Comment:
His class was GREAT! Interesting and Challenging. Doc Mears was quite approachable and always had some project going. His anecdotes of his Testimony in a few Capital Murder Cases was really entertaining and insightful! I went back to campus to catch up and found he'd gone to Colorado or New Mexico. Take care DOC! Maybe we'll meet again?

Highly recommend! Eccentric guy who really knows his stuff. I took Drugs & Behavior with him which was the easiest class ever so I took him again for Abnormal Psychology as an elective. Not near as easy - you've got to pay attention but the tests are pretty straightforward from his lectures. Take notes, pay attention, and you'll do fine.

Comment:
His lectures were really crazy, but the class is SO easy. He gave all the test (2 of them) questions beforehand so as long as you memorize those, you have an A. You have to give an oral report to get an A too, but if you get a speaker - that's your report. I did that and so it was definitely my easiest A ever. Take his class!

Effective Spring 07, Dr. Mears will no longer be teaching Abnormal, but his class was GREAT! Not hard at all but you learn a lot! He's hilarious and witty and makes going to class worthwhile.

If you want to learn in Dr. Mears class- be prepared to teach yourself. He babbles about things flittering here and there and seldom stays on task. He needs to quit and pursue his other interests.

Dr. Mears is awesome! His lectures are fun and he definitely keeps your attention! His tests aren't really that bad, and he usually gives you "pointers" beforehand! The presentation was actually fun! If you pay attention, you will learn a lot! I really enjoyed the guest speakers and the lectures! He makes a dry subject fun to learn!

I really enjoyed this class and as long as you do the "practice tests" this class should go pretty smoothly.

Comment:
He's nutty and all over the place, but very intersting and funny. This is a SUPER easy class. Just take note cards and study the day before. Doesn't get too in depth, so don't stress yourself. Don't bother buying the book, I never used mine. Don't cross him though, he's very authoritative and thinks he's always right.

This class is fairly easy!! If you need a little blow off course, but would like to learn some interesting info, take it! Plus, Mears is GREAT! *Warning though, I do hear his other classes are harder than Drugs and Behavior. Be aware :)

I took Physio Psychology and Abnormal from Dr. Mears. He's really entertaining and surprisingly approachable. I learned a lot - he's so intelligent and you can learn a lot from him. Hilarious at times too. Take him!

This is the most brilliant and skilled academician I have ever met. Like Gregory Bateson, it only took a few minutes of class discussion to know that you were in the presence of a superior intellect. Follow the mental gymnastics and enjoy the ride.

Mears is interesting and entertaining. You won't fall asleep! But he is a little disorganized. He gives lots of hints as to what is on his exams. Pay attention. If he says its on the test, it is! Frequently lets the longer classes out early.
