Tufts University: Phillip Holcomb - Psychology - Professor ratings, reviews and much more | JumboAccess
Review:
Because how a professor presents the material is so important in a lecture class, I will certainly hesitate to give Holcomb two thumbs up in Intro to Psych. His section of the course, Abnormal Psychology, is very interesting, but somehow, he managed to make it drier than I thought anyone could. He is not a poor teacher by any means, but in a lecture format, he does not provide any motivation for the student to want to go to class. Perhaps he might be better in a smaller class environment?
Workload:
Intro had three tests (one per each professor's unit) and a final, lowest grade dropped. I FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY THAT THEY DO NOT ROUND UP, EVEN IF YOU ARE .49% AWAY FROM ANOTHER GRADE LEVEL. In Holcomb's section, you should do the textbook reading because he gets you on some questions which appear only in the text.
