Karl is a great lecturer, professor, person. This class was very difficult but I would take it from him again. Most grading is done by TAs, they worked hard but were not awesome. Get ready to complete a ton of work with a group that may or may not let you down. Only bad thing- he wrote a brand new textbook that you HAVE to buy, not available used.Rate My Professors ↗

Prof. Rosengren is an incredible teacher. When studying for exams, I found myself remembering things he said in class verbatim due to his highly engaging speaking style and evident passion. Material is easy but fascinating, and critical for understanding people & psychology as a whole, not just children. The best professor I have had at UW.Rate My Professors ↗

Strives to teach us how to be better parents, teachers, coaches, etc. someday, which is something not a lot of other people would ever teach you. Makes maybe 20% of the tests based on discussions we have in lecture, so it is important to go to lectureRate My Professors ↗

I really enjoyed his lectures and his teaching style! He keeps you engaged in class with discussions and is willing to answer questions in class. The exams are very fair and he always throws a fun extra credit question on there. Make sure to go to class, lectures are not posted online. If not, read the book.Rate My Professors ↗
