Engaging lectures, recognized it was a grad school class in which we all had things outside of school (field placement, jobs, families et al) and treated as such. Two exams, participation,and "glancing" at readings are all he worried about. If you show up, pay attention, look at powerpoint and occasionally add a comment while in class you're set.Rate My Professors ↗
A great guy. Straight forward class; 2 exams and participation. Take decent notes , pay attention and the exams are fairly easy. As for participation, stick your hand up every once in awhile and you're fine.Rate My Professors ↗
Joe was an excellent professor. He was engaging, hilarious and extremely straight forward as far as what he expected. There were two exams and really no other assignments other than a decent amount of reading. The exams were pretty easy if you actually paid attention in class and did most of the reading. I highly recommend him.Rate My Professors ↗
