Review #1 / Course: PSYC 3081 / Instructor: SPEARS W
He's a great teacher, laid-back and friendly. Study and you'll do fine. He sings sometimes and it's hilarious. Renewed my interest in Psyc. Let us out early too (3 hr course)

Review #3 / Course: PSYC 3081 / Instructor: SPEARS W
The class was interesting, but Dr. Spears was always talking about things that had nothing to do with the subject and some of his test questions were from out of nowhere. Take the class, just with somebody else.

Review #6 / Course: PSYC 2000 / Instructor: SPEARS W
Dr. Spears is AWESOME!! Take him if you have the chance. You have to study for his tests, but if you do they are pretty easy, all are multiple choice. He also gives you extra credit points that are added to your final grade.

Review #7 / Course: PSYC 2000 / Instructor: SPEARS W
Spears is hilarious and has the ability to make a 3 hour class enjoyable. The tests are a bit hard at first, but become easy when you get used them.

Spears was fun to listen to but beware of his tests. He had to drop our final because it was so poorly done.

Review #9 / Course: PSYC 2000 / Instructor: SPEARS W
Dr. Spears is a great teacher. He loves what he does, and makes class very enjoyable. Don't be surprised if he busts out in "Take me out ot the ball game" to wake the class up! Take him...he's hilarious!

Dr. Spears reminded me of the Dude. He was chilled out and funny, and the class is very interesting. Reading the text will get you an A, and going to class is a plus.

Review #11 / Course: PSYC 3082 / Instructor: SPEARS W
Save your time - this teacher is horrible. Gave us horrible tests that had nothing to do with the lectures and even told us that he had made some bad tests. He was never in his office and hardly ever responded to emails! Avoid this man
