Reviews of professor Michael Steger

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Funny and very knowledgable, as well as approachable. For PSY 300, Positive Psychology, the exams are very hard, but the workload is pretty manageable other than that.

Awesome teacher, can be relatable and incredibly entertaining. Can go off on tangents & doesnt really follow notes so the 2 exams are a struggle The main goal of the class is change a behavior in your life to make you a better, positive person so this class can really change your life for the better and most of the grades are based off the project

Such an understanding and fun professor. He is clearly very passionate about what he teaches and cares deeply about students being engaged. Tests can be difficult, but reaching out to him or a TA/going to office hours will be super helpful. The course content is also super intriguing and there are point opportunities in class. Loved the class!

senior in college 3.5 gpa, this is the most ridiculous class I have taken by far. Made up of 4 big exams (104 pts each), 52 questions in 40 minutes. Other than that, just three papers that are 16 pts each. Don't recommend if you care about your grade, or struggle with tests. No way to pass with higher than C without excelling very well in exams.

I don't recall him participating. Almost no interaction with the instructor or classmates. Materials are dry - lectures from another source or made by TA reading a script and/or unfamiliar with the topic. Key names/terms are mispronounced. In Steger's Ted talk, he is passionate. This course could be more interesting with his participation.
