PSY120 . 6 Months Ago

Overall an average professor. He didn't show up to a single test we had this quarter, which I thought was kind of weird of him. Ended up going to about half of his lectures, didn't once read the textbook, and still ended up with an A-. Lectures are straightforward-- just memorize them and you'd be good. Tests not bad at all, very straightforward.

This is the most life-changing class I have taken. The material is like nothing you have learned before. I learned how to meditate, focus/concentrate, self-compassion, and really a new perspective on life. I can't recommend it more. Prof Schooler is a great person. He spends a lot of time answering questions in class and after. He is availb in OH

Pretty tough class. Dr. Schooler is an incredible teacher and researcher, but the exams for this course are pretty tough. Two midterms, each worth 25%, and a final worth 50%. He curved the second midterm because the average was extremely low, which was awesome. Highly recommend the class but it can be pretty challenging.

Professor Schooler is one of the most amazing professors I've ever had. He's so smart and caring and makes class really enjoyable. Take his science of consciousness class it's literally life changing !!

Professor Schooler is one of the best professors this school has to offer. He's very understanding and he tries to make the learning environment as positive as possible. Sometimes he has little trouble with Zoom but its never anything bad and it's fixed super quickly.

Lectures on interesting material. Provides students with a great study guide saying exactly what to study (plus a little extra) in order to receive a high score on the exam. Very knowledgeable.

Prof Schooler is very smart, and you can tell he is really passionate about neuroscience and psychology. His lecture slides are very text-heavy and dense with info, can sometimes be hard to follow/understand. Tests are easy as long as you show up, pay attention, and read. Sometimes could not answer questions in depth. Madeleine Gross is a good TA.

He is understandable and does his best to answer any questions you may have. You do have to read if you want an A, the tests are made up of approximately 85% powerpoint and 15% book. Stay for lecture after a quiz and there is a chance you'll get extra credit. If you care about the material, the lecture will be fun and engaging.

There is one midterm and final. You have to read the textbook and know the lecture to do well. He is a pretty good lecturer and willing to help out as much as he can. It is a little difficult but if you do the readings and really understand the lectures, you'll do fine.
