| course : | PSY 311 |
| course rating : | 3 - Good |
| course comments : | The material is interesting because it pertains to your everyday life. Everyone could stand to take this course. Lots of it is common sense [which is a big help on the tests, naturally] but you will still learn enough about yourself and other people and why everyone does the things they do to make class worth attending. |

| class comments : | I personally didn't follow him in the book. If I had it to do over again, I would've taken the course with someone I know and shared a book. |
| instructor : | Nacoste |
| instructor rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| instructor comments : | Nacoste has a very booming voice. If you are impatient, you may want to pass on this instructor because he will tell you EXACTLY what you are to write in your notes and he will repeat it 4 or 5 times to give everyone enough time to write it down.
If you like a good story, and if you like for profs to incorporate personal anecdotes, you'll like him. |

| instructor comments : | This was hands down, the absolute best teacher I've ever had. He is one of the few teachers that actually made me WANT to come to class, just to hear what he was going to say. He let you know exactly what you needed to know for the tests, and he has some very interesting stories he would tell every once in a while as well. |

| instructor comments : | One of the best professors at NCSU! He is this big, creole man with a really deep "James Earl Jones" voice. He can be intimidating, but extremely helpful and friendly outside of class. He demands repect for each other in the class, so do not talk or sleep, but if you do ask a question, he always thanks you for asking. He is humourous and keeps the class interesting. |

| class rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| class comments : | Class was great. He used profanity and you really learned a lot about life from this class. His stories were great and he did a great job of relating the material to life in general and to college students. The class was 3 exams and a paper, which was one page on what we learned in the course. The exams were kind of hard and the book did help in learning the material. He would repeat definitions and stuff you needed to know for the test like 5 times so you didn't miss it. |

| instructor comments : | This guy is one of the best, most interesting people I've ever met. He articulates every idea to perfect and tells you stories about his life that make you laugh and cry. Definately take him if you ever have the chance and it might even change your life. |

Attendance wasnt required, but I wanted to go to every single class to be sure I didnt miss anything. The teacher was extremely knowledgeable on his subject matter, and not only kept the class interesting, but made me WANT to attend regularly. Class usually got out 10 minutes early. No outside work e/c for a one page paper that was very easy. Tests are all multiple choice and VERY easy if you att |

| instructor comments : | Dr. Nacoste is the best teacher I've had at NC State. He has a huge booming James Earl Jones-like voice, and a very big presence. He's kind of intimidating on the first day, but as long as you follow his rules, he is very nice and has a very good sense of humor. Very knowledgeable in various psychological subject matter. Makes class extremely interesting and makes sure to apply material to every day life. |
