I look Dr. Ben-Zeev's 371 course for SUMMER 2019, so it was much faster than a regular semester. Weekly homework and quizzes. Ben-Zeev and the TAs did not want us to fail and acted as resources for students. Allowed notes and textbook for the final.

This class was interested, but theyve totally mess up my grades. The TAs dont give fair grading. One gives you a better grade than the other one, just depends who is grading the quiz/paper. The professor is nice but at the same time makes you feel stupid if you dont write what he wants. Hello, were still learning.

The professor is nice but I don't like how the grade is. One TA will give you a higher grade than the other. For example, for a quiz I received a 1.5/3 and this other student received a 3/3 when the answer were almost the same. I don't understand why. I wouldn't it taken this class, but I needed it to graduate.

Dr. Ben-Zeev cares about his students. He will reach out as long as you make the same effort in reaching out and he will meet you in the middle. His personal story is inspiring and he definitely knows what he is talking about. He did not get to where he is without knowledge !

Ben-Zeev is a great educator! Very understanding and inspirational teacher! There's 6 easy quizzes based on reading, midterm, &final. At the beginning of the class he said he was teaching the class as if it were a grad class. I almost decided to drop. Glad I didnt cause I learned a lot about the class & myself. Definitely pushes his students!!!!

Dr. Ben-Zeev really cares about his students and your success in his class. Utilize your resources and meet with him during office hours. He wouldn't give you the answer but will make you think about the concepts in class so that you can fully understand it yourself without him telling you. Amazing and inspiring lectures.

Dr. Ben Zeev is a great professor and is obviously very knowledgeable when it comes to the subjects covered. I have always been awful at math, so having the separate lablecture was a major help. Participation is mandatory and can easily alter your grade so make sure you're there. TA's are a huge help in this course so get familiar.

He has been probably the best professor I have had at SFSU. Really cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Clearly cut course with instructions all laid out. T.A.s are also amazing and making the material really easy to understand.

This class was tough but not impossible. I was so thankful for my TA. He made everything clear in lab that I couldn't understand in lecture because sometimes Ben-zeev made it too intimidating to ask questions. Do not try to miss class, Study hard, do all homework, and you will easily get an B or A.

Took his summer session research methods class and it was intense and tons of work. Mostly read articles then worked on a group research study but it was alot of work. He was very kind and helpful and got a grade higher than I expected

Dr. Ben-Zeev is one of the best professors I've ever met at SFSU. He is smart and cares about his students. If you attend class and do extra credits, you can easily get an A. If you are psych major, take his cognitive psychology class.

TA taught most of the class and they were only one semester ahead. The standard of the class was quite low, which meant that it was an easy A. I learned some, but I think if Ben-Zeev would have actually held the entire lecture, more knowledge would have come across.

If you want to learn more than formulas and calculations for psychological statistics I recommend Dr. Ben-Zeev. Hopefully you are intrinsicly motivated to work hard, because he will challenge you to think outside the box. This is definitely applied statistics! You will walk away with a deeper understanding of statistics. Take this class seriously!

The TA's taught the entire course and every wk he left after ~45 min. Very interesting teacher, I want to take his other courses, but I was very disappointed in how he taught stats. That being said however, it was nice to get a B on the midterm, BOMB the final, and end up with a B+ in the class
