Comment:

Really great guy! He uses lots of personal stories and experience in his teaching. Sits at the front of the room the whole time and makes class as discussion-based as possible. Kinda hard to hear him, as he's a bit quiet. Relies completely on the textbook. All tests are open-response essays taken from textbook info. Had us do one presentation.

He's a great guy and it's an easy class. what more could you want? Caveat: tons of material about sexuality and gender so if your not into that I would steer clear.

Comment:

Dr. Trimbach is one of the nicest professors at RWU. He is older but has so much knowledge and wisdom to share with his students. His lectures can be boring if no one participates, but he always has relevant and interesting things to say. I highly recommend taking one of his classes if you want your education to mean more than just a grade!

Comment:

The guy's just a trove of knowledge. He has very liberal and socialist views, which a lot of the closed-minded Connecticut people that go here have a problem with. He's very much a "tell it how it is" kind of guy, and has no problem telling you that you're wrong if you are indeed wrong. Take him for human behavior! The work is easy;you watch movies

Take Human Behaviors with Trimbach! The class is run on purely discussion. But, you don't even have to participate to get an A though. There's three group presentations and four papers to type and NO final. You also watch movies for almost a whole month half way during the semester!

physiological psych - good class, learned a lot. smetiems difficult because its a lot of info but we discuss questions for the test and get a study guide, and you usually answer 4 out of 5 essays for the tests. final paper was pretty easy too. you have to study to do well but overall a pretty good class

Really cool guy but does not explain anything to us while expecting us to know everything! the information is so interesting, but be prepared to teach yourself by the book if you take physiological with him.

hahah I don't know who commented that he was down to earth, he literally acts like he is drugged out all the time but he is a good teacher. Class is easy and fun but you have to do like 5 presentations on chapters in the book. Just know the material and you'll do well

Really down to earth guy who was always fun to listen to. He made us teach the class with presentations, and his quizzes were on main concepts of readings covered. A very cool man who is easily the best professor I've had to date.

Comment:

Charles, its sad to say this, but you really put the rest to shame mate. He raises thrilling points. he has enlightened qualities by never making anyone feel stupid - encouraging people to speak and write freely. Chooses relevant and life changing films. A human practically untainted by the angers and hates of life. non psych majors sign up too!
