Comment:

by far the worst class i ever sat in, when i could muster up the desire to go which was not often. gave books inpossible to find and then gave the most general paper assignements only to grade them terribly.

Comment:

I took him for fall 04 and he was absent constantly he picked on the students and was always late to class. He forgot what he was talking about 95% of the time he actually started to teach. He was very arrogant and I can honestly say I learned nothing but I got a B in the class. It depends on if he likes you or not.

this class was disorganized as can be. he canceled class 6 times. we had to read 4 books and we only got through 1/4 of one. he gave us two papers (which he didnt even remember assigning). one time someone was giving a presenation and he got up in the middle of class and left. this guy is a joke!!

Comment:

This man is a joke, and a complete farce at best. I'm not quite sure what this man did on his jungle adventures, but I don't know anything about the course besides his continual political jawing about green causes. I frankly feel stupider for being in his class.

Comment:

You really should have an interest in the subject b4 taking this. He is a flake whose grading process is ridiculously unclear. He'll only like you if you participate. He forgot about my conference, and stayed on the phone during half of my other conference. His students are not his priority!!

very unorganized, no structure once so ever. This class drives me insane. His stories are cool, and he'd be a cool guy to talk too..but not a good professor.
