Comment:
Lectures are moderately interesting and you can print out outlines for them before the class period which makes it easy to take notes. However, exams are really hard to get an A on and he's really particular about attendance (even though he never mentioned that, it does very negatively affect the grade to miss a class).

He explains everything down to the detail, yet keeps the exams pretty limited to base knowledge and you learn more than just psychology , but also how really to be a healthier person...I reccomend to everybody!!

Comment:
Class was composed almost solely of student presentations, which was kind of boring. When he did teach, he presented the material solely from a neuroscientific perspective (which didn't correspond with the book, making it pretty much useless). Probably better-suited for a more narrow-topic, non-seminar class.

Dr. Dale is the BEST. Some ppl say he's boring but I have loved every class with him...except for 108...it made no sense. So avoid that. He is incredibly interesting and has a lot of knowledge in the field. Love him!

A great guy. Gets boring at times (especially with the drowsiness-inducing voice [good for hypnosis, I suppose], and frequently incoherent in wording is test questions. But the book for this class is great, and so is the independent project. Aside form a couple boring bouts, the subject matter was usually very interesting. I'd recommend.

I think Professor Dale is AWESOME and some people are just not smart enough to pick up on his humor and style. If you really get to know him, he's a great, intelligant, and REALLY NICE guy.
