Comment:
Tests are way too hard for a course that should be straight forward. Ive taken exams in the past that were worth 300 points, but thats the entire class grade. 3 exams, 100 points each, thats it. Mainly based on Essay Questions and 25 multiple choice. Avoid if you can. If you have to take this class just make sure you dont take it lightly.

Comment:
Professor Kobak is very passionate about developmental psychology and it is evident in his lectures. His lectures are insanely boring. They seriously seem eternal, but he does not put his full slides online so it is good to go. Also he has clicker questions he uses for extra credit. If you don't read you will not get an A.

Comment:
This class shouldn't be as hard as it is made. Exams are confusing and a few questions were incomprehensible on each one. To make it worse, no specifics are given as to what will be on the exam, just how many questions from each chapter will be on it. If you have the time to do every single reading you can do well, but you won't be able to cruise.

nice professor but the class gets really boring. uses powerpoints in class and there are 3 tests which constitute your whole grade. tests are pretty tricky, you need to study at least a couple nights in advance for them and even then you might still just get a B

Grade based off of 3 Multiple Choice tests (50 questions on each). No rounding or extra credit but its an interesting class. Dr. Kobak is a cool dude. If you're a psyc or human services major the tests will be obvious. Regardless, it's a totally fair class. Take it!

Kobak is a really nice guy! Classes seem pointless but his test questions come directly form the powerpoint! Don't need the textbook at all but you have to study for the tests. Go to class and study the material and you will definitely get at least a B.

This professor is adorable, and really funny. There was a lot of reading for each class, and he uses slides and would put them online before class. He shows a lot of good movie clips. Only 3 tests all semester and they were all multiple choice. There was a lot of material to cover, but it was an interesting class.

Very nice guy. Very helpful during office hours. It wasn't totally necessary to read the book, but I would at least read the summaries. Some MC questions are directly from readings. The most difficult part of the tests were the essays, and he was usually quite explicit about his expectations for them when reviewing the material prior to the test.

Nice guy, fine teacher. Got bored and distracted every once in a while, but I still got an A. If you are good at Psych, you will do fine.

This class overall was a good experience. However your grade is based on 3 tests (all multiple choice). Even though he does posts power points he DOES NOT include all the slides given in class. So it's smart to attend class. Plus he gives questions that appear on the test and he doesn't post those either. Overall, a good professor.

I thought that this was a good class. Helps if you have some interest in child development. No extra assignments or papers, just three exams. Fantastic if you don't want to have to do much work throughout the semester, bad if you don't take tests well. Essays count for a lot on the test so if you can write clearly, you'll probably do well.

great guy. he means well. slides are great and he posts them online after classes. if you do go to classes he'll give you sample mutliple choice questions that actually appear on the exams. sometimes questions on exams are hard to understand though. definitely do the extra credit!

Slides are all over the place. to study you need to read which is a pain because his notes jump from chapter 1 to 14 without even clarifying. doesnt help at all when asked. dont recommend taking him

Extremely long powerpoints but will e-mail slides to class after presentation. Nice man, however seems somewhat aloof as most of his slides are disorganized and directly from the text. Class is important for learning exam material, but can do well just by reading the book. Do the extra credit and read the material- it would be hard not to pass.

Kobak is a very friendly, light-hearted guy who knows his stuff. Plenty of short films to make class enjoyable. 3 tests plus 10 possible pt. extra credit. Do the extra credit, you're almost guarenteed perfect credit. A "B" is definitely attainable if you put in some effort. I recommend him.
