Well I took this teacher because he had such good poly ratings and he was recommended to me by other students..Boy were they wrong!! I'm not sure if he was just having an off quarter..or whether he was pissed off most of the time because he was teaching a 180 person lecture where people would just get up in the middle and leave. Class was a complete waste of time because he would just stand up in front and read exactly what was printed in the book..nothing else..no interesting lecture..no interaction...just reading..for TWO hours :( His tests were not fair..they would ask about small details that you were expected to remember (without warning I may add) spanning over about 200 pages each of mythilogical stories. His test took him like 3 weeks to grade and his questions were incredibly vague. His final was a surprising 40 multiple choice questions (not good considering the amount of reading that was expected..accompanied by the fact that you could only miss a couple of questions to get an A.) Overall I would suggest not taking this teacher for any large lectures..maybe he just does better with smaller classes..i don't know..I did however go to see him a couple of times in his office where he was very helpful and kind..far different then the behaviour that was exhibited in class, which again leads me to believe that he just might be better for small classes only.
