High marks, nice guy, great sense of humour. What more can you ask for?!!! Easy 5s. Let me tell you. An university course cannot go better than one taught by the one and only, Brad Frankland!

The subject might be boring and difficult as heck, but Frankland really enjoys and understands the subject, and tries to bring it across. More than I can say for a lot of other profs.

spent the class time to discuss technicalities that NO one cares about instead of introducing the big picture. underestimates everyone, makes fun of students and ignores emails.

Great prof! Made me actually interested in stats and was very helpful during office hours/email! I could see how he would not be the best for PSYO 2000, but nobody is...it's always a terrible class that nobody wants to teach.

Cruel. I wrote him a polite email asking for permission to register for his class; he replied in an email sent to the entire class that quoted (PUBLICLY!) mine on the top, mocking it for having asked

Comment:

wow what a horrendous prof. Don't bother going to class because he reads the slides verbatim in the most monotone voice and showing the most lack of enthusiasm I've ever seen.Tests were ridiculous, as previously stated options went up to half the alphabet, and there were always multiple correct answers.Paper excerpts were convoluted pieces of crap

He was terrible. All he did was read, verbatim, off of the slides. It does nothing to hold attention...we can all already read! Not even worth getting out of bed for.

Comment:

He is a really nice guy if you go talk to him in person (although his emails are quite strange). His class however is extremely boring and pointless. It's impossible to do really well on his tests, so if your used to A's and A+'s, don't expect too much. The labs were really fun though (but I had awesome TA's).

Comment:

Terrible class terrible prof. Attendence was completely pointless bc all he did was read right off the overheads, and the material was so boring that I'd rather drill holes in my brain. Exams were completely ambiguous- there was always at least 3 rights answers for a question and you had to guess what the "most correct was". Ridiculous.

Comment:

My biggest complaint isn't about the prof so much as it's about how I'm a neuroscience student learning about the face-in-the-****ing-crowd-effect. I'm so fed up with this class and wish there was a research design class geared towards neuroscience. Brad's ok though I do think he does tend to get caught up in himself sometimes. I've talked to peopl

This 'prof' is a REAL ****ING JERK! He is rude, smelley, impolite, terribly unhelpful, AHHHH!!! He pretty much wants his class to fail. On top of that, he is so **** and makes sexual remarks during his lectures and on his tests! His tests are all multiple choice (cuz he's too lazy to do otherwise) and the options are up to J!!! (ABCDEFGHIJ!!)

Comment:

Class was one of the most boring ever. But Frankland tried as hard as he could to make it better. His grading on tests was beyond fair which resulted in many of us doing better than we should have, haha. Seems like a nice guy, but went entirely by the notes. Labs are fun, 20 pages goes by quickly!

Comment:

This is possibly the worst class I have ever taken, besides philosophy, but I dont like phil to begin with. I found he did not deviate very much from the lecture notes, so for me, going to class was pointless. I have not however gone to speak to him in person, but from an email reply I found he was not helpful at all.

Comment:

Funny, seems like a good guy, but TOTALLY uninterested in teaching this course. It was way too easy to tell that he didn't want to be there, and that made me not want to be there myself. I mean...if the prof can't see the point of the class, why should I? The class WAS stupid and pointless, so Frankland must be a smart guy.

this is my most unfavourite class. I took psych 3501 from him, too. stats isn't that interesting, but I don't think it needs to be THIS bad!
