| Overall, the class was very informative and helpful and so was the
instructor.
|
The website was very, very, very helpful and I really do not think
I would have passed this class without the help of it. The use of the website
should be continued to be used. |
The course could be improved by lowering the expectations a little
of the students because I feel as though the expectations of the students
were too harsh, as if we had already obtained degrees! |
Dr. Whatley is a good instructor with a great amount of knowledge in
his field. He just needs to realize that his students do not possess as
much knowledge about the material as he does so he should be a little more
lenient with his expectations, especially on grading papers! |
| Overall this was a good course. It opens one's eyes on how strickly
things are looked at in the psychological world. I think that the teacher
is good because he is not afraid to show the students if they are wrong.
On the flip side, maybe he should not be so hard on the papers when he
really did not elaborate too much on what he wanted in the first place. |
The website was great. The notes were on there, grade, sample
tests, ect. It was like you could be in class when you were outside
of class. |
This material is kind of hard to grasp at first. I'm not sure
if
maybe the teacher should slow down, or maybe help out a little more
by letting the students know what he wants. |
It's not cool to tell someone to do something one way, and then mark
it wrong when he/she does it. Other than that your're cool. |

Overall, the course helped me learn more about evaulating information
and how to do research. The class is a little demanding for a 3000 level
course. Some expectations should be meet in a 4000 level class. |
I felt the website gave a lot of useful information and allowed us
to do things without
coming to the professor all the time. I provided samples of the papers
and good information on how to write the papers. |
Provide samples of the homework. |
Information could be explained a little better than it is. The paper
should be explained a lot better and condensed a little more
The paper is really demanding for a 3000 level course. In the 4000
level course the papers are very little compared to this paper. This class
should be smaller so we can learn more about what we are doing in the paper
and why. |
| This was a good course, and Dr. Whatley is a good teacher. I think
the paper was graded too harshly and weighed too much toward the final
grade. |
The website was very, very beneficial. Not only were the grades posted
their in a timely manner, but we were
able to compare our grades with others in class, which is sometimes
helpful. The multiple choice quizzes were also a huge help as were the
sites for the paper and proposal. I wish that more of my teachers had a
site
like this. It was very very helpful. |

I think that the website is great as it is. I think this was a good
course and I enjoyed the lectures. The tests were based on the material
presented and sample quizzes were given as a guide. However, the APA style
paper was a little too hard for undergraduate students who are writing
APA for the first time. The grading was a little too strict, and I think
mistakes should have been pointed out for future reference, but should
not have been graded so harshly. I think the paper was a good experience
though. Dr. Whatley is a very good teacher and was always willing to help
with the paper. |
| I feel that this course was effective in providing me with a background
in Experimental Design and APA Style for my future career. However, while
the instructor offered his help, he did make students uncomfortable when
they asked questions. The instructor expected us to know and understand
most of what was presented, and if there were questions, he seemed somewhat
incredulous and condescending to the fact that we did not have the same
understanding of the material as he did. |
It was available for referencing and also allowed access to present
grades. The website was definitely an asset in this course.

N/A |
More patience with student's seemingly inane questions, as they do
not have a Ph.D. |
| This course was a lot harder than I expected. The tests weren't
so bad, but some of the questions were very tricky and deceptive - even
if you knew the answer you were likely to miss some b/c of how they were
worded, etc. The cheat sheets were nice, though! : ) I think
we needed to know some of the things we learned towards the end of class
a lot earlier in the semester. Some of the areas of the paper I didn't
really know what I was talking about or why exactly I was writing it, and
then after the paper was turned (or very close to the end) we actually
learned about it, and I figured out what was going on. |
The website was a great help. It made it alot easier to have
the lecture notes to follow along & all the samples & paper help
sections. It was also nice to know our grades at all times (well....it
wasn't always good, but helpful!)
The website gets an A+! |
Teach everything we need to know for the paper first! Things
that aren't in the paper shouild come later. Analyzing the results
section & writing the discussion - needs to be encouraged & explained
earlier in the semester!
Don't assume that we know so much!!!! Everyone didn't have the
same stats teacher, or previous knowledge, so we can't be expected to understand
what you're talking about. (Sometimes you know what you're talking
about & it makes sense, but we just don't get it b/c we haven't ever
had it before) |
I think you are a great teacher; very knowledgeable in the subject.
This was a tough course, but I do feel that I have learned a lot! |
| THIS WAS A VERY DIFFICULT COURSE!! The work load was very heavy |
The website was really helpful, when looking for assignments and examples.
Great resource. |
Can you take time to explain the assignments and not just give them
out. it is the first time we are seeing them and we don't know how to do
it and just looking at book we might not get it right. we might have a
different understanding from the way the book is describing it. |
Can you explain the information in simpler terms. It's easy for you
because you have more experience than we do. This is our first time experiencing
this. |
| Overall, this course taught me a lot. It was very tough and required
many hours of ooutside work. The instructor was available for help during
hours which were easy for me to come to. I often felt like I did not always
get answers that helped me. I also felt like I was being looked down on,
when I asked questions. |
The website was a very useful tool in this class. It helped me with
samples of work and very detailed explanations of our paper. The sample
test questions were also helpful. The chapter outlines, however, did not
help much. They were very vague and could not help me when studying for
the test. |
The paper, should be discussed before we do the experiment. Our hypothesis
should be explained before we begin writing the paper. The instructor should
explain the discusion of the paper ealier, so students had time to work
more before it's due. Sometimes I felt like the instructor taught above
our heads. He expected us to know more about the paper than we did. This
was the first research paper for many of us. It should not weigh so heavily
on our grades that it could drop it a letter grad. If a student receives
a lower grade in the course than they received on any test or homework
assignments, it seems to me that the grading scale is off. |
No. |
| Overall this course was ok. |
It help me obtain all my notes and information for the paper. |
N/A |
Maybe a better understanding of exactly what's going on with the paper. |
| He was very helpful that we were able to come to you anytime we needed
help. |
N/A |
Listening to students in the class. I would say that it may be helpful
to explain things in simpler terms, because most students do not understand
a lot of things. |
