Comment:

Hymie is my fav prof I've had so far at Carleton. He doesn't use slides/cuLearn so its really important to go to class - his lectures are interesting (and funny) and I always enjoyed being there. He is engaging with the class, its good to put up your hand and answer questions. Tests are fair, but I highly recommend using the textbook to study.

Beware do not expect any kind of notes or slides. His lectures are solely based on he's oral teaching. I strongly suggest to buy the textbook to help further your understanding of complex concepts. His midterm and exams were fair ( choose 10/15 Short answers) Overall, AWESOME CLASS! He's hilarious and always wiling to help when needed!

Amazing take his class! No slides BUT if you attend class (which you should because he's extremely knowledgeable/hilarious) you'll do well. Reiterates key info. Wants students to succeed, very friendly, midterm, exam,1 essay(Any topic you want). He made VERY clear expectations/how to do essay. I could hear in back of class,text optional (for A/A+)

Comment:

Content is interesting, but the way he presents it is poor. Doesn't speak loud enough for students at the back of the room and the fact that there are no slides makes it hard to follow what he is lecturing on (he tends to go off topic). Grading is unclear (students will fulfil all requirements in the rubric for essays but will get a bad mark)

Comment:

His classes are always entertaining and he focuses on some very interesting topics. If you can, compare notes with a friend to make sure you got everything because there are no slides. Read the textbook, even if topics are not mentioned in class they can show up on a test. He is very generous with grades and will bump you up at the end of the term

Comment:

Made each lecture super interesting, and I learned so much that was applicable outside of the course. He is super lenient about deadlines and let people write the midterm/submit the essay at different times. Doesn't post lecture slides so you have to attend, but he makes class interesting and explains difficult content very well, would take again

He doesn't use slides and goes on frequent tangents, however he is still a phenomenally interesting speakers. He tells a lot of jokes and the makes the material easy to understand. Focus on his research for when studying for the exams/midterms and make sure to read the textbook chapters.

Great lecturer, but rambles often. Doesn't use slides so you have to attend class. Can tell he's been in his field for a long time, very knowledgeable and helpful.

Good prof. Explains very well. I found material to be a bit confusing, but his teaching style gives you confidence in doing well. Also very funny when going off in tangents. Definitely recommend if you want to learn about stress and mental health.
