Travis was 1 of 3 prof. teaching the course, and the best.Intersting, great lectures- sites simpsons and seinfeld for examples.Go to lecture and do the readings, and you'll pass his test easily. !!He shows a video on Neuroscince you cant make up or find!!

He goes a little fast, however his lectures can still be easly understood and enjoyed.

THIS MAN IS HILARIOUS! Seinfeld played in class! The classes were interesting and entertaining! The material was a little challenging, but easy to get into with this professor.

my favorite of the three. very intresting and experianced lecturer who keeps the subject intresting with good examples

The best teacher in this course. He taught the most difficult subject (in my opinion) but by great use of examples made it understandable. Surprisingly, it was his exam I did the best on! Also, I went to his office hours and he was VERY helpful.

Lectures were pretty interesting. The test was mostly from his lectures.

Best teacher out of all three by far! He is hilarious and really makes you understand the material

Travis was my favorite out of the three psyc 1 teachers. I loved his lectures and he was a great teacher.

I had the pleasure of working with Travis for Field Study and took his class Lying & Deception. He is extremely bright and manages to effectively lead all discussions in a casual manner. He can grade hard but is funny and easy to approach.

Travis is great! He really holds your attention throughout his lectures. He's funny, and he uses excellent supplemental material. One bad thing - in 130B some of the exam questions were poorly written, and he didn't throw them out even when 92% of the class got them wrong due to semantics.

His lectures are clear, and he has a good sense of humor. His test can be hard if you don't read and pay attention to the reading. He tests from both the reading and the lectures, but mostly from the reading. He is really helpful during tests if you ask him questions, and he will curve the tests.

Travis is an excellent professor. He keeps you interested with humor and supplemental materials. However, in 130B, his midterms were extremely difficult and a lot of people got really frustrated. Be prepared to do a ton of studying and figure out some way to conceptualize every line of text read.

lying and deception was an excellant class..dont know if he still teaches it but would highly recommend.. he is an anal retentive grader who is true to his "email me your essay by 10 pm" types.... his stuff is difficult... but dont let that discourage you.... he is down to explain

I loved Travis' examples, getting to figure out how or if a classmate was lying was great practice for the real world. I really enjoyed the readings for this class too. Good, good , good.

He was a really great teacher. The way he taught really catches your attention. I wish I could've said the same about the other teachers that taught Psych 1 with him =/

Fantastic prof! He's the kind that can turn a dry, difficult class into something very fun and memorable. He spends as much time as you want in his office hours, too.

This guy is great! Class was funny and engaging. No final for this class and no midterms. Just quizzes after going over new sections. No textbook needed and used a great Course packet that he put together. Attendance not mandatory but helpful. He teaching is more learning by doing. If you have to take Research Methods, take it with him!!

His tests are ridiculous! Not at all a fair assessment of the material. The readings are super dense and he holds you accountable for minute details. With all that said I still can't but help the guy. He's actually pretty amazing but his classes are not easy.

Everyone else is right on track!! He is a great prof and obviously very smart but his tests are RIDICULOUS! Make sure 2 know the study guide front 2 back and even then ur bound 2 miss a few. I got a B+, but that was with 15+ hrs of studying for the midterm. Do the readings ask a lot of ?'s (despite the difficulty hes very helpful) & dont miss class

He's a great teacher! Keeps things interresting even though all his lectures are powerpoints. He's hilarious and very knowledgeable on the subject. His tests are rediculously hard though. Expect to study ALOT! Go to his office hours.

Great professor! He is very knowledgeable and keeps lectures interesting and funny. His midterms really are not that hard as long as you read and study a little bit.

Seymour is a pretty good professor. His lectures are either a hit or miss. The exams are pretty hard, but you just have to study a lot. I met with him about an essay I turned in (got a bad grade on it) and he really helped me out. He's a cool guy. I would recommend him as long as you're okay with loads of studying.

Great professor! He taught the cognitive psychology segment of PSYC 01. The subject material was difficult and involved a lot of concepts from other areas of science (bio, neuroscience, etc) but Seymour did his best to explain everything and answer all student questions. Definitely go to section and study for his part of the course.

Great personality! Very easy to understand. Uses concrete examples. Just the right amount of humor. Very comfortable and easy on the ears. Just a great guy overall!

Great psychology teacher - taking him again. Decent amount of work, nothing too bad, he obviously cares about his stuff

He taught the cognitive segment of psych 1, overall really good professor. Make sure to stay on top of reading and review material regularly. Midterm is pretty straightforward.

Seymour taught the cognitive section of psych 1. He seems like a nice guy but it was boring and the exam was very difficult.

He was a great professor. Make sure to stay on top of the reading and review material constantly. His exam was the most difficult out of the rest of the instructors.

Travis is a funny and caring professor. He has done amazing research in the field of deception and the class was really interesting, you learn a lot through many different mediums, such as films and creative writing. I really enjoyed his class and ability to cater to multiple styles of learning.

Make sure when you take notes in class that you mainly focus on what he says, will help you on weekly quizzes; look away from the projector if you have to. 2 essays, 1 midterm, 1 non-cumulative final, loves Star Wars, is clear and very approachable (also lots of videos or movies in class).

Professor Seymour is a great Professor. I took intro to Cognitive Psychology with him. His lectures are very important to his midterms and final. The book is important to read as well however it will be just the basics from the book. KNOW THE EXPERIMENTS from his lecture. 85% of his exams are on it. No homework is given and he is a funny dude!

If you want easy, swap classes. If you want competent, take Seymour's class. Had him for a couple of cog-sci courses: Python programming and Learning & Memory. He knows his stuff very well, and is capable of relaying dense content through a fun lecture. Take his classes seriously though, he won't coddle you.

He is a good lecturer, and most of his exam questions reflect lecture materials. However, he is too strict in enforcing deadlines without consideration to outstanding circumstances. Nonetheless, he is a nice professor overall.

Professor Seymour was great! Hes passionate about Cog Sci and presents great examples for what he is teaching. Lecture and section are not required and he also does not give study guides. So, your success in this class is entirely up to you. His tests are straightforward, just make sure to look over lecture slides.

Travis is very passionate in teaching. He takes his time in class to answer questions students may have. The class consists of weekly quizzes (1-2), 3 midterms and 1 cumulative final. The quizzes are set up so that you can get 100% easily. Midterms are lecture based so make sure you listen. Everything is pretty straightforward. Just study.

This class was pretty hard. We had one assignment and one project each week, but we got to drop some. Overall, there was a lot of work, but that's to be expected for any programming class. Travis was pretty funny though and I didn't have many issues with the class besides the fact that he didn't record the lectures.

I liked Travis. Tests were difficult but he was a super personable guy that you could tell was very passionate and knowledgeable about his subjects. Would recommend.

His lectures were good but he did get distracted but those distractions were funny and interesting. His exams were open note and he dropped the lowest exam and quiz grade. Overall I would take again.

I don't understand all of the low ratings for Prof Seymour. His class was interesting, his slides were well formatted, the discussion sections were helpful, and there weren't too many tests. He tends to go on tangents but they are all pretty interesting. Worth taking the class just for his Geon song.

Took this class during summer. Much easier than expected. If you did the work you got the grade. I don't think he graded too hard but then again I took the class during summer, maybe he was easier just for us?

Travis Seymour is a very engaging lecturer. PSYC 20 is already covers interesting topics, but he elevates it. His Geon song is legendary and he tells very fun to listen to stories. Lectures were in person, but the tests were online and open book. He seemed to be experimenting with online tests, so that might not stay. I would definitely recommend.

Travis is a cool guy and an average professor. You can tell that he really does love cognitive psych, as he tends to go on tangents during lecture and lose track of what he is doing. Nonetheless, the class itself is not made to be difficult, and Travis does a great job of keeping us on track in terms of homework and lectures.

Dr. Seymour is a very approachable and caring professor. During the final I gave all I could before walking out with an incomplete exam. (Should've gone to more office hours.) He came outside to encourage me to try looking at the test one more time. Even though I was so embarrassed, his compassion and effort really stuck with me.

I recently took my first exam, and many of the questions were definitely not as hard as people were saying. If you study using mind maps and go to his office hours, you will do great on the exams! The downside is that he doesn't explain what chapters will be on the test, and has only 3 tests and nothing else.
