Dickinson is a horrible professor! There's way too much work and he doesn't care about his students at all. If you want to take forensic psyc, take Professor Indelicato instead- he cares about his students and is really funny, plus he's a hottie!

Really interesting and amusing. He's really young for a professor so he still understands what it's like to be a student. He's fair and tells you what you need to know. He tries to make the best out of big seminar classes too, and doesn't have an attendance policy. Take him. Sooooo cute!

He does his lectures with power point presentations which I think is great because while he talking to you, you do not miss out on any notes. He's cool, and he expects you to keep up with the lectures if you are absent. He is also extremely nice to look at.

This is an easy class. LOTS of notes (better to bring a laptop if you type fast). 3 tests, 3 quiz, all multiple choice mostly from the huge amount of notes but there are also very long boring readings. If you miss class better pray someone will email the notes to you. Overall class is interesting and easy, Dickinson seems like a pretty cool guy.
