Reviews of professor Michael Steger

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Horrible teacher, clear that he does the bare minimum as a professor. Recorded lectures were always muffled and hard to understand. Our entire grade was made up of just two hard exams and three easy papers. Does not reply to emails and when he does, he is sassy and makes you feel stupid. Chapter readings never followed material covered in lecture

One of the most beneficial classes I have taken. This is the first class I took where I felt like I could apply the information to my real life, it felt like the first class where I will be using this info with my for the rest of my life. The exams are very hard though, so be ready for that. I love this prof and this class!!

I loved professor Steger. I had him for a few classes and he really does care. I think this semester has him challenged him a lot though. I had him online over the summer and it was totally fine. He really wants you to understand yourself and others. and tries to help you live a better life. But you do have to work for it.

He's really passionate about what he teaches, and it's clear in classes that he cares about keeping his students engaged. He is also very inclusive with the material in class, which I appreciated. The tests aren't hard if you use the study guide and the assignments are all about how to find happiness. This was one of my favorite classes.

Definitely the most interesting class I've taken at CSU. He spends most lectures rambling about very random and hilarious things. It's great, but the issue is that then you get little lecture time and it is hard to pass the tests when your notes say "spent the entire class yelling about how cynical he is". Fun but not worth being on a waitlist for.

online summer course, 4 exams, 3 papers, 4 extra credit quizzes (5 points each). There were a few questions on the exams from content we had not discussed yet. For the papers, we had to watch a show about a mental disorder and then write a reaction paper on it. Pretty easy and straight forward. Professor and TAs would get back to me within 32 hours

Grade is made up of few assignments, no discussion posts, projects or homework. Do poorly on one of the two exams, impossible to get your grade up. Inaccessible to contact and rude when he does reply. Showed little effort in setting up the class + engaging w/ students. Consistent lack of communication for any of the assignments/exam expectations.

Exams are completely different from what you've been studying in class.

Class was very engaging and Dr. Steger makes it to where you actually want to show up. He's really passionate about what he teaches and encourages opinions whether it be related to class content or not. There are some long articles to read but still very manageable. Overall I would take this class again because you learn a lot and he's funny.
