very cutesy guy.. into his own jokes.. mumbles to himself.. though very clear about lecture and has straighforward tests.. possibly too clear.. lectures move incredibly sloow.. good teacher though.. fun class..

Very awesome teacher! Extremely helpful with all student needs including letters of recommendation. Class was clearly formatted and text (which he wrote) was an easy and interesting read! One of the best classes and teachers ever!

Dr. Mayer is extremely clear and helpful and so cute! He is very eager to help his students and his lectures are very easy to follow/

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.

As long as you do the readings, you are pretty much guaranteed an A. The lectures weren't very helpful, but the readings covered everything you need to know in order to do well in the class. The exams are super straightforward as are the assignments. The material is both interesting and easy to grasp. I would definitely take this class again.

Professor Mayer is a great teacher. His exams are not really that difficult and you do practice quizzes. You must show up to class though because everything is written on the board. The readings are OK but a lot of it he goes over in class he usually asks 1 or 2 questions from the readings on the midterm or final. If you can, take this class

This class was about using multimedia in teaching. His use of multimedia consisted of displaying his book on the projector and spending the majority of the time scrolling through looking for the examples he wanted to show. This class was the most boring class I have ever taken & I had trouble paying attention. I do not recommend him!

Professor Mayer was great! I didn't buy the book (the book was a terrible) but I got an A in the class. Tests are pretty much all lecture-based, so make sure you go and take good notes and the test will be a piece of cake. He does one midterm and one final, the tests are multiple choice and two short answer question based on key terms/theories.

really helpful and fair! great teacher

This class was good. You have to go to all lectures and take really good notes. Don't even bother buying the book, you don't need to know anything from it. Prof is super nice and friendly, and very approachable. A little boring at times, but overall I would recommend his class.

Human Thinking and Problem Solving was great. I didn't even buy the book, much less read it. I attended EVERY lecture (You have to because he only uses a chalkboard- no powerpoint) and took good notes. He is a sweet old man. His lecture is very organized and tests are straightforward. Just know ALL of your notes. I got an A, and it wasn't that hard

Professor Mayer is awesome. Such a delite to listen to and I love him nerdy humor. He also is very up to date, which is especially important in the field of psychology. Tricky tests but good overall. Love this little guy. His wife even brough cupcakes for the WHOLE class on his b-day! Take his class! "Does that make sense?" hehe

Fun professor, but watch out for the tests and make sure you go to all the lectures.
