Comment:
Dave is by far the most exceptional professor I've had in the entirety of my college career. Taking PSH-441 with him was a life-changing experience and cultivated my interest in connecting neuroscience with human behavior. Dave is highly intelligent, engaging and fosters true curiosity when he speaks. He is truly one-of-a-kind.

Comment:
To be semi-exact, Dave a more than your usual beautifully sufficient instructor. Due to some reason,he is an excellent instructor. This description could be explored further, but in the interim, I honored and privileged to have taken Dave's course. Also, it is apparent he has either the superpower of seducing fruit or communicating with fruit.

Comment:
Pompous. No outlines/guides for notes/tests. Group project is a joke. Expect short answer + essay format tests. On the plus homework's are straightforward and easy in comparison to every test in this class. No book required and highly discouraged by prof. - wish there had been one. Didn't know what to study!!! Grades on a curve.

This professor was the instructor in this class which he taught well so we could learn the material. Not many tests and two short papers only need to do about 2 hours work outside class for whole semester cuz no book

Comment:
This was perhaps the easiest course ever, in large part due to Dr. Abwender's clarity. His lectures are direct, to the point, and often memorable. He excels at placing tough material into students' grasp. Tests are easy if you pay attention. Highly recommend, especially if you need an easy or chill class to balance out an otherwise tough schedule.

Dave is the type of teacher that will take something complex and make it very graspable. He is clearly brilliant yet never pretentious, and his lectures are worth paying to go to. He provides real life examples and metaphorical analogies that facilitate comprehension. His teaching philosophy is on point and his text is actually very helpful.

He was by far my favorite professor at Brockport! I loved health psych and wished I had taken it earlier in my career. I would have taken more courses with him. He was very interesting and knew the subject very well. His real world examples helped with the material. Don't bother getting the book. You must attend the lectures to pass.

Brilliant professor, patient, loves tough questions. He just pretends he's mean but he's a teddy bear. You don't have to attend class, unless you want a good grade. You don't have to read the text because he is so thorough in class, but if you want an A, it's a good idea. You must study tho.

I LOVED this course! It is somewhat tough, especially if you have no background in neuro, but it's definitely doable. Dave keeps every class extremely interesting & enjoyable. Be sure to attend EVERY class & take really good notes b/c his weekly quizzes and tests will trip you up if you don't have a full understanding of all of the material.

He is brilliant. Go to every class because he doesn't use textbooks. His lectures are the most interesting and informative I've ever had. Tests are difficult, but you will get more than your moneys worth for any of his classes. He's also very funny and has a lot of professional experience so he is able to relate his lectures to real experiences!

He's tough but everyone ends up getting good grades in the end. Don't let him or his fake curve scare you. He just pretends to be mean.

Doesn't take attendance but tests are all based off in-class notes; and they're pretty hard. One easy group project. Uses a really annoying voice to drill in material and forces his opinions about the world and religion on you. The class average was probably a C.

He is a very brillant teacher. He's lectures are never boring and he has lots of funny tangets to keep you interested. However, he doesnt give you much guidance on tests. As long as you come to class and take pretty decent notes you can pull a B but you need to know the material better-maybe reading a text book would help?

I had Abwender for health psych and psychopharmocology and he was definitely my favorite professor! I really wish there were more professors like him. His classes are REALLY interesting. He goes on random hilarious tangents once in a while. His tests are pretty hard, but if you go to class and go over your notes before, you'll do fine
