Caron was a great professor. His lectures were organized and interesting and he made it possible to pass the class by telling you what he was expecting. There were no between the line kind of questions. Thankful to have had him for his final year at UW- Madison.

Roberts actually cares and gives really interesting lectures with lots of personal details. Very funny and rarely boring. Records all lectures and uploads them quickly. Overall, great guy. Always draws smiley faces in his O's (:

Caton cares about his students as long as you make an effort to get to know him. Quizzes are super easy and the tests are multiple choice. Attending lectures is necessary to succeed which wasn't hard since I actually enjoyed the material.

He is a great professor. He cares about his students a lot and wants them to be successful not just in his class but also in their furture. I am an international student, his class is hard for me. But if you need to take psych class, I definitely recommend him.

Caton is a great guy, super relatable, and understanding. He is funny and makes lecture super interesting- I looked forward to going to class. Attendance is basically necessary for you to succeed, while the textbook is completely irrelevant except for vocab words on the quiz. Tests are super straightforward, just really understand your lecture note
