Reviews of professor Theodoric Manley

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Throughly enjoyed the lectures, articles, and assignments from Professor Manely's PSY 4650. Although he is more of a tough grader, i'd say his class is worth it if you genuinely want to learn more. Make sure to show up for class and complete the assignments - the professor gives plenty of extra credit opportunities as well!

Professor Manley is very organized and honest. The course consisted of two essays, a midterm, a presentation, and a final. He also included extra credits, which I recommend you do.  DONT procrastinate on your essays. He's very helpful and clear in his instructions, and will definitely clarify something for you if you need help.

Professor Manley is very informative, kind, and has high expectations of his students. His lectures and reading assignments were very interesting and complex so stay organized and take excellent notes. The syllabus clearly states what the class is about + all due dates so keep up and participate! otherwise you will have a hard time.

I'm sure he knows a lot about his subject but I don't think he teaches very well. Unengaging lectures. The layout of his class and specific instructions for essays and group projects confused me even after asking clarifying questions. However, it is an easy A because he gives out a lot of extra credit and the assignments are easy.

Professor Manley is very kind and clearly cares about his students. He makes grading criteria on assignments clear and is open to answering any questions you might have. He wasn't a tough grader in this course but there are LOTS and LOTS of presentations. They're easy, some are by yourself or with a group. Overall, a 9/10. Don't procrastinate too!!

Avoid if you can. Expectations are way too advanced for the course level and lacks empathy and always has to be right.

This was an absolutely horrible professor. Please avoid this class with him at all costs. He provides very vague rubrics for grading and then proceeds to down-grade students on things he never included in the rubric. Never ever take him for your GPA at least.

The class is very demanding & there is a lot of work but it is a 4000 level class so that is to be expected. There is 1 mid-term paper, a book report, one final paper, & a group project w/ small assignments in between. HE provides all the questions for the big assignments at the beginning of the semester, take advantage. He always answers ppls Q's.

Horrible class, there were a total of 3 assignments meaning they were graded heavily. He expects way too much from the students. The work load is ridiculous, last 5 weeks of the semester he expected us to read a book per week(each book about 400-600 pages). Avoid at all costs!
