Easiest class. A few easy papers throughout the semester. If you write anything that makes sense, you will get nothing less than a B. Just get assignments from people and you never have to go to class.

Comment:

Such a waste of time. He's not clear on his lectures and he just rambles on. He'll never keep you more than 40 minutes and a lot of time we've gotten out after a half hour. You really don't have to go to class but just get the assignments from people because you'll have a short essay due a lot. Basically take this class if you want to do nothin

Comment:

I dont know how hes still teaching because hes so old. But he is a nice guy and not too hard of a teacher. Class is boring and pointless to go to but it is worth it to get an A. He isnt the best at articulating anything at all nor is he clear with assignments. But you can get around all of it and still do well if youre willing to put up with him

Comment:

Mumbles a lot and class drones on but he encourages students to think for themselves. Very free class that allows students to speak their minds. No tests but lots of papers that need a lot of thought. Final is just two papers. Make sure to voice your opinion.

If you want to learn something don't take him. But if you want a class you never have to go to, this is the class for you. Nice guy but extremely boring.

Comment:

No attendance policy, boring class to sit through - it's the same lecture every single day. Make sure to participate in class or else class will seem never ending. He is a nice guy, however is not the most clear regarding assignments.

Comment:

This is the absolute most boring class you could ever take. There is no attendence or late policy which is great but I still do not reccommend this class. He looks for very specific things and without them you do not do well.

He is a very intelligent professor, but not so great at teaching. No attendance policy. No tests. Mostly papers, which he looks for specifics and your own interpretation. I reccomend.
