He talks about everything except the subject. The school could replace him with a potted plant and we would not know the difference.

If you want to study psych after WCC don't take his class. He tells anecdotes the whole time and you learn nothing. He is an easy A though.

Comment:

He's an awesome teacher. He does talk about life but it relates to the topics that he's talking about. If you can't connect the two then you are really stupid. He gives take home tests which are ridiculously easy and the overall course is fun.

Comment:

It's like he can't fricking stop talking about stuff that has NOTHING to do with the class subject whatsoever. Basically another version of Jeanine Epps - Can't even ask any questions in class w/o being cut off by another of his rants! He'll even walk over to you, point out something about you to the entire class and just embarrass others & himself

Comment:

The only reason everyone likes him is b/c he is easy. He spits when he talks and repeats the same stories throughout the semester. Furthermore he uses class time as podium to educate the class in Jewish culture! I wish he would leave the class secular and stick to the topic he is suppose to be covering.

Comment:

I have taken this prof for Human Sexuality, Social Psych, and Theories of Personality Honors...He does get off topic sometimes, but is a very knowledgeable man. He has a great sense of humor and is a genuine kinda guy; if you have any problems or issues he's always flexible and helpful. Highly recomend!!

Comment:

He never focuses on the topic and is always talking about his life while trying to emulate a combination of George Costanza and Jerry Seinfeld. The course is not demanding and he is very relaxed, but I would prefer a lecture with some anecdotes, and a discussion.

TANGENT ALERT! Will discuss thoroughly every aspect of the subject...that directly relates to his life. Read the textbook before class, do the assignments (not too many) and the class goes by quick.

Berkowitz is the man. Yea he talks for the entire period but he'll make you laugh every so often. Very good guy though. Never gets angry and all exams are take home and even the final is take home. Awesome and easy A so take him.
