Comment:

Cognitive Psych is not an easy course. He gives you all the materials in order to succeed-you MUST go to class, take notes, and for god sake keep up with the study guides!!! A lot of intense memorization is required-if you're not good at that type of test taking don't bother with this class. Also-take advantage of the man's office hours! So helpful

Dr. Needham is a brilliant man. He knows how to teach and is very passionate about what he teaches. His class was tough and you have to pay attention, read well, and take good notes. He taught me a lot about how to read psychological studies and how to understand them. He's very nice too.

Comment:

Really good professor! He goes thru examples in class so you actually understand whats going on instead of just reading the book. Always available for questions and gives review sheets and practice tests so your really prepared. Just got to do everything he asks from you to get an A+ in his class like i did

A good teacher, although clearly very nerdy. He's nice and gets excited about the funniest things. The tests are easy and it's possible to pass the class without really learning anything.

The material is not what I expected, a little more on the science side of things. He's willing to help you out and go over anything you don't understand, so thats cool at least.

This man is why so many of us can actually get through the psych program. Plus he has some fantastic stories, smokes a pipe, & wears the same thing every single day, wonderful!
