Comment:

told us on day 1 that he was GOD, and if the book said anything different from him then the book was wrong and he was right. took notes from a powerpoint and as soon as he was done reading, he'd change the slide and if you didnt get all the notes he'd say "well you should have wrote faster" and moved on. bitter man

Comment:

Well, I'll tell you this much. He is stern and difficult, but he is very intelligent. If you just pay attention in class and get the tests from the previous semester you should be set. I learned alot from him although he was difficult. There is hope!

Treat him with respect and you'll get the same. Doesn't make the tests easier but makes class bearable. Lots of information!! Best advice...stick to the notes and use your text only as reference.

Comment:

He seems to care, but I think it's a front. The requirements are a bit much. Plus, he teaches things either too quickly or not fast enough. I suggest taking an easier prof if you don't like challenges, but a harder one if you do. Harsh attendance policy.

Comment:

He is a pretty good guy, the tests are hard but its college you have to study to earn your grade. He explains things pretty well, and if you dont understand him just ask and he will explain it over again. Pretty decent class.

Comment:

The class is hard, and he teaches it fairly. All the info is really important for nursing majors (this class is for them, don't just take it for fun!) - if you think it's too hard, maybe you picked the wrong field.

Comment:

His class is pretty hard. You will have to study a lot just to get a C on his tests. He is not willing to help and makes you feel like a dumb ass if you are asking for help. Don't take this man!

Wake up people. This is a "weed out" course. The man is employed to bust your butt. If you survive and still like your major, celebrate. I had this class 13 years ago, I doubt it changed.

Beware for a semester of studying if you take him. Get ready to study for hours and still do poorly on his tests.
