Great class!

Very interesting lectures, funny, movies every class, go to lecture do some reading and you will be fine.

Great teacher, fun lectures, good class! Tests aren't difficult, and you don't always have to read the textbook because he covers most of the material during lecture.

Funny class. Straight forward. Very general.

Interesting, but most topics you only get a vague overview of. I really like the professor but never really got to know him. All multiple choice tests.

Dodson really just reads off the slides and plays a bunch of video clips. I didn't enjoy the class, neither did the friends I took it with. The exams were worded to be unnecessarily difficult, but the material itself was simple. I'd recommend taking intro with any other professor possible.

Great professor, good intro class and got me into taking higher level psych classes. just going over the slides was really enough to do well

Your basic 1010 college class. Dodson was a fun guy and a decent lecturer. The exams were all multiple choice and you could drop the lowest grade. Don't take this class unless you have to, because it's a lot of material and only very general.

I agree with the guy below me; Dodson does just read off of the slides. I fell asleep in this class multiple times and still got an A, as you didn't really need to attend lectures. Reading the book isn't really necessary either as it goes into more detail than you need for the tests. I would still probably go to lecture because a few of his slides require some explanation. You get one drop test, and I'm not really sure how much he curves for the class. That being said, I was considering being a psyc major but this class kinda killed it for me. You learn some interesting things but overall I had a mediocre experience.

Awful, awful class. While the subject matter can be interesting at times, unfortunately your grade doesn't depend on the big-picture items; more often than not, how well you do well on the tests is based off of how many irrelevant details you can remember, present in either two words in the PowerPoint or one sentence from the book. Rote memorization never makes for a good, interesting, or worthwhile class.

Dodson has the possibility of being a good professor, but I can't judge that based upon a class where he simply reads off PowerPoints (no reason to attend class whatsoever - they're posted on Collab even before he lectures on them).
