Dr. C is the BEST professor ever. He is very humble and has much experience in the field. He has been my advisor for three years now and is always there when I need him to be (even at 2 am).

My own belief is that he is a great guy, but not the best professor. He is often vague in his instructions. However, he is fair. He will remove tests questions that are unfair which is great. He does take a long time to grade. He'll answer questions quickly but I do wish he was more clear with what he wants because it's hard for students to guess.

Courtright is a super nice guy. Though he doesn't take attendance for a grade you shouldn't plan on missing many classes because you will fail. A lot of test questions will be based on what he says in class, so take good notes! Overall not a very strict or hard professor and he likes to joke around!
