I had the biggest crush on Dr. Rose. He is so intelligent and sweet:) If you're a guy, you'll enjoy his class too:) You can tell he really likes teaching and he likes class discussion. He also puts all his notes on the web. Take his class!

charming, funny, make lectures bearable, v.flexible w/ grades & stuff

Very monotone, dry sense of humor, but can hold your attention. Lectures correlate with the book very well. Easy on the eyes, charismatic charm...mmmm.

Read there is no way to get around it, go to class and do the extra credit then you will surely get an A.

Engaging lectures. If you do the reading then getting a good grade should be no problem.

I took him when he first started at UCSD-he looks like Nicholas Cage and he is monotone but funny! The matierial is great and he does a great job of presenting it. Very helpfulvia email or office hours. Loves his job.

People think Dr. Rose has a monotone voice, but he's actually not boring at all. He can be pretty funny sometimes, very intelligent, and he cares about his students. Get to know him, he's a great guy.

a lot of memorization, but he made the class interesting. it wasnt boring but the quality of his voice made me tend to nod off. he showed us a ****en pic from his college days dressed in a bikini...explains material well. funny

Prof. Rose made the class really interesting, there are 2 midterms, both 50 mc questions, the class is a breeze, about 50 pages of reading per week but it's all interesting and straightforward, lecture is important, so just go to class, put in 2 hours/week and you will have yourself an easy A

He's funny in an unassuming sort of way. The topic was very interesting. This class was one of my favorite at UCSD. You have to read and study a little bit right before tests, but totally witin reach to get an A.

This prof is great, everything is so clear, he is very approachable, gives EC and has good office hours. He is humorous and gets through material, but you will need to work to get top class grades, but all reading very interesting!!

he can be humourus if he wants to. class is not boring at all if u like the subject. he only post his lect notes after class tho. tests r mc but detail oriented, so got to memorize the facts. besides that, not hard at all. MUST read the texts(2) to get an A. xtra credit helps tho. 12 pts.

Doesn't curve mulitple choice tests but teaches well enough for average to be a B. Does allow extra credit of 3 percent by experimetrix or papers. it's worth going to class cause he posts an outline but not the slides themselves. the book helps clarify the subject matter but the chapter tests are almost identical to the midterms.

He's amusing and funny, so his lectures are worth going to. He has slides online, but go to class b/c he explains them. Tests are fair, but need to do more than just read the book once and highlight, to get an A. The additional book is actually interesting so the readings aren't too bad. Overall, class is not bad, take it with him.

The class was decently easy and I found the tests very fair. Interesting lecturer but I stopped going after the first week because Peter108 packed with 400 people = very bad smell. Got an A just reading the books.

He rocks. First exam was tough but the final exam made up for it... he is a very interesting lecturer and this has been my favorite class at UCSD so far. Highly recommend

Professor Rose is an awesome teacher! His lectures are interesting and the tests are more than fair. He is also very funny at times. Tests are multiple choice and he allows extra credit. Just read or go to class and you'll get an A.

great prof, great class..favorite so far! really interesting, tests are fair (first one is a little tricky but other 2 more than make up for it), and he allows 12 extra credit points...doesnet get any better!

I agree 100% with the last 4 ppl, great teacher, VERY INTERESTING MATERIAL, an A is in reach if you go to EVERY lecture, it's easier if u read the book, READ THE CASEBOOKS. there ralways questions from there and the stories are fascinating (and sometimes disturbing)...T.A.'s are helpful, most straightforward class ever, all mult. choice w/ ex. cred

Whew, what a good-looking man. Overall, I enjoyed this class. Even though he didn't curve the midterms (both had B averages), he wound up curving the final, which was cool. Lectures were interesting and Rose was pretty funny at times. Take this professor!

This is one of the most interesting classes I have ever taken! I learned so much that will help me in grad school. The lectures were interesting and the TAs helped with questions. You MUST read the book and study hard to get an A, do the extra credit. It is a lot of information, but way worth it!!

It's an interesting class and Rose teaches it very well. He comes up with clear examples and often tells a story from personal experience along with each disorder. There are times the material can get dry, but it's cool because you still got some eye candy to keep you entertained.

His slides are extremely clear and he is one of the more down-to-earth professors at UCSD. Make sure to read the casebook!!

If nothing else, read the case study books. He posts most of the slides online, so it's okay if you miss a few classes. He's funny, though sometimes you have to go over dry material that not even he can save. Overall, a good lecturer, his exams are reflective of what he says in class and he's a fun professor overall.

The material was so hard for me to get into. Lectures were clear. He is different from most UCSD psych professors because he asks a few questions about the history of psychology that seem to be out of nowhere. I couldn't predict his exams at all, but he is a good lecturer!

Rose is a cool professor, be prepared for a lot of reading though. The casebooks are interesting, but the textbook is very detailed and you have to know all that information thoroughly. He posts powerpoints of his lectures. The tests are fair though challenging so you must review book, lectures, casebook to know it all. Very interesting class!

I really loved him in Abnormal Psyc, but hated him for Psyc 125. It is very difficult, and the final is comprehensive and very picky with the details. Very hard to get an A.

Loved Dr. Rose for abnormal psych, but psych 125 was boring and hard. His tests were really picky and the book was extremely dry. Some stuff is interesting of course but don't take it if you are looking for just another easy psych class.

This was my first neuropsych class, so it was a bit rough, but if I had taken intro to neuropsych first I would have been fine. A B was easy, but I missed an A by a lot -- tests aren't easy. A good class if you're interested in the subject because he has a lot of practical experience and really gives an idea of what it's like to work in the field.

Dr. Rose is a great lecturer. His class is interesting, and fun, BUT NOT AN EASY A!!! His tests can be tricky sometimes, so make sure you think about the questions. He is fair, and offers extra credit. READ THE CASEBOOK! One bad thing is he doesn't round up grades (i.e. I got a B+ with an %89.67) . All and all a good teacher for an interesting sub.

Rose is a funny guy, surfer-laid back attitude. Makes you read the book, if you don't you'll regret it for the midterms. GO TO CLASS- it's interesting and USEFUL. He's really approachable, but STUDY for the tests. He doesn't curve, but offers 20pts e.c w/ experiments or papers. Take the class- JUST TRY

Like the review below, great class but not an easy A. But the lectures are amazing and Rose has a great sense of humor, so take the class anyway =] Make sure you read the books!!

he's a really funny guy. though his test questions are very specific and ask for the smallest details, some answers are actually word-for-word from what he said in class or what is presented in the readings. He incorporates a lot of his experiences into lectures so it's very interesting. I would definitely take him again.

Amazing Prof!! Take him!! he is not only captivating but also hilarious! If u listen in class and read the assigned chapters you will do well. I took this class as an elective as i am not a psyc major and found this class to be a breeze! Wish he taught some of my major classes!!!

Good lectures. Test were somewhat too hard.

He was funny, and the class wasn't exceptionally hard, but it all seemed kind of self-explanatory to me. Really, all the info you need is either on the slides or summarized in the books. Going to class is not at all necessary.

I love Dr. Rose! He is definitely an amazing professor and very knowledgeable in his field of clinical psychology. PSYC 125 is not an easy class but when students ask questions Dr. Rose gives great explanations and makes sure everyone understand the material. His lectures are very engaging. TAKE HIM!! And PSYC 163 is a great class too.

Good professor, can get kind of dry at times. information can easily be found online from his website and in the book. tests are fair.

Prof is nice and lecture is interesting. PSYC 163 is not an easy class though. The midterms and final are hard. Be prepared and read ahead.

He is entertaining and a good prof. I really enjoyed him. His tests are fair but kinda challenging. He is super cool!

You should have no problem getting an A if you thoroughly read the book (which is very dry and long BTW) and memorize his handouts. Casebook is an interesting read. He's a good professor. Visited him during office hours, very friendly and chill guy, always willing to talk about the class, clinical psych, or grad school.

This class is definitely one of the more interesting psych courses, especially if you're into the clinical stuff. The class isn't too hard as long as you do the reading, which takes FOREVER (each chapter took me over 2 hours). He's an awesome guy and very approachable outside class. Would definitely recommend his class.

For those of you who took psyc 163 and think psyc 125 is just like that then you are wrong! Still the same interesting prof. but the materials are dry..You might like it if you are into neuro stuff. The book is extremely dry and boring! First mid-term was tough..! TOUGH!

DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN EASY A! Regardless, it's an interesting class but the material/book is very dry. Midterms and tests were VERY HARD and specific. Mean scores were in 70% range, so grades were curved, but don't count on it. His lecture style is great, very funny, very approachable outside of class and easy to talk to!

Attend his lectures and read the text! His exams were basically what he covered from the lectures. The only bad thing abt this class is that the book is boring! Yet it's very helpful as a supplement of the lectures. This class is def. not as easy as his PSYC 163, but still it's one of the easiest PSYC classes I ever took.

Take him esp if you are interested in clinical psych! Materials he covered were interesting. Not a problem in getting an A if you read the book and go to class. Do the extra credits as well!

I love this man! Professor Rose has all the qualities one looks for in a great professor. Class is over an hour long and is always interesting/ entertaining. So great!

Professor Rose lectures from his slides (which are very useful) and repeats/clarifies almost everything on there so there's no room for confusion. Do the all the readings (text + casebook), go to class, and review his slides -- it's a lot of work, but if all that's done, it's a piece of cake to achieve an A. Plus, the class is very interesting!

Rare combination of easy, fun, and you come out knowing a whole lot. Textbook and casebook were actually fun reads. Professor was fantastic and accessible, I was really impressed by how well he answered in-class questions.

Rose is a wonderful professor, he is very laid back and approachable. This class is great, and the professor is even better! He gives great examples and is willing to answer any questions that you have. Plus he is really funny. The casebook studies are GREAT and very interesting! The exams are super long, try 75 questions. This class is awesome.

Don't hesitate, take him! Great sense of humor and definitely knows his stuff, u will learn a lot even if u r not psyc major. He puts lecture slides on ted but still, go to class cause there will be questions on videos shown in class. Final is 50% cumulative.

GREAT LECTURER! There is no podcasts but just go to lecture, record it, and go to his OH and ask questions. Interesting material. Long tests (75 Q Mid/ 100 Q F), but the actual questions aren't too complex or hard. Take him and have a great time!

cool & easygoing. the kind of class it would be fun to bring a friend to.

Professor Rose is one of the most knowledgeable psychology professors I've ever taken at UCSD. I was always impressed on how well he answered anyone's questions. You need to read for his class; what he tells you in lecture is not enough. His tests are not based solely on lecture, and that's what makes them hard. Don't be lazy, and you're golden!

Rose is humorous, laidback and brings up really interesting stories and examples. The textbook was a super helpful reading supplement. The casebook (get the free pdf version online!) is one of the most interesting texts I've ever read - you NEED to read this bc exams ask specific questions on it. Questions on midterms are repeated in the final.

Dr. Rose is one of my favorite professors at UCSD. He's hilarious and loves to tell a good story that is relevant to course material. The casebook is essential, and the textbook is a little easier to get by without. Do not underestimate him he's a tough grader and you will not get the grade you want if you slack .

It was a delight taking this course with Professor Rose. He really takes the time to explain each concept in a way we can relate so its easier to integrate the knowledge into our memory. He also has a great sense of humor that made lectures more enjoyable and very easy-going/relaxed. Exams are highly-detailed, take notes on the textbook & casebook!

I don't know why other people are saying this class was so difficult. As long as you read the book and attend lecture, you'll get an A. Professor Rose is super cool and easy to understand. 2 midterms, 1 non-cumulative final. No papers. The casebook readings are super interesting, and necessary to read to get an A.

toughest psych course out there. expect to fully read whole textbook and more articles online. lectures are disorganized . exams are based on lecture and the smallest details in the readings. he is helpful if you email or go to office hours. but honestly this course is way too much work , in the end expect anything but an A+.

He's a great guy! I loved his class but it was SO hard. The tests were very specific and the averages were very low. 2 midterms and a final , that's it.

One of the most interesting classes I've ever taken. Must read the book & go to lec to get an A. It's tough, but if you are genuinely interested in neuropsych, you should be good! I actually looked forward to attending lecture. 2 Midterms, 1 Final all multiple choice and 4 hrs worth of SONA extra credit.

Yes, compared to other psych classes, this class is hard. But if you go to all the lectures, and read all the assignments, you should do well. Professor Rose is a really cool guy, always accessible if you have questions and I found his lectures to be really straightforward. I would recommend this class

As others have said the exams are tough. But as long as you read all the casebooks & additional readings IN DETAIL and pay attention in class, you'll be fine. Make sure to review your midterms because the cumulative questions on the final are similar. It was my first semester at UCSD (transfer student) and I still got an A so you can do it too

Fred makes lecture fun and interactive. However, the tests are pretty tough. Reviewing lecture slides would only get you a pass, there are additional readings (articles) and textbook and casebook questions. If you're a reader, it should be quite straightforward to you. If you're not, you'll be overwhelmed by an enormous amount of readings.

Lectures are super interesting and he always gives fun stories as examples to what we're covering in class. He seems like a really cool guy. However, beware of the midterms and final! He seems easy-going, but the tests are difficult. I'm a psyc major and I thought I knew what I was doing until I almost failed one of the midterms.

Fred is awesome! He got rid of the textbook so the class didn't have homework besides usual studying. Lecture is mandatory to pass but he liked to involve the class by demonstrating some of the neuropsych evals on students so it wasn't boring. Tests had a few tricky Qs but fair overall. In general a cool, funny guy, take his class!

The class is very dense, but he likes to cover it piece by piece and likes to ask for examples that will help you remember the information. His test are pretty difficult and you need to do the textbook readings and casebook studies in order to do well on the tests. Be ready for a lot of (interesting) reading.

Many people say PSYC 100, or other classes by Dr. Rose are too difficult. The people who say this are probably doing the bare minimum. Dr. Rose has really fun lectures, and he's easily accessible in office hours. His tests are absolutely fair if you take time to actually read the book. Don't take this class if you can't commit the time to read!

Professor Rose is a really good guy, he's well mannered and can hold my attention in lecture. He's very thorough and knows how to explain concepts in class as well. Just beware though, Midterms and the Final are pretty tough, they're all based on readings so in that case get started and don't slack on the casebooks and textbook readings.

His class is graded only on 2 midterms & the final, but offers extra credit (4 hrs of SONA for 12 pts) that helps ur grade if ur right on the cusp. Hes really clear in lecture & open to questions/clarifications. My only con is he doesnt podcast, so paying attention & going to lecture is crucial & u have to ask someone for notes if ur out sick.

Dr. Rose is a great lecturer, I wish he taught more classes at UCSD. He is very enthusiastic about the material. I wish he podcasted because there's a lot of material. For EC via SONA, you can end up adding 12 points to your overall score. Also, with this class, there's a good amount of overlap with Psych 105, 106, and 108.

Hes a good professor and real funny in class. His tests are pretty specific and kinda annoying so PLS READ (you do need both textbooks btw). You do need to attend lecture but you can miss some and be fine bc its all in the books. As a lazy person I did really hVe to put in work. Do the extra credit, I cannot stress this enough

To keep it short: Studying the textbook + going to lecture is how I passed. The textbooks have short quizzes at the end of each chapter which are helpful. He's not big on memorizing numbers so as long as you understand the concepts and quiz yourself you'll be fine. He's very engaging during lecture. (took him for psyc 100 and 125)

I read and took notes for every ch he assigned but its honestly too much textbook reading. 2 mid, 1 final (final is easier than mid imo). Very engaging lectures but just relying on slides wont help you that much. Make sure you read!

Going to lecture and reading the textbook/casebook is highly recommended to do well. Lectures are funny and entertaining with stories

Dr. Rose is a very charismatic professor, great sense of humor, and always entertains the class with interesting stories. Very knowledgeable and caring about students' learning. With that said, the class had an insane amount of reading and it was hard to keep up with it at times, but overall, Dr. Rose is one of my favorite professors at UCSD.

Professor Rose is great! He is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about his students. There is a lot of reading to do for this course but the material is very interesting which makes it manageable. Grade was based on 3 multiple choice exams and plenty of extra credit was offered!

i thought he was intimidating at first but he's actually very reasonable and I learned a lot in his class. your whole grade is just 3 multiple choice exams which was intimidating for me but others may prefer that. the questions were fair, nothing too out there. I enjoyed reading the casebook

Professor Rose was a great lecturer that really cares about his students. When I was confused in certain disorders or other concepts, he set aside extra time in his OH to clear up any misconceptions and confusions I had. As many have said, YOU NEED TO READ FOR CLASS! His tests were based solely on txtbk and casebk readings. Do EC for grade boost!!!

His lecture is organized and provides clear explanations. Midterm and final; you have to be ready of course. . but unlike other classes that just mess up your mind with very limited time frame, his quizzes are given with generous time so it actually helps to practice test and knowledge.

Dr. Rose is a real gem. BUT you gotta read a LOT like 40-60 pages weekly between the textbook and casebook, which are very interesting but ain't fun when you are taking other classes. Take home message: Read in advance (don't wait til Friday), do all the EC in the first weeks (you'll need it), and don't underestimate the midterms (time is limited).

Dr. Rose was my favorite professor this quarter. His lectures were informative, concise, and very interesting to listen to. He answers all questions to the best of his ability and is clear on his expectations. Plan on reading the books because they were super helpful. Exams were not difficult if you listened to lecture and read. No curveballs.

The entire course is 2 midterms and 1 final, all of which are based directly from the slides. Yes, he talks a lot, but he's really passionate about the topics and clearly enjoys talking about it, so you'll definitely learn. If you do decent notes (synchronous or just watching lecture recordings) you can use them on the test and you'll do great

Tests are based more on reading than lectures. Need to read along with the lecture. Open book tests in 2022. Very friendly and funny. Understood the material very well and was a lecture-only professor so wasn't more focused on research or anything. Hard final because it was a lot of material, especially if it wasn't open book/note. Good lecturehall

Very good prof, and makes stats easier than it would have been otherwise. Will not accept any late work, and assigns a lot of homework. Tests were fair and noncumulative. Lectures can be really dry, but that's partially due to him making sure that everyone understands the material.

One of the best profs I have had! He is so funny and genuinely cares about students and the material. There is quite a bit of reading and "busy work", but they are actually pretty helpful. Beware, though. There are three midterms and one final (the final is non-cumulative).

Prof. Rose shows genuine care for his students. Statistics can be difficult but he makes sure to clearly explain the concepts. As long as you do everything he asks of you, you can learn a lot!

Professor Rose is an amazing teacher and explains things very well. The class was hard but only because it requires a lot of time and understanding of the topics. The exams were in person and basically all we were graded on (besides SONA) so you have to study and really understand it. Going to lecture is very useful

Rose is great! He keeps the mood light with jokes and stuff which is really refreshing. Content is very straightforward and lectures cover exactly what will be on the test. I found the class to be fairly easy, but would still recommend taking the time to study for a few hours. 3 exams overall.

one of my favorite professors, fair tests if you study, just lectures and non cumulative midterms

Rose was always willing to answer any questions during office hours & was very engaging in class. This class has an insane amount of reading though like 80-100 pgs each week. Easy for exams to mess up your grade if you do slightly bad so you need to make sure you study. Would only recommend Rose for this class if you love psyc & have time to study.

Great professor and he is passionate about teaching this subject. Engaging lectures and is very kind. Covers a lot of material so get ready to read and memorize. Provides extra credit for SONA & writing reviews of research papers. Midterms were 75 questions and final was 100 questions. Weekly 10 question reading quizzes on the chapter

He really tries to help students! I felt that exam questions were fair, and office hours were helpful. Neuroscience is hard in itself, but hard work will pay off in his class. He even had a policy where you'd get points back on the previous exam if the class average improved on the next exam.

Grade is just 2 midterms and a final, with no podcasts in lecture, so must go to lecture, which is the ONLY downside. Exams are fair & representative of the content. The lectures are a bit boring, but in all fairness to Dr. Rose the content doesn't lend itself very well. No HW for this class, and overall pretty good structure and testing.

Dr. Rose is GREAT! I would recommend his class if you are at all interested in the clinical aspects of neuroscience/ psychology. Your grade consists of only 2 midterms and the final, but lectures were always super interesting. Attendance isn't technically mandatory, but he doesn't podcast so you might struggle a little more if you don't go

Professor Rose is amazing! Probably the most engaging and caring professor in ucsd. I failed stats before but now I understand a lot better because of him. A lot of reading and homeworks but they are all very helpful. Be careful since class is not podcasted and class is heavily exam-based.

He is the best stats prof that I had so far. I am retaking the course(not the same prof) cuz I failed it once in my freshman year. Very approachable and great lecturer. Just get ready for a heavy load of homework. Useful course

Great lecturer and a great guy. Grading is based only on exams but the exams are more than fair.

Gives a lot of homework and is not flexible at all when it comes to late stuff. If you are on top of your work this should not be a problem. If you complete your assignments and stay on top of studying, you will receive a passing grade. I do wish he was more flexible and understanding however

really nice and funny guy. his lectures were interesting. the first half of the class is more basic and then gets more technical and applications based. kinda a lot of memorization of structures and disorders needed to know for the exams. attendance isnt required but he doesnt podcast and says a lot of things you need to know

A lot of your grade is based on the 4 exams given during the quarter which can spell trouble when you are beginning to feel overwhelmed. The lectures at times have some humor in them. I do recommend going to lecture all the time due to hints for quizzes. There are a lot of tricks in his tests to throw you off. I do wish he was understanding.

This was my second time taking PSYC 60 since I failed it the fir

10/10 professor! I took stats in high school and was dreading re-living the same experiences as a college student but this professor is incredibly knowledgeable and it shows in his lectures. His grading system is clear and his lectures are entertaining. Not to mention the amazing TA's, overall great team and super supportive.

Awesome statistics professor! I was nervous about taking statistics in college, but his lectures broke down the difficult concepts well. Your grade is mostly off of four exams, so I'd say study a lot. The homework is a bit time-consuming but his email response times are phenomenal. 100% would take again.

Was a very nice and funny professor that really cared for students. Homework assignment were all though the book and were very straightforward. Midterms and exams are not cumulative and they are all multiple choice. Lectures weren't mandatory but I would recommend attending. Discussion was also not mandatory. Would definitely take again.

If you're scared to take Statistics, PLEASE do yourself a favor and take this class with Dr. Rose! I tried taking Stats with a different prof first, but I dropped the class because the class avg. on the first midterm was a 60%. Taking this class with Rose instead SAVED me. Clear, enthusiastic professor. No podcasted lectures; just go to class.

Prof Rose was the highlight of the week and made stats thoroughly enjoyable. He made everything very clear and taught stats much better than i expected

Not as hard as I thought it would be. exam questions are very broad and not as specific as he details in lecture, so don't overthink it. Goes over a lot of topics covered in AP psychology so if you took that class in HS it won't be too hard. Only read chapter summaries and studied with vocab quizlets and got a B+ on midterms.

Professor Rose does a great job at making statistics less intimidating but this class is not an easy A. Lecture helps break down concepts that are in the textbook/homework. Grade is mainly based on 3 midterms and a final - but it is not cumulative (only on the last 2 chapters of the textbook). He seemed like a nice guy... Hope this helps!

I was terrified for this class by looking at past reviews for his Psyc 2 class. Class is basically exam grades but a few other things that helps balance out grades. Exams they're mcq and aren't that bad. Lecture and textbook heavy! Professor cares and will help clarify anything. I got a B and believe I could've done better. Don't be scared!

His lectures are pretty fun and engaging. The class starts off with the content very quickly it can feel a bit overwhelming and the stats software can be confusing but overall this class was fairly easy. As long as you understand the concepts well you'll do good. Just stay on top of the homework.

I had no experience in statistics but prof rose made it very easy. Lectures were organized slides that were also posted on his canvas. Lectures aren't mandatory but if you do go he'll sometimes give answers to some questions on the tests. The tests are very straightforward if you take notes on his lectures, do the study guides, or just memorize.

He was honestly a great professor and super funny. If you just do the readings and go to class you should understand everything. Prof. Rose is always there to answer questions and likes participation. He also puts out review sessions before the midterms which are super helpful. Overall great class.

I would take Dr. Rose for every psyc class if I could. His lectures are super engaging and he's very funny. He doesn't record his lectures, but his exams are very fair and representative of what he emphasizes in class. He will never ask you to memorize random, super specific things. Graded on 3 exams total, final is cumulative. He's awesome!

Ive taken Rose twice, for stats and now Psyc 125, and he is by far one of my favorite professors. Although the lectures are heavy with difficult content and he does not record podcasts, he truly goes above and beyond to accommodate the time presented. He makes lectures entertaining, and no one can deny that he is amazing at responding to emails

I had no prior experience in stats and was scared to take it after I had previously dropped it during my first quarter because the professor was not good. I heard good things about professor Rose, he did not disappoint. He makes the content clear and he responds to emails quickly. The content is good, I actually started enjoying stats...

Amazing and passionate prof! I can see how this course is difficult if it's your first neuro-based course, if you've taken a couple the information won't be as hard to process. Lecture not required but no podcast, but attending is fun and so worth it! Do not take the course if you don't plan on attending - you will definitely regret it.

This class is pretty work heavy but its manageable imo. Prof Rose is super nice and easygoing, def super passionate about teaching. Discussions are optional and lectures are not mandatory. 3 midterms is annoying but they're all pretty easy if you study. Just start the hw early and read the textbook.

Attendance is very lenient and not all necessary, most of the class information is on canvas. Tests are all multiple choice and not cumulative, very doable. would recommend.

As someone who hates math and has found it is not my strength, I actually enjoyed this class. Lectures/discussions weren't mandatory but going to class to learn helped me succeed in this class! Prof Rose was great at responding to emails and made the stats content extremely clear. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

He is an excellent professor. Attendance isn't mandatory, but it's recommended since he asks questions from lectures in exams. Lectures are engaging. He answers all your questions during class or gets back to you via email. The course involves a significant amount of reading; however, all tests, including the final, are MCQs.

Grades are only exams, two midterms and the final, reading quizzes, and SONA participation. He was very strict about curving but my class did so bad that he made a deal that if we do better on midterm 2 he'll curve the first one. I thought the midterm was very fair but I did do all the chapter readings and took notes on them too.

Professor Rose is amazing at lecturing; even without an attendance requirement, most people would still come to his lecture because he is a funny guy. He covered most of the content in he's lecture, but still suggested reading the textbook since there are small details. Weekly online quizzes with two attempts, easy grade, and great practice.

He is a very engaging and funny teacher. I would highly recommend taking his classes if you have a learning disability as he tends to cover the broad theme of the topics without getting too lost in the details. Just keep up with the readings because he does do exam questions on them!!

Love this man he's so pure. Definitely makes challenging exams with no study guides, BUT his lectures are fun and engaging and very passionate for his work. So sweet

Good lectures, kinda long. Exams are all multiple choice but he doesn't give practice questions/exams. Online chapter quizzes are open book and untimed. You have to read the chapter from the textbook even if he doesn't go over some things in lecture because he'll still test you on it, lectures aren't mandatory but stuff from them will be on exam.

Love this guy, I've been keeping an eye out for other classes taught by him that I can take in the future. He's really funny and charismatic, also generally just a friendly guy. He doesn't give study guides or practice, but so long as you keep up with the readings you will be more than okay. Lectures aren't mandatory but I still come for fun.

Dr. Rose is genuinely a great professor and passionate about psychology. Recent reviews categorize him for strict grading but exclude the fact that he curved a midterm for those who showed improvement. He doesn't provide a study guide, but our open-note quizzes and lectures are all based on the textbook-- it is clearly the most important resource.

He is GREAT love his lectures you can tell he loves what he is teaching and he is hilarious. Now. I had a super hard time with reading, I'm more of an auditory learner, and I do need to relisten to lectures and he won't provide that because he doesn't record. That's just me though, you HAVE to read the test you'll be more than fine. Tough grader

Fred Rose is a fun, engaging professor. The course is a little challenging due to heavy brain anatomy and terminology, so get ready to memorize a lot, and many test questions come from the textbook rather than lectures. Attendance isn't required, but some test questions come from things he says in class, which aren't on lecture slides.

Professor Rose is truly amazing. I loved his lectures, they were always so interesting and I felt like I took away so much from this class. Just be aware that it is VERY reading-heavy and both concept and test heavy. Staying on top of the readings, taking solid notes, and listening in lecture are definitely the way to do well!

The midterms and final are not bad if you just do the required reading from the textbook and attend lectures. He doesn't provide study guidance at all but I just studied the end of module reviews in the books and highlighted terms/concepts and got As on all of the exams. No curve or extra credit available.

He is a very engaging and fun professor who you can tell is very passionate about what he's teaching! He makes it clear from the start and pretty much throughout the quarter that he does not curve/round and does not record lectures. He doesn't have any study guides, but exams are pretty reflective of the things he covered in class and the reading.

Is this a difficult class? YES. A lot of reading? YES. Does he make it interesting and fun? YES. He answers all your questions. Attending his lectures helps understanding the content and highlights key parts of the chapter. Some exam questions are based solely on lecture, not the textbook. There are 2 midterms and a final, all MCQs.
