Reviews of professor Ty Brumback

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Okay so here's the thing with this course, he read straight from the screen 24/7. He does a lot of clicker questions which help your grade a lot! I didn't pay attention to his lectures very much, and had an average of 75% on exams, but ended with an A- in the class because of all the extra credit!! Seriously this course is worth it for the EC!

Super easy tests and lots of opportunity for extra credit. If you study and go to MOST lectures, you'll be fine. I recommend quizlet and most of his tests are based exactly on powerpoint lectures. Super nice guy and very passionate about psychology. Loved him!

Very nice and caring professor, learns your name and always smiles and says hello outside of class. Lots of homework and although attendance isnt mandatory you answer I-Clicker questions in class almost every day so showing up is a huge part of your grade. Lots of extra credit opportunities. if you pay attention and read the e-book youll do fine.

For starters you have to buy the book for an access code which sucks. He goes really fast so you have to keep up. The tests and quizzes are fairly difficult so study hard. Make sure you have a decent understanding of PSY before taking the class, because he isn't the best at explaining. Overall I would have done better with taking it online.

He's super laid back. Lots of extra credit. Meaningful but not hard homework. His lectures cover more than the book did, so I rarely read the book. He's very helpful if you miss a class or don't understand something. Learned a lot from him and I hope he teaches another class next semester. Highly recommend taking him!

Average amount of homework. About 1 assignment per week. Note taking every class along with iClicker questions you need to be present to do. All the answers to homework and exams are on quizlet.

Professor Brumback was a nice professor that was willing to help you if you reached out to him. All the homework assignments were easy because there were always quizlets for them. He offered lots of extra credit opportunities so definitely take advantage of them. Once you reach the amount of needed iclicker points you don't really need to show up.

The class was lecture heavy, but not unbearable. There are a few options for extra credit, and he posts note outlines on Canvas for each unit. Overall, this shouldn't be a stressful class

This is an insanely dense class. I spent hours upon hours studying for this class. There is no way you can absorb this much information, it's literally not possible. I have a 3.9 GPA, I am a good student, and this made me want to cry. He is not a bad teacher, it's just so much. I had to take the class, but if you don't have to I would recommend not
