Experiencing John Lambros perfom his in-class speeches, or lectures I'd unwillingly admit they were, was not only entertaining like watching Jay Leno but also very informing as when Keith Olbermann goes off in his commentaries on CNN.

Fun teacher. A few easy homework assignments and a few simple, easy essays. The tests are the main issue because 90% of the test is material you have to get from reading the book. The rest of the test material is from in class lectures. He never goes over the book. He gives study guides but they aren't very clear.

Lambros is awesome. you can't get an A or a B if you miss more than 3 classes but he is pretty cool about fixing attendance and making up classes. There were 3 big but easy papers and the tests are the hardest part, do the study guide and know it and this class is an easy A. The atmosphere of the class room is laid back and enjoyable.

Literally all of the class material relies on the book. What he does is he gives you a review packet in accordance to whatever test is coming up. You read the book and find the answers to the questions. There are in-class discussions regarding the material and Lambros does an amazing job at entertaining the class, despite being unclear sometimes.
