Comment:
If you have a thing for professors that look like Santa, well here's your class. His lectures can be boring at sometimes and goes off on random tangents, but as a whole the class was pretty easy. Make sure you read the textbook outside of class though. Labs were free easy points so for your lab science credit this is a good class.

If you are in love with teachers that look like Santa Claus, this class is for you! Super easy lab science class. Tests are not too bad if you look over the review questions the night before. The test questions are usually right off of D2L. He is also a really nice guy who loves to tell stories during lecture.

Give the guy a break, he doesn't have the easiest material to teach but he does a great job of it. Really nice about helping you if you miss labs or assignments and is always willing to helpfully explain concepts. People need to get over what ever high school grudges they have with him.

I had him as my high school physics and chemistry teacher. It was a total waste of time! I got good grades but hardly learned anything in either of the classes. No one did, whenever he talked to us it was all over our heads.

Comment:
This professor was great. His grading seems unfair but the mistake most students do is not talk to him. Hes super nice and really wants everyone to succeed. And the stuff about him and girls is BS. I have taken multiple classes from him and that has never been a problem.

Really nice professor. Old guy who could not make the class any easier! Very late on getting stuff back but all the answers for the homework are given in the book anyway and the questions on the test are always gone over in class the class before.

Just a heads up. I had this instructor in middle school and not only does he have a temper but he also is very inappropriate with females.
