Took online psych class with Hackbarth. Ignored emails when I asked for help with wrong answers on assignments. The assignments have many ambiguous questions, especially photo matching ones. They almost always have multiple explanations. If you don't choose his preferred interpretation, you're wrong - doesn't matter much how well you know materialRate My Professors ↗
Maybe it's because I'm not into psychology that much, but his classes were extremely hard and he gives lots of homework/tests.Rate My Professors ↗
Alan was a great professor. He answered many questions through email very quickly and tried to be as helpful as he could. I also had quite a few late assignments, because of my work schedule, which he accepted for full credit. Overall, a lot of work, but he makes it simple and easy to understand what is expected.Rate My Professors ↗
I took the online course for Educational Psychology. I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot. The professor was good, but he was a pretty tough grader(need to know what he wants). The resources he gives you are very helpful. I also emailed him quite a bit, and he responded in an orderly fashion.Rate My Professors ↗
Dr. Hackbarth is a great teacher. The thing I enjoyed most about this class was that this teacher was always extremely professional. He was always a fair grader and really worked hard to ensure that students could understand the material. I would recommend this class and teacher to anyone.Rate My Professors ↗
Such an easy class. It's all online except 3 times through the semester. If you need a GPA booster take this class. Great guy too. He talks about this "final project" as being haunting, it isn't at all. Also gives extra credit.Rate My Professors ↗
