Comment:
Clardy made my first year in grad school miserable!! He is a very tough grader, points taken off assignments never made sense. He would discourage me by emailing me saying my assignments were sloppy and wasn't to his expectation but never seemed to help me get better. He is definitely in retire mode and doesn't care about well being of students.

Dr. Clardy challenges and pushes you for success. Unfortunatley some of the items that are tested are not mentioned in depth while in class.

Comment:
Professor Clardy is extremely smart which comes off as arrogant and rude. He treats his undergraduate students like dirt and is extremely dismissive. If you are a good writer, you will do well in this course. Come to class and participate and you will get a B

Comment:
Dr. Clardy is certainly knowledgeable, and has a dry sense of humor. He is not much for technology (Still uses overhead transparencies). He can be rather dismissive and likes to be center stage. If you're on his wavelength you will do well. If you're not, you'll struggle. Can be difficult to follow sometimes.

Outstanding professor. Extremely intelligent and has years of practical work in the HR field that he applies to his teaching. As someone also in the field, it was great to be able to work with him. If you are taking his classes and aren't completely interested in HR, you may have some trouble, as he talks to you like he would a peer. Recommended!

Comment:
Was a little sceptical of this class, industrial psychology sounded really boring. I was wrong; I learned a LOT about psychology in the workplace, and Clardy made the class fun. Gives study guides for tests, no homework, and one paper (based on your own workplace). Nice guy & a pretty decent instructor.

His lectures are well designed to help you through the process of completing the research assignments, so i recommend him as a teacher BUT I hate this course with a passion and i never want to do research ever in life.

Such a nice guy and funny. He helps whenever you need it, paper is broken into sections so much easier and can fix mistakes for final draft to up grade. Tests are easy if you just study notes. Dont buy the book no need -test questions taken from class notes. Gives study guides they help. Great teacher for this class.

HE IS AWESOME!!!!! TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!!! His class is so interesting that I wish I had the chance to take him again. Honestly, he knows his stuff and he is VERY funny, which makes the class go by quickly. His tests are all multiple choice, and best of all... there is no homework.
