Comment:
Extremely difficult. Nothing is explained in class. You simply go over a computer program for generating spectrograms. Have to do most of the learning on your own. Exams were difficult. Contained ideas we had never been taught.

Not good... he goes on tangents often, his tests are hard, he is not useful whatsoever, everything is hard to do because he makes it.

Comment:
Did not clarify goals of the class, what was expected on homework, did not provide options for students whose computer could not handle the software used for homework assignments, frequently went on tangents, lead lectures in a seemingly disconnected manner with now flow or segway into the next topic.

Comment:
teaches like ur supposed to have taken a class in the area before. not clear and uses terms on tests that were never discussed. jumps around, u never know what the lecture will be on, the study guide doesnt really help for the test. never there to get help. he only teaches to get $$ for his research

Course taught as if you are supposed to have already taken a class in this area. Not clear about what the test will cover, uses words and terms that are never explained in lecture. Not an easy class.

Comment:
Painfully pointless course and Watkin doesn't take it seriously at all. On the plus side, it's a no-brainer if you want a work-free behavioral sciences gen-ed.

A good prof. Very knowledgable, almost too much. The class was good, relatively easy although I hear 201 is much much harder.
