Basic Psychology Feedback

Below is a complete set of comments from the members of one of my classes during this semester.  This was a class in which many students failed many quizzes and so were no longer in the course at the end of the semester (hence the small number of comments.)  But the feedback from those who did complete the course was very similar to feedback from other classes in which more of the students were successful.  (This semester I have corrected the spelling errors because there were so many of them that it was easier to type the words correctly than to copy the spelling used by the students.)

Very well organized course. Prof. Cohen you did not lose a step throughout the whole semester. Would recommend the course to others as long as they are serious about learning and working hard. Thank you.

I really did enjoy the course and did learn a lot. I bombed on the quizzes because I took too much time to answer each question. You're the only REAL college Professor I've had so far. I enjoyed your lessons a lot and know the information I learned this semester will help me in the future.

I enjoyed the course immensely. Thank you for treating all of us with respect. You never talked down to anyone because we're attending CCC .... Money well spent.

I enjoyed and learned a lot from this course. I took Intro to Psych at Rutgers New Brunswick last year and your course was so much better and more interesting than that course.

This was definitely the most demanding course I ever took but I don't think I ever learned as much as I did in here.

The course is a mind-blowing experience that I have already recommended to friends and loved ones. This is the only course book I've read front to back and the entire thing is amazing.

I enjoyed the course. I think you made the subject matter interesting and fun. I think you are excellent. I wish the class could meet just for the camaraderie and the insight you bring every week. Thank you.

The reading I thought was a little too long. I had many people say to me that they didn't read all of them. The course was great. Very interesting, you shown me some good things. If I wasn't going into computers I would choose psych because of you. Thanks.

This course was very interesting. It definitely was what you said it would be on the first day. The workbook will either make or break a person. I do think that it will help in the future.

I wish we had more time to discuss [a] few more details on the course, especially on [the] second part of the course.

I found the objectives to be useful especially in the beginning of the course...

I truly enjoyed your course, Dr. Cohen. You really know what you're doing and I'm confident that I'll remember much of it. At first you scared me, but you did what you had to do to help me not only become a better student but a better person as well. Thanks a lot. I'll never forget you or my experience in your class.

This course has helped me to understand more of what I see every day and why other people do/have done things.

I enjoyed this class. You make learning fun.

Although at times demanding, your class was interesting. I now have a greater respect for you because of your enthusiasm to teach and your concern with our learning.

In the beginning of the course I used the objectives to guide me, by the end of the course I didn't need them really, I already learned the structure of the outline.

When reading the textbook you take in a ton of information. It wasn't until I did the fill-ins and objectives that I truly understood the information I obtained.
