Comment:

Such a boring class but not too bad to fill a gen-ed. Never read the book. He writes all the notes you need to know on the board. Six, 10-question quizzes-drops the lowest one, two 5-page papers, one informal presentation, a midterm, and a final. He gives the essay questions beforehand. Nice guy but the topic can be confusing at times.

Comment:

Awesome professor! This was definitely the most worthwhile class ive taken at Towson. My thoughts and views on so many subjects have changed after this class. He gives 3 tests, which he gives the essay questions before hand, and one easy 5 page paper. I never studied for more than an hour and got an A. Take good notes, and you'll do fine.

Gives you test questions before test (2 essays, give you choice to choose from). Horrible speaker, WAY TO LOW! Really nice though. Don't have to try hard. Just go to class, let him know you, and you will pass.

So d@#n nice, but so very boring. Easy A or B+ for anyone. 2 case study summaries, 2 tests, 5 multiple choice quizzes. Not bad, just boring. He's a good guy though. Will discuss his newborn baby for the first 5 weeks.

Comment:

The hardest part of this class was staying awake during the lectures. He talks really softly and gets into some pretty boring stuff. Nice guy though, and as long as you take good notes, the tests are a breeze. I didn't do any of the reading and did fine.

Very nice guy. Two tests, a 5 page term paper, and a final. Tests consist of multiple choice questions and two essays. Class can get boring, but go to every class and participate some and the tests should be a breeze.

Easy teacher. Very soft spoken. Quizzes were easy but annoying. The group project is easy, and so are the case analysis. The class itself is so boring, I didn't really learn much. He gave out review sheets for the midterm and final.

Comment:

So, so, so, so, so boring! It's like watching grass grow. He's a nice guy though. Just not cut out for teaching. Alot of work for a Gen-Ed/ elective class. 3 Exams, 2 Case Analyses, 6 Quizzes, and 1 Group Presentation. Can barely sit with my eyes open. I sit making to do lists all class and staring out the window. Stutters a bit too! Good Luck!

A very nice man who is willing to help you as much as possible. He is very soft spoken and cares about your grades. 2 or three exams and a final, plus a paper. A good GenEd class to take to get it out of the way. Just come to class because he takes attendance.

basic class. 3-4 major exams, 1 major paper, a few short quizzes. counts attendance. as long as you show up and pay attention you can pass very easily, even if you dont really do the readings. excellent class if you need something easy. really nice guy, talks softly, but sometimes goes on tangents.

Super nice guy! He talks softly and takes attendance. Not many opportunities to get points. Lenient grader and kind of a pushover. Essay exams, but they are easy b/c he gives you the questions before hand. Will help with anything anyway he can.

Comment:

Great techer. Takes time to explain anything you don't understand. Test are all essays, but he tells you which ones will show up, but makes you pick 2 out of the 3. He speaks so calmly. I got an A, didnt go to class often, but read from the text
