I had Dr. Dave over 2 years ago. I miss him and the class.
dr. dave is a stud.
Good note taking, but what about the book?
pretentious, ill mannered, very nosy in your personal life.
Someone should investigate this professor. Unauthorized research of the brain
Decent class. If you keep up on your notes, read the book, and pay attention in class, you will pass the class with no problem. As for helpfulness, not very because when you ask him a question, he just says looks like you're on the right track...
Dave looks like Balky from the 80's sitcom, Perfect Strangers
Got kind of boring because it was 3 straight hours of lecture most of the time, but the homework is really easy and the tests aren't too bad either. READ THE BOOK though, there's a lot of stuff on his tests that's from the book and not from the lectures.
Dave Baskind was a great teacher. If you want a professor who is cares about his students and will take the time to help you this is the teacher for you. I have never enjoyed a class more than his. It may get boring but, this class is not hard to pass! :)
Dr. Dave (as he likes to be called) is obviously stuck up and is ready to inform anyone who doesn't care that he and his wife are doctors. Love the sound of his own voice!! Needs to get a life!!!
you guys are insane. dr. dave is one of the BEST teachers i've ever had. if you keep up on the work and pay attention in class, you'll ace it. i loved the class.
He will brainwash, manipulate, and turn your life upside down without you knowing it. That is how good he really is.
The students who like D.r Dave are the type of people in this world who are easily influenced, and can not think for themselves.
David should not be called a teacher, professor, let alone DR. Dave. If you have developed severe health issues especially stomach problems please, inform your doctor about your experiences in his class. I know they are interested in this mans ethics a
All professors will try to brainwash. It is up to students to find out how it is done. I enjoyed my psychology class with David. But wake up, wanting to be called "Dr. Dave" is be an obvious subconscious ploy. Wake up students!
Dr. Dave is the BEST...it's simple, READ the material, DO the homework, LISTEN to the lectures. He doesn't brainwash, he teaches the material and is extremely helpful if you need it!

Dr. Dave is a good teacher. I had psychology in high school, and his class was more interactive than my high school class. He knows his information and he loves the subject, and he also provides the information in a clear, organized fashion.
Worse Teacher EVERY!!!! DON'T TAKE
WORST TEACHER IN PSY! coming from a Psych major myself, he made me hate Psy! He turns everything around and doesn't get to what Psy really is. He brain washes you and the assignments, they are rude and not what Psy should really be about! don't take!!!!!!
Dr. Dave is easy going and relates to you as a PERSON, not a student, he talks to you like a human being, not acting like he is inferior to his students...tests are very difficult but lectures are interesting....
The best psychology pro. I've had. I suggest everyone take this class. Has great teaching techniques, good sense of humor, easy going, and is friendly.
He's an awesome teacher. I actually liked the class. I'd definately take a class with him again.
great class!
Great teacher. Ask and he will explain. Makes himself available to students. Very personalable and relates to students. Loved the class. Assignments are well explained. He makes learning easy.
Very good teacher...explains VERY well. I took the same class at SVSU and failed...I understood the exact same material in Dr. Dave's class and got a B!!! It shows what great teaching can do!
good teacher. always willing to help and very nice. knows his material but gets off track sometimes. class a little subjective to what he thinks but still a good teacher.
Dave is one of the worst teachers at Delta. The people who greatly enjoy his classes are, at best, easily influeced people, who enjoy other people to think for them.
He is an ok teacher, I did not like him personally but he knows, and loves his job. Try to stay on his good side though!

Good teacher, explains things well. Is interesting and is open to student discussion. Tests mainly over lecture notes, a couple from book (book very long-winded). Last hw assignment offers up to 50 extra credit pts. Sometimes, grading a little off.
Awesome teacher! Likes what he is doing and is very helpful. I will definatly take him again.
A great teacher, his midterm and final exams are a little tough. You really have to study the material but he's a good teacher, and his lectures were interesting.
No Comments
Very nice, easy teacher. Come to class, do your homework and take the tests and you will get an A!I would recommend him to everyone!
Good teacher, and open for opinions. tests are difficult though but he knows what he's talking about.
Great teacher...made me want to go in to psychology!!! :)
Even though I just started his class, I really enjoy it. He's very detailed in his lectures and uses exapmles to help make things more clear. Overall, he's an awesome professor.
good teacher, he IS hot!!!!!!!!!!
He should not be in the class of professors...watch your back..and front...
great guy, very helpful
This teacher was very cool. And it helped pass the time that I thought he was a little cute, except for his nose.
Great professor and class!!! Dave is really organized and clear with what he is teaching. I took psych at a different school and failed with a D because my professor wasn't helpful ro clear. When I took it at Delta with Dave, I understood the material and passed with a B! Great teacher!
Honors Psych was a fairly easy class. Pay attention in class, take notes, and study, and you'll pass with flying colors. Dr. Dave is one of my favorite teachers here at Delta so far. He has so much enthusiasm, and is very helpful in class and outside of class. I was never bored once in this class.
No Comments
Dr. Dave is really cool. I really enjoyed his class. As long as you take notes and study for tests and do you homework (there are only 4-5 assignments) you'll do fine. The hardest part about the class is the pamphlet. But even that's not too bad. Dr. D's awesome! You should take this class.
Good teacher. Likes to talk A LOT
Dr.Dave is a good guy so far. The Doc seems to be easy on students.
I took the high school version of this class and I still think I am gonna learn more then I did there. I've only been in Dr. Dave's class a week and a day but he seems like a great teacher so far.
He's a good professor
I like his laugh. When he laughs it makes me laugh
Great professor. A lot of notes but he makes things easy to understand. Definately recommended.
Girls, watch yourselves because this man is so sexy. Not only that, he is a really great professor. He makes things humorous and easy to understand. He will go over things if someone does not understand them. Highly recommended!
Best teacher I have ever had, he makes this class so interesting and fun
Dave is a really nice guy, plus he's good looking which always helps keep you interested in the class. He really get's into what he teaches. He's humorous too. Highly recommended.
Dr. Dave made me feel uneasy and unsure of myself. you know what I mean.
these comments are probably written by Dave himself. Worst teacher I have ever had! Avoid!
really nice guy....interesting lectures...very fair..easy homework...very detailed study guides for all tests.....i'd take him again if i get the chance!
Dr. Dave's class is the best one I have ever had in college. He is funny and has lots of examples to keep things interesting. It is really fun to go to his class.
Dr. Dave is a great teacher he makes class fun and i would recommend him to anyone
Dr. Dave is a really good teacher. He made class fun. He added personal experience which showed that he has been through it. So I recommend him to anyone taking a Psychology class. I looked forward to his class every week.
I liked his class. It was a lot of note taking but they helped me with the tests. He talked in words we can understand. I liled his class and I would take another one
PLEASE READ..WYATT EHRENFELS COMMENTS ABOUT PSYCHOLOGY IN CRISIS..It sounds like Davids teaching practices to the T!!!!
Dr. Dave is a nice teacher, he really enjoys teaching. If you do EVERY assignment and read how to study in his course pack you will do fine. He is VERY picky thou. I would definately take another class.
Very nice guy and easy to get along with. Pretty picky when it comes to essay's on tests. He has a very detailed study guide and homework is very clear. Even though I busted my butt and took advantage of everything on the study guide I still couldn't get better than a "c". I would recommend taking another teacher. This one could ruin your good GPA!
i havent had dr. dave for very long but so far he seems pretty easy going. i do however hope the class becomes more interesting
I like the conversations in class, very interesting. However the grading system is not the best. Very picky with things. Not a whole lot of points offered. BE PREPARED TO TAKE LOTS OF NOTES! Tests cover wide range of chapters, lots and lots of info for just one test. Some extra credit offered. If I took psyc again I'd take it with someone else.
Wow i guess im not the only one. He is too picky and puts way to much info and chapters into his "10 point" tests. I recommond taking a different teacher
Dr. Dave is a great teacher. His lectures are at times a little dull, but he explains things very well and gives lots of examples. There are no surprises in this class- He tells you what you will be doing during the class period and ones upcoming as well. He doesn't pick favorites and he gives extra credit.
I like the class! The conversation is always insightful and fun. It's not too hard not too easy! i just really like it!
I thought this class would be fun. It was interesting, but the lectures were long and got boring at times. I felt that he gave a bunch a stats that were intersting, but not useful on tests. It was an ok class but he's tough on grading.
he was cool.
Easy class, lets annoying people talk a bit too much though
He is a good teacher
Dr. Dave is a really nice guy, and a good teacher. I think that psych is by nature a little dry -- it is science. I don't blame him for having a slightly boring subject. People who rate him poorly are, I suspect, afraid of homework and reading.
A solid teacher. Gives some wicked sweet lecture and helps when you need it. The hotness rating is deceptive, he's actually a good-looking guy. I'm convinced that he has the best non-celebrity 5 o'clock shadow. And if that doesn't win you over, his eyebrows are way above average.
Good teacher, very clear and helpful. Looks like a shorter Ray Ramano.

He is a hard grader. I would never take him again. On the other hand he is very handsome.
smart teacher!! he knows what he is talking about, and is willing to help you in every way. You learn ALOT too! Dr. Dave is the way to go.
The information is easy to understand but his daily quizes can be difficult.
excellent!
The sections he asks you to read are huge, It's like reading a 20 chapter novel in 2 days. If you are 5 min late, forget about getting credit on your homework (except the big projects he would accept later in class). I had a 79.2%, 8/1000pts (0.8%) away from a B- and at the end he told me tough luck. BEWARE!!!
He is extremely nice and he knows his stuff. You will learn a lot and take a lot of notes. He does give attendence points so make sure you come. He only has 3 tests the whole sem. and no final. Also he assigns 14 homeworks in which you only have to do 8 of them. Make sure you read the book also, he gets test questions from there and your notes.
dr. dave is one of the best teachers ive had here at delta. he is SO infomrative. i learned SO much from him. if i could take this class over again i would. i learned the most from him. he gives easy homework and alot of quizzes but they help alot. i would recommend taking this class for sure. =]
Really a cool guy. He was helpful and interesting. Will test you on a question or two from the reading each chapter.
Great teacher... likes to talk alot!! Fun class and well taught
I had Dr. Dave in Fall, & he is awesome. I recommend him to everyone. He teaches very well, & makes everything easier to understand. Very good clarity. He does care about his students, and offers help to everyone. He also provides review guides for the 3 exams, which are very helpful. Just make sure you keep up on the reading. DR. DAVE IS AWESOME!
An Egomaniac. He encourages us to call him "Dr. Dave" I have and have had "A" s since I started college last year and I'm pulling a B- in his class. He takes pride in being "Hard" while messing up my G.P.A. Arrogant, confusing,vague. pick another prof. for intro to psych.
Dr. Dave is the best!
Dr. Dave is a wonderful professor. I would recommend him to everyone that needs to take a psych class. To all the people that gave Dr.Dave bad scores: YOU were the one that earned a bad grade, that doesn't mean he's a bad teacher. It means youre lazy.
I recommend Dr. Dave to everyone who wants to learn psychology. He knows what he's talking about, and cares that his students learn. He gives you the course reviews, homework and expectations on day one. Who does that? If you don't learn something, and get a good grade in his class--it's all you!!
I recommend Dr. Dave to anyone and everyone interested in psychology. He's very straightforward, gives you study guides for tests and explains things completely. Very kind and helpful. TAKE DR.DAVE!
Lectures the whole time but also has a lot of class discussions which are fun and helpful. Study guides for tests are good too.
Unforunately I didn't care for this class. Dr. Dave was very nice but I had a hard time concentrating through the lectures. I didn't find the study guides helpful at all. Wish we would have had a little more time to review in class. Hard to understand how he grades or what exactly it is he wants.
Very good teacher. Psychology is not an easy thing to learn, you have to work for your grade. He does his best to make it as easy to understand as possible. Basically, if you don't like working, don't like studying, and enjoy skipping class and expect a good grade, then this class isn't for you.
School just started and I am already so impressed with Dr. Dave. Of course psych isn't an easy course but he's been great about answering questions and explaining things. Being in his class has really helped me confirm that psychology is the major for me.
Dr. Dave is the best teacher I've had at Delta so far! I loved his class! I definitely recommend it.
I took Dr. Dave for my general psych class (B+), as well as child psychology (A+). He is a very good teacher and I would take him again. His classes are harder, but if you study and do the homework, it's not hard to get at least a B. He is a great teacher. :)

This was a very interesting class but he was a terrible teacher. He literally tells you that he puts stuff on the mid term and the final that he never even talked about! No matter how much time and effort you put into the homework, its almost impossible to get full credit. About half of our class ended up getting a "C" or worse. I would NOT recomm
Gives long lectures that hardly prepare you for the tests. Goes into detail about things that are never on the tests. Then expects you to understand everything he never discussed in class. I advise people not to take him. Im sure there are better psyc instructors at delta.
Does a lot if note taking. I honestly got an A in the class and never opened the textbook. Not much homework, but the guy is a little full of himself sometimes. If you pay attention in the class you'll be good.
Dr. Dave is easily the most chill dude I have ever met. Yes, the tests are harder, and there is a lotttt of notes, but if do what you are supposed to do anyway and put effort into his class, you'll get a B at least, no problem. Very highly recommend him, very good, very helpful teacher. Makes a lot of jokes too haha
Great teacher! Very knowledgable on the subject and knew how to teach it. If you do the work assigned and read the text book you will get a good grade.
Boring and droned on and on about things that were not relevant for the tests. Tons of useless note taking. Not clear on what is expected on testing. I passed with a B, but it was very difficult to follow him. Tests have nothing to do with class discussion or notes. Don't take him if possible
Dr. Dave is a wonderful professor. I was nervous about taking psychology and an honors version of it, but if you do the work, listen to him, and read the text, you'll pass. He's willing to help no matter WHAT and I'd love to take another class of his. He's also pretty funny.
Great teacher. Lectures don't deal to much with tests.....you have to read the chapters or you wont get a lot of test questions. Overall a very easy class to take, not alot of homework....you choose which ones you want to do (8 out of 12).
good person, awful professor. tests were difficult because half the answers were never in the notes, and when answering questions he was slightly rude. unless you can handle long lectures and pointless note taking, do not take him unless you want to ruin your GPA
I loved Dr. Dave. He is one of the most straight forward professors I've had. You know from day one every assignment and due date and all the study guides for the test. It does require some effort but it was not in the least taxing. I would highly recommend him. Super nice and personable!
Dr. Dave is a wonderful professor. His class was interactive, and so long as you did the work and read the assignments a 4.0 was very easy to earn. He actually seems to care about your development, and is always willing to answer questions. Long story short - if you pay attention and do the reading, you will do well. If not, you may struggle.
Love Dr. Dave I plan on taking him again whenever possible. The first day of class he came in and greeted you like you were old friends. I love Dr. Dave not to mention he's pretty good looking too!
Really nice and understanding professor. Exams were a little tough but the overall class was interesting and fun. Dr. Dave offers a lot of ways to learn the material. He is a really good professor.
VERY good teacher. Test's are challenging, but if you understand the material, you'll do fine. He is very involved in his online class. He responds to everything right away. My favorite class since I started at Delta!
Make the exams a bit easier
I found this class VERY HARD. He gives you a ton of reading,podcast,web videos,power points to look at each chapter. His study guide state they contain 80-85% of test material yet still fail tests because its not what he notes on study guide.His material does not match guide. 1/2 class fails exams each week, so you are not alone if you take & fail.
I loved this class! I took it over the summer. he was extremely helpful, easy to talk to, and was a great instructor! i highly recommend this prof. his homework was pretty simple and his grading scale was easy to follow, he also sent out emails periodically with your scores in the class which was very helpful!
Dr. Baskind was a very great instructor for my online class. There is quite a bit of reading with the book and notes, but the material is very interesting. Tests are quite hard, but if you study you will do great. He allows 1 page hand written notes during exams, so TAKE ADVANTAGE - this helps a lot. :) Overall good, funny, and helpful guy!
Dr.Dave is the best teacher I've ever had. He is so understanding if you communicate with him, very easy going. Overall a great teacher and I always look for classes that he teaches!
I took his online psychology course and I really liked him. He emailed every week, outlining what we needed to do for the week. His tests were quite difficult but he makes the tests fun. He is always there when and if you needed to ask any questions. I would definitely reccomend him.
He doesn't give any constructive advice. He just tells you whether you did good or bad by saying "good" or "nope." Be more helpful with your responses!
David Baskind was a easy teacher to get along with and communicate with. His test are tricky, so be sure to study the test review he provides. His homework assignments are self explanatory and very easy. Overall Dave is a great guy, I would recommend him to anyone.
He isn' an easy Professor and dont even think about call him a Professor it's Dr. Baskind. The test's are really hard and my whole class got F's on every test. The review sheet is a joke. He wants you to give a description of the example on everything. Took notes the entire class still wasn't able to pass. You must come to class or you will fail.
David Baskind was an awesome Psych teacher. In order to pass this class all you have to do is take the notes he puts on the over head, do the study guides, and study for a good 30 mins. His tests are VERY easy. A 7th grader could pass his test. He gives out homework assignments but only expects you to complete a few. Awesome guy I loved him.
Dr. Dave is really nice, but he never seemed to be very clear on the things we were doing. Often lectures would include things that would not be on tests and many questions on tests were things that were barely mentioned in the book. With homework assignments be prepared to have it graded as an English paper and to write a lot. Good luck!
Dr. Dave is a super nice guy! Not the greatest teacher... All you do in that class is notes and then he quizzes you on things he never even mentioned. Even though he is a nice guy, I don't think I would ever take him again.
I enjoyed my class with Dr. Dave. Since it was an online class there was a lot of reading, but that can be expected. I always felt like there was enough work for me to practice and understand, but I was never overwhelmed. It was a good balance. Tests weren't easy, but you were allowed to take in a page of notes which helped a lot.
If you don't want to write a large paper and give a presentation at the end of the semester then stay away from this class. Dr. Dave is a great guy but lectures would drag and he would always let annoying people talk. 4 Homework assignments and 3 tests that weren't too bad if you studied for a few days before the test. If you don't study good luck.
Look, Dave is a great guy and one of the nicest individuals you will EVER meet. here's the low down... the class is not the easiest, you most definitely have to study; However if you are actually interested in psychology or are passionate about learning about it this is a great class, (can't miss class, each class has about a 1.5 hour leisure)
I absolutely loved taking honor's general psych with Dr. Dave!!! Many of his lectures were hilarious and the class is very interactive! We got to ask questions and share our input frequently. He emails back quickly. We had 5 HW assignments, 3 tests and a semester project. Lots of reading! He is a tough grader, but gives A LOT of feed back.
I like Dave as a person and think he is a very knowledgable, but I didn't love his class. I felt as though he was too focused on pregnancy and birth, instead of the psychology of children, which really struck me as odd. The tests were tough, but he does give extra-credit papers. There was a lot of class discussion as well, which I enjoyed.
Dr. Dave's class is fun and awesome!! He is a really good professor. The quizzes and Exams, however, are hard, and require you to study hard and read the book. Do not just take notes and call it good, read the book. The class is fun and enjoyable, but be prepaired to have a challenge.
Gives good lectures but some of the stuff on the tests are not covered in lecture and must be read in the book. No reading is technically required. Very little homework.
Solid professor. Homework is fairly easy. you just write a page about the topic he gives you. Reading the textbook would be a great idea because not everything is covered in class. Everything is straight forward. attended class pretty regularly and you will be fine. He's a great guy.
Dr. Dave is very understanding if you take the time to come and talk with him. He tries to break up the longer class with breaks so we don't feel so overwhelmed. The examples he gives in class are easy to relate to and if you have trouble doing so he's more than willing to break it down further so you understand his point.
Makes you really work for your grade. It's not a gimme class. However, if you enjoy psychology and plan on going into the field it is a great class.
If you work hard for your grades and want an A your chances of getting it in this class are slim. He's a really hard grader, doesn't matter how hard you work on something he will never hand out a 100% Also a bunch of material he doesn't cover is on the test that you have to read on in the book. Book isn't touched during class.
Dave is a very nice guy. He wants you to do well in his class, but he will not make it easy for you. His tests and homework reflect the topics, however his tests are very challenging. He expects you to read a lot, and his lectures always take up the entire class period. He was pretty thorough with his lectures, but has lots of info in them too.
I had Dr. Dave for general psychology and he is one of the best instructors I have ever had. There are quite a few quizzes but if you read the book and study, you should do fine. He drops the lowest quiz at the of the semester. I definitely would take one of his classes again.
Professor Baskind is a great teacher. The lectures are not that bad, you get two weeks to do homework, and the tests (more like quizzes) are only 20 points. I've passed the class with a C+ only because I skipped a few assignments. I passed both exams (A and B+) and I only studied a few a hours before. If you take a quiz late it's -4 points.
Enjoyed the class, but you have to READ the chapters in order to pass the test because some things will show up on the test that wasn't in lecture, which does suck. Does offer extra credit. Make sure to carefully read rubrics for each homework (paper) assignment.
Dr. Dave goes through material pretty fast, but if you take notes and at least read the chapter summary of the textbook it should be easy to do well on quizzes. He's really easy to talk to and his lectures are easy to follow & pay attention to. PS--I only clicked the "hot" badge because Dr. Dave joked about it during class. Best professor at Delta!
Read the key terms and take notes and you'll pass!
Dr. Dave has been such a helpful professor. He stops to make sure everyone understands and is very approachable. Although you do get points for attendance, he lets you make things up late, or attend one of his other classes to receive your points. Tests and quizzes are hard, but if you do the reading and pay attention you will be fine! Fun lectures
Dr. Dave at first may seem tough... I started first few weeks with a low C and was gravely concerned, HOWEVER I landed an A by the last day of class. Dave is fair, genuine and willing to help with lots of external resources, if you want a little challenge and really want to understand the material, this class is for you. Note: slight left politics
Dr. Dave was an amazing professor. He is great at getting through to the students and helping us understand each topic. Read the chapters. Tests aren't that hard. Very tough grader- you need to be very specific. Watch out for his dad jokes!!
Dr. Baskind is a nice guy and a decent professor. Lots of reading is required in this class. I personally didn't find this class very interesting, but it's definitely doable. If you do the work and study for the tests, you should do fine.
Dr. Baskind is a true vision of an informed and well educated professor. I learned important material in his classes without the problems of getting bogged down in unnecessary and droning lectures. Very engaging and outgoing as well. I personally recommend to spend less on the textbook (not used much in class) and focus on studying for his tests.
If you go to class and do your work you wont have a problem with him. He grades faster than any teacher I know and gives great feedback.
I have never been in an environment where i was SO uncomfortable. beyond disrespectful and dismissive. I was totally unable to enjoy his class.
Dr. Baskind was my favorite prof. Although I had him in an online class, we did talk through email & discussion boards quite a bit. He class can be a bit tough, but if you do the work & study you can do great. Dave is one of the most caring professors I've ever met in college. He does his best to check in on his students and make sure they're okay!
This class requires a lot of time and hard work. The tests are very difficult and if you are taking it online you have to go to the testing center and take them. He grades very quickly and always gives the opportunity to get points back on the discussions if you dont do so well the first time. Overall get ready for a lot of hard work!
Dr. Dave was an awesome professor! He was probably one of my favorites ever. His tests were hard but college is supposed to be difficult or else you wouldn't learn. I would definitely take his class again!
He was very nice and considerate. The class was boring at times, but he did a good job of keeping your attention. Show up to class and do the assignments correctly and you'll do well in the class.
I had Dr. Dave over the spring '19 semester, he was hilarious. Despite the class being entirely lecture, he made it fun. A few students in the class had mentioned either dropping or failing general psych. with other teachers and I noticed Dr. Dave really had those particular students focused. Participate - conversation keeps the class interesting.
Dr. Dave is an amazing professor. His lectures were normally very entertaining and you learned a lot from them. In my opinion, his grading is very tough, especially on homework and exam essays. He does assign chapters to read (but I only read chapter 1). He truly cares about you and your performance in the class, so don't be scared away.
I really enjoyed Dr. Dave. Hes very quick to respond to emails and his lectures are relevant and entertaining. He truly understands what hes teaching and makes sure you do too. Gives lots of examples. Quizzes are very frequent and hes a pretty tough grader, but if you pay attention youll be fine and find that hes an exceptional professor!
Dr. Baskind is inspirational. If you do the work (reading, homework, and studying) you'll get a good grade.
Dr. Baskin tried to make class as enjoyable as possible, and the class was okay but doing the class online was extremely hard. I don't recommend trying to take this course online, but even if you take it in person, please know it is hard work. Baskin is a cool dude, and is very caring about his students.
Dr. Dave lectures a lot, but he makes it interesting and also includes activities to help learn the material. Before switching to online this semester, I didn't really read my book and did fine from just lectures, but it became mandatory to read each chapter online. He responds to emails quickly and is always willing to explain concepts in-depth.
Dr. Dave's class is entirely lecture-based, so don't take it if you dislike lectures. His lectures are thorough, clear, and very beneficial to me. He's very willing to help his students out in any way that he can. I didn't enjoy the projects in this class, but overall I learned a lot and I would definitely take one of his classes again.
You can tell Dave really cares about his students. We had a book in his class, and I mostly used it for tests. You will have to work for a good grade, but don't let that scare you. He's willing to help.
Disrespectful to students. Made me want to quit school altogether, no regard for students or allowing them to have their own free thoughts.
Dr. Baskind made a spring/summer class very easy & enjoyable. His class is very lecture heavy, but he makes them interesting & memorable. He encourages student participation & was always respectful. He makes comments on almost every part of the assignments, so you know exactly what you did right & wrong. He offers weekly extra credit opportunities.
Dr. Dave is a wonderful professor. Every day agenda was posted for review reminding us when assignments were due. Lectures matched exams.Students allowed to bring notes for exam. Gave good feedback & allowed me to bounce ideas off of him. I received a well-rounded introduction to discipline of psychology. I would recommend this professor to anyone.
Dr. Dave was great! I normally don't like lectures but his were interesting. We had a lot of class discussions, which were great. It a tough class though. Be prepared to read the chapters and study quite a bit. Make sure you take good notes, they will be very helpful! And participate in class, he really likes that, and it makes the class more fun.
Dave is one of the best professors I have ever had, he is such a good teacher, and is hilarious. 10/10/.
I took this class online and did very well. One thing to note if you are taking his class, be prepared to spend a lot of time reading the textbook and TAKE NOTES. I really enjoyed the class and thought Dr. Dave was a great professor. He can be a tough grader at times but he provides several extra credit opportunities to make up for points.
This class put a lot of things into perspective for me and I enjoyed attending every time. Tests, in my opinion, were very easy and reflected what was both in the book and what was taught in lecture. I appreciated the respect for students and the depth of information that was taught. If you invest time into this class, you will get good results.
Dr. Dave is an engaging lecturer who makes the material interesting. The coursework is challenging but manageable with consistent effort. The textbook is essential, and using unstuck study for practice quizzes really helped me stay on top of the material.
Tough grader. The information taught in class is rarely the information on the quiz. I wouldn't recommend taking his class.
