Comment:

Class will seem long and possibly boring sometimes because he tends to lecture, but he can be very entertaining and has a sense of humor. He will give you a ton of information, expect to take a lot of notes. His assignments are strait forward, although confusing at first, he gives great feedback. Very approachable as well.

Comment:

Boring and did not help with passing the EAS exam. Had to study on my own and take another prep class in order to pass it. This class should be called Classroom Management, as about half the material comes straight from that course (literally says it). Too much tedius written work and no discussion or lesson planning. Not a good teacher.

Comment:

Gives you the midterm and the final to study from, which was AWESOME. No tricks in this class, read the book, use the study guide (aka the actual test!) and you will get an A like I did. Nice guy who kept the class interested for the most part. Not a lot of work at all.

Very good professor. Great experiences which aids to what he is talking about. Starts out tough, but lightens up. If you want to be a teacher today, you should listen and save his handouts and text books.

Gives a lot of work which makes you a better student. Really cares about education and gets his students to care, too. Do what he asks and you'll do fine. Read his syllabus carefully. Respects his students' comments in class and never belittles anyone.
