Comment:

Found the course boring, so it was hard for me to pay attention, and then I did poorly. MUST put in the work. I have him for PSY280 now and it seems a little better this time around, so it must have been the PSY213 course, mainly.

Comment:

The trick to doing well is sitting up FRONT without any distractions. If you do the readings and pay attention to him in lecture you will do fine. If the class avg sucks on the tests he gives you 5 bonus marks each. Got a 82 on the first test just by paying attention in lectures. If you have a short attention span JUST DONT take the course.

Comment:

Worst. Prof. Ever. I can't understand what he is trying to say in class. He gives sample test questions but makes the actual test 10X harder. Starts class early and only give 1 break for a 3 hour class. it takes him 3+ hours to finish 10 slides.

Comment:

I wouldn't advise the course. Lectures are completely monotonous. On a more psoitive note, marking is fair, if you do the readings and study the notes you should do alright. I worked really hard and only got an A-. I didnt think the instructions for the essay were very clear either

The rare kind of professor whose lectures actually help and clarify, not confuse or stray from the material itself. The lectures are very, very helpful.

Comment:

He is a very kind prof. Reading the textbook is a MUST in this class (well it is for all classes but DEFINITELY here). Stay on top of everything. His tests are fair, usually more short answers and fewer multiple choice. Exam is usually multiple choice.

Comment:

His class is boring! But when the whole class did bad on the test, he boosted everyones mark, YAY! Which means he is a fair guy. Essays are marked hard but may depend on who's marking. Make sure ur essay is APA STYLE The exam had some of your opinion questions on there which I don't like! eg,which theory of immortality did you like the most, why

Comment:

Ridiculously boring, and incomprehensible. This is not only due to the material itself, but his lecture style. He reads off his notes word for word, and there are no class discussions making it even more dreadful. When he does ask questions, he answers it himself.

Comment:

he is the worst pro. i have ever met in my life....his lecture is boring and i can not understand what he says and he try to make those simply questions into complicated ones. if you want to do well on his course, it is better for you only take 3class in that term.. the worst and most horrible pro.

His lectures are a cure for insomnia. He still uses high-school style projectors. Interesting topic material, he's brilliant and knows his material.

Comment:

I can read the whole dictionary in another language and I would understand it more then this guy. Lectures are not interesting at all, the textbook is your only hope in this class. And the tests have questions that come out of left field, no, the questions are not even located in the ballpark, that is how ambiguous they are. In conclusion: Worst.

It's true that in large lecture rooms it is hard to follow him. One can always go to see him and he does explains things well. He can be actually quite kind.

what a boring man, never ever have i wanted to fall asleep in class so badly, you have a break every hour but his classes feel like 8 hours long, plus once he finished early the class didnt even notice untill we saw the prof packing away his stuff, wow sooo boring, tests are stupid, and papers are graded unfairly.

Comment:

I honestly cannot understand anything this professor is trying to say. Also he reads off a sheet and does not have visuals (powerpoint etc) making the lectures EXTREMELY borring. When you actually listen to what he is saying, he does explain the material fairly well...but its so hard to pay attention when half the time you are trying to figure ou

Comment:

Dr. Moraglia wasn't bad. I thought the TAs were pretty bad (when marking the term paper hardly any comments or justification was given). Moraglia is a decent guy. If you ask him for help, he will try to help you as best as he can. Lectures are boring, but tests are of average difficulty. I think Perception was actually fairly interesting.

Comment:

Dr. Moraglia is a good chap. I enjoyed 280 more so than 213 but both courses were fairly good. Questions were answered clearly and concisely. I recommend both courses, prepare to do the readings thoroughly.
