Dr. Alderson is the best teacher on campus! I have had him for many classes and he is just so wonderful. He definitely has a passion for teaching and he loves his students. He has been trying to retire for years now and he keeps coming back. Dedication! If you ever have the op. to take his class, do it! You will not regret it at all!

Very Kind teacher, truly cares about his students, pretty funny. As long as you study the notes taken in class and study you'll get a good grade. Also attendence is important in the end he will bump you up if came to all the classes

I was enthusiastic about this class but kind of let down. Unless you don't mind being a telemarketer/salesperson then you might not want to do this. You basically have to log 75 hours of mostly calling random people taking surveys.

He is the man. All he does is smile and teach with a passion. He will help you if you're lost, but it is pretty difficult to get anything but an A if you go to class everyday. He takes attendance.

He is a nice guy who has genuine interest in his subject matter. He tells you what is on the quiz by hitting the podium. His tests are straight out of the book, which is an easy read.

Professor Alderson is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He totally accomodates students and gives out a ridiculous amount of extra credit. His tests are hard if you don't study, but if you do, you'll do fine. He's very funny and a real charmer. I'd definitley recommend taking any of his classes!

Great professor. Takes an interest in students and knows the material well. Makes sure the students know the material as well by weekly quizzes. Makes the material interesting to learn. Gives pizza party for each class at the end of the semester.
