Comment:

Was unwilling to help students at all. Lectures were extremely boring and he did not seem interested at all. He also seemed to be grumpy most of the time. Does not give extra credit and the only thing the grade is based on is three tests and one really long and complicated paper.

He didn't know the basic health terms I used so he spread lies gossiping against me which usurped my progress.

Not a difficult class, though nothing is curved. Prof. Davidson was very boring and not particularly helpful. I found that reading the textbook got me through everything swimmingly. Also, his hair is stuck in the nineties.

He was a pretty decent teacher and gave a lot of examples and descriptions so you could understand his slides. The tests were pretty straight forward but pretty hard. The papers for lab were very time consuming and difficult. Make sure you go to your TA a lot for help.

Professor Davidson does not seem to be interested in teaching or in his subject at all. This sets the tone for the class. Lectures are very boring and don't seem very useful.

Comment:

This class wasn't that bad. The tests were very straightforward (multiple choice and a couple short answer). The two papers were time-consuming but not that hard. All the notes (exactly what he used in lecture) were posted online -- I slept through nearly every class and still got an A.

Comment:

His lectures are very clear, the tests, while not easy are exactly what he tells you to study. You can get 5% extra credit for the "surprise" quizzes, it is pretty much imperative to come to class. If you go to class, go to lab and put an effort into the papers you should be able to get an A pretty easily.

Comment:

Honestly one of my least favorite professors, he made a bad habit out of trying to punish students for doing well. Everytime the students did decent he made the tests harder. Also very boring, but only professor that teachings this so good luck

Is a good guy and will look after students. You only have to put in a little bit of 1 on 1 time with him, and you'll gain a lot back! :)

Comment:

This class is tough but don't complain, if you are int his it is because you should be serious about psychology. He is a little hard to understand on some points but he's willing to explain if you stay after class. Look over the points in the book he tells you to, and skim the rest over too. If you study hard you'll be good, he is not a bad prof.

Comment:

This is a hard class. Exams are multiple choice/short essay. Lecture material is not very helpful for exams. Read the textbook to do well on the exams. The lab for this class sucked! 2 hours once a week you attend lab and learn how to write research papers. There are several writing assignments and 2 research papers. This class is work!

Comment:

This class is rough and his lectures don't help much. He doesn't preface anything and will just dive in leaving you clueless as to what's important. He is nice and wants to be fair and for students to understand material. Tests are hard, I suggest reading all chapters.
