Comment:
greta prof! very enthusiastic loves to bring humour into his lessons. You will not be bored. This class had the best attendance I have ever seen! He teaches with the attitude that he wants his students to do well. You may learn some history about his family or dog but their is usually some relevance to lecture material.

Comment:
Talks too much about himself and his dog for my liking. Nice guy, but not the most interesting lecturer in the world. Will repeat himself from minute-to-minute and lecture-to-lecture (even course-to-course). Steer clear unless you like weird assignments - unlike anything you've done in university, and enjoy reading really dull, dry texts.

Comment:
I have to say he is probably one of the better prof in the psych department. I left his course knowing the material much better than my other courses and I barely take down any notes. The topics are very interesting. Make the class feel more like large discussion rather than throwing info at you like in other courses. Very Good Prof.

He's great! You almost never have to take notes, since it's all in the package. And he basically tells you what the essay questions are going to be on the exams.

His courses are easy if you like memorizing useless statistics and lists from his boring textbook and handout packages. The packages are disorganized and hard to read. Each package could've been printed on 5-10 pages. If you like to think, stay clear.

lol this prof is awesome, his lectures are sooooo interesting, his multiple choice are hard, so you must read the textbook carefully, his paper was really simple and straightforward, follow his guidelines and you are guaranteed an A, he gives you hints for the short answer part of the tests to help you studying. Overall great prof!!!

Great sense of humour makes 3 hours go by more quickly. Even with his notes and handouts, I still sucked on his tests. Nonetheless, thinking back on my U of T days, he was my fav teacher. Topics were interesting.

It's obvious that most ratings here were done by slackers. His questions come straight from his notes which are available to purchase. He hints majorly for test Q's. Always a choice on what to answer. Intelligent, funny guy. If you can't handle his class or think the tests are hard, then try showing up and studying. I got 90+ in multi courses.

He is a good prof. The topics can be sumtimes boring but moslty his lectures are really good, and interesting. His mcq are hard, so STUDY the text, but he gives really good hints for the rest of the test, which help u focus in one direction. Good prof overall

ALo of people complain that he is very picky on mcq. But on the 1st day of class...he told us that. So if u still decide to skim through the text...then i guess u deserve to fail....

Comment:
My friend described him in a way which I believe most of us will agree: EGO-CENTRIC MANI*C. Don't be surprise if you see something on the exam that he didn't teach, it happens. One good thing about him though, it's the hints before tests, it narrows your study down by a tad. Go to classes, read your materials, 1 semester with him aint THAT bad. ^o)
