Comment:
He lectures fast and you can't read what he writes so pay attention closely. Textbook wasn't clear at all. TF was great at explaining things and he is partly why I ended up doing well. You have to study hard and memorize the details to ace the exams. Subject matter is boring but you learn a lot- good group A reqmt.

This is not the best class to take to meet your psych requirements. It's hard and the lectures are not clear. The book is pretty good though. The guy is funny in an odd sort of way.

tough class. although he knows his stuff, lectures can confuse you more. the new txt book was horrible, i used the old txt which was much better at explaining most of the concepts.

Comment:
His lectures are disorganized and he goes off on tangents a lot. I would have totally failed this class if not for the TF. Reading is absolutely necessary to do well on the tests, and his multiple choice questions are vague and damn near impossible. Avoid the class if you can.

Comment:
"henry" is a really funny guy and really approachable but cant teach.. he knows his stuff but his lectures are so unclear.. he just scribbles on the overhead.. you end up just reading everything out of the book for the tests there are only 3 noncumulative tests and several pop quizzes and he takes attendance so u have to go even though its useless

I love Henry! I took a behaviorism seminar with him (and only three other students) and it was one of my favorite classes. We had the most interesting discussions and he never kept us more than an hour and a half even tho it was supposed to be a three hr class.

Terrible class. Who believes this stuff anymore? Skinner might have been hot back in 1980 but not now.

I dropped this class after one week. His stuff was relevant in 1950. He hasn't changed his lectures since then.

Lectures are scattered and material is hard.. He's a pretty funny guy and just restructured the class so the only requirements are 5 quizes and three, noncumulative exams.. don't need to go to lecture just read the book... TF was amazing..

The only problem with this class is that there's soo much material that it's hard to make it entertaining. Henry does the best he can with what he has, and he does a good job making the class as interesting as possible. He's SUPER helpful during office hours; he wouldn't let me leave until I understood everything. Awesome guy.

henry's pretty awesome as a lecturer, the info could be boring -- but he's funny (even if the humor is a bit dry) and makes lecture fun. the only problem is the class is pretty tough. lots of info to remember and its not easy stuff you can just memorize.

Really great guy! Subject matter is really great once you get into it. Self-directed learning to some extent. No final just a very vague final paper in which you choose your topic. Wonderful professor I'd take more classes with him if I weren't graduating
