Comment:
It starts out that this teacher looks promising...don't be fooled. He may seem nice at first but when it comes to a time when you have a problem or are trying to clear up any misunderstanding, it seems like this guy couldn't care any less. Just really be careful with this guy. He can be very difficult to get along with.

Extraordinarily easy. I have no idea why so few people got got an A in this class. Study vocabulary, and chapter summaries. There are no surprises on tests.

I hated this class! He is such a nice person but I don't like him as a teacher. He dislikes it very much if you disagree with his beliefs and he lets it affect his grading. Tests are ridiculously easy but he grades speeches very hard!

Enjoyable. He is a stitch. Really funny. Just stay on his good side. Make sure you read for the class and choose a group in time so you are not scrambling around at the last minute.

A real class act! I consider this teacher to be my mentor even 20+ years after launching my own career. UCF AND Lithuania will miss his wit, intelligence and uncompromising standards.

Comment:
Avoid Group Dynamics if possible. He is really cocky and rude and tests are hard. It is required to study a group outside of class over the semester and write a 12 pg term paper..which is really strict in criteria but helped me get a C in the class(C-is failing. Overall,this class was very stressful

His tests are hard and have questions on them that don't highlight the "points." I would stay away from his class if it is possible

He's kind of aggressive and egotistical. He makes a 1600 level much harder than it should be. I would suggest getting a different teacher if all possible.

Comment:
Nice friendly guy, a little quirky. Gets to know all his students, and tells you what he wants. My only beef with him is that he is a nit-picker, and you have to work hard for an A. He does NOT make you video tape or write evaluations. Gives optional fina

Totally plays favorites, will embarrass you in class in a heartbeat. He can be very arrogant, pompous and cocky. His tests are a huge challenge, if you study you will do well. One on one he is a great guy, in class a totally different person.

Injects political commentary into lectures (uses lecturn as personal political forum.) Rude and arrogant. Very inflexible. Likes to talk, does not listen well.

Not recommended!! Very biased towards those who suck up to him. Tends to grade on whether or not he likes you. Rude and not helpful at all.

I used to enjoy speaking in front of groups, not now. His approach to grading speeches is personally biased, subjective, & demoralizing. Not helpful at all in one-on-one conferences. After 30 some odd years of instructing he ought to be able to offer some

Nicest guy in the world. Too bad his class sucks. His grading is simply ridiculus. I would not recommend this teacher to anyone. His ideas of what you should just do are opinions of his anyways! I barely got a B in that class and i have never got a c in m

Grades speeches on rubric that should be reserved for majors only. I never disliked speaking in public until I took his class. You can make an "A" as long as you take the Final and attempt all of the speeches. BTW he grades on a plus-minus scal

I got an A because I took the optional exam at the end of the class, whereas 90% of the class didn't show up. He has a lot of concern for people. When I was feeling sick, he found me after class and asked if I was okay because I didn't look well.

Impossible to get an A. I also thought his grading of speeches was biased. He can be rude and cocky. Not worth the B for a Gen Ed class.
