Additional Comments
Bruni's class is the deciding factor in the field of psychology. If you come out with a good grade, congratulations. If not, repeat it and hope for better next time, or just change your major. The class is rather difficult, as there is a lot of information. The two classes are put together, and Bruni focuses mainly on statistics. The experimental part is fairly self-explantory. Reading (and many times, re-reading), doing the homework, taking good notes, and asking questions are the keys to passing. Don't get cocky and expect a good grade with no effort. Also, don't get intimidated by all the horror stories you hear about Bruni. Although he can have a bad temper at times, he makes the class fun. A lot of times he singles out people to "pick on." Don't take offense to it. He'll also delve into students' personal lives as well as his own. Nothing too deep or embarassing though. He bases some of the classes around applying the complex procedures and concepts to more down-to-earth, practical, and personal subjects. And, as intimidating as he may seem, he is always there to help. He might as well live in his office. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask him. He'll take as much time as he can to help you understand something. You may get things explained in weird metaphors that sound irrelevant, but pay attention. Almost everything he says applies to something down the road. There will come a point when you have to write/present a research experiment. It is very difficult, but he will help you. Don't think you can do it all on your own. You'll wish you had went to him when you give your presentation. Overall the class has been well worth the challenge. Oh yeah...just one more little thing: Bruni's time is Bruni's time. Cell phones will get you kicked out, doing other homework will get you kicked out, talking with others about things that do not pertain to class will get you kicked out, etc. You don't want your time interrupted or wasted, and Bruni doesn't either. I reccomend Bruni to those who want to learn and aren't afraid to go through hell and back to get ahead. It may be a lot of work, but it all pays off in the end.
