Comment:

He's great! I found this class relatively easy to pass, concepts were all understandable and though I went to every class, missing them would not have been a problem as he posts all lectures online. Tests are straightforward and if you paid attention in class you will pass them easily. His dog Luca is the Best Boy.

Very clear with his expectations of what you should know. If you just go to class everyday you should be able to pass no problem. His tests are very fair and he repeats multiple times what he wants for you to know. Personally one of the best professors I've had at OSU. Also has a very cute dog.

Comment:

The class was extremely easy, prof posts lecture slides on blackboard which are all you need to pass the tests. There are 10 1-page papers and 1 5-page paper in addition to a midterm and final. Lectures can be very repetitive due to easiness of course.

Very good Prof. Clear on what is expected of his students. Concepts presented in class are a large portion of the tests. Make sure to attend lecture.

Comment:

Very clear, very precise, but very repetetive. If you go to class everyday and take notes, you'll do well on the final. I didn't think he was a super hard grader though, like other people. Attendence is KEY to success. Keep track of how many times you see Elvis too! His sense of humour is pretty lousy, but overall I really liked him.

Great lectures, but not very helpful sometimes after class. Makes fun of older students.

Interesting lectures, but grading on essays and exams is tough. Sometimes he doesn't want to be bothered by your questions and lets you know it.

Great teacher, with a very funny sense of humor. I always look forward to his subtle humor and comments like, Who cares about the southern hemisphere, and I got it from a book.
