Reviews of professor Blake Phillips

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Phillips is knowledgeable in his field and the content is interesting! An easy course coming from someone not in psych and took this as an elective. The group quizzes may screw you over in the beginning but they all balance out at the end. Response papers were manageable and they give plenty of time to prepare for the midterm and final

Of the 2 professors who taught this course I disliked him more. We have a quiz every other week and him walking down the aisles and peering over our shoulders was hella stressful. If you don't want kids to cheat make it a paper quiz. Lectures were boring and I barely learned anything.

He seems like a genuine guy who cares about his students, but one look at the ridiculous courseload and you can see that isn't true. Talks a lot of game about students being "adolescents" and the "pressure of adolescence" but gives 5 30-page+ readings/wk, 5 papers due back-to-back, quizzes on those readings, and a quiz at the end of every lecture.

I took Prof. Phillips' class on Disruptive Behavior and I honestly loved it. I'm sure the concerns of the negative reviewers are valid but I had an amazing time - learned a ton + the material was super interesting. He was also always available for office hours. Papers very manageable, quizzes a bit tricky but nothing to be afraid of. Def recommend!

Blake was great! I loved his class. He's had a lot of experience in the field and is always open to answering questions. I highly recommend taking one of his classes!

this class is not at all what any of us expected. i wish POC taught this course instead of who is because they tend to lack any empathy for their students simply because of the name of the class. that is extremely unfair. not all of us reflect that reality; we're just interested

ruined my relationship w the class' topic. worst 2-credit experience at NYU. they're harsh graders and not very accommodating. they just want the class to get filled so their pockets are filled, too. do not get fooled this is not fun, the insight/knowledge u gain won't be willing or fun, u just learn from how reading/lecture/quiz heavy it is

I have no idea how he's score is this low, but this is an easy A class. Great professor with easy work. Only 3-5 sentences response every week. with 6 quizzes. Quizzes are super easy.

Professor Phillips was hilarious during the lectures, and I knew he would be during the first day that he wore his weed shirt to class. He responded to emails quickly and was immensely flexible and helpful when I couldn't come to class or take a quiz. Make to take good notes during classes, and you will succeed.
