I was super uneasy about his class after reading the other reviews but he;s not bad at all! He's assignments aren't hard and he is always willing to help. He has a funny personality. I enjoyed the class a lot!

He is nice, kinda funny, and understanding. He lets u turn in work late if you forget. Two speeches, two reports, and tests. He grades hard, but overall he is an okay teacher.

Comment:

The worst experience. Unhelpful, unclear, arrogant. Had A's on the midterms and all assignments, and got a C in the class. Ridiculous! Exams have nothing to do with the book, half the class failed them. Makes me wonder how he is still teaching there. If you don;t want your GPA ruined, don't take him.

Comment:

Very boring and unhelpful professor. Usually comes of in a manner that he either likes you or not. He has a very uneasy appeal and somewhat sends off the wrong message to his students. Dont take him he is really annoying

He's a good teacher, but grades very hard. Just make sure to read the purple book very well. Only 3 test and 2 papers and a couple of in class assingments. He's very understanding.

Okay, I ended this class with a B and this is what I can tell you...1. Know his purple book inside and out. I mean really know it because that is what the test is based on. You have to read his book or you will do really poorly on his tests. With the writing assignments they are mostly letters...know all the diff kinds to write in class. yes, no

Comment:

This teacher is horrible. He is such a moody professor. He eitehr likes you or he doesn't. Trying to talk to him is a waste of time. His lessons are all BS and exams are 100 questions. It comes from the book but soo detailed. You have to remember everything you read or less you wont pass his tests. He also makes you do 2 analytical reports.

He always has P.M.S. His notes suck. class is not too hard. Staying awake-impossible. He thinks he's god cuz he did a study a billion yrs ago.He has a spazz attack every 5 minutes. Warning-avoid if possible. Take this crappy class at a JC and save $500 or stock up on red bull. zzzzzzz.

Comment:

Moody prof who clearly has favorites in class. Although he makes you buy 2 texts he wrote 100 years ago (ok, just 10), you have to do the readings bc 90% of exam ?s come from readings. Writing assignments are easy if you come to class. Take another prof if you can and stay away from Christensen too!

Comment:

Good guy, hard exams, but fair grader, gives extra credit sometimes for just showing up to class.. buying the books was useless i never used it once in the semester... the people in the class will make it fun or boring simple as that...

Comment:

Really boring class. Depressing at times because of lack of interaction between everyone. It's basically an odd english class for "business." Plus the prof. seems gay and picks solely on the women, haha. Plus he's hard of hearing, it's funny. (Don't ask questions, he gets pissy, haha)

Moody****. Lousy teacher, what a waste of my time. As a transfer student from JC, I was excited to take University level classes, until I made mistake of taking Needles. Ask anyone about him, there a clear consensus on this.

Comment:

First couple weeks of class,he seemed really hard, but he is actually pretty fair. Follow his style and you'll do great on writing assignments.Takes attendance regularly. VERY lenient on make-ups.Can be quite funny and entertaining.Seems harder than he really is Exams are straight from readings.

Comment:

Not very insightful in his subject area. Very moody and it seems like his mood dictates the grading scale. Lots of errors on his test which he sais he will correct and curve but I am sure he never does.

I didn't learn much in his class. He can be funny sometimes and a fairly easy grader.
