In addition to his filmmaking duties and research in the field of sleep deprivation, Maas teaches the largest single lecture course in the nation. The introductory psychology course, which he has taught since 1964, packs 2,000 students into Cornell's Bailey Hall -three times a week. He says that some 200 hopefuls are turned away each year for lack of space.

Maas chalks up the course's sue- cess to his conversational style and love and command of his subject matter. He has long used visual aids in his teaching, and believes that the multitude of slides and film clips that he uses' in his lectured bring a real-world flavor to the class.
