Final Grade is an avg of 3 tests; only a tiny portion is notes: no room for f-ing around. Fairly knowledgeable. Sincere, but slightly biased & even offensive @ times. (Unless you're male, support state-sponsored violence, or watch FoxNews.) Overall, a thorough lecturer. Good thing he can teach b/c he's grumpy in the AM. Maybe he's nicer after lunch

This person talks in riddles and is completely unorganized in his teaching. One minute we're listening to jokes about some Russian he's impersonating, the next he speaks as about a new topic as if we're reviewing it. It's rare that he explains it properly when he does it's actually good. Tests can be easy or hard, it's one of those types of tests.

I took his honors class which is different from his regular class. The grading is: 3 research papers 30% each, a presentation 10%. So no tests or quizzes & he gives you a second chance on each paper. There is one deadline for everything at the end. Perfect attendance is not mandatory, the class is lecture but he's hysterical and it's interesting.

Wouldn't take again

HE only gives three tests the whole semester and I happened to miss one and the next day I received a 0 so there is no way to bring your grade up you better do good on the tests, thats all your grade is on which is so wrong. Horrible way of teaching he just rambles n and on for 6 days and then boom test. He is a nice guy though.

BRo his class during the pandemic is the easiest, legit I took his AMH2010 and AMH2020 classes he only gives out 3 exams and all the answers were on quizlet bruh, this was the easiest 2 A's Ive ever gotten in college but this is only possible due to the pandemic so If his classes are online still TAKE IT AND CHEAT ON THE EXAMS AND YOULL GET A A+

If he based his tangents on actual facts, I'd like him better. Sorry, the spread of misinformation shouldn't be a thing in a class from the professor teaching it.

Youll only have 3 exams and an outline. Pretty easy class if you dont want anything to heavy. He talks all lecture but ends on time and does gives pop up questions that help for tests. TESTS ARE NOT PROCTORED.
