Linden is not consistent in anything he says or does. Cannot ever seem to get through the lectures, and assigns the rest for homework. APA papers, of which he is overly critical.

Although he didn't use powerpoint for notes, his lectures are very easy to understand. He gives great examples that help retain the information. Those examples also showed up on tests. Iclicker questions are very easy as well, you get to talk to classmates before you submit your answers. Overall, great easy teacher if you pay attention In class.

I suggest you pick a different professor for Psych 1000. Exams were very difficult and unless you made this your class you #1 priority you won't be able to get an A. I am a 4.0 student and still struggled.

He lectures through the entire class without many visuals, so if you're not good at learning by just listening the class will be harder. You have to purchase an online access and an iclicker and bring in your own answer sheets, so his class isn't financially forgiving.

If psychology is your #1 focus, then this professor will be great. However, people who are in a Biology major DO NOT TAKE PROF. LINDEN'S CLASS! Since i'm majoring in Bio, I don't have the time to read the chapters. The exam is not written by him so you have to read the textbook. I really do wish I never took his class because it dropped my GPA.

Dr. Linden is a nice person and is respectful. However, he is not technically the best teacher, but also not the worst. He does lecture, but points most of his expectations towards the book. Also, sometimes his tests do not correlate with what we have learned during his lectures, but he does offer much extra credit. Doesn't gives anything to review

It seems like you get the same scores no matter how hard you study. He tells us "You don't have to read the book, if you want to settle for a C". His exams are not the same as his lectures or the textbook. The outline is practically useless. Learning curve is useless. Preparing for his test is extremely difficult. He doesn't show u your test result

I played mariokart during the lectures, and still passed with a 4.0. His tests were not as difficult as I was led on to believe. I disliked how there were not powerpoint notes and how stressful the iclicker quizzes were. However, Dr. Linden is a very respectable professor and I would recommend him to a friend.

All these people dont know what theyre talking about. Professor Linden is great and his class is easy if you apply yourself. Take this class, come to lecture, and write down his examples in your notes! Its not that hard. Also he told the class it was application based exams... just read the examples to study.

Dr. Linden is a very fair professor overall. His class is basically an easy A if you go to his lectures, take notes, and make note of his examples given in class. The online homework was very easy and he offers a lot of easy extra credit. His lectures aren't boring, but he does go on tangents a lot (they are funny). Take his class for easy credit.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Linden is by far my favorite professor at OU. Extremely caring and hilarious. He's always making connections back to students (things we would actually understand). Not sure how he is with smaller classes but large classes are nonmandatory attendance and little participation. Definitely a class for us introverts! TAKE HIM!

Professor Linden was very nice; however, his exams are hard A*. I talked with my friends who had psy. 100 and their class was the complete opposite (easy A pretty much). You actually need to work and pay attention, but as said before, even if you do study really really hard, you will end up with a B+ like me. Good thing about his class is the 5%EC

Dr. Linden is amazing! I took development psych as a PA pre-requisite course and I really enjoyed his class! Lectures were lengthy but very interesting. Great examples to make the material stick. Easy HMWK per chapter, textbook needed for XC/a few test questions. DO THE XC! Listen to the lectures, take notes on his outlines and you will have a 4.0!

The lecture has nothing to do with the homework or the notes in the class, he gives you notes outlines but makes you do it. Good luck on the exams because it has nothing to deal with the lecture.

Dr. Linden was an amazing professor, he is straight forward with how youre graded and the workload is light, if you fail thats your fault. You can use the textbook, but I'd recommend just buying launchpad. He's very laid back, likes to have fun with his students, and he doesn't take attendance. He's one of the best teachers I've ever had.

I did not enjoy taking this course with Professor Linden. The lectures were very long and boring and much of what he said during them weren't actually on the test. The book will be your best friend for this course. The only positive was that the tests were online. Try to find another Professor for Intro to Psychology if possible
