“I like your website overall and the blog is especially interesting and entertaining”(Yeah, ain't it? And now you're contributing to it!)
“Considering that this was the first time this course is being taught, there is still room for improvement”(Yeah, I agree.)
“I wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone unless they had an interest in psychology behavior mgmt.”(So, the theme here is: You can't please everyone. Or anyone?)
“I only wish there were more higher level courses specifically dealing with Behavioural Modification techniques”
“Dr. Loepelmann is very good with time management.”(OK, people, you're giving me a headache. It's hard to know what to take away from this...)
“- Used class time inefficiently
- Gave no feedback
- Objectives and expectations were vague
- Telling jokes does not equate to being a good teacher”
“The best organized course I have ever taken in my 3+ years of post-secondary. If Karsten was the bar at which all other instructors needed to meet, the UofA would be in serious trouble. It’s so nice to have an enthusiastic extremely knowledgeable prof who isn’t riddled with cynicism and sarcasm.”
“This was a good course, + I learned a lot from it. However, it wasn’t extremely challenging, which was nice, but also made it easier to make this class less of a priority.”(You gotta do what you gotta do.)
“Overall, I loved Dr. Loepelmann. He was really enthusiastic and I greatly looked forward to class. I have received knowledge on a practical way to improve my life through this course.”(O...kay. I'll...try...to...be more...[yawn]...enthusiastic.)
“You’re a very enthusiastic prof, you make class a lot more interesting”
“The teacher could be a lot more enthusiastic. He seemed tired and did the bare minimum to explain concepts. Try to be more creative!”
“I liked the many videos shown in class and the numerous case studies and research projects incorporated into the notes; they made it easier to see how material taught in this course can be applied in practical, real-life situations”(Thanks. It's these kinds of comments that make me think I've got the best job in the world.)
“The self-management project was a terrific addition to the class. I was a little stressed about it, but once I got into it I realized how valuable it was helping bring all the theory we were learning to life.”
“Ultimately, I thought the course material was great. I applied some shaping and fading when I taught my piano students some techniques. For me, this is probably one of the many classes that I have taken that I can apply to life.”
“Much of the material in class was not applicable to real life situations. I found that when I left class, little of the material could be translated to situations outside of a lab or classroom.”
“If anything could be changed I would suggest making the self-management project out of more % towards the final grade.”(Thanks for that feedback; I am considering changing that.)
“This course makes me want to drink at 11am. Prof is good though”(Drink? Drink what? Red Bull? Coffee? Oh, that kind of drinking. Is that a good thing? Party on!)
“We need to watch more videos of animals doing tricks”(Wait, was it the videos of animals doing tricks that was a waste? Or was it the videos of my last vacation? Please be specific.)
“Some videos we watched in class seemed like a waste”
“You’re so cute”(No I'm not. I have zero chili peppers on RateMyProfessors.com. Therefore, I am not cute. Well, at least, I'm not hot. And I'm okay with that. I wouldn't want my dazzling hotness to distract anyone.)
“Who was the fattest knight at King Arthur’s Round Table? Sir Cumference”(A math joke? It'll do. Here's one for you: Where do math teachers go on vacation? To Times Square!)
“Will you merry [sic] me?”(Because merry is not a verb, I'll assume you mean marry. My wife wouldn't like that. But thanks for the thought, dude.)
“Yo dawg, you be straight flexin’”(Thanks to Google, I understand your meaning. I mean, Word!)
Why aren't you studying?
