Comment:

Do not take this class if you want to remain alert and actually care about knowing your grades! First, he stands in front of the room with his eyes closed mumbling trying to teach. Gives back no grades (including only paper). Is NOT helpful, I emailed him 3 times, not about BS, about the final(gave on study day!!) and NO response.

Comment:

Do not take this professor! I currently have him for a 3 hour class and when I tell you he is the most boring man I've ever met I'm serious. Everything he says is vital to midterm/final but I can't follow him bc he loses his train of though every 45 seconds! Class will drop my gpa. Biggest mistake was taking him. He's too old to be still teaching!

Comment:

Really boring classes, just lectured the entire time. Midterm, one paper, and a final. Everything is written. If you don't care about reading the majority of a book every week, take him. If not, don't bother.

Comment:

Very nice. I got an A n couldn't believe it cuz i hate public speaking. There were only 3 speeches all year, and you choose when you want to give your speech. Just try your best to do what he tells you while giving your speech, give eye contact, and project your voice n trust tht u will get an A. Kinda boring tho. Gets distracted easily.

Comment:

Must buy ALL books and watch ALL movies. It is impossible to pass w/o knowing all the material. What he says in class is word for word what you should write on the tests. His tests are easy but he grades them very harshly, so do above and beyond. Shows a lot of movies. Take good notes! Meet people in class to study w/ because it helps.

He's a really great guy. You read and watch movies for the class so what's not to love. He's good, but he talks with his eyes shut which is kind of funny...

He' s a little boring, has a monotone voice, gets distracted easily, rambles on and on but he is a good teacher. I def learned a lot. All we did was watch movies and we never had hmwk. He said we'd have a test every week but we only had one :P

Like everyone has said, he's easy and gets distracted and talks about other things besides public speaking, but you still learn a lot. He can ramble and become a bit boring, but you should take him anyway. He's pretty cool :-)

I hate Literature, but Dr. McCartney made it interesting by asking for real perspectives rather than a/b/c answers.

Comment:

This guy is the best. He only gives 4 speeches all easy and less than 5 minutes each. He is kind of disorganized and you can take advantage of that by saying to him is not my day to speak when it is. He tells stories and often gets side tracked and wastes time. I would highly suggest you take this guy I will again if I have the chance. Very Easy A.
