Sometimes amusing and even inspiring, but also way too pleased with himself and even kinda creepy. Loved by naive female freshmen.

Comment:

This guy really creeped me out. Maybe one or two female students liked him, but he thought we all were in love with him. Jokes were stale, hair was greasy. I'm very glad hes gone and I NEVER have to take a class or look at him again.

Comment:

Funny teacher, but tests were impossible. He gave contradicting material to what was in the book and the test was over both. Getting an A is not really a possibility. 5 out of 276 people got an A.

Comment:

He is the funniest teacher at USI. Unfortunately, he is leaving for New Jersey. However, as long as you STUDY you will do fine. His lectures really help you remember the material. Advice: Go to class and study more than the night before and you'll do FINE.

He's a cool guy. He makes class interesting, but don't think for a second that you'll retain everything by just listening to his lecture or reading his powerpoints. Take notes and read the book.

Very entertaining class and he made lectures interesting! The tests are hard and require reading the chapters to get a decent grade. The extra credit is VERY helpful! Great professor!

Comment:

Well on the first day of class this really cute guy walked in and turns out he's the teacher! Besides that he's a pretty good teacher. His lectures are funny and entertaining. But his tests are very hard and you have to read the book a lot.

Class was extremely interesting and he's very funny. Mandatory to study for the test if you want a good grade. However he offers loads of extra credit to boost your grade another letter grade.

Bloom was a funny teacher...I enjoyed most of his lectures! If you don't study, you won't do good. His notes are easy to understand if you take decent notes...I looked at the book maybe twice and I got an A!

I really liked his class! His lectures were interesting and funny at time! To do well you need to go to class, take notes, read the book, and study your notes, but its not impossible to do well. I would take his class again!

Comment:

Articles relating to fear are used as text. Some of it is interesting, but much of it is very technical. He offers little explanation about the material but chooses to release class early. Class averages for exams are very low, which means additional time should be used to clarify material. Physio should be a pre-req. Very slow to post grades.

Comment:

I thought the class would be really cool but it was kind of boring. He is pretty funny but he thinks he is 20 times funnier then he really is. The tests are kind of hard but he lets you get a ton of extra credit. He lets you leave early every day... I don’t think we stayed in there the whole time all year.

Comment:

Fun class. Chris is hilarious! I love going to his class, it's like my comic relief for the week. If you study the notes you'll be fine on the tests. I haven't read a single word out of the text book. He explains things VERY well. He's a really funny guy...I laugh out loud atleast ten times during each class! Take him!!!!!!
