Comment:

As an online class: His exams aren't that hard (using the textbook and notes). He's very engaged with his students and will answer any questions you have. My only complaint is sometimes his lectures are veryyyy slow and drawn out, and sometimes he gets confused and makes a lot of mistakes.

One of the BEST profs at ConU. The course is easy, but what makes him great is how he tests our knowledge. His exams consist of 5 questions (200-500 words/answer), that allow students to explain what they know about the concept & list relevant examples. This is a much more effective way to test learning than those standard multiple-choice tests.

Great prof. His exams aren't super hard, just 5-6 long answer questions, which sounds scary, but there are lots of way you can answer the questions. As long as you provide examples and show in-depth understanding. The material isn't super easy to remember, but it's interesting, and you can tell he wants his students to succeed.

Mumby is THE most amazing teacher I've had in Concordia. He is really passionate about the class and will do everything in his power to help you. You can see him in his office, ask or send questions and he will answer. You should definitely read the papers he asks you to and go review your tests to see what you missed.

Great proff despite the fact that I didn't do so well in either of his classes. Both 457 and 467 were very interesting. You must be very detailed in your short /long answers and make sure to read the questions very carefully. The textbook wasnt too important as I read the 150 pages and got worse on test than someone who didn't

Dave is a great person in general, he's funny and likes telling little stories. He's passionate about the courses he teaches, and is very accessible outside and inside of class. The course itself isn't very easy, but he gives enough information on the readings in class. Recommended!

He is an amazing teacher. It was 2 midterms and 1 final which were only short and long answers. It migth be scary at first but as long as you read the book, knows the concepts and examples for each it is really easy to get a good grade. He is really funny and passionate about his course! Super accessible outside of class I fully recommend him!

I took this class two semesters ago and it was one of my favourites! Dr. Mumby was knowledgeable about the papers he assigned and made the material interesting. He was very sympathetic towards students and all around seemed like a bro. Class is easy if you read the papers ahead of time and attend. Simple as that.

I really love this guy. He knows his subject matter very well and is clearly passionate about it and make the class fun. His exams are indeed all short answers but really, if you study, you'll be fine. The additional papers were usually not very long, but yeah, we get tested on them. I have no problem recommending this prof to anyone.

He seems to know his stuff, but he can be confusing. The book was better than he was at explaining things. There were additional papers to read as well. Otherwise, he grades fairly but his tests are all short answers. Also sit close to the front because he doesn't speak loud at all. I have to admit he was really funny sometimes though

Comment:

The class is extremely textbook-based, although he adds extra studies from articles that you must read because they are also tested on. His lectures are very boring and sometimes unclear, but he is funny to make up for it. He sometimes starts talking about a concept and does not finish what he has to say, which is very frustrating.

This prof is amazing. Strongly recommend psych students to take at least 1 course with him. The key to success is to attend every single lecture and take good notes since there is no textbook. Exams are fair and based on everything he says in class.

Ok I really liked this prof. At first I was scared because there are no power points, only articles. But you get used to it and if you go to class and take good notes, you will have no problem. His exams are fair throughout. He summarized the articles in class and can be downright hilarious. I really enjoyed this course. I recommend him strongly.
