Comment:
Tests were extremely hard and your whole grade is based on the midterm, final, and optional 10 page extra credit paper. You need to pay attention in class to do well. There is a crazy amount of reading (about 200 pages per week) but you'll come out at the end of it with a deep knowledge of psychotherapy. A challenge, but I'm glad I made it.

Comment:
Prof. Harder is soo boring. He obviously knows a lot about psych though, which I respect. I didn't put enough effort into this class, but if I had I would have enjoyed it a lot more. Definitely bring caffeine to class.

INCREDIBLY boring and monotone. Goes on tangents and contradicts himself. The material is incredibly interesting yet miraculously he manages to make it incredibly dull and basically takes all the life of the subject. Avoid if at all possible.

Comment:
His tests are hard because his teaching style belies his testing style: his seminar is very conversational, and he does occasionally mumble important points, but if you take good notes you will do well. Big grading curve. He is also reasonable if you have questions about your test- if you have a good argument he may give you back a point or two.

Comment:
I was so excited to take this class, but he is a terrible professor. He lectures over material that is often not related to the readings. His tests are extremely difficult, but he does grade on a curve. He knows a lot about the topic, but his lecture nearly put me to sleep every day. Avoid him if you can.

Comment:
sounded like such an interesting class, but he bored me to death [unless he went on a tangent, and in that case wasn't very much help for exams], and his exams were multiple choice and quite vague [especially since lecture did not clear this up].

Comment:
Harder's voice is monotone and he doesn't make an effort to bring the class in or motivate interest. I like him because he does a great job of answering questions; but I am facinated by psych, so it is not hard for me to pay attention. If you are not interested in psych, don't take this class.

Comment:
I found this class to be interesting, probably because I was interested in the material. He is a bit dry, but I still enjoyed the class and learned a lot. His tests are pretty hard, but he grades with a huge curve. You have to take excellent notes and study hard to do well.

So incredibly boring it is frightening. Studying abnormal psych under his guise made me wish for narcolepsy as the only way to bear his class is to sleep through it. Terrible knowledge of the material too. Still, he seems like a nice chap. Shame really.

This was a really difficult class, but I learned a LOT and really enjoyed it. I highly recommend going to the graduate meetings as well as regular class, because it will give you more background.
