Attendance to lectures is not mandatory. You would learn more studying the material by yourself.Does not know how to do simple math. Often confuses himself.

Comment:

This prof is useless. His classes are extremely boring, his teaching style makes it hard to understand anything. Only good part is he thinks he's funny, which in turn is kind of funny.

Comment:

Super knowledgable, defintely not afriad to speak his mind. No, the class attendance isn't MANDATORY as two sets of slides are posted but it does reinforce things and he does provide entertainment. He will go out of his way to give you the most marks he can - great guy.

Tom is a great prof! He is animated and interesting. He ensures that his examples are relevant to students and our society. He is very easy to talk to, and will help you out as best he can. I would definitely take another class from him!

The worst professor ever. Sometimes he is funny or better to say, he thinks he is funny. Nobody in class has a clue whats going on. Good Luck

Comment:

I did very poorly in this class. Although he can be funny and sometimes relevant - he basically reads from slides and there isn't a whole lot of help - even when you ask he leaves you confused. His answers are sometimes contradictory as well. Overall I wouldn't take another class from him.

I love Tucker, hes the man. Can be a hard marker though. His lectures are halarious (for this class at least) and he keeps you awake. Really helpful but you have to ask for it. Should definitely take one of his upper level classes.

Although he's really set in his ways, Tucker really hammers home at the points and isn't afraid to speak his mind. if you work hard, it'll pay off.

Comment:

Very entertaining class - had no idea that being for protecting spotted owls meant you were automatically in favor of the war on Iraq (Tucker seems to think so)! Read the text, cuz he tests you on it, despite the fact that his lectures are unrelated.
