Comment:

Positive psychology could have been really interesting but he brutalized it. The leg thing gets really creepy, especially when you go see him alone. Go see him for help with a group of people, hes really friendly but won't actually do anything to help your mark.

Comment:

His knowledge of drugs and their mechanisms of action is about as old and outdated as he is. Tends to accentuate his packagé by elevating one of his legs onto a desk. Thank god his packagé never got delivered.

Comment:

This year he decided that people pay attention better if he doesn't use slides, so he just talked for the 2 hour lecture, which got pretty boring. My notes seemed really disorganized. We only covered about half of the material in the textbook, spent 3 weeks on cognitive dissonance and skipped a bunch of other stuff. Pretty interesting course.

Professor Sadava is one of the best Psych profs I have encountered at Brock. He clearly enjoys teaching, he is incredibly knowledgeable and is very approachable and willing to help.

Comment:

has the worst jokes ever. loves to tell people to stop talking so the boredom will be equally distributed. decided to tell the students for 20 minutes how we're a bunch of idiots/morons/losers in comparison to the 2f30 teaching apprentice or whoever she is. either way, this guy was a sad sad change half way though the year compared to dr. hodson

I seriously regret taking this course. He constantly tries to make jokes which are anything but funny and only take away from the lesson. Wouldn't recommend him.

Hilarious, very smart and fair. Best prof I've ever had, but he moves his hands around alot and it's distracting. Abit old, but a cutie. Couldn't get him out to the bar.

Comment:

Stan is ok. He thinks he is hilarious, but after making a corny joke with a non-responsive group of students, makes for an awkward couple of seconds. He is straight from the text, becuase he wrote it.

Not a fan at all. Boring, dry (but he thinks he's hilarious), right from the textbook, and if you're not a favourite, you're screwed.

If you challenge this guy on any of his assumptions he will hold it against you. He was funny in class but there is no substance. Is arrogant with his opinions in seminar.

Knows his stuff but could move a little faster. Tells a lot of stories that are obvious as they come right out of the text. Tests are tricky as they cover mostly material from seminar.
