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.

Revlin is light and funny - gives great lectures - you will really enjoy them. By far the most interesting and engaging psy lecture class I have taken.

One of the top minds in the field. Class was a bit tough, BUT YOU ARE IN COLLEGE. It's not high school. Stop acting like babies. Do the reading, go to class, and you'll do fine.

did not like this man at all. when asked where certain topics were in HIS OWN BOOK THAT HE WROTE HIMSELF he simply said i don't know somewhere near the end probably. his slides are only helpful if you copy down everything on them and everything he says or take pictures of them and find the terms on them in the book. Tests are hard, class is boring.

Professor Revlin is a good person, he's kind of nerdy and really knows his stuff. His tests are somewhat tough. I did not read for the class and just read the summaries for the book; get the AS notes because he doesn't post his online.

Revlins fine and all, but the tests were a lil' tricky. Hard to know what to expect on the tests. Exam questions are either very straightforward or really vague and interpretational (which answer BEST describes... type of questions). I HIGHLY reccomend getting AS notes, because Revlin doesn't believe in putting ppts online. Memorize the book.

Long -talker using power point. Most of them repeat what he summarizes in the first 10 minutes of class. Pretty funny old guy who will sometimes dismiss class early for social events. Treat your textbook like a dictionary-because it is! Tests are straight forward. If you've taken Psy 108, 70% of this class is review.
