Comment:
I hope he has finally retired as a professor to SPARE OTHER STUDENTS THE MISERY OF BEING INSTRUCTED BY HIM. He has likely been hired by the worst universities, because no GOOD UNIVERSITY would ever hire such a pathetic professor to teach. PLEASE RETIRE!!! I am glad that my university got rid of him.

Comment:
Likes to talk about male genital. Can't keep straight what he has told a class and what he hasn't. Do not ask questions, he can't remember enough to answer them. He only likes young, slim girls that show him a little cleavage. Do not take him if you can avoid it.

Comment:
He is TOO old to be teaching, wants to be doing research anyway. Contradicts himself on a regular basis, so study the book. Doesn't like for people to ask questions. One of the worst instructors I have personally ever had. Hated the class because of his teaching still. Doesn't know how to teach the use of SPSS. Should retire! AWFUL TEACHER!!

Comment:
Extremely hard class! You have 3 tests and a final, along with 2 research papers. The papers aren't terrible, and he's willing to edit them if you have them done a week early. The final was by far the easiest exam, as you have plenty of practice finals. It single handedly saved me from failing the class.

Comment:
It was required or else I wouldn't have taken it. It's an interesting class once you fully understand the material and text, but it's hard work. You have to UNDERSTAND all required readings, plus his lectures, in order to prepare for an exam. His exams are random, so you have to know everything. Very helpful. Does contradict so LISTEN carefully! :)

This was by far the most boring class I have taken at ASU. The content is for research & testing minded students only. Not for the fair at heart! I do not recommend unless required!!

Comment:
ridiculously hard class! he contradicts himself daily. he helps by reviewing your paper before you turn it in, but he always misses a lot of things and will count it wrong. takes 5% off final grade if a single class is missed! don't take him if you can help it! i struggles the entire semester.

It's a difficult course, and sometimes Dr. Bacharach contradicts himself, but he is a nice guy and you learn a lot. I recommend this course if you are willing to study and work hard

The tests were hard, and sometimes it was hard to follow his lectures. He could definitely use a more structured approach to the class. But he's helpful and overall a nice guy. It's just a difficult class.

Comment:
he may look at the class like we're all a bunch of idiots as one commentor stated, but his class is actually very interesting. Tests and measurements actually turned out to be the best course I've taken this semester. Bacharach knows what he's talking about and relates the material well to real world problems.

Comment:
By far the worst professor I have had in college. I really think he was high a couple of times in class; he has a terrible short term memory and when asked to clarify he would often completely contradict himself or not remember what he had just said. I'm not a slacker by any means, but I couldn't learn anything from him. Stay away.

I thought he was okay, but not really good. Class was boring - but then again, research methods in general is boring to me.
