Wow I just don't feel like he understands boundaries. Many uncomfortable moments. Called me alone in office on multiple occasions for a variety of reasons and asked me if I like sports, wrestling etc. Very odd.

This man should not be teaching. He rambles about things that do not have anything to do with the topic. He loves Kim K., though, so write about her on your tests and you'll pass.

He really isn't a bad guy. The more the semester went on the more I understood him and his class. GREAT TIP: In PLS 105, there is a helpful website listed on the back of the book. The flashcards and practice tests included on this website help TREMENDOUSLY. use it.

A friend and I both took his class and studied together religiously. If it weren't each other, we both would have failed. :( We didn't learn anything in class. Not to be rude, but he seemed to have some personal hygiene issues.

Comment:

What a horrible experience. This guy just likes to listen to his own nerdy voice for hours upon arduous hours. His tests have nothing to do with the material. His "jokes" are agonizingly awkward. You will learn NOTHING and feel stressed. POINTLESS. I swear time goes 4x as slow in his evil lair. Try to avoid if possible.

OMG. Kill me. This man expects you to answer questions based on what he's thinking not what he puts on the paper. HORRIBLE teacher. Avoid him and all of his classes.

This man is ridiculous. He rambles during class and doesn't stay on topic. His tests are HARD and he doesn't even teach/explain the material well. Don't take this class unless you're a PLS major.

Wow, what can I say? His class was a horrible experience. Creepy? YES! Impossible? YES! AVOID AT ALL COST! LOL @ whoever said he had halitosis. I encountered that first hand! LOL @ Dahmer too! Seriously though, he should not be teaching, he has NO IDEA what he is doing!

Comment:

Without a doubt the worst "professor" I've ever encountered. Blabs about nothing during class and introduces new material ON THE TEST! Everyone is right he is REALLY CREEPY! Tries to make sex jokes to sound cool, but is awkward. Cross between Dwight Schrute & Jeffery Dahmer.

Comment:

Absolutely useless as a professor. Does not help students and makes you feel stupid for asking questions. Very rude to people and mildly ****ed. He made creepy innuendo jokes to both female and male students. Very awkward and uncomfortable professor to have. Should be fired.

Comment:

Wow, where can I start about this guy. He was very demoralizing, insensitive, smarmy and yechh! I went to ask him for help and He said: "for most people I would recommend they stay enrolled to get their grade up. But i recommend you drop the class." WOW?! Who says that? I almost quit school completely! I would NEVER take a class with again! EVER!

Comment:

Had him for both 459/460. Difficult subject and he does not help to alleviate the difficulty. Tests are rough because he puts info on them that has never been covered. He tends to ramble about one case for weeks and then not even put it on the test. Lectures are useless, although he does have an odd sense of humor which keeps it interesting.

Comment:

This man can't teach. He picks on random students; asking irrevelant questions that noone will know the answer to. He spends too much time talking about material not used for tests, and his grading procedures lack any lenience or clarity. The class material is conceptually interesting but it's presentation and testing is utterly broken.

Comment:

Gah! He means well... He does care about students, but he is just plain awful! He writes random words on the board, that WON'T appear on the test. He takes tests straight from the website (so you need to MEMORIZE, read the book, and UNDERSTAND the material) I think it's too much work for an intro class, I heard there are better PLS teachers. AVOID.
