Comment:

I had him for basic learning my freshman year, easiest class ever. I went to class MAYBE 10 times (tests included) and never even opened the book and finished with a 97 avg. He's a really nice guy too.

Comment:

Lots of people were getting bad grades for some reason. But if you read the book and go to class, and quiz yourself, you'll do well. Got straight A's. It's quite challenging though

Comment:

Though he seemed to have a lot on his plate, he really cared about his students. His humor is kinda quirky, but he works hard to convey the knowledge to the students. His Psych of Religion class was great. The EXP classes aren't his real forte.

Comment:

This is a hard professor. You have to actually READ the book, and use your notes to pass the class. I worked a lot and read each chapter twice to get an A. He is not messing around. But, you will come out of the class with a good background.

Comment:

This was the worst classroom experiences in my life. The teacher is obnoxious. His tests asked questions so inane that he had to give everyone a third of the total points to mollify the class. He canceled two classes, and didn't show to at least two more

Comment:

His lectures are very informative and entertaining. True, I got a B+ and worked my butt off for it but it is worth it because I came out of that course with a lot of useful information. He also has some great life experience in Psychology to share.

Comment:

His lectures were SOO Boring. Told the stupidest jokes in his class, and seemed like he was talking down to the class. Out of a 500+ class only a handful had taken his class- and its an upper level psych requirement. Would help if you needed it Ext. Cred
