Dr. M'ski is a great guy! He's very laid back and he will understand any situation. He will work with you to get the grade you want and deserve. He gives you multiple chances for extra credit and he's very generous with "engagement points" in class. There is really no reason you can't get a very good grade in his class, unless you don't do the study boards. He's a great teacher and very funny. I highly recommend taking him!! He's great!

Very funny and entertaining. Makes psychology interesting and fun. Loved this professor. He was very helpful and always did everything he could to help anyone and everyone succeed in his class. The semester I took him, my class set the record for most A's in the psych 100 class. Easily my favorite professor that semester.

M'ski is the guy to take for intro psych. There is work due about every class period, but nothing you cant take care of in 15 mins the night before. Attendance isnt mandatory, but it is a good idea to go (at least at the start to get a feel for the class). The test aren't the worst either, just about an hour-2 hour study session before the exam will get you an A/B. M'ski is also always willing to help out and is a super guy, def recommend

Honestly, Dr. M'ski is the best professor on the campus of WKU. His passion for teaching and psychology is incredible and it is shown very much in his classroom. I would say that his class is extremely easy but only because I studied and put the effort into the class. There are a lot of assignments that you have to do so I would suggest a planner to sort them all out. His test are the best exams I have ever seen. That sounds crazy, right? However, it is not. They are constructed perfectly so that you can tell what he is trying to convey and understand what is being asked. He uses a lot of underlining and bolding which makes it even better. He offers tons of extra credit, which I believe he is a bit too nice with but the underlining theme is that he wants ALL of his students to succeed and he will assist you in any way that he can. He communicates very effectively. I know sometimes people are like I wish they would stop emailing me, however, I HIGHLY appreciated this fact because he kept us informed and on top of things.
I know that there is a lot of things thrown into one paragraph but simply put they do not describe how good of an educator Dr. M'ski is. I would highly suggest taking him. He makes sure you get a quality education. You can not say that for everyone.

This class is difficult but I really learned a lot. Dr. M'ski really cares about his students and wants you to do well. The lab reports were very challenging, but he gives you an opportunity to revise them. We had 4 exams- he gives out a review sheet for each exam and it really helped to answer each question on it thoroughly. The questions were very specific on the exams. There were 3 journal analyses over journal articles and again, he gave us the opportunity to revise them. Don't be afraid to ask for help. You definitely have to study hard but he makes you want to do well.

Ok this class isn't that bad. M'ski is willing to help you out a lot but he gives you SO MUCH busy work. When I had this course I seriously had something due every class period. It's easy work but there is a lot of it. Oh and not to mention, you will receive about 4 emails a day from him.

Dr. M'ski is a wonderful professor, he is funny and very knowledgeable. I really enjoyed his class. Overall there were very few boring topics, and the ones that were he definitely livened up. If you have any problems/questions he is very approachable. My class had two papers and notes were posted on BlackBoard. He also gave study guides before each test. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. M'ski is quick to provide extra help if you ask. His tests are difficult, but he provides a study guide that helps you know what to expect for the multiple choice questions. He also submits a "Consider This" worksheet to go along with the reading for each class. These aren't mandatory, but he sometimes gives extra credit if you do them. There are 2 short (3-5 pg.) papers he requires, but he provides the material you need to write a proficient paper. He offers a lot of appication to the lessons the class studies, so it makes it easier to remember the terms, etc. Don't be scared of the last name, he speaks perfect English! I left the class feeling like I actually learned something. I would highly recommend this course with Dr. M'ski.

The only difficult assignment was a group project you do with two other classmates. We wrote a paper and then made a power point and presented it to the class. The paper was the most difficult thing because it is hard to write a paper with three people. But it turned out fine and was fairly easy honestly. Dr. M is very nice and isn't strict on a lot of things. You use your book and notes for all the tests including the final. You have a lot of quizzes but you use your notes for those too.

Dr. M'ski explains the material in a way that is easy to understand. It helps to read the book, but he does post lectures online. The tests are kind of hard but he posts practice tests which really help and he gives some chances for extra credit. He is really nice and willing to help with anything.

Dr. M'ski is awesome. He has a very bubbly personality and has not yet developed the professor personality. He is young and amusing as a professor. He tries to be funny. He posts his slides on blackboard. His class was fun. I don't think he was a great lecture professor but if you study the notes, you can do well on his tests, they are very reasonable.

Dr. Mientalowski is new here at WKU... and you can definitely tell. Even though he is a really nice guy, the class is ridiculous. For a level 100 class, the material was absolutely overwhelming. There were only 4 tests, and 3 or 4 homework assignments, which means you have to do well on each in order to make a good grade. The one good thing about this class is that he has study sessions the night before the test that aren't mandatory, but I would recommend you attending. If you can find another professor for PSYCH 100, take them instead.
