Comment:
I took Professor Fort in 1986 and he was by far my favorite . I have ADD and he was perfect for keeping my attention. He made learning interesting, he's entertaining, compassionate, and TAUGHT the material. Never a dull moment for one to distract with this brilliant man running around the room. I wonder if he stills bounces around as much?

Comment:
Interesting teacher, he likes to use alternative methods and is very understanding, but he is maddening to listen to as he is pretty full of himself and is extremely over the top. I questioned his ideas openly in class at times, he wasn't offended and was open to my ideas. Be open minded but don't take everything he says for the truth. No easy A's.

Mr. Fort is the best teacher at Cobleskill. He is so intelligent and well informed. He teaches us about the important things going on in our screwed up world, the only people that seem to have a problem with him are close-minded hicks. No joke. He definitely keeps students awake with his passionate lessons. Makes a 3 hr class go by in a flash!

Seems to tell you about info, may not always be what you want to hear, but he tells it how it is. Seems to go off on one topic for an hour which isn't too bad:)

"Japanese Jim" was one of my favorite teachers. He says things that aren't always comfortable to hear, but it gets you thinking about things. Be sure to separate what is fact from what his opinion is...

Why everyone likes Mr. Fort so much I'll never understand; he's certifiably nuts, lies about statistics on a regular basis, and loves to play favorites. He's infamous for throwing things and kicking desks for absolutely no reason. With being said, his class is incredibly easy and an easy GPA booster
