Comment:

The tests in this class came almost exclusively from the book which I did not like. You don't want to skip lectures though because he gives four in class assignments that have intense make-up assignments if you miss them. He does offer extra credit through psychology experiments which saved my grade because my test average was low for me.

Comment:

His tests are difficult and cover a lot of info he does not even mention during lecture. You have to read the book and take fantastic notes to do well on the exams. He is super boring and his lectures drag on because he will talk about something for 10 minutes that should have taken 30 seconds.

Comment:

The class has a lot of info that is covered with very short exams, so if you miss 3 points you're already at a B. Hes not very helpful when asking for study tips for his exams. However if you ask him for a review sheet he will make one for you, but half the questions will not be relevant to the exam. Hardest part is exams. Doesn't have a textbook.

Comment:

Pretty easy course. Do the connect, write the autobiography, and notes. Sometimes the content in the tests don't really match up to what was in lecture or the reading even though that is what he says. He thinks he is the funniest guy and tries to make jokes a lot and that can get kind of annoying.

The class went so slow for me. His test are difficult. I did not do so well on them. But since I did all the assignments, homework, and some extra credit I still got a great grade.

Comment:

Thinks he is God's gift to Psychology, tests suck and cover material that has not been mentioned in class, but 3 days worth of lecture material will not make an appearance on exams. Seems like he is trying to prove you wrong anytime you speak out in class.

I took his class as a summer course. He really knows his information about Psychology. If you enjoy Psy you should take him. He is very knowledgable and answers your questions at any time.

Not very clear, test=incredibly hard, puts about 4 chapters on each test that he doesn't cover at all. This class is a joke. Take it only if you enjoy being tortured by stupid people.

If he could get over himself and how much he knows about psychology and acted liked he cared about his students passing, the class might me decent. I think he gets pleasure out of trick questions!

I learned alot in the class and felt that most of the material was straitforward. Many students complain about clarity but never actually discuss it with the professor teaching them the stuff.

Very knowledgeable and this guy is his own God! If he were not so full of himself and just taught the course with learning in mind rather than tests and scoring ...it would be a much more enjoyable experience. I earned an A in the course!!

Comment:

He created slides that he whizzed through without giving students a chance to write the material down. He was fair on grading papers, however his tests were difficult considering he wasn't very clear on the material.

You will learn a lot in class and it is fairly easy as long as you pay attention and show up to class.
