Comment:
He is seriously under-rated as a teacher. He is old school and isn't trendy or touchy-feely. The under-25 students are too full of themselves to appreciate this. He doesn't shy away from confronting or challenging students' views, and he'll step on toes to make his point. Outside of class, he's extremely sincere, helpful and personable.

Comment:
He has much experience to share and is more rigourous in his marking/lecturing than other education profs. Jocks expecting Hoop-Jumping 101 will be in for a surprise. Students need to learn how to write and think for themselves. He will reward critical thinking. He is very helpful outside of class, but why should he tolerate whiners in class?

Comment:
Travis knows the education curriculum is inane, so he does things his own way. It's one of the only classes in education where you get some intellectual stimulation. He a little eccentric, but interesting, nonetheless. Get past his early irreverence, have a chat with him and you will see.

Wowzers, you GOTTA transfer outta this class. This semester all but 3 students got out ASAP after attending three lectures- that should speak for itself! If you don't transfer, at least bring a good book, some homework, or a pillow!

Seriously, this guy needs to be fired. The only reason he teaches at all is due to the practice of tenure. He belongs far away, mucking out a chicken farm. His course is worthless. Don't take it. Totally self-agrandizing, with nothing to say.

Possibly theworst teacher in history. Interesting how his office is in the stairwell away from everyone else in his department. Are they trying to send him a message? Evidently he doesn't get it.

This guy is a farce. First, he sells us his own book and it's crap. Second, he thinks that he's the brightest guy on earth. I learned nothing.

This guy's a bit of a joke. All he does is quote himself in class. He handed my paper back with stains and burns marks all over b/c he spilled beer on it and then tried to dry it with a hairdryer (true story). Pretty nice guy though.

He's hilarious. If you sit back and relax, do your writings, and just enjoy the ride. Talk to the man out side of class. Live for lacunae.
