Comment:

Deyo gives COUNTLESS extra credit options both outside of exams and on exams. You must go to class, lectures are the basis of the information on exams. No cumulative final exam, just unit exams. Super easy class if you do the extra credit and pay attention to lectures.

I took his 303 and 210. He uses a lot of examples to help you connect with the material. His exams are pretty straightforward as long as you attend class. Take notes and review them a few times you should do well. He was super helpful when I had COVID and worked with me to get exams made-up. He's a bit strict, but he's super nice& genuinely cares.

Comment:

Dr. Deyo was an okay professor. His lectures were so boring and it was hard to pay attention. A lot of his material was about the anatomy of the brain rather than Psychology. If you skip class it would be detrimental to your test score. However, he gives out a lot of extra credit.

Comment:

Dr. Deyo seems to be a nice person, but a strict teacher. His lectures are mandatory because all material on the tests comes from his lectures. Beware, the material on the tests do not always match with what he talked about so you have to do deeper studying outside of class.

attendance isn't mandatory but I would recommend not skipping because you will end up missing a lot. He lectures the whole time and there is a lot of information. you should read the chapters before he lectures about them in class because you will be confused if you don't. tests weren't too hard but there are questions he only mentioned in class

His lectures are so interesting and I loved attending his class! My favorite prof so far! He gives out so much extra credit that allowed me to get As on all of my exams. Go to class, take notes, read the chapter (they are not long at all) and you will pass easily. Highly suggest Deyo!

Tests/projects are somewhat hard, but he drops lowest score of four tests. There is LOTS of extra-credit offered. It's not hard to get an A in this class, but to truly understand the material takes a bit of work. The textbook is straightforward, but read the chapter BEFORE lecture. While quiet, Deyo cares a lot and will help you if you ask.

I never found the class to be super difficult. I got high Cs/ low Bs on all of the tests but he gave so much extra credit and in class assignments that I was able to get an A. Lectures are always interesting, make sure you sit in the front for he tends to mumble a little bit.

Dr. Deyo is one of the best professors I have had at WSU. He is extremely knowledgable about the subject matter and genuinely wants to see his students succeed. He can be intimidating at first but he is very caring and kind. It's hard not to really respect him-- which is great because it will make you want to work harder in his classes.

Dr. Deyo is one of the most knowledgeable professors I have ever had. His tests are kinda hard but he gives you study guides and review quizzes to prepare. He also gives out so much extra credit so take advantage of it. Also side note, if you can't hear very well sit near the front as he speaks super quietly.

I really enjoyed his class. I had him for intro to psychological science & had S2i which was very helpful. His lectures are very interesting but they get extremely confusing & sometimes I felt super lost. Dr. Deyo hates cell phones & any distractions while he is lecturing. Lots of extra credit and is a great professor overall. Would take again.

He is one of the most knowledgeable professors I've ever had! He is very picky about students messing around in his class so no side chatter and texting otherwise he might kick you or the entire class out. Lots of extra credit! It was super easy to get an A but you can't skip this class!

Brain and Behavior (Now called Intro to Neuroscience) with Dr. Deyo was the best class I took this semester! Dr. Deyo is caring and is not a hard grader; he really tries to make sure everyone does well and gets A's, or at least B's. He knows a lot about psychology and neuroscience, and shares a lot of information since he is so passionate about it!

He is a very smart guy and actually knows what he is talking about which is awesome, but he'll get mad for small things and kick you out of class (or even the whole entire class). He is also a pretty quiet talker so if you can't hear that well, maybe sit towards the front of the room.

Very knowledgeable and direct. Drop exam and E.C. available. Will not respond to emails-- talk to him after class or during office hours. Turn OFF your phone before walking in the door. He will kick you out if it makes a peep. Don't be that person-- you're paying to be there and so are others.
