Comment:

Professor Hamlin was more interested in telling us to put our phones away than teaching us statistics. He has very specific rules and takes a very long time to grade tests. He came off as rude and condescending.

Comment:

Professor Hamlin is a great professor, but he's difficult to follow in advanced stats. Homework wasn't graded until halfway through the semester so all grades were given at one time, and the same mistakes were counted off for every assignment due to lack of grading criteria being stated. Tests are difficult, but you get to take a formula notecard.

Comment:

Dr. Hamlin is a nice guy. He is funny and keeps you engaged but if you struggle in stats and have anxiety I dont recommend to have him for advanced stats. He lectures but he fishes for answers on every single student in the class. He also takes forever grading tests (about 3 weeks in average) that makes harder to know if you will pass or not.

Ive had Hamlin for 2 years. He gives great lectures and a ton of extra credit/ curving. Make sure to attend class. As long as you understand concepts he is fair with grading. Wear Broncho for extra credit! Stats is never easy but he makes it as understanding as possible. Great professor! It also helps that he is eye candy

Took him for Ev. of Human Sex Behavior intersession. Lots of useful info I didn't expect and more guys should take it. He's super professional teaching this course as well. If you take as an intersession, buy the book and read it ALL ahead of time!!! It will definitely save you the headache and make outlines easier!

Comment:

One of the best professors I've ever had. Took him for stats, and was scared of failing because it's -- Stats. But he made the lectures fun & very understandable. He grades on a curve, which saved a lot of our butts, haha. I'm going to take him for every class I can tbh.

Comment:

Dr. Hamlin was a great professor. He's not lying when he said "It takes practice" or you'll get lost. Unlike most of my other classes, there is no "purging" after each exam. They all build on each other so you have to make sure you really know what you are doing after each class. Not that it matters, but he's fun to look at (:

Comment:

Make sure that you take notes during lecture, as well as read the textbook religiously. Not doing so will hurt you drastically. Also, Dr. Hamlin can be very impatient while teaching statistics because he thinks that you should instantly retain everything he tells you. He offers help outside of class but I would recommend just going to a tutor.

I love Dr. Hamlin! Stats was super hard, but he makes it interesting and thoroughly explains everything. If you do the work, go to class, and see him in office hours you will be fine! He even had tutoring for 2 hours on Fridays, I went every time and understood everything so much better in that setting. EFFORT IS KEY!

Dr. Hamlin is an awesome professor! He's very passionate about teaching, and makes statistics interesting. Stat is very difficult especially if you're not good at math, but he really does explain things clearly and tries his hardest to make it fun for us. Plus, he's the Dean of Psychology, so it's good to get to know him!

I hate stats but he made me love it! Don't get me wrong this is not an easy class but as long as you try and study you should do fine. I thought he was a fantastic teacher. I would take him for another course if I could.

Comment:

You must show up and you must be present mentally as well. Do not wear another school shirt to his class (other than UCO, ie: OSU & OU) unless you're prepared to answer questions all period. He is clear and explains material well. Do not overthink it. You have to study for the tests though and use your time wisely as the tests cover a lot.

Comment:

If you plan to be a psychologists, learning why you use statistics is imperative. Dr. Hamlin layers the learning process with lectures, homework, and challenging material. If you go to class and ask for help when you need it, you'll get it.

Dr. Hamlin is my absolute favorite psychology professor (along with Dr. Rupp). He is very knowledgeable and helpful but at the same time he expects you to do the work. like any teacher would. He is the chair of the psychology department so get to know him. Also he is ADORABLE!

I think he is a nice guy...cute too, lol. However, the lectures tend to be a little too fast to write notes of good quality. He does have strict rules you need to follow.

Tests are difficult and you MUST read before class and come prepared. That may seem awful but it's for your benefit and keeps you on top of things. You cannot keep up with this class if you don't read. The lectures are fun. Oh yeah... Come to class, wear broncho pride & don't be late.
