Comment:
Took this class, and it was a piece of cake. If you pay attention and go to class you'll pass. The material is not difficult, I got a 97% on the midterm. The majority of my class either didn't pay attention or goofed off shopping online. He is a nice person, who will talk to you if you need anyone to talk to for any reason at all.

Comment:
Trick questions on tests, for example "find and correct the 5 mistakes" you lose a point because there were 6 mistakes. He can't admit the smallest mistake. Question him once and he'll be out to get you. Has little relevant experience in the field and there is hardly anything to learn from taking his classes. Highest grade on the midterm was 82.5.

Honestly I dont know what everyone sees wrong with him but he has helped me out in a number of ways and is very easy and helpful when dealing with him, concerning the question that he asked back its to get you thinking about it from another approach.

Comment:
Nice guy, not a great professor. Lectures often go off topic and turn into rants. Quizzes and exams purposely have ambiguously worded questions and contain specific questions from his rants. Grading is usually too harsh. Overall, a strict professor but not impossible to deal with.

Comment:
He delivers the instruction required by OSHA for the 30 Hour card. He is frustrated that he has little lattitude today but makes solid effort to make it interesting.

Comment:
Taken too many classes with him. He can never answer a question completely and loves asking a question back. Absolutely no valuable construction experience in today's environment. The department is a mess, so I recommend going elsewhere.

I have taken all of his classes and learned one thing which is coming to this school for CM was the biggest waste of four year ever. I should have gone to SUNY Buffalo for civil engineering or even SUNY Albany for Business Administration and actually learned something useful.

Cheeseball of a professor! Ridiculed when asking any question. Smug know-it-all attitude. If I would have known that this guy was the curriculum coordinator for my major I would have gone to Michigan state for CM. Again, gets off from students suffering from assignments. His classes come before all others..no exceptions. What a joke of a professor

Comment:
Has very limited work experience however somehow is a construction consultant. Lectures are purely acedmic and are not based on field experience. He is extremely unreasonable when it comes to grading and will not admit when he is wrong. Im ashamed to say he is the curriculum coordinator. If your good at riddles you will do well on his tests.Bah!
