Comment:
Not really the most organized professor. We often had large assignments due which he only provided info for a week in advance. Very hard to catch him in his office, and doesn't have official office hours. More preoccupied with other activities and shows very little interest in the actual course. Very hard first exam and a lot of time wasted.

The materials in this course were very hard for me since I'm not a science student. Prof is very friendly and knowledgable! Exams are fair.

Comment:
I attended class only twice, in the first week. I read the assigned chapters and got 90's on the midterms. The lectures are unncessary, and they are entirely based on the text. The prof is very nice and helpful, posting slides and helpful info on ACE. The material is fairly complicated but very interesting! Recommended to people who ENJOY learning!

Pretty dry - I mean you're easily able to learn all of the material from just reading the book and possible his lectures. Just your typical psych course nothing fancy.

Nice guy but goes off-track and speaks in a quiet and dull manner. Tests were reasonable.

Great prof overall. Stresses learning and problem solving over rote memorization. Midterm was tricky but easy to make up for with research papers. Always friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
