I think he's a great teacher, knows his stuff and knows how to teach it. That's what counts!

Great man; I learned more in his class than about 5 others combined. I got an A, but I worked for it.

Prof. Junus is the best prof I had at SMU. You have to work hard BUT I learned so much from his course.

I don't really think that Junus stutters too much, but maybe I'm biased b/c I am amazed at all this guy knows. Don't expect to sleep through his class if you want a decent mark. His tests aren't overly hard, but you do have to do the work!

Excellent prof. Junus knows his stuff and it really shows. This is my second course with him and I have learned a lot from him. You cn get an A but you have to do the work.

Yeah, he does challenge his students. But I learned a lot from him and I did get an A.

Good Prof. Good teacher. Tests are not too hard but you have to go to class otherwise you are screwed.

Good Prof but expects a lot from students. He thinks we should be as smart as him. Though this may sound nice, he may push students who already doing the best they can. He is clear and helpful and at times intimidating. Overall, he teaches well.

I took 3 courses with Junus - I learned a lot and did well in each one, but you have to work for your grades in his classes. Great prof, though, one of the best in the Psych department.

I took four courses from Junus and got A's in all of them. He teaches you a lot of material. You really have to work for hard for a good mark. Students who are looking for easy courses should stay away from Junus. I think he is one of the best profs at SM

He is a great man, the classes are fun and he uses a lot of examples to help you understand. Go to Class or you will not do well. On the test he puts questions such as "In class Prof. Junus said this" and they are easy points if you go to class.

Research Methods...AWESOME professor, so clear and demands a lot, but in a fair way. Is very clear and helpful and cares about his students. Exams can be kind of tricky, but overall, awesome course!!!

Hard prof, but this is still one of the classes where I actually learned the most. Go to class, take notes and you'll be fine.

Just finished stats with Prof. Junus - great course. He is very helpful and nice but can be short with whiney students like the hefty gals in the middle of the class who complained about how hard the course was - your in university, gals, not junior high.

I am not sure who the two disgruntled people are (they must have failed)BUT Prof. Junus is an easy going guy who is very helpful. I got an A+ in Psy 350 (Stats) from him. Junus gives a lot of work but you actually learn things in his class.

Brillant. Unfortunently assumes everyone else is too.

been going to smu for 3 yrs and he is my fave prof so far. you must attend class to do well. he makes you work for your mark and has mastery over his subject

Prof Junus is great. He makes the course material enjoyable and I have learned a lot. Tests are not too hard if you go to class.

HE is a very smart man however he expects ALOT from his students. His disabilites class required 12hrs volunteer work outside of class time and his tests were also hard. If you are taking a course with Junus be ready to alot of studying!

Great class. Prof. Junus was a good prof and I learned a lot.

Great prof! Exams can be challenging, so keep on top of your work and never skip this class. Junus does an excellent job teaching the material and tries to keep it interesting. There are lots of bonus point opportunities too.

Excellent prof even though his studder is a little difficult to sit through sometimes. If you take this class you have to attend it everyday if you want to do well because 50% of the exam questions are from examples he uses.

He is a master of the subject, and has very interesting examples of topic material to share with the class....however he is not very personable.

He certainaly knows his stuff and teaches well. But he is very strict in class and this makes class a one-way lecture course than students interactig in class. Prof. Junus should lighten up a bit..

Overall a good course but rather hard for a psych course. Typical psych courses are easy, but Junus' are hard. If you want too learn, take his class. If you want a good mark, take someone else's class.

Very interesteing course and he was agood prof. But the tests were really hard!!!

I learned a lot but had to work my tail off to get an A. Midterm and final exams were very hard.COmpared to other psych courses, Junus' courses are too hard!!

HE is a good prof and prepares you for further psychology studies but he gets frustrated easily and can be a bit alof

He is an Amazing prof. You definetly learn a lot however. His tests are fair but you need to know A LOT of information to do good on them. Do not take the course if you are not genuinely interested!!!

this prof is awesome!!! he makes the class fun and is very smart and helpful.

Junus knows his stuff and is an excellent prof. He is very demanding but that is what you expect at an university level - to learn in depth, not at a high school level. The whiners are too comfortale with getting A's in bird courses. I am an A student and find this prof really challenges me and I learn a lot.

Great Prof. Very smart, I like his outline, he is not like other psychology profs where the marking sceem is 33% 33% 33% multiple choice. I suck at them and he actually gives pple a chance by having exams with short answers. Come on people dont be so lazy and do the work.

No joke, the man is hard. But, he's a professional clinician who "actually" works in the field of disabilities and special needs, especially children. as a result, he's passionate about the subject material and he also wants to give u a solid foundation if u're going to work with ppl w/ a dis. or spec. needs. B prepared to study hard and get an A+

Very challenging course. Junus' teaches well but is has an intimidating personality and can be quite demanding.

Prof. Junus is very knowledgeable in the subjcet matter and shows a lot of passion which makes the information much more enjoyable and interesting to learn

hard class but you'll learn a lot from it if you put the work in.

The course is hard and Prof. Junus teaches it well. There is a lot of work but you learn a lot. Class attendance is a must. midterm and final were very long and hard. A lot of work for half credit. Take it if you like the course area - behavior problems of children.

This man is not only a psycology expert but a poet. He is swift as a bird and sly like a fox.

It was a really hard class. I found that he didn't really have the patience to give the students the extra help they needed. I worked really hard and only got B's. He only grades you on exams so if you don't do well on exams this class probably isn't for you

There was a lot of work, but Junus explained it all well. The book wasn't used (save for one multiple choice question on the mid-term).

This course is hard for an intro psych class. Junus teaches it well and the course material is very interesting.

Class was interesting and you can apply it to everyday life but tests were hard. A lot of work for a 1000 level course in psychology, which are usually easy. Liked the videos and personal stories. Prof really knows his stuff.

the guy may be pompous and the class may be harder than most but this is university not high school. Agreed his classes are among the most difficult at SMU but still, people need to grow up and work.

There is no question Junus knows his stuff and he can be abrupt at times. I have always got A's in Junus classes but I had to work my tail off. But I have learned a lot. Attendance is mandatory and be prepared to do a lot of work; if you can't then DO NOT TAKE his classes.

Probably the best prof. at SMU no doubt. I have friends that have had him at DAL and also said he was amazing. Quiet honestly, the people who dont like him are the people who clearly should not be in university. period. end of story. good class! a lot of fun and i learned a lot!

He DEFINITELY knows what he is talking about, and (quite understandably)does not have the time for stupid questions. However, if you're questions are valid, there is no professor who is more helpful or knowledgeable about the subject matter...PERIOD

Junus makes it very clear on day 1 that in order to well all you have to do is go to class and ask for help when you need it. I did and got an A+. Others didn't & failed. If you pay attention in class and read the book, the tests are easy. The essay's long but bring it to him before the due date & he'll correct it so you can fix it & get full marks

BEST PROF. AT SMU BY FAR! Junus realy knows how to teach, and unlike other profs in Nova Scotia .. he actually has clinical experience with working with patients! Yes, this course is a little harder than other courses at SMU, but you will actually LEARN useful material from this course and I would have to say it is the best i've take by far!!!!

University does not have to be this hard. His methods course in spring session has 8 labs, 3 tests, term paper - all in 6 weeks. Ridicuosly hard!!!!! He maybe smart but easily gets frustrated and can be rude. He teaches as if he was in Harvard and forgets we are undergrads at SMU. I should have waited and taken th course from someone else.

Junus is very informative but very difficult. If you have a a heavy course load I do not recommend his class. But if you want are at university to learn, take his course. He has mad knowledge and skill and is a very talented lecturer and teacher. He wants you to learn and will help out to make sure you do any way he can.

Dr. Junus is THE BEST professor and he is so knowledgeable. He knows so much about psychology and has lots of clinical experience and has worked with many patients. Yes students, he is an incredibly hard marker...but what do you expect at the university level? Read your textbook and come to class to do well, otherwise...you're doomed.

A LOT of work. Probably the hardest course I ever took. I learned a lot but way too much work for 1/2 credit. Prof. Junus knows the area and is a pretty nice guy. Expects a lot from his students, and it is a lot of work!!!!!!

Extremely knowledgeable but makes class very hard. "Learning" was way too hard for an intro psyc class. Helpful if you go to see him. Sometimes hard to understand. Very strict and won't allow any leeway when it comes to work. Doesn't post notes so attendance is mandatory. A little intimidating

Well, clearly the person who posted below got a bad mark in the class and is clearly upset lol! I thought PSYC2340 was hard, but very fair. Dr. Junus teaches at the University level and therefore people should expect to work hard to do well. I got an A and learned tons. Awesome prof

PHENOMENAL ! Best teacher I have ever had in my life! Enough said. Ps; if you show him that you're truly interested, he will help you in your work.

People need to realize that this is UNIVERSITY, not highschool or community college. I have had Dr. Junus for several courses at SMU and every course was taught with passion, as he is very knowledgeable! I had to work hard for a good mark, but I was very challenged and feel like I am now ready for graduate level psychology because of him! great pro

great prof, nice guy, and knows a lot about clinical psychology through experience. the course was pretty cool

He is the best psych prof at SMU. He is very knowledgeable, fair, and a good instructor. He makes you earn your grade - and he doesn't play favorites. I took every course that he taught. Love this prof!

Prof. Junus is an excellent prof. Other psyc profs could learn a thing or two from this guy; he not only is approachable and friendly, but he teaches extremely well and knows the material really well!

He is a very nice professor. i took him this summer for Research Method and even though it was a hard condensed class but between him and his TA Tessa they were awesome in helping me with research proposal and course work. he is a good prof
