Comment:
First, there is no longer a text for this class. He instead just assigns maybe 5, 1-2 page articles that you have to skim over before each test. Next, lectures are fun (like, I looked forward to waking up to go to this class when I had it). Finally, he gives you ALL of the test questions in advance of the exam AND the answers! Tons of extra credit

Comment:
Took him for experimental Child psych last semester. The nicest guy ever! His class was moderately difficult. There is no textbook - he gives out readings. But man, was it interesting! I think he curved because I still managed to get an A. Much better class than Buder-Shapiro's. Plus class size is small! Recommend, a joy!

Comment:
Definitely my best professor all semester. His Cycle of Science class sounded boring and difficult and having no choice in SAGES class for first semester had me depressed. But, everything was graded on effort and the man is BRILLIANT. About the only thing that is difficult in this class is decyphering his horrible handwriting.

Dr. fagan is an excellent professor. He has worked in the field and has conducted extensive research. No tricky test involved. He expects students to read the material. The books for his classes are not very interesting....but, he uses handouts that are very helpful.

Comment:
Class is really easy. Just go and take notes. No text. Does require actual work outside of class since you do have to write a grant proposal. But don't worry, he takes you through every step so it's not too hard, just time consuming. Guaranteed an A so long as you turn everything in on time.

Comment:
Very nice man, very easygoing and he's done major work in the field so that he's in textbooks. He's old-fasioned though so powerpoints, all lecturing. It gets long. He does give extra credit, but a warning: he changed his test format for the semester I took (Fall 2005) so they're not easy anymore. The book is pretty awful, I dreaded it.

The man lets you know exactly what he wants on his tests. There's a ton of reading, but also a bunch of extra credit. This class should be an easy A.

Long lecture.. but easy to understand. Must take good notes during class and read over the books at least once.. tests are easy and the extra credit assignments are great!
