Comment:

he's okay, not too bad but not great. theres a lot to know and don't have time to finish everything. loves voice threads as homework assignments. you watch a lot of little videos that are supposed to help but don't. do learn a lot about the psychology and the law though. he's very nice and understanding and willing to work with you.

Comment:

At first he seems like a great professor from ratings but he's the most confusing prof i've ever had. He doesn't take attendance & babbles the entire class. You'd think it's an easy A but it's NOT. You have no idea what tests are going to be on & even when he hands out study sheets it's like you never even spoke about any of the topics in class.

took Dr. Meller for my PSY seminar during summer session. One thing I will say is you will work hard and it's not easy!!! Spent everyday in the library working. Besides for that, Dr.Meller was one of the most helpful and understanding professors I had. BEsides for the hard work, I learned ALOT for a 5 week course. Big fan. I DEF. RECOMMEND!!

Comment:

Great professor, very helpful, encouraging, and funny. I enjoyed the class but his tests were HARD. READ THE TEXT AND SLIDES. He is not as easy going as he may seem but I learned A LOT. He is in the field so he has plenty of first hand stories. Excellent professor, I recommend him! However, do not take him if you're not interested in the topic!

Comment:

Prof Meller is a really great, interesting, and very intelligent teacher. You have a fairly simple 3 page research paper due once a week (where you pretty much just need to know how to use psychinfo), and a hands-on research paper that you do piece by piece. You get re-writes for literally everything, including your final research paper.

Comment:

Developmental Psych Research Seminar: Bottom line, you're gonna work. There's no final, but there are 10 3-pg research HWs & a research project/paper/presentation which is a pain in the butt. Dr. Meller is nice, funny, & helpful, but I think he's hard to get in touch w/ @ times. He also didn't give half my papers back :P I do recommend him, though!

Great course, great prof. Prof Meller really knows his stuff. Great stories about real cases. Mock trials are pretty nerve racking and tests are not so easy but Prof Meller was willing to help.

I took this class in the summer, which was my first mistake. He's a very good teacher and has a lot to offer. Overall, it was a very difficult class.

Dr. Meller is one of the most intelligent and interesting professors that I have had at this school. However, his graded assignments are rather difficult. Overall, I think he's a great professor for this class.

He seems that he would be easy, except once you get his exam, its SO HARD. I wasnt expecting it. You have to take a lot of notes, but his tests are much deeper than what his notes are. Hes ok, but pretty hard
