Funny, easy to work with but not an easy A. Terrible taste in football. Welcomes participation. Understands that students work and have lives. Makes dates flexable
Conservative, but funny. Essay tests every single week. Grades pretty fair, but if you don't think you should have not gotten that grade you can always argue to get your way. You can get your way 90% of the time.
Can bribe with cookies
I just completed his class, very strange. It was good to have the chapter tests once a week. very outspoken and humorious. great class to take to wake you up in the morning.
He is HILARIOUS but lacks in the teaching department. He breezes through the chapters without actually taching the appropriate material. Overall an ok teacher.
I didn't appreciate his sense of humor. I found it to be annoying. He was a nice guy at times, but his teaching skills were not up to par. Did not explain material well.
i liked dr. adler, he says what is on his mind, and i guess that offends people. He is a great teacher, with a lot of knowledge. plus.....he FREAKING HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!
This guy is really funny in class, but you could skip all the classes, read the book, and still make an "A". He just rambles a lot. If you take the class, read the book for tests, but don't count on him to explain it.
he's super funny and his class was really easy...he's fun to talk to because of his caustic humor (which i personally adore)..if you really listen he'll give test clues, so pay attention sometimes!

Those who are bothered by his language need to grow and figure out that this is college and not forth grade. Makes what he wants very clear and discussions are very interesting. A very good professor
First impression on first day of class: Terror, boring and psycho!!! I proved myself wrong- what a superb Professor and teaches us to face reality. Felt comfy during discussion and cared for everyone. If you don't like the way he teaches class, too bad, open your mind and time to wake up in reality!
Great teacher! Okay guys, come on...he doesn't lecture straight from the book a lot, but if you listen to him, what he is saying does have to do with the material. He just presents it in a different way. This is college guys...he doesn't need to read to you anymore!
Very funny!! Great Teacher
Dr. Adler is funny. You either love him or hate him but I find most love him. I will take as many classes as I can where he is the professor.
Completely unique prof and easy to understand and do well in the class when you get used to his teaching methods. Hilarious guy but hes also smart and knows his stuff.
i took him for wintermester. hes intense but an awesome teacher. im taking him again for life span. hes hysterical too. funny, skinny, old man
He's a great man, very interesting :-)
you have to take 15 tests of the semester... NO THANK YOU
He is the funniest teacher ive ever had. He brought intersting views to whats going on today. But if you need help he will help you. And he does talk about Psyc. for about 15 -20 min of the class time. Then the rest his about his views!! Good Teacher
He is not a good teacher, you can find a better teacher that doesn't give out 15 test over the semester... come on get real with your self... do you really have time to take that many test over the course of the semester and do other things like work and other class work... NO!
adler is so cool. yeah, we had 15 tests over the semester, but they were chapter tests-if you read the chapter, you'd do well on the tests, they're only multiple choice questions. adler is so funny, i love his jokes and his humor, and i would prefer 15 chapter tests over midterms and final exams anytime.
awsome teacher....funny...he's very crude though more fun to attend his lecture that to go to any movie...he's pretty cool
No Comments
very interesting class. alot of work, but you definitley learn alot.
This man is amazing and you all know it.
Adler likes to make alot of jokes..some are pretty funny..some not. Other than that, he is just an OK teacher. One test every week and he doesn't cover the material very well. You WILL have to study and read alot to do well on tests.

Adler was one of the funniest teachers ive ever had. Writing assingments were super easy. GREAT TEACHER!!!
Wonderful man, I really enjoyed this guy
No Comments
Not student friendly. Total disregard for authority. Disrespectful. Crude.
mr. adler is totally awesome! he makes my day interesting... for the most part. <3 the class
This teacher is truly exciting. He brings the class to life. I'm a psych major but its teachers like him that get you to want to major in psych. Not only is he hilarious but he is a phenomenal teacher and he actually cares for each individual student. Unlike most professors he goes out of his way to make sure each student is doing well.
One of the best professors I have ever had! He is so funnny and you actually want to come to class!! He is the Best!!!!
dude, he's the best ever.
Greatest teacher of all time will work with you if needed if you cant stand foul language dont take his class only one rule dont get in his personal space. Bottom line most ive ever learned in one class, always keeps it intresting.
Mr. Adler has a great sense of humor but also is able to scare the class. He goes over the normal to help people. Understands the needs and other responsibility people may have.
Awesome teacher. So funny. Great sense of humor. Connects with his students and gets to know each student. Easy A.
Great and funny teacher. Only problem is he does not make the material very clear, but it is not hard to pass the class.
AWESOME! This guy is SO funny and he is always willing to help you out with anything you may not understand.
Would not recommend at all.
Always something interesting to learn in class.
Great teacher!

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.

HORRIBLE GRADING METHOD EVER! yeah we had to take one test every week and you ended up by getting sick of taking tests at the end of the semester! i really dont recomend this prof.. my 3.8 GPA dropped bc i had a C in this class.. and also.. he didnt cover all the materials at all.. i have to read the whole book by my own to do well in the tests..
I LOVE THIS TEACHER!!!!! he is a little strange but he is hilarious!!!! the only bad part about the class is that there is a test at the end of each week...but STILL WORTH IT!!!!

He was so funny! We had to take 15 essay tests in 5 weeks, but it was a test per chapter so it was pretty easy. He can be kind of rude, but he does not mean any harm. If you cannot take jokes, you should not take his class because he likes to pick on his students.
Worst teacher ever. I'm super liberal, but I found him crude, disrespectful, and foulmouthed. Doesn't teach and requires you to basically memorize a chapter per week for an essay test. I got an A, but my other grades suffered some because of all of his testing requirements.
I hated this teacher. He's foulmouthed, unclear, and if you're not one of his favorites (which he picks) then you're subject to his unfavorable comments and insults. His lectures don't really cover anything relivent. I really didn't like him and was VERY happy when class was over.
Funny guy, enjoyable class.
My absolute favorite teacher ever! Though be warned, he has HUGE favorites in every class and I just lucked out by being one of them. you will be required to read the entire textbook but come on ya'll, this is college....suck it up and actually learn something for once. there is a test every wk but 4 VERY easy one pg papers. its not that bad ppl
Dr. Adler is a very interesting man, however he had a habit of picking favorites. I never took notes from his lecture because majority of the questions on the test were from the book. Test wern't that bad just as long as you read the textbook, but it wasn't fun taking fifteen tests in five weeks of summer school.
Dr. Adler goes over notes in class but they are not very helpfull for the tests. YOU MUST READ THE BOOK TOO! You have a test EVERY WEEK over a chapter of information. I made a B in the class and I worked my ass off to get it. If you don't like cussing and rude comments dont take him. His class is not a blow off one. Pay attention and read the book
If he wasn't so rude and more professional he would be a great teacher. I was one of his cross-breeds (favorite on Monday and not on Wednedsay). I had a "B" average in the class two months in the semester and dropped because of his rude comments towards me. Barbar Lusk online is definitely a better option for Lifespan.
he constantly uses foul language and is crude. but it's hilarious. he gives 1 test a week so that we don't have to cram 5 chapters per test. he's not the easiest but his class is enjoyable.
Yes, he is pretty rude, but not only that. You will have test EVERY single week and it's hard as hell. He wastes time in class talking about nothing, so you are on your own when it comes to test. Have to read the book 24/7. I've got an A, but I had to bust the hell out of my a** to get it. Love psychology, but didn't have a good expierence with him
I absolutely loved taking this class with Dr. Adler. He has a wonderful sense of humor, and made it interesting. You will need to study your book, but he does go over everything in class. Pay attention, show up for class and study and you will do fine. Highly recomend!
Dr. Adler is one of the best professors ever! If you take his class you had better be prepared to work for your grade, but trust me when you get that A it is so much better since you know you have worked for it! The weekly tests drove me into the ground, but I am still here and I can say "I survived Alder!" I am even taking him again in the Spring!
eustace from courage the cowardly dog
AWESOME!
5 week summer class, 3 tests a week. You MUST read your book and you MUST attend class everyday for a good grade. Dr. Adler is intelligent and opinionated. He will challenge your opinions. If you have a good reasoning, he will respect you, if not agree. Work hard and you can get a good grade. I learned lots and enjoyed him. Great teacher!
15 test, 16 chapters, 15 weeks in a semester. It may not have been so difficult if he didn't just sit at the front of the class the whole time mumbling in a barely audible voice, not to mention get off topic every couple of minutes. If you like to learn from a teacher, and not just a text book, don't take his class.
How can you resist his free demonstations of neurotic personality types? He is Freud, Jung, Erikson,May, Kelly and Maslow all rolled up into one professor! Everyone in Texas should have the experience of taking a great Jewish psyche professor and broaden their horizens! A fantasic experience in the conscious realm! Expect for 15 exams. Ouch!
terrible
I thorougly enjoyed his Life Span Psych class. I have to disagree w/the student that said the tests were impossible. The tests were not easy, but this is college and we shouldn't expect them to be. I found his "rantings" to be hilarious and looked forward to class every week. I wish he had taught more of my classes at Quad C!
He is so so funny..I always wanted to go to his class. He can be offensive or rude to some people but it was fine to me. We had to write one test per wek and they were all essay question. You should be fine if you study. I got an A in his class so i think it was a very good one..I learned a lot from that class.
Adler is a good professor to take psych with. He does rant a lot about random things, but it's entertaining to say the least. 15 exams, or one per week, but as long as you read they are not hard at all. Show up and do the work and you will pass, but you definitely can't coast in this class.
I had Adler for General Psychology during summer 1. At first it was alright, but the daily tests really built up. That would have been bearable if it weren't for how rude he was! Even just seeing him in the hallway, he was so rude. Spare yourself and take this class from anyone but adler.
Weekly tests are annoying, but if you read the book you'll be fine. He's pretty lenient about test-taking deadlines, too, as long as you don't abuse it and get everything done by the end of the semester. This class requires a lot of self-discipline, but his tests aren't very hard or nitpicky.
His class, while difficult and fast-paced, is incredibly rewarding. The more work you put into the class, the more lenient and helpful Dr. Adler is, which is what I enjoy most about him. He knows his stuff, and is always willing to point to towards outside information if you're interested.
Love him!!
Dr Adler's class isn't for wimps or people looking for an easy A. Read the book, study, and know your stuff and you'll be fine. He's extremely intelligent, funny and really does care about his students, despite what he says! Dr Adler is one of my best profs- wish I had more classes w/ him!
Professor Adler to me is a great profesor like some of the othe raters said thid class is not for whimps or whinners, i got a C+ but because it was my first class after a few years of not attending college but im planning to take it again with him because i learn a lot from him, even do he might be rude and very raw some kids need that.
Overall, he is a pretty fun guy. He is rude at times and has a crude sense of humor. Instead of having midterm tests he has a chapter test each week which is good if you have a bad test and need a few others to boost your grade. however, it is a lot to keep up with every week. beside the tests, there are a few internet assignments. i'd tak him over
GREAT TEACHER, LOVED HIS CLASS!! While some ppl find him hard to handle, I NEVER had a problem with him. I would definitely take another class w/him. Weekly essay tests, but gives students several days to get into the testing center. I had him several years ago, & learned a lot from his class. Genuinely cares about his students that make an EFFORT
This professor style of teaching is good, but comparing wtih other teachers of PSYC 2301 he is very hard. So, don't take his classes if you want to maintain 4.00 GPA.
Very amazing lecturer. He is a complete genius and definitely speaks his mind. I really enjoy his class and all his absolutely hilarious remarks about politics.
Test VERY VERY Crazy hard. Take him if you plan on majoring in psychology..if not DONT..unless you want to study 24/7 for the rest of the semester! Just a warning
His lectures are interesting and he is hilarious. He is demanding too. He gives test every week. There are 4 essays. Not hare, only 2 pages required. He is the most wackiste professor I've ever seen.
He teaches for the tests at the end of the week. He becomes quite lenient on the deadline for tests, some students would take them many days after the deadlines. He is quite understanding when it comes to turning in things, or missing dates. The only problem with the class is that he does like to ramble on about things, which was nice at times.
funny guy, little crude, but eh, we're all grown ups... i actually liked the weekly test thing b/c it made midterm and final time much easier not having to cram for anything. plus he's pretty lenient.
Dr. Adler is amazing, his students are VERY fortunate. He really cares and as long as you read the book and study guide - the tests won't be so difficult. His lectures are fabulous! He is crazy funny and does curse a bit, but that's just part of his charm! I will take him again for Life Span Psych. Weekly tests, but NO midterm or final!!! YEA!
He's really cool about assignments. You'd have to be way past the due date before he'd take off any points. He is very knowledgable about psychology.
Hard Teacher hard problems on test and goofs around in his class room. Doesnt talk much about the material
I just completed my second of Dr. Adler's courses. He is a GREAT professor! He may get distracted in class and discuss irrelevant things but at least he keeps the class interesting! You definitely need to study but he is always there when you need to talk about anything. I love his courses and plan on taking a third!
i took his summer class, so there were 3 test a week and a paper due once a week. so in the regard it was a hard class... and you do have to read the book. But he is a great teacher and i enjoyed everyday in the class!
I took Mr adler during the summer he is a really nice guy however he does work you like a slave. we had a total of 3 test a week, and they were not what u call easy. howeever if u are good at rememberizing things u will do good. u must read your texbook and go over his handouts.
Dr.Adler is fair. YOU HAVE TO READ TO BOOK TO PASS. If you love Psycholoy, then you'll do fine. His lectures are all over the place however. You have 15 exams total (Taking one per week over one chapter at a time *50 question*). And 4 internet assignments (1-2 pg paper). He is entertaining in class, but I wish his lectures were more throughout.
He knows his stuff, but he is so rude that sometimes it's shocking. The first day of class he told us a story about how some high school girls charged with harassment towards another student should have been dragged through the streets. Crazy teacher. He makes a point to get off topic in class & he rarely broaches the subject of psych.
3 tests a week? wow. i took him in the spring, and we had a test a week, but 3 tests a week? and a paper due each week? im sorry, but thats insane. you are also insane if you do not think that is crazy. well i never!
For fall, 4 internet assignments (should be easy), and FIFTEEN EXAMS+Final ... once a week. LOTS of reading. He lectures over the basic concepts, digresses towards football, his old days, and pretty much you MUST READ because there are also many hidden stuff he DOESNT cover!! Exams 50 MC questions a,b,c,d...and tests are taken in testing center.
he's kind of weird, which can be funny during lectures, and keeps things interesting. but i wouldn't take him again, because i think an exam a week is just too much, and his exams are extremely hard. i could read and understand the whole chapter and still get a 68. I wouldn't recommend taking him.
Don't even think about taking this lame excuse for a professor. If you laugh at his lame jokes and manipulate his little ego, then you will get an A. Attend all classes. Doesn't teach material and tests are really hard essay questions with subjective answers. Thinks he is Jay Lenno, but isn't.
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!!!!
I agree with some of the comments he talks to much and will tell stories which are not related to the subject at all..and not at all "considerate" espc. for International students..I won't recommend 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.
Great professor!All tests are multiple choice. The subject is not easy. To get a passing grade you have to read the book. Dr. Adler has a great sense of humor so he makes the class very fun.Highly recommend taking this class with him.
I DO NOT recommend ANYONE take him. His test are extremely hard even if you study your butt off. Short essay questions and all tests are given in the classroom.You have to write word for word or he will take off alot. You have to kiss ass in order to get an "A", i did not, so I got a "C". I tried really hard too. DO NOT TAKE THIS MAN!!!!!!!!
Nice if he likes u. Read ur book, even then its more of an applied PSYC. He has a sense of humor and can be very cynical and critical. You have to be able to take criticism. Attendance isnt mandatory but seems to affect your grade. Multiple internet assignments, papers, I completed them all w/good pts and still got a D. Class is on point system.
Awesome prof. He can be kind of sarcasitic...But he is hilarious. Speak up in class and he will def like you. I missed lots of class but I spoke up and he gave me an A. His papers were so easy. Tests are kind of difficult, use the student help site...the tests are basically the same as the practices exams.
do NOT miss his class unless you are dying.he will yell at you and possibly embarass you, but he is a very cool teacher other wise. you spend most of the class talking about current events and no work really except an opinion paragraph due every class about the topic he gives you and the tests are comprehensive.READ EACH CHAPTER TO DO WELL!!
Dr. Adler is an awesome professor. He has excellent sense of humor and his classes are very entertaining.He is not an easy teacher because the subject is hard.People who do not like him must be unable to learn. He is very clear and all his exams come from his outlines.He never puts any suprise or tricky questions on his exams.
very very nice guy. easy to get along with. however tests are very very hard and does not follow the study guides.
I'm a very hardworking student who used to have a 4.0 before his class. I worked extremely hard to maintain this GPA (which I had for 3 semesters) and still received a C for the course. Two tests in the same week every two weeks and they are extremely difficult. Grading system makes it impossible for you to get an A. Take someone easier if you can.
Anyone who says Adler is hard is just lazy. The questions on his tests are comprehensive, but all come directly from the book. If you read the chapters you will have no problem making an A. There are just four homework assignments and he gives everyone all the points just for doing it. You don't even need to go to class to get an A.
Not a really good teacher. He tells bad jokes in class and his notes are so useless that it's not even funny. His tests are really hard and his lectures in class aren't helpful at all. He's very unprofessional when it comes to helping students. He doesn't help you at all.
He is great. He's very hard but great. If you want a easy A, don't take him. He's good for those who want to learn. You have to read the book and keep up with him. He talks alot in class! I learned so much from him and loved him. took 2 of his classes. he knows what he's talking about! you have to attend every class.
Dr. Adler is a great teacher.Very intersting.I took 3 classes with him and got all high A's.His tests are exteremely easy if you read the book and attend all classes.People who complain about him are just lazy or do not understand what he is talking about.Psychology is not an easy subject.Take Adler and you will not regret it!
Dr. Adler seemed pretty crazy the first day, but once you get to know him he's fun and very nice. As others have said, he does talk a LOT in class! Makes it very easy to get good grades as long as you read the book and pay attention. I had no background in Psychology and made A's all the way through. Good teacher - I definitely recommend him!
Good teacher and cares what he is teaching. You will pass if you read the chapters, listen in class, and turn in all of the assignments. You do have to study a little more if you want to make an A. Teacher made class exciting and isn't afraid to say anything. Easy to talk to and get along with. Recommended.
For this professor's age, he is really pushing on to be able to lecture. With that said, YOU NEED THE BOOK, IT IS YOUR ONLY SAVIOR IN HIS CLASS. READ, READ THE BOOK every question is in from the book.
YOU NEED THE BOOK, IT IS YOUR ONLY SAVIOR IN HIS CLASS. READ, READ THE BOOK every question is in from the book.
he can be harsh, but really he just says what everyone else is thinking. you have to show up to class, other wise forget it. just listen to his lecutres and use the study guids and study. he goes over the tests practically in class lecutres. i never opened my book once, it was a waist of money to buy.
Dr. Adler let a couple of females in class make up test they missed. I was in the VA Hospital (I'm a veteran) and when I returned I went to ask him about making up 3 tests I had missed during my hospital stay and he told me "He doesn't give a sh** about w/e my excuse is, doesn't give a d**n, and told me to b***h all I want."
Very entertaining. Homework and tests seem overwhelming initially but really are not that bad. The hw is more about seeing you have a general understanding of the subject matter and don't take as much work as it may seem. Tests become more predictable as you figure him out. My concern is how little direction is givin to the class...
people are CRAZY if they think he's hard. read the chapters once and you're set to make an A. there really isn't much to point to showing up to class except for test days because he just repeats the main points of the book. if you can't do well in his class, you're doomed if you plan to go on to a four year school.
Dr. Adler is very passionate about Psychology. He does not like students who consistently miss class or do not do their work. YOU MUST BUY THE BOOK or else the class is impossible! All exams are taken online at your convenience... very helpful. Makes Psychology extremely interesting!
I had him for psychology. Not a very nice teacher. His teaching style is testing. There are tests at every class meeting and his lectures and his notes are useless. He talks about the most irrelevant things and wastes too much class time. I wouldn't recommend him.
Dr. Adler was one of the greatest professors I have ever had! He is passionate and non-traditional, which makes his class that much more interesting. People who have a problem with him are the ones who have NO sense of humor and take school way too serious. He is always smiling and cares about his students...in a very sarcastic way
Best professor I've had so far. Very entertaining, makes the class very fun and even lets you out early almost daily. Book is a necessity. Weekly exams are online and if you read the book they're easy.
He is the best, most entertaining professor you will ever take. he is so awesome and a SUPER easy grader. there are 4 essays. you'll get a perfect score on all of them as long as you have an opinion on the topics, and you show it. he DOES NOT REQUIRE WORK CITED pages. his tests are online and the questions go in order in the textbook. very easy A
HE is rude and tells lame jokes. He wastes time on calling people out about everything and it always throws me off of his lectures. His lectures are good and tests are difficult. MUST READ THE BOOK.
The worst ever, you better get your book out and study and be grateful that the test are online. He rambles the entire time in class and is extremely rude and condescending to students. He contradicts the book constantly. DO NOT TAKE HIM, HE IS THE WORST.
Easy tests, all online. Online four essays. Easy grader. Show up to class or he will lecture you, unless you have a good reason. But otherwise, easy and NEVER use the book.
I loved Dr. Adler's Psych class. He kept what could have been a very bland intro class fairly entertaining. Very sarcastic sense of humor, but I didn't mind. Make sure you attend class regularly as he randomly takes attendance & read the chapters you'll be fine. All exams are online so you can take them on your own time. EASY A!
Very easy tests, easy paper grader. However, EXTREMELY conservative. Often gets off track from Psychology to talk about the importance of "our female eggs". Will immediately tear down any opinion that does not correlate to his own beliefs.
Very funny and youre never bored in class.
Take him! His class was super easy. He's really opinionated and stubborn, but you just have to tune that out and accept that he's an old man set in his ways. Even if he doesn't' agree with you, he's not going to hold your opinion against you.
He is HILARIOUS! Not your typical old fart. he makes his class enjoyable although, you NEED to buy a book brand new for the class because without everything that comes with the book it will be impossible to make a good grade in the class.He gives essays that if you turn in you'll get an A on. Although,your online tests are hard.
HILARIOUS, outgoing,amazing class. he makes psychology so interesting. he goes WAY off topic, but finds his way back. he kiinda talks to himself. he's just old and funny and somehow you memorize everything without even trying. he's that great a teacher. everyone who takes him him! his class is the only one i didn't skip:p
Quizes are all online so they are super easy. But as for the professor himself, he is a real jerk. I had a family member get deathly ill while I had class with him and he just said that he was sorry but if I missed class, he would have to deduct a letter grade. Well, I had to miss class and guess what... he gave me a B for the class.
Great teacher, great sense of humor but don't be late to class, he'll call you out. He almost got me thinking about changing my major. He is truly a gem and a remarkable teacher for a community college. He brings lots of practical knowledge about psychology since it's what he's done all his life. His biggest problem? He's an Eagles fan.
Pretty easy class, all tests are online. I never used the book, just went off notes I took in class. He seems to miss over some information for questions that is on the tests. His jokes are funny, and he loves to call out on people. Class never really started until 15 minutes after it was supposed to and ended 10-15 minutes early. Easy class.
He is a chauvainist. He is strongly opinionated and very crass. I felt bad for some of the students bc he really does single you out and can be very mean. If you can get past the rude old man attitude the class is easy.
mostly check your notes and handouts because thats what the tests online will be over. He's extremely funny & has some crazy points about the world. Try not to miss any of his classes he hates that.
His sense of humor is just absolutely amazing. His tests are online which allow you to use the book.. he makes everyone get into groups and present a chapter of the book (which is NOT tedious at all). Warning: he does have a final exam discussion thing if you SKIP more than 3 times..
All of the tests are done online, which is convenient. If you read the chapters they are pretty easy. He is a little unorganized with his lectures, and he wastes too much class time making jokes or talking about things that are not relevant. He always takes attendance. Class almost always ends early 10-15 minutes.
Adler is awesome. Textbook is required, but not for class, only for independent reading which YOU MUST DO! My only complaint is that he ALWAYS reopens online tests for the ones who never complete their assignments. Good to know you can count on, but seems unfair to those who do their work. Overall, awesome and EASY ... and BTW ... he LOVES cookies!
Proffessor Addler is a great teacher. He genuinely cares about your grade. He will explain things if you are not sure.
I really love Professor Adler. He is very interesting and funny! Don't miss more than 5 to 6 classes or he WILL fail you. There is a online test each week over the notes (and everything is in the textbook). If you do the work, you'll do fine! Don't be late though, he tends to call people out on that! Wonderful professor!
Adlers class is easy IF you just show up to class! Missing multiple classes will fail you. otherwise weekly online exams are easy. all answers are on google. I never opened my textbook so dont waste your money. he is funny and keeps you awake. dismisses class about 45 minutes early. I highly reccomend him for psyc!
Professor Adler is very funny and makes his class interesting. All tests are online and the essays are basically completion grades. It's very easy to do well in this class. If you need to take this course I highly recommend Adler.
This was my favorite class at Collin so far. He is very funny so it made the lectures easy to pay attention to. Attendance isn't mandatory but I liked going just to hear his lectures. All of his tests are online and there are 4 short opinion papers. But don't worry, he is an easy grader. I highly recommend taking Adler for psychology!
This teacher is hilariously cynical. If you read the book and come to class, you should be fine.
Adler was a great, funny professor. He has some great stories to share! Sadly, the weekly exams were tiresome. It's tough to get by without a textbook in this class, and we were told that we didn't "need" it. It's possible to pass without it, though.
One of the most funny, caring professors I've ever come across. Outwardly, seems to be cynical, but he does have a beautiful heart. Exams are given from home, but, don't think that googling will help you. To get a 90% you've got to read the chapter! All the best.
He uses top much time in jokes not related to class. Read all chapters and hope for a good grade. He grades hard. Singles out and it's rude to some students.Class ends early. Some teachers love too teach their subject and treat students with respect. This professor is Not one of them avoid.
You WILL need the textbook even though he says it's not required. Be prepared for 25% or more of class time to be spent on unfunny attempts at jokes, wisecracks, and rude/snide remarks. It's possible to get an A, but you'll have to teach yourself almost everything. Do yourself a favor and choose a different professor or take the class online.
This class was easy. All exams are online. There is an exam every week, but they are very easy. You do need the book. Easy grader, makes lots jokes. Made an A.
If you can't handle dry humor with a sarcastic attitude don't bother taking this class. It was by far my favorite class. Took him for both gen psych and life span. Show up to class, study the book, and do your exams and you'll pass easily. His class truly is a cake walk. Favorite professor yet.
GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR, EXTREMELY FUNNY BUT IF YOU CANT TAKE JOKES DONT EVEN BOTHER!! GREAT PROFESSOR WHO AT FIRST SEEMS TOUGH BUT ITS REALLY EASY A!! ANYBODY WHO WINES JUST DIDNT MAKE ANY EFFORT
Exams are online.test are easy,made an A easily. Not a hard grader. Make sure you have the book and attendance is mandatory. If you want to keep your GPA,take him!
Avoid this class. Take other professors that are professional and really teach the subject. If you want to listen to sarcastic jokes watch Connan or Jay Leno (professionals) Class ends early all the time. Read all the chapters and you will do fine. Not an easy grader.Skip his class.There are plenty of great profs for this class.
HORRIBLE TEACHER! DO NOT TAKE! he jokes though the whole class. Will say you don't need the textbook but you will because you have to teach yourself everything. He doesn't go over anything that is on the weekly test.
Great Professor! Easy Á's!
HORRIBLE PROFESSOR, DOES NOT TEACH MUCH, YOU MUST TEACH YOURSELF WITH YOU BOOK. TEST EVERY WEEK, SUPER DUPER HARD EVEN WITH THE BOOK. YOU BARELY HEAR HIM WHEN HE TALKS. DON'T TAKE HIM!!!!
Honestly, Adler was a great psychology teacher!! He did seem to go off topic alot of times and he makes pointless jokes or "dry humor," but this class was an easy A+. He tells you not to buy the text book but I definitely WOULD!! He never gave homework and rarely assignments! I recommend him
He is very fun and has a great sense of humor, interacts with the class room. The majority of the assignments are online! You can use your textbook and its a easy A. He has 4 internet assignments that are simple. He gives you hand outs and in class you go over them. I would recommend him for core class people!
Psychology was my absolute favorite class this semester because of Prof. Adler! He did an excellent job in covering the topics and I've truly learned a lot more than ever expected. Each week there is an online exam with 50 questions. They are difficult but just take notes in class! There is also 4 internet assignments which are short papers, easy!
Dr. Adler has a passion for psychology and expects his students to learn. His jokes are funny but if you're easily offended don't take his class. There were weekly exams, but they are all done online. Easy A!
Jokes around but still takes time to teach everything. Very helpful, always available for the students, answers emails real fast too. Exams are online and you usually have 2 weeks to 1 month to write a paper. Attendance is mandatory, although he does not take it the last three weeks. A great teacher, very interesting.
FAVORITE PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER TAKEN!!!
Great Pro if you come to class and do your readings. Essays are interesting and his grading is fair. He has a bit of an eclectic personality that some loathe but overall his lectures are solid.
