I thought he was really funny in class. And he's a really nice guy. That said, there's a lot of reading studies in this class, so if you don't like academic writing, it could be difficult. He also seems offended if everyone in the class doesn't want to talk about the readings, so talking is encouraged if you want him to be happy. There was also a weird dichotomy where some assignments were graded really difficultly and others were graded really easily. Luckily the assignments that were graded difficultly were weighted less overall. Not the easiest class ever, but with a normal amount of work, you can easily get into the B+/A- range.

This class was pretty worthless. All you do is memorize experimental designs for social science research. I would be fine with this if there was actually some sort of standardization in this sort of research, but there isn't. So if you can just memorize things, you'll be fine. As far as the writing for this class goes, as long as you're halfway decent you'll be fine. Just be sure to follow his prompts exactly. He's pretty awful at lecturing, I basically never got anything out of it. His lecture would consist of 5 power point slides which only addressed the readings at the most superficial level. I always walked out feeling like I had wasted a lot of time. However, participation counts for a fair amount of your grade so you kind of have to show up.
