Comment:

I wouldn't say the class is hard but it is demanding. As long as you are good at taking notes and preparing for tests, you should at least get a B. He is a very fair grader, and after the first test the following get easier. The lectures are funny and interesting too, if you pay attention you'll be able to connect and understand concepts easily-ish

Well so far the notes don't really match up with the test. Its as if he wants you to master all the info for every test. The book does not seem to help. The average for exam 1 was just above 70...most ppl I talked to made in the 50's... vary hard class lets hope it ends well...only take if you really really need to.

HARD CLASS!!! His lectures are really interesting but totally different from his test. The book didn't help either. GO TO EVERY CLASS, even though it is not mandatory. He is a great teacher and helpful, but with the difficulty of his test, I would just avoid the class all together. I'm an A student, but this class totally destroyed my GPA :(

I slacked off this sem big time, so it was difficult for me. If you arrive to ea. lecture, take good notes, study in a distributive manner, prepare for the short essays he gives beforehand, then you can get an A. Although his lecture material sufficed for the exams, still read the book, it'll help.

I had him for I.O. This is a class you must take notes for. He is hard but very clear on what he wants, and will help you.

HARD CLASS. You have to go to class to get an A. His tests are hard and his final is essay, MC plus old material. It is an interesting class but you have to take really good notes to understand the concepts. Do not use book too much, group paper which is 15% and then 3 tests plus the final. Other than that it is an interesting class

Comment:

He's a really great professor and as long as you attend all the classed the tests aren't very difficult. He GIVES you the essays to prepare and they're worded exactly the same on the tests. As long as you read over the notes you can pass. I don't really read the book because his notes cover almost everything.

He is a great prof. lectures are fun and intresting. Yet, tests are really hard. I read all chapters, went to every class, and studied and still got a C. So if you are a slacker do not take him.

Really enjoying the class so far! Made a C on the first exam, but got an A on the last one... Reviewing with a group paid off! My suggestion: attend every class, read the chapters (they just reinforce what was said in class) and read his exam questions THOROUGHLY! He's a trickster, but a brilliant man. Love all of his stories and corny jokes.

Comment:

Nice guy, kind of a nerd, but funny in his own way? Tests are hard, but he is willing to help if you ask. Makes the topic interesting, and has funny stories to add and that do actually help. Take him if you want to learn, not for a blow-off class!

Comment:

he is very helpful if you take the initiative to ask for help. his exams are VERRRRRRYYY difficult-he makes them that way so you'll actually learn. tricks you. read the material and come to class religiously! if you miss a day get the notes from a friend AND go see him in his office. this is definitely a class you have to stay on top of.

He knows his stuff. Attendance is not mandatory, but very necessary, and so is the reading. He is fun, but don't underestimate the difficulty of his tests (Especially if you don't attend/read!). Missing even one class is brutal. Not recommended for slackers.

The material is interesting, but I would have taken it with someone else. His lectures and his notes are unclear and not very helpful. You won't understand anything unless you read the book before class. He thinks he's funny.

Very interesting material. Prof clear in explanations, gives numerous examples. Full lectures, not much time to ask questions. Gives minimal extra credit. Read chapters, attend class, study, easy A.

Definitely knows his stuff. Thinks hes funnier than he is. DONT think this is a blowoff class- ATTENDENCE and complete notes are a must. Types his notes on overhead for class (take notes on a laptop to keep up) STUDY NOTES FOR EXAMS. KNOW your definitions and be able to apply them. Hard exams, but hes probably the best professor for this class.
