Wow this is a butual class. If you take his class, ask him questions. He loves questions. His wit is so dry it creates dust clouds. You will not garner much from the lectures make sure you know the material backwards and forwards. He takes attendance 5% of your grade. his tests are a bear. take another teacher if you can!

Very boring teacher, you basically have to teach your self so buy the book and read all the chapters, quizes are based on the book and if you don't read they are not easy, final is cumulative and attendance is mandatory.

Comment:

This guy actually worked with Skinner, which is enough to let you know he is beyond brilliant and knows all things EAB. HOWEVER, he is seriously boring, difficult to follow, and the lectures are mostly unrelated to the test material. The T.A. does everything, which he'll tell you. Quizzes are not that easy and the final is cumulative.

Comment:

lectures are meaningless. quiz every week. VERY SARCASTIC (in a bad way). talks bad about every area of psychology, except behaviorism. the material is interesting IF YOU TAKE W/ SOMEONE ELSE. very dry humor, rude, not helpful, horrible at answering questions. our TA made it easy, she really helped A LOT, unlike him

Comment:

If you do not need this class do not take it. Don't make the same mistake I did thinking that it would be an interesting class for an elective. The concepts might be interesting but he is boring. You might fall asleep if you go to class. He gives quizzes on fridays and sometimes counts attendance. So if you do take him go to class.

Do not take this class, he has the most random lectures in the world. Uses uneccessary sarcasm and you have to study for this class. Only take this class if you're willing to teach yourself and read the book on your own.

brace yourself for the MOST RANDOM lectures in the world! I now know every single job available as a behavior analyst, the salaries made per degree, the superiority of behavior over any other psychological field, and how great the graduate program HE is in charge of is. he is walking propaganda for behaviorism! but of the actual material? nothing.

Comment:

After avery very long time, I came across a professor who is quite amazing. He is very thorough with the subject. Everything he says ties up with the content even if he is making a joke. However, I think he is only meant fo students who are eager to learn and not for those who expect the professor to entertain the class.

Comment:

he's really boring,u will probably zone out because his voice is so monotinous(sp) but he's an easy teacher, he gives u a lot of multiple choice quizes (50% of ur grade) and you drop 2 of them and two tests (midterm and final). not hard and his book is a million times more interesting than anyone elses' behavior books!

Comment:

This is by far the most boring teacher I have ever had! Only accepts behavioral views, goes off in tangents about irrelevant things, and you will learn little to nothing from his lectures. The grades are made up of weekly quizzes, a cumm final exam on 30 chapters, and only 6 extra credit points. Avoid this professor if possible, he needs to retire!

Comment:

Very bright,nice man, but...definitely not a good teacher! He's boring, and if you aren't interested in behavioral analysis, you'll hate this class. You DO need to read the chapters to get an A.You'll fail the class only if you are really lazy. If you expect to learn from his lectures, it won't happen, though he'll help a lot to get a good grade.
