Comment:

He is a very nice guy, and the classes he teaches require a minimum amount of work. It seems as though he is very pre-occupied with his family and doesn't really put the necessary time into his classes. Not complaining, because he pretty much gives grades out, you don't earn them, and virtually everyone gets a B+ or higher.

Cav is the man. Very cool guy. A little quirky, but he means well. Knows the web design genre very well, so he's there to answer all questions. I reccomend him for any class he has offered.

Very easy class. I showed up half the time in a monster lecture hall and I still got a B in the class. Other than that, he is a really cool guy with a good sense of humor.

Great professor, funny, powerpoint and chalkboard notes helpful. I've been late a couple times due to circumstances beyond my control, and he was great about it. I'd recommend any class he teaches.

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the "um"s. Nice guy, didn't care for the class much. Didn't go all that often towards the end, and still did well. Powerpoint and Angel notes.

Class material sucked, but he made it interesting. He's funny and makes things interesting. Says "um" a lot, but you get used to it. Taught off powerpoint, and I never read the book once. Gave online tests you can take more then once.

Comment:

He based his whole class on powerpoint lectures, just reading straight from it. It was a waste of time b/c you are able to get the notes online. I have not opened my book once this semester. He also uses words "Um" quite frequently (DISTRACTING!)

He's a great teacher, but the class that I take with him is Principles of Communication...It's the class more so than him that deviates the essense of gaining from it.The class needs to be smaller, but all tests online - easy A!

Hilarious guy... gets off track a lot, which is always entertaining but sometimes frustrating. Tells great stories, very into the classes he teaches. Doesn't make you do much work... no matter what the syllabus says.

Great guy, really into the subject he teaches. The Journalism Issues and Problems class rocks, he has a good sense of humor, all around good time, he cancelled class a handful of times, that was cool.
