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.

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! :)

Grade is based off in class pop quizzes ( 2-4 questions), small projects (4 total), and chapter reviews. All of which are super easy. He gave us a chance to redeem any missed quiz questions in the last lecture. This class is an easy A and the prof loves what he does and puts an emphasis on education rather than grades.
