Comment:
Beginning of the semester, he was an awesome guy, but as we switched to online learning everything changed. His grading is so unbelievably difficult and his exams are very very hard. I never struggled so hard to get a good grade in a class before. Not worth taking this class unless you have to.

Comment:
One of the hardest classes I've ever taken. His grading makes no sense and it takes most of the exam time just to understand what the questions are asking. The shift to online learning made it even more difficult and getting a good grade is next to impossible. Don't take this class unless you have to. Save yourself!

everyone always expects the psych classes to be easy, which is why they're disappointed when gill challenges that.. his classes are not hard if you put in the work and do exactly as he says. come to class, read the textbook, and it should be easy. those that complain are just lazy, would Highly recommend his classes for your requirement!!

Comment:
Ever since the shift to online learning, this class has gotten ridiculously hard. He was the least understanding teacher when it came to the situations we were all in. Questions on exams were impossible to decode. I studied over a week in advance of exams and was lucky if I got above an 80. His grading is not reflective of how much you know.

I am just kind of disappointed in prof. Gill. This semester online and the transition has been extremely difficult and of all my professors he has been the least understanding.

Comment:
Gill's class is definitely not the easy A psych class you are looking for. He really makes you work for that A because his tests are HARD. You have to seriously pay attention to lecture (I recommend recording it) and you definitely have to READ THE TEXTBOOK. He's a good and clear lecturer though and makes class interesting, so it's worth it.

Comment:
prof. gill is very outspoken about his political views, and that might throw you off. that being said, once you get past that you will realize how truly awesome he is! super caring and nice, lectures are very clear and really interesting. class is not bad but he can be strict with some policies like seating assignments for tests; TAKE GOOD NOTES

Comment:
Professor Gill is absolutely great. This class will teach you great study habits!!! His lectures are interesting but you do need to take VERY good notes and read the textbook. Cramming the night before is not effective AT ALL but if you pace the material you can get an A. He curves the exams a few points depending on the grade distribution.

Comment:
Ridiculous grade ranges--should have gotten a C+. Not helpful answering questions or explaining things, and tests are impossible due to the fact that questions are worded in such a way that there seems to be more than one possible answer... Would NOT recommend taking this professor if this is for your major or if you're looking for a grade boost

Great, interesting lectures. Tough but reasonable exams. Do not take if you are looking for an easy A.

If you are planning to take psyc 001 and have gill as your professor, you better have great listening skills. the majority of his exams are from what he says. you still have to read the book.

Prof. Gill really tries to make lecture interesting and explains everything really well. Test are half lecture notes and half things from the textbook. If you read the book, take good notes, and show up to class you should have no problem getting an A, but if not this class will be difficult.

Tests were really pretty easy if you read the textbook and go to lecture.. attendance isn't mandatory but I suggest you go. He tries pretty hard to make his lectures interesting and he's good at explaining the topics. Plus, there's a lot on his tests from his lectures that you won't find in the textbook.

Comment:
when people do not understand the material very well, they will imagine that the tests have more than one correct answer. such people will complain about the test rather than exerting the effort to learn the material better.

test questions have more than one correct answer (double checked the text after taking the test) but only the "more correct" one is accepted

Comment:
Came in expecting an easy A in psychology, but it was really anything but. He expects a lot out of you despite being an introductory class. He doesn't take attendance, but you have to show up to class to get the notes, which are 80% of the tests. However, he is probably one of the best professors at Lehigh when it comes to that.

He's a chill guy and an entertaining lecturer, but his exams are ridiculous! Doesn't want to get to know his students because he knows he must destroy their grades for the greater good. Michael Gill: waging war on grade inflation one C at a time..

One of the best professors ever. He genuinely cares about his students and will always go the extra mile to help them out. He's also a really nice guy, provides opportunities for extra credit, and is pretty easy if you go to class and pay a little attention.
