Brother Coleman, is funny, he is kind, and willing to work with you to help you learn material. He likes to teach in a way that gives you a preview on things later in the chapter before teaching the things first in the chapter, which allows more learning time on everything. This class is test based, and there is no homework, other than readings.

All we do is class is mainly lectures. He's quite funny and if you ask questions, you will better understand the material. He posts the slides so you have all the info you need if you miss class (though listening to him is preferred to have a deeper understanding) and if you go over the slides before your exams and quizzes, you will be fine.

He's an awesome guy with a good sense of humor and quick to accept his mistakes and make them right! I appreciated how he was always willing to stay after class to address our needs and pointed out things in class that we would need to know for exams.

Brother Coleman is really nice and cares, but his teaching is a bit unorganized. He doesn't always finish slides or remember what's on quizzes, so the material doesn't always match. He tries his best but isn't very helpful. The class is slow, and it's easy to zone out. If you can study on your own, you'll be fine, but lectures aren't super useful.

So Brother Coleman is great, he knows the material really well and is very willing to help you in and out of class. Sometimes there would be tangents that didn't have a lot to do with the content, and what he wanted us to understand from what he did share wasn't always emphasized. His test reviews were awesome, and he wants to help students succeed

He is a great teacher who will try his best to help you succeed. he is very understanding and honest. He does get easily distracted so we often times had to remind him to do top hat or ask questions that would bring him back on subject. But honestly if you study the textbook quizzes you will do great in the class.

Rob is a great teacher. He is really willing to help students and answer questions. He holds weekly review sessions. I also think is funny which adds some extra interest to lectures.

Mr. Coleman is definitely very knowledgeable in this area. He is open and willing to answer any and all questions that might come up. He goes off on quite a few tangents that aren't relevant to this particular course but it's just because he likes to go more in depth than the class typically does. This did help deepen my knowledge on subjects.

It is a hard class but the teacher loves the subject and he wants to help the students to the best of his abilities. The canvas can, at times, not be up to date, but it does eventually get fixed. The course consists of two quizzes and lecture preparation weekly, four unit exams, two essays, and a final.
