Research methods is certainly not the most exciting class you can take, but it's mandatory, at least for comm majors. If you have to take it, I would recommend taking it with Professor Haselton. The reading material is dry, but she did her best to provide examples and analogies to help you learn. She shared her research on relationships and applied them to the course. Evolutionary psychology is an interesting field of study, and Haselton introduces some ideas in her methods class. Besides the studies on relationships, the class discussions were best. Haselton's TA, Elizabeth, is amazing! She was always willing to help you with your research proposal paper, which is a good assignment btw, and has a million ideas to give you if you can't come up with your own. Back to Haselton though, she is extremely organized, though I don't remember the last time a professor used overheads. They are helpful because she posts them online afterwards. She lectures well and clearly, but it almost seems like she's too nice. It shouldn't take a class as long as it did to settle down. Haselton should be more assertive in that regards. And the tests. I personally thought the questions, multiple choice and short answer/essay, were completely fair. Nothing was a surprise or worded funny, but straightforward. About the class, it was somewhat strange because there were so few guys, but I suppose that is the comm student body. Also, as others have noted, Haselton is probably one of the best looking professors on campus. Man, she never had a bad hair day...ever.
