great class

great course, the helpfulness of the GA who taught the class was great

No ambiguity. You know exactly what you must do to earn an A. Standards are set high and students encouraged to excell. You'll work harder in his classes than you might like, but you'll have the grades to show for it, and you'll know the material COLD!

Those who have trouble in Mallott's class really aren't into Psych. You know what you have to do. He's an extreme behaviorist, but the whole school is, so don't major in psych at WMU if you don't like it. SERIOUSLY. Loved this course, and rat lab so fun!

Never met the guy, he doesn't teach the class. TA was helpfull. Quizzes everday at the end of class. Overall, not a bad class. The Rat Lab was great.

Dr. Malott is a great prof. Take the time to take some advance classes and actually meet him.

As long as you do the work, you're good. He demands a lot out of you, but you'll learn more in his classes than your entire collegiate career.

great class! never met Malott, he has GA's teach the class, he just sets the guidelines! very strict grading scale. you'll learn more in this class than you ever have in any other class. very very time consuming. quizzes everyday with definitions that must be memorized word-for-word.... no joke!

It's definitely a hard class, but I've learned more in this class than any other. You either love him or hate him, and although the GA's teach the courses, they do a great job and make it really really hard for you to fall behind. They make it really hard to not get an A in the class although it is a LOT of work. Quizzes every day with defninitions

this was psy 100 honors which is like psych 3600. You never really meet malott except during special lectures. You will learn SO much and his book is amazingly easy to read and understand. There is a lot of work but you won't actually mind doing it because it helps a lot.

Best prof for Psy. hard class but you learn more with him than you would anywhere else. if you are a psy major then definitely take this class with him but be ready to bust your butt and spend alot of time studying. whoever has a problem with him have problems with bis radical behaviorism. hes extreme but he knows his stuff.

Tough to rate the professor since he doesn't teach the class. And I totally agree with another comment about how we still have to pay the same amount for a kid with no teaching experience to run the class. However, if you read each chapter and be sure to know your vocabulary you will do well. You MUST go to class, and the lab.

You never get to see him, but his teachings are awesome. I think every parent should read "Princples of Psychology" before even thinking of having kids!!! lol

You typically don't meet him which is true. I am an undergrad and have worked with him multiple times and can say he is not full of himself at all. He really cares about the kids and really knows this stuff. World renowned professor. TAs(competent) teach the class and you can ALWAYS get help from one of them. You will learn so much from the class.

Most of the time can't tell if he's being serious or sarcastic. WILL make fun of you. This class is a combo of 360 & 460 VERY time consuming w/ reading 1-2 chapters for each class along w/ hw. & for the 1st 1/2 of class, a chapter a night from another book w/ hw. Grade is completely based off of quiz grade & very hard to bring up, so STUDY.

It is time consuming and hardwork, but I have never learned more useful information from any class in my life. This class clarified what I want to do with the rest of my life. If you dont take 360 or 460 with Malott i guarantee you will regret that decision.

Dr. Malott is loved by his cult-like cronies (GSI's and wannabe GSI's) but everyone else finds him detestable. You can gate an A, but you have to do Way Way too much work to do it. Not hard, but endless work.

Took this class as a freshmen, even though it's a junior class. Took it for an honors credit. I had no interest in psych first. I ended up changing my major from computer science to psych after this class. Never really meet him, but his book is great as a teacher itself and you have to be stupid to not get an A.

I took Malott's PSY 360 my first semester (I transferred from a community college) so I never had any idea that his class was "harder" than any other kind of PSY class. In so, I was never spoiled by "easy" classes. I mean, people are complaining on here that they have to study before each class?

Is this class hard, yes. But it is designed so that you are the person who determines your grade. If you put in a lot of effort you will get an A, and if you don't then you won't. This is an amazing class, and 4600 is much easier if you take it with Malott as well.

Malott no longer teaches this class. However, his book is still really interesting and takes and interesting look at topics in psychology. My TA, Kellie Edmonds, was amazing and very helpful. Took it as an honors course. It is aheavy workload but totally worth it, and made me decide to change my maj. to behav. psych. Malott really knows his stuff.

HE IS THE MAN hands down

This class is time consuming but worth it. YOU WILL learn and love Behavior analysis from this class. Class testing is awesome, instead of a few big tests there a bunch of small quizzes, making the class more forgiving.

He is a great Prof. his classes are more of a learning experience than a class. People who turn in the work and go to class will do great in this class. The book he wrote about the principals of behavior is literary the only book that I've cared about reading in my college career. TAKE THE CLASS!

By far the best experience I've had in learning about Behavior Analysis. This class changed my perspective on the world completely.

I LOVED this class. You hear people complain that it was hard etc. Well, you knew EXACTLY what you were getting in to. The grading is strict, but it reinforces(hehe) your studying for sure. The GSI's are wonderful and know their stuff. I'm so happy I got to meet Malott at the Final Fiesta. He's so much fun and has such a cool house!

Quite possibly the most amazing person I have ever met. 1400 changed my perspective on just about everything. People tend to either love Dr. Malott or hate him. The class is extremely hard with homework, readings, and quizzes for every class, but well worth it if you like Behavior Analysis and plan to go on in Malott's program.

This class changed my outlook on psychology, and I am now pursuing a degree in behavior analysis! Lauren DeClaire was my GSI and she is wonderful! Knows her stuff! The book is amazing, and if you study, read the book, and pay attention in class you will do fine!

This class is tough. You have to know your definitions in order to pass, and know them word for word and be able to write them out. Once your grade drops a little it is tough to get it back up. The class is tough, Hilary Barns was my GSI and she is great and fun! Class is required so you pretty much have to suck it up and do the work.

Class is difficult, but if you manage your time, do the homework, and go to class, you'll pass just fine. There's a lot of memorization but at a few terms a day, it wasn't difficult. I was expecting this class to be a lot harder and I got a Super A. Katie Mahaffy was my GSI and she did great! We didn't have a single lecture from Malott all semester

I walked into this class expecting to get a grade that was close to failing b/c of prior knowledge of the class and ended up with an A+. Do the homework, read the book and study the flashcards that THEY give you and you WILL pass the class. Quizzes every class period keep you on your toes with studying.

1400 is an incredibly difficult class. It is absolutely NOT a 1400 level. Chances are you will never actually meet Dr. Malott. His graduate TAs run the entire course. The classes are 10-15 students. Prepare for memorizing word for word definitions and having up to 4+ quizzes a day. Participation is a must. The course pack is a life saver.

Okay, this class is really hard but it is needed for the behavioral major. you have to really understand the chapter before you get to class and depending on your GA is if you will go into detail about the chapter. it's a lot of work but i personally found it interesting and got the Super A.

Attention PSY majors! Yes, it's a lot of work; BUT- Amazing. I absolutely hate studying, and I currently have an A in the class with a month to go. I found a passion in this study, and my GSI and Dr. Malott have begun that passion for me. The way the class is set up is designed to help you succeed. Just do what you're told, and you will pass.

I took this class as a required class and was scared for it. They lay everything out in a way that if you just read and come to class prepared you'll get a good grade. You should expect to teach yourself a little, but there are lectures to ask questions. Overall it wasn't a bad class; your GSI is there to help.

Yes this class is very time consuming- but it has been my favorite class at wmu. The course pack gives you already printed flashcards which are very helpful and the textbook is the best. The book is not like any other college text book and is the only textbook i have EVER read cover to cover. Its easy to read and understand and gives funny examples

The syllabus and grading system for this class is clear-cut and extremely beneficial. The course prepares you for the real world of behavior analysis, instead of just an "easy A" like most of the psych classes I've taken. You truly learn a lot. The effort put in will reflect the final grade.

Anyone who complains about this class being impossible clearly isn't used to having to actually make an effort and study. You can't be a lazy person and take this class. I was terrified to take it but ended up with a B. I enjoyed the material and I loved my GSI. Lots of homework, but it's only to help you understand. Stay on track & you'll do fine.

I loved this class! In the matter of 1 semester, I learned so much. This class is quiz heavy, a quiz every time you come to class, but it is so worth it due to how much you are learning! There is no opportunity for extra credit but there are OAP's which I would take advantage of. I ended up earning a super-duper A. Hard work pays off in this class.
