Comment:

He isn't always completely clear with how he grades his tests. The material isn't that bad but sometimes he does things differently than in the textbook so you definitely need to go to every class. overall not the worst professor I have had, just a difficult class in general.

Comment:

Professor Arieh is great, but don't take this class if you think you can skim by. You do well by actively reading the textbook chapters and coming to class. Take LOTS of notes. Do practice problems. If you put in the work, you will succeed. His lectures were great at reinforcing the textbook material. Just pay attention and actually put in effort!

Comment:

DO NOT take this professor IF you plan to sit around and get an easy A. This is not a difficult course at all but it does require MINIMAL effort. Come to every class. If you miss one, you may be lost. Copy everything down and all the steps (his handwriting is a little messy). Ask for help. He is very caring and accommodating. Quizzes are simple.

Comment:

The worst professor I have ever had. If you are not a stats person do NOT take this class. I am in the midst of this class & I would never want someone to feel the way I feel. He teaches concepts one time and then expects you to fully understand it after. He is aggressive, condescending, and not aware of what his students need for learning. So sad.

Comment:

DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED! He tries to come off as daunting, but he's a real sweetheart. If you don't understand he will do everything he can to help you. You will definitely need the textbook and you will definitely need to study. Quizzes, tests and assignments are tough, but if you really try you will be fine. Just take a deep breath and take it slow

Comment:

The textbook is the golden ticket for this class, make sure you get the book. Quizzes are given on a couple of chapters combined. The material can be REALLY confusing if you miss a class! Grading is based off of a couple of quizzes, one final, and SPSS research project. Prof Yoav really makes you work hard for his class!!

Comment:

Yoav cares for his students but sometimes he can come off as a jerk. The material isn't too hard but sometimes is hard to follow. You must take good notes and NEVER miss a class because you WILL be lost. A lot of info is covered in one class. Exams weren't too bad, neither is the first paper. The last paper is much harder. It's an OK class.

Comment:

At first, he seems SUPER intimidating and unapproachable but he's really a nice guy. He's funny, helpful, and you can tell he loves what he does. Read the textbook, PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS because if you miss one then you're lost, and make sure to take notes PROPERLY.

Any one that failed this class is probably because they did NOTHING all semester. You have to actually try to fail ! How can you not get an A if he literally shows you STEP BY STEP what he wants in his assignments! Deff recommend taking him !

Great Professor! I took his online class and if you work hard, study all the material he puts on canvas, watch all the videos, and do the assignments, you will do well. He is very understanding and really helps you learn the material by his really helpful videos and audio files.

I think he's an amazing professor, he may come off as a hard but honestly he just wants the best for us. He makes us work hard to earn good grades as well as learning the material. I wouldn't mind taking him again! I had him for 220 and when I got to 301 I was so prepared because I learned so much from his class!

He may have very messy hand writing, but you get used to it. Lectures are very easy to follow and he goes through everything many times to help you understand. He cracks jokes once and awhile and can get sassy when people do not read or ask questions that he just went over. But he is an incredible professor and I would take him again.

Yoav is honestly one of the best professors in the Psych Department. He is clear about all of his assignments. If you ask him to clarify things he will repeat/ explain! If you take the class seriously and put in effort, you will get a good grade. He gives papers so that you'll have something to show for grad school apps. A very great class & Proff!

Comment:

Dr. Arieh is a great professor who really wants his students to learn. His courses are tough, so if you want to just float by you won't do well. Had him for 3 classes and got As in all of them. If you make the effort you will gain a lot of knowledge about SPSS and research methods. The kids who didn't like his course we're the lazy ones.

Yoav is an amazing professor who expects his students to actively participate in their education. His lectures are clear-cut, but read the textbook and you will be set for an A. Class goes fast, but go to him with practice problems and questions and he will absolutely help you. Taught me essential stats skills that are necessary for our field.

Comment:

Terrible handwriting, talks down on students, and he's a very hard grader. Quizzes are mainly made up of computations true false and short answer questions.. Talks fast, write down everything he says. Don't miss class, you'll miss a lot. Overall you learn a lot, his quizzes can be tricky, be careful. You really have to work for a good grade.

Comment:

Depends what course he teaches if he's cool or not, but for experimental psych- god bless. Very confusing & unclear on the papers he assigns (10+ pages). All quizzes are short answers so if you don't study your ass off you'll get a 0. You need to work extremely hard for a decent grade. Class average is a D. Most people have to retake course.

Comment:

Overall this was a pretty easy class to pass. He gives you study guides for every quiz and lets you use a formula sheet. There's also extra credit on every quiz. He isn't the coolest professor, but if you pay attention you'll do fine. Also drops the lowest quiz grade. If you're okay with going to class and paying attention, you'll get an A.

Proff. Arieh is great! He tells it like it is. Very clear in what he expects of you. Makes you work hard, but is always open to answering questions and helping students out. His class really prepared me well for future use of Stats and SPSS. If you're looking to learn a lot, and get a fair grade for what you put in, take his class.

Very strong accent and a low speaker. Does not explain in clear details or in steps, very hard to understand what he is teaching. Buy the book and read it 4 times in order to pass!
