Comment:
I loved Prof. Sa, but his class is a lot of work. You get what you put into it. He has lecture assignments weekly and reading assignments biweekly to make sure you're doing everything you should be. There are 2 quizzes and no final, instead there's a final assignment that's worth 5-10 points depending on semester (mine was 5).

Hes an alright professor, the lectures are long but he does try to make interesting and keep his students engaged in it. He does recoded his lectures so you can always go back on them. There will me an assignment after his lectures and you have a week to finish it but they are pretty easy if you go back and watch the lectures

Comment:
Dr. Sa is the most organized professor I have ever had! He is very clear on the assignments and the lectures. He always provides opportunities to do office hours, meet outside of class, or even during the lecture for questions. He is very caring and passionate about his field of study. Pay attention and you will do well! I definitely recommend him!

No trouble for a while, but is horrible on respect for students. Lectures and textbook use were ok and could understand the material, but not to his liking. Not willing to help students better understand wrongdoings and was not respectful to student confusion. Great professor for content, but not by any means for respect and working with you

This professor is good for lecture and is very good at explaining concepts. He is also very good at presenting but one thing I was not prepared for what his unfriendly feedback/emails. I wrote him emails asking him for help on a concepts I was marked incorrectly on in the homework and his emails back were not very nice. WARNING.

Dr. Sá over communicates and is very clear about his expectations so as long as you follow along itll be easy. Its definitely homework and lecture intensive but he makes it very interesting and understandable to learn. I definitely recommend taking a class with him if you can!

Comment:
Professor Sa was a great professor. People dont like him because they may not get the best grades on the weekly lecture assignments. However, if you put in the work, you will succeed in his class. He very organized and such a nice man. I personally loved having him as a psychology professor. I recommend having him as a professor!

Comment:
I would avoid Walter at all costs! He is a tough grader, and gives one assignment per week and two quizzesboth of which were hard. I think most of the class mustve done poorly because he didnt do a final exam and randomly gave extra credit. Also, did not respond promptly to emails at all, and would respond with 2-word emails. Do not take him!

Comment:
Worst professor ive ever had. He is harsh with grading, we have weekly assignment based off our lecture videos & he looks for a specific answer and how much you write. I emailed him multiple times throughout the semester asking for help, therefore, he was not understanding at all and compared me to other students. I am one that usually does well.

Comment:
I took his hybrid class. I only ever used the textbook if I didn't understand something from the lecture (wouldn't recommend spending the money). Kind of a matter-of-fact type of guy, but not mean. VERY lecture heavy, so be prepared. Lot's of lecture assignments. I recommend filling them out as you watch the lecture (less time consuming this way).

Comment:
Professor Sa is a solid choice. I took him for PSY365 and got an A-, partly because we went online halfway through the semester. The tests are hard and the lectures can be dry, but he is very clear about what in lecture will show up on exams. I learned a lot of valuable information from him as a prof!

Comment:
definitely can see that he must have been a philosophy minor because what you learn is tied in with a lot of philosophical concepts. He's a nice guy and all but definitely not good at expanding on difficult content, also not so good at responding to emails either. if you aren't good at testing don't take the class. Also grade is made up of like100p

Sa is a great person who is always open to help his students. His voice is so calming it was hard to focus during lectures. They also drag on a lot. There are many assignments throughout the semester, but they're okay difficulty wise. The tests were very difficult. He isn't a bad professor by any means, but I struggled with focusing on the content.

Great teacher. Dr. Sa was so well organized and presented difficult material in a understandable way. I liked how he always worked the homework assignments into class presentations with perfect timing.

Don't bother buying the text book. It was over 100 dollars and we used it probably twice. Overall, I thought the tests were a lot easier than I expected compared to the lectures. He lectures for a very long time and has a monotone voice, but he's always willing to answer questions and was overall pretty nice. Just a boring class in general.

Comment:
He is a very smart professor. He does not "dumb it down" in class which makes it hard to follow sometimes. He is VERY organized and tells you exactly what will be on the exams which is nice but the content is difficult to understand in the terms he uses to explain them. He gives good examples/videos to help but it is still difficult to comprehend

He's a good guy and you can tell he is interested in the topic but his teaching style is very hard to follow. His slides are made well and he is organized but he does not lecture with any enthusiasm and his monotone voice makes it hard to follow along. I got distracted very easily in his class.

FANTASTIC PROF. The most organized prof I have ever seen. Very passionate about Cog Psyc. The toughest part of his class is it is only out of 100 points. So you have to be very careful on how many points you get docked on EVERY assignment and test. The test are tricky, just go over ALL notes and the readings. Overall, LOVED Prof Sa fantastic prof
