Reviews of professor Jacob Appleby

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
His tests were 30 multiple choice with questions on readings we never discussed in class; these tests counted as 25% of our grade. I might have done better in the class if the tests weren't so short. His lectures were very monotone and were not engaging enough. This has the potential to be a better course with this material.

Very easy grader, almost to a fault. Every test had extra credit opportunities and was very representative of the material presented in class. He will also post notes on Canvas so not many people show up to class, but he's a great person and teacher so they should! Very caring and understanding.

Dr. Appleby really cares about his students and is very passionate about psychology. His lectures can be a bit dull, just because it is a 50-minute lecture, but it is the only way to get the information across. Exams are pretty easy as long as you read the textbook.

Such a nice guy. Really cares about his students. If you put in effort you can do well.

by far the EASIEST and best intro psyc professor. super chill and relatable. tests are pulled directly off of the class slides which he posts. all you have to do to pass is go to class and make/find quizlets based off his slides. such an easy A. lots of opportunity for extra credit. i never got above an 87 on a test in his class and got a 94.

Lecture style uses a lot of examples (so he talks a lot) but his voice is monotone and can be very boring. Tests are only 30 questions each so it is easy to score low. He is however, very willing to help during office hours and provides extra credit. Heads up, he uses tophat and article "hw" readings as attendance once in a while.

I had him for intro to psych first semester this year and liked him so much that I am taking social next semester! He is very funny and approachable and replies to emails pretty fast. He really wants the best for his students-totally recommend!!
