Comment:

not over the top hard, but you really should read the notes and materials over again and again to remember them- yeah, just study hard. It is easier if you have a background in Biology- if you don't, I suggest taking a Bio class first. Oh, and DO YOUR TERM PAPER WAY BEFOREHAND- trust me on this. Oh, and he's real nit-picky about everything.

Comment:

Top in his field. Class based on current research -> opened my mind to how the scientific method is implemented. covers EXTENSIVE amount of UPPER LEVEL behav neuroendo. MUST study and READ the material. DOESN'T spoonfeed: DOESN'T give practice tests + help with paper research. BIO, NOT PSYCH COURSE!

Comment:

very difficult exams, no review sessions, no homework or extra credit options. also, honors courses are usually interactive with discussion and teachers allowing students to excel with effort. this class has only 3 exams and 1 paper and the grades are based solely on that!

I liked his lecuring style. He taught us real science. I disagree with the last person to write. I liked that he made real science understandable.

Comment:

His teaching skills sucked, never reviewed for exams, when asked what would be on the exam he would state 'everything covered in lecture and readings' which was hundreds of pages of readings as well as tons of notes. Were psych majors not science majors.

Comment:

Knows his stuff, but doesn't teach it very well. The lack of review sheets and sessions definitely took away from the course. Also made it very hard to access old tests in order to study for the final.

Doesn't believe in review sheets/sessions. Tests are really hard (one had an average of 56). Relys on online which is hard when you don't have access.
