David Day

You can tell he genuinely enjoys his job and is passionate. The written assignment wasn't too bad, he was very very clear about what he wanted from it. His exams were pretty straightforward aswell, and he would tell us what to expect for the short answers (what topics they would be on). Would definitely take a class from him again, great professor

Evil.Evil.Evil!

Any but him. If more characters were allowed i'd write an essay about him. Takes him 3 minutes to form a thought of value, any psych student can see right through the innocent old guy persona he puts on. Infinite tangents that take up so much precious time, tough & unclear grading criteria and what is test material, very ego & bias-ridden. r-u-n.

Run ... or learn the hard way. Guy is just straight up not a good professor or caring human being, don't be fooled by the goofy persona. He's out to get you, driven by pure ego. Run.

Dr. Day made every lecture SO FUN, and engaging! His exams were straightforward, and in the last lecture before each exam, he goes over all the possible short-answer questions, making it easy to get a good score. He is extremely helpful during office hours and helped me improve on the tests.

Nobody feels to engage in class as he's extremely passive aggressive, leading me to not even try going to his office hours. Confused all semester, unclear feedback on assignments, brief lectures and heavy textbook.

Dr. Day's an engaging lecturer! Test questions are mostly from the textbook. There are also a few questions exclusively from lectures. I found the assignments harder to do well in (got A+s on the tests but assignments were marked stringently by the TAs). Try to schedule a one-on-one to ask what they're looking for (esp first assignment).

Dr. Day is not nearly as terrible as most of these reviews make him out to be. It is true that he tends to go on tangents and gets side-tracked a lot, but his tests are NOT hard. Just read the textbook and you'll do perfectly fine.

Although I can see how Dr. Day wouldn't be great in a large class, he is excellent for seminars. The structure of the class really made me feel like I was learning something as we were heavily encouraged to participate. Attendance is mandatory, as it would be with any seminar. The big class project was super fun and not stressful at all.

There's a lot of harsh reviews on professor day but honestly I'd disregard them specifically if taking his advanced social psychology seminar. I feared the idea of a seminar all throughout school and the structure of his class made it super easy. He's very blunt, at times comes of rude, but I think he's a genuine guy who knows what he's teaching
