really nice guy, if you show effort the test grades don't even really matter that much. he gives you answers on tests and if you go to the Language Lab and at least sign in yewl get at least a B.

Comment:

one of the most rudest professors ever when he is in a bad mood. will go out of his way to bring a student down and call them out. dont take this class if u dont have to. he is extremely boring and a nasty guy.

Extremely nice guy, very funny as well. He always makes jokes, although classes are usually monotonous and boring. On tests he does give answers but don't get too used to them for the final. He offers lots of extra help. Take him!

Sweet man, and very willing to work with you during office hours. Tests are standard, from the book. But you'll get the gist after the first one. As long as you show an effort you will get a decent grade.

Comment:

Don't be fooled by previous comments. He'll give you answers to tests all year...until you get to the final and hangs you out to dry. Don't get used to his help, or you'll be screwed in the end. I also don't really think he cares about his students. I called him once for help, and he hung up on me-I lost my scholarship because he wudnt help me.

Hard tests but if you ask for help he will give you the answers. Class is kind of boring-- all conversation. Attendance and being on time for class is a MUST! Good guy, wants you to do well. Good teacher!
