He is a good professor that is passionate and knowledgeable about the topics he is teaching. He wrote the textbook, after all. Very insightful and reasonable towards all students' circumstances.

i clicker quizzes every class in place of midterm and final. does not post lecture slides until the following week. content and lectures are boring and repetitive. no offense to prof mayer himself; he's a kind person.

Being in this class was a slow painful death. Never thought a class focused on teaching/learning would have a professor who couldn't teach or make the material somewhat interesting. Buy the books if you have insomnia because reading the first page will make you fall asleep so fast. Boring class, stay away, I had more fun with physics and ochem.

Really great class if you are interested in education. There is a ton of reading but it is basically the same as what's presented in the lecture so doesn't make the class more complicated. Tests are super fair and your grade also consists of pretty straight forward projects and in class quizzes. Overall great class and super nice man.

I loved this class! The material is straightforward. You are graded on four projects, a weekly chapter review, and in-class "pop" quizzes. They are not too difficult. He totally wants you to succeed, and I love that he designed the class to reflect how we best learn, which is literally what he is teaching about. I am so glad I took this course!

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.
