Reviews of professor Adam Putnam

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Putnam is the best teacher to take PSY201/202 with. It's inherently a hard class, but he makes it enjoyable (even if when we hated stats) and we always looked forward to class. Absolutely amazing lecturer and makes himself available to help his students (use his office hours)! All his (meme filled) powerpoints are on moodle - a big help.

Dr. Putnam is a very sweet and caring professor, however, his tests are hard. There are things on the tests that are worded weird or we didn't really go over. There is a hw quiz after every class and we have discussion posts that are really long readings and sometimes he doesn't tell you about them. He is really caring though.

Great professor, really easy as long as you show you're trying! Don't bother buying the book, he assigns reading but no one actually does it. I wrote the papers the night before and studied for the tests the day of and turned out fine. Just make sure you participate in class!

Love the guy. Awesome teacher, funny, really cares about the students and about psychology. Learned a lot about psychology. Tests are only difficult if you don't study and put in the work.

If you can take Dr. Putnams class. He is so genuine and caring. The class is mostly lectures but he makes sure to add group discussions and demonstrations when possible. The tests aren't difficult if you study and he is very easy to meet with outside of class. He takes the time to get to know his students and is the best prof at Furman!

This is just a hard class in general but Dr. Putnam is an amazing professor. There is a very comfortable learning environment and he explains things very well. I literally never went to his office hours bc he would answer all my questions in class. If you have to take this class, definitely take it with him

Very funny and engaging. Teaches the material well. It's a rough class with a lot of work but he makes the best of it and does his best to make it manageable. Very helpful in class/office hours but not forgiving at all when it comes to grading or making tests.

Dr. Putnam (Adam) is easily one of my favorite professors. He's charismatic and funny and puts a lot of effort into creating engaging lectures. His tests are relatively straightforward if you study well from his Powerpoints. Im not a psych major but his class really got me interested in the subject so I would highly recommend.
