Reviews of professor Richard Abrams

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
not a difficult class, lots of lecture, took it online which wasn't ideal but got me intrested in psychology and will probably go on to become a psyc major because of this course

Was not effective for Cognitive Neuroscience, but was for Research Methods. Spent many classes comparing sections and being frustrated at our section for not performing as well as the other, instead of teaching us where we went wrong. Powerpoints were not helpful, take notes on every word he says in class instead of studying the textbook.

Format and pacing of the class was terrible. For the first half of the semester, we show up for 90 minute lectures strictly on vocabulary. For the second half we were expected to design an experiment, gather data, and produce a presentation and  15 page paper. The expectations for the paper are ridiculous and worth a dumb amount of points.

not what I was expecting, more difficult than I thought it would be as I did take an intro psychology course before I transferred but this was completely different, harder, more notes to take, more quizzes and exams, but the material was much more interesting than the course I took before I transferred. got into a study group early and that helped.

As a psych major, I feel like I've learned a lot in Professor Abrams class, but it is very lecture heavy. If that isn't your thing, beware. The workload is light; only have to review material for weekly online quizzes and exams are also online. There are occasional group projects and online classes because of his out-of-class obligations.
