I definitely feel prepared to write my thesis this upcoming school year because of Kevin. He is clear in his expectations and fair in his marking. I just found some parts of the lab difficult at times, but both Kevin and the TA are always available to help out! Overall a great class

An amazing professor. He is super caring and is not out for us to fail. He is clear with what he wants and gives extra marks on exams when the questions were too hard. it is just two mulitple choice exams based on the readings, lectures and discussions. Really interesting and easy.

Kevin is a very nice and easy-to-approach prof. He made his seminar clear and enjoyable, despite it being a 3-hour Monday morning (8:30) class. He smiles a lot and is very knowledgable. My only issue was that SPSSAPA was "taught" in the lab by the TA... but it was basically DIY & was unhelpful. Excluding that, the class was good. I recommend him!

Comment:

He's an extremely nice and helpful guy, but his lectures are pointless. Half of the class is "discussion", where he puts up questions on the board and expects you to talk amongst other students. Most of the time people just end up talking about other things. Most of the material for exams is from the textbook, I feel I wasted my time in class.

Comment:

Overall pretty good teacher. Only thing is that Kevin likes to incorporate statistics into his class. Even if you are new to statistics he will teach you it. Sometimes hard to follow his lecture as his power point slides have very limited information. His exams are a bit tough as he asks alot from the textbook. Overall pretty good teacher.

Really bright teacher who brings a bubbly personality to class. This class is impossible to fall behind because he truly cares on whether we understand the lecture materials or not. He teaches the course material with confidence and active interaction between the teacher-class. Overall, a really good course to take if interested!

Comment:

It seems like he doesn't even wanna be in class and talk to students. He is useless. Doesn't help at all. Doesn't even reply to emails. Exams are pretty hard. All the questions are paragraph type. You start reading and by the end of the question you forget what it was. Do not recommend this prof to anyone unless they have no choice.

Nunes is an excellent prof! He attempts to make the material interesting although it is difficult to do so when the content was so heavy with statistics. I got a decent mark with minimal effort, and its a bonus that he's cute!

Easy!! He does not care about teaching and gives out As. Don't bother reading the textbook. I got A for showing to *some* classes. He just does not care, at all! He is boring but worth it. Forensic psyc was bird course 101, wow!!!

forensic psych. skipped every class and got an A+; if you know everything in the text you will be golden. based on the first lecture he seems like a really nice and approachable guy. "practice" quizes are open book, online, and an easy way to lock up grades. workload is light (no assignments) but if you dont like reading text might not be for you.

I really like him! Really interesting material, good lectures, and he has great guest lecturers who come in to speak about what they do in the field of forensics. His exams can be tricky, but if you study hard they're totally fine. I highly recommend him as a prof!

I absolutely loved prof. Nunes! He gave great lectures and took you can tell he really cared for his students. He brought in a plethora of speakers that brought their experience to the table. His exams are fair, but make sure to print out and write notes! those come in handy.

What a great class! Everything was very straight forward. If you go to class, take decent notes and then go over everything in the textbook you should get a very high grade. The exams were not crazy hard, the averages were always in the 70s. Highly recommend prof. and i had no interest in forensic psych prior. to taking class.

Kevin was an extremly good teacher who made every class interesting and a delight to attend. The information was clearly and well presented and his personality added to the quality of his lectures. With numerous guess speakers the course content was presented by experts in their fields and was very interesting. You won't be dissapointed! Good luck!

Comment:

Repeats too much straight out of the textbook and zips too quickly through the material. His lecturing style is not terribly interesting but his guest speakers are. He's a nice guy who is fair with the students & straightforward as to what to expect on the exams. The exams are not killers and he gives lots of bonus marks for doing online quizzes.
