Comment:

He assigns some of the most useless and boring readings I have ever had the displeasure of having to read. He forces you to take useless reading notes which take hours and are absolutely pointless. He doesn't ever seem to have any sort of a lesson plan, and so he just rambles on about his life and tries to relate everything to business. DO NOT TAKE

Comment:

Really interesting teacher if you're into the topic he is talking about. He tends to talk most of the class because everyone else is half asleep - probably because the class is at 8am. Anyway, he only assigns 5 papers the whole semester. Stay on top of it or it can get overwhelming, but he is a good guy and genuinely cares about your education.

Comment:

Lectures about the most boring topics for the whole class. Changes the topic of the class every day so you have no idea what is going on. Tries to confuse you with rhetoric questions and gives pointless ridiculous homework assignments to do for the entire semester, like listening to news podcasts every day for an hour. Don't take his class!!

Comment:

lectures the whole class, incredibly painful. You learn about corn the whole time and write a paper about whether or not you would kill a chicken. he is also very vague with questions and basically just confuses you. No tests, tough grader on papers. Makes you listen to the news for one hour every night and take notes for a grade. Painful class.

Comment:

Very boring lectures, I had never fallen asleep before in a class until his class. The only grades all semester were 5 long papers that were fairly easy. He took a participation grade, but besides that there would be no reason to go to class.

I had him for GST and it was soooo boring! We bought books and could write our papers w/o them. Only good thing was you could be on your computer the whole time and still make an A. At least it was easy!

Comment:

tells you to buy a book, but tells you not to refer to it. Smokes so much he has to take time out of class. Not helpful. Talks the whole class about things that could be summed up in 30 minutes. Take it from Giles. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!

Bring some entertainment to class, this guy is Boring! Goes off on tangents, rarely makes himself clear on what the lecture is actually about or what he expects from work. Avoid unless you like zoning out.

Class overall is not that hard. Exams arent easy, but they carry no weight, they are only worth 75 out of 1000 total points each. Just do the work and make sure your grammar is correct and you will get a high B or A.
