Boring. Nice guy though. We just had to write papers and give a final presentation, it was a joke. If you catch him smoking watch him try and throw his cigarette away real quick to try and hide it.

Comment:

Horrible in every sense....yeah hes nice but hiking your pants up and lifting ur leg on tables is just not so cool. If you are a nursing major...he will want to make out with you...but if ur not...good luck. As far as the work...outlines=novels..sucks

Comment:

Nicest guy I've ever met. Extremely easy class even though there are a lot of papers...they're all quick easy reaction papers though, so it's nothing to worry about. Can be EXTREMELY boring though, but there are a lot of guest speakers to make up for it.

more papers than all my other classes combined - seriously. not even good assignments, just tedious busywork. reads off his notes instead of teaching. half the time speakers came in to talk. they didn't seem like they wanted to be in class either.

No tests. Overall it's easy but you have to be prepared for a lot of work. He makes you write a reaction paper for everything! If you do the work it's a guaranteed A.

Mr. Naughton is the greatest. He cares about his students, is willing to adjust the workload to their lives, and has pretty exciting discussions. He was defnitely the best teacher I ever had at the U of S!
