Professor Dodson is a really engaging lecturer, posts his powerpoints to collab, the tests are all scantron (but shouldn't be underestimated), and your lowest test grade is dropped from your average. I loved this class, it was a great first experience with the psych department.

I did not like the lecture, but I did like the information. The lecture consisted of him talking about his powerpoint and showing alot of videos. I often fell asleep because the class is so cut and fry and straight forward. His tests were mostly derived from the powerpoint and the tests were kind of tricky. This class confirmed what people say about into classes being some of the hardest.

Interesting lectures for the most part, but the tests are very tricky. You really need to memorize his powerpoint slides and read the textbook (which is painfully long sometimes) if you want to get an A.

Really enjoyed this class, lectures seemed to go by very quickly because Dodson is a very engaging and enthusiastic professor! Strong emphasis on lectures on the exam, you definitely need to go to class.

Lectures can be boring at times especially when he just reads off the powerpoint slides. The experimental videos are always entertaining. Exams are fairly simple but reading the textbook might also help with concepts not discussed in lecture.

Dodson is an absolutely wonderful professor that explains the material very clearly. His tests are difficult though! Study the powerpoints and book thoroughly. No homework except to read the book. There are 4 tests and he drops the lowest grade, plus a final.

Take this class! If you're the slightest bit interested in psychology, take this class and you won't regret it! Very interesting material and Dodson is a great lecturer. He posts the slides online before the class but it's still worth going to the lectures because he does a great job explaining everything and giving examples. Midterms are reasonable, just read the book and study the slides and you'll be fine

I loved this class! Professor Dodson makes Psychology even more interesting than it already is by bringing in videos from experiments and just being a great, engaging lecturer. Tests were nothing to worry about if you paid attention in class and/or read the book as long as you reviewed a little. Take this class!

I enjoyed this class because I found the material extremely interesting. However, do not expect an easy A. The tests are trickier than anticipated, however doing well is not impossible.

Professor Dodson was very enthusiastic about the material, but the class moved really quickly and couldn't go very far into most of the interesting topics. The class relies solely on powerpoint presentations, but he usually included video clips to illustrate concepts that helped liven class up a bit. The chapters in the textbook are long, but it isn't really necessary to read all of every one. Exams were harder than expected, but he curves them based on how the class does as a whole.
