Very jolly, and a fun class! Not to much reading, and very fair tests. Sometimes he goes off topic in his lectures, but it makes it more interesting
Bonvillian is a sweet cute old man. but gets so off topic telling stories that make no sense. Tests can be challenging and most material come form text books.
Lots of reading, tests are straightforward, and he's an interesting guy. Worth taking if you want an introductory psych class
straightforward tests, crazy lectures. go to lecture, take notes, read chapter reviews, and you'll cruise
This class was excellent, people complain that Professor Bonvillian goes off on tangents too often but his stories are always funny and interesting. He loves what he teaches! There is a substantial amount of reading, but it's definitely manageable.
Bonvillian's class was awesome. He's a great guy and he knows all these interesting stories about famous psychology people that you learn in class (like Mary Ainsworth!) His tests are based upon lectures, so definetly go to class, especially since you're not going to get notes any other way! He doesn't use powerpoints, or anything similar. He has outlines, but those are handwritten and he won't post them online. But really, his classes were enjoyable!
a lot of people complain that bonvillian spends too much time on stories, but they definitely make the class interesting-he knows a lot about child psych and the class is definitely worth it!!
Go to the lectures and you will know almost everything for the test.
