deep class, skeletons in the closet type, fun. he's a sex therapist so some stuff he says is off the wall, don't be offended. Easy A
Prof L is very interesting, knowledgeable, and has a GREAT sense of humor. Interacts well with students. Tests are difficult.Assignments fair and easy. Weekly journals a pain in the ass.He's cool.
AWESOME CLASS! had him last spring semester and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, its the only class i ever had where you just sit and talk about whatever you want. no tests, no papers, just easy weekly journals. take his class!
great professor. this is one class where you actually get something out of it. not only did i learn about how a group forms, but i also learned how i behave within a group and made some really great friends. benj makes you feel comfortable and encourages everyone to share their piece. this was the most unique college experience.
If you are looking for a great experience go for this class. You are going to learn more about yourself during that semester than you have learned in the past few years.
Professor Leibowitz is a very intellectual and keeps his classes interesting. I find him to be down to earth and easy to talk to. This is a highly recommended class and professor. MUST TAKE!!!
his class was the most interesting adn fullfilling class that i have taken at william paterson. and the class trip to the bar was def. bonus. This is a class you must take.
I took him for two classes and they were great! I didn't even want to take Group Dynamics. I don't usually like working in groups, but it was the best class I have ever taken. He really cares about what he does and his students.
Pofessor Benj was the best professor I had at William Paterson. This was the only class where I recieved a foundation of clinical work to help people. This was my favoriate class and learned so much from him. I learned some real hands on materials, watched videos, and the books were very insightful. Thanks Professor Benj!
Great teacher. Very interesting course material. You will learn a lot and in a very stimulating and engaging way. Very fair with tests, assignments and grading. Professor L had lots of real world experience and introduces it to the class. Also, he is a great guy and in addition to the quality the class it is a lot of fun.
Had him for both Group and Psychotherapy. Great for both classes. Interesting, fun, and makes you want to learn. Easy and funny.
He is more like a friend than a professor. Fair grader and easy, every student's dream.
Great prof. Benj made his class interesting so you really want to learn. I loved group so much I took extra class so that I could take his couseling class. Keep journals in both classes. Love how he has his students sit in a circle to promote interaction between eachother. I would highly recommend taking his classes.
The best class I have ever taken at my four years at william paterson. Very laid back teaching style. You will learn a lot about yourself in this class. It's like group therapy! and it will really help you learn to interact in a group setting.
benj is the one of the best professor, i had group dynmaics and im taking counseling, he 's like one of your friends, thanx for everything dr. l, i hope all da professors learn from him. just one paper and journals. you learn alot. god bless him.
Benj is the coolest dude you'll ever meet as a professor! He is there to help and explains EVERYTHING. Tests are fairly easy - if you read and pay attention you'll pass! Lot's of fun and a GREAT class - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING A CLASS WITH HIM - you won't be disappointed...and you just may learn something!
Great, this class makes you think and apply the concepts in your own way. you get a lot out of it, and Benji will explain any thing you need. He also has get experiances he shares from his practice.
Awesome professor. Very funny, very helpful. Overall good time in his class. I had Group Dynamics with him and it was a great expereience. Just make sure you call and let him know if you are going to miss class or be late! Definately take him for any class you can.
I loved this class. Just be prepared to talk and voice your opinions about everyone in the class. You will learn a lot & Do NOT buy the book.
He is the best professor that I have had in William Paterson. He is funny and very interesting I recommend everyone to take him.
Easy class. Basically just have to do journals each week and write a paper. However be ready to talk a lot and not be afraid to share your feelings. If your quiet your in trouble. I basically missed out on an A just because i'm shy. If your loud and talkative then this class is for you. Be prepared for critisim.
Great Professor, really nice guy. I recommend taking him for anything... you won't regret it!
BENJ IS THE BEST, HELPFUL AND INTRESTING. REALLY KNOWS HIS STUFF, VERY FAIR I RECOMMEND HIM FOR ANY CLASS, HE'S LIKE ONE OF THE STUDENTS. REALLY GREAT PERSON
Excellent class. You will learn a lot about yourself and the people in your class. You will also learn about the phases that all groups and teams go through. Highly recommended for Business and Psychology majors.
He is a great professor, i recommend anyone to take him!!! I had him for Intro to Counseling it was a great class.
You Must Take His Class,he's understanding, an easy grader, and most of all a wonderful teacher.I actually looked forward to going to class because he's that interesting.There should be more professors like professor Leibowitz, he cares about his student and would do anything possible to help you better understand the material.I'm so glad I took hi
Benj is the man!!! Never though I could learn so much a bout myself in a class, or actually look forward to going every week. He is hilarious, caring, and hot!!!
Professor Leibowitz made this class not only interesting, but fun!You walk in uncertain of whether this is your field or not, but with his help you walk out knowing for sure!His tests are easy if you do the readings(short book,easy read).One paper not hard.If you are going to be late or absent, call or he'll call you!GREAT CLASS!!!!Recommend!
Dr. Leibowitz is great. I had him for Group Dynamics and Intro. 2 Counseling. You apply everything you've learned into mock counseling sessions. Has a different style of teaching which is a lot more affective. Helps students outside of the classroom also, he is writing a graduate school recommendation letter. Highly recommended.
He's a very funny Professor. His class is fun, once you get the discussions going. You will enjoy his class, I know I did. :) (No book is required.)
he is a must have prof. once you come out of this class you going to have personal growth that you can not imagine. i loved this class.
I love Benj! He is awesome the best professor in the world! If he taught everything I would always take him. I had him for group dynamics and it was a good class. You have to talk or he will make you. You have no midterm just a final one paper (easy) and one page journals every week. If your not coming call him! You will look foward to class!
Professor Ben was cool very laid back and his expectations were clearly established prior to the beginning of class. Test were tough if you did not prepare, yet the book was very useful. I would recommend him. He used alot of different techniques (i.e. videos, mock therapy sessions etc.) to get his point across. Recommended
He was very knowledgeable, used videos which were boring at times but very helpful to the course. The journals were a little annoying to write every week but they are between 1-3 pages so it was easy just repetitive. He makes class interesting and enjoyable and is open to suggestions for the class.Straight forward honest person strongly recommend
Benji is by far one of the best teachers the psych department. I took him my senior year and left with knowledge that I never knew I could gain in school. Through the videos and questionaires you get to know what kind of therapist you would be. The in class therapy sessions we had really let people know if they had what it takes to be in the field.
I love BENJ...he was a great professor...he is a professor that really wants you to learn and get something out of class...for group dynamics i learned a lot about myself and his classes are enjoyable and interesting especially group dynamics..u would love the class...
Benji was a great professor. i took him for two classes and he is awesome!!! classes were fun and you actually look forward to the next class.. too bad i graduated because i would def take him again!!!!!
Benj is the best professor! He is extremely nice and loves doing what he does. He makes class fun and creates bonds with all of his students. I had him for intro to counceling and group dynamics. Both times he was awesome! He loves his students and does what ever he can to make sure they do well. Please take him, you won't regret it! Love ya benj!!
Professor Benj is the best professor I have ever had. I took him for both Group Dynamics & Intro to Counseling. I would highly rec him for both classes(Group Dynamics was my favorite though)He really cares about his students and he is extremely knowledgeable in his subject matter.
this man is amazing. awesome class, awesome group dynamics :) Benji is so understanding, and so knowlegable, he relates well with students and makes it a point to make you feel a part of the class. it was the best class in my college career. honestly, no words can describe how great this class was.
Benj is definetly the best professor i've had at William Paterson. He cares for his students and helps them open up to new experiences. He has an effective and fun teaching style. I wish I could take group dynamics again because of him.
The best professor ever!! Very clear,excellent teaching skills, a Great listener and people's person. He encourages students ideas. Take his class..No textbook required.Made me appreciate life..He is such an inspiration. God bless this professor.At the end of the class you learn alot about yourself..
This is the best teacher you will ever come across in your school lifetime. I had hinm fro Group Dynamics, he really cares about his students if you and the education factor you endure in his class. Benj is the best ever. I feel sorry for the students who did get a chance to have him as a professor. I wish he can teach other professors on the impor
One of the best guidance counselors ever.
Professor Benj is the best!. He truly cares about his students and wants to teach and help everyone. He is very dedicated and always available for extra help and guidance. One group project, weekly journals, and one paper. The best class!
Best teacher at william paterson! Benji is a great professor. I also had him in intro to counseling but group dynamics is way more fun. You will learn a lot about yourself and it will probably be the best class you take throughout college. He is extremely passionate about his job and truly cares about his students. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
I have had benji for two classes, psychotherapy and group dynamics, he makes learning fun and easy to remember the information, I encourage everyone to take his classes!!!
Excellent learning environment. You will learn so much in this class. Wish I would have taken more classes with him. Attendance is mandatory but you really won't want to miss class. Weekly journals, paper and a project.
By far this was the best class I have ever taken! I learned so much but had a great time also. Benj is an all around great guy. He is so passionate about his job and it shows in his teaching. I would highly recommend taking this class. You will not regret it. I can honestly say I am sorry it is over already. Love you Benj! Thanks for everything!!!
I had just taken Intro to Counseling and Group Dynamics over the Summer and I could honestly say this Professor is truly a great Professor. I learned so much in short period of time that I extremely grateful. He is empathetic and cares for his students to succeed in life which creates a very positive atmosphere. I highly recommend this Professor.
Professor L was excellent! His class was very interesting and he captured my interest the whole time. His Group Dynamics class requires a fair amount of work, but not your typical assignents. Very fair grader, if you follow guidelines, you can guarantee yourself an A! I highly reccomend this professor, you would not regret taking his clsses!
Prof Leibowitz is a great teacher. He's there for the students and does all he can to get us to learn what we need to know. I had him for two classes and wish I could take him again.
Benj is the best prof. I have ever had! Awesome guy all around. Really cares about his students and what he is teaching them :) I highly recommend him for this class. I am already registered for Intro to counseling! Can't wait to take another one of his classes. I know it will be great! Keep up the great work Benj!!
Benj is a great counselor and a great professor. He cares about what each student has to say and is very light hearted in class. Read the book, go to class, and be involved and you will be glad when you walk away with an A.
Took this class and Group Dynamics (which by the way was the best course EVER and the most beneficial) with Benj. He truly is warm, caring, and most important very knowledgeable in his field. Be prepared to learn a lot and to participate in stimulating conversations that are sure to keep you engaged. Thanks Benj for two of the best semesters!
I really enjoyed GROUP DYNAMICS because it helped me learn more about myself as well as others. The professor is NOT hard, but attendance is mandatory. He is very passionate about his teachings and has a GREAT sense of HUMOR. Easy "A", Lots of "FUN and Good "FRIENDSHIPS!
Professor Benj is an awesome teacher, really laid-back, understanding, and caring. If you are looking for a great course to take, this is the one. The workload is totally manageable and the experience is awesome.
Professor Leibowitz was definitely one of the best professors I've had at William Paterson. He keeps his class interesting and set it up in a comfortable and laid back setting! If you have the opportunity def take him! I'm excited for group dynamics in the fall! Such an awesome teacher/class!
Great professor extremely helpful highly recommonded
Best Professor in WP. This is a class that everyone should take. No book needed, just consist of daily journals and group discussions. Highly recommend this class.
Prof. Leibowitz is an awesome professor. I took his class this summer just to see what counseling is all about. But, I learned way more than I had expected. He is innovative in his style of teaching, and this proves very helpful when someone is keen to learn. He is very understanding, easy going, and helpful. Take him for the class. You will enjoy!

He is the best, coolest professor ever...class consist of 1 page journal per class and open topic discussion with the other classmates every class, you simply can't be bored and there is no way you can fail the class

Took him for Group Dynamics, such an amazing class, and GREAT Professor. You MUST take him!
Intro to Counseling: very laid back and kind professor. If you complete the work (short papers) and are present for his exam reviews you will get an A. The layout of the course was great and the films watched in class were helpful - and at times, comical. Take him!
I took counseling and group class. One of the best experiencesI had at WPU... You can't get any better than him. A+ teacher :)
I took group and counseling with him. One of the best experiences I had at WPU... You can't het any better then him.. An A+ teacher
awesome prof. i ahad him for group dynamics and I enjoyed coming to class every week. No text book but gives alot of handouts. Attendence is important, but that wont be an issue beacuse you will be WANTING to go to class.
Prof L made learning a pleasure...the BEST...cares about his students wants them to learn counseling and psychotherapy theory and more important about themselves ...Very caring, giving...LOVE him...take him
This was the best course I have ever taken. It should be a prerequisite for all students.Regardless of your major,when you get into your career you will not be working in a silo so it is imperative that you understand group dynamics. Dr. Leibowitz is a very knowledgeable professor that makes the class stimulating and interesting.You'll love PSY-322
This professor is amazing, by far the best class I have taken at WPU. He just wants you to learn the material-there's a midterm/final and a paper, which are easy as long as you pay attention. I highly recommend this professor if you are interested in counseling. He gave me the confidence to pursue a masters in counseling. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!
Took Benji for group dynamics class this semester- he is an insightful caring leader who guides the group to steer its own course; take this course you will grow introspectively and learn a lot. Pay him the respect he deserves with attendance, weekly journal required and a paper due at last class. You won't regret taking him!!!
Took him for intro to counseling and group dynamics. honestly one of the best professors at willy p. group dynamics with benj honestly was a life changing experience. you have to be willing to open up and put yourself out there to get the most out of the class! def take if interested in counseling or looking for a boost in GPA
After all the classes I have taken thus far, I can honestly say Group Dynamics was my favorite! He is not only a caring professor but he loves what he does, which makes you enthusiastic. Benji made everyone feel comfortable, confident, and valued which is admirable quality in a professor.Take him you won't regret it!!
Prof Benj is one of the best professors at WPU. He is caring, knowledgeable, resourceful and dedicated to his students. Group Dynamics should a required course for all students. I truly enjoyed learning about others and developing better interpersonal skills.Take him you wont regret it!!!
This was my favorite class at William Paterson. A must take class regardless if you are a psychology major or not. I recommend it to everyone. Greatest professor that I have ever had at wpu.
Amazing professor and a great class. This class helped me become more open and learn how to interact well with others. It's a must take class. You will enjoy it and make new friends through out the semester. Take this class seriously!!
Great class and great professor!! Definitely worth it to take this group dynamics class :) You get really close with by the students and the professor by the end of the semester!
Awesome class, I highly recommend it! Great professor!
Professor Leibowitz is truly one of a kind, the most amazing professor with a heart of gold. I highly recommend group dynamics, you'll learn so much about yourself, and how others view you. You'll gain new friends, and a once in a lifetime experience. He truly wants you to learn and is willing to go above and beyond to make sure you do.
Professor Leibowitz is the best! He's one of my favorite professors at WPUNJ. His class opens your eyes about yourself and others. It is very clear that he cares about his students. I would highly recommend him and I would take this course all over again If I could!
Professor is the greatest professor I have EVER had. He really makes you understand yourself and others..a lot more than you thought you knew. you will LOVE the class. Just don't miss out on the opportunity given because you really do learn a lot. He has passion for his career. Best teaching methods. you will NOT regret it. he is amazing!!!
Professor Leibowitz is amazing& I wish all my professors were like him! Took Intro 2 Psychotherapy & then Group Dynamics and both classes were the bomb!You'll learn so much about yourself and others & if your unsure of your career in psychology this is the class that will make you love it. Fun class Wish I could take it again! Leibowitz4President!!
Such an amazing professor!! Really cares about his students & wants everyone to have a better understanding of themselves/others. He makes the class enjoyable & entertaining. Don't let the 1st day of class fool you- each class gets more amazing! He's definitely a professor you want to take. You'll end the semester with a handful of new friends!
I would recommend Benj for intro to counseling and definitely group dynamics! He is a great professor and makes you want to attend class! I've learned a lot in both and classes and a lot about myself. You will not regret taking these courses. And its also a plus that professor Benj is a great person and teacher!!!! From your sweet Kim :]
Dr. Leibowitz is an amazing guy. His group dynamics class has been one of the best classes I've ever taken. I've learned so much about myself and others and it has allowed me to be more open. It should be a required class regardless of major. Take it. You won't regret it.
This man is AMAZING, he is my mentor! I took him for intro to counseling last semester and took his Group Dynamics class this past semester. It was the best decision I ever made. It should be a required class to take, it was like mini-therapy session. I have learned so much about myself and the effect I have on others. The BEST Professor on EARTH
Everything people are saying is true! I took Group Dynamics and it was life-changing. I just wish I took it sooner. This prof is the most caring, driven, and open prof I have ever met. He taught me so much about myself and others and I will never forget it. Seriously do yourself a favor and take one of his classes. It is easy and worth your time.
Leibowitz is easily the best teacher @ WPU! His unique style of teaching gets the students interested, participating and learning without making it overly complicated. You can tell he loves his job and sincerely cares about his students. I've taken him for Intro to Counseling&Group Dynamics- both were my top 2 favorite classes ever! TAKE HIM!!
Hands on professor. Requirements and expectations are set at that the door. Makes learning and coming to class interesting. Positive feedback and creative insight.
He is definitely one of the best professors at WPU! Group Dynamics was a wonderful class to take! It was a great experience. I learned a lot about myself, as well as the impact I have on others. If you take this class, you will not regret it!
This guy is the best professor i have ever had. I also had him for intro to counseling and i just HAD to take him for group. TAKE EITHER OF HIS CLASSES! you will not regret it. I found myself always wanting to attend class. Not to mention you become close to everyone!
Dr. Leibowitz is hands down the best professor at William Paterson. He truly cares about his students and ensures that everyone feels important. I never actually felt as if I was attending class during the semester because I thoroughly enjoyed going so much. Take this class and I promise you won't regret it!
I loved his class.
Professor Leibowitz is incredibly passionate about what he does, it is evident in his classes, I can speak for my entire class, everyone loved group dynamics and Deeply enjoyed coming to every single class. It's a very different experience from your average class but very worth every second. I would take it again if I hadn't graduated .
Not only Is he a wonderful professor but he's a great person. He really wants to help each student and genuinely cares. I learned a lot about myself throughout the course. Definitely would take him again. He changed a lot for me and helped me gain a new perspective. I also met a lot of great people in that class.
This class was one of my best experience in WP. Best instructor at WP.
Professor Leibowitz is the type of professor that every student needs in their college experience. Supportive, warm hearted and endearing he makes an effort to connect with every student to ensure that they get the most from the semester. His class urges you to think critically, and from it gain a truly worthwhile experience.
He's just awesome. He is so nice and really cares about students. He is super funny too. Highly recommend.
Professor Leibowitz is the Bestttttt. Regardless, of what class you take with him; I guarenteed you will like him. I'm a very shy person when it comes down to public speaking but, in group dynamics he understood and was always there to help you. If you didn't want to talk about a specific topic; he wouldn't force you to do it. Would take him again.
Loved this class! Learned a lot and would definitely take again to reinforce my learning! Best decision of my life especially when taking this and Group dynamics! Benji is awesome and really wants you to learn! Also the book needed is short and is very interesting!
Benji is awesome!!! Our class was great and very informational. He gives you the opportunity to reflect on yourself and on others. Learned so much from him!
Prof. Benj is the best! This class isn't an Easy "A" . You have to earn the "A" by putting in work participating in the group, writing weekly journals, doing the group project, and final paper. Not only will you earn that "A" but you will leave the class learning so much about yourself. Group Dynamics is definitely a rewarding experience!
Dr. Leibowitz is the MAN! Honestly, this class was one of the best classes I have had in a very long time. Dr. Leibowitz is an easy going fellow with jokes for days. He is pretty darn hilarious. This is not an easy A class, you really need to work on getting an A by working on yourself. Participation is key. If you dont engage in class you are the
Be prepare to speak about your life and give other feedback of what he or she is going through. In this class you must be willing to be open. One of the most amazing class I ever had no reading, expect to do journals 1 page every class, like 3 lectures at the begining of the class in semester one group project, one paper not longer than 8 pages.
Honestly I would take this class over again it was easy going, you must be willing to share about your past experiences, be prepare to do 1 page journal for every class, 1 paper less than 10 pages, 1 group project, and no reading book or test. You have two option class can be bored or interesting depending on you guys. Free to talk about anything
The professor grading criteria is clear, he is there for his students, the A is very easy to get just do your journals, participate in class discussion, do the final paper, and be prepare to do a group project of your choice. This class experience is great for personal growth you learn about your self and about others.
Benj's group interventions class was one of my favorites. He is a laid back and easy-going professor. I learned so much about myself through his class, and felt safe and comfortable throughout the experiential process. My entire class felt welcomed and safe when discussing interpersonal relations with one another. Benj has clear cut expectations fo
He honestly rocks! if you're looking for a class to grow and develop as a person this is the class to be. besides that you find to learn that Benji is literally an awesome person who cares about his students. In addition to he takes the whole professional relationship and throws it out the window thus making him more of a friend! take it!
Benj was definitely the best professor i've ever had! Group dynamics was such an awesome class, Benj made me look forward to class every week, he really cares about his students. I would definitely take him again and I definitely recommend taking him!
Benj is an awesome professor, one of the best in the psychology department. If you have the option to take a class with him, take it. If you don't you will be doing yourself a disservice and missing out.
This professor is amazing hes a great teacher and he knows a lot about this field. This class changed my life because of him and this class I was able to see value in myself. It helped me learn how much I really can affect how people perceive me. This class is a must take in my opinion.
Professor made this class super enjoyable, even for it being a more serious elective. He really allows you to explore your own interest in the field without making it an overwhelmingly difficult class. I greatly benefited from Professor Leibowitz's class!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
This is the best class at WPU. I have never met a professor so caring, fun, and all around amazing. You will learn so much about yourself and your peers. If you have room in your schedule, take this class. If you don't have room in your schedule, make room and take this class.
This class requires participation and can be very rewarding to yourself and to others if you allow it. Professor Leibowitz is helpful, caring and fun! He wants students to get the most out of his class and goes above and beyond in showing that!
I would HIGHLY recommend taking Benj and this class. It is a great class to help you grow as a person and teach a lot about yourself. Benj works very hard to make sure everyone feels comfortable and like a family.. Easy A if you talk and participate.. Not a lot out outside work. Definitely a class worth taking with a wonder professor!
I wish I would have taken Prof. Leibowitz in the past and not on my last semester at WPU All I can say is if you have not taken this man's class while at WPU you are missing out at the best group setting experience I have ever had I hate group work and I left that class loving it No exams just an easy journal per class final paper LOVE X
One of the Best professor in the psychology department. Respects student. Group Dynamics is a very unique class. If you want to get something out of this class, you have to be genuinely honest. Don't worry about sharing you personal opinions, Leibowitz is the kind of professor who is willing to listen to others; he wont judge your believes.
This class was one of my favorite classes. Benj is by far the best professor I have ever had while attending Willy P. If you have never taken a class with him, you should change that. He truly cares about his students and goes above and beyond what is required of him. I wish he taught more than just two classes. If you have the opportunity take him
Really an awesome class with a professor that has a depth of knowledge pertaining to group therapy.
He is the best. He really cares about his students.
I had Benj for intro to counseling during the fall semester and I loved having class with him so much I took him for Group in the spring semester. I couldn't have asked for a better class to end my undergrad career with. You have to go to class and participate to get credit, but it's so worth it. I highly recommend taking a class with Benj!!
Benj is honestly the best professor ive had at William Paterson. He is a total profesional, very wise and gives great feedback. Take his class and ill Promise you that it would be a phenomenal experience. JUST DO IT, NOW.
Benj is a great person and professor. He really cares about his students and wants you to get the most out of the class. Definitely one of the best psych professors at william paterson. even if groups aren't your thing (they definitely aren't mine) you should take the class with him. It's a really good experience.
Benji is a really nice guy, but he knows what he's doing. If you're going to take his class, be prepared to kind of become a part of the fam. He uses this course as kind of a group therapy session, so make sure you're comfortable sharing your feelings.
Where do I even start with Benj? He is an amazing prof that turns class into the experience of a lifetime. You won't find a class like this anywhere else. Be prepared for weekly journals and attendance is crucial but I promise you'll want to come. Be willing to share, be willing to listen, and let whatever else comes... come.
Great professor! I had him for one semester and I had to take him again for the next semester. I wish I couldve found another class he was teaching for this semester. I love Benji! You learn so much and hes passionate about his field. Very fair with grading. Expects you to do the work but he makes it fun and interesting.
I took group of dynamic during regular semester, it was an easy class the only requirement is be on time and let him know if you are running late. Other than that he is a caring professor i did learn a lot I had learn how to overcome of my fears talking in public he is a fantastic professor only one exam at the end of the semester.
You must take Benj while youre at WPU! Hes extrememly involved with his students. You actually learn valuable life skills and he genuinely cares about the growth of each of his students. Hes honest and so smart! Definitely take him and go to all his classes. You wont regret it, he doesnt make it feel like work.
AMAZING! Like I never had a professor that I have formed such a good bond with! He is the best professor I ever had and I really sad when the class ended at the end of the semester. It is important to participate. It will benefit you and the rest of the class.
easy professor, participation matters, as well as attendance. No work required beside a weekly journal and a 5 page paper at the end plus a group presentation. Thats all.
This is the best class I have taken in my entire college life. Trust me if you take it, it will change your life too. I have never met or been to a class ever that is soo unique and innovative. There is one final, final paper, group project, and journal entries every week. But it's really easy so don't worry. Don't skip any classes and participat
I have more than just a few words to say about this class. I can go on and on. This has been the most memorable class for me and the class is soo much full of soul and I will remember and take what I've learned from this class for the rest of my life. The professor really helps you form bond and unity with one another. Must Participate!!!!
This class is amazing. You'll get chance to learn about yourself and others around you.
This is the best class I have ever taken. THe opportunity to learn about yourself and others is rare. Benj is kind and always honest! Make sure you show up for class because it really impacts the group of you dont!
Dr. Leibowitz is by far the greatest professor that I have taken at William Paterson. He is so caring and genuine in his teaching that it makes the environment of the classroom so enjoyable. He provides a professional/friendly environment that allows every individual to learn and be themselves. I 100% recommend Benj to any student! He is amazing!
This class is the most influential class that I have ever taken at WPU. This class felt like a graduate level class, we were exposed to the basic info about multiple thearaputic techniques while being shown videos of how these techniques were practiced. It truly provided me with useful knowledge that I know I will use in my future! Prof is the best
Benj is by far one of the best professors at William Paterson. I had the pleasure of taking him for Group Dynamics and Intro to counseling. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Definitely take him, you will not regret it!
He is an amazing professor! Took him for human sexuality and boy did I learn a lot. He really knows his stuff and makes class interesting and fun! Take benj
Professor Leibowitz is an awesome teacher! He helped me a lot in understanding counseling. If I had to I would take his class all over again. It was a great learning experience. Definitely take him even if it's not a requirement.
Great Great Great! Take this class!! I took this class together with his Group Dynamics, not sure what my grade will be but please do yourself a favor and take this class and the other one!! You will learn a lot and you will have a lot of fun!! Journals, midterm and final!
Great Counseling and Psychotherapy introduction class. You will learn about different therapists and different approaches. If you want to be a therapist one day please take this class, he speaks from experience and is very funny prof. I would take this class if I were you.
Benji is amazing! Class graded heavily on participation and weekly write ups. One small paper at the end and a group project. Mid term was very hard but he generously curves it. Final was on what you have learned. Definitely take him if you get the chance you will not regret it.
This professor is by far the best in WPU. You will NOT regret taking any of his classes. The things you learn in his classes will stick with you forever. Journals, midterm and final, but he prepares you for everything he gives. He really cares about his students. I wish he taught more classes! Do yourself a favor, take him!!!!!
Really enjoyed taking group dynamics. This course gives you the opportunity to learn more about yourself through others. My classmates and I still keep in touch, which shows how much this course impacted us. A midterm, final, weekly journals, and a group presentation. If you do not want to get personal or socialize, then this class is not for you.
Profesor Benji was an amazing and caring teacher. I have really learned a lot about myself in his group dynamics class. The midterm was extremely hard but is curved to help you.
One of the best professors I've taken at the university. He really cares about his students and participation matters, you write weekly journals but trust me the class is worth it. I took Group Dynamics with him and I will never forget this class, honestly. Thank you, Professor!
The best professor Ive ever had! Hes unbelievably caring and so knowledgeable and helpful in what he does. Take this class no matter what! You wont regret it! Highly recommend!!!!
I love professor Leibowitz. He was a great help in the classroom setting. And the class was a great and different experience. I enjoyed the class a lot and was able to grow more as a person within the class as well as learning the dynamics of a group.
Benjy is someone who really cares about his students. He is one of the few teachers who leads a class in a circle where the whole class faces each other and encourages discussion. Each student is active, whether listening or talking, and it is a lot more engaging of a class because of this. It's nice to be in a class where we can learn & have fun.
Taking this class I just thought would be another boring class. I was able to talk about things I didn't even know was bottled in. I was able to make friends with my peers well now family, to be honest. I would definitely recommend this class if you want a different setting as well as learning about yourself more in-depth and those around you
Prof. Leibowitz is the best professor one can get! He cares a lot and his teaching methods are different from others. The class is focused on learning about yourself and others. It helps you to understand important things in life. We shared many things among our group members and that created a precious bond between all of us! I highly recommend!:)
Prof. Leibowitz is hands down one of the best professors I have taken at WP. I took him for Group Dynamics, I would highly recommend taking this course! The way Prof. Leibowitz teaches is more than just reading from a text or a powerpoint, you gain the experience through hands on tasks and assignments. Take this course, you wont regret it!
I didnt know what to expect prior to this class but I do know that this was the best experience Ive ever had in my college career. Benji helped me learn more about myself and my peers. I allowed myself to be open with others and learned what its like to be in group. Im extremely thankful that I took this class and making new friends!!!
He is awesome ! Trust me , you will love to be in his class
He is a great guy, you can tell he is experienced in what he is teaching and wants his students to learn from each class. Homework was 1 journal each week reflecting the class in your opinion. Midterm, Final, and a 10p paper. He is a little slow when it comes to technology, but it brings humor to the class. He enjoys getting feedback from students.
Professor Benji is amazing! He is a very understanding and accepting Professor. This class will help you understand yourself much better and even start a relationship with your peers. I didnt want this class to end because we became a little family. Best class and professor hands down at William Paterson!
Professor Benj is a down to earth professor who can really change the way you look at things. Hes very understanding and fair. He made me grow as a person ����
great professor, love this class.
Hes very inspired. Hes reliable, you can go to him for anything.
Dr. Benjamin is one of the best professor at WP. Great lecture, he will give you good feedback. I would highly recommend to take him.
the nicest and sweetest man i have ever met. he really cares for his students. i would take him again in a heartbeat
I took Professor Benji in the fall of 2019 for group dynamics, unfortunately the university doesnt offer this class with Professor Benji anymore. I decided to take this class for the spring semester because he is such a great professor! So caring and loves what he does! If you get a chance to take him you wont regret it. TAKE HIM!!
