Even though I went to most lectures I feel like I learned a lot more from the book than lecture. He's clearly a smart guy but lectures just weren't super engaging or organized (I had it at 8 a.m. which didn't help). Start reading early so you're not left reading an entire textbook the night before the test. Grade based only on midterm and final
Loved this class. Of course, Im an adult who attended and studied. You wont be able to skate by.
Revlin is a nice guy. He is smart and knowledgable in psych. He helps you in office hours if you go. However, his tests are ridiculous. He takes concepts from outside of the classroom and expects students to study things that are not taught in class. If you can stay away, I would.
Very challenging class... only two grades are the midterm and final and they were extremely hard. The entire class is based off of the book that he wrote. Revlin is a very smart and respectable guy but it was just really hard to keep up with all the reading and I felt the tests were veeeery hard! Start reading early and go to office hours!!!
Revlin is a nice guy and honestly an entertaining lecturer. HOWEVER, this class is 100% focused on the textbook content and he expects you to read from cover to cover (even if he doesn't lecture on the chapter). Spend 98% of your time on the readings. There is a curve and he gives up to a 75% a B- grade. Avoid if possible.
This class was very challenging. Be prepared for in depth reading, as Prof. Revlin wrote the book and expects you to know an extensive amount of the content. You likely would be able to pass without attending lecture, but I wouldnt advise it.
