Comment:
Simons is a helpful and nice man. The material he teaches isn't very interesting but he does make the effort. The first few weeks seem simple but don't get too confident, it gets much more difficult. I assumed this class would be an easy B, but I ended up with a C. My advice: try very hard on homework, attend office hours, and go to class.

Comment:
This class was so hard. I basically had to teach myself the material, which was doable. I stopped paying attention after awhile because he teaches really fast and was kind of unclear. Regardless, he is a very nice guy. Will do anything he can to help you. Long homeworks due once a week, very hard to do well on them. 3 tests. He curves at the end.

Comment:
simons can seem cold, but i think he teaches well. he is an odd guy. lots of hw, but thats where you actually learn the material. class is all groupwork. you cant BS his exams, either REALLY know your stuff or you wont get better than a 75. curve helps.

Comment:
Well first of all the material in this class is terrible. So boring! Simons is not very clear and does not give you much direction. Exams are nothing like the in class activities. You get a few hours worth of homework a week and it's only worth about 10% all together. This class sucks, it's so much work and it does not pay off. Stay away if you can

This class is definately not easy, but its also not impossible. The material can be confusing & the work never ends but if you really put in the effort(go to his office hours if you need help) and GET A GOOD GROUP youll be fine.

Comment:
Nothing against Simons, but this class BLOWS. He explains things when you are confused and can be very helpful. He says if you aren't doing well that you should drop the class or switch majors which is a bit odd and discouraging. There are assignments due on webct every week and they are a b*tch to get done. He doesn't lecture, you work in groups.

The class is all group work, which is a good thing, because when he lectures it is incredibly boring. The material isn't that difficult, but it can be hard to know what he wants. Go to his office hours the day of the exam. He'll give you almost identical problems.

Comment:
Great Professor, the class is based on working in groups to learn the material which is SUPER helpful if you have a good group...when he talks at length it can be kinda dry.. i learned the most while with my group, walks around to answer questions... can be a little touchy...has been known to be funny, projects suck!!! and lots of assignments...

Dr. Simons is a great professor. The class is mostly group-work so make sure that you get into a GREAT group. His projects are a little over the top but he is willing to help if you need it. Make sure to always ask questions and UNDERSTAND the units. His exams are long and on the computer. Study + HW = A.

Easy class, yet the lectures are SO boring. Good thing they are only twice a week. Lab isn't bad, but once again, lectures are hard to sit through b/c one is stuck in a time vortex where 15 minutes truly feels like 15 days.

He is soooo sweet. Never went to class except when there was something in the book I didn't understand. Lab is where you really learn the material, lecture is a brief review. READ THE BOOK! Very approachable. Easiest psych stat teacher there is.
