PSYCH 202
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Green is a great teacher and I'm very happy with choosing this class, you learn a lot of important things for life. Getting an A is not a hard task as long as you listen in class, make hw, and study a bit.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Professor Green was awesome! Great professor, explained things so well and actually made it interesting. Midterms were easy, only thing that was annoying was the fact that it started at 7:45 am. Only reason I ended up with an AB was because I skipped lecture too often, so ATTEND LECTURES!!

Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Very knowledgeable on the best strategies for learning and he incorporates that into the structure of the class. The course structure is perfect, but he doesn't connect with students very well.

PSYCH 202
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Professor sets you up for success. 5 exams (1 drop) and lots of busy work homework but by doing the homework it makes you a wizard at the content. I finished with like a 98, as long as you somewhat apply yourself you'll get an A.

PSYCH 202
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
He's a really easy-going professor and clearly wants everyone in the room to succeed in class. It's basically impossible to fail the class even if you try to and the way he formats exams are almost identical to the practice material he posts online, making it really easy to study for upcoming exams. There's no midterm or cumulative final either.
