Comment:

I thought this class was difficult, not because of the material but because of the amount of stuff you have to learn. I wouldn't discourage you from taking this class because if you work, you can easily get an A. It'll at least teach you discipline.

GO TO CLASS! If you go to class and know the bold terms from each chapter you will ace this class. Also keep up with the reading and read over class notes from the lecture before b/c usually once a week he gives pop quizzes that could help you.

Topics covered in class are very broad and sometimes irrelevant. He also needs to liven up his lectures and examples during class.

Very interesting class. Tests were difficult, but if you put in the time studying and you go to class, you will do well. People that say its hard just don't make the effort. Text is interesting; class is engaging and fun. Would recommend.

A great class! Pretty good teachers, but the TAs grade very hard. Sucks because he doesn't curve.

Not bad for an introductory class. The tests were a little harder than I expected, but you can get a good grade. McNamara is a little self-involved, but it isn't distracting.

This guy is very into himself and his work. If it wasn't for his incredible TA's, I would have done poorly in the class. He made introductory psych very difficult and tricky. HOwever, his TA's were very helpful and available.

Awesome class. McNamara is fun, interesting, and looks like Niles Crane from Fraiser. Lots of people do badly on the tests, but if you study you certainly can get an A.

I thought that Prof. McNamara was good. The tests were difficult, but if you studied, especially the words, they weren't that bad.
