Comment:

Worst teacher ever. However, if you humor him and stay on his good side you will get a good grade. Simply put: dont bother doing the work (quizzes and tests too hard, presentations are a waste) just tell him he lost the work or that he really gave you an A and forgot to record it. worked for me.

Comment:

Absolutely should not be teaching. One time on a quiz, asked the question of "Who is *person's name*?" It was the name of the mother of a philosopher that we read about. Easy question, but absolutely irrelevent. Quizzes were not any better than that. Only memorable lecture was the time that he went on about different types of liquor in class.

Comment:

I was scared when i heard about him, but now that i am in his class i love him! Even though he is old he knows whats going on. He has a good sense of humor too. Just do your work and he will leave you alone.

Comment:

I had him for statistics which I am glad to see he is apparently not teaching anymore. I never heard him berate people as other have mentioned but I truly believe he is going deaf, blind and senile. Mumbles, studders, talks in circles, not a coherent sentence comes from his mouth. Avoid if you can.

Comment:

He should be fired, but can't cause he is a brother. He failed me due to missing class for athletically excused events. He mummbles and stutters through his entire class. Any little motion distracts the hell out of him. Avoid like the plague.

This was the worst class I have ever taken.Failed many in the class for no reason. You are not allowed to have your own viewpoint. Tests are unfair, and ment to frustrate you. Said cruel things to students.
