Comment:

If by "best" you mean "easy," then OK. If by "best" you mean "unprincipled," then OK. If by "best" you mean "no show," then OK. But if by "best" you mean "quality education," think long and hard again. He gave grades away in exchange for good evaluations. That doesn't make him good, only popular. I took his class to learn, I was cheated.

Comment:

HE was a good teacher. HE left in the middle of our semester and we got either teacher. I think everyone passed because he left in the semester and the other teacher had to start over. So if you failed this semester you was just stupid. You was given a C just if you made an effort to show up everyda

Comment:

He seems like a great professor at first but totally screwed up our whole classes grades! You would think two 100's on tests and high participation would enable you to receive an A, but I got a C. He said he based on a curve(only 4 people got A's) but never said it in the throughout the class!

Comment:

He is a very helpful professor. He is willing to give one on one time anytime you need it. It's an easy A or B as long as you do the readings. He does not take attendance, but you have to participate in class because it's part of your grade. You have many other assignments to help balance your grade

Comment:

Don't expect to get grades back.I made a B, but I never saw my grades.Final paper is a joke.He gets so far behind on grading that there is NO way he could grade all of the papers.He's a bit odd, but thorough.Weekly questions are so easy, just phrase the last sentence of each chapter as a question.

Comment:

Great instructor. He makes the class enjoyable and works hard to connect with the students. He is knowledgeable about the material and if you take good notes and do the readings you will do well. Weekly quizzes, extra credit available. He challenges his students, he is tough, but fair.

He is a great guy. Very smart and very funny. He really wants you to learn and pass his class. He is very knowledgable about Latin America. Take him in the Fall or Spring because there is too much to cover in the Summer. Plus, he's a cutie!

He'll GIVE you a good grade even if you don't learn anything. Extra credit is practically forced on you. What a joke of a class.

He's a little on the different side. The tests are hard. I failed the mid term. I hope I pass the final. He's a good teacher though.
