He gives two tests a midterm and a final. the tests are all essays. No matter how much you think you write he wants specific answers. If you love essays go for it. the midterm was so hard he had to give the test again because only one person passed the class. since he does not curve whatever you get will be your grade,it does not matter if 95% fail

This class is fun because we get to work in groups and get to see each others' point of views. But there tends to be alot of arguements brought up so it's hard for the class to actually progress with all these conflicts. The professor lets us deal out our own discussions and is very helpful with his imput. I have a feeling the exams are going to be very hard.

He is one of the worst professors at NJCU. He doesn't explain anything and if he does, it's not on any of the tests. I did very well in the class, but I had to work very hard for that. He leaves you on your own and doesn't explain anything. He wastes time talking about things that have nothing to do with the class. He's a nice person, but a horrible professor.

Wouldn't take again

He gives journals every week which requires you to narrate every little thing you did in class. He wants you to understand the book and incorporated in class and in the journals. He did not provide a rubric in the beginning of the class so I failed in the beginning journals. He still counted it towards my grade even though he did not explain.

He may be a good teacher in person but his online class is horrible. He created his own textbook which is full of typos/mistakes. There was at least one mistake every module leading the student to learn information incorrectly or spend hours struggling with the homework because he made a typo in the formula. Worst class ever -and i'm a math person.

Lots of homework

One of the hardest courses I have ever taken. I took this class over the summer to graduate faster (big mistake). His grading is confusing. He won't tell you what you need to do to get a better grade and you always feel like you're failing. He emailed us a workbook (he made) with many mistakes. We literally had to teach ourselves! I passed though!

Professor Lamar is the worst professor I have ever had at NJCU. Often makes students feel uncomfortable.. He isn't organized and is never specific when it comes to homework.

Horrible professor, it's his way or not. He won't change for anyone even if the class said something. His doesn't have a grading criteria, he grades it however he wants. He is also very rude when talking to students, he tries to joke about it but its very rude. DO NOT TAKE HIM OR ANY CLASS HE TEACHES.

I passed Dr. Lamar's class with an A. However, I would not take a class with him again. His class was very overwhelming because he gave lots of assignments and was not helpful with answering questions. He also often made students feel uncomfortable with statements he made.

This professor is a harsh grader that gives way too much homework. He would have an assignment due every week along with a quiz every two weeks. He often makes students uncomfortable with the things he says. I would not recommend this professor unless you want to fail or be stressed. His lectures usually consist of not talking about the hw or tests
