Comment:

i think Dr.Clement is sooo awesome. The info he taught in human factors was really interesting! in this class, attendence not mandatory (but useful), there was case studies you evaluate for an easy A (if you listen to him) and have a fun easy presentation at the end. I highly recommend Dr. Clement if you want to ACTUALLY learn something!!!!!

I thought he was a horrible teacher. Never talked about anything relevant. You can barely hear him in the class and he jumps from one topic to the next without any connection between topics. Study Hard

Comment:

Really boring class; however, i was one of the few that thought he was hilarious. attendence isn't taken and there's no homework. go over study guides and study a little for the tests and you'll be fine. I recommend taking this class unless you are very dependent on the professor giving you all the material you should know.

You have to read the book, otherwise you will be lost. I never made above a 70 on the tests but I did all the possible extra credit and got a b so its not that bad.

dr clement was really nice...he kinda rambled on a lot but he did make some pretty funny jokes..class was all lecture..attendance isnt mandatory until after the 2nd exam and you never have hmwk..go to SI sessions (they make tests easier)

Comment:

The class is definitely challenging and he goss off on tangents. Sit in the front of the class, take notes on the chapters and read them. Go to the review sessions right before the tests. It's definitely possible to pull an A and hes a nice guy- definitely amusing.

Comment:

He looks like Santa Claus, and talks like he was one of the 70s' LSD users. I would go to class, either sleep or jot down his "outlines". I often just skipped because he rambled too much and I wasn't taking good notes. The book is very useful for tests. His hot topics don't cover everything, so read the covered chapters well. I'd take someone else.

DON'T GO TO CLASS... ONLY TO TURN IN YOUR PROBLEM SETS (EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE TESTS), GO TO LAB AND SI, AND YOU WILL DO GOOD. I ONLY USED THE BOOK TO GET THE TABLES AND ASKING HIM QUESTIONS ARE USELESS!!

Comment:

huge class, no one pays attention except the front 2 rows. looks like a cracked out santa. plus he doesnt make sense in class, or outside of it. i missed a test one day and had to walk to office with him after class to retake it and he was still rambling about something off topic. just go to SSI and youll at least know a few things for the test

Comment:

He always goes off on tangets, however his class is simple. I only came to class for exams and to turn in HW, which are harder versions of exams. SI and lab were the only factors that has contributed to me getting an A or a B+, take him over Wedell!!!!

Comment:

Doesn't take attendance, and lectures about random crap that won't even be on the test. Sometimes it's interesting, until he is still talking ten minutes after class ends. Tests are EASY as long as you get the study guide, and can respond to the situational questions he gives.

Comment:

Proff. Clement is a nice guy. However, I felt as though his class was much more difficult than it should have been. To do well in his class you need to READ the BOOK or as least look at the outline after each chapter. Go to SI review!

the whole key to his class is doing the reading, if you do the reading you will be fine... some people thought his lectures were boring, but i thought he was pretty funny

Comment:

Do good on the first test its the easiest. All the other tests are hard. I studied hard for the tests and could only manage a C. He has some funny jokes but lectures are boring. I wouldnt recommend this teacher but if you have him you can manage a B.

Comment:

This class can be really difficult, but it is not so bad if you do these things:Lectures are useless, only go when he takes attendance for extra credit. Do extra experiments for extra credit. The most important thing is go to the SIs especially before the test,because there is just SO much material, and the SIs tell you what will really be on tests

Comment:

His lectures are useless but he takes attendance 7 times and you need to be there 5. It is just extra credit so you could do without going. The tests are difficult but only because there is so much material. Read the text and go to SI as much as possible.

Comment:

Clement seems like an overall nice guy, but his class is boring and most of the material taught in class will NOT be on the test. Most of the questions are taken from the book and tests are very hard. I studied and read for the tests, but it didn't help much. I probably would have failed if it weren't for the bonus points he gives.

Comment:

Although this class should be easy, Clements tests were pretty tough. It's a lot of information so read your book. Going to class is pretty pointless. He does take attendance 7 times during the semester, but you only need to be there for 5. And DO NOT forget to do your required experiment...if not you'll have to write a research paper.
