Reviews of professor Kyle Forrest

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Forrest is my all-time favorite professor. I've taken him 3 times and I hope to take even more. However, he makes you work for the A and I don't think online is his strong suit as his in person lectures are AMAZING. Attendance is key because you don't want to miss a word, that's where the bulk of the info and exam are. Relies on slides online.

Exams count for 80% of grade, I felt like I learned a lot from this class but his exams are hard and he is a tough grader. Only accepts homework typed and physically turned in. Does not use canvas at all so most of the course is reading and listening to him talk during lecture but it is refreshing because he does not use PowerPoint.

This was mostly a self-taught class. While I dont doubt Dr. Forrests knowledge in the field, his engagement was severely lacking, and the heavy majority of your grade is dictated by 4 tests.

This class consisted of a weekly discussion, four quizzes, and a paper. The workload is light and easy, but I would've liked to have some communication and feedback from him. He did not care to engage with students and it felt like it was a lazily put-together class. If you are looking for an easy A take this class but don't expect good feedback.

I had an asynchronous class with Professor Forrest this quarter. I was super excited because the reviews he has are great. Maybe I would've had a better experience in person. I barely had any contact with the professor and the entire course was pretty much self taught by launchpad use. Super disappointed.

I loved personality theory with Dr. Forrest. I wish I could have taken his class in person, but online did just fine. He is a fair grader and the workload isn't too heavy. Midterms come straight from the course content so if you pay attention, you'll do just fine. Plus, the material was the opposite of boring. I enjoyed our textbook and lectures.

Fantastic professor. The class is entirely focused on understanding the material, his lectures are very entertaining and are effective at teaching the material. Pacing is very reasonable. Almost all of your grade is participation and tests, so if you focus on learning the material well you'll get a good grade.

I'll start off by saying that I am pretty much a straight A student, I've even gotten A's in the hard science courses. This class is difficult due to the concepts and his exams are worth 60% of your grade, on top of that he's a tough grader. But, going through the class was enjoyable and you learn a lot! Take it for the experience, not the A.

Thoroughly disappointed in this class. I got about 2 sentences from him all quarter. Lectures were all typed. Basically was self taught out of the textbook. Disappointed because I had my eye on this class for a few quarters and expected significantly more from it.
