Comment:

I did not buy any of the books and received a B in the class. There is no agenda to dates besides the midterm and final. Overall, the class was very difficult because for the final he expected us to read 600 pages for a 100 question final. Absurd. Next semester the class is online completely, lucky.

Comment:

We meet 3 times a semester: First week of school, for the midterm, and the final. All of the readings are online. However, there are absolutely no homework assignments or quizzes which I don't like. The class is based off of a midterm and a final. The good news- the course is curved! The book is a must for the remaining material after the midterm.

Not bad at all. Different from what I expected (which was to be very bored.)

Wow! Unusually mind-expanding. Thought the tests were a bit over the top, but at least hard study paid off.

He doesn't talk down to you. You feel him just pull up to his level and you feel really smart. I loved this class.

You hear that he is a hard grader. But really if you listen and do what you are suppose to everything is quite workable. I liked his lectures and I learned a fantastic amount.

If you don't want to work hard do not take this class. But if you are willing to put out the effort it is well worth it.

Not like a lot of other profs I have had: is so humble. Yet, when he speaks you want to listen up. Take this class to learn much.

At first was a bit stiff and shy, but got warmed up and could really get me turned on the topic (which doesn't happen often in my other classes). Good class. Recommend.
