I did not like the lecture, but I did like the information. The lecture consisted of him talking about his powerpoint and showing alot of videos. I often fell asleep because the class is so cut and fry and straight forward. His tests were mostly derived from the powerpoint and the tests were kind of tricky. This class confirmed what people say about into classes being some of the hardest.
Awful, awful class. While the subject matter can be interesting at times, unfortunately your grade doesn't depend on the big-picture items; more often than not, how well you do well on the tests is based off of how many irrelevant details you can remember, present in either two words in the PowerPoint or one sentence from the book. Rote memorization never makes for a good, interesting, or worthwhile class.
Dodson has the possibility of being a good professor, but I can't judge that based upon a class where he simply reads off PowerPoints (no reason to attend class whatsoever - they're posted on Collab even before he lectures on them).
I agree with the guy below me; Dodson does just read off of the slides. I fell asleep in this class multiple times and still got an A, as you didn't really need to attend lectures. Reading the book isn't really necessary either as it goes into more detail than you need for the tests. I would still probably go to lecture because a few of his slides require some explanation. You get one drop test, and I'm not really sure how much he curves for the class. That being said, I was considering being a psyc major but this class kinda killed it for me. You learn some interesting things but overall I had a mediocre experience.
