dont go to class + read book carefully + do online quizzes = get a B. Put some extra effort in and get an A. Not too bad of a class, interesting stuff, but not easy for a 100-level elective either

He's a really nice guy, but his lectures are boring as hell, and overall you learn nothing from him. The tests aren't that hard, but you have to read the book. As a teacher, he's bad, but the class on the whole is okay. Not an easy class, don't take it if you already have a lot of classes. Everyone underestimates the class at first.

Not too bad of a class, interesting material. I stopped going to class after the first exam and it didn't hurt me at all. Just read the book consistently and carefully and you'll do fine. The chapters are long though, so don't put off the reading until the day before the exam like I did. That made the difference between an A and a B for me.

Does require more work than you would think, but not a hard A. Go to class even though it can sometimes get pretty boring, take notes, and especially read the book. Cohen tries to make it interesting with funny examples and stories; he's a good guy and really loves his subject. Def. take over DiLorenzo.

This is not an easy class. There is alot of reading involved because it is introductory psyc. Lectures can be boring but he always gives very good examples and he explains terms very well.

Pretty easy. To get an A you need to read the text rather thoroughly, and it's a lot to read--exams are pretty much from the text book and the online quizzes, which you should also take to help your grade/prepare for exams. Class emphasizes what to focus on from text, but I didn't take any notes and got an A. Read and you'll be fine. Pretty easy A.

great prof. and great guy. class is boring because research methods is boring, but he explains dry material as best he can, and is VERY clear. 3 exams, no final, final paper is a joke (took half and hour). listen in class and study for exams and you'll get an A without opening the book.

No need to go to class.....ever. I went to every class before the first exam and then realized how pointless it really was. You must read the textbook and take good notes to study from in order to do well on the exams, if you do that you are guaranteed at least a B. Also use the online quizzes and study guide book to prepare for exams. Not too

Very nice man, the course was not bad. As everyone else said, in order to do good on exams you must look at the textbook. I usually skimmed through it, taking notes on bold and italic terms (without fully reading) and got a B. Don't get lazy and just study the night before because you will be up quite awhile.

Honestly, I loved having him teach psych. You do have to put a good amount of work in, but that just means READ THE TEXTBOOK. He's hilarious, could have been a comedian rather than a psych professor. I recommend taking this class with him. Students complained about getting bad grades but that's only because they didn't read the textbook enough.

EXTREMELY BORING teacher. You never need to attend a single class. He speaks directly from the powerpoint which is online. To pass this course you need to read and put into memory the textbook. Which is 40 pages per chapter, 3.5 chapters per test, 4 tests. I do not recommend this teacher, material isnt impossible but he is just boring.

He was alright. If you are interested in psychology he is a fine professor to take. There are probably better professors than him. He was boring in class and repeated the text book, so I didn't go to class and read the book instead. Study names and understand the concepts and an A is possible. Do the extra credit.

just memorize in long masses periods of time before the exams. i suggest a week before the exam read all the chapters and then read them all over agian pretty time consuming. but if you do it my way you will forget everything you learn within a week so you can use it for more important stuff like math or chem

AVOID THIS TEACHER UNLESS YOU LOVE TO READ!!! Do not have to ever attend class, except to take the exam. HE LOVES his book and you need to memorize it IN AND OUT or else you will do poorly on the exam. EACH chapter is aprox. 40 pages with 3.5 chapters @ exam. Take this class ONLY if you have a INSANE memory

I took the online section over the summer. His lectures are very clear and he makes concepts easy to understand. Only downside was the actual exams themselves - all essays. With so much information to take in at once it made studying the right material difficult. BUT, if you contact him/go to his office hours he's an amazing help.

I took this class online over the summer, and it is easily the worst class I have ever taken at UD. The text book was incredibly boring and failed to adequately explain the material.

He is not too hard and you don't have to attend class. But, you definitely have to read all of the chapters for the test because many of the questions on the test are in the book and are not mentioned in class. There is an book that outlines every chapter which is really helpful. He offers one extra credit assignment.

Lectures are right off his powerpoints, which are all on Sakai so class attendance isn't necessary. There's 4 multiple choice exams in total but not all the exam material is covered in his powerpoints. The exams weren't easy but they weren't horrible as long as you read the chapters and knew what was on his slides.

Great guy, good speaker and not hard to listen to or understand. The thing is that class is pointless because you can read it right off his powerpoints and class is USELESS, because the tests have nothing to do with class. If you don't read the textbook chapters at least twice you won't do well at ALL on tests. NO test questions are from class

Whoever said the test questions have nothing to do with lectures is WRONG and clearly didn't go to class. It is only 2-5 questions out of 65 per exam, but that could make or break you. Easy to pay attention to. The textbook is definitely a necessity. Your grade comes strictly from the four exams (none are cumulative) and 6 points extra credit.

I love Cohen because he is so straight forward. He seriously from day one said know the text book and you'll be fine. This class is a ton of reading but if you outline the chapters and go over it, it's totally do-able. Don't buy the book study guide though because they questions in there aren't the ones on the test.
