Very caring and understanding. Probably one of the best teachers I've ever had! So sweet and is helpful. Lectures are clear and prepares us for tests. Doesn't stress out students and is considerate of our personal lives outside of class.

Comment:

This professor is extremely inappropriate and continues to make weird jokes. He makes fun of students and doesn't focus on anything in the classroom that has to do with the test. He swears he is the best teacher ever but everyone i have talked to dislikes him and agrees that he is extremely odd and needs to stay home.

Comment:

This class had 3 exams, 1 paper, 1 group project. All the exam questions came from textbook. Lectures did not reflect exams and were boring, also no study guides. Overall I feel I would have done better if this class was online. His grading criteria was awful and my final grade did not reflect the whole semesters work due to one bad exam.

Comment:

This guy is seriously the most boring professor I've ever had. He also takes things very personal and holds grudges against you for simple stuff such as not bringing a stapled paper. Reads straight from the slides, makes many inappropriate comments (called one of the students a sex worker), and talks about his personal life too much. Do NOT take.

I didnt feel my grade reflected the amount of effort I put into the class. Tests are difficult and no study guides are given, his in-class lectures dont cover enough of the material.

Comment:

He didnt seem interested in helping students pass. High drop rate, low test scores, and a deflated final grade. Wasnt receptive to constructive criticism about his grading system, but was fairly engaging with his lectures (they just dont cover much of the test material).

Comment:

He's very experienced and a really interesting person! He's kind and likes to joke around with the students. Tests are somewhat easy as long as you study the notes and read the chapters. He seems to enjoy teaching and cares about his students. Would definitely take his class again.

Comment:

It's easy to pass his class. His tests are easy, but the questions might be vague. It's important to ask him for a clarification. Tips: reading those required chapters and memorizing those info for tests because he won't give you study guides. I have a faith in you because you WILL pass (:

Professor Neal has a lot of knowledge and experience but he does not know how to teach. His powerpoints dont help much. You basically have to read the book and they are long chapters.

Comment:

Very clear grading criteria. Attendance matters. Uses the book every day. Highlight in the book everything he reads and write down everything he says. Go back over it to study, cause the test questions come exactly from the book. Sit up front for him, don't be afraid to speak up. I shared personal stuff in class and he was very helpful all around.

MR. RUDBERG IS AWESOME! He is very into class discussions and expects you to at least scan through the chapter before class, but doesn't penalize you points-wise if you don't (although he may verbally call you out, its in a playful manner). He likes to treat every student like his good friend and learns everyone's first names quickly. Love him!

He just reads straight from the book. He doesn't make instructions clear for the paper that you have to submit. Also, attendance is important.

Lectures directly from the book and throws in personal examples and experiences to make it clearer. 3 non-cumulative tests, a group project and a short paper. Show up for class because attendance counts. Gets to know you and includes you in the discussion do pay attention. Cares about your success and offers good life tips. I'd take him again.

Comment:

Took him for Human Sexual Behavior, and it was the worst class ever. It was super boring and hard to stay awake most days. He reads directly out of the book and his tests are so specific (ie. statistics). I will never take him again.

Comment:

I'm an older student and his class was one of my first college classes so I waited a while to see what other professors are like. Good thing I waited. Chaos in his class. Can't keep students attention. Digresses about his personal life. Reads from book in class above all the talking and chatter. Very difficult to keep on track. I don't recommend.
