Comment:
He is a really great professor, but I doubt he'll be teaching again because he told me he was retiring and moving out of state. Anyway, he made statistics very easy for me; You show up and take notes, then you get to use the notes on the quizzes. He drops the lowest two quiz grades. Homeworks are optional, but they help.

Dr. Neill is a great professor that tries to keep the material interesting in times of data heavy/repetitive parts. Sensation and Perception is overall an interesting psych course, but it's higher end material and will take studying to fully understand. His lectures have questions at the end that directly relate to what he tests on, study those!

Great Stats professor! Allows you to use your notes and textbook for most quizzes, just be sure to take detailed notes as he asks for definitions.

Sensation and Perception is going to be a hard class, but his teaching allows concepts to click into your brain quite well. Studying is 100% required to do well on his exams. They are incredibly difficult, even if you know your stuff. But if you're a psych major, this stuff is important to know. One of the best UA teachers!

Very difficult class. He know that and offers a generous curve but even that isn't enough to get a decent grade.

If you need psych stats, take it with this guy. The hw is not graded but do it because the quizzes are VERY similar to the hw. All quizzes except for the 1st are open notes. He teaches you what you need to know for the quiz. Go to class or else you'll fall behind! Seems to be the best guy for psych stats.

This was the most difficult class I had to take. His lectures were dry, he didn't work to clarify much and the tests were difficult. Currently taking neuroscience to fill the requirement, much more enjoyable and very similar content.

This class, related to biology, is going to be really hard no matter who you take it with. Textbook and consistent reading is a must. Pay attention during the lecture. Three exams, multiple choice. You have to really study and understand concepts in order to pass. I'm a straight A student but even doing my best will at most get me a B or C here.

Comment:
Neill is one of the worst Psychology professors here. He tries so hard to get through a certain amount of slides per class. He goes really fast, he does not ask if any one has questions, and if you try to raise your hand and stop him to either ask him to repeat or slow down, he continues going on and then blame it on him being deaf. Don't take him!

Sensation and Perception is a hard class, the content can be difficult to understand but Dr. Neill does a great job keeping students interested and clarifies the material well. He gives students a lot of opportunities to do well on the exams and is very open to help students in need. I got an A in the class because I studied everything he gave us

Exactly how a college class should be done. Teaching is SO straight forward with no frivolous info that won't be on the test. The class is 9 quizzes which includes the final. He drops the 2 lowest grades of the first 8 quizzes. HW isn't collected but you should still do it, because the quizzes are VERY close to what the hw is.

Best Professor for pysch stats. Easy Class if you go, take notes, and do the homework (which he doesnt collect) quizzes are straight forward. Dont bother buying the textbook. As ppl below have said he drops the two lowest quizzes and they are open book.

BEST PROFESSOR I'VE HAD YET! Gives very good and clear notes. There are 8 quizzes total, the last 2 are merged together forming the final. He drops your lowest 2 quiz grades and all quizzes (except the first) are open notebook. Make sure you come to class and take notes or you will not do well.

Comment:
Really cool guy. Down to earth, hippie type, but not in the annoying liberal preachy way. Class is significantly hard though. Tests are only 30 questions so can be tricky. Study the review questions he puts up.Oh and e brings his guitar in one class though which was cool.
