Comment:

Lectures are super boring. I just brought my laptop and did whatever. Be prepared to read EVERYTHING he assigns outside of class because he lectures only certain topics. If you do everything you'll be fine but paying attention in class is a waste.

His lectures are a bit dry, but he know what he's talking about. He tells you how to study for his tests and gives major extra credit. He also grades on a curve! my 40 turned into an A

Awesome teacher! Loves to joke around and make fun of students but nothing too harsh. The class is pretty easy if you pay attention and study. A lot of extra credit opportunity so I highly recommend this class. Great teacher!

Comment:

This teacher is funny! His lectures are boring, but his comments on picking on the students are worth attending class. He is always late, and I would score 30s on his exams, but I did his extra credit and made a B! His curve made my grade!! Do his articles & attend class, and exams will be cake.

We didn't use the textbook while i was there, he does not write on the board. you have to take notes on what he says and if he catches you reading the textbook he'll slam it shut.

Comment:

This class was really boring but it wasn't that hard. The lectures were very very loosely related to the textbook and niether were any more related to the "reader" so you pretty much had to pay attention in class and do all the assigned reading if you wanted to do well. He didn't give us any extra credit but he did give a generous curve.

Comment:

Dull class, but nice guy. Lots of extra credit. His tests have detailed questions. Read the articles!! He's simple, kind, and helpful. He can be corny, but i find it funny (I guess because I am corny too!) He gets ticked if you sleep in class or use your phone and will make a big deal of it in front of the other students.

I totally thought i would fail. Have to admit it is a hard class, but he gives you points by showing up along with major point for extra credit. The extra credit IS WORTH IT!

He is awesome, funny, entertaining, and helpful. He's been teaching for a long time so he wont get personally involved if you need the help, but he does go out of his way in every other respect to help you get that grade. It's exciting to hear him speak! He loves the subject he's teaching. Oh, and yes, take notes, pay attention, don't sleep in clas

Comment:

He is a great teacher that is very knowledgeable on the subject.His lectures make up a big part of his exam, so paying attention in class is very important.He gives curves, so If you pay attention in his class and do the reading assignment, you should do well.
