Comment:

This class starts out difficult for an incoming freshman. Once you get used to going to class and actually listening, you find the brilliance in this man. The class is hard, but if you study a lot, pay attention, and ask questions you will understand. He is willing and helpful.

Comment:

He went off on tangents and was generally 10 min. late for class or more. He's honestly interested in helping you but also missed appointments due to scatteredness. He can offer a lot of amazing information but not on the subject he is teaching.Bad tests!

Comment:

We had Forbes come in and bash Christianity during our Honors Seminar the first semester of 2003/2004. He really needs to chill and accept that some people don't believe what he does.

Forbes is great. He really cares about you succeeding and believes everyone can do it. He can be frustrating but keep up with it. STUDY. His tests aren't that bad if you do. He's very funny as well as gives you good tips for life. Don't just memorize-lear

Comment:

Forbes is the worst. His tests are horrible because they are not actually tests, they are memorization exercises. He needs to move into a constructivist veiw and leave the behaviorist techniques to Pavlov and his dog. No one remembers anything from Ted.

This was the first class that I ever failed and I put the most work into this class. He was very helpful with making meeting you to help you with whatever you needed...but the tests are way too hard, but the quizes are not too bad.

Wow, this man is something. He's so great. Tests suck... they will kick even the best student's ass, but overall he's awesome. Forbes can teach like no other. The topics of debate are amazing and good lord, don't get him started on...well...the lord!

Comment:

tests can me easy if u study, but I didnt learn anything, I memorized!, which is not the goal of college. The only good thing I can say about him is his helpfulness. Other than that he is the worse professor I've ever had.

Comment:

Great class and I've never learned so much from a class. He's cool and funny, but very opinionated. For the most part it's a really easy class as long as you do the work. If you don't it's your own stupidity not his.

He thinks he knows all and pushes his opinion instead of teaching the subject. He needs to get over himself.

All of you need to quit whining and realize that college is actually work. I loved this prof, and I learned a lot from him although I had to put some effort into it. If you study and try your hardest you can get an A, no problem (even w/out the final)
