BEST instructor ever. He understands college is hard and he takes that into consideration when lecturing. The class is all group work and he lets you choose any topic. He's hilarious and wants to make the class fun! Skip class if you want but you won't get his idea on something to make it simple. He's amazing so just go to class

This class was extremely fast for those who have never taken a psychology class previous to this one expect to study crunch like no tomorrow. The syllabus is what you should follow and stay on top of. if you don't you'll find yourself studying three days before the test without ay instruction from him. Good luck and be ready to study your butt off.

Matthew Islas was one of the best professors I've ever had! He's young so he relates to his students, and he genuinely cares about all of his students. The group research projects were fun and pretty easy. There is a lot of info, but he gives a study guide of everything that's on the exams so just study and you'll pass.

The class was pretty easy. Only thing I didn't like is that major assignments were never graded in a timely manner. We had to turn in draft papers and then the final versions a week later without any comments or revisions. Major assignments were not graded until class was already over so you had no idea if you were failing or not.

A great professor overall! However, the class can get confusing if you are not familiar with research or if your not interested. Best tip is to study really HARD on the midterm and you should be fine. Of course, there will be a major all semester research project, don't procrastinate. Start writing it early! Email him so he can help you edit it.
