Every comment made in 2008 is true in 2011. Still unorganized and ill-prepared for lecture. Exams and homework assignments were full of errors. Overall a very easy class, but it tries one's patience.

He was a really friendly guy, however a lot of things could become unclear.

He's pretty easy. The sunset lab was ridiculous, but we figured out how to fake our results anyways, so it was no big deal. Disc. clears up a lot of stuff. Uses clickers for attendance. Go to lecture, do hw, and it's an A. His midterms are ok. The 1st was medium, second was easy, & he adjusts scores :-). Copy down the clicker ?s to ace quizzes.

Some what unorganized. Don't think he wrote the power point, which is riddled with mistakes. He emphasizes concepts, not the math which makes it really simple. Read the text book and this class is an easy A. Very interesting class though.

very unorganized lectures and makes no sense when he is teaching. once you read the book you then realize what he was trying to say. i only went to class to get my daily points for the clicker questions but other than that i learned all of the material from the text and TA. interesting material and easy for the most part

this class was pretty interesting and easy, you just need to study his powerpoints for tests. the labs were horribly planned and difficult, but it was his first semester teaching so he might change them. they were only worth 5% of the grade anyway.
