Dr. Parks is a hardass but really wants his students to learn. The best way to get through his class is to speak up and do not be afraid to voice your opinion.

Comment:
Dr. Parks is an excellent professor. At first, it looks like he is a mean and though professor, but all he wants is to prepare future teachers so students won't eat them alive. Just follow his directions, participate and you are going to be okay. Learn from him and ignore his irrelevance.

Comment:
Dr. Parks is an absolute genius. His class is only difficult for those who can not follow directions. He wants teachers to be mentally tough, and does his job in training us all to be tougher. Every credential program needs an instructor like him. In the beginning, there is a lot of work, but don't worry. It gets really easy and he lightens up.

Comment:
Parks is something different. His class was overwhelming not because the assignments were difficult but because of the time and effort you have to put into it. To top it off, he will rip students on the spot. But, I did learn a lot and I gained a new level of confidence. If you want to become a teacher, then I'd suggest that you take Parks.

Comment:
Dr. Parks is bitter and hostile. He has intentionally created a hostile environment in his classroom that is not conducive to learning. He constantly starts arguments and makes demeaning comments to students. In addition, he has lied to the class about our grades, and sent negative emails to students. Everyone in is class is miserable. Take Arenz.

Comment:
Dr. P is a hard teacher, but his job is to teach upcoming teachers what to look out for in future students. His motto: improvise, overcome, and adapt. I've used more of what I learned from Dr. P. than ANY of the other Credential classes. The students who succeed in his course will definitely be set up for success in their careers. Well done Dr P

Parks does not hold back, ever. He speaks his mind and doesn't worry about whether or not people get offended. This is good for people getting into the teaching world. If you have thin enough skin that he can get under it, think twice about your choice of professions.

Comment:
Dr. Parks is not a good professor. How could anyone think this man is a good professor. He disrespects people, he is rude, and worst of all he teaches nothing. If you ask him a question, he will throw it back in your face, he will not answer a question. How can a professor make attendance mandatory when the students are teaching themselves?

This is a professor that speaks from experience and has valuable messages to convey. I really enjoyed his class because it was thought provoking and interesting. I never once felt that it was a waste of my time. It may seem like there is a lot of work, but if you are disciplined, it isn't that bad. No Exams! We need more teachers like Dr. Parks!

Poor role model. Discriminates against, and is offensive, to practically everyone in the class. Do NOT take this professor.

Only take this teacher if you want to be discriminated aganist. He will berade you about your race, sex, brain size and knowledge. I think that has some serious issues in his own life and this is his chance to take them out on someone else.

Comment:
Dr. Parks has a head larger than his 6 foot whatever stature. I believe he uses the tough love to scare people from thinking teaching will be easy. That is good. However, I have a problem when a professor saying there is no first year teacher who could possibly have a clue about what they are doing. I have found from experience he is wrong.

I have never met a more ****, ****, bigot in my entire life. The feeble students claim that they enjoy his "down to earth" style, but they are too foolish to see that it is a desparate attempt, for a man who is out of control in his own life, to try and control a class. the man makes a mockery of the american education system.

He's very tough, I barely survived his class. At times, acted like he had a huge chip on his shoulder. Other times, he was very amusing and made the class interesting. A lot of reading and discussion.

He is a hard teacher. Likes things done his way or the highway. Scary the first couple days of class, but once you get into things he becomes a big puppy-dog! Don't quit...you will survive!
