The professor does not know how to teach and the lectures are extremely boring. The GSI is condescending and treats students like we're in elementary school. I have yet to learn a single thing from this class.

Comment:

Hands down! I had a very strong desire to take this class, but I have to admit this class was not exciting at all! You waste a lot of time figuring out how to deal with the abstract requirements for the homework or project, I don't know why anyone will enjoy doing so. Plus, you don't really learn a lot despite the fact he covers a lot materials.

Hands down the worst class I have taken at this school. The lectures are bland, it is impossible to pay attention, and hardly any of the students know whats going on because the material is so abstract. I know there are limited upper-level psych class but Save yourself!!

Comment:

Reasons not to take this class: Unnecessarily deceptive exams (absolute bullsh--), little, if any relation to psychology (it's a business class) no avenue for creativity in assignments (every assignment in the class follows a template), mandatory attendance (we're in college, we have free will. this isn't high school), plus the other reviews. AVOID

Comment:

Due to some clever (evil?) scheduling you're hit with a final exam AND a final project basically within the same time period. Just something to think about when deciding to take this class. How many other classes do you have two finals in?

Comment:

Frank knows his stuff, though at times his class on decision making processes came off as a cheesy business seminar. His lectures are involved and he learned the names of everyone in lecture by the second or third week of class, so you need to be on your toes.
