Comment:
Professor Mac is one of the best at Lehigh. He is a great guy that loves his subject matter. His tests consist of only the notes from the lecture, and questions from the study guides regarding the readings. He is a genuinely good man who cares about his students both in and out of the class room.

Attendance not mandatory but if you don't go to class you will do poorly. The material is so interesting and so practical especially being a student at Lehigh (Alc, Science, and Society). The exams are very simple but if you don't go to class you will do poorly. I would recommend to anyone as an easy interesting elective. He is hella funny too.

Lectures quietly and you can't hear beyond the fifth row. Kind of boring and lectures are not required but are helpful.

Comment:
Mac is a great professor whose lecturing style is very engaging and humorous. I saw this in both SSP 001 and SSP 152. For SSP 152, its his specialty, so he's very enthusiastic. Looking back, I really regret not going to that class very often. Not only could I have gotten the A, but I could have enjoyed his company more. Take him if you can!

I like the guy alot, that being said, I hated alc science and society. The information was fun but if you don't go to class you're screwed, the powerpoints are worthless to review. Tests were overly complex and usually on 5% of the information.

Comment:
He's extremely nice and fair. Tests are a breeze. Lectures are excruciatingly boring. He's dry and just reads his powerpoint notes. You don't have to go if you don't want to he puts the lectures on blackboard. Readings are also painfully boring.Also, he lets you do extra credit which can boost your grade a whole letter.

A little kooky, but he knows what he's talking about. Lectures can be boring, but if you take good notes, you'll do well on the multiple choice exams. He's always willing to meet with you if you need extra help, and seems to like athletes.

Prof McIntosh was one of the most wonderful professors I had at Lehigh - thoroughly knowledgeable and funny! He was also very helpful in finding me and internship and writing letters of recommendation. Highly Recommended!

Comment:
By far and away the WORST teacher and the WORST class Lehigh offers. He gave 2 (out of 6) interesting books, on which the tests were not related. He took an interesting topic and turned it into a boring version of a Criminal Justice class. Unfair grader
