GREAT PROF! Many say he's a tough grader on papers, but I've found that if you put the necessary thought into it and PROOFREAD, its fine! Genuinely cares about students beneath his slightly sarcastic exterior! But everyone needs a little sarcasm in their lives to keep them sharp. I HIGHLY recommend him for any and all classes!

Comment:
It is really hard to express my opinion in that class. At the end of the class, I am not sure what the point of the class period was. When you take his class, make sure you know your opinion, and you aren't afraid of him making fun of you ('cause he WILL do that!)

Get off your soapbox and teach us something about the Bible. Stop making fun of your students. and whatever issues you have stop using your classroom for therapy.

amazing man. he responds on papers, doesn't just give an unmerited grade. he is always available outside classroom hours. he has a passion for what he is doing, and doesn't have intense classtimes. they're usually laid back and mostly productive.

Great prof in and out of the classroom. He is well educated, and enjoys spreading his knowledge. He is, however, a hard grader, but it is not a bad thing. It is good to see a prof that is not affraid to grade harshly when needed. All in all a great man.

Boring - the classes talk in circles. Their is no education, just a group of opinions being blurted out. Take someone else if possible.

He does not like weakness and seems to hate anyone who expresses it. He has his favorites...but I am not sure if they do better in his class or not. He likes his own views and if you disagree, you have just gotten a Worse grade. Be aware of this!
