Reviews of professor Denys Brand

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Almost no homework besides a few assignments due later. Offers easy extra credit opportunities. He reminds you what you need to do well before it's due. He's also very clear and concise, and is very open to questions. Class is lecture-heavy but it is VERY easy to pass as long as you pay attention and take notes. Professional with hints of humor.

To begin, I was excited upon signing up for this course & quickly regretted not taking this class with the other professor who teaches the same one. Sadly, Dr. Brand is not a very approachable person. Hes kind of a scary, intimidating man even when you ask for help- really upsetting. Not worth it. Time to explore a new route after giving ABA a try

Dr. Brand is great and very knowledgeable. He can be a little intimidating but I guess thats what happens when you're knowledgable! Caring and wants to see you succeed.

Great professor who is knowledgeable about psychology and makes it entertaining with relevant stories and videos. You don't need to buy the book. Studying just the PowerPoint will suffice to ace the 4 exams (Drops lowest exam score!). Weekly quizzes (unlimited tries). He gave a lot of extra credit near the beginning of the semester. Take his class!

Professor Brand is one of the best professors in the Psychology department. He makes lectures go by fast and has a great sense of humor. His exams are easy if you put some time into studying. He has a couple of assignments that are easy points as well! Take him!

Dr. Brand is a very good professor, he explains the material very well. But this class has 6 exams and 3 other assignments. This class involved a lot of work, definitely was not easy. He does offer extra credit, he announces the extra credit on random days, so its best to always attend class.

Fairly easy course, just make sure to study the lecture slides and you should be able to pass. He states that the textbook is mandatory however I did not need it as everything was in the lecture slides, so save your money. Clear on whats expected however most of your grade relies on 4 exams and 1 writing assignment, exams are all in the lectures.

Dr. Brand is extremely knowledgeable and kind, and is dedicated to the success of his students. The course itself is difficult, but he is always available to provide feedback and assistance. The coursework and grading is fair and his lectures are very interesting. By far, Dr. Brand is one of the best professors at CSUS and I highly recommend him!
