Comment:
One of the kindest, most genuine professors I have ever had. While he is somewhat of a tough grader, an A is attainable if you do the work. He is extremely accessible for office hours and explains concepts in a super clear way. Cares about each and every one of his students and is also a really funny dude

Comment:
His lectures are intriguing. He's hilarious and incredibly intelligent. He cares about his students. Go to his office hours to discuss test questions and papers, and you will do well. I took most of my psychology classes with him for the major. He helped me improve my writing, and I actually remember what I learned in his classes. He's great.

He is a great guy! The subject matter that he teaches isn't all that interesting, since Cognitive Psych is basically just competing theories, but he manages to make it funny and engaging. Gives list of 12 questions before tests and some will be on the exam. He is a hard grader but a great dude.

He is sooooo helpful. Always in his office. I actually enjoyed statistics, and I hate math. Really cute and funny, too.

Great prof. Nicest guy, too. He is always available to help you and makes stats so clear. Funny, too and uses lots of examples from his family.

The guy is a great prof. People who don't like him are just the people who didn't want to put in the time needed to pass the tests.

Nice guy, but EXTREMELY nitpicky and focuses on small details rather than concepts. You might like his class if you're that way yourself, but otherwise you'll do better with someone like Sanderson who'll give you a clearer overview of the Big Picture.

Surprisingly hard for an intro class, and I have no idea where his curves came from because few people deserved the grades they got. Take the class with Sanderson and get an A instead of a B.
