Great guy, his enthusiasm makes class interesting.
By far the funniest prof I've had. Haha, he got someone in the class to say they smoked weed the night before.
Certainly one of the best profs at queens. Course was interesting and fun. There was lots to remember
He's an awesome teacher, wish he taught more of the classes I took. He's soo funny and makes the class interesting.
I am in love with Hans Dringenberg. Plain and simple. I would have attended every section of his lectures. He is the greatest prof I have ever had at Queens and frankly, I'm disappointed that he's married.
One enthusiastic prof. makes class fun and you definatley wont fall asleep when he's teaching
Sooo cool! Makes psych as interesting as can be. Such a quirky guy! Yay for prof. Dringenberg!
he's so cute (personality wise, not appearance) hahaha.. hopping up + dn trying to point to something on overhead... when students ask questions, he go to them, ask them "how are you?" then give them mic.. and always there afterclass to answ
Great guy! Makes brain biology about as easy as it can get, and interesting to! Awesome prof!
Excellent prof. Had him for 271 some time ago. He was really good
HANS IS THE BEST!!! What can I say? There is no way I could possibly fall asleep with an accent like that! Oh Hans, teach me about the cerebral cortex ANYDAY! lol
He's a truly awesome prof
Best prof. Ive ever had. Soo funny and he makes you want to elarn about whatever hes teaching. Very enthusiastic
Hans is the man
Among all the Psychology profs that I've had at Queen's...Hans is the best one. He really cares about the students and explains everything so well. If you work hard, you will get a good mark.
He's the cutest ever! His accent is adorable!
I love you Hans!
very good prof.
all i can say is one the best out there. love going to class when he taught!
hans was the only prof worth showing up for
Greatest prof. So fun to listen to and explains material well.
One of the top professors of the psychology department at Queen's. Interesting guy. Makes PSYC interesting and fun
Enthusiastic and fum, not the clearest teacher but his personality makes up 4 it!!
Hans is the best. I love the way he works with the students to make the class more fun. Sure his accent is at times hard to understand but he's funny as hell!!!
Wonderful
Hans is the best PSYCH 100 prof out there. With his sense of humour and excellent teaching abilities he keeps students attentions and they actually get something from the course!
Outstanding prof. Very clear at explaining stuff and makes lectures interesting to attend. One of the best profs I've had so far.
Brilliant! He made psyc 100 a blast, he has a great sense of humour, and has the ability to explain complicated processes in very clear, easy to understand terms. He's easy to talk to and makes the time fly.
funny guy but his exams were not challenging whatsoever, except when he tested on things he told us we were not responsible for
Hans was awesome. Great prof for PSYC 100. Did people know that his name appears on the MacLean's magazine university rankings, as one of the "most popular profs" at Queen's?

Hans was a good prof. He kept my interest in psyc 100 when I was ready to drop it.
He's a great prof
He's SO hot...I'm so in love with him...And it's been 4 years since I took his course.
Awww I loved him... he explained things sooo well, and was always patient with questions and willing to take the time to clarify!
this man is awesome.
funniest human possible
I love you Hans!
Coolest guy ever.
Hans is awesome. Likely one of the better first year profs:).
Hans is amazing!
Hans is amazing! Definitely one of the best first year profs...he makes psych interesting and actually makes you want to attend lectures! He should be the permanent psych prof none of this switching stuff!
Hans is amazing! He's really pssionate about psychology and he loves to teach. You can tell he really enjoys being in the classroom. Whenever soemone has a wuestion, he gets really excited and runs up the aisle with his microphone. I just can't say enough good things about Hans.
COOOL.
Awesome prof! So enthusiastic about what he's saying and a lot of fun to listen to as well. He loves answering questions and he makes everything really interesting :)
Hans rocks my world...he is so in love with psyc its incredible..oh the excitement when there is a question in the room, lol
What is the big deal over Dringenberg? I like a good laugh too, but when you learn nothing and look at slides of 2 rhinos ****ing in a class, the whole thing goes from amusing to absurd. TOUGH exam and midterm questions!
Hans did such a great job teaching this course, and all of his lectures were very interesting. I especially appreciated the timbits at every student presentation!
"Am I on acid?" No, probably not, but despite those odd moments, Hans made neuroscience - if not completely accessible - at least completely appealing to a completely arts student. Good show, despite that****acular exam diagram.
Dr. Dringenberg brought a different dimension to the PSYC 100 class. He employed some absurb examples to convey his points, but he kept us all on the edge of our seats. He tried to relate a very complex topic such as neuroscience to an elementary level audience, and in doing so, he suceeded; it was the grading that was at a disproportionate level.
Excellent prof. You can really see that he is extremely interested in what he discusses - a credit to the module system of PSYC100. Very funny and generally effective.
great
He basically made me love neuroscience.
Funny funny guy, but I dunno...when on Hallowe'en he dressed up as Dracula, he was distracted for a good ten minutes in front of the overhead projector, screaming something about the castle of darkness. Kind of makes ya wonder...
Hans is so awesome! I *heart* hans! He is an amazing prof! the lectures are hilarious, and he explains difficult concepts well. The accent is so cute!
Hans has been one of my favourite profs so far in university. He's so happy and adorable, and the fact that he dressed up for Halloween just made my day.
A really great prof. If you have a science background his material is pretty easy. His exam is fair. In psyc 100 if you know the material including DETAILS you will do really well.
Spectacular prof, very approachable and eager to discuss ideas in class or out of it. Flexible with respect to any issues that might arise. Good sense of humour, and a genuine interest in his field of research/teaching. Plus he's superhot. Yumyum...
hans was an amazing prof in psyc 100! he was excited and interesting and hilarious! he did a great job
made really funny sexual comments
Best Psyc teacher ever! Hilarious, made lectures interesting!
Absolutely hilarious prof. Dressed up as dracula and taught the class like that for Halloween. He presented lecture material clearly, and was easy to focus on. Lecture was actually really interesting.
AMAZING PROFS CANT GET ANY BETTER. MAKES THINGS CRYSTAL CLEAR
He's the best prof!!!
he makes neurons sexy
Such a funny guy. Love the accent!
My favourite psyc 100 prof. He was so enthusiastic and hilarious, I definitely looked forward to going to his classes. I learned a lot because he was good at explaining things. Really nice guy.
Hans was great!
Hans was the best! crystal clear explanations, good notes, and hilarious. you will love going to his class, and his exam questions are fair.
Hans was an amazing professor. His course on sleep was extremely interesting and manageable. It is very easy to do well in if you put in the work (the material involves understanding it - not just common knowledge). One of the best courses I've taken at Queen's. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you won't want to miss them.
Brain and behaviour online was hard, but the lectures were incredible, and you could tell that he really cares about his students. Always made the content enjoyable!
I would not recommend taking PSYC271 unless necessary, as the material is quite heavy and difficult, however, very interesting (some of the studies were so cool to learn about). Professor Dringenberg is truly passionate about this topic and made the class more fun. He does care for his students and has been very understanding during these times.
Be attentional to the final exam. The requirements are not very clear and trust me you will lose a lot of marks on that. it will change your grade from a- to b, and you may feel unbelievable when most other students get a+ or a in this course.
The assignments in this class are one of a kind and very fun. The TAs grade very fairly and the bi-weekly quizzes are not too difficult. The final exam was a bit long but Professor Dringenberg directs you in the right direction and explains the best way to prepare. Overall this is one of the best classes I have taken.
Interesting course with engaging assignments. Attend lectures and use Unstuck study for study prep - saved me some time. Exams can be tricky, but Prof Dringenberg guides you well. Overall, a rewarding class.
Honestly, a really sweet and softspoken man. Brain and behaviour isn't my favourite as a psych major, but I did better in this course than I thought I would, so I was pleasantly surprised. He gives clear grading criteria and so long as you're keeping up with readings and consulting the rubric, you'll do fine.
