Pros: He knows developmental psychology
thoroughly. He is a divorce mediation
specialist and sees these issues on
a day by day basis. Tough yet very
humorous. Makes connections with
every day life
Cons: None. I wish we had more
instructors like him. His eccentricity
is really a turn-on
Follows the text methodically giving us a sense of the whole life span. Mandatory
if you are going to work with kids

Pros: very bright and out-going. Knows his
material. The quizzes and exams
are on course. No curve balls.
Has great rapport with students.
Looks hard but underneath a softy.
Cons: not much. Sometimes too lenient
when a student is unprepared
probably one of the brightest and most talented instructors at DVC. I wish he were a
full time faculty member so we could see more of him .

Bob is not the typical Psychology teacher. He has a personality. If you are going to take Psychology 215 (Needed for Psychology majors) I suggest you try Bob. He might look tough, but he is funny and easy going. He is looks a little messy and mean, but he is not. His curriculum is way simpler than expected. The work is not too difficult. You will go through about a chapter a day. There are a few passages/homework each day for homework and one research proposal for the end of the semester. The discussions are fun and engaging. He almost always ends class early. My only negative comment is he is constantly chewing gum which may get annoying if you get distracted easily.

He is a very easy teacher and nice as well. He always seem to remember people who have emailed him. You can easily get A's for this class. One tip is to take his classes with at least a person you know.

Good day to all. My name is Chris and I would like to share my experience with Professor Doerr. I've had the pleasure to take Psyc 210 and now 122 with Mr. Doeer. I never had teacher with such a caring heart and sense of humor like Mr. Doeer. I've enjoyed his classes and consider him a friend. He gives you plenty of opportunity to get an A. However you must do the reading and go to class. However some students in my class are very disrespectful and take his kindness as weakness. The guy is a Harvard graduate and has been teaching psychology for over 30 years. If you think your getting over on him think again. Peace to all and good luck.

I took this class over summer, and though boring at times, he is a good teacher. Some people say he is a bad teacher, but I think he just knows 90% of people taking this class are only taking it because it's required not because they really care. He explains key points but doesn't get to deep into any particular subject. You need the book for the class because you use it every class. We had 2 quizzes (USE THE INDEX CARD HE ALLOWS YOU!! OR YOU WILL FAIL QUIZZES) I forgot to make a card for the 1st quiz and totally failed it, I had one for the 2nd and got a B. There was a life situation paper that took little thought to write, and a take home final. Overall, I failed one test and barely tried on the 2 essays and still got a B.

Prof. Doerr's class was very easy. At first I thought it was hard, but stick with the class and you'll see how easy it really is. I took this class for summer. I wish I took it for a regular semester instead. We had 3 quiz and 2 essay. The essay is extremely easy. We had no group work, but Prof. Doerr does assign one section of reading to someone every night. You wont regret taking his class.

The easiest class that I have ever taken. Dr. Doerr is a wonderful person. If you want an easy class I highly suggest taking this class. If you want to actually learn you might want to look for another class. I ended the class with an A there are a couple quizes and two papers but they are simple. He gave us a review sheet before the quiz and let us have a 3x5 card on two. He makes the lectures interesting it is definetly not a boring class and trys to get people involved. He also ends class an hour early. pay attention in class and look over the vocab the night before and you will easily have a good grade.

Psychology 122, by Proffessor Bob Doerr is the best class I have very taking in my college career. The text book I will use all ways. This is a text book you will read over many time . when I am a teacher one day I will go back to the text book for review,I learned alot about myself in this class and Proffessor Doerr gets his student to help out in the class room It was fun going to his class and learning what is happering in this world we live in. Take the class and have lots of fun in Psychology 122. Bobbiana zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I was taking this class during the summer in between my schedule at a four year college. If this is what is available at a community college, DVC should be congratulated. This guy is easily better than the profs I had at ____________. It's not dumbed down or high schoolish. He respects us as peers. His Harvard education leaks out. Highly recommended.

Very unusal instructor. charasmatic yet open to discussion. corrects himself when occasionally wrong. Interesting self-relection papers and fair quizes. Very refreshing for a course that could be boring. One of the brightest and real professors I've had.

I took Bob Doerr's class after being out of school for many years. I found his style refreshing and was impressed with his Harvard- like intelligence. He was always very clear and entertaining. Very impressive.

A very bright and eccentric...like Einstein with his electric hair.. instructor who knows his subject very well. Engaging,funny,yet requires critical thinking. Very challenging

This was by far the easiest class I have ever taken. There isn't much to say about this professor because this class was a complete joke. We had two quizzes, no tests and the quizzes were open notes. Two short papers that as long as you made a decent attempt, you had an easy A and THAT's IT! This guy is very eccentric, but very nice and definitely makes his class an easy A. If you want to get your GPA up without any work, take this class.

Very easy-going guy and explains things like a real person instead of speaking like a textbook. One of my favorite classes ever. The class always showed and always got involved. The class really isn't hard but there is some effort and thought involved. Doerr talks a lot about his life/experiences which is not only interesting and funny but takes up a lot of time during class. Never boring!

Dr. Doerr makes lazy people look like scholars. For the most part, the students summerize the book and explain in class. Dr. Doerr of course adds some comments. I feel like I could have skipped more classes than what I did. If you can read the bold text in your book, your fine. Other than that, this class is just really boring. Drawing in a notebook is always a good substitute for this class.

he`s just cool. picture a big ogar with a weird sense of humor a green plaid 70`s jacket and wooden clogs!! the tests are a lil hard. they`re open note but you have a time limit so you cant rely on them. he makes the material pretty interesting and helps you out when you need it. i think he grades pretty easily gives you an extra point if you dont miss a class (but he doest take attendance).
