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.

honestly the material was interesting and straight forward. the tests were very fair and he had study guides for the midterms and final! honestly very slay

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 !!

Great guy and very understanding. Loved this class

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.

2 exams; 2 quizzes. overall Good lecturer. kept up with readings (warning: there is a lot) which helped me understand the material in the class. He also has you watch videos out of class, which he will have 2 items on exams. he also had a guest lecture (2-3 questions). exam- 75% on the lecture. 20% on readings. 5 % rest. got an A- in the class.

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.

Alright professor and an alright class. Material is really interesting but Schooler isn't a very compelling lecturer (once you notice how many "um"s he says it's hard to not notice them) and the exams are harder than you'd think compared to the topics he covers in lectures! Really likes it when students ask questions, but often doesn't have answers

His lectures are key if you want to be capable of the tests, as is reading the book. You need to do a lot of work to get the information clarified in your head. there is quite a lot that is conflicting. He is eager to teach students and a genuinely sweet guy. he can be frustrating as despite his intentions he isn't able to make everything clear.

Best professor I have had in my entire college career. Extremely knowledgeable. He loves what he does and wants his students to love it too and do well in the class. Would highly recommend. Super helpful. Loved the class.

He is very organized. He is like a walking dictionary, he uses a lot of big words. There are 2 quizzes, a midterm, and a final. He will curve it if majority does bad. You have to put in A LOT of work to get a good grade. Overall pretty difficult but not impossible

I feel that the class was more focused on covering massive amounts of material with little depth to the information we were given. It seems sort of counter-intuitive, given the fact that the class was emphasizing ways to retain information better. His lectures are a skim that moves 1000 mph and the slides lack appeal

He's an excellent professor that really cares about both the students and the material. While his lectures can be long, they are always interesting and engaging. His test are clear, so if you study, you'll get a good grade. Also, if you're thinking about doing an Honors Contract, he's a great professor to work under.

If you want to learn by yourself then you should take this class. If you want to copy down exactly what he puts on his slides you should take this class. If you want to mindlessly listen to him tell you what to copy down instead of taking the time to actually understand the concepts you should take this class.

The material he lectures on contradicts the textbook. Not only that, but something he says will typically contradict something he said earlier. The inconsistency is a chore to deal with. Overall, extremely disorganized and dysfunctional class and professor.

Schooler teaches a clear-cut psychology class. He is definitely an expert in his field and has extensive research background in cognitive science which made the lectures more interesting. He tries to keep the lectures upbeat but they can drag at times. Expect a large amount of vocab. Overall a solid introductory class.

If you make sure to truly pay attention during lecture and go over your notes you'll do well. It is pretty helpful to read the book but its not too necessary. You can tell he really enjoy teaching us what he knows :)

Professor Schooler was great. He did his best to make boring topics fun and really encouraged class participation. That being said, if you don't come in excited or interested in yhe material, of may be boring. Tests are tough in the sense they ask for specifics you wouldn't normally memorize.. But would take again in a heartbeat!!

Honestly one of the best psych teachers I have had. Lectures are great, clear, and engaging !
