couldnt recommend the class more.
There are assignments, discussions, & quizzes every week. Assignments are manageable, however, took forever to complete. Some links needed for each question did not function. Quizzes are usually 2 chapters with 40 questions & timed. No midterm, just final & extra credit. This class was pretty interesting, but I just wish he was more understanding.
This was a good class. I actually liked going to class and I can say I leaarned a lot.
I really enjoyed prof. Isonios class. Definitely a man who is passionate about what he teaches and you can really feel that through his lectures. He takes with a very soft voice so it is sometimes hard to hear him or makes you sleepy. Would recommend him 100%.
You can tell that Professor Isonio is passionate about psych and he makes it known from the first day that his office is always open if you need it. He provides study guides for every test, and if you have a basic understanding of what's on it you'll do just fine. He also drops your lowest test score and the final isn't cumulative! Take him!
I took his 4 week Psych 100 class over winter break. There were assignments and a discussion due every 4-5 days that took about 2 hours to complete. As long as you do the work and show that you at least tried a little he'll give you full credit. His feedback is short but I personally didn't care. I just wanted an A
Online class was very good organization. Easy to navigate. I like the assignment sets, very intersting.
Wouldn't recommend taking the 6 week course unless you have lots of time. There is lots of reading and homework that is very time consuming (10-15+ hrs/wk), but its effective for learning in a short period of time. Professor is great and gives good feedback & extra credit. 16 week course would be more relaxed considering the amount of info there is
Very good class that was organized very well. We do assignments that are interesting and you learn a lot. The teacher seemed to be encouraging.
Took in winter 4 weeks. Very fast. I enjoyed the class. Very clear and organized.
I took AP psych in college and failed the exam so I took this class during winter session. Super easy A, just be familiar w the terms, make sure you read if you aren't fmiliar with psychology. I recommend taking this class in 8 weeks bc itsnot that difficult.
I loveeee Isonio so much, Im almost done with his PSYCH100 class (online), and I really did do the bare minimum and have a 97 percent. Hes also really sweet and understanding, he will ALWAYS message you back in time.
He was an amazing professor. He knows what he is teaching and makes it fun. He teaches in a way that is easy to understand. He likes to make funny "dad jokes" and is easy going. Because of COVID we were on hybrid schedule with zoom and online work. I also took the fast track which was difficult but the class itself was awesome. Definitely recommend
