Good Prof; doesn't use many teaching aids; Easy Tests

A little boring at times but an easy course overall (especially if you've already taken PSYC 3260 - there's a lot of overlap).

very easy exams, makes otherwise hard material easy to grasp, very helpful to students, would not hesitate to take another class, especially to boost gpa

good prof, knows a lot, can get sidetracked, once you get over his pacing back and forth it's ok; great if you already took memory with him--a lot of overlap. don't copy down slides--they are available (now in course kit). good exams, know some details!

Nice guy, but don't be fooled..his tests can be hard...need to read, read, read. His pacing back and forth made me dizzy.

good guy...always willing to help out his students. professional, caring, and upbeat about teaching. You'll never fall asleep in his class.

Very Good Prof. Explains the material in a way that is easy to understand. His exams are easy if you study but he tries to trick you so you got to read his questions very carefully

great prof! Awesome course!

i'm taking his cognition currently in summer school...his lectures are somewhat boring but his notesa are all available in the course kit which helps a lot...and the exams are better than i thought as long as u study!!

Easy to understand. Gives out lecture notes. Two thumbs up.

Interesting but long lectures, he gets side tracked sometimes but overall an excellent teacher always willing to help.The course kit has all the slides and he makes more notes available to look at.

Norm has alot of clinical knowledge and uses them in his class lectures. Test are fair. You definately need to attend lectures to understand his class notes. Those who found lectures boring probably didn;t do any of the readings. Very nice, accomodating, knowleable, passionate, and fair professor.

Professor is experienced and knows what he's talking about, although the lectures may drag on at times. Interesting personal experiences are brought in. Tests are fair and straightforward. You have to come to class to understand lecture notes.

Lectures were very interesting and intriguing! Loved the course, loved the Prof. Definitely would take another course with him.

Very good professor

Sme of the other comments are unfair. He's a good prof and its a pretty interesting course. Tests are easy. Multiple choice questions are either from bold terms in text, or are the results of experiments he has discussed in the lecture notes.

He's knowledgeable and informative and willing to help. Stats sucks - but i'm glad i'm in this professor's class. The text is really helpful too.

Very Classy prof.

the man's boring, but mind you, so is the topic, i cant recall the last time i had an interesting lecturer for anything related to mathematics. he is very informative, helpful, takes his time to explain. he bell curves and for short answers, he divides wot he wants, eg. find mean etc. as oppose to other lectueres they just write solve.

People give him weak ratings but he's a good prof. Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and even though his lectures can be a bit bland sometimes, what do you expect, Stats isn't exactly a party subject! I managed to get an A in his class and I haven't gotten an A in math since the 6th grade. He's also kind of adorable in how gullible he is. ;)

Very nice man, helpful and likeable. However, the course is HARD, exams are HARD, lectures are boring. He LOVES details (studies, results, millions of names to learn). One of the hardest psyc classes for sure.

I had professor park for cognition and memory. by far the two most boring courses in psych. the tests were incredibly hard and overly complicated. the two worse course i've taken in 3 years at york!

Good professor, presents interactive material in clear, concise manner and answers students questions fully. Wants to ensure students understand the material he presents. Great prof -had him for statistics too! I dont know what these others are complaining about - maybe they should have studied first before writing their inaccurate statements.

Good prof!

Clear concise presentations. Brings his own experience to the classroom setting. Ensure everyone has a clear understanding of the concepts being discussed. Fair first exam.

Park is a very sweet man (very cute/funny in a dorky sort of way) The material is a little dull, but he's so enthusiastic about it that it helps keep the class awake. He has interesting stories about patients with brain damage. Tests aren't super easy, but they are fair. I would definitely take more classes with him

course material can be dry @ points - but who cares this prof is hot!

Final exam worth 70% and a ridiculous amount of information to sift through - the enitre course's infomration (8 Chapters) +2 articles + all lecture slides/notes. The exam ends up being 108 multiple choise and 3 short answer. What was he thinking?

Prof Park was a good Prof. He had fair tests. The material covered in the course was extensive but very doable. It was overall an enjoyable and interesting course. His voice could at times be monotonous.

Good prof - study hard.

This professor is about average. His explanations of the material is ok and the lectures are alright. There is in my opinion too much information in the course which consists of 2 tests. The midterm was worth 40% and the cumulative final was worth 60%. Since the course was difficult I felt I did learn a lot in it.

Great professor! explains well, and is very devoted to his work. Definitely one of the hardest courses i've taken in psychology just becasue of the large content! 3/5 tests counted. And the final is worth 40%. Final focuses exactly about 50% from the book. But in class tests focus pretty much all from the lecture. But all in all a very nice prof!

Amazing PROF!! His method of teaching is the best, espci if you are seeking an A.

Approachable professor. Always happy to answer question before lecture, during lecture, after lecture. Don't have to memorize details. only key points. read the textbook (200 pages, not bad). Top 3/5 quizzes are counted. Final exam was straight forward. no hidden tricks. received A+ (attended all lecture, read over textbook once).

He is a really great prof. Be prepared to really know and understand the material in order to get an A. His tests (one every two weeks, 5 in total) are fair and he takes your highest three marks and averages them out. The last exam is worth 40%.

I really liked the information, found it really interesting. However, I found his class EXTREMELY BORING and for the most part he read off the slides. Couldn't stay awake. After second test I stopped going to lectures. Just read lecture slides and text book and finished with an A. He is a nice prof though and will help you if you need it :)

Great prof. Don't expect him to entertain you. He is a professor and does his job great. Go to school to learn not just to pay for a degree. The material is interesting, he's very helpful. Go to class, read the books, print out the slides and bring to class. PAY ATTENTION. THe more engaged you get the easier it is. Sit at the front.

It's not a bird course. Take this class if you want to know more about the FUNCTIONS of the brain structures. Tests were fair. Final was brutal, too many details from the book. Got an A:)

Dr. Park was a great teacher. I am still influenced by the material i learned from 3 years ago. Teaches with more passion than excitement. He is a goofy character which i thought eased the long lectures and dense material. material is very logical A because of B because of C type of stuff, easy to learn because it applies to all our lives

Really great prof. Very knowledgeable on the topics. The content can be challenging, but it is really interesting. 60% of the grade was made up of biweekly noncumulative quizzes. You write 5 quizzes, and he takes the best 3 to make up the 60%. 40% is a final cumulative exam. It seems like a lot, but if you review your previous quizzes it helps.

Organized lectures & slides that complement textbook readings Biweekly quizzes ensure learning is distributed, not massed Thorough final review session with Q&A Nice person (and although not relevant, he's actually quite attractive, and has a nice voice - like a younger Robert Redford! )

Dr Park is an amazing professor! His lectures are a little dry and very content heavy but if you're into psychology his class is very interesting. Test material comes straight from the textbook and lecture slides, and he has a lot of tests where you get to pick the best marks (3/5) know your brain parts

Also took PSYC3260 (Cognition) with Dr. Park. He is a great lecturer, he is good at answering questions and checking to make sure everyone understands before moving on. Course content is difficult without attending class or reading the textbook. Short answer questions are based on the lecture material. I would take a class with him again.

It was one of the hardest subject I ve taken at York, however it turned out to be very well done because of a huge amount of studying, many times I didn't get an expected grade, so get ready to work for your goal hard. Professor provides lots of opportunities to reach the desired grade.
