Comment:
Very hard course that you have to keep up with! No homework, but quizzes that you can pass if you read outside of the class. Tests are not so easy...but if you read the book, seek help, do a few problems out of the book...then you will have better chances of passing the course. He's very knowledgeable and smart in this subect area, which is why the course is tough.

Comment:
Nice guy, nothing against him, helpful at times, doesnt take roll which is cool, so it wont hurt your grade, but you have a quiz like every other day of like only 5 questions, if you miss one, then you grade goes down that much, there is no way you can have time to cram every night from what you learned that day, to try to do well on a pop quiz.

Great guy, test are difficult. His tests are definately out of the book. Study the definitions, do the papers, and you have an A. Also, he likes to throw quizes, so read the chapters.

The prof does not explain things well. Material is hard to grasp and he just reads from the text. He has pop quizzes that can be really tough if you don't read the chaps. All his tests are made by the publisher, so you must master the material. Get the study guide. Note: We are in college you guys.

Only reads from text, and expects you to know entire book from front to back. The questions are difficult to interpret, and poorly worded. Oddly enough he seems knowledgable, but doesnt teach well.

Nice dude, tests are hard, and he calls you out in class like it's going out of style so if you're not a big fan of being called out in class you might want to look elsewhere.

A little too personal? Nice guy though. Makes it easy to understand the material. Tests are tough, papers are easy. In fact, I don't even think he reads them.
