I felt that I understood all of the material in this course yet did not do well. I studied for hours upon hours for each of the exams and did average. Would not recommend unless you enjoy being frustrated. And I don't think the grade distribution shown is correct. Questions are worded very poorly and confuse your understanding of the concept.

Chad is the best! You don't really have to do any reading, just studying before the tests from the slides. Tests are all 40 multiple choice questions, can be a little difficult but easy to do well if you study.

Chad Dodson is my favorite teacher ive had so far. He makes the class interesting and he teaches the material in a really helpful way. Definitely recommend this class.

I personally loved Chad Dodson! He is a very engaging lecture and is easy to follow. He also posts all of his powerpoints online, and most of the questions on the test come from what we talked about in class and not obscure details from the book which I appreciate. Overall, take this class if you want a interesting class, low work-load, and not to hard tests.

CHAD IS AMAZING! He knows so much about psych, and his lectures are very engaging! I really look forward to going to this class.

This class is an easy A if you just study for the tests. As long as you take good notes during the lectures and study the slides, you're fine. Plus he drops your lowest exam grade!

Class is super interesting and Chad is awesome! The tests can be tricky because material is super broad, but the questions are specific.

LOVED this class, and Dodson was so great. Very straightforward material - the tests come entirely from the lectures, and he puts the slides online. He would also show videos in class that were relevant. If you want to take intro psych, definitely take Dodson!!

Love Love Love Chad Dodson. He seems to be really excited about the material he is teaching. Do not buy the textbook, you absolutely do not need it. Just memorize the slides and lectures are a must. But a tip from some of my friends, don't take this class with anyone other than Chad Dodson, especially Smyth, he makes the class way harder than it should be, and you must buy the textbook if you have Smyth.

Tests are impossible, lectures are not enjoyable. 10/10 would not take this class

The class requires absolutely no reading outside of class, don't even bother getting the textbook. Chad matches his tests to his power points - memorize these and you'll ace the class. He covers an incredible amount of information in this intro class, so much that I did not learn any new major topics in the 3 2000-level courses that I have taken after 1010. Chad is a great professor, always happy and full of energy, really makes you interested in the material. TAKE THIS CLASS even if you are not a psych major. Loads of fascinating material. 10/10 would recommend.
