He tries too hard to be funny, it was ok for the first couple of days but it started to get annoying. He uses PowerPoint presentation in his lectures, which I think prevents people from paying attention to what he's saying, since they only copy the stuff from the screen.

Webster is a good instructor and it's clear that he likes teaching. His jokes don't always go over, but that's probably owing to the prevailing youth of the class.

By far my favourite teacher at Langara. I have had him for 1115, 1215, and 2320. He's hilarious. He makes every concept so much fun to learn and is extremely helpful with any problems you have. Tests are usually most, if not all, multiple choice. If you know your stuff you'll do well. Take his class!

Jeff is a fantastic professor! His class has a structured pacing, you know exactly what to expect. 4, 60-question multiple choice tests for the semester and a few little assignments. Read the text properly and pay attention in class and you'll do great. He's really funny and very helpful too. I'll definitely take another one of his classes.

Jeff is a good professor. I sort of feel as though he moves a bit too fast sometimes, but always tries to slow down and explain concepts that you may be lost on.

Jeff is a great professor, I really enjoyed his class. Lots of note taking (no printouts). Good examples given in class, makes things clear. His exams are straight from the practice exams that the Psych lab gives out, do them and read every word of the assigned chapters. Exams aren't cumulative and all multiple choice. He's funny if you're older.

Jeff is funny, a great speaker, and interesting, but gives incredibly hard exams. I studied for hours and hours and poured everything I had into those exams and ended up doing quite poorly.

Jeff's lecture notes and humor can be painfully dated at times. Someone called it dad-humor, but it's getting to be grandad-humor. I liked his in-class exercises which provided good hands-on examples of the concepts being taught. He's most interesting to listen to when he talks about his own research. Tests are mainly MC (MUST read textbk)

Total "Dad" sense of humour, but that broke up some of the dry course material and made me laugh a few times. IMO, easy to follow lectures. Make sure you do the readings.

Took this class as a GPA boaster.. bad idea. There are 3 midterms and a final two chapters each. You would think that his isn't bad but his lecture notes are scattered and not complete so you need to read, learn and study the chapters by yourself to pass the tests. Tests are straight from the textbook and include 3-4 qs on in class videos.

Jeff has the best dad jokes of any professor I've ever had. He doesn't take himself too seriously, which was great at first but also gave the wrong impression.
