He is a great man and a wonderful teacher. He is very knowledgeable, and if you want a challenge this is a good class for you. You MUST do the readings though, and his tests are difficult if you don't know your stuff.

Friedman holds an interesting class so that it is easy to pay attention. Yes his tests are difficult, but if you study and ATTEND class you will do fine.

great teacher, goes directly by the book - uses examples from the book but speaks well about them. i sat in class and read word for word what he would lecture about and did fine on the tests. nothing to worry about if you like psyc.

he's funny, he DOES like the ladies haha, tests aren't exactly easy but if you study the book stuff that'll help you more than your class notes

You MUST read the book. His lectures are interesting and he can be quite funny. Some questions on the tests come directly from the lecture, so it is a good idea to attend class, but he does not take attendance. For our class, he required a 2-3 page paper, summary and reaction for each chapter.

He is a wonderful prof. I enjoyed his class and learned a lot. Very much a challenge though.

Awesome! If people say he's hard it's because they didn't study. He basically tells you what's going to be on the test. If you do all your assignments you will pass. He's not boring, He's pretty funny. Hillarious as a matter of fact. I had him once and wouldn't hesitate to take him again.

all I can say is if you're a psychology major or minor, or have the opportunity to take this professor, do it. Friedman loves his job, loves teaching, and it shows. Every class I've had with him has been educational but extreamly fun as well. dont miss out.

Nice guy, interesting lectures... tough tests. STUDY AND GO TO CLASS!

excellent teacher, loves his job! good examples to go along the definitions, clear explanations, willing to help out students on personal matters as well as in class related matters. Cannot imagine a better teacher for ths class, he is very funny!

great professor! he is so funny! however be prepared to do alot of work, we had to write 18 short papers in the semester. no hard just tedious, and in the end if bumped my grade up, so he is worth taking.

He is very entertaining. Though we had to write papers after every chapter, they weren't hard to do and took about 30 min. He summarizes every chapter in class and gives good examples. He is also very funny

Cool teacher, but very hard class for me. Just got to be dilligent about studying. Tests sometimes seem misleading. Good guy. Likes baseball.

Just have to write, but other than that he's great!

I really like this class a lot. I hate that it has so many papers (one-two per chapter) because I have a family and 5 other classes, but I am really learning a lot. He makes class so much more interesting than other professors do.

Awesome Prof. Class is fun and he tells you everything that will be on the test. One of the best Psych profs on Campus

Awesome teacher, good stories as examples, funny. test questions can be misleading so focus on application instead of memorization. STUDY AND GO TO CLASS! he will fail you for absences unless you have a REALLY good excuse. if your grade starts going downhill, talk to him about it during office hours and he'll help you out

He is the coolest ****ing teacher ever. Very interesting and fun.

Funny guy, but a little creepy with the borderline letchery. Yes, his tests are detailed. I think students who complains about how hard his tests are too lazy to read and take notes from the book. Students want info spoon fed to them in lecture. Which he WARNS students up front to do. I took book notes, no class notes, and made all A's.

I thought he was fair....I never took notes in class and just went over key terms in the book...I found him interesting and actually learned a few things..

VERY interesting!! i LOVE this class! he has funny stories and a good sense of humor. only bad thing is papers due each time over chapter, but it helps immensely with tests. Definately recommend his class and would take him again!! The only way to not do good is if you dont do the papers or study. to pass tests-read over your papers

Professor Friedman has ADD so he moves around alot and plays with the window pull string, his ring, and anything else that seems interesting to him during his lecture. But ill be damned if you don't absolutely find his talks interested. He made me want to be a psycology major.

By far one of the best professors in the psychology department. He is fair and extreamly interesting. I enjoyed every lecture and didn't mind the fact that they were at 8. He does tend to play with the window sting and ring, but his stories and explainations are great. You will not need the book if you go to lecture and really listen.

Interesting!! Had for an 8 am and I was always awake. Made an easy A with minimal effort. Read the book before tests and you will do well.

Easy class, easy A. Interesting lectures. He often dimissed the class early. one of those "im your friend" teachers that comes across a kind of creepy.

His lectures are very interesting! Never uses notes. Keeps everything in his head. EXTREMELY FUNNY in a sarcastic sort of way. I wish all profs were as intelligent as this one!

Based on what I've heard friends say, I think how much you like him just depends on your interest in Psych & your class time. I had 8 AM & he never got off topic ... friends had later in day & said he always did & was horrible. I thought he was great. Funny, helpful, really knew his stuff. Tests are simple if you read & listen.

stan is the best prof ive ever had...hands down..i dont have to say anything else...

One of the best professors I have ever had and the reason I'm a psych major now. Tests were straight from the book/online publisher site. His lectures were flexible and always interesting (and sometimes off topic, but in a good way). I'm a slacker and I still got a B. Just go to class, read, and STUDY THE ONLINCE PUBLISHER'S SITE and you'll be ok.

I took personality with him and i have to say i loved his class. yeah sometimes he would go a little off topic but nothing drastic and he always got back on track.I think this even helps keep you attention. i would love to take more classes with him. =)

The best.

Okay anyone who says the tests are hard must have never opened the book. The tests are NOTHING but vocabulary terms. He curves some tests, and my average for the entire semester ended up being a 100. Attendance isn't mandatory so who cares if he gets off track. All you have to do is look up vocab terms that the book clearly lays out for you

Great professor! I took him a year ago and he was phenominal, I really enjoyed the class, when I had time to go, and when I didn't I read and the tests were very easy. For a class I half-attended and made a 97 this should be a breeze for someone that even tries in the class.

Okay, so for an opinion from someone who had him for something OTHER than intro: He's a good professor if you pay attention. He can be "creepy" if you choose to see it that way. If you can keep up with him, he'll be more apt to answer your questions and help you. If you don't go to class, you're an idiot. Also, READ THE TEXTBOOK. It's crucial.

His class can seem hard if you don't attend lectures. Sure he "babbles", but that's what makes it interesting! His babbling actually has extremely important information in it. He clarifies everything in the chapters. There's no term paper either, which is nice. Read the chapters and take notes in class!

I LOVED having him as a professor. All you have to do is attend class and listen and you'll do fine on the tests. Yes, the material is a little difficult, but he includes everything in lectures in a fun way and makes it easy to remember by relating it to each person. A really great person, fun character, and it's easy to look forward to class.

Stan's class was wonderful. The lecturers were very informative and provided information that I would not have otherwise known, which I believe professors should do since their goal should be to prepare us. Keep up with the readings, take good notes & you'll do fine.

Great prof,He doesnt take roll, he believes it is your own choice to go to class. But I would recommend going. His lectures are very good and summarize the readings. I would still recommend reading unless you are okay with all C's. His class only consists of tests and Online quizzes as optional extra credit. the program is like $25 buy it! it helps

My favorite professor. lectures not mandatory at all, can make A's on the test without them, but they're very interesting. DO THE ONLINE HOMEWORK. IT'S WORTH THE MONEY. he gives out extra credit for it, and it's a great review. Buy textbook. Read it and take notes. Tests all multiple choice and easy if you read. would recommend to anyone.

This professor is awesome, the most interesting lecturer I've had in my 4 years in college. I miss having this man's class to look forward to during the week. Read the book and tests will be easy.

THIS MAN WAS ONE OF THE BEST INSTRUCTORS I HAVE EVER HAD. HE ALWAYS HAD AN ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING HE SAID WAS TOTALLY CORRECT. He has soo much energy. He is not boring. I wish i could take his class over again. All you have to do is PARTICIPATE. He likes that.

Friedman is the best lecturer I have ever have the pleasure to learn from. His class is fun, and he like to interact with his students. All the vile, and touching, etc that you see in other comments, are just part of his charisma (please develop a sense of humor people). Do the online journals with their the assign chapter and you'll be good.

Professor Friedman is great! I loved his class. His lectures are not mandatory, but I would really recommend going because he often makes the boring stuff in the book fun and understandable. He's very charismatic and enjoys interacting with his students. Do the online extra credit! It will help with your tests a lot!

Friedman is a great proff. His lectures are hilarious but don't help for the exams so read, read, read! That's how I got an A and I didn't think it was too difficult.

Found this class super interesting. He told entertaining anecdotes to illustrate the topics we would cover in class which helped the lessons stick. Super friendly guy that loves his field of study. I found it hard to know what to jot down in my notes though, so be sure to read in order to do well on the tests. Bonus: Cares a lot about his students!

Maybe it's because I like psychology, but I found his class to be very easy and interesting and he was a really cool dude! I got a B and barely ever showed up

This professor is the best one to take for psychology. I am not a psychology major nor did I have any interest in it before his class. He has a great sense of humor! while he may go off on random things sometimes it was always a good time. Attendance is not mandatory however read the book! you read the chapters and know the definitions you get an A
