He is a teacher who is passionate about ethics. He does not have a slant that you must adhere to to get a good grade. During the CTAP he was always available by phone for help. The only down side is that you should not expect your grades before the class is over,at the end of the semester. He will not hand work back that often.

I have to agree, there are 10 quizzes, 2 case reports(which should of been 4), after every chapter there are review questions(which if you do them, get an A on the questions automatically), CTAP was a lot of writing but he made himself available 24/7, and a final project and another long paper, lots of writing but awesome class and teacher!!

I would take him for everything if I could. Do the work and you'll pass. He is amazing and tough but not tough grader as long as you follow the guidelines for each assignment you'll get a 100% on them. Midterm is tough, final is easy (due to subject matter in both parts of the course getting easier). He has up to 100 points EC!
