Fall 2022 - I took Dr. Fs PSYCH 120B course but it's not listed here on Bruinwalk so I'm writing this review under 195B. This class was genuinely traumatizing. I'm a senior with a 4.0 GPA. I am not intimidated by heavy workloads or upper-division courses. However, this class was unlike any other I've experienced. Each 1.15-hour lecture comprised 100+ jam-packed slides. Dr. F would info-dump tremendously without further elaboration -- essentially he'd read off the slides. He rarely paused for questions, answered his emails, or accommodated his students. It's almost as if he ran his class on autopilot and was mentally/emotionally absent for the quarter. There was little communication between him and the TAs and the exams were difficult with little to no support from him when it came to preparing for them. This class was miserable and so were his lectures. I feel bad writing this review because he seems like a genuinely good person outside of lecture based on a couple interactions. I think he may have been going through something.
