Extremely boring professor and just as rude/unkind. Don't take him unless you want to go back and forth via email.

The lectures are long and boring, and the tests are hard. He is hard to understand sometimes, and there are no other points in the class besides the tests.

Super old guy with really boring lectures. But, I studied and did the readings with friends and we all got above 100 in the class

Professor Heyman is a good guy with good intentions, but if you are not a psychology major and have not taken AP Psychology in high school, do not take his class. He has the most boring lectures I have ever been a part of and the exams are extremely difficult. Avoid this class.
