Comment:

Very intelligent, sincere, & caring. Helped me inside & outside of the class since sophomore year (I'm a sr). Pretty sure he's retiring but definitely the most influential professor's I've ever had. He goes out of his way to help students in&out of classroom & knows what he's talking about. Helped me find internship, career path, and thesis. 10/10

By far the best professor I have had at Endicott (sophomore). His lectures are very clear, and it is obvious that he cares about his students and wants them to succeed. All you have to give him is your attention, respect, and the homework assignments that he asks for. If you are even slightly interested in the social sciences, you are golden.

This was by far one of my favorite classes I've ever taken. This professor really cares about his students and clearly wants them all to succeed. I found the material he taught very interesting and his lectures were not boring at all. He also reaches out to the students when they are not doing well and accepts late work. I would highly recommend.

Absolutely loved him and the class. He can get a little boring at times but the material he gives you is super straight forward. You get a study guide and he uses questions from that for the test so you know exactly what to expect. If you pay attention, he's hilarious and I can't wait to have him for another semester.

Comment:

His version of teaching is going on tangents and throwing many names at you that don't mean anything. His handwriting is incredibly unreadable. The notes that he writes down on the board are almost unreadable. He is far behind the times of technology and society. He expresses this through his opinions of society. I recommend against this professor.

If you skip class, beware: he'll call your cell phone. You'll ignore it? He'll call your mom. and wait for you outside your other classes.

Good Teacher, actually cares if you do well in the class, work is laid out in a way that you can get it done on time. I did minimal work and got a B, but you have to turn things in on time

Very easy class. Everything is plain and simple. There would have to be something wrong with you if you didn't get a least a "B" in the class. As someone else said, the guy is funny if you pay attention.
