I took this class and I am so glad I took him. Hard class but if you study and go to class you can make an A. No cumulative final which is nice.

Comment:

Stay on top of the material otherwise it will overwhelm you. Tests are hard and he doesn't pull any punches. He has a ton of interesting stories and knows what he is talking about (he's a practicing clinician).

Comment:

I really enjoyed this class. His experience as a clinical psychologist gave him lots of interesting stories and examples to tell. I'd heard that he wasn't very understanding when it came to grades, but he helped me out when I missed a test. Maybe I was on his good side. I'd definitely recommend him and his class.

Great guy. His tests are hard but if you start a week or so before the test its better. Great stories which make the class entertaining and information useful! He's a good looking man.

Dr. Michael is my current Abnormal Psychology professor. I have been looking forward to this class since I began college and he hasn't let me down. He's a practicing clinician and has tons of practical information to share. Yes, his exams are difficult but not if you study and at least look over the textbook. Oh, and he's easy on the eyes :)

Pretty darn cool. Likes to have good discussions about the material and will consider your viewpoint and not just preach his angle.

Comment:

Yes Dr. Michael is cute and yes he has lots of experience and funny stories. However, when it comes to actual assignments he is so vague about what he expects that you fail without even knowing it. He acts so cool and you think you are doing well in his class until you get your grades back (weeks later) and you are not doing very well.
