I think this is a good class just depends on the person. If you are not a good test taker do not take this class. Scored very low the first quiz and was very hard to bring my grade u. if you are looking for easy A do not take it . He is great teacher but having only 3 exams for a grade can take a toll on ur grade. If ur like me and are bad at test

Professor Hambrick is a great teacher and I would definitely recommend taking his classes. His PSY101 class consists of 2 hour lectures, but he manages to make them interesting and is super funny and engaging. Your grade is pretty much completely tests, but they're easy and consist of material directly from the lectures with a few book questions.

He's a great professor and he's really funny. The only grade you get in his class are the exam grades so if you don't do good on them then you're screwed. He does exam reviews but they don't do much. He also puts questions on the exam from the book so if you don't read you may find it hard. Overall, he makes class really interesting and funny.

Prof Hambrick is so amazing! His psych class is mainly lecture and reading the chapter on your own. His grading scale is pretty stringent and it makes up for a lot! He also has extra credit so you know he cares!! Really did love the guy. Also- hes freaking hilarious.

I really enjoyed PSY101 with Dr. Hambrick. He is such a sweet and funny guy, and his lectures were always meaningful. The material was very understandable, and he posted the slides after a couple weeks. You can tell this guy loves what he does. Great professor!

literally only showed up to class on exam days. got a 85 on first test, 94 on second, and 89 on final. gives extra credit for research. i took ap psych in HS, so studying took me maybe an hour total the night before the test. I never went to class, but i hear hes a great professor and tries to make it interesting. easy GPA boost if you need it.

I had Hambrick for psych 101 and I loved him. I barely showed up to class and got a 90% on the first exam. He posts the lecture slides a week before the exam. Make sure you do the research studies EARLY!!!

I got a 2.0 in this class but he was the easiest of the 101 professors from what I heard. He's a funny guy, and if you show up everything in lecture is from the book and you should do way better than I did.

I loved taking Psych with Hambrick. Very genuine guy who truly enjoys teaching. His lectures are enjoyable and he provides excellent media / real-life examples for specific terms. The tests cover exactly what is referenced in PowerPoints and sometimes the textbook as well, but they are very easy if you put in study time.

Hambrick was awesome for psych. I would suggest going to class and listening to the lectures and stories he tells, but if you are someone that can teach yourself the material, then he does post all of his powerpoints the week before each exam. You have to participate in a few hours of research studies but you can get EC from them if you do extra!

Heres the whole class in a nutshell.... u dont need to go because he teaches from a powerpoint which he gives you 1 week before the tests. The class is an easy 4 because literally every test question comes from the powerpoints. With that being said the powerpoints are long so lots of memorizing,

Amazing teacher and a great person to get to know. Highly recommend him because he truly loves his job and he offers you 3% extra credit if you an extra 6 hours of research. He is really funny and a down to earth guy who really, really, loves dogs.

I went to every class, put in numerous hours of studying, and even attended his office hours multiple times, yet I still ended up with a C in the class. Got a 95 on the final and was a point away from a higher grade but he would not change it. His class solely is based off 4 exams and a few hours in research labs.

The class is just exam grades which can be difficult, but if you pay attention to the lectures, take good notes, and make sure you study at least a bit you'll be okay. Hambrick gives interesting lectures and he kind of sounds like Bill Clinton which is a plus. I really enjoyed the class!

Very charming and funny individual. Lectures were given with care and charisma. Tests only. No homework. No "mandatory" reading but I recommend you do the reading if you want a good grade.
