Best Prof. I've ever had. The first few classes he will try to scare you. But gets a lot better. I did not want to miss class because it was interesting. There are 6 quizzes 10% each and 2 exams 20% each. Great teacher. Highly Recommended.

This professor is amazing!! He's alittle intimating the first few classes, but stay with it he gets MUCH nicer!! He's my favorite professor. You learn so much and don't even realize it, his stories are awesome. Take him!! He's fun & really intereting!! :-)

Comment:

Crazy old man. Tries to intimidate his students but ends up being fairly easy. We had 2 tests, 2 short papers and one group project which we worked on the entire semester. You must go to his class and do not show up late or sleep because if you do you will be embarassed and he will not forget. Don't use notecards for the final presentation!

Comment:

He is pretty tuff, but keeps you accountable. If you show up late for class or if you skip (even if it's only one time) he will hate you and yell at you forever. He plays favorites toward females, and demoralizes & insults his students in front of the entire class. This shows a major lack of personal character & discernment. You already hate him.

Comment:

Fontana is the shiznit.He worries about people who are having trouble in the class and really tries to help.If you are usually a slacker in group projects, do not take this class because you will get an F.I'm serious. You will get an F and he will hate you and yell at you in class all the time. do not screw your group members. the end

He's a great professor. He knows his stuff. The most annoying thing of this class is the group project that must be done. Otherwise the class is fun, interesting, and he is willing to helpout when needed. An easy 6 credits!

Guys this was such an easy class. You need to come to class and participate (this is worth a good portion of your grade). Dont be absent b/c he will down grade you. The professor knows what he's talking about. At first he seems really intimadating, but he's not.He is a great professor and super nice.

Professor may have been a little scatterbrained at times, but he was a huge help with our assignments and really pushed us to do well. His class was a pleasure.
