Yea, Dr. B is gettin up there in age, but he's still a great Professor. I learned a ton from his class, and he really took me under his wing. If you put in the work, he will reward you. If you slack off, he'll ignore you.

Comment:

A very enthusiastic guy who is a little out of date. But if you're willing to communicate with him, you'll find a good natured fellow underneath who wants to do the best for Westminster and his students. He's hard to impress, and that turns off some students. He's always gone out of his way to help me and let me get away with a lot.

Comment:

Had him for all classes. Nice guy if you get on his good side which means not being a slacker. He's getting older so he's not really teaching anything new and is stuck in his ways. He doesn't really sohw you how to do anything..you have to teach yourself.

he really does know what he is talking about and if you pay attention and take notes you will be fine... the tests are hard but if you take the time to go over the information he gives you will be fine... hes a very reasonable person but not very personable.. i would really like to get to know him better

I had him for a Broadcast managment class, and he canceled class because he said he ran out of things to teach. Cool if you dont want to go to class, but thats not what I pay large amounts of money for. Just a waste of my time.

Always willing to help you, cares about each student. Tests are not hard, he always tells you exactly what will be on them and they are often open note; but make sure you read each question carefully before answering. Don't skip his class and take time to get to know him. He knows a lot about what he teaches. I recomend his media management class

I really liked Dr. B a lot. He always went out of his way to make sure I was doing well. Doesn't know much about anything outside broadcast but is really great at what he does. His tests are hard but he tries to make sure everyone does well.

A pretty good teacher overall. Always gave his own examples of speeches to demonstrate before students had to do them. His tests are not the easiest, but he allowed students to make up a one-page "cheat sheet" to use on all tests. Friendly perso

Has he ever talked to anyone outside of broadcasting? I've been in his department for two years now and he STILL doesn't know my name and gives me cryptic looks everytime I try to be polite and say hello .
