Comment:

He was very unsure of himself. He would teach something and then when everyone was understanding he would change his answer. He also snapped at people a few times. He's a relatively decent teacher for the material he's teaching

Comment:

I love Dr. Ardoin. He has a great sense of humor and tries to make it as interesting as possible as the class material is extremely boring. I didn't have to study much and made A's and B's on all the test. I would highly recommend Dr. Ardoin.

Comment:

This class was pretty hard and extremely boring and professor Ardion was aware of that. He said all the time that he understood that PSYC 227 is boring. BUT you have to take it and he was a really good professor. He works with you and really wants you to do well. He does offer extra credit at the end of the semester. Really nice guy. I got a B.

Comment:

Professor Ardoin is a great professor in my opinion! Sure his class isn't easy, but he's willing to work with you. I did the extra credit assignment at the end of the year and even though it was challenging it really helped my final grade. Going to his office is a way to get to know Dr. Ardoin and I'm sure he appreciates his students showing inter

i swear this guy has needs to work on his confidence. he is always assuming that just because my friends and i are laughing-that we are laughing at him.. also he can be unclear--and makes you wonder if it is because he doesnt know what he's talking about in the first place

Comment:

I actually really like Dr. Ardoin. His tests were pretty challenging, but he was a very nice guy and wanted to help out the class. He begged us to come to his office hours for help. The extra credit assignment was RIDICULOUSLY hard and long so no one did it, but at least he gave the option. He also gave smaller extra credit assignments to help.

Comment:

He doesnt seem to know what hes teaching and kinda gets confused within his own sentences. His tests are pretty hard and it seems like he makes an easy subject hard.. I really hated the course.. he even gave an extra credit assignment but made it so hard that no one out of the 70 people in the class did it..

Comment:

CPS really sucks. Hurts your grade if don't know you're cps#. He really doesn't care about his students, seems really annoyed if you want help. Tries to make easy material really tricky on tests. Have to take notes on top of the blackboard notes which you don't realize till after the test. Each test is 25% of grade. Average in class is 76 ontest

Comment:

Dr. Ardoin is very enthusastic about what he teachers. But sometimes his clarity isn't all that great. His lectures are the same everyday and get kind of boring. His tests and quizzes are reasonable. Go to class, sometimes when he's low on quizzes he'll just ask you to wirte your name down.

Comment:

He puts all notes on Blackboard, you just fill-in-the-blanks in class, so its really easy. If you go to class, pay attention, and study AT ALL you will do well on tests. And if for some reason you don't, go to his office hours and he is INCREDIBLY helpful. A very nice guy too!! highly recommended!

Comment:

The class is really easy, pretty much common sense, but ardoin sometimes has a hard time explaining things. his specialty is with children and he talks about it a lot. his tests are really easy, and he gives lots of quizzes, which he uses for attendance. oh yeah, he sweats a lot too!

Take any class he teaches. He is very helpful, very fair, notes on blackboard, presents material in an easy to understand format. One of the rare professors that actually cares about his students. Tests are are a little tough, but A's and B's are possible

Comment:

Dr. Ardoin is a young professor. The year that I had him (fall 2002) was his first year at Carolina and the first year teaching 226. He had all of our notes on blackboard to make it easier on us. Tests were pretty difficult though.
