Awesome teacher! He keeps you interested. There are plenty of extra credit assignments. If you do the review for the test you will def. get a great grade on it. Make sure to start the writing assignments in the beginning of the semester, otherwise you will kick yourself for it. I learned a lot!

this teacher is one of the coolest i've ever had. anything of importance he repeats over and over on top of giving a self explanatory study guide for each test. he also gave the opportunity for plenty of extra credit. the class is fun, so its not a problem with attendence, and with study guides and extra credit, this course makes for an easy A.

Yeah... he is pretty hot... but thats besides the point! This class was actually pretty interesting. All you have to do are journal entries, tests, and quizzes.

I didn't think this class was as easy as people here make it sound. The tests were hard,& he is very specific to what he is looking for in your answers. It takes more time & effort than I thought it would be to understand the material well enough to leave with an A. If You think you can go and screw around,& bs your way thru it, you're very wrong.

Lots and lots of work! But if you take notes and study all the lectures it isn't that bad! It just takes a lot of studying, and remembering all the right people with the right stories. But he is extremely understanding and nice, I'm completely happy with my final grade in this class, as tough as it was, I am very happy I took it with him!

He is quick to respond to emails and will answer any question you have. I took the online class, so there was probably more reading involved than normal, but everything you need for the tests and quizzes will be in the material. For an online class I really got the impression that he loves what he teaches which made it more interesting. He's great.

What is really fantastic about him is that you can tell he loves what he is talking about and that shows through his enthusiasm during his lectures. DON'T let your phone go off in class and DON'T leave, not even to use the bathroom. He WILL kick you out. BUT he can be very understanding if you sit down and talk with him.
