What a cute little man! I'm a little bias because I actually know this guy outside of class - he's hysterical and a little kooky. It definitely comes across in class. Very entertaining and a challenging yet not too tough class.

dude- this guy is so great that I wound up taking Bio Psych as an elective just because he was teaching it. I took him 4 times.. his classes are always full and he's hands down one of the best professors on campus

Great Guy. Funny and entertaining, makes a boring class more interesting. He lets you out early every night. Don't under estimate his tests though, they are challenging but fair.

He is great. Very entertaining and informative. He may be a little more difficult than your average intro psych teacher, but A's aren't too difficult to attain.

Funny and entertaining guy.. makes Psych as interesting as it can get.. only 4 tests but its not a cakewalk (other profs take out the lowest grade where he doesn't). Great guy though, you should take him.

Awesome professor.He is retiring after next semester and is teaching one class at night. If you have to take this class, or want an easy class take it. Only 4 tests directly from the notes, no finals or papers.

The best professor to teach an Intro to anything class. Was not very interested in Psyc but after this class, I am really thinking about it. He is a fun person, and really cared about his students. Also his classes are so entertaining, so wont think you are in class!!!

He's a pretty good teacher. Although, if you do decide to take his class, remember to bring a pillow and a blanket because you will definitely fall asleep during his lecture. But his midterms are quite easy.

The guy is a hilarious man. He keeps everyone interested most of the time and talk has really fun stories. Tests are almost solely from notes, only a few required from the textbook.

This class was awesome...one of the best I have ever taken. This guy not only knows his stuff but knows how to keep interest in a huge lecture hall. Tests are mostly from notes, only a few questions come from the book. Just study your notes and you will get an easy A. The grade is based on 4 exams

This guy kicks ass. Lectures are actually fun and interesting, and the tests are not too bad. He's retiring after this year so get him if you can.
