Berry's class is a discussion rather than a lecture. You speak 5 times, and that's 25 points to your grade. Attendance isn't mandatory, but it's best that you go since he gives out reviews that are the exact questions for the exams. Easy class, easy A. Definitely recommend that anyone takes him if they have the chance :)

Professor Berry was great. If you don't like sarcasm then I would suggest you don't take him because he is just a ball full of sarcasm. Most of the time he is on time. It's rare that he is ever late. He gives you the review to the test a week before the test so you have time to prepare. He gives a lot of examples. Overall he was a great professor.

He goofs off half the time and the other half he talks about how he hates lecturing and powerpoint. He gives reviews which is him reading off the exam.

Berry is a probably one of the best psychology professors at FIU. He keeps the class engaged. He takes attendance by calling on someone and having them call on a number assigned to a student and if that person is absent, they get 2 points off their course grade deducted. Exams are tough, you need to know everything on the ppts. Gives reviews.

He really loves what he teaches which is admirable and it shows. Keeps class interesting and as long as you show up, participate, and do the short readings you will pass. There is one paper due at the end of the semester but it is not difficult and you have multiple opportunities and topics to choose from. I plan on taking him again.

The lectures are completely discussion based and participation is a big part of your grade so if you don't like speaking in class, he is not for you. Unfortunately, the material is kind of tricky and you won't learn any of it in class. Quizzes and final are based on the readings so you have to stay up to date and study. Not boring, worth waking up
