Comment:
I thought this class was going to be informative and fun- please don't take this unless you are planning on majoring in psychology!! It was useless and a massive GPA tanker. I am in the engineering school and taking very difficult classes, yet this was my lowest grade. Emery was no help, and the fact that your entire grade was only 4 tests was crap

Comment:
Professor Emery is engaging and approachable and makes you care about the material through interesting vignettes from his clinical practice. You do have to be interested in children to care about this class though: it's not an easy A and you won't do well if you skip class. Tests have essay questions but don't get discouraged! It's a fun class! :)

Easily one of my favorite courses. The tests aren't too difficult if you attend lecture and pay attention. I can't say enough glowing things about Emery. He's a brilliant professor, and his lectures are absolutely fascinating.

Comment:
He makes the class much more boring then necessary. Textbook is exactly like the lecture but has just enough information that you also have to read it. The class is structured around DSM-5 rather than around the actual disorders. Wouldn't suggest it.

Very interesting lecturer, and genuinely cares about his students. Super interesting subject material, but lots of long journals to read.

He is a great professor. His anecdotes were fascinating and a his description of his cases were amazing. I was disapointed when I had to miss a class because I really enjoyed lectures. This is saying a lot considering it was at 9:30 in the morning. Take the class. You won't be disapointed!

He's a caring and enthusiastic professor who thinks of his students as his children. He also offers to be of assistance for any non-acedemic problems you may have.

I got an A+ in this class, the best grade I've ever gotten in college. This was also the only class I have ever truly not attended. The few times I did go, I really enjoyed his lectures and thought he was very interesting. The extra credit is easy and helps a ton!

Comment:
He is a little backwards. Not open to new interpretations. Often found offense in his lectures (as a female), and found lectures to be dry and slow. He thinks he's funny. He's a little too sure of himself, could use a little humility. He obviously doesn't have all of the answers (though he thinks he does).

Comment:
lectures are a joke & BORING! went to the first 3 lectures & stopped. he elaborates too much on some topics & not enough on others. i got an A reading the bold words of the book & the ch summaries. exams ?s straight from the book. final is easy. all exams weighted the same. extra credit.

lectures are interesting and useful for the test. if you have time to read, you'll do well. fun projects for extra credit, but otherwise no papers to write or anthing like that. final is worth the same as other tests.

Easy A (maybe A+ if you do the extra credit). Everything you need to know is in the book or slides, lectures were a waste of my time! He's an OKAY professor...don't think he really prepares before class though because sometimes he doesn't even know what's on his slides.
