PHLS 3110V human sexuality was fun and had interactive lectures based on discussion. Overall it was one of the most interesting and fun classes I have taken in college and I would recommend it to anyone! Online textbook was unnecessary to purchase but overall not a bad workload and well worth learning about the content. 10/10 class & professor.

I enjoyed history 101 with him, he pretty much talked the whole class and you would get points if you participated.

Travis was great. I really like his lectures. He tells a lot of stories and I learned a ton from class. The discussion sections were okay, but I preferred lecture.

Travis is an extremely monotone, boring lecturer. He reads right from his printouts and the lectures are some of the most poorly organized I've ever attended. The class itself was fairly interesting, but I would not recommend it. The class had no exams or quizzes - only 4 papers, so if you're not a stellar writer, do not take this class!!!
