Comment:

Hines really knows his stuff, but he talks way too fast and basically teaches at a med school level. I studied for days before his quizzes and still pretty much failed (his grading is very tough), so if you want your GPA to go way downhill, then take the course. Good luck!!!

Best classes I've ever taken! Also super hard, you had to really pay attention and do the work, but I got an A and I really felt like I learned! If you're not willing to put in the work- do not take!

Incredible professor. Interesting lectures that make you want to go to class. The highest quality course I've taken at Pace University and I wish I had taken him sooner. He's easy to talk to and always willing to go over tests and assignments with you. Highly, highly recommended!

He's a good teacher and I would take his class again. He lectures a lot but ALWAYS dismisses early. I maybe stayed the full time twice. If you are a good note taker you will be okay because the tests are straight from his lectures. Funny and a GENIUS. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Comment:

I don't understand why people keep saying he doesn't use the textbook. He won't TELL you it's coming straight from the book, but if you have some incentive, you'll find everything there. Cynical, but I took the class to learn, not worry about his opinions. He's a GENIUS and his lectures reflect that. If you get lost ASK. Loved him and his class.

Just a great professor. Pace needs more professors like Hines. He is straight forward and contains a wealth of knowledge. He does talk fast but when he is on a role you are learning a lot of great information.

Comment:

GOOD: very smart and knowledgeable man, doesnt care about attendance, funny. BAD: If you miss one class you're screwed because he lectures nonstop for 2 hours without a break at a medical school level (even in PSY111)and to make it worse he talks way TOO FAST (impossible to write or type it all) and his tests are purely based on his lectures.

Comment:

Professor Hines is a very interesting man. he talks fast. He always has irrelevant story time. He's an athiest and this is ok but he should not make jokes and speak bad of other religions. Hard to understand at times very dry and boring stay away from this man and his disgusting classes it would be in your best interest

Comment:

Ignore the harsh comments, most of the kids at pace are lazy. I love professor Hines. His classes are really interesting. Most class have crazy amounts of really awesome discussions, fascinating class martial, and he is really sarcastic and funny. JUST REMEMBER TO STUDY! It's worth it, if you enjoy learning.

Comment:

I took this man last year and put it to you this way. He was the reason I changed my major from Psychology to Communications. Intro to Psychology should not resemble medical school. My own advisor told me never to take him again and avoid him at all costs. He talks fast and it's hard to take notes, tests are impossible, wound up with a C. Blah.

Comment:

Just PAY ATTENTION! He lectures all class but all the info you need is given to you. He is helpful if you ask questions, so stay engaged. Use his studyguides as an outline of what to read from the book and you'll do well for the tests. 2 tests + 1 paper is all you are graded on, so make them count! His sarcasm isn't for all, but I loved it.

Comment:

If you want a challenging professor take his class. He's not the best teacher, but if you ask questions and engage with him, you'll wind up learning a lot. His tests are hard but if you know the material, it will show in your grade. People who dont like to study complain about him. Class is as difficult as it should be. This is college, not HS.

Comment:

If you want an easy A, walk away. He teaches his class close to a med school level because he's a neurologist. As long as you read the book ahead of time, take good notes, and study all of the material you'll do fine. His test are short answer,choose 20/25 questions. Make sure you go over answers when he hands back a test;You might get 10pts back.

worst! Hines had to have written some of these himself. Never uses the book,incomprehensable and random lectures, not available for help, pushes his opinions on you, cannot stand someone speaking for themselves or against his own opinions...think again before signing into any of his classes

Comment:

He does not go by the textbook at all. Its all about the notes he gives. So make sure you take very good ones. The man is so smart he is sometimes hard to understand. He doenst really use the board, he just speaks. Listen and write QUICKLY.Since my notes sucked I tried studying from the book but failed 3/4 of his tests. Kiss his ass. i got a B+ :)

Comment:

He is a hard teacher, but he is a genius. If you actually pay attention, take good and comprehendible notes then you should do fine. His grades are based off of 3 tests so make sure you study. Many complain about him and I understand why, but I still think he is an awesome teacher.
