Comment:
As a psych major, I was super excited to take this class but it was honestly the hardest one I had my first semester. We had a pop quiz every single week which counted as attendance, and the exams were very hard even if you read the book. I highly do NOT recommend. He will make you hate psychology

Class focused on scientific studies not actual concepts. I took this class in high school and it was super interesting but this course was the opposite. Overall it was fairly easy if you read the book but if you want to learn about concepts and want to be interested in the material during lecture DO NOT take this prof.

Comment:
He wont teach everything for exam purposes you have to teach yourself. Hes also liberal and when the political position of your professor is obvious it takes away from the class. Wed Talk about always using scientific reasoning except when it comes to stereotype threat which I think is designed to indoctrinate students liberally. Overall okay.

I had Professor Wolfe for PSY101 and overall, it was a good class. There are 4 exams including the final and they were all pretty difficult! If you dont read the textbook, you wont get a good grade on the exams. Not a bad thing, you just definitely need to study a fair amount in this class. Overall, I would take him again!

Comment:
He always makes lecture so interesting-very discussion based. Attendance is not mandatory but he does give random quizzes that you get credit just for being there. You have to read to textbook for exams but it is not difficult at all. Tests are usually not that difficult. He genuinely cares about his students' learning!

This class is 90% lectures, but I find them very interesting because the way Wolfe presents the content. He will always bring up the textbook, even though there's very few test questions from the book. If you miss a lecture, get notes, because writing lecture notes down is how you'll do good on tests. He also assigns some readings and papers.

I always looked forward to coming to class and his lectures were very interesting. As he says in class just make sure you're reading the book if you want to do well in the class. Other than reading there's not much out of class work and he curves most of the exams.

Great professor! Makes classes very interesting and applicable. I learned how to learn from this class. I took this class 2 years ago and I still use all the studying and note taking techniques he teaches. Dr. Wolfe backs everything he teaches with research and does a great job introducing students to real practical psychology. Again great prof!!

make sure you read the book!!! I got a D on the first exam because I only studied my lecture notes. His tests are very hard and textbook heavy but if you read the book throughout the course you can definitely pass. Also finish all the experiments as early as possible!!

Read the book!!!! There are 3 tests and a final during the semester. The tests have a lot of information from the book and you'll only get a good grade if you read! He has pop quizzes but they're for completion, so just show up to class. I would suggest getting help right away; i.e. tutoring. If you get stuck with him you'll be fine, just read!!!!

MAKE SURE TO READ THE BOOK!! Tests are a mix of lecture material and textbook info (not discussed in class). Weekly pop quizzes are given, but you'll get 5/5 as long as you turn something in. Participate in experiments as early as possible to get them out of the way.

Read the textbook before lectures. Power points are bare and tests are very hard. Not many assignments, only 4 tests and 4 short essays.

Prof. Wolfe is a sold choice for Psych 101. He is a good professor and is very knowledgeable. Be prepared to do lots of reading and take lots of notes. The tests are tough, and sometimes it's hard to say what's going to be on them. He has pop quizzes once a week. They are just for credit and basically boost your grade if you show up to class.

He is a good professor and loves what he teachers. I wish I would have studied more for this class. He lectures in a way that is easy to understand. He doesn't have very much homework though, so that's nice. I wish he would've given are tests back, but he only lets you come look at them during his office hours.

At first, this class seemed to be interesting and pretty easy. However, after the first exam, you are screwed unless you are really good and psychology. His lectures are okay, but the exams are a lot harder than to be expected and there is a lot of reading! I would recommend a study group and do well in any other assignments.

Dr. Wolfe is himself. He is funny and friendly and loves teaching. He learns everyone's names and works hard to make class different each day. Overall, I would say this is a very good class and would definitely suggest taking it.
