Comment:

Seems tough in the syllabus and on the 1st day of class but disregard it. Seems like a lot of work but assignments are fairly easy. Gain real world knowledgee. Tests are easy if you go to class and pay attention and study the power points before the test. Gets easier as the semester progresses

Take this class with another professor if you can. Least helpful professor I have had at Towson yet.He will make little mistakes ruin your whole grade and not willing to help fix it.

Comment:

He is great! You do have to work hard but that is expected..As long as you do the work you will get an A. He is all talk and tries to scare you at the beginning but don't let it scare you. He is a great teacher and really gets you ready for the real world. You do practical work instead of nonsense.

Comment:

all talk. anything he says dont listen to, except for what he writes in his syllabus. He will take off 50% of your grade if you dont do whats in the syllabus. He is a teacher you love to hate but also hate to love. It was a stupid class but was made fun because a few people would make fun of him.

Excellent professor. If you want to learn - take him! However, he is not easy. You must work to do well, but it's worth it. STUDY HARD FOR HIS EXAMS and you will do well. TAKE HIM!

Comment:

He seems anal for the purpose of the course: if you are late or don't follow directions in the professional world you will not get/keep a corporate job. The grading is fair, the two exams are based strictly on the powerpoints so no real need for the book. Most of the material is common sense but all useful info. Highly recommended.

he is a complete ****! He doesn't listen when you make suggestions and has favorites. His class isn't hard so admits that he does stuff to make it hard. he's absent too often for him to be so hard up about attendance. DONT TAKE HIM!

Comment:

He is much better than I thought. All of the lecture notes are given on powerpoint, and the study guides are lengthy, but complete clear. He is a very intelligent guy who is very clear on all assignments. He tries to be kind of a hard ass, but hes a big softie. Take this professor if you can.

Young, cute, friendly,gives very good study guides for tests. Flexible and gives a lot of extra credit points, do things exactly as he tells you to (especially APA) and you will be fine.Good class and he offers it in the evening.
