1 word, BORING. Does this guy have a pulse? I'm taking this guy now and I dread going to class because I fear the torture of his monotone voice and lack of any personality whatsoever. I agree with a lot stated above - obviously,the "boring" aspect like i just got through saying, the fact that he is pretty rude when he answers questions, and his tests have the a&b, b&d bs all over. He seems to like picking on this one guy, who seems like a wuss but a genuinely nice guy, because he always answers his questions more rudely than normal e.g. (slight chuckle) "Like I said twice already blah blah blah". I mean Christ sorry if we're not experts on praying mantis courtship rituals and bat echolocation like you are, but just answer the question without the pretentiousness. Anyway, I managed to pull of an A- on the midterm, and that's because there is one accurate positive thing about him in these reviews - his lecture outlines are money. Anyone who tells you otherwise is apparently too stupid to pull of a good grade by meticulously studying his notes. Look, if you know his notes well, you should at least get a B. Have a Beautiful Day, and if you have to take Roverud, it'll seem like you're Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of, but Elevation of your study skills will allow you to Walk On with a good grade, and you'll be flying high like a Kite. If you're completely clueless by this previous line, you must be a hermit.

Winter 2024 - Trott is my favorite professor. If he teaches a class, just go ahead and take it. He is understanding, patient, and if you care to build a bond with him he will do the same. Psych 118 with him was the move. 3 exams each 25%, not cumulative, 15% assignments (x2) , 10% weekly summaries. The class is definitely loaded with content, but all I can recommend is paying attention in class. That is really all you need to do to understand-- listen and ask questions in class (he always happily answers them). Take this class! It was tough, but it was worth it. I am selling my notes for this class, contact me at ********** if interested. I also sell notes for LS7C, LS7B, LS7A, Psych 120A, Psych 115, Psych 110, Psych 119Y, Psych 127A, and Psych 10.
