Very knowledgeable and helpful. Excellent personality. He makes classes very interesting. I took this course more than 3 years ago and I still remember everything I learn in that course. Excellent professor. I wish I had taken more courses with him.

My schedule blew this semester and I looked forward to this class every single day as basically 50 minutes where I could just hang out with friends. I got to know everyone in the class pretty well and it was an easy A. Be sure to raise your hand though, he marks down every time you speak. He's a real cool dude.

Laurence is a fabulous person, with all sorts of great insight, and a wonderful personality. Our class had the best chemistry of any group I've been a part of at Penn State, and it was largely his doing that we all got along so nicely; he facilitated discourse really well. He's hilarious too, which is a plus.

He is hilarious, he really makes the class interesting and fun. But sometimes his exams are not based on a material that we reviewed so much. He tends to have issues with some spanish words which is funny cause he is a spanish teacher.

Comment:
Not the greatest class: tons of readings, difficult to keep up. He moves though too much material too fast making it hard to learn anything. Exams a fairly simple. If you don't attend every class it is hard to keep up with things. There is a research paper that was a huge hassle.

Prescott is a great professor. I always enjoyed going to class. He gives GREAT, thorough, detailed explanations of the stories read in class, and there is a nice balance between grammar, and readings. His exams are not difficult at all if you prepare yourself well. Be prepared to participate in class, because he will call on w/o hand raised:)

Very hard, struggled for a C. Difficult to gauge which information will be on a test. I dreaded going. Oral presentation required.

Fun and interesting class, nice guy. Exams aren't too hard if you read everything, pay attention in class, and fill out the review sheets.
