I cannot say enough wonderful things about Prof. Colvin. He is easily the most approachable and caring professor I had at Northeastern. He is very insightful and always wants his students' input in class discussion. If you are present in class and ask for help if you need it, I think it would be tough to do poorly. He always makes time for studentsPSY400 2020-12-01 15:05:31 +0000 UTC
Very personable and wants you to do well. Will tell you exactly what he wants from assignments, so just do what he asks for in a clear and concise way and you'll do great. Lectures were a little boring to me, though. No textbook necessary.PSYC4616 2015-01-12 01:00:00 +0000 UTC
He is definetely the best professor i had in Northeastern. his courses are very interesting, fun and if you go to classes and do your work, you should not have any problem getting that A. also, he is very easy to talk to, and willing to provide help if you ask. overall, EXTREMELY recommended.PSY616 2008-12-20 00:28:35 +0000 UTC
Really horribly useless class. This material is what makes psychology look like it is baseless and totally made up. Really boring and uninformative too.PSYU400 2007-08-28 19:20:42 +0000 UTC
can't say i was a fan even though i took two classes with him. I never felt comfortable asking for help or participating in class. only good thing is you dont have to buy a text bookPSY680 2007-07-20 21:33:16 +0000 UTC

One of my favorite professors at NU. Material was interesting, he was funny and personable. He works well with powerpoint and textbook, easy A if you do your work!PSY400 2006-11-07 09:36:14 +0000 UTC
Great guy. Very personable. Really knowledgeable about his field. I would recommend him and this class.PSYC4616 2014-12-01 20:32:44 +0000 UTC
I had a lot of personal problems to start the semester so I started off doing really bad. He was very understanding and encouraging. Probably the only teacher at this school who knows my name, and one of the only ones I've given a positive comment to.PSYU400 2005-12-30 20:55:32 +0000 UTC
I thought that he was an awesome teacher, who you could tell that he was very interested in his own topics. He helped me understand a lot of psycho-babble that i normally hate. Terrific Teacher, would have him again if possible!!!PERSONALITY 2005-11-27 14:23:06 +0000 UTC
The class was wayyy too easy.. it was such a joke, i couldn't believe i paid for it.PERSONALIT 2003-12-24 10:43:13 +0000 UTC
He reminds me of Jack Nicholson too! I think he's great and he has good stories. The class isn't too hard. The quizzes are easy if you use his study guide. Good class!PSYU400 2003-11-12 21:43:24 +0000 UTC
