Comment:

He thinks he's really funny, but I was not amused. His jokes get really old after a while. The tests are tough if you don't study, but they're pretty much over the lectures. As long as you are okay with constant joking that can be somewhat offensive towards women, then you'll be okay.

Comment:

Very funny guy, keeps class interesting. However he tends to get off topic easily and it's hard to understand what exactly hes talking about when it comes to terminology in the subject. I think his history classes would be better. Bears a strong resemblance to the Scottish actor Graham Mctavish (seriously, if you've taken his class, google it)

Comment:

Wasn't too bad. He is very intelligent and knows a lot about what he's teaching. However, he talks very fast and uses vocabulary you'll never cover. His diagrams on the board are nonsense most of the time. However, I got an A on almost all tests (multiple choice, & the only grades in the class), but it was always "What? I did? How?". Dont buy book!

Comment:

This man makes you question your religious beliefs. He goes over where religion started and how it developed. If you are a strong Christian, but have a sense of logic, common sense, and open-mindedness, but don't want to be convinced that you're wrong... you may not want to take this class. I think I'm athiest now. Not quite sure yet.

Comment:

Took the first world civ with him. Go to lectures if you are not a history fan. Explaines things very well. very entertaining man also. tells you what is going be on the exam (yes, it is essay format)but you already know what your going to cover. If you just write in order of the section he lectured about and go into some depth you'll get an A.

Comment:

Bill Feipel is one amazing professor! He REALLY knows his stuff! Brilliant! While he may go off topic, I hardly think it's excessive as some have said. Just enough for some relief in a very long class. It is clear that he teaches a subject he cares about with passion and interest. I enjoy the class and look forward to it, have learned much.

Comment:

I could not sit through another of his lectures. The man is arrogant, long winded, and just plain not right.He jumps off topic and then off topic some more. He spouts his opinions so much that i couldn't tell what was actual facts and what was his propaganda.Did you know there are 5 different ways to pronounce ough? i do now after his 20 min rant.

Comment:

This guy is Nuts! He's pretty nice and slightly entertaining but theres literally NO following him when hes talking during class. He gets off topic so easily and everyone looks around like WTF is he talking about? And he seems to have something against computers. really old fashioned guy.

This man is a Whirl Wind! He is smart and clever. He is super hard to follow in lectures!!!!! He does allow Cheat Sheets though and gives you up to a week to fill it out. He is funny and I enjoyed lectures although I used alot of Wikipedia to make my cheat sheets. Take the class and get a good laugh!

Comment:

Super easy, he gives you a cheat sheet and 2 days to make it. He cant make it much easier. Im not sure if he read reads the test if you write like 8 pages...He does seem to like to see who are the last kids still writing, so take your time writing. When you talk about India, talk about Aldus Huxley and Soma in your paper he will go nuts

Comment:

He is a funny guy and is really intelligent. I liked his class a lot. But his notes do get confusing and his lectures can get off subject easily. It's fun he he gets off topic, he has all this funny comments. but I ended up staying lost in the off-topic. His tests aren't hard, but to get an A you have to be good at writing.

Great teacher. Super intelligent and knows how to really teach a class. You have to get his style down at first, but once you do you will be fine. Very funny guy who has an interesting view on life. Fair guy.

Comment:

This teacher is extremely rude. The first half of the class he talks about himself or sports, then he reviews, IF he can refrain from getting off topic with sacrilegious comments and mild racism, than you might get 20 minutes of real learning. Easy testing, but for the most part he teaches like he doesn't even know what he wants from the class.
