Comment:

Not a god professor. His test questions are out of left field. He gives you a study guide. However, it is not a good method of studying. Test questions need clarity. Also, his rubrics for content need to be more developed.

Meth of Teach Sci in Secondary Schools. Nice person and easy to get a good grade. Probably great for elementary and middle school. Very imited exp with high school students. When I did my student teaching and now that I am interviewing for jobs I realize how little I learned about classroom management, lesson plans, dealing with parents and lots

Comment:

Little strange but pretty nice guy. Science experiments are fun. Grading is confusing and so are some of his assignments. There's no text, so take lots of notes because he bases quizzes and final off his lectures. All experiments are done in class in groups.

A lot of work, but its worth it. In class you do all kinds of fun experiments, and the quizzes are easy as long as you look over the material. He's a really nice, funny, caring guy, and you will learn so many different things that you can use in your classroom when you teach science. No textbook! A lot of fun, I definetely recommend him!

He's not too tough but a real fruitcake. If he doesn't like you he'll make your life tough, tougher than it should be for a basic computer class.
