Comment:

A good story-teller (although so often off topic) and has knowledge of the brain, but that's about it. In a course on instructional strategies, I expected him to demonstrate them more. Highly disorganized. Also, being told to just breathe and you'll get an A, no thanks. NO feedback on assignments is disrespectful. A+ a joke and why he's popular.

I would like to retake some of the classes so I could really learn the stuff. I am sorry that I got him at the end of my course. He is worth the tuition and has a great sense of humor as well as being very interesting to listen to.
