Easy going, and friendly, not a super intense course, but not all that interesting. Overall, good course to take if you don't want a huge courseload.

Organized. Efficient. Helpful. Polite. Compassionate. Understanding. Absolute delight to be in the presence of. He is truly an expert in his field and cares about his students, but don't email him stupid questions. You will just look stupid.

An articulate, knowledgeable and friendly professor. Make sure you do the readings before class.

If you study you should be fine, talks in a very monotone voice, very hard to stay awake in his class, but his tests aren't too bad if you actually take the time to study. Don't have to take notes as he puts his lectures up online.

GREAT TEACHER. highly recommended. Easy tests, and when we did the term paper... he was constantly encouraging the class to come to him for help. He even extended his office hours. If I could, I'd be in his psych class every year. Does have a very monotone voice, I found it hard to stay awake but thats cuz its me:P If you're taking psych, HES THE 1

Class is straight forward. Lectures are from text. Hes so nice and helpful. Has an "everyone is an idiot" attitude sometimes. His voice is unstimulating and makes you feel drowsy. Way too many tests so kind of annoying 5 tests one essay. posts mark quick.

Really easy going teacher, doesn't use the textbook much, very direct and doesn't attempt to try any tricks on the test as long as you study, you can at least get a C+. Funny and engaging with videos to apply concepts discussed.

Veryy easy prof, definitely would take him for all my psych classes. received an A- without everrr being in class. he does have a monotone voice, so it's hard to stay awake. exams all m/c and very straight forward, just need to read his notes. the final paper is also extremely easy, very easy marker!

His monotone voice definitely puts students to sleep, including myself.. But he's such a helpful teacher! Go to his office hours and ask for additional help - he's more than happy to clarify. All his exams were MC except for the last one which had a long question. His tests were difficult but FAIR. Read the notes and TEXTBOOK!!

David is a great psychology prof. Really helpful and his lectures are enjoyable as he has a good sense of humor. I would take him again and recommend him to anyone.

David is such a warm and wonderful person, and is an absolute delight to be in the presence of. He is incredibly helpful, patient, and is an excellent lecturer. Class had 5 tests + 1 lab report. His voice and mannerisms are stimulating and hilarious - he's very lively. 100% recommend him for any psych class. He is truly an expert in his field.

He was very organized and helpful. The test marks were posted online really quickly. Lectures were pretty boring, he doesn't add anything to his powerpoint slides (which don't add much more than what the textbook says)so it's very easy to tune out.

I'm so happy I took my psych course with prime! I mean, yes, his voice is monotone but you'll get used to it. His powerpoints ties in well with the textbook which is great. His tests are super straight forward as well. It's hard to fail in Prime's class!

If you have insomia please join his class.

He is a great teacher that explains the material very well in class. He uses many examples to explain the concepts in class and this helps massively while reading the textbook. His tests are highly textbook related and are pretty easy if you read the book. I would recommend his class.

I feel asleep every class...pretty much sums up his lectures. Super dry, super dull and super boring. He just stands there and talks and talks and talks for 2 hours, NO BREAKS.

Most boring lectures i've ever been too. I only went to class to hand in a paper and do the tests. Tests are straight from the textbook and so are the slides. They are simple if you understand the chapters. We had no final. When I went to him to clarify some concepts during office hours he was super helpful.

Monotone throughout the entire class. Without a doubt, you will fall asleep at least once, or every single class like I did. However, his notes are straightforward and are based off of textbook. Read textbook for more information. If you need extra help, go to office hours and he's more than willing to work with you. He's very nice!

Excellent professor.

Awesome professor who really does a good job of teaching.

An inspiring instructor who always make me think. Will take his class again if I get the chance.

A very good professor, speech is clear and brief.

Easy A. He gives 5 tests, no exams, and one research summary (easy). The tests are all MC and easy because they are not cumulative and once you take them, you don't have to remember the info again. Very approachable, smart and kind. Always answered questions enthusiastically. Skip class if you want, everything is posted online. Class was a breeze.

The lectures were long but if you did skip it's almost all based on the text and posted online, except he did sometimes give exam hints exclusively in class. A bit monotonous at times but he was interesting and could be funny. Tests were pretty easy if you studied and mostly multiple choice. Good for a first psyc class.

Notes posted online. Study those and the tests will be easy. Test questions arnt tricky and are straight forward. Some of them even have very obvious answers to them its kinda amusing. Gives very specific instructions on what to include in your term paper which was SUPER helpful. Cons: Lectures were dreadfully dull

Biggest thing about David is that he genuinely cares about students. Will be available outside of class for help. I fell ill during a test, and David was understanding. Lectures are interesting to me, as I love psychology and random stories. But lectures are long. (2hr) straightfoward. Tests are all multiple choice. 4 tests and no final exam.

Very clear lecture slides. They give away the exam questions and prepare you pretty well for the paper. Paper was a bit tricky but if you go to his office hours he works patiently with you to make sure you get it. I didn't understand til I went to office hours and ended up getting 85% on the paper. Homework super easy too.

Tends to base lectures entirely off of textbook but generally not a bad instructor. Is open to questions and input from students.

Drops a lot of hints about what you need to know for tests and is usually pretty clear about what he's looking for when he's marking. 5 tests, one straightforward paper, nothing on tests that isn't in the textbook/lecture slides which are posted online. He's a good guy but lectures could be more exciting.

David is very approachable, caring and wants his students to succeed. Tests were easy and he even bumped everyone's mark up 5% on one bc he felt it was 'too difficult'. Study his lectures and come to class because he often hints at or directly says exam questions. I especially like his bonus credit opportunities + lots of labs which are fun!

David was a fantastic professor, I would definitely recommend him! His lectures really prepare you for the tests if you pay attention and put in the extra work. He is a wealth of knowledge and I really enjoyed his class.

I'm not a psych major so I took this class as an elective. The best part for me was that the exams were straightforward and non-cumulative. And also NO FINAL!! 3 of the 5 tests had written parts.. the written was always the hardest. There's lots of material but not having to remember all of it by end of term made my life so much easier

The class was lecture heavy and you have to read the text book closely. But Dr. Prime met with me outside of class and helped me with my paper and was very accommodating when I was sick. Great class! Highly recommend.

There's periodic tests throughout and no final! The tests were all multiple choice but could be a little confusing. The term paper is easy if you stick to the guidelines. You will do well studying off of the lecture slides (I only used the textbook twice). He's a decent guy, just a little opinionated at times. This is a decent class overall.

David Prime is a nice and funny instructor. His lectures are very interesting. You need to pay attention to his lectures. He marks fairely. His exams/tests are fair sometimes tricky. If you ask for help or feedback, he will definitely help you. He is very respectable.

You really don't have to attend the classes if you are one of those natural smartypants, but I got a lot out of the lectures. He's incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He's so charismatic. He reminds me of Robert California from the office. He has no final exam either yay!

Easy first year course. Theres only 4 tests and no final. Just memorize his notes and do launchpad for an easy A. His tests are straightforward and easy to improve on. One research paper that is graded pretty easy as long as you follow the instructions carefully.

Straightforward tests if you've done your reviews. Willing to clarify the wordings during exams. Classes can be very boring as he mainly reads off from slides. Clarifies concepts through real life experiences. I wrote the term paper in the wrong format, still gave me an acceptable mark. Overall a worthwhile class.

David has really been working hard to make his classes better for students, by making his examples clear, using easy to understand slides, and giving examples of information that will be on tests. He is always available for extra questions and help. He does expect a certain amount of effort from his students, but its a third year course...

Very interesting lectures. You can see that he cares about the students doing well. Pretty easy to pass the tests if you come to class and listen. Very good at explaining material.

Very interesting lectures. Good at explaining the material. You can se that he cares about his students doing well. No final, but 3 tests, which are pretty easy to pass if you come to lectures and listen.

David's class isnt super hard but he makes you work for it. The term paper is a out of 15 marks and is worth 15%, its a research paper based off an in class activity, for my semester, the paper had to be on mental rotation. Overall his test arent super hard, they MC with short answers. he drops lots of hints about what the SA will be on.

This man is a legend. if you can take his class I advise that you should, he gave the most clear instructions for a assignment I have ever seen. If you take his studying advice and put some effort in you will pass. he is casual, caring, and awesome. Be advised, he does actually read these sometimes. so if you're reading this David, God Bless.

As a first year, David was a good professor. His powerpoint slides were always on point and straight forward, you weren't required to read the textbook if you attended his class regularly and paid attention. He tested us based on his slides and there was no final just a term paper. Caring and gives good feedback if you visit his office hours!

This was my first class in psych and Dr. Prime made it an exciting and positive experience for me. He is caring about his students and passionate about his work. I highly recommend his class. Don't worry about the textbook, his slides have everything needed to succeed!

Great prof overall, grading is fair and tests are straight to the point with no surprises. Very responsive through email and always ready to help! 10/10

I really liked this memory class. The material was heavy, but there wasn't a textbook, just his slides( a LOT of slides). Your mark was based on 3 exams (MC & a few SA), weekly assignments, a paper, and a presentation. The weekly assignments are based on the slides+lecture. Give the best answers you can on these, they were great study material.

Class was essentially fully asynchronous. Consisted of weekly lectures that had everything you needed to pass the tests. David was always accessible outside of class and gave very clear instructions about what exactly he expected on the paper. Overall it was a lot of lectures but they are broken down into segments to make it easier. Would recommend

This prof will not be for everyone as people vary from person to person on their views. Prime happens to be strict about Covid regulations and I had no issues with it. His lectures are quite heavy and long but the material was interesting so if you have enjoy cognitive psych it should not be a huge issue.

David sets you up to do well *and* actually learn the material if you put the work in! Plus he is an expert in the field -- If you have a question, he has a comprehensive answer. (Refreshing!) The lectures are densely packed, but I found them interesting. Study them ahead of the exams, understand the big picture concepts, and you will do well.

Read a few comments in here mentioning that Dr. Prime is boring. Sorry to break it to ya, but not all elements of psych are exhilarating. Some chapters have you more tired than usual, others have you gripping your seat. I haven't finished my course with Dr. Prime, but he comes off as extremely knowledgeable and he respectively wants you to succeed.

I'm a first year taking Dr. Prime for my first Psych course and i can say that he's quite amazing. He goes the extra mile to engage students with great examples, cracks up the class quite regularly, and really wants you to do well! By that i mean he doesn't BS anything,tells you how to do well and you can follow his advice or not. Stronglysuggested

If you study well enough for the exams, review slides, read the text and use the self-testing option that comes with the textbook, you'll do incredibly well. I found his class very straightforward. He does have a tend to complain a lot about past students which makes him appear less approachable, but when I needed an extension, he was very nice.

David's tests can be difficult, but I can honestly say I have retained so much of what I've learned from his class. The professors that gets 5/5 ratings here, sometimes they get those rating because it is so easy to get A/A+ from their courses, but you don't actually learn that much in the end. If you actually want to LEARN, take his class.

David is a good professor who teaches in a way that you actually remember and understand complex topics. Attendance is not mandatory, but very important as he gives test tips and explains concepts more than what is on the slides. There wasn't much class discussion, but honestly, i don't think any was necessary. Make an effort and you will succeed.

Dr. David is an excellent professor and responds to emails promptly. All the coursework was provided at the beginning of the term, along with a weekly timeline for each assignment. The tests were straightforward, provided you reviewed the lecture slides.

Professor David's class is detailed and engaging, but the 8 AM lectures can be tough. He's a nice person with high expectations, giving challenging quizzes and surprise essays. Be prepared, but it's a great learning experience!

knows about the subject.. 8 am class with heavy lectures. tough grader... but provides extra 3 perecent additional makeup assignment

Very nice prof and wants you to succeed. He gives as much support to do well on tests as he can and even tho the written questions are hard he tells you how to study to do well on them. He tests understanding not memorization. If you memorize only expect to get 60-70%. For 80-100% you really need to understand the concepts and do deep processing.
