are we talking about the same prof? struthers is amazing! very easy mc exams, lots straight from study guide. easy to talk to and ask questins. always friendly. a great prof. lectures kinda slow but dont wanna make u shoot yourself

all multiple choice exams! lectures were interesting

Well at least if the class sucks he is interesting to look at... pretty good overall.He's hot so at least take the class for that!

His mc questions can get tricky (he's very detail oriented). Otherwise a great professor, very approachable and helpful. Good lectures.

HOT and uses fun and interesting examples!

Engaging lecturer, i actually stayed awake during his 8:30 lectures. Handsome, very much so.

I love this class. He makes it fun to go to and has you listening for the entire class--very good lectures. overheads very short and to the point. exams...kind of difficult b/c of the amount to detail. very smart, knows what he's talking about...very handsome, too!

Struthers is a wonderful prof. Exams are alright, although you have to really study for them because they can get tricky at times. Lectures are very well presented. I highly recommend this him.

Interesting class. "Dr. Hot" is so cute with his in-class demos complete with student volunteers and his life experience stories. 1 or 2 questions on each exam were ambiguous (won't change) but they were overall fair if a little hard. He is a bit tight but good lectures. His TA is great for help.

Lectures are clear and to the point, quite engaging with students, humourous, which makes the lectures more interesting, test was NOT easy but fair. Speaks in non-authoritarian style-great. Choice of text was good. Bonus for attractiveness-distracting at times. (rating from an A student's pov)

very good prof...two thumbs up

was clear in his lecturing style, tests were okay if you read the textbook, he made lectures interesting.

SUPER DUPER HOTTTTTTT!!!! I would take the class all over again just to look at him....HI SIR I KNOW U READ THESE!!! However I did get an A in the class so I may be a bit biased.

tests seem REALLY EASY, but very decieving... tricky tricky... strongly advise everyone to study the small details!! uses all of the above, none of the above as well....to the point, good lectures, good textbook, TRICKY TRICKY tests!!!

“It is in his volitional capacity to make our test easy or hard". If you want an A, study between the lines and give 200% effort. Stop putting him on a pedestal, we'll make him a narcissist. Besides, he knows it already. Thesis supervisor would be good..what do you think?

He seems to take pleasure in the learning of his students. I think he's very competent.

Extremely interesting and helpful. Exams are quite easy as long as you attend lectures. Fair marker... HOT!

He kept lectures interesting and was the only lecture that you'd want to go to everyday. His exams are clear and fair, a little on the easy side if you keep up w/. readings and such. His TA's are also very adequete and helpful as well. Plus he's really sweet & funny...AND hot...AND approachable! Take his course!!!

He is an execellent Professor... He explains the terms or theories very clear... And he teaches in very interesting way... NOTICE: his exams are not easy at all... but if you study for the Exams, you for sure won't fail the course!

hot? super duper hot? what the hell... anyways, he's a really good prof, but i have no idea what these people mean by his supposed hotness. :/

Hot? No. Easy? Not really. Interesting? Definitely. He's a very capable prof. I would definitely recommend his class.

Very nice prof, good teaching style...interesting lectures... :) I would recommend his class ...

Although his tests can be hard, it is well worth taking this course with him. His lectures are very engaging and he is quite clear when explaining various concepts. As long as you study hard in this course, you'll get a good grade.

His tests are tricky but it is possible to get a decent grade if you study (A LOT). His lectures are interesting and overall he is a pretty good prof!

His lectures are usually fresh, well-structured and informative - he actually is confident and knowledgeable about the subject. Pretty good text. No, the exams are not a breeze, but they also aren't unreasonable either; you just can't coast through them - you have to know your stuff. Better than most profs I've had.

... to the last ratings ... Whaaat?... Seems to me that somebody is upset because the final exam was too tough for them ;) (no harm,just kidding) But I do agree that some of the concepts are just too much ... But the Prof is so nice :) and u know the research in other psych areas are as 'ethical' as research done in social psych.

...wait until u do your thesis:).. There was a study done before 60s,where they believed marijuana makes ppl. hungry(decreases blood sugar)so they gave men large dose of marijuana.lol,...talk about the ethics.But it

Hm--- this guy really has come a long way--- from being "egotistic, high and mighty, arrogant" to "the best prof ever!!!" LOL. Makes you wonder what kind of front he's putting up. Who the **** thinks his exams are easy?!!? Those were some of the most brutal MC questions I have encountered!!! I passed and I am thankful at least for that!

woah.. tough crowd. he really isn't so bad of a professor. he tries his best not to be a typically boring prof and he does a pretty good job methinks. the exams are not easy but they're definitely fair. come to the lectures, know the book inside out and you'll do just fine.

Dr. Struthers is an amazing prof with a lot of experience. If you need help, he is more than willing to help. He teaches with passion and he knows his stuff and he makes you know the stuff too. The only problem....his exams are almost impossible. They are very difficult and tricky :S But if your willing to learn he's willing to teach :)

Geez.. I guess he's one of those profs who has his lovers and haters. I personally think he is a really great prof. his exams are difficult, but his lectures are interesting. i never miss any one of his classes.

I only took his class because everyone on here was saying how hot he was. :P (So not true.. you people have bad bad taste.) :D But he's a good professor. Interesting and engaging. Definitely helped since the class is at 8:30 in the morning! Exams were too tough though.

these people are lying! he's the best professor at yorku!!! he's hot and smart and nice! highly recommend him!

This prof is an excellent lecturer. He has a lot of enthusiasm in the course and is very willing to help anyone. There were a lot of class discussions, which made the lectures more interesting. His exams are extremely hard so be prepared to STUDY for hours!!! Take this course with Struthers if you are REALLY interested in Social Psyc.

He's awesome and thats the end of that. I really hope he comes to his senses and teaches I/O in FW06/07 :D

Really good prof. Gets you thinking.

great class & great prof. He is so clear and there is nothing surprising on his exams. If you study you can do very well.

He is amazing! What I liked most about him was the fact that he actually knew what he was teaching, unlike most profs at York. His exams were very straightforward; if you study, you do well!

He is actually quite a good prof. Pretty interesting with his lectures and class discussions. You'll do find on the exams if you read the book AND show up to every class. His fashion taste sucks though-- those horrendous jeans he wears should be burned on a stake at City Hall-- and all the people will cheer! Woot!

Didn't find his exams that easy ... along with many other ppl in the class. He does know what he's talking about & he does make an effort to make things interesting.

I think because his lectures are interesting & user-friendly, his tests seem hard in comparison...you can't just know the stuff you've absorbed from class/light reading. You have to really study the text. I didn't work that hard, just learned all the "key" info about the big concepts, & got an A. He knows his****...and wants you to too.

Ward is an excellent professor- I wish there were more like him. He makes every lecture interesting (the videos are fantastic) and his enthusiasm is contagious. This class is amazing- you will learn a lot and want to keep learning about social psych.

Yeah, he's super hot. Made it easy to attend lectures in the morning hahaha. Class is an easy A as well, as long as you study in advance/read everything in the text.

common guys, this is university, don't blame the prof for your lack of effort, his exams are Not the hardest, they are Tricky, but Fair...you're lucky to have such an enthusiastic prof..hope he keeps it up! I'd take his classes anytime....

easy exams if you know the material, easy to do well, interesting classes, classes almost completely covered in textbook so not necessary

Professor Ward is very good at teaching. he keeps you awake and wanting to learn. Lectures are enjoyable and he has a very good way of projecting his voice, which i think is key to sitting through a 3 hour lecture. If you attend lectures, and read your text, you'll get an easy A.

a good, clear prof. keeps things interesting. ;)

He seems like a really nice, down to earth guy. The tests are ok, just read the material (its a little dense and repetative)

Very good professor. Has a lot to say and is very good at explaining it clearly. Lectures are interesting as long as you don't get one very early in the morning (i.e. 8:30). His tests are somewhat tough, so study a little extra hard for them and you'll do great.

His exams are really tricky. Read the text and attend his lectures because most of the exam questions are based on his lectures. Overall, the prof is pretty down to earth and seems to really love teaching.

Great Prof! He posts the powerpoints a little before hand which helps out a lot; however, you still need to go to the lectures. He is great as long as you keep up with the readings and go to class you'll be fine.

He's a wonderful professor! I was pretty nervous about taking his class (based on these reviews) but it turned out to be an exciting and easy class! His exams are straightforward. Pay attention to the SMALL details in the textbook. He loves them. Very helpful, and a real hottie =)

he is amazing, so funny and interesting. his exams are pretty easy, hes very helpful and clear. loved his class!! i recommend him for any class

I had him for Social Psych & it was the best class I've taken @ York so far. He works hard at engaging the class, & makes things very interesting. Sometimes we did activities where the class was required to participate. The material is interesting & so was the textbook. Take this class if you're debating, I got a B+ overall & I'm not the smartest!

I would describe this course as FAIR! I think everything on the tests are straight from the text book. it helps if you go to class and take notes because that way you'd know what to focus on from the text book. tests are fair.

This prof is SO cute and AMAZING! He gives concrete examples and makes lectures interesting. He talks slow so that u have enough time to write down definitions or theories. The exams r very easy if you study the textbook and his lectures. His lectures aren't filled with too much content which is good. Overall, this prof is the best!

Great prof. Truly. He doesn't cover much test material in the lectures but his lectures are interesting. Only prof I took a 8 30 AM class for. He answers questions, isn't boring, picks a good textbook, VERY FAIR tests. Easy to get an A with the proper studying. Truly good.

Easy class if you study that is. Make sure you read every bit of the textbook since most of the questions on tests are from the textbook! Overall, good prof but can be boring at times.

He's really funny and cute! Also approachable. His tests are all MC, NOT easy but not hard either if you study well. Really interesting lectures, my attention usually moves to something else but I listened to him lol :)

You missed the point!!! He did that so we can see how our perceptions can be accurate with little information. Not to talk about himself. Wonder what you will get in this class....

Amazing Professor! Content in his lectures don't always go in the same order as in the book, but it's not a big deal. All tests are MCs, I'd say about 80% of which are from textbooks, and only a few from the lectures. Easy tests if you study the book and take notes in class. He also gives BONUS credit for participating in studies.

this prof is number vun, he knows his stuff, he knows how to teach you the material so its not boring, makes you think. very helpful, the lectures come in handy when studying for the last test, 3 tests which are fair if you study you will earn the A, textbook is also good not too much material/chapter i would say vs. personality psych

Amazing prof! Funny, interesting and extremely worth 3 hours of lecture a week. Study the book and know the lecture notes by heart and you'll do great! take this course!!!

Great professor. He knows his stuff and can also teach! Very interesting lectures, however, very little of the lecture makes it to the exams, which are based on the textbook.

Best prof ever. Very helpful, very approachable. Keeps lecture interesting. need to attend lectures and study textbook in detail. Fair tests

one of my favourite profs. lecture feels more like a class discussion to get students thinking about the material. you need to know the text and lecture notes for each test (all multi choice), but tests are fair. plus you get bonus marks for study participation.

Lectures with a nice flow and asks questions, sometimes too many. Good sense of humor. Clearly explains main topics.

Pretty nice professor overall. He makes the class interesting with simple slides but talks more then just reading. Study hard for his exams though, pretty tricky questions!

Awesome prof! Make sure to do the readings + attend the lectures and you'll do fine! Pretty fair overall, super adorable and you can tell he loves teaching.

Course content quite interesting. Textbook good although a little redundant in certain sections. Lectures VERY engaging and well organized. Felt the exams tested my ability to decode the questions rather than my knowledge of the content. Ended with a high A. May consider taking another class with this prof.

Although my class was 8:30 am, but I never missed a class! He is amazing, if you want to get A/A+ read the text book very carefully and memorize every-thing! =]

I thought that course was pretty well balanced. He was able to make interesting and engaging yet challenging at the same time. It involves the same amount of studying like any other psychology textbook based course. Attendance is mandatory. Be aware that the last exam is cumulative and he made it way harder than it was supposed to be

Amazing lectures, u'll love them! 3 tests: final is more difficult than the first two tests, but pretty fair overall. Study the notes as well as the text for the final. There were 3 movies shown during the semester. Prof. Struthers, if you're reading this, pls change ur movie selection, TED talks would be great:) Other than that great course!!

I really enjoyed going to the lectures even though they were at 8:30am. He didn't just read the powerpoint slides, but really encouraged class participation. Some days we got out a bit early which was also nice. The final exam was difficult, but not horrible. Got a B+ by mainly memorizing the textbook & paying attention during lectures.

He makes 8:30AM classes enjoyable and tries to keep the material interestingrelatable. He's very enthusiastic about teaching and seems to want students to do well. Go to class and read the textbook VERY carefully and you will do well! Exams are 80% questions directly from textbook. He also gives bonus marks for participating in research studies.

Just take this course. The best professor ever. Very clear and very approachable. Interesting subject matter. Overall, the class has a very good vibe.

I'm an A+ student and struggled for a B in this course. He's very nice and interesting but his tests and exams are wayy too tough. I found the material very interesting and read the textbook front to back, and still really struggled for 70s on each test.

He tries to engage class discussion. He's helpful. His tests are fair and pretty easy. You have to show up to each class because the lectures take up 10% of the final and a good chunk of each of the two tests. The readings are fairly long so be prepared to read. It's an easy A/B+ if you do the readings and show up to each lecture.

He tries to make lectures as interesting as possible and can be be quite funny. The tests can be tricky but pay attention to the examples in the textbook and you should be good.

I recommend this course for those who want a logical path toward getting an A. You need to read the textbook, attend the lectures and take notes. If you do these two things well, then you will get an A. He is not there to trick you.

Went to class twice, barely any lecture material is on the tests. 2 test worth 30%, all multiple choice. Exam is not cumulative beside a very small portion based on lecture content. Read the textbook and write the test, very simple to get a good grade. Lectures may help you understand the material easier but they're not necessary.

One of the best Profs I've had thus far. He made 8am lectures enjoyable and I learned a lot from the course. I would say that the tests are based more off the textbook, but his lectures and the examples he gives makes the content easier to remember. I would definitely recommend this course and this Prof!

Amazing prof! Amazing person!

Loved taking this class with Dr. Struthers. He would make the lectures interesting and fun! Tests are ok, not too difficult. Read the text 1 or 2 times and take good notes from the text and you will get an A for sure.

There are only three exams (30, 30, 40) without any assignment, so if you are the kind of person who likes reading the textbook, this course is for you, although 550 pages are not that easy to get through. Lectures are exciting, but the material is irrelevant to the exam questions. Just focus on the textbook, and you will get a +A.

This professor was very kind and a great person. Although the tests are majority textbook the questions are fair and as long as you do the chapter readings you should do well. The lectures are interesting and he does many interactive activities which are fun.

He is genuinely a great prof, nice person, has interesting lectures, and all the exams are multiple choice. I would not focus too much on the lectures because everything on the exams are from the textbook. I would recommend extensively reading the textbook each week because it is a lot to read the week before the exam. His slides are pretty dry.

I really enjoyed this seminar with Dr. Ward. He was very insightful and understanding. Participation is important; not just showing up, but making good points that connect to readings. 10% Presentation about a reading in class, 20% Participation, 35% Research Proposal Presentation, 35% paper on the proposal. Ask questions, he is really helpful.
