I HIGHLY recommend this class and Professor Lemay as he is one of the best professors I have ever had in the psychology department. He does an incredible job of explaining everything, he is extremely clear and shows you how to do everything- if you show up and listen you will learn a lot. He is also completely transparent, everything you need to know for any assignment is on the power points that he posts. The workload is manageable, and the TA labs are optional (I never went to any), but I went to all of Lemay's classes. This class is so interesting and he is amazing 100% TAKE IT!!! |

Professor Lemay was incredible and so helpful. I was a little nervous at the start of the semester considering this is a 400 level course but he made learning very enjoyable and manageable. The work load is fair, not too overwhelming, and if any concern or questions arise he responds in a timely manner and is super helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed this class, probably one of my favorite psych classes as a psych student. If you need to fulfill a 400 level lab credit for psych, take this one! |

Professor Lemay is one of the best teachers I’ve had tbh. I struggled a lot with PSYC 300 so, i was pretty nervous about the course, but he made everything so much easy to understand. His teaching style is super clear, and he breaks down the tough stuff in a way that actually makes sense. I felt way more confident with skills like using IBM SPSS and research methods….stuff I honestly thought I’d never get the hang of. His slides are very resourceful. Plus, the TA was really helpful too. I Highly recommend taking his class if you get the chance! If you do your best you’ll be fine. |

one of the best teachers I’ve had. I struggled a lot with PSYC 300 which is a prerequisite so I was pretty nervous about the course, but he made everything so easy to understand. His teaching style is super clear, and he breaks down the tough stuff in a way that actually makes sense. By the end of the semester, I felt way more confident with skills like using IBM SPSS and research methods—stuff I honestly thought I’d never get the hang of. I def recommend taking his class if you get the chance! I commute so sometimes I’m late but his PowerPoints included all the information needed to complete our assignments so you don’t get too left behind. |

Dr. Lemay is a great professor. I was nervous about taking a 400-level lab, but he made the class really easy to follow. Everything you need is on his slides, and everything gets posted on ELMS. I don't see how you could fail this class because he truly makes everything easy to understand and isn't hesitant to answer any questions. The lab work can sometimes be overwhelming, but following through his slides again will give you the answers you need to do that work. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who needs their credit! |

Dr. Lemay is one of the best lecturers I've had in college. I was definitely worried about understanding the material when the course started but Lemay is more than willing to explain the information if there is confusion and answer any questions. You can tell he genuinely wants his students to succeed. The lab assignments are extremely easy to follow if you attend lecture, as Lemay directly goes through everything you will have to do in the lab. I had a great experience in this class and I would recommend Lemay to everyone for this course. |

I loved this class with Dr. Lemay. I think he gets a bad rep because he is so research oriented, but considering that this is a 400 level lab, it was actually pretty breezy. Dr. Lemay posted super organized and clear guides for everything we did -- in class and in lab-- and was super open to questions. There is only one exam for this class and hos review session for that was incredible. Honestly, there should be no problem getting an A in this class if you just follow his instructions. He explains everything so well and detailed and attendance is not mandatory. Our TA, Alex Davis, was also awesome and nice and helped guide us through lab. I recommend taking this class with this TA. |

Dr. Lemay is hands down the best professor and I've had at UMD. I've learned so much from him; the way he lectures makes it easy to understand the material of the class. His slides are straightforward and he elaborates when necessary. I really appreciated that he went over the coding in class and provided guides on ELMS since it could be difficult to grasp sometimes. He is always available to discuss concepts and is quick to answer any questions I send him over email. His feedback is so helpful and he made me feel so much better about my presentation anxiety. He truly wants every student to succeed; he is so kind and will dedicate his time and effort to make sure students understand the lectures. I'm the type of students that gets nervous to approach professors with questions, but I did not feel that way at all with Dr. Lemay! He makes the classroom a comfortable and judgement-free space. If you are considering taking this class, I would highly recommend it! |

Dr. Lemay is an extremely organized and engaging professor. His lectures are interesting and easy to follow. He dedicates time during lecture to review the requirements for each major assignment in detail, which is extremely rare and demonstrates that he really wants his students to succeed in his course. The instructions for the homework and lab assignments are clearly reviewed during lecture, making this course a great lab to take, because anyone can do well as long as they just use the slides Dr. Lemay provides. The TA is also very explicit about grading and responds quickly to questions over email. Overall I would definitely recommend this course to future students! |

While this class was a good amount of work (to be expected for a 400 level lab), Professor Lemay made it a lot easier. His slides are straightforward and he always cleared things up whenever people had questions. For the lab assignments you can just follow the class demonstrations which show you exactly what to do. If you pay attention and look at the notes you'll be fine. |

This class was the absolute WORST. Took it because I thought it would be relatively easy/interesting but it was none of that. The professor's instructions are extremely unclear, and he barely gives any useful feedback. the TA does not help either. None of them will give you clear answers and you will be lost for the majority of the class. If you do not complete the assignment 100% correctly in the way he wants it, you will get points off for anything you add or do not add that he wants to see. I cannot even count the amount of times I have cried over the work assigned. Coding the research makes absolutely no sense, and that is all we do in this class. The information we are learning is equivalent to that of GRAD SCHOOL. I have never been more miserable during a semester. If you thought psyc 200 or 300 was bad, good luck with this one. Please take my advice and do not make the mistake I made, and if anyone understands this class, you've got the brain of a Harvard student. |

I took his psych 334 and 240 course. He's a great teacher. Very organized, nice and, helpful. Show up and do your work and you'll be fine. |

One of my favorite courses and professors at UMD. I learned so much about relationships in this class and it was all very interesting. |

The class is super interesting. He has a mandatory participation grade so people are all forcing questions right before spring break and the end of the semester, so it's kind of annoying. Also, he does 10 random in-class assignments but doesn't tell you when they'll be and there's no way to figure it out so you kind of always have to show up. If you miss one (like I did), your grade will drop and it will be difficult to recover because there's so few assignments. The exams are honestly more about textbook material and specific studies mentioned, so I would definitely recommend actually reading through those. Dr. Lemay is a nice and approachable seeming professor, I just wasn't really a fan of the assignment distribution and the random assignments. Also, the TAs would harshly grade the HW for literally no reason. |

Does not look like he is 47, looks A LOT younger. Good professor, posts slides before the lecture, explains thoroughly. |
