WORST GRADING METHOD I've ever encountered. To make an A, you'd have to make 119 on each test. Taking 45-question tests every week for 4 months is NOT worth the mental trauma caused later, when you discover the big "100" on your test really only meant "100 out of 135" leading you to make a C in the class. I highly regret taking his class.

I would recommend not taking his class. He has tests in the testing center that you have to take once a week that are difficult. He rarely covers the things on the test. You need to read the book if you want a passing grade. He likes to pick on people and telling stories instead of teaching.

Mr. Adler is a GREAT psychology teacher, and he is really passionate about what he teaches. He comes off as a hard ass, but he will help you out with anything you ask of him. His tests are difficult, however, if you re-read the textbook over what he discussed in class you will have no problem. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!!

If you read the book, you will do just fine. He tells you what he plans on covering on the exam which is more than fair. He is a very vocal conservative, and yes he gets on tangents about many controversial topics. Some people are offended by this, but I believe the more mature people will allow it to roll off their backs. Good Prof.

Great Professor! He's helpful if you REALLY try. Gives MANY opportunities for easy grades. READ the book = pass the test. He tells you what is on the tests, tests are in testing center. Be on time for classes and tests deadlines! He doesn't pick on people to be mean, he's interactive. If you rant, it's because you failed... on your own.
