Percival is a great psychology professor who really knows how to connect with students, help students find their own interests, and guide them to explore said interests. He is exceptional at understanding which concepts students do not understand, and explaining those concepts in different ways for each individual.

Percival is a great professor. He literally hands you the test, you just have to prepare for it. Would definitely recommend him.

Harsh grader on the one paper he grades and typically takes a long time to receive grades. Feedback was not very constructive, more just pointed out all the ways you're wrong. However, class is straight forward and he sets students up for success.

Dr. Matthews genuinely cares about students learning and makes lectures thought-provoking and fun to attend. He presents the material in the textbook via power point and provides study guides for all of the exams. Outside of class, it's required to participate in 3 psychology studies, but they're easily accessible and usually don't take long.

He is such a great professor who cares about each of his students: he literally memorizes everyone's name in his class (of about 100+ students). Just make sure you attend lecture for attendance. The class was very interesting, and he made it engaging to listen to his lectures as well! Definitely recommend this class with Dr. Matthews!

Class is pretty easy! As long as you show up to lecture, and somewhat pay attention you should do A-Okay. There are a few one page papers during the semester, but not bad at all. The tests are basically given to ya as well, so almost no excuse to fail. He keeps it entertaining as well. Interesting material too. I'd recommend it!

Class assessments were easy. Attendance was pretty much mandatory in order to receive participation points but was easy to do so. No discussion section. Lecture slides were posted online. Relatively interesting for all majors.
