He is very nice and reply to emails very fast. The class is hard, too much information at once. The book is useless and his lecture are intersting yet the exam is very tricky. Its a hard class.

The lectures seemed to feel very long because he has a very monotone voice. The course was interesting but it was hard to feel engaged because of how long and boring it was. Not a hard class and the exams are quiet simple.

Comment:

Steven is very clear on what he expects, if you follow his instructions, you will do well in this course. Most of the learning is textbook based, and within the lectures he talks in depth on only a few points. The class can be bland but he attempts to add humour and tries to interact with students to make the class more intriguing. Overall, average

Steven is a great prof! He explains the material very well and is very articulate. He super organized, so you'll know exactly what to expect. There is a group project, make sure you're in a good group! Put the work in and you'll get a good mark.

Dr Welch's lessons are straighforward. Student/teacher contract is fair; course outline is easy to follow; marking is also fair and transparent. learning objectives are OBVIOUS, so you can actually learn the material as well as elaborate on it. One group paper, usually. Rational marking scheme : each assignment/test is worth a fair value.

Comment:

Class was engaging and informative. Dr. Welch is knowledgable in his field. I personally didn't purchase the textbook but if you're a text book learner and an A+ go getter, you might want to purchase it. Multiple choice for all exams except for the final (3 long answer questions) which he chooses from a list given out at the start of class.

Comment:

I don't agree with everything he says, but he's a good professor and helps you learn the material. Bland, but not so much that you fall asleep, so I didn't mind. If you try hard, you get a good mark on his assignments, but he's a pretty tough marker when it comes to APA style. He wants you to use the text, but I didn't use it at all and got a B

Comment:

Very boring!!!!!!! all he does is read his powerpoint under his voice so you barely understand what he is saying and he is very monotone. the tests are really lengthy and weird. He gives you 1 minute per question on the test, so if the test is 90 questions long, you have 90 minutes to write it. He means well but not a good proff! humor is very dry.

Comment:

He's not a teacher you can expect jokes from, but what he does is teaches you what you need to know, provides the required material to study, and tests you. It's straightforward. If you're the type of person who learns best with that type of teaching method, this class is a great fit! Study the material, attend class, and you'll do well!

I don't recommend taking class with him. Lecture heavy, tough-marker, and very monotone (you'll be zZz-ing in his class.)

Steven is straightfoward, there's no gimmicks or weird things to learn. He teaches in a way that allows someone to get a good mark through pure studying. The majority of his tests are MC, and he only asks for around 30 minutes of homework a week. Solid prof, I strongly recommend.

You will need your textbook, and you will need to read it cover to cover. Steven provides clear learning objectives for each exam that make studying easier. Reading the textbook and notes are not optional if you want to pass, over a quarter of the class failed the first exam. There's also a group paper, but he looks more at formatting than content.

Comment:

I recommend you don't take Psychology 1200 with Steven because he either goes way to fast or way to slow through his lectures. Plus, his lectures don't compliment the textbook what so ever. He skipped over sections in his lecture due to time restriction, told us we need to learn it outside of class from the text, but still put in the test.

His classes were very interactive and enjoyable. Each lecture had fill-in-the-blank notes provided online which made lectures more enjoyable and forced you to pay attention, which I enjoyed. Tests were lecture and textbook based but very clear on the content. I believed I actually learned in the class and thoroughly enjoyed going to class.

Quite speaker. Monotonous. Assigned a group paper. Read the book & the notes and you will do well in tests. Skip a class and miss the fill in notes. You need the notes for the tests. It is a long class each week, but he doesn't teach stuff you do not need to know.

Comment:

- I found he was using his powerpoints from past semesters of teaching the course. He hadn't updated them until we had noticed some errors or if he made funny comments such as "oh I haven't seen this happen in a while" meaning he hadn't looked at his slides since he last taught the class a year ago and was entertained by them.
