Truly one of the worst professors I've ever had at UBC. I was very excited to take Clinical Psychology but Dr. Linden was so boring, and was not willing to help the students succeed. Seriously don't take this class.

Comment:
Had him for clinical psychology and his lectures were essentially just useless information. Very little of what he says is actually testable - he mostly just rambles. For the final I just studied the textbook and did okay but it might as well have been an online course because he doesn't really teach you anything.

You don't learn much from lectures, he tends to ramble. I basically just studied the textbook and his slides and did alright. Boring lectures and hard to hear.

Take PSYC 300 with anyone besides Wolfgang. He is dry, and monotone. The lectures don't relate to the test. Don't show up jut read the textbook and you will do fine.

Avoid! The test cant really reflect how much effort students pay. Teaching is not clear and he tends to focus too much on irreverent material. Too little guideline for essay so we dont know wt he is looking for.

oh boy, this was a hard professor. Mumbles and is so quiet when he talks it is really hard to hear him even when he wears a mini microphone. TESTS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD HARD! does not even test you on what you learned in the lecture. Take this course with someone else PLEASE!!!

Don't do it. He is a nice enough guy but he mumbles and goes on tangents on things that are not relevant. His criteria for exams is unclear. Just dont do it.

Comment:
Super unclear and inconsistent prof. Lectures and slides are all over the place and tests are disproportionately difficult to the class and book materials. Doesn't seem to be at all concerned about students learning just about expressing his own opinions. Won't ever take a class with him again.

Literally the most boring class ever. He just mumbles on and goes off on tangents. It is painful to try and pay attention in his class. Read the textbook- tests are fairly tricky and specific but doable.

Comment:
Dr Linden's class is not super interesting unless you're a real fan of research in psych, and maybe not even then. He is not great at preparing students for his exams and the exams do not test learned material very well. Dr Linden is very nice and approachable, and the practicum component in this class is great, but the class could be better.

He is a funny prof. However, he doesn't teach anything from the text but adds text materials in the exams! Good class if you are concerned about healthy issues, not if you are concerned about your GPA.

Comment:
Most disorganized and lazy prof ever. Lectures are boring, just him rambling about stuff as it comes to mind, doesn't apply much, notes unreadable (or non-existent). Unclear expectations. One crazy-long 20 page term paper that was boring as hell. Lied about exam content, would say some stuff is not covered, but then test it. Spelling errors on test

interesting class. you're expected to know the text even though he doesn't focus on it in class but the exams are just definitions and m/c so its not that bad. not the most exciting class but very straightforward.

exam seemed to focus mainly on text material. lecture was painfully boring and he seemed unprepared every time. exams were sloppy but fairly easy. some questions were so easy i thought it was a joke. however the class really isn't interesting....not worth it.

Comment:
He is a boring guy in lectures! I barely listened to him. His research project was kinda fun...but he didn't explain it well AT ALL! It took me so long to figure out what he wanted....and in the end I still wasn't 100% sure. This class wasn't really what I expected it to be...not because of the content...because of the prof
