Comment:
Dr. Shantz teaches the most entailed Psy classes becasue Psy 100 covers a little bit of every topic of Psychology. There's a lot to choose from so you have to study it all. he is very epathic. Gave me the confidence in my own abilities to succeed and go on to graduate school.

Shantz is really funny and interesting, although you might have to get used to his quirks and occasional bad moods. You'll have to read and study to do well in his class, but if you don't slack off it's definitely worthwhile and interesting.

Comment:
he is funny as hell and easy as hell. if you do the practice quizes, read the chapters you should do fine. by the way, doing the study guide booklet and studying it should get you somewhere near a 4.0. if ur a lazy ass, dont take him. i would deff. reccommend.

Such a funny guy! He makes psychology one of the most interesting subjects and made class enjoyable. As long as you read the chapters and take good notes, you will do well. I would definitly recommend him to others!!

Comment:
Shantz is a goof and he does grow on you. You have to get used to how to take notes from his lectures. He says the word futz way too much and the online quizzes are a pain in the butt, but he is fun to listen too, but can come off like a jerk sometimes, especially on exam day. His exams are very difficult by the way. Would take again.

Dr Shantz is crazy! He's so enthusiastic and animated. He makes class interesting. His class is hard, but it's worth taking. Take lots of notes and read the chapters ahead of time.

Great teacher in the classroom. If you take notes, read the chapters, and do the WebCT stuff you will do fine. Not very helpfull out of the classroom though. If you dont feel you will need help from your prof then take him. Very funny, entertaining guy, good lectures. Relates the topics to life and trys to tie it in with why you are lurning it.

Bad teacher the reason I say this is because he ignores your phone calls and emails and he gets an attitude when you ask a question he will not help you at all. Take at your own risk. I never even had a one on one meeting with him.

He is a very funny teacher. But his leactures always were unorganized and seemed off topic sometimes. Hard to follow the notes & then hard to figure out what to study because his tests were very detail orientated.

He has a passion for his work, and strongly wants students to succeed. I think he just doesn't always know how to relate to the class. Read and study the material and pay detailed attention to ALL of his lectures.
