Dr. Sprott is a great professor. I took him for hdev 432. One db a week with 2 replies, as well as a weekly quiz. I passed with a B with only skimming through the text. No final, only a case study at the end which is super simple.

GREAT PROFESSOR!! His lectures are amazing. He helps you make connections between each assignment. I have taken him for Theories of Human Development, Adolescent Development, and this summer for Child Language Dev. He's an "Easy A", but I only say this b/cus, he is clear on what he is looking for, and how he wants you to structure it. TAKE HIM!!

Great professor overall. I have had him for three courses. One of my favorite classes was Adolescent Prevention and Intervention. He's not so stickler that he takes everything out of the textbook. Honestly feel like he cares about your opinion. Very responsive. Gives good feedback. Willing to help his students.

I liked his lecture style. Very well spoken and to the point. Some people think his style is boring but I really enjoyed his tone and pace. Weekly discussion board postings, two papers and a final. We were only given 4 days to work on the last paper though so be prepared. Most people I spoke to got As on all papers so he's not a harsh grader.

Took developmental psych thorough UC Berkeley with him. He was very critical and told me my opinion was wrong on discussion boards! You can write him essays and he will still tell you something is wrong with it even though you made changes based on his previous suggestions. Wouldn't put myself through that hell again.

I've taken 3 classes from this professor and he is really easy online but really boring if you have to listen to his lectures, I suggest bringing other things to do to his class. But overall a good teacher that gives you all the material you need

Took his online Child Language Development class. Very interesting and learned a lot! He really taught his students many things. Podcasts were ok, but some were a bit boring. Class consisted of weekly reading assignments, weekly quizzes, 2 weekly discussion boards, and a case study. Would recommend him and would take him again :)

He's an alright professor. Lectures are boring and the online exams are from the text. There are four homework assignments, four exams, no extra credit and a six page essay.

This class is pretty average for me. The text is a bore! Tests are cut and dry, straight from text. The paper you have to write you don't receive how to write it till the second to last week it's due.

Professor Sprott knows what he's talking about! He's very helpful and wants to make sure you get what he's tryin to lecture on. Sometimes I couldnt get it but I wouldnt ask. He assigns 2 page papers and grades easily, assigns tests online that are open book open notes. Taking him again!

Comment:
Dr. Sprott is a skilled lecturer who knows his subject matter well. His tests are of average ease but he words questions differently from text info so going to class is a good idea. I found him to be somewhat of a tough grader but also very fair. I recommend his classes for those interested in child development.

Prof. Sprott taught the first part of the human dev junior core class. The lectures were recorded so I never attended a class, but from the recordings his lectures were clear and easy to understand. Midterms and quizzes were done online, they were open book and notes. He didn't set a time limit for the tests which really helped.

Two 1-page essays and two exams (midterm and final - all online). Attendance is not required. His tests are VERY easy. Everything was pretty much in the book, but it takes time to find it. Going to the lectures helps, but isn't completely necessary. I recommend it though, because he is a great lecturer and he isn't boring.
