Reviews for Selterman, D
Average Rating:| Anonymous Course: PSYC221 Grade Expected: A January 30, 2012, 11:50 am | Awesome guy! Really interesting teacher with fun anecdotes. Very fair, gives extra credit; if you have any problems just email him and he's more than happy to help! If you go in to his office hours for help or just to chill he gives you extra credit. just saying. His exams are relatively straight forward with extra credit opportunity on the exam. Exams are half multiple choice and about 6 short answer (meaning REALLY short answer. like 2-3 sentences) and doesn't usually take the whole class I personally never really read the book for this class; just go to lecture and make sure you listen to what he says because the stuff on the slides are just topics for most of it; he elaborates a lot more during lecture. He also does spot check participation during class...so go to lecture! |
| psychologynerd Course: PSYC221 Grade Expected: A December 26, 2011, 3:50 pm | -really nice guy, definitely cares about his students' concerns -gives out many opportunities for extra credit -posts ppt slides right before the class starts -slides aren't the most helpful slides I've ever seen since they don't give as much important information compared to what he says and what the books says, so READ THE BOOK and listen to him -grades fairly; exams are fair |
| Anonymous Course: PSYC221 Grade Expected: A December 13, 2011, 9:03 am | Dr. Selterman is the only professor I've had this semester that has been reasonable, efficient, and responsive to student concerns. Unlike many others he is actually focused on his students learning material in a way that will allow them to use it in their own lives. He's pretty good with having information about assignments and grades online on time, and is more than happy to help out whether it's during office hours or not. Selterman doesn't make you feel like you have to do everything perfectly--he makes it clear that so long as you work hard and put in effort, you will get a good grade, and he actually follows through with that. He is able to admit when he makes a grading mistake and fixes it on time. Class was fun and he isn't unreasonably harsh if you need to skip a few times for legitimate reasons. This class is the only one I even feel motivated to study hard for the final because I know it will pay off. Also, he gives pretty good life advice |
