Comment:

McCormick is an old guy, with a dry sense of humor. I got quite a few laughs out of his class. He is monotoned but his lectures are interesting, I missed many classes and still passed, if I would have studied more for the tests I would have got an A. Quizes are super easy! Take his class, he's a cool guy!

Comment:

His lecture can be very pointless and repetitive, but funny. Just be there for every quiz, easy points (it may help your grade). As for the exam, he'll give you review questions from the book to study, tests are semi-hard.

Comment:

Professor M can be somewhat boring and monotone most of the time, but the material he is lecturing on is interesting. If you want to pass attend each class meeting. Quizes given each week on easy 1-2 readings. Practice exams given before exam each worth points. Video quizes given. Easy work just have to make sure you're there to do it.

this class was very boring at times. at least half the students were sleep in class or texting in front of him. lectures were useful for studying for tests. textbook reading is a major requirement. you have to read the book in order to do well on quiz/test.

Comment:

He’s an okay professor. After awhile, he starts to grow on you. There is a lot of memorizing from the book. He keeps it interesting by putting in videos. The tests are straight from the book, and the class had a generous curve. Not a bad class at all.

Comment:

I loved his class. He's a funny guy and breaks down the material in a way that is easy to understand. Don't let the text book scare you away. As long as you are keeping up with the reading and taking the quizzes every week, you will do fine. There's a zoo project and an article project, both of which are fun and easy. Great professor.

Easy teacher. As long as you read the material and attend class you will be fine. Weekly quizes are simple as pie. The students who have problems in this man's classes are the ones who dont read the material. Trust me, I have taken two of his classes and gotten A's. My friends are the ones who didnt read and got C's and D's oops...

Comment:

If you love your young college life, don't cheat yourself a semester's worth of it here. Old-fashioned, monotonous, and dull; but he does have his points, even though they're few. Our class was just lucky since we were forced to have lectures in a computer lab with the computers on.

Comment:

His lectures are kind of boring. I reccommend taking this class with friends to keep yourself awake. There's heavy emphasis on the textbook, but just read the Chapter Summaries before each test and you'll be fine. He's nice and helpful but quite old fashioned. You have to work for an A, it isn't an easy deal, but it is achievable.

His tests are kinda hard, but you just have to study and attend class. The videos are interesting, and studying different cultures is fun. You CAN make an A. I did.

His class is easy and boring. I fell asleep a couple of times. Every Thurs, he shows an interesting video though. He has interesting stories to tell. Monotone though and he likes to bag on his wife. Easy, but boring is all i gotta say.

Comment:

He has weekly quizzes which are pretty easy. There are 4 major tests and a Zoo project that are due. He grades on a curve and has alot of opportunity for extra credit. His tests are hard so study the book because he assigns questions from there. I got a C and barely read the book and didn't pay attention in class. PeAcE OuT
