All these negative comments about Professor Bamberg are unfortunate because it just means that these students did not get to experience the brilliance and the exhurberence that is Professor Bamberg. I have great respect for him and his teaching!

I don't share the two previous raters' values - at all. Maybe they have some problems or issues that most of us don't see. I had a very productive half semester. Okay, it was a lot of work, but I don't mind. Maybe that's their problem?

He is very demanding, but I got a lot out of his class. I just don't understand how anyone can blame this class or the profesor for not getting anything out of it! So, don't believe those losers who take this as their opportunity for a vicious revenge!

I like professor Bamberg, but I think that's because I participate and talk in class, and he is very encouraging - however, if you're not prepared to participate, you probably won't get a very good grade.

I did Psych 107 a year ago and really enjoyed it. My kind of psychology! He was very helpful but it was a lot of work.

its required for a reason- the material is important no matter what you want to do in psyc. If you think that you don't need to know the things that are taught in this class for psychology, maybe you should pick a new major.

you'll do fine in this class if you go in with an open mind, and then take the lack of structure in the observation project and use it to your own benefit. Plus he is an extremely nice guy and always very helpful.

i liked his class a lot.

Lots of work, but great course. Helpful professor and important information for Psych majors.

my kind of psychology. However, it should be taught for a full semester not just half

Interesting perspective on psychology research. He seems to know what he´s talking about

I think this course should have some kind of a warning label on it, something to the effect of, "Anyone who takes this course is liable to do up to 8 hours of work on this course on any Monday." Still, Bamberg is extremely effective in his teach

Great professor. His class is interesting and informative. This class will take some effort so people who are expecting something easy should probably consider changing their major. But other than that, he is a very nice person and I enjoyed his class.

Funny guy. Readings are solely for quizzes and classs chat. Observation project is somewhat unclear, and can be hard to figure out what you're supposed to be diong or looking for. He tries to help without giving you the exact answer in realtion to the obsevation. Good prof, would reccommend.

The main reason why I am leaving a rating is because Prof. Bamberg is an obsessive ratemyprofessor.com checker. It's really quite funny. But he's a pretty interesting professor with some fun and interesting stories. The work load is a lot but not overbearing. He's a nice guy and tries his best.

Good class, Bamberg made clear what to expect. Lot of work, but you walk away knowing something!

great class, great professor, though I was really scared of having to take it.

Bamberg was my Advisor and he was truly great to me for all 4 years at Clark. I wish he wasn't on sabbatical for the second semester of my senior year, but he made sure to keep in touch when needed. I learned the most from him than any of my other psych professors.

There's a lot work in this class but he's a good professor. He's very interesting and very into what he does.

very into the material... demanding but a good professor

Uh, first of all, Psych 192 does not exist, and I believe that comment was made about 193. The professor is very biased and tends to play favorites, sometimes even a little immature. I enjoyed the class, but it was quite demanding for a first-year class. We were warned, though...

Crazy and hillarious. Easy work, but weird assignments. Very helpful outside the classroom.

he does play favorites and it's impossible to figure out how he choses who he favors. overall if you show interest and participate, it'll make the class easier. as for the "2 pgs per class", get the ef over it because he has no final exam and the final paper is 10 pgs of b.s. that require no research.

I took 107 last semester and we did a lot of really interesting readings in that class - no s. The research project was great: really connected, and the whole class was into it. The previous poster definitely was not in our class, definately not!

I second that. Definitely a good class, we worked hard, learned alot and we really enjoyed him and his TA. He knows what he's teaching and made class fun. I would have dropped psych if it wasn't for this class, seriously.

Bamber is intelligent and knows how to teach a research class. The class is what you make of it, you work hard, to squibs, read the articles you should be fine. Some adivice, contribute to class lectures and on blackboard forums (its is a % of final grade), on quizes incorporate prior readings that aplly to subject matter. TA is great and helpful.

Great class. Lots of good readings (but I don't mind). Good professor. Not at all what I expected.

it was a very good course. I learned a lot. He did give a decent amount of work but that's what helped. I ended up loving this course and I hope to take another course with Professor Bamberg before I graduate

Truly passionate about what he is teaching. Classes were very interesting, cares about the opinions of the students. There is a bit of reading, but it's not difficult. I dreaded taking this class, but in the end I really enjoyed it, great professor.

He is a terrific teacher.

This class was one of the best classes I have taken. I am so glad that this is a requirement for the major because you would be missing out without being a part of this amazing learning experience. All assignments are useful and practical, those who do not like this class were just too lazy to manage their time well and blame it on the professor...

I really, really, really really enjoyed this class. It's hard, definitely, but worth the effort. He is extremely passionate and a little flighty but he, eventually, gets his point accross. If you do the work and really try to understand what he is getting at it is an amazing experience. Changed my perspective on a lot of things. Gotta love Bamberg!

Prof Bamberg is amazing! If you are a hard worker and are genuinely interested in dedicating yourself to the course, you will be golden in his classes!! His classes definitely cater to people are are willing to work hard and apply themselves. If that's not you and you're looking to breeze by, you can still take him but you def won't get an A...

Bamberg's classes are a lot of fun. He taught me a whole new way to think about interpersonal conversations.

I don't think he cares a lot whether you major in psych or not. I had him in the FYS and in 107 and he was my fa. He did a good job in helping me figure out that psych really wasn't my thing. Thank you, Bamberg, seriously! By the way, his FYS was a great start at Clark!

GREAT man. His class is hard, no doubt about that. But he is passionate and makes you want to jump up and love it as much as he does! He's all over the place most of the time but that just makes him even more loveable. Good man.

This class is a lot of work, but what I've learned thus far will stick with me. He pushes the student into become actively involved in his or her own learning process. It is hard at times, but keeping on top of all the work makes it much easier. At first I hated all the Blackboard postings, but it has facilitated in gaining new knowledge more than

Best professor at Clark. Really cares about his students and whether or not they are learning. He is absolutely brilliant and interesting. 109 is a lot of work but a GREAT class!

Crazy guy...awesome class.

he is an awesome professor, i had him for a first year seminar.. funny and wacky

He cares about his students much more than any professor I've ever had before. He really knows his stuff, and he makes all lectures interesting. He uses alot of humor and really takes the time to get to know his students. Awesome professor!!

I found Professor Bamberg to be rather rude and distant. He was my first (major) advisor. Very funny in the first class. Too bad qualitative psychology is an awful subject. Andbecause he teaches so many freshmen, he gets overloaded with advisees (see how many reviews he has?); he will not care about you unless you are one of his top students.

Professor Bamberg is a total badass! The only reason people leave bad comments about him is because they didn't go to class/didn't do the readings. If you do all the assignments, you'll be fine and you can truly appreciate the awesomeness that is Bamberg.

He is a nice guy and he's really funny. You just gotta have a open mind and realize that he gives you the freedom to make the class fit you.

I took this class, Discourse, Identity and the Critique of Romance for my FYI and I absolutely loved it!! Bamberg is such a smart guy and he genuinely loves teaching and inspiring his students. He definitely does assign quite a bit of homework, though. If you take his class make sure you're genuinely interested in the subject matter.

He's amazing. I took his class, became his PLA and then assistant. Very inspirational, class can be hard and lots of reading and writing, but as long as you try and pay attention and think, he wont be that tough. hes been a mentor and inspirational figure for me, thankful that i have met him my first year in college!

Great teacher. Lot of work, but worth it.

Super amazing professor. You have to get used to the way that he teaches class and the expectations he has for you. But all he really cares about is that you try your best to understand the material and give an honest effort.

Get ready for hours of work each week: it's not super *hard* but it is very time consuming. Weekly discussion meeting required but often you must have extra meetings too. Self reflection papers every single week, quizzes sometimes twice a week, "squibs" (reading summaries) due with each reading. Very unique teaching style. Overall, he's a smart guy

Bamberg is a great professor but his teaching style is definitely not for everyone. This class is really what you make of it, which I think is good for some and not for others. If you're someone that needs lots of structure, consider a different one. For me it worked very well and his course is my favorite course I've taken at Clark so far.

When I came into this class I didn't know what to expect. I'm glad I stuck through it because I learned more than I ever thought I would. Professor Bamberg is a genuis who is passionate about his work but also does not hesitate to help his students. Can truly say he helped me go from a D grade to an A grade in a matter of months. Great TA/PLA too!

Professor. Bamberg is a deep thinker who made significant achievements in his field. Even though his teaching style is a bit challenging and could be changed in some ways, there's much value in what he teaches. Professor. Bamberg's course challenged me continuously to grow and learn unlike any other course I took.

Bamberg is misunderstood! He is caring and funny. People go in having the wrong impression of him. I was scared at first to go to class, but then he turned out to be amazing! He has been very accommodating to me with all of my SAS accommodations as well! Bamberg is never the issue, it's more of his TA's in the class that were the problem for me.
