Parente is an atrocious professor who lies to his students to get them out of his hair if he cant explain something to you when you come for office hours. Hes a subjective grader so make sure he likes you or you wont do well.

If you can graduate without taking him, I would avoid his class. His tests are too specific on powerpoints, and doesnt test to see whether you understood his content and know how to apply it. His classes feel like they are high school level.

Comment:
He is an amazing professor, extremely patient and kind to ALL students (even the annoying ones,) and is very enthusiastic about psychology. But he is SUCH a hard grader! Not that many people did well on the one paper we had, and he takes points off for basically everything. His midterm and final are really difficult. But, if u wanna learn, take him

Incredibly sweet man, really conveys his care and empathy for students. Wants you to succeed but will make you work for it. He teaches his 203 class like it's history of psychology. Participate at least once a class and he'll love you.

Comment:
Mr. Parente is a caring and knowledgeable professor. Class is lecture-based with accompanying powerpoints which he puts online. Honestly, you would do fine just looking at the powerpoints because his lectures tend to be a little dry. Still, he's a good professor and you will get a good grade if you put in effort.

A caring and concerned professor. Very interested in his field, and communicates this interest to his students. Parente wants you to succeed and is interested in what you have to say. Lots of material and hard tests. You must be willing to put in some effort to get a good grade.

He's just OK. Nothing special, but not an awful teacher. There isn't much more to say...

Comment:
Psych of Personality: By no means an easy 'A' but achievable if you put in (minimal) effort. His lectures just kind of stick with you, not much studying necessary. Not much to study for... The work load is minimal - midterm, infrequent hmwk assignments, one paper (10 pgs but is relatively easy and actually interesting...) and four quizzes.

He is a fine teacher. He really cares about his students. His tests are pretty difficult, and he is not a very easy grader. He will help if you go see him and he gives extra credit, which helps a lot.

Comment:
Honestly this teacher made me want to switch out of the major. Gave horrible lectures completely based off of the books powerpoints, I could have learned the subject matter easier just by reading the textbook. He was also a really harsh grader and gave difficult tests without any leniency. Would not recommend.

He's not a bad guy, really loves his job and you can tell. But he doesn't make the lectures interesting and he's very monotone. Tough grader, needs extremely specific details.

Very kind person who is truly passionate about the subject. He's pretty disorganized when teaching I don't know why but sometimes i feel like he shows up to class unprepared. His quizzes are harder than they should be. If you want to pass this class read the book! He's not awful but I've had way better.

Parente was a really nice guy but SO BORING. I dreaded going to his class. They dragged on for so long. He takes attendance which sucks. The tests are hard and they are on random material that it seems like he pulled out of nowhere. I wouldn't recommend him. But he was nice!

Parente is a gem. He is an expert on personality psych, and is there for help if you need it. For the most part, his class is pretty easy if you just show up and put in some effort. The reading isn't totally necessary unless you don't understand something because he goes over all the material in class. I would definitely take him again. He's a doll

He was my favorite professor this semester.He is very encouraging when it comes to participation and always gives positive feedback, even if your response is not 100% correct.He makes the class a lot more interesting by providing examples pertaining to his work.I've had a passion for psych, and his class helped make my passion stronger.

The class is fairly easy and I got a decent grade.I just feel like he has trouble getting out of that counselor persona and it doesn't work while teaching. Just didn't get along with him well; others might though, ask around if you're interested in him. He could be your favorite teacher.

Parente is an awesome guy! I've had him for three semesters and plan on taking him next semester. Uses powerpoints & his own examples from his practice, which is helpful! Tests can be tricky, but if you study they can be easy. Very helpful & fun!
