Comment:

He is a great professor! The senior seminar was great.. everyone in class got to know each other. Professor was very supportive in what we wrote about and provided great insight. Not too difficult, just 2 papers (quite long I must admit) and a presentation (30 mins). Overall, good experience. I was shy but you'll get over it!

Comment:

What a totally boring and pointless class. When he wasn't spending 1hr 45 on a "brief" author bio, he was quoting books and article that we weren't suppose to read nor had access to. I had heard this guy was great but I just didn't see it.

Comment:

What a great teacher, anyone who does not agree has no appreciation for the techniques he uses in teaching. He also knows his subject really well, that is more than I can say for a lot of teachers.

Mostly excellent reading materials but a lot of writing for a lower-division course (2 ten page papers). Very clear lectures. Dug the class.

He knows his stuff, but seriously lacks presentation charisma.
