Comment:

Really good teacher, but some of his stuff I feel may be a little outdated. We watched movies and video clips almost every class and it went by fairly quickly. I haven't used the book yet, just make sure you buy the powerpoint packet and pay close attention to what he says. Also make sure you attend every class because you WILL miss important info.

He does lecture most of the class, but also shows a lot of videos and brings examples to class. He is a police officers so he has a lot of experience. I think he is an awesome professor and has a lot of interesting information to share with his students. We had two tests and a group project. I would definitely recommend taking a class with him.

Outstanding instructor and human being. Extremely knowledgeable and equally compassionate individual. He has an extensive and thorough background that immediately applies to the material in class. I never had a class that I was able to take this much information and be able to apply it. The world needs more people such as him. Highly influential.

Honestly the best professor I have had throughout college. This man is so passionate about addiction and the CRJ system and made these topics so interesting. He is so helpful, and genuinely cares about his students and their well-being in and out of his class. Take a class with him you will not regret it; 3 hour class and I did not even mind.

Metz is an amazing teacher, i took him for a winter session and his class made learning easy. Lots of movies and the tests seem hard, fill in the blank but they are obvious if you pay attention and study. He was an inspirational teacher, i would take a class with him again. EASY A, EASY TEACHER. he made a 4 hour long class fly by.

Prof Metz is who convinced me to become a Drug Counselor. His extensive work in the field is amazing. He hands out a ton of paperspackets but they are actually helpful. He is there for you if you need help. What's expected of you is very clear. Very interesting class, I really enjoyed it. Took it as a night class, you will stay the entire time.

Easily the best professor I have had and the best class I have taken at Brockport! Took it as a 2week summer class and it was 100% worth it. As a substance abuse counselor and cop, he is very knowledgeable in the subject area and really cares about his students doing well and understanding the content! Definitely recommend taking it with him!

Metz is the BEST! Easiest 4 tests EVER! No projects. He gives you the study guide for the entire semester. It's overwhelming at first but don't panic. Metz is very knowledgeable and very easy going. He likes to joke a lot. I would recommend this course for anyone interested.
