Best prof ever!!!!

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very funny teacher but relies heavily on tests. If you aren't good at tests and are better with essay I do not recommend. However, as long as you study then you will do fine on the exams. The midterm is about 35% and the final 30% or vice versa and the rest is open book quizzes online.

Hehman had the funniest and most energizing lectures ever! However this is a content heavy class and for the cumulative final, you will need to memorize 600 textbook pages to VERBATIM. Each week, I would spend around 5 hours reading the textbook and taking notes. Focus on maximizing your midterm grade because it has less content and weighted more.

The final was extremely detail-oriented, testing you on specifc examples or studies not discussed in class rather than on the concepts themselves... Despite being an amazing lecturer, I would avoid if you're aiming for an A. That being said, there is extra credit and you can easily bring your grade up with weekly online quizzes.

Hehman is a very entertaining prof who clearly cares about the material he teaches. Exams are based on a mixture of lectures, textbook readings, and podcasts, but a lot of the material overlaps (he doesn't give practice exams/questions, which can make it hard to study). Overall, the material is not terribly difficult, but there is a lot of it.

I loved Eric Hehman. The content was interesting and easy to grasp and the lectures were super entertaining. He is evidently super passionate about his research and I loved when he incorporated it into the lectures. As noted by many other people on here, the final was pretty tough but don't let that deter you from taking the class!

Good teacher but just study the textbook

He was such a fun prof and his lectures were entertaining but holy shit the exams... There's one midterm and a final then some weekly-ish quizzes but the questions on the exams are insane. His lectures contain maybe half of the info he expects you to know from the textbook. He needs a study guide or something so students can know what is relevant.

The midterm and quizzes weren't that bad. He was also an entertaining lecturer, but that final was one of the hardest exams I have ever taken. Just be prepared to read 500 pages of the textbook and  know all of the smallest details from. the lectures. I studied for weeks and still felt unprepared.

memorize the textbook and you still won't be fine
as if he put all of social psychology into a hat and randomly picks out of it to choose what to test us on
1 midterm of 40% 49MC, weekly quiz of 1% on 50-70 pages of the textbook, 35% final 50MC
you're on your own to learn the material, it's really obvious that he's paid to research and not to teach
