Comment:

I had Clouser for 2 classes around 2003-2004. It is true he is an interesting fellow, but i enjoyed him. I did fairly well in his class, just paid attention. I enjoy eccentricities, and his hair is better than Donald Trumps! I heard he died, sad, i theres anyone like him left.

Comment:

I enjoyed his lectures...didn't just read aloud. If you read the text and attend the class (and pay attention), you won't have a problem. He has a lot of passion about his subject and brings a lot of his opinions/experience to the class. He's got a great sense of humor, but I don't think everyone gets it

Comment:

Hard but kinda cool. He's a disaster personally but his rants are fantastic. Read the book and copy anything he writes on the board and you can do well. The paper for his social problems course is difficult, but if you pick a good topic it's alright. If you can get past the hair, voice, clothes, disorganization, lateness and such he's ok.

Comment:

one of the worst teachers I ever had. Not only is he tough, but the worst part is, hes a real jerk, a horrible teacher, and extremely boring. Take another teacher or you may end up wasting your money.

Comment:

Probably THE worst teacher at Montco. Aside from his hideous comb-over, his lectures are sloppy, his office is horrendous and disorganized (paper all over the floor) and he LOST MY FINAL TEST! Now I am fighting the college to get my grade raised. Not my fualt he is too cheap to buy some 89cent wal-mart folders. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!!

Comment:

besides him telling us we are basically gonna die every class it wasnt that bad. some of his comments were pretty entertaining... i started a list of clouser quotes b/c they were too funny! everyone needs to stop hating on the hair...you gotta love the combover!! it gave me something to focus on instead of his i-hate-the-world lectures!! watch the little flappy thing on the back of his head when he paces all over the place!! good times...

Professor Clouser is a great teacher. He has an interesting sense of humor and if you pay attention and read the book you'll do fine on the tests. Little else is required. Nice guy too.

Comment:

Roman Catholicism? HELLO...for a long-time teacher at Montco to narrow in on one such specific viewpoint and denounce it and get away with for so long is so ludicrous! He has been teaching longer than these complainants have been alive. Get a grip!!!

He is a terrible teacher.. He needs to stop with this anti everything. He is a load of crap. I didn't pay for the class to hear his beliefs. I paid because I wanted to learn about Sociology..

I had him also for two different classes. Soc 101 and Abnormal Psych. Never noticed any anti-Catholicism or anti-religion or anti-Anything! One of the best teachers in my 2 years at Montco!

Pretty straight forward guy. Tends to make some funny sarcastic hints about how stupid some things are in this world. Also quite flexible with grades (handing things in and make-ups).

Concur with another post here: he is very anti-Catholic and it comes through loud and clear in his lectures. How does he get away with it?

Comment:

Had him for two courses in summer of 1985, and again in Fall 1986. Found him to be very prejudicial against Roman Catholicism.
