The best professor I have ever had, by far. Made a very boring class enjoyable. He knows what he is talking about, but does not make you feel like an idiot if you don't.

Only GenED I've learned something worthwhile. The guy's just the best professor I've had, He knows his stuff, knows how to teach it and wants you to learn. Prepares you well for other classes (reading, writing, critical thinking)

Not the nicest man to talk to all the time. Very harsh grader and tests are all essays but you do get the questions ahead of time. Take if you like to write essays.

Great teacher. One of the best lecturers ever. Grading can be a little harsh, but it's an easy B. Very easy to talk to, and very smart. Cares a lot. I recommend him.

Not an easy teacher, but a very good one. Essay exams that you can get A's on directly from your notes. The class is a gen ed, so if your going to take it, take it from him.

BORING! But, the class is required... If you have to take it, take it from him. Grades pretty easy, and you always get essay q's before the exam. LOTS OF READING (although, i barely ever read and got a B.. you can bull****)
