Comment:

Needs to be fired. Worst history professor at Messiah. First had Norris, when he filled in for Lawrence during her maternal leave. Didn't follow her syllabus, and docked me points for things that were not to be graded on. Other classes were just as bad, teaches from poorly thought out lectures. Not Knowledgable at all, not organized, not clear.

requirements were never handed out for the papers, he was never available for out of class help, and i don't appreciate paying a teacher who does nothing but show videos.

Comment:

This professor is one of the worst I've ever taken. He is sweet and personable and willing to help students, but a terrible teacher. Really needs to get a handle on using technology. Cute kids, though.

Eh... what can i say? Definitely NOT the best with multimedia (takes the first 20 min to set things up!), and not the most interesting at 8 AM, but... very nice man. He even brought us icecream on the last day of class! Willing to help you if you t

The best professor ever...very smart and personable...I love my class period with him. It doesn't feel like a class yet I work and learn material. He is a man's man and a manly man. And yes, HE IS 40!

Very laid back although a little random. It's an easy A, but you can still learn from him. Take him!

Hmmm, where to start? Well, he sounds like he doesn't care about the subject matter, just not a good public speaker. Knows enough, but doesn't communicate well.

He's not a bad teacher, but he's not exactly great either. He can be pretty hilarious sometimes, though. If you want the easy A in a history course, take him!

Worst professor I have had in college. Seemingly arbitrary in EVERYTHING he does. Class is like a circus. Learn more from watching the history channel. Will NEVER take him again!! AWFUL!
