There is a quiz every week, but you can drop 3, they count for 40%. There is a midterm and a final,they count for 50%. The other 10% is from attendance. The class overall is not that easy but I truly loved the professor. Super nice guy and he is eager to teach.

He helps everyone (he will go over and over the material until everyone understands it & puts in office hours) Makes the subject fun with examples everyone can relate to. It's very important to make it to every class since you must take notes, read the book, and have a test every week.

He is a good teacher, clear, thorough. Summer A, fast paced, 4 quizes, 2 tests. Tests/quizes are a bit tricky, you will need to read the book and slides and understand the material real well. Only issue is that he is a bit narcissistic, loves attention, specially from an annoying group of girls, which you will probably encounter

Great teacher, too class in summer A- probably would've been better during spring or fall. Within the 6 week period there isn't much time to fully go over things so we ran out of time often and spent all class typing/writing notes.. Tests are easy if you study. Quizzes are easy too-- but only if you study. If not good luck :/

He reads from the power points and blazes through them quickly. He will stop and answer questions but doesn't really offer great examples and can leave you hanging sometimes. His tests can be hard but he does an AWESOME review right before the tests. You have to attend his lectures to pass, the book is okay but was difficult to follow sometimes.

The professor knows the subject well, however, his teaching method is not very helpful; on one class he would go over the material quickly and the other class he administers a quiz. his quizzes are very ambiguous and unclear. when asked a question, his answers are unclear and most of the times not helpful. but if you put the effort youll pass.

Very smart guy but he flew through the class one day of the week and gave a test the other day of class. Tests seemed to concentrate on exactly the things he spent the least time on in class, questions had more than one possible answer in many cases and tests were never reviewed so that we could correct wrong answers.

He is a great guy but as a teacher he is not very helpfull. He does not go over the test so you can correct your mistakes, infact he does not even hand you back the test to see what you got wrong.

Do not like his teaching methods at all. He basically reads off his ppts. Interesting subject, and he is extremely knowledgeable about it, but waste of class time because you don't even have time to write notes about it.

Class consists of lecture on 1 day of class and quiz on 2nd day of class (ex. class on Tues. and quiz on Thurs.). Quizzes based on PP's, TAKE PICTURES OF THE POWERPOINTS! He can sometimes get off topic, but overall knows the subject very well. He can be little into himself so if you can't accept that then don't take him, I found it to be funny.

Does take along time to put up grades so it's hard to keep track of how you are doing in the course. Other than that, class is simple. 1 day lecture, 1 day quiz. Unless you miss class you don't need the book. Take pictures of ALL the powerpoints and stay after class for the review and you'll be fine.

Well, he really should hire someone to post the grades for him. We were close to the end of the semester and he hadn't put any grades up since our midterm!!! You know what to expect in the class and it's simple as long as you like to read and work for it. At the end of the day, it's college. It's bound to be hard sometimes.

Professor Ventura gives everyday examples to help you understand the vocabulary. His classes are based on PowerPoint presentations that summarize what is in the book.
