Comment:

Worst teacher I ever had. Took the class twice with him and failed both times. Took it with Bain (I think he was a former dean) and easily passed with an A. He was all over the place in his teaching, very confusing and a ton of useless busywork. Do whatever you can to avoid taking this teacher.

Comment:

Very unstructed teacher who is jumpy and hard to understand. He often contradicts his lectures and gets flustered when students question him. He does not seem to know his stuff well. He may be good at it, but he does not do well as a teacher. Often 'hit on' students. Do not recommend.

Comment:

assigns a lot of homework and doesn't explain it, not very good at conveying information to students, he is available to help but it is still hard to get your questions answered with the way he explains everything; one good thing is he assigns enough homework that if you do it you will get a B

Comment:

This professor likes to teach the big picture. Yet, our field alone implies that we should be knowledgeable about each piece of the big picture. What frustrated me the most, was his lack of clarity when answering questions and avoiding key points.

Comment:

He contradicts himself, as well as just plain gets things wrong. His response to any question he doesn't know the answer to is 'yes'. He doesn't give due dates when handing out multiple assignments, and his tests are a joke. Minimal real world exp.
