It is highly regrettable that Mr. Botsford left CGCC. I truly wish that he will be teaching again and inspires many sutdents like he did at CGCC. He was the best professor; especially for me.

You could tell Professor Botsford loved what he did. At 8am, I actually enjoyed his high energy teaching. I would absolutely take another class with him.

This man is absolutely brilliant. He should be teaching at a better college or doing something more. He held so much back in class. He seemed troubled but i loved the guy. its a real shame he's leaving cogreene after this semester.

I've taken 3 classes with him-- great guy, gives you multiple chances to do well. TAKE THE MAKE-UPS! 200 classes are wayyy harder than the 100's so don't think you're in the same game just because you've had him before.

Im not even done with the class yet, but Botsford's class is great. I thought college history classes would be boring, but he makes class go by really quick and history is actually more interesting

Great Professor. Along with Kristin Isabelle the best I've ever had. This is the 4th class I've taken with him. No matter what class you take of his you always learn a lot and you leave with that knowledge imparted in you. Uncontainable and electric sense of humor, makes the class time interesting. I highly recommend taking any of his classes.

This guy is not an easy teacher, but he works well with other students to help them pass. The course is only hard if you don't do the work and work against this guy. Easy to contact when you need help or have a question and makes his class fun to participate in.
