His class is soooo easy, you dont need the textbook. The notes that you take is enough to get you through the semester. His exams are extremely easy and he reviews with you. He also gives you points to receive on the exam. Hes great!!! Take him!!!

Comment:

I had to withdraw. I am an all A student and could not pass his class. He barely teach in class and the things he teaches in class he does not really explain well. If you are not a good reader and test taker I don't recommend him. If you are more of an independent student then he'll be great for you.

Comment:

He is a tough grader. If you don't read the text you WILL fail the exams. You do get open note and book tests but they are confusing so pay attention to details. (RTFB). He's got a great sense of humor. He cares about the grading and will grade on a curve if needed. Don't lecture the whole class time. Reading the chapters is a must.

Comment:

Read the book! Read it! Then read it again! You need to understand the material *in the text*. Most of the points come from the exams which are entirely based on the text. Best lecturer I've had so far, by far. Beware if you take his half-term course as you won't have much free time after studying (1 exam every week and a half).

Comment:

His class is very hard, and is mostly made up of tests. If you are not a good test taker and are not very well at reading and finding specific points in the book this class is not for you. He does not give much help and basically his class is all lectures.

Comment:

Bob is amazing. I took him for Intro to Soc. and looked forward to every class. His lectures (took up the entire class period) were so interesting and loaded with details that would blow your mind. You HAVE to read the book or you will not pass. 4 tests, no final. If you take good lecture notes and SERIOUSLY ANALYZE the text, you'll get a AB.

Comment:

I think Bob forgot which class he was teaching half the time. Most of his exam questions had nothing to do with what was discussed in class. He always cut class 30 minutes early or would cancel class for weeks on end. Saw him roaming the halls without shoes a couple times. He should probably retire.

Comment:

All of these people whining about Bob were obviously looking for an easy A in his class, which you will not get. He is a fair grader, all you have in his class is 4 tests and no homework, just make sure that you read your book and use the study guide he provides you, as well as taking meticulous lecture notes you will be fine. Great teacher!!!

Comment:

He is a really good teacher but his class requires alot of time and work. don't take more than 1 or 2 other classes when you take his class. If you don't care to study this is not the class for you and in all honesty college is probably not a place for you to be.

Comment:

Really funny guy, really hard class. He's not one of those teachers who goes out of their way to help kids. Class was canceled a lot because he didn't feel like teaching. Don't be fooled by the open book tests... They are VERY hard. READ READ READ, it's the only way you'll pass. He is hilarious though, so class was fun.

Comment:

Not a bad guy but definitely a bad teacher. DO NOT be fooled by the whole open book/notes thing. His tests are ridiculously difficult and test students' knowledge on random pieces of information from the text which are often totally irrelevant to the main concept of the chapter. Take lots of notes from the book and be meticulous in your note taking

Comment:

Heres the deal.. 'A' students will get their GPA lowered if they take this class w/him. 'F' 'D' students will become 'C' students. You can slack in his class because he will round everyone who is failing to a 'C' but if you work hard and try hard for an 'A' he gives you a 'C'.. Plain and simple, everyone gets a 'C' no matter what.. Hes a jacka$$!!
