He's very funny. Goes off topic A LOT. A little inappropriate, but smart and caring. He's super passionate about what he teaches.

Comment:

He can seem to go off topic, but trust me the stories have a purpose to what he is teaching. He gives a real life experience that he had to help with the understanding of the topics. The class was pretty straightforward. As long as you pay attention and take notes you will do well. He's pretty funny too!

Comment:

he goes off topic A LOT, most of the stuff he talks about you're not sure if you should write it down or not. He tells lots of stories and can usually make the class laugh, tests are hard if you don't catch the important stuff. I suggest going to the class even if you don't have to.

Great guy, amazing professor. The class is easy as long as you listen when he talks. Reviews things a million times so it's impossible not to pass. Really funny and laid back with a great outlook on life that will spread

Comment:

He goes off topic a lot, but he's chill. The class isn't difficult, but it's important to pay attention because he only tests his students on important things and if you don't understand the concept, it's easy to fail. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I suggest going. You will learn a lot from this class. Maybe not about social work, but about life.

2 Exams 1 short term paper and 1 final...He gives you the questions before the exam. He goes off topic A LOT! Class attendance isn't mandatory but you need to be there in order to take notes so I highly suggest going! I don't recommend him unless you take good notes.

Comment:

Not a difficult grader so the content of the class is easy. However he tends to talk about himself a lot. Information that seems to be shared to inflate his ego. He lost a paper I had given him in order to graduate> i drove to school to try to fix the situation he found it on his messy desk. No apology or acknowledgement of my time.

He's great! The class is easy...he tells you exactly what he expects. His lectures may seem kind of random, but its all worth while. He's a big reason I changed my major to Social Work.

Great professor! Makes sense, tends to get off topic.. but knows wut he's talkin about. He is very fair, but don't get on his bad side. Like to have class discussions, just do the work given and try your hardest and he would never fail you! Great man, Exce
