I am taking him right now and not going to lie but the first 2 tests were a little hard since I didn't study 100% but recently I got an 89 on his test and honestly the key to be successful is STUDY his STUDY GUIDE! it is really helpful, but overall great professor really funny and really nice Honestly would take him again!

He's a very talkative professor that engages students to participate. He's really nice and chill. There is a lot of work required involving with 4 tests given. If you do the work on time, then you'll be fine. The study guides helps a lot for the test, so do the study guide too. As a 3000 level class, the work and education is expected.

He's good but he tries to make jokes all the time that aren't funny. The tests are mostly lecture based but there are some questions that can only be answered by reading the textbook. Overall, very good professor and teacher but he does teach some outdated and incorrect information regarding psychological disorders.

He laughs a lot randomly which can be intimidating. He does try to help you, but sometimes just ends up confusing you more. You have to pay attention and read the chapters in order to understand what is going on. If you miss one day, you will be behind. The test are more concept than math. He focuses more on the math than the concept.

Ive already had him as a professor once but he makes the classes so enjoyable and seems to truly care about his students. I adore his classes and highly highly recommend him. You can get away without buying the textbooks for the class because of how his class is. He does have a strict no phone policy and removes frequently absent students.

Super fast and just reads from the powerpoint. 1 assignment due every week. Will think you are cheating if your paper is even the slightest bit like someone else's. Make sure to go to class (takes attendance every day & will drop you if you dont go) especially before a holiday.
