super nice guy - but sometimes he goes off on tangents!

Very friendly guy, approachable, tends to go off on tangents

can you say MONOTONE?

He is so NOT boring!! Really great teacher - one of my faves!

Brilliant, but BORING! extremely informative, but difficult course

He is a GREAT teacher, very interesting, if you read before the lecture

very nice prof, quizes you from the book

Brilliant in his field; Boring; Extremely difficult exams (no m/c)

2 Tony Nields in psych dept-this one older and thinks he's funny-can be boring.

brilliant, wise and uniquely funny

He is a nice professor,however, very hard test and assingments.

Great prof. Sometimes boring but mostly funny :-)

One of the best professors I had. Exams are not difficult, just require studying. Surprise!!!

Had 3 courses with him -- Stats, Learning, and Memory -- and despite what others say, I liked him! Give him a chance, he's not all that bad!

he is the nicest guy ever, I took 5 classes with him and got no grade lower than A

He is a very nice and helpful prof, his exams are a bit tough but he would adjust the grades if the class average was too low. Overall he is a good prof.

Very tough teacher. His exams are hard, but if you study a lot, you'll do fine. You really have to think hard, especially on the multiple choice because they can be worded in a tricky way. Very interesting prof, though. He has lots of funny stories.

very helpful and nice guy. His exams are kinda tough.

very nice and helpfull proff

He's a nice prof, but he's BORING. Tests are hard (but not his fault as TA's make up exams, so can't really blame him). You can do well though if you study, and he's so nice that he will adjusts marks for the class.

his lectures were interesting...his poor cat! the exams were insane though!! class average of a low C

Assigned mini-assignments to prepare us for our final thesis - you won't find this with other profs teaching this course. Offered his opinion on our shortcomings during thesis proposals which was very beneficial -- class also contributed. Very fair, very thorough, very helpful. Excellent prof.

I found him to be one of the best profs I've had. The stories of his experiments and life experiences are much more interesting than just listening to him reiterate what the text says. And I really don't think he writes on the board too much, he writes just enough.

This man knows his stuff. He has been in the field long enough to be incredibly knowledgeable, but not too long that he's burnt out and miserable.He is passionate and interesting to listen to.His real life experience is fascinating.And yes, psychology of learning is all to do with studies of animals

Although he is not exactly the most exciting professor I've ever had, he is extremly understanding and an amazing person. He is very approachable, and always makes time for his students. I can honestly say that I look forward to being in his Motivation class this summer.

The best university prof ever! He's the epitome of what a University professor should be -- engaged, knowledgeable, and fair.

I like his lectures. Yes he does put random words on the board as he lectures but I actually understand. You just have to stay awake and listen. He does have a lot of stories and they can sometimes be quite amusing.

The guy is really nice, and he does help you if you are unsure about something. Also his tests are easy. Putting that aside, he is extremely boring, unclear, the textbook is horrible, and I've never met a guy who dances to a ringtone. If you do the work you'll be fine, but not the greatest prof

He looks nice, and talks a lot. But his exams are HARD. You never know what kind of essay questions he'll give you...he wants "essay" not "short answers"... you need to write lots and point to the topic directly otherwise no marks for it.

he is a very monotone lecturer.. but if u study their easy tests ... go by the textbook ... but i think he is areally nice guy and actually cares about his students and does not want to fail them ! if u go for help, he will help u out; if u do not show interest .. why should he ?

OLD SCHOOL lecturer. Don't expect anything online or anywhere else. Lectures are essential, he knows that if you don't come you're screwed cause there will be multiple choice A-G or A-F if you're lucky. The tests require actual learning, unlike most other profs.

Is a monotonous lecturer but is willing to help you if you are willing to seek it. Much of the information is out of the text so the text is crucial. He does elaborate on it during his lectures. He can put you to sleep but he does have the best intentions. He's just old school.

prof nield is soooooooooo niceee .. one of the nicest most approachable teachers EVER .. but his lectures are VERY boring (dont attend) ..and his tests are difficult only b/c the text is somewhat difficult .. but honestly he will help you out if u truly need it .. nice man :)

First question you should ask yourself before taking PSYC 2210: do I need this course? I say this because if you don't need it, don't bother taking it. It isn't very interesting. Nield is a pretty good prof. The times I went to class he was interesting enough. I think 8:30AM for this course is way too early. Maybe if I had him after 10AM...hmmm...

This course isn't great for your GPA. Exams are hard - tricky multiple choice, short answer (paragraphs) and essay questions too. He'll know if you don't really know the material. That said, he's extremely nice and understanding, flexible, and friendly. He has a bit of a dry voice so sit up front to hear better, but the lectures aren't bad.

Dr. Nield is a great prof! The only A+ I'va gotten in this univ so far! I strongly reccomend him! If you have good logic, his exams will be piece of cake for you! I studied so little and always topped in the class! Don't listen to the other coments! You will learn so much from him, especially if u plan to go to graduate school!

Took learning psych with him. He is a greta prof, he makes the exams a joke. on the essay questions you get to chose what to answer so you don't need to know everytihng, just be an expert in one part and u get get an A plus like me. Last exam i forgot to study one chapter and it didnt affect me becuase his MC are so obvious, while the essay you cho

Very interesting professor who knows what he is talking about. Explains things quite clearly, with lots of real-life examples, although he does have a tendency to go off on (generally interesting) tangents. Tries to cover too much in only one semester though, with 2 chapters assigned each week. Exams are tough, but fair. Seems very approachable.

Pretty interesting class, his multiple choice are tough but do-able. You gotta know the concept extremely well.

Very friendly guy who seemed to enjoy talking to students. Explained clearly with lots of real-life examples, and usually interesting ones. Occasionally, he would go off on tangents, but they were usually entertaining. Easily enough material for a full-year course though, so a lot of reading each week. Tests were not too bad, if you know the book

This course is tough for a 3 credit. He is a wonderful person, i just wish the lectures weren't 3, hours. The material is boring, but i think he does his best. The exam was tough but i was shocked at how well i did, A+. If you want something easy, don't take it, but if you are willing to work it shouldn't be a problem for you.

He is the best professor ever!!!!!!!. The ones who disagree is because they failed!!!!!

Personally: nice, laid-back. In class: contextualizes material with examples from life. Things are written on the board or projected for a reason-will be on test. Lectures explain/expand on text; attend (no ppt), & read closely. When studying: get major studies (names, findings) DOWN, and relate them to theories- be precise, MCs are tight.

Very boring lectures-unorganized, lack of flow, gets off topic then looks through notes again-hard to stay awake! Could be better if he focused on more interesting details & planned better. Too much material for each exam & he does exams in a way that makes it complicated for himself rather than the standard way. Doesn't post on moodle.

The course, book and the exams are really tough. He does not use powerpoint during his lecture or never upload any material online. It is really hard to hear what he is teaching so hard to take nots. You only can rely on the book which is the hardest book ever I have read. There are only 2 tests 45 and 50 worth each. I ended up C :((

Exams were difficult in the sense that questions felt extra jargon sensitive with some MC questions lacking clarity--Be sure to be 'a parrot of the textbook' for his class.'

He's boring, old fashioned where he does not use technology, only 2 exams (midterm and final) dry lectures, nice guy though, and you HAVE to understand all of the examples in the textbook because the biggest and longest examples will appear, Good luck!
