Hooke is pretty entertaining, even for a 4-hour long night class-which I took. He jokes about himself, is not afraid of being politically incorrect to really talk about an issue. I would take his class again!

Mr. Hooke is an inspiring teacher, he understands that we are students and that we have lives outside of class. He is flexible and understanding, makes the complex concepts very clear. He has a great sense of humor and is willing to make fun of himself. You will have fun in his class.

he is an great teacher, his tests are very difficult, but he makes coming to class fun.

I enjoyed the diverse class discussions. Wayne is interested in teaching by way of on-line notes, class discussion, lecture, and group work. This helps with all learning styles.

One of my favorite prof's at PCC. Entertaining and very clear. You have to go to class though to do well. He gives Pop Quizs, etc. that are useful for the exam, and are points for the class. Definetly take his class if you have the opportunity!

Best teacher I've had so far.

Mr. Hooke is a Mack Daddy ya'll!

I have a wonderful time in his class thanks to the atmosphere he creates. I am learning yet having fun in the process--who'd have thought? A thoughtful, intelligent and sensitive teacher with a great sense of humor.

This guy is hilarious! Take his class people!!! I know I will definetly take him again. Hooke's the man!

I looked forward to class each week!

Wayne is a excellent instructor, and I highly recommend him.

Hooke IS the man! Absolutely the best teacher I have ever had!! He takes a hard subject to learn, and makes it fun and interesting. You will learn ALOT about yourself and others. Very good sense of humor, and he always tells it like it is. Expect some hard tests...but he more than prepares you for them (trust me). Cannot wait to take him again

Keeps the class interesting and manages to keep the pace of the class up and manages to keep ALL the students moving at the same pace of the class.

This teacher is great. He is very organized and presents the material clearly and completely. He makes class interesting. I will definately be taking his upper level psych classes because he actually helps you get the information in your brain.

One of my favorite teachers at PCC. He's very funny, smart, and the combination of the two make his class very entertaining as well as informative. When speaking with him one on one, he's very friendly, easygoing, and sensitive. He really cares about his students, and it shows. I'm definitely taking his classes again.

Wayne is an amazing passionate teacher who makes it impossible to fail this corse. His knowleged is countered only by his sence of humor and terrific smile. Least I forget this angel of a teacher also lets you use NOTES!!!!! I will miss this class and the teacher.

I can't say enough GOOD things about Wayne Hooke. He is an amazing professor who really makes you interested in what he is teaching! He's funny, extremely smart, and passionate about what he teaches. He really tries to interact with the students which is really nice. I wish all professors were like him! I am DEFINITELY taking him again!

Wayne rocks! I love a teacher whose both funny AND intelligent & Wayne is both. I'm just sad that there are no more classes he teaches that I can take. As for the work; you do need to read the chapters and listen to the lectures if you want an A in the class but if you put in just a smidge of effort and show up 80% of the time you'll do just fine!

I have taken Wayne for Psych 201 and am currently in his 202 class. He's the most amazing, understanding instructor I have ever met. He has an example to go with every topic so it sticks in your head. There isn't enough space to say how great he is, just take him and you will know!

I've taken Wayne's class a few times, and I absolutely love him. He has a way of teaching that is useful, fun and memorable. His classes have been the highlight of my day on many occasions and I've learned so much from him. Highly recommended.

Great teacher - interesting, funny, and very helpful in and outside of class on an individual basis. Doesn't overdo it on the homework, keeps you on your toes with his hilarious lectures, and runs great in-class activities. Take this teacher - you won't regret it.

The best psychology professor ever, period. Funny, witty, craaaazy, and very helpful.

Wayne is an excellent teacher that I would recommend to anyone. It doesnt matter if you are interested in psychology or not, if you get the chance take his courses. He is a fair person who will help you have you are late on something or have a problem. The guy is top shelf!

I have taken two of his courses and I absolutly loved it. The best time spent in school. You actually don't get to track the class time because it flies. I would reccomend him to anyone.

hilarious, uses iclickrs which are awesome, relates to the students but still maintains the professor status. Delivers information in a simple way but not dumbing it down beyond all reason. HIGHLY recommend.

I personally would have liked a more challenging class with some depth to it--this one felt like fluff to me. It depends on what you're looking for. If you just want an enjoyable, easy way to earn 4 credits, and don't care to dig beneath the surface of psychology, his classes are for you. He is helpful, likable and funny.

all i can say is that he is a cool dude. i liked the way he teaches and the way he would sometimes use himself as an example it was pretty funny. he has been the best psy teacher i have had. really cool dude...

Great Teacher. . .the class was very interactive and fun.

He is a fantastic teaceher who understands that we have lives outside of school and does everything he can to help work things out.

Super fun classes! He lets you have notes in test and is interested if you've got issues going on in your life that affect your attendance or grade. A little full of himself, but I'd take another class from him anytime!

ONLINE WEB CLASS. Read, read, read. Because there is no lecture all of your info comes from the book. He's very helpful and tries to address all discussion board posts personally. I wish his class room class fit in to my schedule. From meeting him at the tests I know I'd enjoy his classes. Also, don't get behind there's too much to do.

Great teacher! Keeps class interested and he is very funny. I plan on taking a class with him again.

this is the best teacher there can ever be. he knows his subject and he is very helpful. you will need to learn and do work but im sure you will enjoy it. Lets u use book and notes in midterm and final and quizzes are done through blackboard

Has to be, hands down, the best teacher I have had the pleasure of taking. I have taken him for 2 other courses as well and was not disappointed. Very laid back and colorful. Not afraid to talk about taboo topics. Not an easy A by and means but definitely worth it. Highly Recommend this professor!

He is really helpful and funny. His quizzes are done through blackboard and pretty easy. You have to read your text book, but the lectures are very interactive and is happy to answer any questions. Definitely one of the best psychology teachers I've ever had.

LOVE HIM!! He is awesome! I took his Human Sexuality Classes and he is great! Very flexible in turning in things late, funny and very clear on what he wants. Attendance is mandatory because he has these clickers that do surveys which record points.

Great guy! Knows his subject and keeps you interested. I will take the remainder of Human sexuality with him for sure!

His class is very interesting and never dull! Reading is required if you want to pass the tests, but he really does give you every opportunity to succeed.

Wayne is the man! I have very much enjoyed having him as a teacher. He is very laid back and has a great attitude and sense of humor. I would recommend him to anyone.

He is a great professor... he keeps you entertained while you learn what you need to. he's funny and pretty understanding about turning things in late and such. He uses iclickers for points so you have to go to class. He gives you a grace of mussing one class but after that the clicker points will effect your grade! Overall I would recommend him!!!

If taking a class about sex, for credit, wasn't awesome enough, Mr. Hooke is the perfect guy to teach it. Homework load isn't bad, he's lax on due dates, but you'll learn A LOT and he isn't afraid to talk about anything during class. He has a very charming quirkiness and sense of humor. Oh, and he's also a snazzy dresser. :) chili pepper!

He's very nice and extremely helpful, especially to foreign students like me. I've learned a lot from him. He's ready to spend time to help his students, encourage them and help them to achieve their goal.

It's hard to imagine a better professor than Wayne. He's hilarious yet professional, his lectures are entertaining and clear. In a class about sex, you need a teacher who doesn't make things awkward. Wayne is that guy. Ask him anything. He'll never embarrass you. He always elevates the mood. You'll learn a lot and have a great time while you do it.

Wayne is an awesome teacher. He balances humor with professionalism in what could be an extremely awkward class. He's extremely fair about grading- do the work and go to class. Highly recommended!

loved him so far!

Wayne is amazing! Lenient on turn in dates, extremely funny, nice, and a great teacher. Take a class from him if you want to learn about psychology, and need a stress relief from the daily grind of college. he's great!

Great prof. Fair and helpful. I look forward to having him again.

I love him.Really hope he is a g

would take classes from this professor again

Fun class. Take it even if you don't need it. Awesome teacher. Insightful and interesting.

Wayne Hooke is the boss! Take his class and you will be like a boss too. Challenging, but well worth the effort.

Wayne is a good teacher who is able to present information in a clear and entertaining way. He is very laid back and has a good sense of humor. The class involves a practicum, a literature review paper, and tests on statistical methods in psychology. Outside of class, he is approachable and will offer educational/career advice during office hours.

Wayne is probably my favorite teacher at PCC ever. He teaches very well and makes class fun. I liked him so much i have now taking 4 psy classes with him.

I LOVE WAYNE! I've taken two classes from him now, and would take every class he ever taught if it was possible. He's a great guy, great teacher, and is the perfect mix of sweater vest-wearing professor and sailor mouthed weird uncle. He is my favorite.

Excellent teacher

Best teacher I've had at PCC. Class is never boring and he always makes it a good time! Tests aren't too hard and his papers are easy too and he's extremely flexible with his turn in policy.

Wayne is funny, approachable, laid back and keeps class interesting. The assignments can be time consuming but he is flexible about deadlines. His tests are completely multiple choice. He grades very fairly. The learning objectives online and in the book are helpful. He took a long time to cover material in lecture because of using the iclickers.

Took the class online, comment below is not accurate about quizzes I got an 80 on 2 and still got an A in the class. If you do all the work you can get and A. Wayne is open to helping you, you just have to talk to him about any troubles you are having. He is very fair. I learned a ton about research, that will help in the future with my academics.

He was a great teacher, very interesting to listen to. kept your attention while teaching.

I am taking his class now and I really enjoy it. He is teaching us skills that many people never learn in college. I messed up on one of the quizzes because I did not submit my answers before the time ran out, but he gives one freebie. The course is challenging and fun- just what college should be.

I personally love Wayne to death. Yes his class is challenging, but welcome to college. I learned so much from Wayne and I deeply appreciate his willingness to prepare me for university life. Wayne was helpful to me and no matter how upset I became, he always took the time to listen to me and help me with my assignments. I will take his class again

Hooke's online class is HARD! The research project assignments will take 2 to 3 times longer than is estimated. I learned A LOT about doing proper research, evaluating web pages and interpreting extremely scientific data, but not much about Psychology. You will learn great skills for future science or tech. writing courses, but not Psych.

Class was really fun. He kept you awake even when then the topic was not very interesting. The research projects were hard but he did everything possible to make sure you could work up to a good grade if you put forth the effort. Not a class to half ass it through. Totally recomended.

Lectures are great and Wayne is personable. The links between assignments, reading, and lectures aren't super obvious but they all sync up eventually. Research skill development project is tedious but useful. Students looking to coast should look elsewhere, though Hooke is ALWAYS eager to help any student in need.

He was very helpful in clearifying information and making it make sense.

Human sexuality is a fun class, and Mr. Hooke has an excellent sense of humor. Work load was relatively minimal, and lectures were interesting. Midterm was all multiple choices. I highly recommend this course.

This was a labored intensive class, not what I expected, but I liked Wayne..he was good about being thorough and if you didn't understand was patient at explaining until you got the concept. He always had the class engaged, by the end of the term, I was really interested in this class. I would take another class from him again

Very difficult class. Very boring. I like Hooke, but it's not a very fun class. If you want to learn how to research, you should take this class. If not, then don't.

Dr. Hooke teaches something that you don't see much of in classes these days. He gives you the tools you need to accurately internalize, process, and interpret real information, facts, and scientific studies. It's not an easy thing to learn but he is there to hold your had IF you ask for his help. Hooke is an essential instructor at PCC.

He is one of the best professors that I have ever had, I was fighting Moderate Clinical Depression during my term in his class and he did everything he could to ensure that I had what I needed to succeed. Regardless of what the bad ratings say, this class will help you succeed in the future and is a refreshing take on an intro psych class.

Mr. Hooke is the homie. The class seems like it is going to be hard the first day. It is a hard class but Hooke is the type of teacher that wants his students to do well. If you put in the effort and communicate with him you will get a great grade in the class. He also looks like Ryan Gosling.

Hard to get at first. however; if you talk with him he is very helpful and explains it nicely. tone is hard to read in email.

Wayne is a fun & funny teacher. This class has 3 major parts A research assignment, book quizzes, & in class lecture points (through Iclicker)The research paper is difficult to understand at first but Wayne is a great help and knows you wont understand it at first. Book quizzes are weekly & the reading is homework. Apply yourself & u will do great

It is funny seeing "Didn't even use book" and also "Quizes on stuff he hasn't taught!" This is college, do your reading assignments, come prepared to class! Lectures add to the reading. As for the research project, yeah, it is tough for kids that have never had to do a real paper before. He gives you a huge manual explaining it in detail though!

Wayne is passionate about psychology and teaching. He is a brilliant man who is happy to share is knowledge with others. Wayne provides interesting and insightful lectures. His class and assignments are straight forward and doable.

Overall, a good teacher. To do well, you need to go to do a few things: 1) set aside time consistently to read the a chapter a week from the book because there is a weekly online quiz 2) go to class to get iClicker points 3)make sure to get a good group for the group project. He uses a lot of real life examples, and is knowledgable. Recommended.

His lectures were so boring. Also assigned a huge assignment that I had to re-do a few times - extremely frustrating. Even though the class was challenging, he is a really funny and sweet professor. Also a class that uses the iClicker.

Wayne Hooke is an excellent professor. If you're going to take this class, be ready for group projects! There are few tests but he is definitely a fair grader. If there are any clarifications needed, he is always there during class time. He makes the class personal by really trying to get in touch with the students through examples. He is great!!!

Iv'e taken psychology courses in the past, never really understood them, took this class, and honestly didn't even pay attention and I still comprehended everything, he had really good lectures Book work/ quizzes/ and tests are all online (minus the midterm and final) and super easy (there not timed) If you study the midterm/final is easy.

I've taken courses from 5 colleges in Oregon over the past few years and Wayne Hooke is an excellent instructor. He covers the material well and in a way that ensures we deepen our individual understanding during class. I'm guessing the people complaining don't really like psychology and/or are not intrinsically motivated to learn(aka hate school).

Great teacher! He always makes time to help you out on anything. Class is hard initially but gets much better if you get through the first part of the project. Mr. Hooke is very clear and has a good sense of humor. The class will teach you a lot if you want to learn. If you are not interested in psychology you might want to take another teacher.

Funny teacher with amazing lectures. Super fun class!

Pretty fun

Wayne is an amazing professor. He enjoys being casual, but when it comes down to it, can be professional in purposeful situations. Disregard the previous posts of too much hw, I took this class in 2018 and he assigned reading every week (majority of teachers do), a couple EASY journal entries, and a single term project (powerpoint, also fairly easy

He is such a good professor! He is super funny and is always willing to meet outside of class if you have a question and makes sure that you have a good grasp on everything that is being worked on. I give him a solid 10/10 and thats the tea sis

He is such a great professor! When you submit assignments he often gives you thorough feedback and lets you resubmit for more points. He always responds to emails and is very understanding. Not to mention hes hilarious! Ive had him for 3 different courses.

pretty easy class overall. definitely need to pay attention. youll be doing lots of research. easy grader and straight forward.

I think Wayne is hilarious. He's kind, and very willing to work with you if you have any troubles. However, sometimes he finds difficulty explaining things in a way that students can easily grasp. His focus is completely on meta-analysis, which it turns out is pretty applicable to other studies.

Wayne is an AMAZING teacher. He is hilarious and he is always there to help you with anything your finding difficult in the class. He is completely understandable and willing to adjust time lines for stuff if you talk to him. By far one of the best teachers I've had.

Wayne is a great guy. He really knows his stuff and makes lectures interesting.

I took his PSY201A class online, and overall, it was decent. I personally believe he belongs in the classroom and not online as a professor. Some of the assignments weren't explained that great on D2L, and some assignments took awhile to complete due to that. Prof. Hooke is a great guy, but take his class in person & not online if you want the best

Wayne is an overall great person. Although his lectures at first had zero correlation with what we were reading in the online textbook but I realized that Wayne wanted to teach his students more real life knowledge and skills rather than things you're going to forget anyways after the term ends. I enjoyed his lectures as he was very animated.

Took Wayne's psychology class a few terms ago and loved him. Although I don't think I'll be pursuing psychology in the future, the skills his class taught me have been extremely helpful. If you plan to go into scientific research, his class provides a strong foundation for reading scientific literature, a skill which I have found to be invaluable.

Wayne is a really cool professor. Don't let the all-caps, red bolded words that he uses on D2L scare you, he just wants to point out the deadlines, that's really it. He has a sarcastic sense of humor and honestly made the lectures so fun to listen to. There are readings but that's expected and it's not bad. If you do the work, you'll get that A.

Wayne was a good teacher to have. He does give lot of homework, but its doable. I found that I would always have to re-read his lectures just to make some more sense of them. This is a good class, can be a little hard at times BUT learned a lot. If you are used to doing the work, you will get an A in this class.

Wayne is awesome! As long as you do all of your work, you'll definitely pass this class. He responds to emails right away and gives one-on-one time whenever needed. He is also very friendly with a good sense of humor. I learned a lot about psychology as well as tools to use in real life. You can tell he wants all his students to succeed.
