Comment:

His powerpoints are awful. You need to be able to take notes from the powerpoints and whatever he is saying as well. The topics tend to be easy but makes the exams extremely tough. He ruined my grade in the class with him. DONT TAKE HIM

Comment:

I think if I had this guy for a different class I would've liked him more but the way he taught this class was very difficult for me, if he wasn't as accessible as he was I would've failed

Comment:

Course material is difficult but he knows what he is talking about and explains the material very well. Is very organized. As long as you know the formulas(gives handouts on every part of material), run though examples, and do the work, you'll get an easy A. Very helpful if you ask question about what you're struggling on.

Comment:

It may not be just him. Unless you like social psychology (aka putting an intense name to something obvious) you can't stand him. His test questions are really ambiguous too.

Comment:

Prof. is very organized and presents psych. statistics material in a logical manner. A quiet, calm, and kind man who enjoys statistics. No book is required meaning all material is lecture-based. Helpful handouts are given out for all concepts. If one makes a decent effort to attend and pay attention in class it is not difficult to succeed.

Comment:

Social Psych was an amazing class. He definitely knows what he's talking about and is passionate about the subject. Student must be able to take good notes to do well on exams. He is very approachable outside of class and encourages questions and comments during class

PSYC IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS I TOOK THE FIRST TEACHER & BASICALLY FAILED ALL HER TEST BECAUSE AHE DIDNT GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, BUT WITH HIM THE WORK WAS HARD BUT HE EXPLAINS WELL ENOUGH FOR YOU TO PASS THE CLASS & HE MAKES IT FUN & INTRESTING.

Comment:

I was a little nervous about taking this class given the mixed comments that I had heard from other students. However, I found it to be enjoyable and informative. It is different from his other classes in that it is seminar-style, so be prepared to participate. The reading load was heavy and the lab was chaotic. Other than that, highly recommended.

Comment:

Great presentation of material. The information he puts out is the information he expcts you to learn. Very clear about expectations on exams. This can make the exams difficult because he generally wants specific answers on exams.

Comment:

His tests are extremely hard, unless you're a math genius never take stats with him, he's confusing at times, strict, he's really smart but has trouble breaking it down to a successful teaching style. overall he's average for me but could be perfect for a different type of learner

Comment:

Talk about irony because for a personality prof, this guy doesn't have one! He is deadpan and odd. Despite that, he is very intelligent and does teach a lot of stuff. The info is really cool and interesting, but he makes class miserable. The worst part is def. the exams: they are painful; study!

Comment:

Prof. McKillop's classes will be challenging, but rewarding in the end. He will make you work for your grade, but he is fair. Some thought he was boring, but I think he is much better in small classes.
