Tough teacher, but if you're there to learn you're okay. Make every class because he talks A LOT but it's all on the test and he tends to throw in info that isn't in the text and then test you on it.

This professor is really weird. He pretends to take "nice" pills in the morning. He tries to scare students & he doesn't like international students. He tries to move them somewhere else. He doesn't let the use of the phones. He likes to embarrass students!!

He has to be to the toughest teacher I've had in my life, when it comes to his lectures he doesn't play. You don't have to buy any textbooks in his class which is great but, you have to print out numerous short essays which you will have to read at home even though he reads it again in class. He's TOOhard of a grader, if you get him SWITCH TEACHERS

He does not make a good first impression, you will feel uncomfortable in his class for the first few weeks. All his tests were multiple choice, no exams. Most test questions are from the book. If you have good reading comprehension you can skip a few classes without failing. Took this as an elective, you can find the textbook online for free.

He was my abnormal psychology professor. He comes off very awkward and some what uncomfortable. However, his class was very interesting and I learned a lot. Smart guy, only bad thing about his class was too much reading. Also he posted no notes so you had to attend all classes. He read his notes but spoke way to fast.
