Chad is a great professor, he teaches everything on the test (so there is no need to read the book unless you're truly curious about the subject), and the information is relatively easy to take in. It's the perfect class really.

As far as material goes, I thought it was interesting and gave me a good background about Psych. As a professor I thought Dodson was really energetic although he does just read off his slides. As far as grading goes, really do not see how people can think this class is that difficult. You literally just memorize his ppts and you will get a good grade, you don't even have to go to lecture except for the test days. Do not buy the book it is a waste of money and using it will not get you a better grade. I guess there are a few "trick" questions on the tests but knowing this is half the battle...you just then have to be extra careful taking the test. If you know the slides and you are looking out for trick questions this is not a hard class. And you get to drop your lowest score on the tests. One of the easier A's at this school in my opinion if you are good at memorizing.

Chad is extremely feminine. It can feel a bit weird trying to approach him. However he is a nice man with a good heart. Chad's lectures are pointless because all the power points cover his lecture. This class is an easy B+.

Chad Dodson is great- a super passionate lecturer and definitely on the ball. However, the tests are SO tricky that it takes away from the enjoyment of the class. In order to do well, you need to not only know EVERYTHING from every slide, but also know it well enough to apply it to other examples and concepts. You don't ever need to read the book.

Dodson is a very passionate lecturer, he will make you feel excited about psychology. However, the exams are very difficult. Make sure you understand the concepts. The tests is more about application than memorization. There are 4 tests before the final but the lowest one is dropped so it's okay if you flub one. Don't bother with the book, you won't need it.

I didn't crack the textbook all semester and was fine, don't bother buying it! Chad's exam questions can be a little tricky, so make sure you understand the underlying principles and don't just memorize the examples he gives in class. The material is fairly interesting and Chad does his best to keep everyone as excited as he is.

Professor Dodson makes this class way harder than it needs to be. His questions are tricky and he tests you on things that he doesn't cover in class. Do not take this class unless you are a psych major. Not a good class.

Dodson is a very engaging professor. The course material is very interesting and he puts in the best effort to make the lectures fun, and engaging. His tests are pretty tricky, but the class is very worth taking.

Professor Dodson is a great professor! The class wasn't very difficult ,the textbook was enjoyable, and the lecturers were always really interesting. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in psychology.

Dodson is incredibly engaging and a great prof. Easy class if you put the time in and memorize the key terms in the textbook. DO NOT read the textbook because he could care less if you do and takes all his questions from his power points.
