Reviews of professor Fritz Breithaupt

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
i took this class thinking wed learn about empathy but we really didnt. he talks about a lot of random stuff but just do the readings and the group project at the end and youll be fine. i would say going to class the first couple of weeks matters but after that they dont teach much and in discussions you kinda just play games.

Very passionate, German accent was not an obstical. Uses huge gestures that keep you awake during lecture, cold calls and keeps you engaged. Very enjoyable class atmosphere.

I thought Fritz did a great job of making learning engaging and interesting. It is very obvious that he cares about his students. Fritz wasn't the best at time management and grading wasn't always clear. It was very stressful with our huge final project. We weren't made aware of deadlines and had to rush to collect data and create project.

Class was fine, definitely one of the easier classes if you need a colloq credit. He tries to make you buy his own book when we can get a pdf copy for free through Project Muse (IU gives us access to that through our technology fees). Don't buy the book, take notes on the lectures, and you'll be fine.

Very good into to college professor. Cares about current events and his students. Not very clear with instructions and poor time management.

Fritz seems to be nice and accommodates students very well. Grading does not seem to be a priority as we did not receive most grades until the end of the semester. I was very excited about this class, but I do not believe I have learned much in this class.

I took his Empathy class in the summer and it was great! He made the transition into college very easy and fun!

Fritz is a wonderful person and a great professor. Learning came easily and naturally in the class and I really enjoyed it overall. I would 100% recommend taking his class. I am not a science person but I found his cognitive science course super accessible.

One of the kindest and most interesting Professors at IU

Lots of reading but it was interesting stuff. He is super smart and a great professor, but he wasnt very accessible (I took this class online and he often took several days to respond to emails, if he responded at all). A bit unorganized but overall a good professor and class!
