Comment:

Very full of himself. Includes selfies in his lecture slides and then actually asked us about his looks on the exam ie: Did I have a beard in the lectures slide on Oct. 24? Condescending in nature. Positive psychology made me negative. Worst.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Hart. He's totally weird, and I think it's fantastic. He's very interesting, and is definitely enough to keep you interested. He is very clear about what will be on the exams, and for those complaining about his random questions, it's to see if you were engaged and paying attention. His combo of content and humor is refreshing

This class only has one midterm (50%) and a final (50%), which is nice if you have tons of classes with a bunch of assignments! He a stickler for cellphones and WILL embarrass you if you're on it in class. Exams are VERY EASY if you go to class and fill out the two (back and front) crib sheets to take with you. Weird humor sometimes, good overall!

I enjoy his lectures! A few words on Hart: high functioning, neurotic, Humanistic, clinical psychologist. Be direct and to the point when you ask questions. He is an entertaining & sweet man. His exams are in sections: "From the class on titledate OR chapter title answer the following questions:" He also permits 2 cribsheets for both exams!

One of the most narcissistic professors I've ever had the misfortune of encountering. His tests are 50% content, 50% questions about himself. Sucks cause the content was interesting and he was a mess.

I took Pos. psych with Dr Hart and loved him. don't know why he has so many bad ratings! he is a bit weird & you may find his humour pretty dumb, but you can tell he's trying to make u smile & ease u from the stress of uni, & he wants u to succeed.hes calm and nice, sometime ends class early. no papers, just midterms and exam. M/C and fairly easy.

Comment:

Worst professor so far. Always late and rushed, slides are a jumbled mess, uses stupid examples and rambles on forever. Kenneth also talks about mental illness like it is a joke, which is not appropriate for ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY. Has 3 exams and 2 are with a cheat sheet, yet the class average was still 50. Terrible prof. 0/10 do not recommend.

The worst! I have avoided taking classes with him since 1st year when I took Positive Psych. One of the questions on the final was "A picture of Dr.Hart was shown on the first day of class, did he have a mustache?" REALLY?!

Don't take his class. He showed up late to class everyday, didn't post the syllabus until October!! Unprofessional and exams were not fair at all. This is an INTRO class so it should have been a little lighter. Also took WEEKS to receive a reply to my email.

LOOOOOOOOVE love love this professor. I take everyone of his classes. I make my schedule around his classes. He's a little spacey and weird but its all part of his charm. He is brilliant and hilarious.

I enjoyed this class. I feel like Dr. Hart did a lot to ensure his students got the most from it. 3 exams that's it, I liked that, but it bothered people who weren't fans of multiple choice tests. Crib sheets were permitted for 2 of them though, and the 3rd had a written component, so yay. It would be nice if the lectures went more beyond the book.

Comment:

Super easy and super boring. Rambles on forever about 1 slide. Doesn't use class time very well. ALWAYS late. Focuses on positive and cognitive causes/treatments mostly (good if you don't like bio). ALWAYS gives cheat sheets (only perk, only reason I got 90's.)has exam section for SPECIFIC pictures/words said in class (take note of tiny things)

Comment:

Intelligent prof, he devotes his time to research rather than teaching. He is always at least 10 mins late for class and then cuts class short. You MUST take notes because he doesn't post slides and a lot of material is from the text. There are specific sections on the exams devoted to class time and if you don't show up you won't know the answers.

Comment:

I actually look forward to his lectures. Intelligent students will see that he is trying to encourage everyone to develop/maintain good study habits, and to make the most out of their university education. He's passionate about what he teaches, and yes there will be questions on the exam about something that he showed in class!

I had him first year for positive psych and thought he was awful, so I was worried when I had him again for 220. I don't know what changed but suddenly he was hilarious, brilliant, and just great overall. You do have to go to class, but so what, what are you in university for if you don't want to do anything?

Comment:

BRUTAL TEACHER. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! He took a positive psyc class and all i have is negative comments about him. Prepare yourself for a 140 MC midterm and 300 MC exam! As well as purchasing three books for his class. He is so full of himself and lectures are a complete waste of time but on the other hand necessary for any hope of a good mark. AVOID

Comment:

Dr. Hart is AMAZINGGGG. I seriously never missed one of his classes. He is funny, I think his demeanor is so cute. He is highly intelligent and I very much enjoy getting a few words in after class. He wants his students to learn, and he takes a different approach at it. He is always 2-4 min late, but really.. who cares.
