He's VERY VERY VERY easy.
He's os the best professor I have had, If you need a GPA buster take him you will get an A there is no doubt about it, just make sure to go every class meeting because attendance counts as points on his exams, and when I say points I mean 30 points!
he is fantastic!if you want an A, you got it..
hes the peoples professor!!!!!!!!
he is the Students champion!!!!!!!
The EASIEST professor ever.He'll give you a lotttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt of extra credit. especially a lot if u just participate. Even if u may be failing his tests, he'll bring ur grades up by giving u extra grades. You will be thanks for having him. I think his favorite grade is A.
one of the most patient professor and enthusiastic one class i have been.
Dr. Lei is a very happy and go easy man. He gave me a second chance to take an exam and I am greatly thankful for that
Proffesor Lei's made his class into an environment where it was easy to understand and if we didn't he gave us a lot of time and chances to ask questions.He made us know about our progress during the semester.He made sure he gave us the material that will be on the exam so it would be easier for us to reatain info.His reviews did help alot in exams
Are you serious Prof. Lei. You must have rated yourself. Rating: Accent very difficult to determine what he is trying to say. Even some Asian students did not understand his pronunciation of word. He becomes irritated if asked to repat what he said and remembers the student by making unpleasant comments.
PROFESSOR TING LEI IS AWESOME
First day of class, he shows a slide with students' positive and negative opinions of him. He knows he has a heavy asian accent, but he's thicked skinned and encourages you to ask him to repeat anything if you don't understand something. He has a big sense of humor and makes class fun!
I was quite disappointed in Prof Lei in that he wasn't very challenging. The only challenge you'll have is his heavy accent. Other than that, he's very easy and even if you fail his tests, he gives you extra points so that you'll pass. Very boring professor and makes you lose interest and focus. Easy "A" without a minute of studying.
Professor Lei Ting is a kind professor. His test are easy; however, you wouldnt really learn much in his class. On the other hand you will recieve an easy grade.
It is very hard NOT to get an A in his class because he loves to give lots of extra points for anything you do. He gives students an extra 20 points for turning in their term paper 2 weeks early!? He is silly, likes to use videos as a teaching tool and his accent can be a bit frustrating. Don't buy the book. Tests are based on his lectures.
very good
he is a good professor.In his class if you follow his lecture and take notes plus a light review from the book you will past the test.He is a very fair professor,his teaching method is very subtle and you will learn without pressure.If you get bored, just give him some time and he will give you a tune up with a fair grade
One of the best professors I ever had. The class is based on his notes so you don't need the book. We took 2 exams, one 5-8 page paper, and the final. Never gives hw. He has a heavy accent but its not that hard to understand him. Very fair and just a good teacher.
Pay attention to his handouts, videos shown in class, and the materials on the overhead projector - if you do all three things you will eaily get an "A".
He is the best and no question about it..Just take notes in his class and take notes while you are watching videos, you'll be okay.Don't be late or absent from his classes because at the end it will come back to you and bite you.
his a great prof... his teaching method is great. lots of flims.. 2 exams.. 1 paper.. you deff. will enjoy his class. also long as u come to class on time and pay attention.. it would be an easy A. the paper is easy as well.. follow the handouts and discussions in class and ull do fine on the exams.
He is a wonderful professor. He is very helpful and kind.
He is a great proffesor even though is a little hard to understand his accent. Very patient and gives you the opportunity. Don't be late or absent in his class because this will help you in your tests.
Lei is great, he has an accent but don't need to be brain sugeron to understand what he is saying. People don't understand because they are dumb and can't put informations together. Ex. If a dag chase a cav the dag will win, eveybody knows dag is DOG and cav is CAT, but dumb people don't. Get my point. Lei is great, He help u runs marathods too.
Excellent professor I enjoyed being in his class and I liked that he used visual aids and films which helped you to remember the subject content. I would definitely advise taking him.
It was a Fun class...
i don't recommend even though class is very easy to pass, his tests are a little hard but the main reason people love him is because he gives extra points for attendance(u got half wrong and u still pass).He is really unorganized and chaotic.His accent make you confused.Movies are 20 years old :/i got A but i would never take him again.
A great teacher, easy, fun class. Highly recommended.
Well, I understood every word he said, but he made the class/examples hard. I got an A even though the test were hard. Basically if you go to class on time, you will get an A since he adds like 20 points to each exam. 3 exams and one paper total 80% of the grade, but at the end he adds another 20%+ grade boost if you have a good attendents.
Great Professor! Easy to get an A! I reccomended to take him!
Wow.Class was so much more fun than I thought!He incorporates a little neuroscience into it so you have to pay attention to his handouts but he keeps everyone awake & laughing so you LEARN THE FUN WAY!Gives extra credit for attendance,participation & effort-if he see's you're really trying,you will pass!Doesn't nit-pick, overall GREAT prof! :)
WONDERFUL TEACHER EASY BUT ONLY IF U DO YOUR WORK HE IS A GOOD TEACHER CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE IS GOOD HE IS ALWAYS TELLING JOKES IMAGINE A CHINESE MAN W/ A ACCENT THAT HAS LOTS OF JOKES KEEPS CLASSROOM EXCITING BUT U MUST GO TO HIS CLASS AN ON TIME HE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT ATTENDACE GIVES LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT WOULD TAKE IT AGAIN!!! AN NOT THAT MUCH WO
DON'T take this guy! u will learn nothing. He's all over the place, students always talking and he allows them to. His tests are hard; he doesn't teach. I pick my classes based on this review site and for the 1st time the reviews were so off. Good thing I'm not a psy major else this grade would set me back
He is a gifted teacher. He respects his students enough to make them think, not just memorize. I was super skeptical about psychology, but his open attitude changed my mind. He integrates material from all over the place, which isn't confusing if you open your mind. He was engaged and prepared. You could tell he cares that his students learn.
Very entertaining, informative, and pleasant. Class was delightful. Readings were pretty useless, however, and I would have appreciated more recent articles in the field. Otherwise, the class was excellent, and the Professor was great.
Professor Lei read my papers carefully and gave useful feedbacks. His humorous and open attitude made my educational psychology class a great learning experience.
Dr. Lei is clearly an expert in his field, and I can't remember the last time I had a professor who was so receptive to students' suggestions and comments. His grading system wasn't entirely clear, but I can forgive that because he was pretty generous with grades. I enjoyed the class.
It was a pleasure to come to class. I would recommend Prof. Lei to others. Unlike other professors and instructors, he usually starts class with a funny joke or story. I would take another class with him.
we became friends ever since my first semester with him, I took Psy100 and 240 with him, that was over 2 yrs ago and I still go to him 4 advice on which 4yr school 2 go 2 & i even let him pick my major. He gives extra points 4 att. 2 take of stress 4 ppl who work full time but if u read the book youll get all 100s tnx 2 him Im studying 4 Mas. in Ps
very good professor. yes you have to give in ur part as well. that obivous. very fun and entertaining class. the best of the best. loved it
I think if you likes to express your opinion in class a lot, he actually fit you. class attendence and participation is the most important. if you do bad in exam, he gives a lot of chancex to get extra credits if you want. very intersting class, and relax!

great
BEST PROF EVER! He's a kind person and as long as you go to all his lecture you will do fine. Pay attention to the videos and you'll do fine. You dont have to worry about his accent because you'll get use to it after the first week. Very funny as well and smart, he knows his stuff. Very intellectual. Best psy prof ever!
he's nice and everything but can't teach...all he does is show videos most of the time...i taught myself basically...he gives alot of extra credit...at the end of the semester i had an A but ended up with a B- because of the final so you have to study as much as you can for his tests
Best teacher ever
He was very funny and smart! His grading doesn't really make sense, but I didn't care since I got an A! He is very generous when grading so you don't have to worry! Just pay attention to whatever he teaches in class and you'll get an A as well. Don't bother buying the textbook, just pay attention in class and videos! Best of luck!
He is a super easy professor. All we do in his class is to watch videos. We don't have any homework. No textbook. I don't even study for his tests( it didn't means it is easy, his tests are hard, but You will be fine ) whatever, he is a very easy professor!!!! If you want to get a good grade in psy. Just take him! He is better than any one.
The best of the best!! I wish all of the teachers would be like him. He makes the class so intresting that the knowledge goes to your brain on its own. Unbelievable, amazing approach to students. He is my favorite professor. Very fair and passionate about his work.I highly reccomend his class.
Great Prof In Bmcc , takes the time to explain the material step by step. he is extremely funny and makes class fun. There's no need to buy the textbook jus take notes, pay attention while watching the videos and you'll be set. highly recommended for those that wanna take Psy.
HE IS THE BEST BECAUSE HE REALLY CARE ABOUT EVERY STUDENT.
He's great. gives extra credit and only 3 or 4 exams and a term paper. if your attendance is good he gives you extra 4 points on your exams each time.
his accent may be hard to understand at times which is why i had problems in this class, but he is very nice, everyone likes him. don't even bother getting the textbook, it was never used.
Awesome Professor. At times he is a bit hard to understand because of his accent but he does a great job explaining the material. He showed us bunch of study cases through which I understood the material and he also have very interactive class rooms. Absolutely take his classes even if just as general requirement.
Hes a very sweet guy. very smart and he doesnt make you feel dumb. Recommend this professor. His test are easy if you study and everything we talk about in class is on the test so pay attention.
I love this teacher, he is very helpful. He always answered my emails and always talked after class. His work in and out of the class is very interesting. His tests are super easy if you pay attention. I love this professor.The only thing is that I purchased an expensive book, and we never even used it! ask b4 buying! I highly recommend him!
The best professor ever. his class is extremely easy and if you want an easy A then go to him. has a difficult accent but you'll get use to it over time. attendance is mandatory and extremely important does great reviews and explains well.
i was expecting much more from his class since he graduated at Harvard and teaches at Columbia. However, his class was very hard even though I am an A student. I did my best on his exams and participated in his discussions, yet I received a poor grade in the end. He didn't give me a 0.5% or rechecked my exam which would save me from getting a C+.
He is the best that BMCC has to offer. I never needed to use the textbook, yet I got a perfect score in his class, it is because his lectures were engaging.
His tests are extremely hard, he gives no study guides which will screwed your grade at the end. Get ready to watch lots of videos, no notes or textbook used. He is overall an OKAY professors, not my learning style. His class is based on discussion mostly. Got an C+ for his class.. just imagined.. and I got An A for PSY100 different professors
A study guide would be extremely helpful
Professor Lei's class was interesting, captivating, and also at time frustrating because the lecture was all over the place. The teacher has some unique views. The exams were difficult, but Professor Lei was very generous with extra credit points if you came to class regularly.
Good!
Pro. Lei is a alright teacher. As long as you are there for each class and you study your notes well you will pass. KNOW HOW TO TAKE NOTES!!! This is how you will pass the tests. He has a small accent but you learn to understand him as time goes along. He is a very generous teacher though. Gives extra credit alot so take advantage of it.
he is such a generous extra credits giver!! as long as you attend class and participate in class, you have no problem in the class!! he is a very easy going man and funny. highly recommend. nobody drop class from the beginning till the end.
Awesome. Very generous with extra credit! He covers many interesting topics and I loved his lectures! Definitely made psychology a lot more fun. Copy notes very well, as the exam pertains to only lecture material. One term paper on topic of your choice. I'll miss Professor Lei!!!! One of very few great professors at BMCC!
Professor Ting Lei is the best professor that BMCC can offer. His lectures are very inspirational and interesting. You will never get bored in his class. I would definitely take his class again.
Cant say anything wrong about professor lei. He made phy so fun and interesting. He has a great sense of humour. Show up for class evey week and you will receive extra credit. There's only one paper & you can choose what to write about. I wish more professors were like him.
One of BEST psychology professor. He is super easy. Three tests based on the classroom discussions so you must take notes. He assign a research paper and it is up to your choice of topic. Attendance and participation matters- thats how he will remember you. Take him you will learn a lot.
Great Professor . Never assigned any homework . We had 3 Exams, no review sheet for all 3 so i hope you can take notes.1 research paper on any topic you would like. We never used the textbook so don't purchase even tho it was cheap on amazon. try not to be late or absent. he lets u eat in class too . you will get use to his accent.
Very good teacher. Classes are very interesting . Learned so much in that class. He shows lots of documentaries. he is very funny . Beware has VERY heavy accent gives no homework , just a Research paper on psychological development due at the end of the semester if you don't have good memory take good notes
Come on time and don't miss the class , because it's part of your grade. 3 multiple choice tests and one research paper in the end of the semester on any topic that relates to phycology, He is hilarious and helpful! You WILL GET USE TO HIS ACCENT.
has a heavy accent and took a while to get used to. even then, it was very difficult to understand him. his lectures are all over the place and the material he uses to teach is like two decades old. psych was my favorite subject but he made it a bit boring. grading criteria is also very confusing. attendance DEFINITELY matters. take at ur own risk
I didn't learn anything from this class. He tries to make the class interesting, but isn't that clear with what he's teaching. If there's extra credit, DO IT. It saved my grade. The tests are extremely difficult, and his power point slides aren't that clear.
Gives clear explanations on his lectures. The PowerPoints and extra materials are available on BlackBoard.
He was a nice Professor and the material was interesting. He tries to incorporate media into the classroom so he will lecture and show videos. If you come to class and pay attention there is no way to fail. There was a textbook but I never used it, 1 term paper at the end of the course but he allows you to pick any topic you want to write about
He was an amazing professor! All of his lectures were interesting which made you wan't to come to class everyday. You learn things that you will need in the future. There one research paper that assigned the first day and due toward the end of the semester (you choose the topic.) Professor Lei is always there to help.
I had him this past Spring Semester and he's a good professor. He teaches off of powerpoints. Attendance is very important so don't skip his class. If you answer his question if he calls on you or not, you'll get extra credit. Hoping I can take is class for PSY 240. I got a C- because I missed his class a few times
YOOOooo..... The Best Professor EVerrrrrrrrrr.... Take him. his accent is strong but you will get use to it. He's a great professor.
Hes a little weird but hes cool I guess attendence is SO IMPORTANT his test are 50 questions and theres 4 main exams no papers no homework no reading , he needs to update his lectures tho he uses old powerpoints from 1999 its 2017 dude !
IF you don't take Professor Lei then i don't know and good luck with your other professor. He's very caring. All his lessons are on blackboard so thats great. You get extra points for attendance. He's just awesome! One of the best professors at BMCC. He's funny too. :) :) :)
THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER! Take his class you will not regret it. Easy A just show up to class on time though. Get extra points on exams for being early.
he is a wonderful professor and i enjoyed his class. it was interesting and fun. only thing that ill say is if you dont get the topics, your not studying. its not that hard
Prof. Lei is great. His lectures are not boring. He likes to be silly and make funny jokes. He keeps you interested in the developmental topics. Although, his English is a little off, you understand him as you go along the class. Best advice: pay attention in class and take notes. His tests are easy if you take notes. No homework at all, really.
Great Professor, at first I was stressed out with his accent but after the first three classes it got better and better. Very smart professor, gives tons of extra credit opportunity and very fair exam. Not a walk over don't get too comfortable to do all reviews write notes and review slides and you have you A.
Professor Ting Lei is a sweetheart, since the first day the spring semester started he was already making jokes, he's funny, caring, gives lots of extra credit and lectures but their not boring at all. gives no homework. if you show up to class, participate and pay attention its an easy A. he's intelligent! grad from Harvard, would take him again!
Prof. Lei is an amazing teacher that teaches real world psychology. He doesn't drone on and on from the text (he never even used it). He is so right the accent keeps you interested and you get accustomed to it. He is funny too. Oh and his tests are exactly what he talks about in class and don't be absent or late or you will lose your extra credit.
Hes so boring...
Amazing professor, truly cares about his students and teachers Psych with so much passion. If you need help, ask him. Gives a review sheet before test, VERY helpful. He was great and I would definitely take again.
This Professor is amazing. His lectures are very interesting and has a sense of humor. He definitely cares about attendance and lateness and it will affect your grade. He gives extra credit opportunities and cares that his students do well. he has an accent but you get used to it pretty quickly. His tests are straight from the material he teaches.
Honestly this is a good professor. I try to understand him when he explains the lectures. Gives a review before the exam. He gives you extra credit if you show up on time.
Those who don't do well in this class either don't participate, come late/not at all or are in the wrong class. This class was refreshing because this professor encourages you to think outside the box and has great discussions. If you show up, pay attention, and stay engaged (something college & life requires from you) you will do well.
this professor has a strong accent that i dont understand. he has an organized syllabus. there are extra credit oppurtunties. there are 3 test and a final. there are no papers, just particpate. this class is really good for students who are intersted in Psy.
At times it was hard to understand him due to his accent but overall a great professor. He shows videos during class and grades based on attendance, 3 exams and a final. He gives extra credit opportunities, even gives extra points on exams and the finals just for coming to class (helped me pass), so attendance is mandatory. Easy class
He is an amazing professor! From the first lecture he was telling us jokes and getting us involved in discussions. He uses videos and doesnt give homework. Attendance counts as extra credit! He is very caring and supportive and as long as you attend and pay attention there is no reason you wont get an A. Definitely would recommend!!
His personality is out of this world. If you take his online class you'll need connect purchase to access the assignments, other than that you will need to attend every class. His lectures are very friendly mostly watching documentaries based on the recent assignments, expanding your knowledge for current real-world scenarios, very understanding.
Let me just tell you that professor Ting Lei is the BEST professor. NO EXAMS, NO HOMEWORK. To pass his class you will have to do the McGraw Hill assignments (which you will always get 100 on them) and you will have to attend his class. IF YOU DO NOT ATTEND THE CLASS YOU WON'T PASS!!! Don't be lazy; attend. Also, you do not have to do the final exam
the best prof ever
He makes his class very interesting and interactive.
Great professor. Attendance matters! He counts how long you been in class. So my advice don't skip class. If you have earned enough points before final, then you don't need to take final. Unless you want to. You should be able to get 93+ before final. Participate in class, asks questions and professor will help you.
Professor Lei is an amazing teacher he does have a heavy accent but still understandable. He gives good lectures and is very informative. Just do the assignments on time (you still get a 100 for trying even if you don't get every answer right) and attendance is important!! Show up on time.
This professor is CHEF KISS. LITERALLY. No exams, papers, nothing BUT the McGraw Assignments. Sure they'll take a while to finish BUT imagine you always get a 100% on all the assignments?? That's pure bliss. CHEF KISS. He has a thick-ish accent but if you pay good attention, you'll understand him.
Prof Lei is one of those professors that you don't come around often. He makes PSY so easy and fun to learn, will make you question everything and is very caring. Will go above and beyond for his students and always available to help out! There's no reason not to get a great grade with him if you participate, show initiative & do the assignments.
Prof Lei is well respected and an awesome professor. He cares about his students. You have to participate in this class since participation makes up majority of your grade. You will also have to do McGraw hw, which is lengthy but doable. Do well in both participation and hw, you might even opt out of the final! Thank you prof for a wonderful sem!
This professor you get literally once in a life time. Only had 1 test and if you got an A you dont need to take it. Because of this he puts alot of value on participation and attendance. Full credit on all online work If you participate hes a easy A. But he gets off topic alot, so if you are serious about psych major take that intoi consideration.
Lovely professor! 10 McGraw hw i finished within the free trial. Attendance and participation(60%) weighted heavily on ur grade. If you participate enough you can OPT the final! It's mostly discussion in class but he listens very well and gives extra credit opportunities! Don't skip classes and talk in class and you'll be fine!
Prof. Lei was amazing, if you want an A all you have to do is participate in class and do all the assignments, its that simple. His lectures are interesting and he is very funny. The only downside is paying for the book and the assignments can go up to 2hrs, if you knock 2 assignments a week and contribute in class you will be guaranteed a A+
Amazing professor. All you have to do is show up for class and participate. Easy A. I was able to finish all the homework with the free trial. Each class was worth 3 participation points. By the end of the semester you should be able to opt out of the final. Take this class don't hesitate.
Prof. Lei was a very caring professor and his lectures were very interesting. Participation does matter! he gives extra credit every class if you participate. We used McGraw Hill for homework, and they are long but relatively easy. I would take him again. he is an amazing professor.
Best professor out there, good topics, no boring stuff, ting lei the best
If you're undecided look no more ! Inspirational with clear grading criteria. Fabulous professor. I will definitely take again if I had too. One of the best professor on campus. LAC.
Professor Lei is genuinely one of the best professors at BMCC. His lectures are so informative and make you see psychology from a new perspective. What will make or break your grade is participation. If youre taking his online class, put your camera on and be ready to answer questions and join the conversations with others. Great course.
Professor Lei makes this class enjoyable with his engaging lectures. Participation is key, but it's worth it - you can even opt out of the final if you contribute enough. Unstuckstudy was a great study aid alongside the free course materials.
Lectures were about anything but developmental Psy. Many unprofessional comments and opinions, that are borderline offensive. I did everythin including participation and 100% attendance, got 100 on every quizz . Did not get an A. Also, very thick accent so it was hard to understand, but it didn't really matter as he did not teach psychology.
An easy A if you attend lectures and complete assignments. Tons of extra credit, so skipping the final is possible. But lectures are boring and barely relate to the subject - felt more like neurobiology than psychology. The professor's accent makes comprehension tough. I learned only by reading the textbook myself. Felt like a waste of time.
Though this was a dev psych class, we did not learn anything about the subject in class. Class consists of Professor Lei jumping from one topic to another loosely related topic, the theories he mentions are based in pseudoscience and teaches them as if they are factual. Also frequently discusses sex and its details. Don't take if you want to learn.
Easiest A of my life and I actually learned a lot! The class was fun, engaging, and super informative. What I appreciated most was how the professor always connected the material to real-life situations, which made everything easier to understand and remember. Highly recommend if you want to enjoy learning without feeling overwhelmed.
One of my most mentally stimulating classes. Despite that I did love the discussion topics, he is PROBLAMATIC by openly PROFILING his students.INAPPROPRIATE Almost every class since he found out that I did not want to birth my own children, he brought it up during class. He is soft SPOKEN and struggles a lot to real in the class. They talk over him
dont take it especially if its important to your major. nothing is clear When teaching about triggering topics no warning is given very inappropriate videos shown like pictures of peoples/ kids genitals) thing that should been taught differently for this type of lesson. I wished class was canceled every day dont take it. just my opinion.
