Reviews of professor Ben Dyson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The psychology of board games was fun and overall interesting. There were a few easy ways to boost your grade like through participation (you just traded cards with other classmates throughout the term). Two quizzes that were open book and online, albeit with some difficult questions (make sure to know game rules!). The two papers were difficult.

Great professor, responds to emails quickly and gives detailed personal explanations as to what your mistakes were on quizzes. Overall an amazing professor, highly recommend!

He was great, lectures were engaging, tests were not so hard if you attended lectures, 14% of our grade is free points if you interact with the online labs. The written assignment with 1k word max and worth 22% was probably the hardest part of the course imo. Just attend the lectures and you should be good for the online midterms and online final.

TAKE IT! This class is an easy A and Dr. Dyson is one of the most understanding profs. You get a free 10% for doing the short, weekly online labs. He does ramble sometimes tho but I didn't find that to be too much of an issue. The exams mostly test straight off his slides and he also makes exams online and open book to make it easier on students.

Dr. Dyson just wasn't for me. In-person lectures were difficult to follow and had to rely on the textbook and pre-recorded lectures to get through the course. The written assignment required so many things to be implemented with so few words in the word limit. The only positive was that 14% of the grade was participation.

This class was extremely easy. Dr. Dyson is hilarious and makes his classes super engaging! Everything was open book, and he gave us free marks just by participating in small labs (all online) weekly. Definitely take this class for a GPA boost.

In my opinion a great introductory class to university level courses, being taught online along with being mostly open book, with tons of easy marks scattered around. If you're even slightly interested the course will be very digestible with how this prof explains and connects concepts during the once a week synch lectures.

I have taken a couple of classes with Professor Dyson now and he is a great prof. His test are online which is fantastic considering the amount of material needed to remember. He always puts a personal spin on his lectures and make they very interactive. Great prof.

If you take notes on the online lectures along with the powerpoint you'll do just fine, take notes on specific experiments mentioned in lectures, weekly seminars are useless though
