Comment:

Good Prof!! No need to attend lecture especially if it's at 8:30 in the morning. His exams are straight from the text. One huge essay (10-12 pages) and 2 exams. Really nice guy - good course to take.

true, the lectures were really boring at times, but his exams were very fair and his marking was really generous. he really wants you to do well and ace the class. also he's oddly funny and reminds me of someone's grandpa...GREAT PROF! :)

Comment:

He keeps his lectures interactive by asking many questions and he does some funny jokes. Still his lectures are quite boring but you can skip them as his exams are based only on the textbook. Exams are easy as he does not test for detail. Would definitely recommend this class if your looking for something interesting and easy!

Nice person and lectures are clear. Exams are stricly from the book and you have to read EVERYTHING to do well! S/A are fair but many M/Cs are confusing and tricky.

Comment:

if you want a prof that reads his own version of the test without using the board or even powerpoint.. he is perfect. nice man but EXTREMELY BORING. and at 8 30 in the morning... not a good combination. advice- focus more on the treatments rather then symptoms and you'll do fine

Comment:

nice, caring and funny. 3 Exams, all are MC and short answers. All material on the exams is from the text. the text is ridiculously long, you have quite a CHUNK to study for each exam. Some mc q's are from parts of book you didn't think would be important. Nothing unfair about course, if you study well, you'll get the mark.

A very enthusiastic prof, who is warm, caring, and kind. His lectures are quite easy to follow and the exams are very fair. He loves getting input from his students and will take time to address any concern. I would recommend his classes to anyone.

Comment:

He looks like he is about to fall apart, but he is so nice! He is a good lecturer and tests are EASY, mostly based on definitions at the end of the chapters. The essay was a bit difficult, but only because I never had to write 1 in psyc. This course is good to take as prep for parenthood.

Easy class, yet very boring. Lectures could have been more engaging and challenging. He has a tendancy to pick on ppl, so come to class prepared.

Great prof! He always had interesting, relevant stories to add to his lectures to keep students entertained, & he's also good at engaging everyone in class discussions. Tests mainly from the book & easy if you study.

Comment:

This guy's test was a little bit ridiculous. I mean, I spent all this time copying down "important" board notes, and absolutely NONE were on his exam! His exam consisted of stuff we barely talked about in class, and it wasn't even in the textbook!!

if you come to class you will have no problem. at times you dont even know you're learning new beh mod techniques until you catch yourself doing them. if study exams not bad. keeps weekly tabs on where you are in your assign. so easy to keep on track.

Comment:

For his abnormal class it doesn't even make sense to show up b/c all he does is reiterate whats in the text. If you wanna do well study everything in the text and I mean everything! His short answers are from places in the text you prolly just barely read

Comment:

Very interesting course. I loved his old-school family video of beh. mod. techniques. A little tough on marking the final presentations and somewhat too critical at times. He knew the names of those that participated in seminar..speak up!
