TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE! I took him for Psych Stats and let me tell you he's terrible! The man will show up late to class, then waste 25 minutes talking about UNRELATED topics or his personal life. The course began in January and wed didn't take our midterm until April! I'd rather watch paint dry then ever take a class with this man! DONT TAKE

one of the best professors I have ever had. He made sure that everyone in our class fully understood any material he taught. If you participate in his classes and read the textbook it is an easy class to do succeed in.

Dr. C is a great guy. His class is very manageable. Do the work he assigns, it is not hard. He's not a harsh grader. If you follow the project outlines, you'll get an A. His reviews are exactly the test. Memorize the material for tests/quizzes and it is an easy A/B+. He tries to help in anyway he can and is very sweet. I would recommend!!

Comment:

He is the sweetest guy but his lectures are very very difficult to follow. You don't really realize what you need and don't need. Bring your computer to online shop or something the whole class and just be ready for the review for tests days and pay attention then. Thats my best advice.

He makes the class seem harder then it is. No one shows up really, his tests are from his review, and if you do go to class make sure you bring headphones to watch netflix or something. If you do his random assignments and occasionally participate, you'll get an easy B. He's a great guy, lets you hand stuff in late, not to harsh, take him.

Comment:

Dr. C is a literal bro. If you're taking neuroscience or drugs of abuse just show up and do your work and you'll easily get a C or higher. He goes on a lot of tangents and you have to study really hard for tests but he is the funniest guy and greatest human being I have ever met. You mostly have to teach yourself but if you're BNS hes all you got

Comment:

I've had Dr. C for 2 classes - Psych Stats & Medical Psych. He is such a nice guy but his classes are hard to follow. Participation is not required. He lectures the entire time. He writes his own books for class (about $100). He goes on rants sometimes which makes it easy to get lost. Exam q's are random. I got Cs in both (usually an A/B student).

He is a very nice guy and funny, yet his tests were extremely tough. You have to remember EVERYTHING. I studied for a week and still did poorly on exams. The homework credit though helps and his has how to videos on Facebook which I used a lot. Liked him, hated the class.

Dr. C is the absolute best professor I have ever had. He makes sure you understand the material and he is ALWAYS there to help you with ANYTHING you don't understand. He is a very intelligent and accomplished man so you will learn a lot from him. He is also the most understanding professor I have ever encountered. TAKE HIM. You'll not regret it

He's a really great guy and teacher. He really wants his students to understand the material. I've had him for 2 classes already and have already signed up for another one of his classes. He's super helpful and will without a doubt stop class to make sure everything is understood. His test can be difficult so make sure to ask questions.

Dr C is amazing ! I hate math, yet statistics is so easy for me because of this professor. Gives you the formulas on the tests and reviews before it.I Studied the hour before the midterm and got an A. Once again I hate math !!! Its an easy A. Yes he does get out of context, however it is still interesting. TAKE HIM !

Comment:

Not a big fan of this professor. He strays off topic very often... especially when the exam is just a week away and he is reviewing. He is knowledgable about Psyc, but if you are looking to learn and get an "A" this is not the class for you.

Dr. C is a very intelligent and helpful individual. love his classes. he has so much knowledge to share. tests are easy.a bit confusing material but interesting for the most part. if you study what he gives you, you will pass with an A probably. do not take schools of psych with him he goes totally off track.

I've had Dr. C as a professor for 3 classes and he is also my advisor. Hands down, one of the best professors I have ever had. The assignments are lengthy and usually awful, but I have always gotten As and Bs in his classes. Hard study guides, easy tests. Most intelligent man I have ever met. I love Dr. C!

Dr. C is brilliant and he has done some really cool things in his life and doesn't mind sharing them with you. He does get side tracked a lot and talks about other things besides statistic, but everything is still pretty interesting.He reviews concepts and test so many times it is impossible to do bad in his class. Just pay attention!

He is a good professor if you are a science major, but not psychology. He is extremely intelligent but does not do well explaining difficult concepts. I had him for psych stats-I worked HARD and got a D. There is a TA, mine was very helpful, but I had to go to him after every class-if math isnt for you, take prof cooper.

Dr.C is hilarious and a great teacher. If you didnt do well in the class, its because you were lazy. Just like any other class, you need to actually GO, do your assignments and study. I got a B+ because I worked hard for it. He also offers a TA to help with anything you're confused with. Anyone with basic math concepts and a calculator can pas

Ended up dropping his class- if you are not a math/science mind you should consider taking cooper. i did- its for kindergaterners much easier... but Dr.C did say, her class is useless and you wont learn anything. double edged sword. if for knowledge Dr. C- if for grade- Cooper.

Comment:

Interesting man. His brain is loaded with information on the most random things. Once you get him started he won't shut up. Has a suspicious obsession with LCD and cocaine...As a professor I would say he's poor as far as you feel like you learn more from the tangent discussions than anything he teaches. Hard assignments, easy tests.

Excellent professor, he takes the time to help if you're stuck on something. How can basic algebra be hard?? Calculating equations using multiplication and division is not rocket science. Not to mention he basically tells us everything that's going to be covered on his exams.
