Comment:

I had him before online and I distinctly remember one thing from his instruction. One day he went off on the Palestinians and would look right at me. It made me feel uncomfortable because I was the only minority male (MexAm) amongst all white and I am of the same shade as a Palestinian. I always thought to myself what did I do wrong?

Comment:

The professor rambles on about irrelevant stuff 80% of the time. I took this class online and was able to skip most of his useless speeches that go on forever. The TA's grade the 4 mandatory assignments pretty hard according to grammar, not content. Test are easy. Most of the things covered in this class I learned in an intro psych class..

Comment:

Most of the things I learned, I learned from an intro to psyc class at HCC. The TA's are a joke and grade on how well the grammar is rather than the content. If ONE portion of the question is missed, they deduct 89819 points. They take forever to grade the midterm and final. I only studied the ppts and readings.

Well everyone knows about the textbook situation...But the TA's grade hard! And you need more than the few sentences they claim in order to complete the assignments. Study the slides, tests are easy.

Comment:

In my opinion this class an easy way to boost your GPA! True there is a text book scam going on that makes no sense! However I went to the TA's and told them I could not afford the book and I was able to make copies to turn in with my assignment from a student's book. I would say taken him, the work load is light!!!

This class is a joke. Took it online and did not learn anything. The TA's are extremely rude. You can only buy new books because you have to tear out the pages and mail them in with your assignment. I would not recommend this professor.

Like many others, I HAD to take this class because it is the only EPSY 3300 available.Pure scam with the books.Passed the class with pwrpnts. TA's are pompous and not very helpful.They are way to serious about their TA position.Take it at a community college! Spare yourself and stop paying for crap!

Comment:

His videos are not worth watching because he does not stay on topic EVER! Study slides and do your best on hw, the TA's grade harsh. You need 2 NEW books because he makes you rip out the pages which is beyond stupid but since he wrote one its a good scamming system. AND lastly it takes forever to get your test grades back so give it a few weeks..

Comment:

Don't waste your time. He enjoys talking nonsense and going off topic. 1.5 hour class, two times a week. I've learned nothing. All he does is teaches us nursery rhymes. I stopped going to class because it's a waste of my time. Oh and text book scam also. How is he still teaching? Does University of Houston not read teacher evaluations?

Comment:

Most of you students are idiots--and it really upsetting (and frankly scary) that you actually want to become teachers. Enjoy Liberman, learn from him, and realize that he is probably the best teacher you will ever have.

Comment:

Takes advantage of being the only epsy 3300 teacher by making everyone by his book and tear out a couple pages from it. You cant ever resell the book to the bookstore or personally because few key pages are missing. He does it so he can keep his income from the book, oh and that book aint cheap

I took this class online. Pre-taped lectures are so interesting and entertaining that my roommate listened in as well. They are on youtube if you would like to preview. Four easy writing assignments which consist of 2-4 questions each, midterm, and a final. Easiest and most interesting class I took this semester. Highly recommended!

You have to buy the 2 books used in the 4-1pg assignments. Go a few times to get the turnitin information and then stop if u want. Understand how to do You I and Me grammar for 1st test, it's a question. Read the slides and be sure the know the contrasting pov he present compared to actual theory. Also know how to compare/contrast theories.

I listened to the reviews on here and took this class online, which was a great choice. Even watching the video lectures seemed pointless after a while. Just study the powerpoints and read through the articles and you will be good. The class consists of two tests and 4 written assignments.

2 tests, 3 written assignments. You must buy new books! :( The professor: You will think he's funny at first, then later wonder why you even come to class. A roll sheet is passed around everyday making sure you hear his rants about IQ tests, etc. Memorize the powerpoints, you'll be fine. This class is easy. Im counting on an A.

Comment:

A total waste of my tuition and time. Did not learn anything from this boring and obnoxious man. I don't think he knows what he is talking about. Made me "rethink" if I wanted to become a teacher. He makes you buy new books so he can benefit from royalties, and makes you come to class. Don't go to class. Bad news, is the only one teaching EPSSY3300

Comment:

Where to begin? This teacher talks about complete nonsense. Class was at 8am takes rolls says it counts towards your grade...it doesnt! After first month of class I never showed up besides for midterm & final. You write four papers which are graded by ta's and you buy a book where you have to tear pages out. To pass tests just study powerpoints
