Reviews of professor Richard Highsmith

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I loved Professor Highsmith. His lectures were very entertaining. Hes pretty straight forward, just get your work done on time and you should be fine. Would definitely recommend taking his class for PSY2012.

super critical on discussion posts but you'll get the hang of it. the class is just textbook assignments + chapter test + discussion posts. impossible to fail the tests unless you don't take notes but you can literally just have the textbook open in another tab. really interesting class if psychology is truly your passion. gives great feedback too.

One of the worst professors I have ever had. Hes adjunct, so youre correct in thinking that he could care less about your learning and his teaching. Very harsh grader; discussion posts were expected to be thesis papers, with harsh critiques if not. I did the work & pulled out with an A, but I am obliged to ethically warn others to STAY AWAY!!!!!!

Rick Highsmith is so nice! He gives you literally everything you need to succeed in his course. It's just a matter of getting the work done. He even "pre-grades" the discussions by telling you what to fix so you can get an 100% before he officially grades them. Just do the work and you'll do great. Always attend class and spend 1-3 hours on hw.

A lot of people have an issue with his grading. However, what did you expect? This is not a high school class. And honestly, with a little hard work and Grammarly, the course should be an easy A. Most of the students forget that not everything in life is handed to you. He's a great Professor and cares about student development.
