Tests are difficult but fair, class is fun & worth going to, you'll learn a lot!

Hard, but very fair. I enjoyed this class.

HARDEST TESTS EVER...pay attention to the rat brain handout and KNOW PERFECTLY, always on the test. Study after every class otherwise chances are you won't do well.

I agree with the Rat brain statement!!! I just took one of his famous multiple answer multiple choice tests and it was pretty hard! Good guy. Very helpful and personable.

I love this man. I took this class years ago and he stands out as one of the best professors I ever had. Such a great teacher.

Very fun teacher, but not an easy A. Don't take this class if you want to keep a decent GPA.

An amazing teacher, and his tests aren't as bad as everyone says.

Edwards was a great teacher, but a horrifyingly bad mentor. I loved his class so I approached him to advise me and he only told me what he did and why his path was the road to choose. What a jerk! I think he's really arrogrant because he's legitimately a great instructor, but avoid him for advising.

He is very interested in the material, but I wouldn't reccommend him for anyone who doesn't like to study. You definately would have to study for this class and his tests are EXTRA hard.

i have edwards as my advisor and have had a good experience with him. he's given me a lot of helpful advice. but i agree that he's arrogant and he can be REALLY intimdating to talk to, so i dont think that makes it harder to approach him.

He is a great professor, he makes up great stories. He's a nice guy, but he doesn't take ANY crap (don't be late, he'll stop class and call you in out in front of the entire class) which may put a lot of people off, but hey, he gets the respect he wants. His tests aren't bad if you STUDY for them. If you don't, well...

Great lectures and really hard exams. He knows everything and he expects you to know e verything. I really thought those exams were impossible no matter how hard I studied. But overall he is great. One of the most interesting professors I've met. It was really impressive that he knows everyone of his students names whether they come to class or not

Edwards is a wonderful person when you speak with him and he will help you with any questions you might have. Unfortunately regarding his exams he is merciless. They are multiple multiple choice with no partial credit, there is a curve on them but if you dont know everything he says down to the nuts and bolts you are finished.

edwards is an awesome lecturer. his tests are exactly from his notes and nothing else. i must emphasize that you need to study your ass off for the first test. they are multiple multiple choice w/ no partial credit. know ****ing everything. the tests are fair though because all of the questions are clear and straight from his notes

I learned something interesting every day, but once you start this class, if you want a good grade, your life is over until you finish the last exam. Unless your joy in life is studying, don't take it. However, if you love to study or have to take this course, take a lot of notes and study every day. He's a pretty interesting teacher.

Edwards is an amazing man. You'll learn astounding things in his classes. However, just as everyone else has said, he is merciless on his exams. Anyone taking his class needs to write down absolutely everything he says and maybe bring a tape recorder to record his lectures. I sh*t you not, his exams are some of the hardest you will ever encounter.

Nothing ever changes! I took Brain & Behavior in 1978...the class gave Edwards a standing ovation following his last lecture. The tests ARE hard, but the material is easily comprehensible. GO TO CLASS!

David Edwards is flat out, hands down the best professor at Emory, and quite possibly one of the smartest men I've ever met. If you go to class every day w/ good notes, you'll have no problem. If you have a hole in your notes, though, his exams will mess you up. The exams are fair but VERY VERY hard. Completely worth it. Oh, and don't ever be late.

His tests are hard but they're not impossible. It's called "attending class", and it helps out with that whole "comprehension" thing.

Dr Edwards will challenge you, but his tests are NOT impossible. They are the most fair tests I have ever seen; all the material has been mentioned in class at some point. He's always willing to help, and is a WONDERFUL teacher. He kept a class of 120 interested, which is an accomplishment. He also managed to learn everyone's names by the 2nd week.

Tests are aggravatingly difficult. If you don't know where every bit of information is exactly in your notes and can't recite it back from a cold start, you haven't studied enough. Funny guy, great teaching methods though.

He is very interesting and will not bore you. You must stay on top of your notes and make sure they are good. His tests are not impossible.. they are hard but fair, you do have to know every bit of information. I got a 96 on both exams, the best strategy is to record his lectures and re-listen to them and take meticulous notes. Attend every class.

Best. Professor. Alive.

Amazing teacher! Must work really hard to do well.

Great professor. Very hard tests, multiple multiple choice format. As in, choose all the correct choices for a problem. If a particular problem has 5 options that are correct, choose exactly those 5 or you will not get ANY points for that question. That being said.. great professor, very interesting.. Take the class.

Best professor I've ever had. The material is hard, but the tests are extremely fair if you understand the concepts. A year after taking his classes, I still remember small details from his lectures. Take any class he teaches!

AMAZING professor! My favorite teacher ever! He really sparked my interest in Neuroscience and although his tests are VERY difficult, if you study and really learn the material, you will do just fine. I HIGHLY recommend this class for those interested in being in a challenging and stimulating environment!

Very smart guy and very inspiring. He really knows how to stimulate your thought and his tests are hard but fair. He's my advisor as well. I have to say that conversations with Edwards were intimidating but worthy. He gives many life advices and show real responsibility as a mentor. Best professor I had at Emory!!

I love this class because it is so interesting, however the tests are awful and really really challenging.

Edwards' tests are RIDICULOUSLY hard. I've never gotten a C before, and I'm struggling to get that in his class. That being said, you only have to get a 40 to pass the class so if you're taking the class purely out of interest, like alot of people do, TAKE IT PASS/FAIL. It would've made my semester exponentially easier if I had.

extremely interesting class. he is an excellent teacher. but you must take perfect notes and listen to every word he says. his test are impossible. recommend taking this pass/fail. class should not be a 100 level ...more like 3 or 400 level. but any way he teaches the materialreally well

Great Professor. made me want to become a psych major. tests are hard, but extremely worth it

Greatest Professor ever! Hardest Test Ever! (Multiple Multiple Choice)

Extremely interesting class. Although the material and the tests are hard, he really wants you to succeed in the class and to gain better studying habits. Very helpful during office hours!

It's hard. HARD but.... Although his tests may seem hard, if you take really REALLy good notes and recordings, you will be fine. More than 20 out of 107students got A. He is always crystal clear and interesting.

Dr. Edwards is absolutely amazing professor and lecturer!!!!!!!!!!Although test is really hard, as long as you understand his 5 questions, you can still get an A in his course!!!!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

GREAT Minds!!!!

BEST TEACHER/CLASS IN THE WORLD!!! I would take this class even if I got and F.

Never EVER miss this class. You will miss crucial notes, and getting them from a friend is not half as valuable as being in class. You must memorize the notes verbatim, no exaggeration. But he's a very engaging and fun professor who will go great lengths to ensure you understand the material. To him, the knowledge is more important than the grade.

Absolutely the best professor I have had so far!!!! His course's influence and clarity even helps me succeed in later neuroscience courses because he set a solid background for ALL the material you need to know. This is my second time to rate Edwards, and I would not regret to recommend him with all my heart!

The best professor I have ever had. His teaching style is amazing. The class is not very hard once you figure it out. His exams are solely based on the simple graphs that he draws in class. His exam format is not too tricky, it is essentially groups of true/false questions. I got an A and did not study more than a few days before each exam.

Dr. Edwards is an amazing professor! Super engaging and committed to his students. Test are very hard, but become easy once you figure out a good strategy. Must take excellent notes for this class. I recommend recording lectures and listening to them after class to fill in your class notes.

The best professor at Emory by far. Lectures were very engaging. I recommend recording lectures and rewriting notes. Tests are hard, but if you study well in advance, you will be fine. Also, he calls on everyone at some point so be prepared for class.

So hard...Best professor at Emory though, and you will learn to think about science

He is a very interesting and engaging professor, he knows a great deal about the brain and about behavior. Although I took his 103 class, he stated on the first day that the course number may not be appropriate. Overall the class is very hard, it will challenge you to grow as a student. Despite the rigor it is the most rewarding class I have took.

The trick is to copy everything he says and draws--and I mean everything you can--because the information will definitely be on the test. Don't bother to learn the names of the experimenters. Just know what they did and what the results were and further implications of the study which he talks about. He's a GREAT professor who knows his material.

Dr. Edwards is HANDS DOWN my favorite professor at Emory so far. He is everything that I expected and more; he cares so much about every student, wanting to help them succeed. He sure won't give you that A though... you will have to work HARD, but being taught by such an amazing professor is worth the work for sure.

I'm going to echo the words of a lot of students who have commented and say that Dr. Edwards is absolutely the best professor I've had at Emory. He's challenging, but far from impossible. Everything is manageable with a little time. People who don't like him are honestly just looking for an easy A and don't want to do any work.

He is incredibly interesting. He is extremely well travelled and knowledgeable in nearly all subjects. This class is the biogical side of psychology which is interesting, but complex for a 110 psychology class. Definitely write down everything and review notes daily or at least weekly. Don't be intimidated. Ask questions to understand.

Wonderful class, I got a lot out of it and Dr. Edwards is a true expert of the course.

This class is very interesting and I did learn alot. Dr. Edwards is a great teacher, but you literally have to memorize your notes and more to get an A in this class. Hardest tests EVER.

He is definitely the best and my favorite professor at Emory. People do say that he is really hard, but still manageable. I got over 90 while others were getting 32. I studied really hard. Always starting to prepare for his exam more than one week earlier. RECORD ALL OF HIS LECTURE. WRITE DOWN ANYTHING HE SAID. Listen them right after the lecture.

Dr. Edwards has a reputation for being difficult, but he is NOT unmanageable. There is no textbook - just lecture. Take DETAILED notes, ask questions if you are unclear. Revisit notes every week or so to refresh because the only way you will pass his multiple, multiple choice tests (1midterm,1final) are by knowing those notes inside and out. period

One of the best teacher's I've had, but DO NOT take this class if you dont want to work your ass off. Your entire grade depends on 2 exams. The way he grades is so harsh and you get absolutely no partial credit. The material is interesting but if you cant get over an 85 on both tests, dont expect an A.

Loved the lectures and the way he thought. Tests are really hard. Took me some time to get used to them and learn how to study for them. Take clear notes during class. If you need help with them go to office hours and he will explain everything.

Prof. Edwards was one of my favorite at Emory. Class is lecture based and the tests are EXTREMELY HARD. If you don't attend class and write down literally every word he says, you will fail. Your notes are all you have. I went to his office hours almost everyday just to make sure I understood everything. He's really helpful if you go to him for help

the BEST professor I had in Emory! Take his class before you graduate! He is a very fair professor and his lecture is super clear and interesting. He just makes you want to learn. No homework, no readings, only two tests and the final is optional. Are they hard? It depends. I got As on both tests so I guess they are very doable.

Be ready to memorize, and internalize lectures. Lots of information every class. Must be super focused and not tired. He writes on a notepad using an overhead projector. Write what he says, write what he writes. Miss it? Ask your buddies. Office hours are for explanation. If you don't have a heavy schedule, I suggest voice recording. No powerpoint

Edwards really knows his stuff, and is one of the best professors in the department. That being said, he is also notoriously tough and you really need to make sure you pay attention and study hard if you want to pass the class. He's also very willing to help, but you do need to make the initiative. Great professor overall.

This course makes me struggle. No textbooks, no assignments, no quizzes or projects. The exam scores mean everything. Your average score of the two exams determines your grade. You may take an optional exam to replace the lower score. He is super helpful and answers all emails. Go to the lecture and take notes and understand them, you will be fine.

I LOVED Dr. Edwards' class. Everyone will complain about the multiple multiple choice exams, but everything you need to know will be in your notes. Super interesting and engaging lecturer. Take advantage of office hours and make appointments to discuss class material if you need extra help. He wants you to do well in his class!

Dr. Edwards just has 2 test and the entire course grade is based on these tests. His classes are tough but if you work hard and on regular basis, you can perform good. His lectures are one of the best lectures that I have ever experienced. He is a big name in Psychology and it was a privilege to be able to study in his class in my first semester!

Hardest tests ever. Material is interesting but lectures can get a bit boring.

His lectures are very interesting and he is very good at explaining the studies that he presents in class. He writes down all the notes that you need for the tests and there is not textbook so attending class is a must. He is a fair grader and is tests are easy if you really study and understand the material.

He writes all the notes in class and not posted anywhere. Only grades are 2 multiple choice exams with multiple right answers for each question. If you miss one then the whole question is wrong. TYPE NOTES in order to get everything he says. It is a difficult class but if you study hard and understand what is being taught then you will do well.

He's a nice guy. his exams are awful. Multiple multiple choice will kill even the best of students. Take the class if you're really looking for a challenge. His lectures are very engaging and super interesting. There's no textbook so be ready do frantically write everything he says in lectures. Oh and 100% of ur grade comes down to 2 exams.

Prof Edwards was one if the most amazing professors I have ever had, He has a real interest in psychology and really wants his students to learn a lot. However, this course IS test heavy and you cannot miss class. If your write down everything he says and understand what is going on, there is no reason why you shouldn't succeed.

Dr. Edwards is one of the smartest and most engaging professors I have had at Emory so far. His Psych 110 class is by far the hardest Psych class one will ever take. All students have to attend every class if they want to succeed, try handwriting all your notes and pay attention to his Brain Diagrams those always come for a good 10-20 marks on exam

Lectures extremely interesting. This professor knows his stuff. No textbook or readings, but take good notes because the tests are entirely based on lectures and your grade is entirely based on tests. Don't think about regularly skipping class. If you want to learn a lot of interesting material from a very smart, knowledgeable prof, take Edwards.

Tough prof who really makes you work for a good grade, but one of the most caring, helpful, accessible, and genuinely incredible professors I've ever had. I've taken both 110 and 103 with him and recommend both classes. Truly cares about what he's doing and making sure all of his students understand the material deeply. All-around great man.

Best professor I have ever taken, Such a wise man. I dont know what everybody on here is talking about, if you attend class, its an easy A. also saves the hassle of reading text and buying a textbook. Greatly recommend him

Amazing professor. His lectures are so interesting and it was an easy A as I attended all the lectures. Would definitely recommend taking him

A little tough but the class was great and he was incredible. There are only two midterms which are pretty much based on the class notes. If you attend class, you good!

He's an amazing teacher, but his classes are incredibly hard. The tests are MC/MC, and there's no partial credit, so that sucks. If you're a Psych major, you can't miss his classes! Take them pass/fail if you have to!! He also puts on a huge curve, like a 56 is a C. He also offers an extra credit opportunity & brings his dog to work every day.

I'm not a psych major, but I took his class for my SNT credit. It was phenomenal (if a lot of work), and I would strongly recommend it. The class requires student exertion and the tests are difficult, but I would say grading is fair. His classes are well worth a mild strain on your GPA.

He's legit the best professor ever, you learn so much. The topic is just mad interesting, it's fun, but really challenging. I did well but I worked... He sends review emails after every class, review the lectures everyday and memorize it. His tests are very fair. People here who say it's too hard don't work hard, simple

Edwards is a fantastic professor. However, you MUST show up to every class, you MUST write his notes verbatim (hes not too fast so that isnt very hard), and you MUST memorize the results/conclusions. If you do so, his exams are 100% straightforward, as there are no surprises. If you go in expecting a cake walk, however, youre in deep trouble.

David Edwards is an incredible professor, he challenges you with his MC/MC tests, but they are super fair. He gives you everything you need to know to succeed on his tests; however, if you don't memorize the conclusions/results/graphs of the experiments you will fail. He grades on a serious curve so an 85-100 is an A. Take this class, but be ready!

This will be, by far, the hardest intro course you will take at Emory. You MUST go to class every day, even though attendance is not taken, or you WILL NOT pass. Only 2 tests make up your grade, with an optional final. Test grading is very difficult and relies solely on lecture notes, so pay attention. Course material is interesting but very heavy.

Go to EVERY class and TYPE every word he says, but have paper on hand so you can draw the graphs he shows. To study for the exams, paste all the email questions into a doc and answer them, along with the 5 questions for each experiment. Tests are tough but the questions are quite straightforward IF you understand every study well. Awesome guy, too!

I got an A in orgo and a c- in this class. this aint it chief

Dr. Edwards is an amazing professor. His class is challenging, but he is very fair and makes it completely possible to succeed. He provides a review session and study guide before every exam, is extremely accessible and replies to emails very quickly. If you ask questions and memorize the details and results of all the studies you will do great!

Dr David Edwards is a fantastic professor in my opinion. Although his class is known to be hard, if you attend class everyday and pay attention to what he says, you'll be fine. The tests are quite easy if you review the material taught in class. He is very accessible outside the classroom and make sure to visit his office hours.

Having taken both of Dr. Edwards' PSYC 110 and now PSYC 103 class, I can safely say that I've had enough time with him to know that regardless of how challenging it is to study for his examinations, he is a spectacular professor and teaches absolutely riveting material. He is a legend at Emory, a must-take professor. You can prevail and get an A!

Dr. Edwards is a brilliant man and engaging professor. He's really invested in his students and their learning. He's certainly intimidating, he also has a soft side. Dr. Edwards has a bad rep. but I had a great experience being his student. He was very helpful in office hours and never boring. Must work REALLY hard to do well, but it's worth it.

The only two grades in this class are the two midterms (which for us were open notes). As long as you go to all of the lectures, take good notes, and ask questions when things are not clear, the class is easy and interesting. I was always on the edge of my seat.

Dr. Edwards is an amazing lecturer. He has a bad rep for being a tough grader and his exams are actually really really hard. You definitely need to study very hard and my advice is to start reviewing at least two weeks prior to the exams. Hard work but worth it.

He is such a nice person and he remembers every single student's name in class! You will ace this class if you review the notes frequently and using his email as a guidance! You will learn a lot, Good luck

Professor Edwards's class is definitely tough but a worthwhile challenge if you're interested in neuroscience or psychology. After seeing all the bad reviews, I wanted to drop the class, but I ended up loving it in the end. If you want to do well, you must understand everything about the material and study hard. He's also the nicest person ever!

Grade based on two exams and an optional final. Final grade above 85 is an A. Exams are multiple-multiple choice, but are open notes (Take extremely good notes. He allows you to record lectures, if that helps) and no time limit. Attendance isn't mandatory, but if you skip class you WILL FAIL. He is sweet and caring, and is an excellent teacher.

Dr. Edwards is the type of professor I came to Emory for - he challenges you, makes every lecture exciting, and truly cares about his students. He knows every student by name and encourages participation. He's always available for office hours and answers emails quickly. Take good notes and you'll do fine - there's no surprises or tricks on exams.

Dr. Edwards is a phenomenal teacher. His tests/quizzes are hard, but there are never any tricks with them. He says everything you need to know, so take really detailed notes. I had this class online.

Dr. Edwards only lectures and your grade is determined by quizzes and two tests. However, he explains everything in class, and it's super important that you take detailed notes. The tests and quizzes are open note, but your notes from class will help you the most. He's always available for Office Hours and meeting outside of Office Hours.

Really, really tough class but Dr. Edwards is an incredibly intelligent person and you will learn a LOT. Make sure to take really good notes in class if you want to pass the exam.

Edwards is called the GOAT for a reason. This class was amazing. A pure in-depth analysis of the mechanisms behind behavior in the brain and truly made me enjoy it. I remember 90% of his lectures and the research studies that we talked about since he is that memorable. Loves teaching and will try to get you to think deeply about hard concepts.

Take him if ure ready to work, but it's rewarding. If u write down EVERY word he says, u WILL get an A. But lecture is dry & he calls on ppl to answer. There were abt 25 quizzes (1-3 HARD questions), 2 tests (based on quizzes), a final, & 4-8 pts EC total. Every QUESTION was no partial credit but was open notes w/ no time limit. (^covid conditions)

Dr. Edwards was a great professor and interesting enough of a lecturer but you have to really pay attention and take good notes if you want to get a good grade.

Dr. Edwards is a hidden gem at Emory. His extremely dry sense of humor may not be for everybody but I enjoyed him so much. His lectures are so clear and easy to follow, and his own lab work is often included! I'm not a psychology major, but I want to take more of his classes. Extremely responsive, very clear criteria. Huge respect for him. 10/10!!!

i'm not a psych major but i'm so grateful I got to take edwards' class. infinite respect and he makes me laugh every class. truly a gem.

Dr. Edwards is truly a legend at Emory Psyc Dept. I will not be able to get through the mist of such study material without his enlightening help all the way. I have to say the content is hard, especially for the first few online sessions. You will definitely get beyond an amazing score from this class if you put in the effort. Highly recommend.

Dr. Edwards is literally the BEST PROFESSOR I've ever taken classes from in Emory's psychology department. I hate learning neuroscience but he makes the class not just bearable but AMAZING. Come to class and take extremely detailed notes. All his exams (2 midterms and 1 optional final) and quizzes are open-note and online. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Dr. Edwards is an awesome professor. His tests and quizzes are difficult, but if you go to class, pay attention, and take detailed notes, you'll do fine. He responds to emails fast, and is always available after class for questions and clarifications. He's a genuinely good guy, and really appreciates if you participate.

Dr. Edwards was one of the best professors I had at Emory. As long as you went to class and paid attention it was easy to get a good grade. He is kind and answered emails with questions I had quickly. His questions were all or nothing for credit which made it a challenging class for many people, but I would 10/10 recommend it.

Dr. Edwards is the best professor you could take as a freshman. His lectures are engaging and sometimes fast pace, he encourages students to communicate; he always makes himself available. This class will challenge you, his exam questions are all or nothing. The class teaches you to take detailed notes and encourages students to review work daily.

Professor Edwards is an amazing professor. The class is very difficult and is based on 25 quizzes and 2 exams all select all that apply questions, all open note. If you pay attention in class & study you will do well. His lectures are amazing and so interesting, definitely a hard class but so worth it.

Honestly, this class feels like a weed-out class. He has no slides or anything posted to canvas, so you absolutely must attend class if you want to do well. He grades very harshly, and is a very fast-paced professor. His handwriting is also quite difficult to read. So yes, the class is very hard, but at the core, it is also very interesting.

Professor Edwards is the reason why I switched to a Psychology Major. He is a very intelligent man, and if you aren't willing to put in the work that is needed for his course, I would not recommend taking it. His lectures are very engaging, and you will genuinely learn a lot from his course. Attendance in class and good note-taking is a must.

AMAZING professor. His classes are fun but also fast-paced, and you definitely need to take good notes because he doesn't have PowerPoint slides or class recordings. He could be a bit intimating at first, but he is very supportive, accessible, and cares a lot about his students. Overall, an amazing class! Would take it again for sure.

He's SO brilliant and very caring. Fascinating content (if you get it), but SO HARD. Only 4 people got A's on our midterm, even though he made it open-note for the first year ever. Graded only by 2 exams and 25 mini quizzes. He doesn't do partial credit AT ALL so you can (and will) get 0 points on a question if you answer almost entirely correct.

Dr. Edwards is the best professor I've taken a class with at Emory. His exams are incredibly fair and super easy to do well in if you pay attention in class and take notes. He outlines exactly what information is relevant and what you need to know from each unit to do well in the class. The class is also structured incredibly logically.

Took this class my first semester in fall '18. Definitely one of the most challenging/tedious courses I've taken at Emory, but the information sticks if you go to all lectures and study lecture notes. Dr. Edwards was willing to go over exams and help formulate a study plan to learn/test better. This class has made repro a breeze in med school!

Taking this class in the fall of freshman year was the best decision I could have made. Dr Edwards is so knowledgeable and engaging in lectures. This class is challenging and that's why many students don't like him. If you want to learn and develop effective study techniques this is the class for you. Say what you want but Dr Edwards truly cares.

While many say this class is hard, I would characterize it as more 'tedious'. I took this class the fall of 23 and it was the first year that he made the tests open-note which made it more tedious, but reduced the uncertainty with exams. All you need to do is take extremely detailed notes, and drink a coffee before, and you will do well.

Dr. Edwards runs a challenging course, but if you engage with the material and utilize tools like Unstuck ai for study prep, you can do well. Attendance is key, as are detailed notes - his lectures move fast and don't rely on slides. Overall, a rewarding class.

he's knowledgeable in what he's teaching so the lectures are interesting. no textbook or hw, so u really have to pay attention bc there's no slides or lecture recordings so ur notes are the only info u have for tests. canvas quizzes are graded only 0 or 100, but as long as ur organized and go to class its not too hard to get an A

The class can be challenging, but if you review his post-class emails and ask questions about the material, you will do fine. He loves making time to meet with you and answer questions. Exams are also open-note, so make sure your notes are good!

Dr. Edwards is an AMAZING professor and his content is very interesting. I understand how it could be different for those who come into class expecting an easy A and not there to actually learn. However, if you follow along the notes he writes out for you, the tests are easy to get 100% on even though there are no partial credits.

Dr. Edwards is the best professor at Emory. He genuinely cares about his students, he has put immense effort in building the class and he is very passionate about teaching. Take very detailed notes, go to office hours and you'll succeed. His class is intellectually challenging but rewarding, so if you just want to memorize things, don't take it.

Took him last semester, an amazing, caring professor. Do the 5 questions for the studies, read his emails, take good notes, go to office hours, put in the effort and you'll be fine. It's not your usual slides & practice problems class, but it's highly interesting. He is an inspirational lecturer and an amazing person.

If you want to know what a great professor and class is, take Psyc 207 with Dr. Edwards. Yes, other comments are true about his old school teaching style, but you will learn so incredibly much. Probably the most rewarding psyc class on that level. His lectures are personal and engaging and it is perfectly planned out. He ALWAYS makes time for you.

Dr. Edwards cares so much about his students. Provides all the resources necessary to prepare well for exams and very accessible outside of class. While this class was challenging (rely on own notes, must attend class, no partial credit), I learned a lot and enjoyed my learning experience. Review with someone. Talk through the content out loud.

He cares about everyone although he might seem like a scary person. very accessible. Just take good notes, be sure to review them before exams and you'll be fine.

Great guy. He truly does care about how you do in his class. Midterms/Exams super hard. Online mini quizzes during the week. Exams are all open note so you have to write everything down in class and really attend lectures. He doesn't really go 'by the book'--pick another professor if that bothers you.

Edwards is an amazing psych professor, and all of his lectures are really interesting, and besides some short canvas quizzes, there's almost no hw. But the exams are tricky because even tho they're open note, there's no partial credit which gets a lot of ppl. He's always willing to help tho, just make sure you read his emails and review well.

Doesn't post his notes, so although attendance isn't mandatory, you need to show up. Every class is lecture—pen and paper. If you miss a tiny note, be sure to go back and get it. Tests are very very hard. Know your studies, print your study guide ahead of time and study it. Very accessible, may seem scary but genuinely cares about his students.

Edwards is one of the best professors I've ever had. He may seem intimidating, but he'll go out of his way to help clarify any confusion to ensure you get the material. He truly cares about his students and teaching. The course itself is challenging, but if you show up, engage, take notes, and prove that you care, you'll do well. TAKE THIS CLASS!

amazing lectures and he cares deeply about his students. Don't miss lectures otherwise it would be hard to catch up. Graded by 2 midterms and one optional final exam but all exams are open book. Make sure to take very good notes and make connections between themes because everything that he test you on come from the exact notes.

Dr. Edwards is extremely passionate, caring, and evidently knowledgeable: you learn a lot in the class. Tests are very hard, but grades usually work out in the end. Be sure to attend lectures, take in-depth notes, and don't assume that just because the test is open notes that it will be easy-always reformat and review before tests. Lot of content

Dr. E is nice and a good lecturer, and answers emails quickly. Setup of the class is annoying: no textbook, all info comes from his handwritten notes in lectures (show up if you want to do well). The exams (two + an optional final) are open-note, but multi-select w no partial credit. Not worth it for a science gen ed, but interesting class.
