He is one of the best professors I've had at this school. He is incredibly witty and super interesting. Him and Professor Caldwell are a great team and both work at the Mendota Mental Health Institute and I loved listening to their stories. Quizzes are fairly easily if you show up to lecture and listen. I would take this class again in a heartbeat!Rate My Professors ↗
Super interesting class! If you attend class, the quizzes will be easy. The whole grade is based on four 40-question quizzes. Funny guys!Rate My Professors ↗
Psych 401 is fascinating and enjoyable if you let the class structure be a little chaotic. Greg cares a lot about the topics and sometimes his lectures are boring, but his personality makes it significantly more enjoyable. Mike who he co-teaches with is a fantastic lecturer- This class has almost 0 homework, 4 heavy exams, and don't skip class!Rate My Professors ↗
He was an interesting lecturer, pretty funny and engaging. Sometimes lectures with him felt really long, but he cares and is super educated and involved with the topic. The class was super interesting, would definitely recommend!Rate My Professors ↗
flys through lecture (voice speed not time) is not sensitive to students needsRate My Professors ↗
Took the class in Fall. Co-teaches the class with another guy, both work as psychologists full-time. Exams are hard, but pay attention to the advice they give you about what to study because it's right on point with the exam materials. He's a little strange and harder to follow than his colleague, but I really enjoyed the class overall!Rate My Professors ↗
