Abnormal Psychology Lectures Dana C. Leighton

I Just started listening to this lecture series in preparation for taking a writing intensive abnormal psych class next semester and I am enjoying it a whole lot. Dr. Leighton gives a great lecture and I find him very easy to listen to and he holds my attention well. I definitely give five stars to Dr. Leighton but I'm giving an overall score of four stars because some, or maybe just one quite possibly, of the students is EXTREMELY irritating. Actually kind of glad u can't generally hear the students because somebody is just rambling on to hear themselves talk and taking up a lot of lecture time. I understand asking pointed questions to clarify something for your notes or getting involved in class discussion when invited, but interrupting the professor to express your opinions and interests in the middle of lecture is rude to the professor and to the other students that are probably much more interested in the prof's lecture than they are in yours. I'm not saying it's wrong to have a discussion about issues with the prof but please save it for after class or during their office hours. I'm sure if you bring up something that he or she feels would benefit the class they will bring it up there. Don't assume what you have to say is more important than what the prof had to say. And does anyone think Dr. Leighton sounds kind of like Dennis Miller? I think that's part of the reason I find him so enjoyable to listen to.

The only issues I really had with the podcast were that I couldn’t hear the students very good. I really like how he talked to his students about abnormal psych and how interpersonal the discussions were. He genuinely listened and validated the students feedback and gave honest straight forward replies in a very respectful and enlightening way. He also has a very laid back teaching style which made listening to the podcast very enjoyable. All around good discussion soothed my adhd brain very much :p

Very interesting podcast but i couldnt make it through one episode because the teacher saus; uummmm 1-4 times in every sentence.
