Grodman is a great teacher. He has a natural love for the subject & his students. He always has a great humor about himself. He shares many of his stories of real life experiences on or not on subject. His notes are key to his exams (copy off the board). He assigns one 3-5 research paper of a topic of your choice & is a very easy grader. Fun Class1

Professor Grodman is amazing. I absolutely love being in class. His approach is a bit different: lecture based classes with information written up on the board being your only source of notes. You can read the book if you want, and I do for fun, but it's easy to get A's just by listening. I'm a story kind of person, so this class is great. Relax!:D

Definately recommend taking Professor Grodman as he's an absolutely friendly and supportive man who cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He gives real life examples so that students can understand the course more better. Professor Grodman also has lectures which are very easy and help student prepare for their tests in the semester.

Professor Grodman is an awesome professor! I've taken his psychology 1 and abnormal psychology class and they were not only easy to pass with a high grade, but super enjoyable. Professor Grodman's lectures are genuinely interesting to listen to, most of his tests are trivia, and he offers extra credit on each test. HIGHLY recommend him!

I took this professor online, and he seemed good. He provided us with information and resources to help us learn more. And when I got confused about something and sent him an email, he responded pretty quickly.

He was a really good professor. He gives a lot of extra credit opportunities, however, can get a bit “yappy” during lectures, but they were still interesting. Passing this class is very easy and you barely need a textbook. I would recommend to attend class but he is not super strict about it. If you study your notes, you will do well.

Professor Grodman is the best! His lectures were a perfect mix of engaging and informative. The class is easy, but you still learn a lot. The environment and format of his class helped me genuinely absorb the material he taught. I took his General Psychology class and now I'm registered for his Abnormal Psychology class for the spring semester.

He is the absolute best. I would take him a million times more, if he taught different subjects. Always has funny anecdotes, always smiling, extremely kind and patient. This class has lots of info, and he makes the content digestible so that's a plus. I recommend him over anyone in the psych department!!

I loved this class and am planning on taking another one of his classes next semester. His lectures are always really entertaining to listen to, and he presents the material in a very easy way to understand, plus he gives extra credit to every test. Though your grades are 4 tests. And he takes attendance through a sign in sheet.
