Comment:

I had Dr. Green for Experimental previously, and I personally liked him better for that. His lectures in Cog were a bit bland, and his exams tested on very specific details, that most wouldn't find important. However, he did curve tests and he wanted people to do well in his class. Went over Powerpoints in class, and you took notes in Skeleton form

Comment:

Dr. Green is one of the kindest and smartest professors I've had. That said, his lectures are very dry and his tests include minuscule details that few people study. Tests are weighted heavily and he curves them significantly. He clearly knows a ton about the subject but isn't great at explaining it.

Comment:

Class was very organized. Lecture was powerpoint outlines but you need to read the textbook and study a lot to do well on the tests. Three tests and a final paper(pass/fail) but all of the lab and video assignments balance out your grade as long as you do them. I enjoyed the class and everyone loves him.

Comment:

Dr. Green is a very sweet man, however his monotone voice often makes it difficult to not fall asleep in class. The class itself is boring, but as long as you take down all the notes he writes, its a pretty easy A. No attendance policy, however you have to turn in all your homework on time and in class (not online). Tests were very straightforward.

This man is the sweetest and most caring professor I have ever had. Took him for cog psych and then again for experimental research methods the next semester because I love him so much. DEFINITELY recommend!!!! As long as you do your work, you will do just fine. And he is VERY kind and wiling to help if you need it.

Comment:

Green is such a nice man and really knows what he's talking about. His classes are boring so don't take him early in the morning. His tests are hard but if you study and go to class you'll be fine. He is nice and fair and always curves tests. Projects are easyHe's not the kind of professor who refuses to give As. If you do the work you'll be fine.

Comment:

After taking my second class with Professor Green I'm upset that I can't take more. The class is not easy, but it is very straightforward and you know what to expect from all tests. Taking great notes and going to every class are both important. The textbook is rarely used and assignments are not too demanding.

Prof Green is a great guy with a really straight-forward and effective teaching style. Take really good notes and take his class. Textbook isn't really used but there are always 1-2 questions directly from it on the tests.

If you memorize absolutely everything he writes on the board/says in class you will get an A. If you actually care about the material and want to learn, this is not the class for you.

Dr. Green is extremely nice and loves what he does. Not the most thrilling professor, but really works hard to help students understand. Truly knows his stuff, and is a great guy.

Comment:

A very nice man, but class put me to sleep several times. Class is all lecture and SPSS. Class and tests are pretty easy though, and he's very approachable. Looking back, I learned more about statistics than I realized at the time. (The textbook isn't very helpful though.)

Comment:

THIS CLASS IS PAINFULLY BORING. DO not take this class if you want a dynamic, fun teacher. All we do in class is take notes, lecture style. His voice is enough to make you fall asleep. He is a very nice man and will help you out of class- the only reason anyone would need help though is that he's so boring it's very hard to pay attention.

Comment:

The class was incredibly boring and his tests cover a lot of material, but not at a very deep level. he's a nice guy and it's just basic information and a LOT of studies. Very boring, but if you study for the test, you can get a good grade.

Comment:

Had him for Cog psy this past semester and it was "meh." The entire class is based off of powerpoint slides and labs, which split the week classes in half (one on tue, on on thu). The slides are given online, but with blank spaces. There are 4 tests, a paper, and a presentation. Nice guy, okay class.

Comment:

Dr. Green is a great professor. His class is hard, but he is very clear. He puts the notes up on blackboard before class - they are fill in the blank. His tests are hard, you really have to know the information - but if you study the notes you will do well. The class can be really boring, but you learn a lot.

Comment:

Dr. Green is one of my favorite professors. If you like very clear notes and exams then you need to take him. His class can be boring but he outlines everything for you and puts the powerpoints on blackboard before class. His exams are hard, but if you study the information you will do well. He wants you to to do well and it is obvious!
