He only taught one lecture during my astrobiology class, but his information was utter rubbish and pseudoscience. Horrible. Just don't.

Comment:
Definitely knows the area of study. Not the most interesting guy, but he teaches what you need to know. The TAs each made notes so for the exam I studied those and watched the lectures on WebCT. Try to keep up with the readings. The course is mostly history of Psych rather than the science aspect so it is kind of dry.

Seems like a nice person but he made the material incomprehensible. None of it was connected and he never managed to make any sense in lecture. If only he didn't teach the one mandatory class for everyone taking psychology.

Comment:
I went to 2 lectures all semester, read the textbook starting 2 days before the final and managed to pull off a B in the class even though I thought I failed the final. The lectures are boring and it's in Leacock 132. Don't go to class, use WebCT and read the book and take a nap in your room instead.

I think that he gets a lot more grief than he deserves. I enjoyed his class and the material very much. I like his personal stories; they add a nice touch to the course.

Man...this guy is one of the worst profs. While the readings and material are quite interesting, he makes it uncomprehensible and dry. His lectures are awful and boring. He talks in circles about nothing. One class, for an hour and a half, talked about the different departments in psych. :S TA's were so much better, too bad they weren't teaching.

Comment:
Everyone is too hard on him. He is very articulate and is able to explain all aspects of the class very well. However, he is not especially engaging and therefore a lot of the class is not paying attention by the end. But if you listen and you're not from Concordia, you will understand the material!

Lots of people don't like him but I find him really interesting. He seems very very very intelligent and it's really nice to listen to someone who knows so much and thinks so fast. If you have a question, he's approachable after or during (but moreso after) class. Reading are pretty easy to understand and the tutorials and classes make it even easi

Comment:
Dondon is bad news. He talks garbage 80% of the time and 20% of the time is not articulate about the things he means to teach. His curriculum is flawed and a bad survey of psychology. He is boring and awful. Not to be not missed. Not.

Comment:
Easily one of the worst professors I've ever had. He loves the sound of his own voice so much that he embeds relevant lecture material under layers of ****. This makes an introductory course that much more inaccessible to someone who's never taken a psychology class before. Avoid him if you can, unless you want to fall asleep and learn nothing.

Comment:
Ok, so i've already taken an intro to psyc class before, and this time around it really sucks. His lectures are just a repetition of the textbook which is really not helpful to begin with since its kind of seems like he rushed getting it to the publishers on time. Seriously, this class is not worth taking if he's teaching. Nice guy, horrible prof!!

Really great Prof.He's funny at times and the text is very interesting.He's actually worked with some of the people you study about and it's a breath of fresh air to study under someone who seems to be above the everyday Prof at McGill.
