Reviews of professor Brendan Depue

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Best class I've ever taken. He really just wants you to learn the material and understand it, not memorize and test you on it.

I took this over the winter, and it didn't affect my break at all. As long as you complete your work, you should get a 100 on everything. The final exam was the only thing I missed points on. The labs were also easy but time consuming. AGAIN THIS IS OVER THE WINTER, NOT NORMAL SEMESTER. NORMAL SEMESTER IS DIFFERENT.

Cool guy.

He went off on tangents all the time, and his test were really confusing since he doesn't actually make them. Nice, funny guy but not a good professor in my opinion. Also, there was always so much wrong stuff on his powerpoints that was so confusing. He doesn't write his slides or revises them before class.

He did very well at explaining concepts I was afraid would be too difficult for me. However, only exams go towards grades. He also was very rude at times and harsh about fairness of class when multiple people brought up concerns after one test had very few questions on it.

Professor Depue was by far one of my favorite profs ever! He's so intelligent and really cares about the students in his classes. The course is pretty difficult for it being a pyschology course but if you are willing to dedicate the time to come to class, read the textbook, and study for a few hours for each exam you can get an A no problem.

He's pretty cool or whatever. Attendance was only mandatory on Wednesday's for a simple participation quiz. One test and a final, but the final isn't cumulative. The quizzes are mind-numbling easy, tests are typical psych core requirement style questions. Gives opportunities for extra credit too.

He is super laid back and just a go with the flow kinda guy. There are weekly 2 question quizzes that are 20% of the final grade, no homework, and 2 exams that are worth 40% each. Not as scary as it sounds. If you go to class and take notes, easy B+. If you want an A read the chapter over the material. He always answers questions in class.

Dr. Depue was so laid back and chill, and accommodating during COVID-19. He really wanted you to come to class and participate and would even call on you to answer questions, but the homework and tests were easy. The only points came from 2 tests and mindtap homework and everyone got an A. Minimal effort and still learn a lot. He is kind&funny!

I had a really fun time with this class, took it as a prereq to PSYC 355. The labs are really cool and helpful, def pay attention though!
