Comment:

I just had Pruim for FYE but he was such a great person & professor. He genuinely cared about the students and anyone who made an effort with him was treated nicely. As long as you pay attention in class you'll be fine; very easy class. I would love to take more of his classes because he is so funny and caring. Heads up, he is all over the place

Nice guy, very positive. You must read and take notes in order to do well. Weekly quizzes and HW, test were ok. Professor brought politics into conversation a lot which I did not like since it had nothing to do with this course. Wish he would keep his opinions to himself. There was 1 end of the semester essay

Comment:

Very wise man with great real world examples. All over the place in class and likes to go over the allowed time for lecture. His tests are tough, so study hard. He did give our class major curves. For example, if you got a 55 on an exam, that was a C grade to him.

Lectures are long, he likes to go over the time limit but very fun. It won't feel like a class to you, more like a fun easy elective.

Very nice man but seemed to be all over the place during class. Never could stay on topic and I found it hard to keep up with him. He is a tough grader with assignments.

Dr. Pruim sometimes gets off topic, but it's typically useful tips for the real word. Overall, do the homework and pay attention and you can't fail this class.

Had him for Intro to Liberal Arts. He's a funny guy- definitely knows what he is talking about. Very small assignments and few papers throughout the semester but that's it. It's an easy A as long as you do the assignments and come to class.

Literally the nicest/funniest/most interesting professor on campus. He is always willing to help and is very easy to talk too. If you show you are trying and attend class and he will give you a better grade than you receive.

Dr. Prium is an excellent professor. His Logic class was extremely hard, but he tried to make the class entertaining and was very helpful to students that were having a a difficult time in the class. Good guy, and kind of out there.

Had him for an intro philosophy class. Really great character! He's always pleasant. Even if he doesn't agree with you, he will try to compromise with you. Make sure any papers you write have good content and grammar! Really knows a lot in philosophy. Browning points if you know a little Latin ;) <-- He also teaches Latin

Awesome guy, one of the only professors I actually looked for the next semester to take his class. Don't get it twisted, his classes are not easy but they are fun and informative.

Professor Prium is a very intelligent and humorous man. However, I did not understand much of what he was teaching. It's almost impossible to leave that class with anything lower than a C.

Comment:

I don't know if it's just an Honors class thing, but all we do is talk and talk in that class. Somehow, it works! He and Mash are constantly joking, which keeps us awake. Even though I don't learn as much as in my other classes, what I am learning is really useful and it feels like I'm getting more out of this class than any of my others. :)

He is a crazy man, but it works. His tests are kind of difficult, but if you ask questions he will try his hardest to explain it to you. He actually cares more about what you as students get out of the class than the grades. Great teacher.

Comment:

such an amazing guy. always willing to help if something is misunderstood. more concerned about what his students get out of the class than what grades they get--and as long as you pay attention in class, you'll do fine. makes you want to go to class just to hear him talk. always made me laugh. i think i might just be a little bit in love with him.
