One group project. Everyone gets the same mark. Paper is worth 20%, poster is 8%. Three exams (2 midterms + 1 final) each worth 24%. All noncumulative. All of them are textbook heavy, but come to class because he includes some things that aren't in the textbook. Not a bad guy, but kinda scattered. But he'll answer your questions, nice guy.

Comment:

Jeff can be hit or miss, he is very passionate about what he does and it certainly shows in his lectures, he is highly knowledgable, and his tangents are generally interesting, however he has a tendency to over-explain concepts, has absolutely horrid dad jokes (The. Worst. I've. Ever. Heard.) and will pick on whoever sits in the front row.

He's very nice but he shouldn't be in the field of teaching. He doesn't know how to teach! I just showed up in his lecture for five times and dropped it. His handout contains lots of contents off the textbook. Even,he didn't tell us what to read for exams. Just bring a pillow and prepare for Zzzzz.. Avoid his class if u can! ! !

Jeff has very engaging lectures and is open to help you learn during his office hours if you feel like you are behind. The content in this class is dry at times but Jeff manages to put everything into a perspective that is not only informative but also interesting.

Great prof, just wish he kept all his slides up so students can redownload if they lose them somehow. His anecdotes are all real gems.

He's a super prof. I have taken 4 classes with him and I really like his lectures. All his notes are on powerpoint but he sometimes shows videos not in the powerpoints that appear on the test. He makes lectures interesting though so I recommend going to his lectures. His classes are the reason I switched to Psyc as my major.

Ugh, okay. Jeff is a nice guy, he really is. But he goes off topic a LOT with personal stories that I honestly didn't find relevant to the material and it made it nearly impossible to focus during his lectures. That being said, there were a few students that did find him funny and engaging, so might just be me. Tests are all MC and easy. Studypass

You really have to read the textbook if you want to do well on exams. He only touches on a few major points in the chapters assigned. Other than that, his lectures are really engaging.

His question are multiple choice, I felt lost in his course he does not tell you about the mid or final you have to remember. Worst professor I have ever taken course with. I usually do not like to write a negative feedback but I couldn't!!! the course grading was unfair too.

Comment:

Jeff is a very nice professor. He often give silly jokes to make the lecture engaging and sometimes connect the concepts to real life situations. There will be three midterms and one final. The exams involves 60 MC questions. In my personal opinion, read the book and read his PPTS in order to pass these exams.

Comment:

Jeff has the best dad jokes of any professor I've ever had. He doesn't take himself too seriously, which was great at first but also gave the wrong impression. As we got into the semester, we realized that although he is a jokester, he is a hard grader. The group project was long and difficult and the exams are very confusing.

Comment:

Jeff is a very kind person and research methods seemed like a hard subject to teach, i think he did a good job at teaching the material and i would take him again. BUT he's all over the place with the MASSIVE semester-long group project you have to do. He would tell the class one thing and then change his mind later on and wasn't especially clear.

Comment:

Be careful With Dr Jeff! His handouts are extremely unclear, do not cover things from the book and contains context off the book,and he will exam them all. He is a very tough marker, expects us to know every detail. Not very patient at explaining things. Always try to be funny and end up telling not-that-funny jokes and fail to get to the points.

This teacher is very clear in lectures. He follows the textbook closely but because of his experience he knows how to present the material in a way that makes it very easy to understand.

Comment:

Took this class as a GPA boaster.. bad idea. There are 3 midterms and a final two chapters each. You would think that his isn't bad but his lecture notes are scattered and not complete so you need to read, learn and study the chapters by yourself to pass the tests. Tests are straight from the textbook and include 3-4 qs on in class videos.
