Chris Latty is new and he teaches Marriage & Family perspectives. He is so nice, helpful and he makes the classes really fun. You get points for group activities and there is no final. You get to watch movies and play games and there are no essay questions on the exams cuz he doesn't beleive they are fair. He's an all around sweet guy.

Dr. Latty is the most caring teacher I have ever had. He asks our opinions for tests questions and stuff so he know's what would be too hard for us or not. If you want a teacher who really strives to have his students get an A and understand all of the material, then take him. I never read the book, just the notes and I got an A on every exam.

Professor Latty is one of the best profs i've had. He'll start class by asking you to turn in a paper that none of us thought was due, then he'll tell you he's jokeing and it's due next week. He lightens the mood and always ask for your input on the class so he can make it the best he can. He gives great notes you don't really need the book.

I really like Dr. Latty. He's a nice guy and he's really considerate, but he sometimes lacks in clarity. The class assignments and group projects are easy, just attend class. His tests are a bit too difficult. Perhaps just worded a bit funny. Just study the notes and buy the book only if you feel it's REALLY important.

Dr. Latty is one of the most, if not THE most considerate prof i've had here at CMU. His assignemtns are EASY..but he makes up for it in his tests - very hard. You don't really need the book, seems like every one - no matter how they studied - got the same average results. He is very supportive, and an excellent prof!

Dr. Latty is a great person, I think he enjoys what he does but his class sucked. His tests are really hard and have a lot of information on them. He continued to tell our group that our project was going great and we were doing all the right things and then he gave us a C on it! I think he tries too hard for a 200 level class. Ease up a bit.

He is extremely helpful, patient, understanding, humorous and very personable. He has got the best comparative personal stories that tie into the lectures during class. It makes the class that much easier to withstand - it can get boring to withstand at times. I would highly recommend this class if you have the time to study and attend class.

I agree this teacher is charismatic and much more real than Angerra. Angerra comes across as professional but he is fake and thinks he is better than everyone.

Dr. Latty is a great prof! He loves teaching and loves participation within the class. There is reading - just keep up and you'll be okay. His study guides are vague, but if you know the content, you'll pass his exams. 100 points come from discussion group - go for easy points and good conversation. Also dos EC and in-class activities, easy points!

I picked my minor because of Dr. Latty. He is one of the best professors I've had here at CMU. The way he involves his own family in what we are learning really makes it for me because I would not be in the class if I don't love families. Exams based on book more than lecture but I didn't use my book. Taking good notes and asking questions helps.
