Comment:

Not a helpful teacher. To do well on his tests, you must listen to EVERY WORD out of his mouth. But don't worry, because he repeats the same phrases multiple times in a row. So aggravating.

Tim is an awesome teacher. He uses examples to help students make the connection to things for easy remembering. The people who say he is rude and mean are the people who slack off and who can't take hearing the truth about life. Tim has done nothing but complement me on my hard work. He is a great, knowledgeable man.

He is a great professor. You can learn alot from him if you take the chance to listen. Most people think that you can blow off his classes but you cant. If you do the work and do the hours he will respect you. Thats how a person can do well with him. All of the people that have rated him poorly were probably lazy and did not do the work.

love this man. People think he's mean because they dont know the man and most likely took this class for an easy grade. He is in fact very helpful especially if you are in the department. You dont have to take his class but know the man if Theatre is your major.

Had to show up to class. As long as you go to the plays, you get 100 on the quizes. As long as you study the notes, the test is basically an exact replica. Downside: a lot of notes.

Comment:

Extremely rude and VERY condescending. He knows everything you, know nothing. If you can swallow that then you might be okay. Talks negatively about people behind their backs. Quite unprofessional. Talks endlessly about anything but theatre and pushes his very liberal agenda. This is not a political science course. Waste of my time & money!

Comment:

He isn't that bad of a teacher if people just listen to what he says and then do just that. He can be very straightforward and tends to speak his mind but that is what makes class interesting.

Definately have to show up to class. Have to have every single lab hour done or you will fail. Not very professional, like's to talk about people behind their backs, as well as to their face.

Comment:

I really like this professor because he has clear, easy to understand directions. I don't know why so many people are saying bad things about him. Just go to class and follow directions. The tests aren't too hard, you just have to take decent notes. I think he is very fair-if you are a slacker, it shows in your grade, but if not, then you'll be fin

Comment:

This professor thinks that he knows everthing including how to run a theater department. The important thing is that he doesn't. This know-it-all tries to run it but can't even teach his classes correctly. And, although you may not be in his class, will constantly gossip about you with other fellow professors. Seems to be very junior highish!!

He wants to help his students learn, so he tells it like it is.
