I WILL NEVER FORGET DR. BYDE. He is by far, one of the funniest and most influential professors I have EVER MET! He is kind and I won't lie reminds me of santa clause. He knows what he is teaching and feeds you the info in the most relatable way. His stories are hilarious and memorable. I have a learned a lot about life and psych because of him! :)

Tests will be tough if you did not study the notes and chapter outlines very deeply. He is a great professor who gives very good lectures. He writes them free hand with on the projector camera and draws examples. He makes it so that the lectures aren't so stale and boring and makes them fun yet very informative.

Byde is a great professor. He has no power points just a pen, paper, and a projector. Does get off track a bit. Funny guy and takes pride in his teaching. Class can get boring but if you do your hw and study guides and test you should be fine.

Great professor who loves the subject. Show an interest in the class and your grade- he will help during office hours. He can be hilarious but also gets a lot done. THE STUDY GUIDES ARE EVERYTHING. The book is not necessary but the reading is interesting. HIGHLY recommend him.

Lectures composed of his writing on paper and showing on projector. No powerpoint, and lengthy writer. Takes so long, wastes time, but does explain everything on exams. Study for written portion, he heavily hints a lot of material on tests. Weird style of teaching but easy content.

Don't be fooled by the other reviews think twice cause it's not an easy A. His lecture style is terrible but he gives you study guides that are somewhat similar to the test but you also have to read the book. He tries to joke around to make the class more enjoyable which is kinda cool it's also his last year teaching

funny, good professor. sometimes he trails off a bit or talks about aliens. tests are extremely similar to study guides so you really only need to look at those. barely used textbook. he definitely is very knowledgeable and likes when students ask questions. pretty straightforward class

Prof. Byde is the most hilarious, inspirational, amazing professor at FJC. His classes are lecture based, but very easy to follow. He gives you his course guide, and even psychoanalyzes students in class in a light hearted way, to make sure you're entertained and paying attention. I wish he taught more classes so I can hear him more often!

Dr. Byde was such a wonderful professor to have for abnormal psych. His lectures were not mandatory but they were still great to attend and learn from. Dr. Byde gives you all the tools to succeed in his class as long as you want to use them. He is quite a character in lecture and shows his love for psychology daily.

Prof. Byde is an exceptional instructor. Although his class consists of only lectures, and attendance is not mandatory. Your grade reflects on only 3 tests that have 2 components to it. He provides layouts of the chapters and study guides online that he goes over in class so honestly I never opened my book.

Dr. Byde is the reason why I have chosen to pursue being a psychologist. I took two of his classes and learned more from him than any of my other professors at FC. He truly is passionate about his work, his students, and shows a great appreciation for life in general. His class isn't that hard because he helps you succeed. He's also pretty funny.

His exams are SIMILAR to the study guide, however I would still read all the chapters. His lectures can be a little boring but he makes them funny! 3 exams, 2 of them have essays along with multiple choice and the other is a short answer plus multiple choice. Easy A if you put in a little effort.

Dr Byde is a great teacher. Though the book was not used very often(cannot pick a specific time i pulled it out), he supplements with his own definitions and his own knowledge. Show up( especially on review days), take notes and be prepared to laugh. Is one of my favorite teachers, I decided to take his abnormal class. I recommend him.

He is very funny. He teaches by relating the lecture to everyday life. Gives and reviews study guide and gives notes before actual tests. I would recommend preparing yourself and reading ahead (it helps if you use good study techniques). He gives good feedback. I would take his class again.
