Comment:

-named and talked about an older student--said this student was a joke. --said older students should stay home not be in the school with young students. -- this student was about 35 and graduated Phi Kappa Phi along with only 8 other students that year. He was very unprofessional in his treatment of this student.

He's a riot. Had him for night class and laughed my ass off. He definitely needs to ditch all the stupid movies, though.

Comment:

Some of his jokes are corny, but he's a funny guy and he makes class interesting. Just go to class and do the work and you're basically guaranteed an A. The quizzes and labs are short and don't count for a lot of points, but it can make a difference if you don't do really well on the (easy) exams.

Dr. Forsyth was hilarious. He was also an amazing teacher. He definitely knows his stuff. He also looks strikingly similar to Jerry Springer.

Comment:

Does not curve tests but rounded my final grade up without me asking him to do so. hard test questions. made funny jokes 10% of the time. made us use those horrible CPS clickers.i hated him the first day but he eventually grew on me. there are in class quizzes and you need to read the txt book

He was so very funny and interesting. If you go to sleep during his class than you must not have a sense of humor! Great Professor!

Funny guy! I didn't do all that well on the midterm or final and still got a B. Although he complains he likes student teacher communication. Use your clicked you get extra points.

Very funny, patient, for the most part. Gives you little freebies every so often. The workload is bearable, and the class is pretty easy, so long as you read the book! He's just a great guy.

Comment:

This class is very fun and the teacher has a great sense of humor. There are a lot of little grades throughout the year but the final and the midterm are the only grades that really matter. He likes to show videos and those end up on the tests so make sure you go to class and watch them.

This guy is hilarious. If you're a slacker, then this class will be hard, so don't listen to all that other crap. There are weekly labs and the occasional quiz, but they don't take up that much time. Definitely one of the best classes I've taken.
