Took this course a few years ago, and to this day, Barry Ledwidge stands out as my fav. professor in my university career. Classes are fun, engaged, interesting. He has a lot of experience and a lot of fun stories to relate to the topics at hand! Would recommend taking ANY course with him.

Comment:
Very good prof and fun course to take. In the exams there aren't a lot from lecture, maybe a few MC's and 1 SA. Very helpful too. It's not a lot to memmorize compared to 280. If someone still thinks there's too much to memorize in PSYC241, then PSYC and perhaps even University is not for you.

Comment:
make sure you study his lecture notes! a lot of questions on the exam come from them. He's a good prof... had trouble hearing what he said sometimes and that was really annoying! the material near the end of the semester gets really interesting! especially the section about sexual dysfunctions haha.

Comment:
Very dedicated to his work, yet did not meet my expectations. There is an overwhelming amount of detail to remember for his course based on etiology and treatment paradigms. Requires lots of reading and staggering memory recall. In class videos are a nice touch, but the lectures are somewhat monotonous. Heavy course content does not do him justice.

If you send him an email he will respond immediately and marks assignments quickly. He really makes an effort to make the class both educational and enjoyable. He is also very helpful.

Comment:
Ppl say he mumbles, I disagree. Or at least its not as prevalent. He has a lot of exprience in the subject and relates it in lectures making them interesting. Uses humor and an easy going approach to cover difficult/hard to swallow subjects (ie paraphilia). Incorporates videos into lectures. Interesting/relevant assignment.

Comment:
I think he's great! His experience gives him real knowledge and credibility. He is down to earth considering he knows 1000 times more than the psyc profs who have only learned from books and not from working. His examples are awesome and he is really funny. Focus on key terms for the fill-in-the-blanks. Videos are boring. Highly recommended!

Comment:
I like him. Hr gives good examples and can be really funny. He also uses cartoons as examples. The 3 hour lecture does not seem so unbearable with him, especially because he shows videos. The midterm was much easier than i thought it would be. and the final isnt even accumulative.

Comment:
He's interesting and funny yet somewhat elitist at the same time. It's clear he thinks very highly of himself, and this may grate on some people. The course is challenging - no MC tests here, it's one of the few low level psych courses that is almost all written exams. Interesting and challenging.
