Dr. Weisfeld is absolutely refreshing.He doesn't baby his students & refuses to worry about "offending" people. He's intresting and teaches from a perspective most students are not used to. His tests aren't impossible to pass and he curves them, so if you fail then drop out because you're an idiot.

He is an excellent professor for those interested in evolution. He is willing to work with you outside of class and will even send you the syllabus beforehand. Excellent, insightful lectures that make attending class worthwhile. He does not spoon feed you; he is a true college prof.

True college professor. Attending lectures is only helpful for about 5% of the tests. READ your book, that's where the tests come from. Worst professor I've ever had. Only had 3 tests, if you bomb one you have no way of raising your grade. Take this with someone else, he sucks.

he does curve tests, the last person who rated him must just be stupid.

I wanted to answer the previous comment. Dr. Weisfeld is the advisor for my senior thesis, and has been extremely helpful. He's very approachable and is a great resource to any student who seeks him out. He's an evolutionary psychologist--if you have any interest in that area of psychology, I'd definitely recommend him.

He is brutal with his rules.You cannot be late not even a minute, youll be marked absent. No bathroom breaks if you leave within those 2 hours you are marked absent. The tests are somewhat hard and its an interesting class. HE IS VERY FAIR WITH THE GRADING SCALE. Otherwise he is brutal!!!

I enjoyed this class. He is a little dull with the tone he uses in lecture, but he is a really nice and helpful professor. I learned alot in his class and he curves, so the grading scale was fair. Just make sure to attend each lecture and read the book because notes from lecture and the book are on the exam. I would recommend his class.

Great professor, he is what higher education is all about. He does teach from an evolutionary standpoint which is great! His credentials are stellar as well as his knowledge on psychology and evolution. He takes attendance and if your absent you will fail, he tests mostly from his notes and the book. We need more profs. like him.

I've read others reviews on here, I can only say that if your bitter about your grade then you must not take college seriously. Yes he's hard and critical, but it's psychology and it's important to know your stuff. If you can't remember evolutionary theories and think abstractly, then I don't want you anywhere near my brain! Good prof,lazy students

I signed up for human development and he teaches evolutionary development. Although much of the subject matter is common sense, but it's boring. He dragged on about his extreme left politic views. Tests were fine as long as you study lecture notes AND the book because they're comepletely different. Take someone else for human development.

Wonderful. Paying attention is key and you have to study A LOT but you get a lot out of the class. He is very smart.

Great professor!!! Yes, he's a little dry but this was a dry subject unless you had an interest in it. This professor was straight foward with his lectures. The test were a little tricky but if you studied the NOTES AND THE BOOK you will come out on the good side of his curve... Seeing that most people only read one or other. I got an A. STUDY BOT

My only complaint about this class was that it had nothing to do with psychology. Tests are from both lectures and the book, so take a lot of notes in lecture. Tests can be tricky because questions for example, d. both a and b, e. all of the above. He's a very smart man who knows a lot about the material he teaches. I would recommend him.

He gives many examples during lecture, but many think this guy is mean or boring. I think this professor is a genius when it comes to psychology, he really knows his stuff. Just read the book and work hard and you'll be fine.

EASY A! three multiple choice tests, no papers!!! Grades on an insane curve, you can get 1/2 the questions wrong and still pass!!!  Tells you EVERYTHING you need to know in lecture so no point in reading, if you just go to lecture and listen will get an A!

The class was very easy. I studied on the mornings before the exams and am still pulling an A. He is very boring, he drones on for lecture. He makes "scientific" claims, but rarely backs them up with any type of credible research. Much of the class is based on his opinions. Exams are based on lectures. The book was useless.

Great teaching ability, loved his lectures.

He was a very good professor. His lectures are a must, but he doesn't just read from a linear presentation he actually stands up and gives you a reason to come to class.

tests are VERY hard, but i somehow got A's on them because he gives a big curve and i studied a lot. You MUST read the book, because some stuff is on the test that he doesnt cover in class, and you have to show up because lecture info is not always in the book. he rarely smiles and likes to point out flaws whenever someone comments in class.

Huge evolutionist.Almost every example given was related somehow to evolution, however, still respectful of others views.Doesn't use technology so mandatory to go to class.Time drags so gotta force yourself to focus. Gives huge curve and actually cares about your grade. Awesome vocab.Offered to write me a LOR for getting an A in his course.Nice guy

Must ATTEND CLASS and READ TEXTBOOK. Half of the test questions are from his lectures not found in the book, and other half from textbook that are not covered in lectures. Class was easy, because he gives Huge Curve. Lectures can be boring, because his voice and no visual presentations.

Difficult teacher, read the book pay attention in lecture and absorb the material or you will not do well

Weisfeld is not that bad! Yes, you have to read the textbook, go to class, and take notes. If you aren't prepared to do that, seriously, why are you in college? Very knowledgeable, grade is curved, and if you talk to him you'll find that he's actually a nice guy.

By far the most intelligent professor I have EVER had. He knows his stuff and is constantly doing research. If you ask a question in class and he doesn't know the answer he will find it. Yes you have to read and attend class, but if you do the work you will get a good grade. He even throws in the occasional joke. I liked him a lot!

One of the best professors at WSU! He’s lectures are absolutely great. He always invites the students to ask questions, he is open for a dialog, so if you’re interested in developmental psychology, this is definitely the class you need to choose. I wish WSU had more professors like this. Go to class, take good notes, and you'll get an A or a B.

Dr. Weisfeld is by far the most intelligent person I have ever met. He knows his stuff. If you actually go to class and pay attention, you will find that he is very interesting. He has his views and he stands by them which is something worth respecting. I highly recommend.

Wish I could stay awake long enough to give him an accurate rating. He is extremely intelligent, by far most knowledgeable professor. His class however is the driest hour & a half of my college career. If u are a teach yourself out the book student he is perfect. 3 tests make up ur grade. No hw or papers. Make sure u go to class & take notes!

One of the best classes I took at WSU. Not an easy class, but Dr. Weisfeld makes it extremely interesting, in spite of him being pretty monotone at times. Highly recommend taking this class with Dr. Weisfeld as you will learn a lot of valuable life-time information.

Dr. Weisfeld is absolutely brilliant. His lectures are a bit dry but his illumination of the subject matter more than compensated. Admittedly I am a self motivated learner and dislike PowerPoint, so his traditional lecture style was appealing to me. Recommended if you are interested in LEARNING something and not just getting a grade.

Dr. Weisfeld is a great professor. He's the most intelligent and knowlegeable prof I have EVER had. Well-prepared, insightful lectures. He is a true college prof, and teaches from a perspective most students aren't used to. His tests aren't hard to pass and he grades on a curve. I'm looking forward to taking more of his courses.

Okay, so he does use PowerPoint or post notes on Blackboard incase you miss a day, hes oldschool and makes sure that if you don't attend class, you will get screwed on the exams. He is extremely intelligent and will go to any length to help you as long as you ask him. He's actually really nice not as mean as others are saying.

I took his Developmental Psych and honestly attended 5 classes max and still got an A. The lectures were long so I wasn't able to sit through them...his class seems to me more focused on the biological aspect of human development, which is much more interesting than the usual psych mumbo jumbo. Nice teacher, only 3 tests, I reccomend!

Even though I love psychology, he managed to make it pretty dry. However, he grades his tests on a huge curve and it's super easy to get an A. Most of his questions come from his lectures in class so come to class and take good notes! Don't take this class if you're not self motivated.

Overall, pretty good professor. Very old fashioned. Grades on a curve. Tests arnt too bad. If you do the homework and go to lectures you will get an A

Professor Weisfeld is the smartest professor i have ever had the chance to work with. However he does not use any presentstion aids during his lectures. He stands in front of the class and just talks. Tests are 50% lecture and 50% from the book. Go to class, take good notes, and read a chapter each week. With hard work i got an A!!

If you like psychology, this class is interesting but otherwise it can be dry. No presentation aids or hand outs, just him at a podium lecturing and he never really tells you exactly what to study for the test - just everything he's lectured on. Tests are easy though and he grades on a huge curve. Easy class for a packed semester.

Professor Weisfeld is absolutely intelligent! I liked this class! There are 3 exams & the 3rd exam is the final which isn't cumulative. He writes a basic outline on the board about what he's going to lecture & the exams are exactly like the lectures, handouts & book. No hw, just 3 exams! He's open to questions & help if you ask! Highly recommend!

Professor Weisfeld uses no PowerPoint presentations, blackboard, etc. It's hard to focus in his class because he just talks the entire hour. He can be very boring at times too. If you go to class and study from the book it should be an easy class. There are only 3 exams.

3 exams total. Doesn't use electronics except Email. He's very knowledgeable about the material and makes it interesting. He's old school w/lecturing. Read what's assigned and you'll be fine. He gives a huge curve at the end. I'd take him again!

Dr. Weisfeld is a great instructor. His lectures do come off as long and boring, however if you read the book and pay attention, the class shouldn't be too difficult. He only had 3 exams and does end up giving a huge curve. I'd take him again.

The content of psy2400 was very interesting, but they way Dr. Weisfeld taught it was boring. However, it's easy to get an A. His curve is very generous. To give you an idea, on the 1st exam, grades from 39-50 (out of 50) received an A. Make notecards based on assigned readings and take good notes in class. That's all it takes to get an A.

Class is graded out of 150 points (3 exams). These exams are multiple choice and not cumulative. 50% of exam is from assigned readings; 50% is from lecture. You cannot skip the readings or class and expect to do well. Dr. Weisfeld is clear in his explanations while lecturing, but he is boring so it is a bit of a struggle to pay attention.

Competent. His curves made it an easy A. The only coursework is learning the material.

Dr. Weisfeld is respectably well-educated in the field of psychology. He lectures old-school by writing an outline on the board. Easy to follow along with. Class is 1/2 lecture and 1/2 textbook. Very personable. Exams are fair and he gives a generous curve.

He is one of the smartest instructors I have had at Wayne. He is well informed on the subject and really loves evolution. It is all tests, no homework, and showing up to lectures and taking notes is necessary. Tests are based off a lot of the notes but still read the chapters and take note of darkened words.

Great professor! Lectures were very interesting. Grades on a huge curve which is good. Grading based on 3 tests nothing else. Test questions can be confusing and tricky but once you get used to his style you'll do fine. Attending class is a must! No power points or study guides provided, good note taking also important as all he does is talk.

SHOW UP TO CLASS!! This class will be an easy A if you ready the assigned chapters and attend class. If you can't make class for any reason, borrow notes from someone. Class had 3 exams total. If you study your lecture notes and read the assigned chapters then you will end up with an A. Most of the material was common sense too so don't stress!

As long as you show up to class and study your slides you will pass. He tries to make the lectures very interesting. I really enjoyed his class. The book is not necessary all of his exams are based on his slides.

I enjoyed his lectures and teaching style. He bases the exams off the reading and his lecture material, if you want a good grade attendance is necessary so is the reading.
