Wayne is too smart to be able to teach. He's one of those professors who expects you to know what he knows and if you don't, he treats it like it's your fault. He tests on things briefly mentioned in lecture [not in text] and penalizes harshly for your lack of understanding. Also, his stories and opinions are often innappropriate/offensive.

Wayne has very interesting lectures but capturing the details is difficult because his notes are sparse and messy and he goes way too fast. There is a lot of information to know and the wording of his exams only makes things more complicated and difficult. Also he condensed his class making things far too rushed. way too stessful to be worth it.

I like to think of Wayne as a really bad comedian… sometimes he's hilarious, sometimes he's extremely offensive. There is no in between. The textbook (and the lab prof, Melissa) saved my butt in this class. His notes are literally just a powerpoint of the headings from the textbook. Don't take a class with Wayne if you're easily offended!

Wayne likes to entertain and genuinely cares about his students. He wants them to understand concepts and apply them to real life, not recite the text. You need to work for a good grade in his class but I feel as though he marks very fairly. In PSYC 110 you must attend class as examples are critical to prepare for exams.

His lectures are very long and boring.Attendance isn't mandatory but if you don't show up you probably won't pass.Your grade is entirely on your midterm and final mark and partially online tests.We didn't even get to learn half the stuff we were supposed to. I reccommend staying away from his class.

Everything you do not want in a professor... doesn't get back to emails, doesn't grade, does not provide material where he explains. He does have office hours available tho. Saying that the class is delivered in a seminar way is not a good enough excuse for everything. It's the end of the semester and I do not have even one grade and no email back.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I thought it wouldn't be so bad, WRONG. It is not the material of the course as psych 303 is quite interesting but AVOID Wayne. He made this course wayyyyy more difficult than it needed to be.

DO NOT TAKE HIM! He contradicted himself throughout the course and is hard to get in touch with (often not even answering). Only posts articles and videos as content for the course (I literally learned ZERO). The semester has been over for weeks and he is yet to post A SINGLE mark from the ENTIRE course. If you can help it, do not take him.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! He was by far the worst professor I've ever had. Not once did he communicate properly with the class. He also fully LOST my final exam and lied about it (while also simultaneously ignoring my 100s of emails). Just please take my advice and save your time and energy. Please take this course with someone else.

very unorganized class and the content in exams were always a big mystery. he accidentally made our final exam based on the entire course after promising it would only be on the last 3 chapters. the things he teaches in the lectures is not accurate to the textbook he's using. so confusing and way too much content to learn in only one semester.

This has been by far the most disorganized teacher I have ever had. His lectures have hardly anything to do with the text book. He prepared us for what would be on his exams for the short question answers, and the questions that ended up on the exam had nothing to do with what he had told us to study. Completely blindsided us for his exams. AVOID

This professor, was late to every single class and even our final exam. He also told us the final exam multiple choice section would only be based on chapters after the exam. So I only studied those chapters for the multiple choice section. He then proceeded to have questions 24-47 ALL from before the midterm. He also never ever answers his emails!

Wayne is my favourite prof; i loved going to his lectures because I loved hearing all the out-of-pocket stuff he would say. he makes his students actually interested in what he's saying in the way he speaks and applies his own life experiences. i didn't find him tough at all. We also had no exams, only 2 papers which i heavily preferred

All I did was download PowerPoints and watch lectures of more difficult lessons. No textbook but you might want one for open book final. He was very generous in the final exam and knowledgable about his class. Straightforward lessons and expectations. He's 'a real one and he answers questions. Give respect, get respect.

This professor is so unattentive- He puts no effort into actually teaching and just rambles on about his own life throughout the lecture. His classes had me falling asleep, I barely learned anything and he was so HARD to get ahold of. Avoid taking a class with him if you need credits.

You are only graded on a paper, an assignment of Integrative questions and class discussions. He loves to talk, on any given topic. Best part of his lectures was waiting to see what his tshirt was gonna say (they can be offensive).

He does a great job of making a difficult class manageable. He makes the homework worth 40% so you can easily pass if you do the homework and study a bit for the tests. The midterm and exam are open book, so you can take your time and work through the questions. I'd recommend getting the physical text for the tests alone.

he gets off topic in his lectures. many random stories and jokes. wasn't too difficult, with more studying a high grade is definitely achievable.

A big portion of your grade is showing up for bi-weekly discussions, which are super easy. He is funny and kind of off the wall at times, but that keeps it interesting. Just 2 papers and attendance are graded. It's kind of refreshing having a prof who cares more about thinking outside the box and generating new ideas than reciting content verbatim.

Do not take this prof lol. No content at all in lectures (but if you miss a lecture u lose 10 marks), made us sit in groups for 3 hours talking about the readings he set (which are a mix of videos and readings - the videos are each over an hour long and he gives about 12 each week). Learned nothing would not take again.
