We were literally only given three 35 question tests for our entire grade. There is little to no curve and we are not given much clarity on what tests will cover. Very stressful, would not recommend.

Comment:
Taking his class during summer semester. If it wasn't for lecture recordings I wouldn't be passing. It's 100% based on lecture: no slides / no textbook. Grading is solely off of tests. Each summer lecture is 3hrs, so it's pretty hard to pay attention. He is a nice guy tho. Overall, not for everyone so avoid if this isn't your learning style.

Be warned, there are no lecture slides, there is no textbook. There are no homework assignments. Just 4 tests. You fail one and you're screwed. Everything is lecture based, so it forces you to show up, pay attention, and write notes. I did not enjoy his class, but he was very nice with coronavirus and worked with us. Good guy, not best professor

His Psyc 1101 class is great. Dr. Catrambone is a great lecturer, and very funny. As long as you go to class and take notes, you will do well on exams.

Professor Catrambone is one of the best lecturer's I have ever had! He is also an all-around cool guy. I would be interested in taking another class he is teaching. Attendance is nonmandatory but he only lectures, with no powerpoints. Thus, it's important to go to class to get the notes dor the tests. Our only grades were 4 tests. No HW.

Comment:
Prof was good and probably deserves a 3. He was funny and interesting. But I'm lowering the score so less ppl take his class. He has no notes, slides, nor hw. He just talks and the only grades are 4 tests throughout the semester. Therefore, if you miss even 1 class, you are done. Also, he is unsympathetic. No extra credit either...

Comment:
Fantastic prof, extremely dry humor, sarcastic as heck. Cares about the subject and is very knowledgeable. Grading is only 4 exams on material covered in class. No lecture slides posted online, so go to class (it's enjoyable anyways). Exams aren't too difficult, study 1-2h and you'll make an A.

Very cool teacher. He is funny and always willing to help. Book is completely unneeded, don't waste your money, just go to class and take notes and you will get A's on all the tests. Tests are straight from lecture and almost exactly the as practice tests. Just go to lecture, read notes, take practice test and the extra credit never hurts.

I really enjoyed Catrambone's class. He is kind of strange sometimes but very likeable. His lectures are actually fun to go to and his tests are almost just like his online practice questions. First A I have made at Tech.

Very fun class, don't bother buying the book, but don't take this class if you don't plan on attending. Tests are long but lecture based. I love his teaching style and recomend the class. Plus he's funny and explains things very well.
