His class is purely memorization from the book. Overall the class was hard, but with the quizes given daily it brings up my grade in the end significantly. The tests were hard but can be made up once for up to 70%. He expects the WHOLE class to answer him on every question he asks and I suggest drinking coffee before going to this class. Good luck!

Old school professor that uses a lecture style of teaching straight from powerpoint. He gives a daily one question quiz that is worth 3 extra credit points. I found the class to be an easy A. Just do the practice tests in the grade aid that comes with the book and you'll know all you need to for the exams. He's not for everyone, but he's decent

Epic fail. He enjoys, even laughs when students fail. Does not answer questions, only repeats what he just said or says to look it up online.Very condesending and mean.

I have never worked so hard to fail a class in my life. His tests are easy but even if you know the answers, you fail anyway.
