Derek Iwamoto PSYC262 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/21/2023	He's extremely boring and reads off the slides. The only thing that discourages you from skipping is attendance points, which is just writing your name down on a piece of paper. I dozed off so many times in class. Also, he started the group project way too late. We only had around two weeks to do it. Honestly, if you're a psych major who needs a theme II and/or multicultural requirement, you can take this class if you don't mind sitting through monotonous lectures. The midterm was all multiple-choice and pretty easy. There is no final, which is nice.
Derek Iwamoto PSYC262 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/06/2023	he seems passionate about what he's doing but the class had no structure and he obviously has his favorites. and his favorites always have the upper hand in everything. this class wasn't for me. i didn't learn much since a lot of it was very intuitive. loved the TAs though!
Derek Iwamoto PSYC262 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/05/2023	Extremely boring. He just reads the slides and doesn't upload them until after class. He also does group activities which were just answering a few questions on a piece of paper and those were his ways of taking attendance. Every time I went to class I had to resist falling asleep. Would've definitely skipped every lecture if it weren't for group activities. Honestly, most of the midterm questions were common sense if you have the slightest idea about race relations in America. Like, you could get a B if you didn't study at all. As an Asian American myself, most of the stuff I "learned" was kinda meh.
Derek Iwamoto PSYC262 Expecting an A- Anonymous 11/21/2023	this man is the best worst professor i have ever had. he is extremely rude and mean towards his students when you ask questions or for accommodations. all the work he talks about is his own, resulting in this class being ego driven. the midterm and the quizzes are impossible, material vaguely mentioned. if ever. TAs are the only thing making it tolerable. the only reason he gets even one star is he does very well at creating an inclusive classroom and a safe space, minus his nasty attitude. trust me when i say save yourself the trouble of him.
