Reviews of professor Travis Blackwelder

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This man is hilarious!!! He is such a caring and kind professor entirely willing to work with you. He makes the content interesting. Be aware that there is a lot of reading, but you can skim and still pass the class. In class he will focus in on specific parts from the reading and that is what will be on the test. Start working on the paper early.

This class was easy and time spent in class was mostly focused on learning APA format and tips on writing the final paper. There's also a final presentation but it isn't too bad and there's a lot of help. The TAs and Travis were helpful and provided good feedback. The lectures were a little boring but everyone in the class grew close together.

Professor Blackwelder is awesome and super chill, but the way the class is set up is pretty poor. There's too much leeway but then grading on the last paper is harsh. You're tested on things before they're taught, and lectures are boring and not always focused on things you'll actually be tested on. Content is great though, take from someone else

Travis is such a kind and caring professor. I'll admit that oftentimes, going to lecture felt a little pointless because there wasn't a lot to learn - we were just writing a paper - but the community among the students in this class is unlike any other. I would 100% recommend taking PSYCH 307 from Travis!!

Just an overall amazing guy with fun and straightforward lectures. All of the topics covered in this course are very interesting.

Worst class ever! I thought I was going to lose my mind. Class was so boring and pointless and he gave no feedback until the very end. His TAs did all the grading and he seemed unprepared for lecture so I really don't know what he did. He cancelled class a lot which was nice but he also cancelled meetings with us. Nice guy but terrible professor

Professor Blackwelder is an amazing professor! He really cares about helping you not only succeed in his class but in your future endeavors as well. The workload wasn't too much and the assignments were interesting. The final paper was graded pretty hard but there were also many resources shown to help you during the writing process.

He was sick for a good portion of the semester, but class was pretty straightforward. Slides are a copy of the reading. Tests are a lot of memorization but it is possible. Not the hardest class overall, but you do need to do the readings and fill out the study guides

Great professor! Most of the lectures were interesting and he was pretty clear about what is expected on papers and assignments. The final and midterm seemed stressful but the TAs went over everything that would be on the tests beforehand. Really enjoyed his class and would love to take another one from him!
