Comment:

One mid term and a final. If you go to lecture and understand basic ideas, the tests aren't too difficult. Go to lecture to get extra credit from iclickers. One group presentation in discussion section and weekly readings that you have to write on. Do the readings, they are on the test.

Professor Parfait really cares about the subject matter and his class stays interesting. I really enjoyed this class because it actually applies to our everyday lives. Not difficult, just have to read textbook for homework assignments.

Comment:

His lectures are very disorganized, but you learn a lot from the readings alone that it's fine that the lectures are a bit messy. The discussion sections are the most beneficial time where you really learn the concepts. Overall a really good class that is easily doable and you actually learn a lot if you do the readings and attend section.

Comment:

He is a kind professor, the grades mainly depend on the TAs though so try to find out which ones are good. The professor is a good lecturer and seems to care about students. At the end of one of the lectures (not the last lecture), everyone clapped because he was so inspirational. The tests are open note so they weren't too difficult.

Comment:

An extremely intelligent man, but not a very good professor for introductory classes. Very disorganized but still managed to teach so that material stuck the first time hearing it. Attend discussionit helps. Go to office hours or email for help on essays and group projects.

Comment:

This class is way too much for 3 credits, from 30 minute student presentations to very vague and unclear essay assignments with changing and unclear due dates. The lectures are unsimulating and I felt like I am not learning anything at all. This class needs more organization and clearness.

Comment:

He's a nice person, but not the best professor. He didn't explain assignments clearly, so no one really ever knew what to do. Lectures were slow and somewhat disorganized, exams were all true/false and open book, the final project was pretty time-consuming, but not too hard.

Comment:

Nice guy, like everyone else said, but USELESS professor. He can't stick to the syllabus, he doesn't give students enough time to do assignments (he sprang them on us all semester) and you don't learn ANYTHING in class. Attendance is mandatory but it doesn't help. Also, don't waste $$ on the textbook.

Comment:

I really do like Parfait, he is nice, he makes cute jokes, and if you see him one on one, he is helpful. However, this class was horrible. We did not learn anything, and though Parfait is a great guy, he makes projects very vague and no one knows what is going on. I wish I could have learned to do more research, our project did not accomplish muc

Comment:

He really does seem like a nice guy, but as a Prof, I didn't really like him. His assignments and exams seem to be very arbitrary, and he wasn't really able to explain some logic behind arguments. It was all analyzing models, not really addressing the issues, which was disappointing.
