One of my favorite classes I've taken. Incorporates Modern Family episodes in class which is just a bonus. His lectures are so cool and interesting and I loved having him. His tests are open note and pretty straightforward. Participation is also online in addition to in class which helps a lot if you don't love speaking up. Would def recommend!!PERSONALITY 2026-01-06 21:22:32 +0000 UTC
Sharp is a great guy, interesting lectures that could sometimes be long but that's the nature of a 1.5-hour class. TA is great as well and holds review sessions before exams, which are open-note. Attendance is mandatory, but has options for Top Hat/BlueSky participation so you don't need to speak in class if you don't feel comfortable. I recommend!PSYC3400 2025-04-22 19:42:01 +0000 UTC
i loved his class and would take it again if i could. His assignments were based on 7 modern family episodes.PSYCH3400 2023-04-26 16:22:53 +0000 UTC
I loooooove him! He's the nicest guy on campus!PSYC4666 2022-12-08 19:23:43 +0000 UTC
He was very nice, but the class was high school social science at best. I wish the class was taught at a higher level. Lecture heavy and quite boring. Though, again, he was super sweet as a person.PYSC3400 2019-07-22 04:10:48 +0000 UTC
Best teacher I ever had, went back and had him for multiple classes. He changed my life!COUNSELING101 2015-11-22 10:13:40 +0000 UTC
Favorite professor EVER. Classes were interesting and funny, as well as engaging and thoughtful. Really felt like I learned the most from Dr. Sharps classes. I recommend taking any class you can with himHDP220 2014-04-29 09:25:38 +0000 UTC
Never on time and all over the place. He is not worth the cost to take a class at this school. I learned nothing. He creates online tests that malfunction. One time everyone got a 35% no matter how well they knew the information. Frustrating. He is a nice guy- but he phones it in.PERSPSYC 2013-01-10 09:46:41 +0000 UTC
Guys, he's a pookie, a therapist, and a best friend all in one. Might be the best professor I've ever had, his lectures are so good and it's pretty easy to be interested in the class. There are 3 quizzes and 3 tests but they all follow the lectures exactly, and we get to watch Modern Family in class. I'll miss Pookie Sharp next semester :(PERSONALITY 2024-11-20 17:35:35 +0000 UTC
Really interesting class and not too difficult as long as you go to class. Dr. Sharp was great!PSYC3400 2025-04-16 23:08:01 +0000 UTC
Best professor in all my college years. Took personality and seminar in clinical psych with him. Fascinating man, learned so much from him!PSYCH3400 2014-11-19 15:58:38 +0000 UTC
It's funny, I now go back and see all these comments about how he changed people's lives. That's exactly what he did for me, too. By far the most influential professor I have ever taken, and entirely changed the way I thought and lived. He makes you conscious; he challenges you to be self-aware. Take him while you still can.PSYC4666 2015-12-09 08:24:08 +0000 UTC
The best professor I have had to Northeastern. Listen in class and you'll be fine. All tests are online. Very interesting as he relates his class to his work as a praticing psychologist.PERSONALITY 2015-04-02 11:45:41 +0000 UTC
Genuinely is interested in the material and it rubs off on the class as well, everyone participates. The lecture is actually interesting, enough that I don't do other work in the class I genuinely lock in and just listen for the hour forty. Has three exams through the course, online can be taken from 8am-8pm for one hour.PSYC3400 2025-04-14 20:11:50 +0000 UTC
Prof. Sharp reminds you why you pay a fortune for a good education and makes it worth every penny. Will never forget some of his lessons in Personality this semesterPSYCH3400 2013-04-18 06:41:26 +0000 UTC
