Absolutely loved him as a professor; my favorite so far! His lectures are super engaging; you can tell how passionate and knowledgeable he is in the field. There is a lot of material covered, but it's all explained clearly and all of the exams were open-note. I found the subject to be fascinating and you really learn a lot!PSYC3402 2022-12-03 05:13:01 +0000 UTC
Had him for the honors section. Phenomenal teacher and clearly knows a lot about the material. He keeps it pretty entertaining but he doesn't have slides or anything so you kinda just have to write what he says and organize it later. Also, the grade is made up of only 2 assignments and 2 exams (+ the final)PSYC3402 2022-04-07 02:29:59 +0000 UTC
I had him for an honors section. You learn A LOT, so there's a lot of material on the exams. A harder psych class I've taken at NU, but he's really passionate and you learn a lot.PSYC3402 2013-10-20 20:27:34 +0000 UTC
