Although his class is interesting and I enjoyed being in his class, the tests are a little tricky...and he leads you to believe that it will be really easy. Oh and he talks really really fast, so I had to get used to that. HINT: go to class because he does a lot of easy assignments that really make a difference in the end.

Dr. Strathman's tests are really difficult and require a lot of studying and reading of the textbook as often there is a lot of info from the text instead of lectures on tests.

He has an outline of his lectures that you can buy for like $3 and it helps take notes because you pretty much fill in the blanks.
