Comment:

He talks about x rated films in EVERY class he teaches.. Not very relevant most of the time. When he's not mentioning p#$n he'll shove his opinion down your throat about off topic discussions, politics for example. Honestly a good guy maybe but has the vibe of a predator.. I think he wants you to do bad since the class is graded on TWO EXAMS.

No e in his last name. Wonderful professor! Brain and Behavior he teaches is a hard class but only for those who do not study properly. He is very helpful, goes extra ways to help you during office hours and beyond. Always available. Great sense of humor. Very intelligent and interesting. Take as many classes with him as you can.

Comment:

I've never seen a professor force their personal opinions on you during class time as much as he did. He interrupts you while you're talking, and deflects your questions. Your grade is quizzes, a midterm & a final. Study guides are unclear and if you miss a lecture... good luck with catching up. I won't ever be taking a class taught by him again.

Comment:

Easily the best professor i've had at Keene. Very lecture heavy. You won't pass if you skip class but I look forward to going every day. Need to take good notes during his lectures but as long as you do that you're golden. A lot of short online quizzes that help boost your grade. Amazing professor.

DO NOT miss a lecture if it's possible! I was scared that if I ever skipped, my grade would plummet! I had a tutor, so I definitely suggest getting one from Aspire, they're super helpful! I probably would have failed without the tutoring sessions.

Comment:

These professor is horrible. Every class that I have attended he has managed to say something incredibly offensive & disrespectful. He has commented on topics that should not even be brought up in this course. He tends to favor the druggies when asked questions. But whenever I ask something pertaining to the info being taught, he dismisses me.

It is a hard subject, but he is an awesome guy. He is always available for students to talk to in his office or before or after class. He gives breaks during his class. His tests are a bit hard though so take good notes. His lectures are funny and you will hear a lot of great stories!

Comment:

Easily one of the most interesting professors I've had. I enjoyed his presentations very much. Classes are all lectures, but he is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and passionate. The class has difficult concepts, but if you show up, take notes, and make use of TA's you will do fine. I did not find it very difficult personally.

Comment:

This class requires you to go, many things are mentioned that are not in text, or on the slides in which he presents from. Great man, willing to go the extra mile for you. If you can go to the TA sessions, I would. All the answers are right in front of you. Weekly quizzes are a great study guide. And since it is required to graduate take his class.

Very hard class. Weekly quizzes are open book and easy 100's but his midterm and finals are very hard, almost impossible (11 page study guides). Hard Hard Class.

Comment:

The work is very challenging and somewhat hard to comprehend. However, he is passionate about his work and makes it as easy as he can for his students. He tells a lot of stories, somewhat relevant, but always funny. Good guy, hard class. So I recommend if you have him as a professor, go to class!

Comment:

I thought the material was interesting, but he goes off on stories a lot. I hated how he would go over 45min mark when I had a class after his. I was doing horrible on the tests until I got a tutor. I was definitely suggest getting a tutor for this class. I ended up with a AB after my awesome tutor broke down the material.

I had Dr. Clark (there's no "e" at the end of his name!) for Brain & Behavior. The class was insanely hard, but he's funny, interesting, passionate, and even a little hot (great smile). I would definitely take another course from him.

Great professor! Teaches the new and strange IQL class from many different angles. Mismeasure of Man from what I have seen is the best IQL class out there! He makes the time fly, and he is really funny. I highly recommend Dr. Clark!
