Ron was my favorite professor that I have taken a class with. He is a really good lecturer and is very passionate about the course material. He literally changed my career path and made me want to work with child development in the future. I didn't do any work outside of class. He also makes a really good study guide for the midterm and final!!!Rate My Professors ↗
Ron is an amazing lecturer who really tried to make the class interesting. Lectures were a little fast paced and required reading outside of lecture but definitely manageable. Only two exams which were fairly difficult and required a lot of memorization. You must read the textbook or you won't bee able to pass exams.Rate My Professors ↗
Ron is passionate about the subject, and he brings that to his lectures. However the class itself is fairly scattered, broad, and fast paced and with two cumulative exams determining the bulk of your grade, it became more of an intense fact-memorizing class than anything. He also refused to help with paper clarification questions outside of classRate My Professors ↗
He's young and very cool! Really seems to love kids and makes the class super interesting. Can go on a big too fast on lecture but lecture slides are available online hence, easy to catch up. Overall recommended!Rate My Professors ↗
