If you've ever watched the movie Freedom Writers, you'd see that Shawn Jarmuz is very similar to Hilary Swank's character in the sense that he cares about his students, he cares about children and their development, and he cares about the importance of this subject. He is truly inspiring and awesome. I simply adore this professor.

Not a fan of his pop quizzes. They aren't easy and he will give you them without even covering the material first. He also strongly hints it will be one day and give them a class period before the day he hints at. Be prepared to read the text book. But besides that he's a good guy and the class is ok. There is a paper and group presentation.

By far my favorite class and professor at Lewis. So funny, down to earth, and relatable. MAKE SURE YOU READ! He doesn't ask for much except that you read the material he assigns. Tests are easy, he does a lot of games with the class, lectures are mainly PowerPoint, and the study sessions are something you should go to when he has them.

He is an easy teacher, it's a quick pass class. However, he is very loud and tries to be funny. He interjected in my conversations with other's before class started. If he gets the hint that you do not think he is funny, then he will bother until you fake laugh. But if you like to dose off and not pay attention you will be fine.
