Comment:

I've had him for 4 different classes and he has always been great. it really depends on the course whether or not you need to do the textbook reading, but it is basically a guarantee he will replace the midterm and final exam with presentations and papers. he really is extremely kind and thoughtful--a great guy.

Extremely knowledgeable and always very kind. He makes students feel really comfortable in class and graciously answers all questions. Latin was really difficult but he was such a great professor I didn't want to let him down so I stuck with it!

I love Dr. Bird - he is so knowledgable and interesting. The pace of the course was not as structured or as disciplined as it could have been.

Incredibly fun in his classes, you learn interesting factoids and get to listen to Dr. Bird talk in his New Zealand accent. He often incorporates the piano into his classes. Makes for fun and interesting classes.

Though his grading is capricious, he is a really interesting teacher. Just don't expect that he will necessarily read your papers!
