I don't even know where to start? He is just terrible and shouldn't teach undergrads.

By far the most boring class I've ever taken. Interesting subject matter, but horribly boring presentation. One time the TA taught the class, and the class applauded him after he was done.

Comment:

I took BCS 112 and the lectures are really quite boring. I made a meeting with him to go over an exam I took and he was very unhelpful and sort of hurried me away. He seems smart and interested, but I'll probably never take bcs again.

excellent professor - brilliant man. quirky personality but very down to earth and definitely approachable. class might not be bells and whistles, but if you are interested in psycholinguistics, tanenhaus will get you thinking.

Comment:

Mike is awesome, the dweeb chic thing really works for him and he's one of the nicest smartest guys out there. His lectures can be a little monotone but you can tell he really cares about the students and tries really hard to make sure everybody understands.

Not the most exciting class in the world, but he is very informative and his tests are pretty easy. He's a good teacher overall and also a nice guy.

Classes bored me so much that I quit coming to class and just read the book. Still got an A on every test though so I guess that says something about how important his lecture are..
