Comment:

Psyc390 is a good course. There are two exams worth 150 point each (3 points per question) & each exam contains 50 questions. There are two papers worth 50 points each. Read the textbook/notes & must go to two review sessions. It is not an easy A because you get two chances to excel. It is an easy B even if you score low (C-) on one of two exams.

Comment:

Professor Martin is one of the best in the psychology department at UD. The classes are mostly lecture and some videos. The material is very interesting, he has great stories, and he really cares about his students. 2 exams and 2 papers, that's it. Would definitely recommend taking anything he teaches!

Comment:

This class is really easy, 2 exams and 2 papers. The PowerPoints are all online and you really don't need to show up to class. There are 2 review sessions before each exam which go over everything you'll need to know. Just memorize the definitions and some examples and you'll be fine. The papers are also easy and self explanatory.

Dr Martin is my favorite prof of all time and wrote my letter of rec. Lectures are so interesting you don't even mind being there for 2 hours. Tells you exactly what you need to know and even gives you questions from the test. Really nice and caring guy too, you can go to him about anything and he will help. An absolute gem, wish he taught more

Comment:

This was the most interesting psych course that I have ever taken at the university! Professor Martin always lets the class out early (since it is scheduled for 3 hours) and comes up with jokes and maintains the class's interest the entire time! I would absolutely take other classes with him! He goes over almost everything in the textbook as well!

Comment:

One of the best professors I've had at UD!! I wish he taught more classes! Class is always interest, he is very experience in the field so he has great examples of the techniques. If you study the textbook and powerpoints you will do fine. He never uses the full 3 hours, lets you go 1.5 early

One of the best professors at UD! He is extremely helpful and understanding if a problem arises. He has so much experience in behavior modification so he's able to relate much of what hes teaching to real life examples. The class is interesting and if you go and study there's no way you can't get an A.

Comment:

Dr. Martin made this 3 hour class go very quickly and his lectures were interesting with great examples from his past work with behavior mod. I was unsure about taking a 3 hour night class, but we usually got out early and the time flew by anyways. He is a great professor and I definitely recommend this class for a 400 psyc!

Great class! Make sure to read the slides and the textbook in order to do well. Class never went the full three hours, usually was only an hour and a half. Sometimes frustrating because slides were directly from the textbook, but information was very straightforward and interesting. Definitely take for a psych 400 level class!

Great professor. Kept me awake in a three hour class, but we rarely stayed three hours. Midterm, final, and two short papers. Interesting class and professor.

Really nice guy, can be a little ignorant sometimes but nothing too offensive. Class is a little boring but he makes it somewhat enjoyable with the stories he has to tell. Overall, the class is fairly easy. Review the slides, read the chapters, follow the directions for the two short papers and you'll have an A for sure. Easy A.

LOOVEED this professor. He tried to scare you in the beginning by telling you about the long tests and the 10 pg research paper but its really not that bad. If you go to class, which you'll want to because it's soo interesting, you'll ace the tests. Take the challenge..you'll be glad you did.

Comment:

Is a good professor, with very interesting material, but there is not enough here to make a whole class. We are tested twice, once on 6 lectures and again on 3 lectures (does this make sense?) and write a paper that is heavily critiqued, but is nothing more than a time-filler. Class needs overhaul
