Comment:

worst professor ever. he does not know how to explain concepts clearly and grades completely unfairly from student to student. he doesn't make it clear what he wants during tests and. nd tests are 1000x harder than anything done in class or for hw. he doesnt care about the success of students and makes it impossible to get a good grade in the cour

Comment:

For someone who has one of the most amazing jobs in the word, he seems awfully bored and disinterested. Was mean to certain students and displayed their errors to the entire class. Handed back assignments from August in December so there was really no opportunity to improve. Missed office hours and seemed bothered when questions were asked.

Comment:

Yes, he is a little socially awkward. Yes, can be a harsh grader. That being said... he is a caring person who will reward you with interesting facts and hilarious quips if you take the time to get to know him. Once you accept the fact that he is brutally honest, he is a good professor for anyone who wants to study animal behavior.

Comment:

He's super awkward, but he cares a lot and will help you if you can get past the fact that he chuckles uncomfortably and won't really look you in the eyes. But he's a very caring person, and wants you to succeed.

Comment:

Judge is not helpful within our outside of the classroom, he is prone to biases, and he assigns ridiculous projects. At one point, we were graded on how easily he could recognize our subjects by our sketchings. Unless you have some training in art, I suggest you steer clear.

Comment:

He knows a lot about what he is teaching and he really loves it, however his class is just boring, and I don't feel like I have to do any work, he basically gives out hand outs so you don't have to take any notes. If you like monkeys though, working with them makes the class worth it.

Comment:

he's not bad for animal behavior. You can definitely tell that he is really into what he's teaching you and knows a lot about everything. In my experience he was very helpful and I was able to reach him no problem. He can be a bit boring but overall he's not bad....plus, he shows a ton of MOVIES! I would recommend his course

Comment:

For Animal Behavior, he is absolutely terrible. He is boring, gives terrible powerpoints that follow the textbook word for word, is not easy to reach for assistance, and makes very difficult tests. If you are planning on taking Animal Behavior, make sure he is not teaching it that semester.

Comment:

first few weeks you figure this is going to be another one of those boring classes you can just blow off and get an A. well, ehhhhh. he does give lots of handouts so no need to read the book or anything, especially since all tests are open book and notebook. he does indeed take off points for anything like it is his job. sooo annoying and unfair.

Comment:

His class was good for catching up on sleep, but that's about all. He has an annoying lisp, and to make things worse, practically whispers when lecturing. Follows the book almost perfectly. His tests are open book and pretty easy, but he's very picky. You'll come out of the class with a good grade, yet you probably haven't learned anything.

Comment:

He is easy - at least, if you can figure out how to bring your notes to class (all his tests are open notes) and actually use them. A little boring if you know anything about Statistics, but that means you can doze in class. Just show up and get your sheets of notes and then you are good for the exams.

Demanding but fair. The class was boring at times but that's what I expected from a stats class. He knew the material and explained it well. I learned a lot.

Comment:

He is by FAR the WORST teacher I have ever encountered in my entire life! He is completely unhelpful, always directs you to the TA, and is soooo apathetic to everybody, it's scary... In retrospect, I would have NEVER taken him.

Comment:

Also had him as an independent research advisor. Emphasis on INDEPENDENT. He gave little advice and rarely attended scheduled meetings. In class I will agree that he was a very boring lecturer. It's unfortunate that the animal behavior dept no longer has some of the greats that started it like Candland and Peirara --- they are all extremely knowledgeable aboutt he field of primatology. Judge does not seem to engage with his students as the other professors did.
