Comment:

Really nice guy, but he's extremely old fashion. Doesn't use any new technology. Even your grades will be posted on a sheet of paper pinned to a wall. That being said, he's a very good teacher and knows his material well.

Comment:

Decent guy overall. Knows the material well. However, indicates that he can be reached outside of class for certain things such as obtaining exam marks and then doesn't answer emails. Pay close attention to material covered in class but not in the textbook.

Great man but he does not prepare you well enough for the final (which is prepared by the psych dept and NOT him).

Comment:

He has very good examples to make students understand concepts, and definately knows what he is talking about. The lectures are very interesting, midterms are hard...you really need to pay attention to everything he says. Has a good sense of humor and can crack some good jokes!

Had him for both 1101 and 1102. Best Psych classes I've ever taken. Overall, he was the best professor I have ever had. He lecture style is quite structured as well as results oriented.

Comment:

BY far the best prof at U of O. I agree with what has been said: he is entertaining, makes coming to class a joy,and I have learned more from him than from any other prof. Unfortunately, he set the bar so high, I have been repeatedly dissapointed by other profs ever since! I think all profs should sit in on a lecture with him to see how its done!
