Awesome teacher, awesome class! Loved going to this class, never dreaded it! If you go and do the work and put in at least a little bit of studying it is an easy A. Dr. Call has a private practice and although he doesnt' talk about specific patients and their issues he does bring some interesting application storied to class. An A++ teacher!

I will be totally honest. I like the guy, He's pretty nice and fairly amusing. But I leave class feeling like I learned nothing--and I'm a pretty good student-- He uses class time to talk..a lot. And when he's not talking, he's showing video clips. It seems like he's not even trying, because he knows that the PIRC will teach us what he doesn't.

Very easy class as long as you do the study guides and look over it before tests. The same questions on the study guide are on the test. So, he forces you to actually study and learn outside his amazing lectures. If you put in the work (2-3hours) before each of his five tests it's an easy A.

While the tests may be 80 questions, he gives you a study packet that lists exactly what the test will be. His lectures are interesting and he's a smart and fun guy. He isn't SUPER strict about attendance as long as you participate and ask questions when you're there, but he does drop people that don't show up.

Dr. Call was an amazing teacher. His lectures are interesting because he adds in his experiences and stories from his a psychology career. The test are the same as the study guide but the questions are mixed around. As long as you do the study guide and study it you should get A's on the test.

I failed all the tests but the last 2, I did all the homework assigned and did the extra credit and passed with a B. You really have to not try at all to fail this class. You do have to read the textbook for the study guide but the study guide is identical to the test. The extra credit is extremely easy and helps your grade tremendously.

There's nothing tricky he just wants you to follow basic instuctions. lectures are broken up well with funny stories.

The problem with a majority of 101 classes is that there is so much information that it can feel like you didn't end up really learning anything. This is definitely one of those classes. However, Dr. Call provided a study key exam -- same questions, in the same order. As long as you do everything he asks, you can pass with a decent grade.

Probably the best psychology 101 teacher. Gives study guides which are the exact same as the tests, so if you answer the questions on the packets and memorize the answers, you will get an A on the tests and even better in the class. There are 5 tests in total. He offers a whole lot of extra credit. You get 3 weeks to do the psychsim which are EASY.

I took intro to psych and abnormal psych with Call. To be honest, I was never captivated in the 101 class (mainly because I was starting my psych journey) but abnormal was my favorite and he is so sweet. I swear his rating should be 5/5. The study guides are a duplicate of the exam and he goes over answers that you may not be sure of in class.
