Terrible prof, he wants the class avg. to stay low so he makes hard exams... not understanding or approachable , I was getting close to an A GPA , since I got a C+ in his class my avg dropped, regret taking this class with him every moment...

If you choose to go for him for Environmental Psychology, attend all exams on their original date. The exams are supposed to be 75 m/c and easy stuff. However the make up is 4 essay questions, 25m each. The contents: 7 chapters, lectures, 3 films. The essay questions can come from ANYWHERE. When I email him I get no reply almost always.

Rudest professor I have ever met. His lectures weren't bad and weren't as boring as other three hour lectures, but god help you if you email him for help. I sent him a whole paragraph asking for help and he responded with a simple "no".

Decent enough prof, but has a horrible TA. The problem is he has this horrible TA write the exams, and lecture material not covered in class that the prof stated wouldn't be on the exam ended up on the exam. Also put questions from the wrong chapters on the final.

Comment:
He's a very lively person, loves to laugh and talks a lot for a lecture that starts at 8:30 in the morning. Attendance is a must, you got to have a keen hearing because sometimes those thing you thought was unrelated to the topic will appear on the exam. Reading the text is painful but it's a must. Hard exams but it's not comprehensive

he helps you if you need him to before hand, but he does not give you feedback. the funny thing about him is that he says that you did a good job then slams you later with a sh*t mark and he doesnt show you your mark until he POSTS THE FINAL MARK on the transcript so if you think you were getting an A+ and fails don't be surprised

Comment:
Interesting prof who was into Enviro Psyc but took most of lecture to talk about topics that were not covered in detail on the tests. Attending lectures was helpful but you have to ready the text in detail to make sure you get a good mark. Good prof, but hard tests. MUST read and understand the text if you plan on getting an A.

Exceptional professor and very good course. Is down to earth, engaging, funny and provides good detailed feedback on written work and seminar presentations. He's a brilliant guy with a ton of publications and still talks to the students and not at us, and never speaks down to us - he treats us like were real people that matter.

He is a nice enough professor and his course was interesting. The only issue was that he gave little to no direction after assigning presentations and final projects. It was difficult to assess how well you were doing in the class, since the only given grade all year was from the mid term essay. Looking back, I would choose another prof.

I thought the course was very interesting and if your into applied psychology you will enjoy it very much. The professor sometimes makes very thoughtprovoking comments, but sometimes interest tends to wean with his slide shows and jokes.The tests are fair, read well and attend lectures.He is lenient
