Comment:

You can tell just by listening to him that he likes teaching. His lectures were entertaining, insightful, and I learned quite a bit from the course. Only problem was that the exams were text book focused which really sucked. Still the course is worth taking just for the prof.

Comment:

Took this as an elective: Read the text, do the multiple choice questions in the study guide and review the lecture notes = guaranteed A. Lectures are really boring but make sure you show up to the special presentations/videos cause they're def. on the midterms/final!

Loved his random lectures. STudy hard for this class because the exams and midterms are a little challenging, since much is not covered in the lecture. He does make university fun though and definitly enjoys his job. : ) We will miss you

Great class. This prof definitely has personality! I went to only about 6 of the classes and finished with a B+. If you read the book, use the study guide and the website materials, you will pass this course with flying colours.

Comment:

I thought he was a fantastic prof during the semester. His classes were entertaining and interesting. He was clear and made things easy to understand. His midterms were very fair, then bam, the exam comes. It was not on the majority of what was taught this semester and it contained concepts that we never had learned. It was garbage and unfair.

Comment:

most random class EVER! i only learned things when the TAs were around, but the classes with him were never boring. I would go just to hear about his escapades in the navy and the fbi...what is up with "another beautiful day in paradise?" wierd but good class. If you want to pass read the texbook carefully, b/c the exams is all trivial knowledge

Comment:

The best professor I ever had, seriously. His lectures are fascinating and his style of talking is very engaging. He has some cool hand gestures that I will use when I'm a prof. He inspired me to get a minor in psych. I think he's leaving soon though. Too bad because he's godlike.

Comment:

"Another Beautiful Day In Paradise"... blah blah blah. Although my mark was really high in this class I really didn't feel like I learned a lot. The mid-terms spoke more to the text-book than to the lectures. Girodo's a really nice guy, but his teaching isn't so great.
