Mr. Graves is a cool teacher but extremely boring. I constantly wanted to fall asleep in this class. He is really funny though.

Mark Graves is the sweetest man and one of the best teachers that I've ever had! He's always in a great mood and is willing to help you if you need any help whatsoever. Every now and then he lets the class out early, which is a plus. You have about a quiz every week but it's online and not timed and you can use the text book and your notes. It's impossible to do bad in this class! I recommend taking this class if you're looking for an interesting, easy class!

You must use the book to do the quizzes online. If you do not have the book you will fail the quizzes which the quizzes are all of the answers to his exams. He offers a lot of extra credit and he has an amazing personality.

This class was good, other than the fact that the homework and quizzes took up a lot of time!! But i always made a 100% on the guizzes and the homework then a 60 on the test!! But im a horrible test taker, and his test are made harder. Attendance isnt mandatory but you get extra credit for it! I never missed a day and got like 15 extra points! Hes great and funny but im sure someone else is easier to take. --i didnt have to take final because i was happy with my grade--so its not mandatory--

Mr. Graves is one of the sweetest men I have ever met. He tries his hardest to make class entertaining. He is very understanding of things. Lets you out early if he's done lecturing, and cancels classes just because. His tests are straight from the notes, which are straight from the book. One assignment is due a week, on blackboard, and it is just reading a section of the book and answering questions.. It typically is about two pages. The exams are easy. He wants everyone to succeed in his class. All powerpoints are on blackboard. Attendance is "mandatory" in the sense that if you have less than 3 absences during the semester you get 20 extra credit points at the end.

I absolutely loved Mr. Graves. He gives you a quiz over every chapter that you read and also gives little homework assignments that you have to put little effort in. His tests are exactly like his quizzes, with just a few questions that are different, and are very easy. As long as you read your book, take a little notes, and do your homework, you will get an A.

Graves is a great professor! I highly recommend him! ALL of his notes are available on Blackboard in slideshows. I suggest printing them off and taking notes on them during class. His tests are exactly from the slideshows. If you take notes on them, and look them over you should do fine on the tests. He's pretty funny at times. He is very lenient when it comes to homework. All in all...if you are taking psychology, take graves. Easy class.

I love this course. It's super easy. There are five tests and an optional cumulative final. Attendance is not mandatory, but you do get bonus if you miss no more than three days of class. Studyboard is required (it is in every psy 100 class), and if you finish this early you get bonus points. Tests are all multiple choice and he gives an extensive review a couple of classes before the test. STAY FOR THESE!! Mr. Graves is great and I would defintely recommend taking him.

Mr. Graves is such a sweet man. I really enjoyed this class. The class consists of 5 tests I believe and that is all you do. If you miss 0-3 classes he gives you extra credit. For most tests he told us exactly what to study. He is excellent, take him!

Mr. Graves is an amazing person and instructor, he has a great sense of humor and provides plenty of video clips to go along with his notes. He takes attendance but only for your adv. if you miss 3 or less days you get 5 extra credit points, and if you miss more he doesnt care. You 5 exams and the final is not mandatory, you only have to take it if you bombed an exam. I would definitely recommend him to anybody.

I have never had a nicer professor than Mr. Graves. He spent the first two classes periods giving his life story (explaining how he got paralyzed) and it was very interesting. The class is super easy. You take notes off of a powerpoint every single class period. so it can get pretty monotonous, but it's worth it for an easy A. he is very funny, or tries to be (usually corny, haha)
the tests are completely multiple choice. there is no other homework. you don't even need a book. i haven't used mine once.
i recommend this class if you want an easy one with a nice professor.

Mark Graves is a cool teacher.. Just like any other PSY class, you have to have 4 study board credits. He gives notes everyday and you just take them from the power points. The 4 tests are Semi-easy. I highly recommend him to any student wanting to take him for psy 100!!

I have no idea how he is still alive (he will tell this story at the beginning of the semester) but he is a really good teacher nonetheless. He's got a good sense of humor, and makes class interesting. He gives extra credit for showing up so don't slack off in your attendance like I did. The tests are easy and as long as you keep up with notes and read the book you are fine. Take this class you will actually learn something!!

Mark Graves is an excellent teacher. He made the class fun by doing experiments and showing videos of the subject matter. The exams came from the notes and class discussion. He was a little hard to understand at times but overall I was glad I took his class. I made an A and didn't even buy the textbook!

I absolutely loved this class. Dr. Graves is so interesting and even though you take quite a few notes he tries to make it interesting while you do. He always has videos and funny pictures to make things easier. If he offers to stay after class and help you prepare for the test stay, you will do so much better.

Mr Graves is the best! he is a great teacher an a great person! you do have to take alot of notes... but they are equally splitt between days... and he puts them all on the overhead.. so you just have to copy down what he has. He will tell you about the pass sessions.. so go to them.. they will help you with the tests. Mr Graves is one of those teachers that want you to get an A!! he is so awesome! this class should be an easy A and you should learn something too!! I brought the book.. but opened it maybe once... so i wouldnt buy it if i were you.

This is the best teacher i have ever had in all 3 years of college! The class is extremely easy and Mr. Graves is hillarious. He does give notes everyday, but they are by powerpoint and if you follow along its really easy. Tests are pretty easy, he tells you what to expect. And he offers TONS of extra credit! I would advise you to take him if you dont like psych.

I loved my psychology class with Mr. Graves. He shows a true passion for his subject and loves to see his students excel. You take notes everyday from a Power Point presentation, but it's not that bad at all. The notes greatly help when studying. I ended up getting 22 points of extra credit at the end of the semester. After the last exam, I had an A and I didn't have to take the final. Mr. Graves is very inspiring as a teacher.

Graves is an excellent teacher. He kept class entertaining and was always conserned about his students. The book is not really required, but might boost test grades from a low A to a high A. I read for the first two test and made very high A's. The last two I didn't study at all for and made a low A and a B. There are 5 tests, and the lowest grade is dropped, therefore, if you have the grade you want in the class, you do not have to take the final. There are also 6 quizzes worth 20 points each and the lowest is dropped. If you complete the studies or article reviews required by the university in the first month of class, you recieve 10 bonus points and if you miss 3 days or less you recieve 12 bonus points. It is very easy to make an A in this class and not be bored to death.

This was a great class. Prof. Graves is the most genuine teacher I've had here at WKU. He's a great person. He's in a wheelchair and will tell you his story the first day of class. He explains the information well, and also provides a PASS teacher that gives you all the answers before the tests. The tests come strait from the notes and you don't even have to read the material because only 2 or 3 questions come from the book that he doesn't cover. There are tons of extra credit opportunities, and get your research credits done EARLY!

Dr. Graves was an AWESOME teacher! He really wants to help his students! The notes come straight from powerpoint and really the test are definitions. If you know the material you will be fine, he won't try to trick like most professors by putting stuff like, all the above or none the above. It's either you know it or you don't type tests! The final is not manditory, if you are satisified with your grade you do not have to take the final but if you do decide to take it, it's a cumulative final and he does tell you it is not easy! I recommend Dr. Graves for Psy. 100, it's an easy course and he is a very easy going guy! And as far as extra credit goes, all you have to do is go the research studies early and you get 10 extra credit point and also if you miss 0-3 absences you get 12 points added on as well! Very easy course, take Dr. Graves... GET AN A!!!!

The man is a living miracle, for starters (take the class and find out). His class was tough at times, but generally pretty easy. His notes come directly from the textbook, so unless you really need it to study, don't bother with the book. His tests are easy if you study, and if you attend the study sessions, you ace every test. Also, he's a sweet man, he loves to play jokes with the class.

Mr. Graves is an excellent teacher. There are a lot of notes to take, but his exams come right from the notes. You just have to study them. He does offer extra credit, and he is a very funny guy. If you need any help at all, he'll take the time to help you. The class is not very hard at all. If you're satisfied with your grade before the final exam, you don't have to take the final.

He doesnt like people to fail his tests so he gives extra credit EASY questions on some tests. You do have to go to class but it's not that bad. You dont have to take the final if you're happy with your grade. No quizzes and no homework...just study and you'll do fine. He's really funny and he keeps the class interesting. AWESOME teacher!

Mr. Graves is a great teacher! I thought that his class was very interesting and he is a really awesome person who is very knowledgable. He is not a hard teacher as long as you take notes and go to class. You can get extra credit points as long as you don't miss over four days. He is very easy going and his test are fairly easy. You do have to know the material, but as long as you do, it is easy. I give him an A+!

There are alot of notes, but Professor Graves is awesome! He has an incredible story to tell, and the man deserves alot of respect. Ok, the class is lecture and powerpoint notes, but the material isn't really tough, you just have to know it for the exam. There are 6 of them, 50 multiple choice questions, but if you do well, you don't have to take the final. If you miss 3 or less days, you get 12 extra credit points at the end of the semester. To get an A, I would recommend reading the book for the exams, and it's not that dry and painful. There's plenty of extra credit opportunities. He let me take a test nearly a week early because I was going on vacation the day of the test (yes, vacation!!) Professor Graves is fantastic, I'd take him again.

Mr. Graves rocks. This class was really pretty easy. All the notes come from Powerpoint. Just review your notes and make sure you read the book. Half of the test questions come from both. If you have 3 or less absences at the end of the year, he gives you 12 extra credit points. Take Graves!!

Graves is such a great guy. His class however is not. BUY THE BOOK. I studied with my notes and hardly passed the tests but when I read the book, I did much better. This class to me was very hard. I'm graduating soon and this is one of the hardest classes I've had at WKU. Test are way too hard for a 100 level class. Its not impossible to pass but try to take another class.

I HIGHLY recommend Graves as a teacher! This class was very easy. You don't really need the text book, but the study guide comes in handy. His notes are just the definitions from the book, but he actually makes the test questions from the study guide. If you have 3 or less absences, he'll add a couple points to your final grade too. He's a really awesome guy and he makes class fun! Take him if you can!

Mr. Graves is a wonderful person. He was a huge inspiration to me. You take a lot of notes from the overhead and YOU DO NOT NEED YOUR BOOK! Don't buy it because it's expensive and I haven't opened it up once. He says that you need it but his notes come directly from the book. He is really funny and I have learned a lot from him! He interacts with his students and he gives extra credit out like everyday! To him, being there is extra credit, literally! If you miss 0-3 days then you get 12 points extra credit! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

He uses a powerpoint to give the notes but he explains everything. His test are multiple choice and straight from the notes (a few from the book). Overall his class is well worth your time!

Every day you come into class you will take notes from power point, unless it is a test day. All tests are mulitple choice. He gives you plenty of time to copy all the notes, there are just a lot. He gives a little review before each test to help you sift through what notes to study. The tests are a little harder than I expected, even though a lot of people say the class is easy, you really do need to study a solid couple hours to get an A. He offers some extra credit. If you miss 3 or less classes, then he will consider a final grade of an 88-100 an A. don't miss class cause it is annoying copying all the notes you missed. You don't have to read the book to good, but if you want an A, you're almost gonna have to. He's a really cool guy though and has been through a lot.

This class was pretty easy. You have do study for the tests though. The tests aren't hard and it's all multiple choice. He's a good teacher even though he doesn't do much. All you do is take lots of notes off the overhead and he just reads them. You don't need your book, but there's usually one or two questions out of the book, but you can figure them out if you don't have it, I did fine. I didn't take the final but I think it's cumulative. Attendance is mandatory and you get 3 points at the end if you've miss less than 3 days. There's plenty of extra credit and it's easy. This class was easy, but you have to study for the tests. I highly recommend this class for anyone taking psychology.

If you attend class, take notes (which will be everyday except test days), and attend reviews (these are during class time) you will pass with flying colors.
You don't need you text book because of all the notes you take. I have attended every class and review session (he tells you directly from the test what you will need to study), i've reviewed my notes before tests, and as a result have received either a high B or an A on all tests.
The only complaint i have for this class is that Dr. Graves has on a few occasions slipped his opinion in where it should not have. He told his students to vote YES on the marriage ammendment the day before the 2004 election, which was highly unethical and could have cost him his job. Another example of his unethical behavior happened when he was reciting notes over Freud's Stages of Developement. When telling of the last stage of developement (Genital) he said that this stage was when a human being is attracted to the OPPOSITE sex. He stated this as if it was part of Freuds' theory. Dr. Graves did not state that it was his on opinion.
I was angered greatly by Dr. Graves' deceptive attitude toward his students.

Mr. Graves is an Awesome and the most sweetest teacher I have ever taken at WKU. He really cares about your grades and will help you in any way he can. Your allowed to miss 3 classes and it not count against you. Basically all you do is take notes and then the test are 50 multiple choice straight from the notes with some bonus questions. I loved going to this class b/c he actually makes it fun! I would really recommend him ....it's an easy A!

This class was a breeze. Professor Graves is somewhat of a pervert though, i've got to warn you. He once told me he would flip me over his knee and spank me because I didn't do an extra credit assingment. But he is a really nice guy and his class is VERY easy... I highly recommend him

Mr. Graves was a great professor. He wants to help all his students. He'll tell you exactly what to study for a test if you stay for the review, and he gives plenty of opportunites for extra credit. You do have to take quite a bit of notes, but you also learn alot from him.

He is a great teacher, the tests are pretty easy because he gives you a review which is straight from the test. So there really shouldnt be any reason to fail the test. Yeah there are a lot of notes but hey, at least you dont have to buy the book! But other than that the class is GREAT!

Mr. Graves is the sweetest man and an excellent teacher. All his notes are on the overhead and he thoroughly explains them. For the tests make sure you study hard b/c they can be challenging to remember 2-3 chapters worth of information. There are a lot of extra credit points you can recieve if you participate in some Psycology labs.

Take him if you need an easy class. There's six test total, with the final optional. If you do good on the test, you will do good in the class.

He is a good teacher and is funny. There's a lot of notes, but your tests are from your notes. The tests are hard, but if he gives you a choice to stay for a review STAY!!! It will help you out a ton!

Mr. Graves is a great psychology teacher, who knows his stuff pretty well. He makes the class fun and interesting with his jokes, and he is just all around a great guy. He is willing to help whenever it is needed, and is never sarcastic about it. To get an A you do have to keep up with the notes, but as long as you do that, you will be riding the A wave all the way through. His final is not mandatory, but it is cumulative if you choose to take it or miss one of his tests. I would definitely recommend Mr. Graves.

Professor Graves is an AWESOME teacher! He's funny, and he really enjoys what he does. He gives quite a bit of notes, but they are on the overhead, and thats what you need to know for the test. He tells you to read the chapters, but there aren't but maybe 5 questions on the test from the text. I would recommend Professor Graves to anyone having to take Intro. The other thing is, while attendance isn't mandatory, if you have 3 or less absences then he gives you 10 extra points at the end of the semester. He takes attendence EVERY DAY by sending around a sheet w/ everyone's name on it. Don't try to cheat by putting your friend's initials on there if they didn't come to class, b/c he counts the # of ppl in class, and checks the list to make sure they are the same! He's a nice guy, be good to him!

Mr. Graves is an awesome teacher. You take quite a few notes, but in the end, it's not to bad. He takes breaks and has fun activities for the things you learn. The tests are exactly what is in the notes. He is a GREAT GUY!!!!! I HIGHLY suggest taking him!

On some chapters we would take notes the entire class periods, others he would post them on the internet to be printed out. The note-taking is well worth the easy 50 question multiple-choice test. If you do well on first 6, the final is not mandatory. If you take all 7, lowest is dropped. He is truly one of the most inspirational and funny people i have EVER known or even heard of. take this class!

Mr. Graves class wasn't real exciting. It was, though, very easy. He takes attendance everyday so it's to your advantage if you go to class. He will round your grade up to the next letter if it's within two points if you haven't missed more than 4 days. All you do the whole time during class is take notes from the overhead. It definately is a waste of money to buy the book, although I think next semester the psychology dept. is getting new books. I think Mr. Graves is going to change the way he teaches a little b/c of the new books. He gives plenty of chances for extra credit....most of which is pretty easy. The tests aren't really that easy, but the extra credit makes up for it--and then some. If you like your grade, then you don't have to take the final. Mr. Graves is a wonderful person....and he's pretty funny sometimes. This is an easy A as long as you put some time into it.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO PASS THIS COURSE IS SHOW UP AND TAKE THE OVERLOAD OF NOTES. DON'T, I REPEAT DON'T BUY THE BOOK, I DIDN'T AND I PASSED THE CLASS W/ FLYING COLORS. IF YOU MISS 3 DAYS OR LESS HE ROUNDS YOUR GRADE UP IF YOU HAVE AN 88, 78, 68 ETC.IF YOU ARE SATISFIED W/ YOUR GRADE YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THE FINAL. HE IS A GREAT GUY, BUT HE ISN'T HE BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD. YOU HAVE TO STUDY THE NOTES HE GIVES BUT HE GIVES YOU A REVIEW AND THAT IS THE TEST.

OK it seems as though a lot of people get good guy and good teacher confused. He is the nicest guy and all that but really not a good teacher. All you do all day every day is take notes straight from the overhead which come straight from the book. And then he just reads them and gives an example if you are lucky. I really was interested in Psychology and looked for a lot more in this class than I got. If you take good notes don't bother buying the book. If you are looking for a class where you can just show up for the tests (there are 5 plus the final if you wish to take it) and read the book, take him. If you actually want to learn something don't take him. Enuf said.

Lot's and Lot's of notes. Don't bother buying the expensive book. You'll only use it once. Just ask to borrow another persons book. You take a huge amount of notes. But you are given the chance to get a lot of extra credit. He gives out extra credit like it's going out of style. Anywayz, Mark is a great guy and a true inspiration. His tests are pretty easy. I got a C b/c i didn't study much. But if you study the terms in the notes, your bound to get an A. Honestly. Mark is such great teacher. Take him. You won't regret it!

He is the nicest teacher at WKU. He puts all his notes on the overhead as he goes over them, and, before each test, he gives a thorough review of what's going to be on it. This class is awesome.

He is a terrific teacher. You take notes, but that's all you do... he puts them on an overhead everyday and while he talks you copy them down. The final is comprehensive, but you don't have to take it, it's optional depending on your grade. He gives tons of extra credit and is always in a good mood. I would recommend him to anybody.

Dr. Graves is awsome! If you take PSY 100 take him! You take a whole lot of notes but you get used to it and in every PSY class you will do that. The test are so easy and even if you fail every test you can still get a B just by extra credit. Besides the class being easy Graves is just one of those teachers you remember for the rest of your life, he is inspiring, and just an all around nice guy.

mr graves is an exceptional teacher. he gives u the notes on an over head and your test comes from those notes. he even gives a review and tells u EXACTLY what is going to be on the test. he is very sweet and cares deeply for his students. if u only miss three or less class periods he will improve your grade. ex: 88 B he would give u a 90. he will only do this though if its w/in 2 0r 3 points. Take him, hes great!

I highly recommend taking this class. Mr. Graves is an excellent instructor and a very nice, helpful, and considerate person. The only thing you do in class is take notes from the overhead while he explains them. There is alot of writing, but I got used to it, and I think it helped me remember the material better. He does an excellent job of explaining things. Tests are straight from the notes, so if you go to class and study the notes you'll do fine. There are plenty of opportunities for extra credit. Another great thing is that if you are happy with your grade at the end and you haven't missed too many days you don't have to take the final. I loved this class and I learned alot from it.
