Great professor who is really passionate about what she does! Read and study the lecture slides and you will do great on the exams. If you need extra help, go to office hours, she's super friendly!
Smart, nice woman! be fair here
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!
This class is very easy and simple. Mayer is very organized so it's very easy to follow along and take good notes. He makes the class enjoyable with his cute little jokes. That's not all there is to him though; he's one of the top educational psychologist in the WORLD. This guy knows what he's talking about. Go to class and take good notes :)
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
He really is a sweet old man...almost "jolly" but not quite cuz he's not fat. Hehe. ANYWAY,you have to go to lectures cuz he's old school and a little behind on technology (not a believer of websites or powerpoints) If you don't wanna buy the book, you better sit in front and take kick a s s notes, cuz the tests are based on lectures.
I think she's often midunderstood. She looks strict and mean but she's actually not bad. She has a slightly funky accent but nothing unbearable--except when she starts to talk fast. Midterms are ridiculously EASY(It's word for word from the lecture). If you're dedicated, you'll be great!
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.
His lectures are SUPER organized, but go to class because he lectures with a chalkboard and has no website. He's a sweet, nerdy old man. People who say his tests are tricky might be a little slow, because his tests are straightforward, and they test your knowledge, so know the material. I wouldn't worry too much about the book, but skim it!
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
um this class seems so easy but i did all the readings and went to prac all the lectures and got a b+ when i knew everything cuz of stupid tricky test questions. im talking those lame ones like a, a and b, a and c, all of the above, none of the above...shady.
Fun professor, but watch out for the tests and make sure you go to all the lectures.
Dick is a good guy. His classes are also very informative. That being said he is completely inflexible. He fully expects students to get everything they need from the class, which is possible, except I have several learning disabilities and I found Dick to be totally insensitive to this.
dr hegarty is very nice and helpful, but she is boring and a bit unclear in class.
Do no - I repeat, DO NOT take a class with this professor. Yes, she's very nice and all, but I was on the brink of stabbing my eye out with a pen just to get some stimulation!!! Oh yeah, the final is cumulative, material in her notes is unnecessary, and did I mention she's boring?!?! Stay away!!!
These ratings for her are off. The midterm and finals are pulled right off of the slides; she's hard to follow but you don't need to go to class because all of her stuff is online. The material is easy, not hard to understand. Easy Easy Easy.
BORING, lectures are dull and non-important, all slides are posted on web, hard to figure out material on tests, no curve, not worth the time
hard to follow. makes material that could be cool really boring. tests suck. no curve. final is cumulative. would not recommend.
He was rather boring most of the time, but he tells nerdy jokes to spice things up. Plus he's super nice and he repeats himself several times to make sure everything is clear.
Dont take this class. IF you do, do it pass not pass. THis teacher is so boring and hard to follow. If you take the class, dont go and just print out the power points...
dont take this class. she is very unclear and her tests are awful. no curve.
