Comment:
I was reading the reviews and i love how someone used "affable"in a sentence(one of our vocab words). There are three vocab quizzes so make sure you do them each chapter in the book. He randomly collects hw.Fun class.We did group activites which were fun(except for when we had to remember everyones name and a fact about them).Take him if you're shy

Consists of: Three main tests 80 points each. A quiz for each chapter(about 8)and a final.Funny teacher.No presentations just group work on some days.DONT MISS more than 3 days or 25 points will be deducted!If you are late more than 3 times it will be a 5 point deduction.Pretty easy class and the book was interesting.

Comment:
Real nice guy. Comes off "weird" at first, but after two classes he's very affable. Easy quizzes almost every class from the reading. He's pretty funny even though his jokes fall flat sometimes. He allowed make-up exams without having to ask for them. I would recommend this professor

(Fall 2k8) Hilarious. Lots of fun. He can be kind of harsh, but his jokes and stories are great. Easy class if you pay attention. Quite a few quizzes, but nothing too difficult, and TONS of extra credit.

Comment:
i would suggest another teacher...if possible. He doesn't teach at all. His routine is quizzes all the time the are worded in a tricky manner.No fun especially when you knew the answer. Group activity's are fun...but pointless. The book..he wrote it so seriously you can just buy and read it and you don't even need him. Dont take him.

Awesome teacher. So funny. He has the best one liners. Very comfortable in front of class. Made it fun to learn. Tests were semi hard and a little confusing. I would take him again. Class flew by and working in groups were fun.

The exams aren't that hard, so long as you read your text book and PAY ATTENTION. If you can't pass this class, there really is no hope for you. He's a good guy, and he does care about his students. Very fair grader, does everything he can to make class interesting.

Comment:
This is an instructor who enjoys his topic of choice, and grades fairly with plenty of opportunities for points. This is one of those classes where if you just show up and participate you should do just fine. Enjoy the corny jokes and look out for the false dichotomies... Definitely take this instructor!

So basically, the trick questions are not that tricky. Just read the question a couple times and everything should be good. For this class, memorize the book, which isn't that hard, and the class lectures are the same EXACT thing as the book. It's cool in the beginning but it drags on during the semester. Phelan is a cool guy and I would reccomend!

He's an nice guy and is pretty funny. But the questions in the tests can really screw you up sometimes. He'll trick you with throwing in 1 word that will make you get the question wrong. That was my only complaint with him.

He's not that bad. He can be funny sometimes. No speeches, just a lot of group activities. Quizzes, vocab tests, and tests are from the book so you need to read a lot.

Phelan's a good guy and the class is pretty straightfoward. Several quizzes and a few tests. HW collected at random so do the bookwork. Q's on quizzes and tests are annoying. Feels like he's trying to trick you into the wrong answer sometimes. Lots of really silly group activities. He's a funny guy at first but it gets old real fast. Ok class...

He is a great teacher. He knows a lot about his subject and is quite enjoyable. He's pretty funny once the class warms up to him. Take him and you will be happy!

Nice guy, pretty funny, but way to much group work. If you take this class be prepared to do activities like vocabulary, find the hidden picture, and other such 4th grade material. Feels more like grade school than college. But he is extremely nice, and this is an easy way out of public speaking.

The are no speech presentations in this class. Lots of group work. You will need to read the book to do well on the quizzes. The exams and finals are basically repeats of the quiz- so remember the quiz questions.

Comment:
Phelan is NOT a dork!!! He's one of the best teachers I've ever had, anyone who says otherwise obviously can't recognize how intelligent he is. He has a dry sense of humor, which might scare off people who can't take a joke, but his class is super easy, clear, and interesting. The subject material itself is pretty boring, but he makes it fun.
