PSY124 . Mayer R E 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

For anyone with attention deficits don't take this course. He doesn't post slides before the class and quiz questions are extremely specific with 1 minute to finish each question in class. Lectures are long and boring. A lot of quiz questions come from very specific studies in the reading and he assigns 2 50 page chapters per week.

PSY124 . Mayer R E 2 Years Ago

I'm shocked people rated him so highly. Im surprised someone who teaches educational psychology can't teach... since he has all the info there. Lectures are painfully long and boring, they feel like an eternity. The slides suck and he changes them so fast, goes on tangents at least 4 times per lecture ab irrelevance, like eugenics. don't do it!

You can really tell Professor Mayer cares about teaching and the success of his students. So long as you do the work and follow instructions, you should get an A in the class

By far one of the most kind hearted and inspirational professors I had. When assigned to do his project assignments, he provides great feedback and made me better at writing psychological research. His goal in his class is to make you actually learn which he does brilliantly. His class was very fun and I highly recommend taking him! :)
