Comment:

This class was weird in the way it's set up. What he talks about in class is not what you need to know for tests- it's only for imformational purposes only. The tests are online, so you just look it up in the book. He's smart, but kinda stares at students when talking.It's mostly about drugs/alchohol and sex. Pretty easy A though.

Comment:

This class was one of the easiest I have taken so far. The test questions are directly out of the book, so you can just sit there and scan during the tests, which are online. The professor is somewhat boring, but he knows what he is talking about.

This is an easy A. There is a bit of work but hes an easy grader. The class is super boring and he is as dumb as an ox. If you want an easy easy easy A and never want to go to class, take it. Its real nice! =) Palmer is so ridiculous tho......

Comment:

Horrible Horrible Horrible. This guy should not be teaching. This class reminds me of Ferris Bueller's day off with Ben Stein. He talks in a monotone voice about nothing. His test questions are so vague they are impossible to know the answer. I want my money back seriously what a crock. The irony is he is teaching as class about how to teach.

I think this class is a total waste of time. He does random Google searches for half of the class period and doesn't update the material he gets his tests from.

A lot of busy work for this class. Very boring lectures, but you get to decide your own grade so thats pretty cool.

Comment:

Palmer is an interesting guy. I didn't learn a whole lot even though I went to EVERY class period. You don't have to come to class. You make a contract for your grade. Though it is easy to get an A in the class. Just be prepared to be bored and not get anything you paid for out of the class.

Very boring class, but super easy. You get to make your own grading contract and you have the option of making attendance worth 0% of your grade. Unless you are incompetent, you will get an A.

if you don't get an A in his class there is something wrong with you. You won't learn much, sometimes its nice to get an easy A with minimal work. Palmer is a good guy, very nice and easy to talk to.

Class is very easy since everything he covers most people learned in junior high or high school...however make sure you turn in all assignments because I missed one and he gave me a C for the class. Final is online and very simple. Class is very very boring.

Comment:

This class is easy because you create your own grading contract. Make sure to keep copies of all your emails because at the end of the semester he grades you based on them. (I had a problem with that but got it fixed) Boring class and lectures though.

Comment:

What a waste of time, seriously. I'm so mad because of this kind of low quality crap- both the class and teacher. A couple times I had to leave class early because I could no longer justify wasting away such beautiful afternoons in his class. I learned more playing frisbee.

i didn't learn anything in this class. He has no lesson plan just talks about stupid stuff the whole class time. Easy I only went like 5 times and got a good grade. Don't take it though it's just painful.

Comment:

yea, this class is a joke- the only good thing about this teacher is that he has contract grading which means you never have to show up for class and it doesnt hurt the grade. he also has take-home tests. dont take it unless you have to!

Comment:

Mr.Palmer is very laid back and he is a very nice guy and teacher. He is helpful and actually cares about his students and how they perform in his class. He gives open book, take home tests that are true/false tests - soooo easy. This is an easy A class to take. I recommend it.
