Reviews of professor Donald Bowling

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He's a little boring and he speaks on a topic he likes for a while, but I appreciated the discussions. Offers extra credit, just go to class, it'll be on a random day when not many students are there! 4 exams, 4 case studies (get to work in groups), drops one of each. No papers.

I've taken 2 classes, one in person and one online. Dr. Bowling is awesome in person and encourages discussion. He can get off topic, but prepares you well for exams that aren't too difficult. His detached online teaching style did not work for me, and I struggled more than in person.

Lectures are bland with a few engaging topic points. Explains things thoroughly. Responds to em fairly quickly. Book not mandatory, necessary to get an A. E-Book inside Launch Pad will do the trick & saves money. Case Studies were in group (yuck!), but he did make reasonable concessions. Would retake IF case studies switch to be taken individually

I would recommend staying away for Dr. Bowling if you are serious about psychology. The classes were chaotic and would go far off topic, so we only covered half the chapters we were supposed to. However, you couldn't skip to teach yourself because there was supposed to be assignments throughout which ended up being the last five class sessions.

I don't recommend this class unless you are serious about studying Psychology, as a major, throughout college. The class discussions are interesting, but he goes off topic and doesn't follow the reading or his PPT. This makes studying and learning the course material difficult. He changes his course schedule which throws everything off balance.

Hes great. Easiest class Ive ever taken and hes an actual psychologist with experience in the field. Hes also the nicest guy youll ever meet. I cannot understand how anyone doesnt get an A+ in his class...
