Comment:

James almost elusively talks about love, hence his nickname, Dr Love. Which he holds up as the cause of all psychological malady, which is laughable. I have also known him to speak about topics that make people openly cry. Very uncomfortable. Tests suck too. Topics are case studies only, you wont be applying any statistics here, except on tests.

Comment:

Took him for both Systems Psychotherapy and Abnormal Psychology. Life changing course. He relates most of his lectures to love, but if you listen carefully, with an open mind, it makes so much more sense. A really great professor that genuinely cares for his students. It's like going to a private therapy session with him.

Comment:

Last semester here for systems of psychotherapy. I love this prof. He's definitely life-changing and sometimes you will not agree with me (maybe not at all) but if you listen to him with an open mind, i think anyone can appreciate his theories. His exams are really easy. If you really pay attention to what he talks about in class, you should get A.

Comment:

A LIFE-CHANGING COURSE! You must be willing to go in with an open mind. James isn't about science, its about the deeper things in life that seems to have been trivialized with advances in science and other areas. Yes, he relates EVERYTHING to love, but if you truely listen, you'll see it makes sense. This is one course I will never forget!

This man is a gift from above. His exams (including the final) are non-cumulative, he tells you EXACTLY what he wants you to know and tells you to highlight it in the textbook.

Comment:

GREAT PROFESSOR!!! Really probably the best professor I have had in my 4yrs in RU. Very helpful and insightful. He does talk about love a lot, but that makes the exams easier since you know what to expect. Gives great reviews before each exam. Goes through the texts highlighting what's important. Will def take again if I get a chance. Good luck.

Comment:

Outstanding psychology professor - like no other. Is one of only two psychology professors in the department with both a clinical and academic psychology degree, so is very experienced in both fields. Maintains his reputation as "Dr.Love", but most people will find his perspective on psychology unique and refreshing. Highly recommend.

Comment:

He's the man. Yeah, he does talk a lot about love and how everything relates to it, but who doesn't want to know more about the single most indescribable emotion? He still explains the things you think that DON'T pertain to love, like false memories and meditation. He's funny too. Exams are tough-80 Qs. Favorite class even though I'm not doing well

Comment:

He is the most condescending professor I ever had at Rutgers University. As a future educator you are supposed to teach from an unbiast view, but instead he teaches from what he has experienced. He never wants you to ask questions, especially regarding exams. Do not email him because he will respond back with an obnoxious response.

Comment:

"Dr.Love"...Great class if you want an easy A because he tells you "exactly" what will be on the exam, so even though it's not mandatory, you should go to class. On the other hand, if you are seriously interested in Psych, DON'T TAKE HIM. If it does not relate to love, you will not learn it (like the brain) and all notes are verbal.

Comment:

Dr. Love! His lectures are usually interesting as he relates almost everything back to love. He wants you to learn concepts, rather than hard specific facts. You HAVE to go to class or atleast have a friend who does because a major portion of his exams are from lecture. He goes through the text with you during class & tells you what to study!

Comment:

Interesting guy with interesting ideas. You MUST go to class to do well, but as long as you go, it's almost impossible to get anything other than an A. Tells you exactly what to highlight and write down to study. 3 non-cumulative exams that come straight out of what he tells you to highlight in the book. If you don't go to class, don't take him.

I highly recommend taking a class with this professor. For one, it's not a hard class; he'll tell you exactly what you need to know. But beyond just that, you'll learn many useful and valuable things about life from this man.

Awesome professor. He's class was fun & relaxing. No work at all. He tells you what to highlight in your textbook. You show up to class & listen to him lecture, which is actually enjoyable. Read the book before the test, study the stuff he told you & you get an A. Really fun and enjoyable class. He's really smart & experienced (he's a therapist).

best professor. class is really easy and he tells you what to highlight out of the book and says that its going to be on the test. I don't know why people don't like him. For the most part i went to class but skipped a few here and there and still ended up with an A, def a good professor.
