Comment:

He is a great teacher who wants students to become involved in the world around them. He expects us to know more than what is simply written in a book. Take this class! It will show you the real world rather than books. Oh, and you get to play games all the time too!

This is by far the greatest teacher on the earth. His class wasnt to difficult. It was the only class that I loved to go to. If you show up you will do fine. Relies on repetition. YOu will see test questions over and over. Test is the same as quizes. Take if you can. Even if you aren't a PLS major.
