A classic case of a teacher who knows his topic but doesn't know how to teach it. Waste of time and money if you want to learn.

The "paper chase" method mentioned below is generally known as the "Socaratic" method in academic circles.

Dr. Glenn made the class worthwhile. He would not only clarify the textbook information, but he was extremely engaging and interesting. He does require that you come prepared to class by reading the book and taking notes. But if you can't handle that, please just drop out of college!

Glenn is a firm believer in college students teaching themselves. He wants you to read the book before class, and then discuss the material in class. THIS IS COLLEGE, its to be expected. If you don't like work, don't take him. But he is extremely knowledgeable, is not biased AT ALL, and does care for his students. Tough sure, but more than fair.

Despite what he says, this class is not like law school. In law school, for an exam, you are given a fact pattern then have to issue spot and apply the relevant rules from the cases you read. In this class, just like all your other formal education, you just regurgitate. In this class, there's also a paper that has extremely vague instructions.
