Fantastic professor. Here's how to do well in this class: Do the reading. Take notes (don't have to be too detailed). Look at his syllabus and get ahead on your reading instead of waiting until 2 days before a quiz or test. If you just do the homework, the class is easy. Also, the mind tricks you learn from him are very useful later on! :) Awesome.

Comment:

I did not like this teacher. I loved studying the subject, but he was a pain. The quizzes for the first few weeks were just basically memorizing random words that he gives during the quiz (which I believe should not be graded) and then quizzes about the books. The grading was confusing and i was worried about failing the class. I received a B.

An interesting class but the projects are tedious and overtaxing... Got B's on tests and did not regularly attend class.

Comment:

Ok teacher. Likes to have students talk in class about things. The only thing I didn't like was that he didn't let us choose groups, but instead picked them for us. I got with a group that was fine, but others weren't so lucky. Tests are a little more difficult than it would seem, but you can always talk to him about grades.

Comment:

Avoid this professor. His idea of a class is to have you do all the work for him (i.e. learn from the textbook). But wait, there's more! He wastes your time daily because there is an attendance requirement, even though he is not even remotely helpful. Tests include things from the book and class (which have nothing to do with each other).

Class is interesting, professor teaches well and is pretty fair. If you need to take SS classes this would be a good choice.

Make sure you read the textbook for the exams. Watch out for the end-of-term paper; he takes ridiculous points off for not being "perfect."

Indifference to students' responses to his questions is interesting and somewhat discerning. Definitely has favorites-hope for a C if you're not one of them

He's a total bore (speaks slowly with lots of hesitation), but the material in the class is interesting so that keeps you awake.

Fun, interesting classes. Also, he's not afraid to make his atheistic viewpoints clear and tell god-squad people why they're wrong -- unfortunately, this scale only goes as high as 5. He should get a six.

Class is so boring that students stop going - no challenge class too easy, no thinking involved- try a SS class that makes you think!
