Comment:
He is a fair teacher. As long as you read and study in advance you will do well. His lectures were helpful for conceptualization of the material. However the tests were based more upon memorization of the textbook information. You have to be willing to learn independently.

He gives 4 tests and drops the lowest grade. The tests are on the material from class AND the textbook so you have to read. Attendance is not mandatory, he posts the slides but the slides tend to be a little confusing as well as the review sheets. Gives one extra credit assignment. Not an easy A but it is good if this is your major

Comment:
Professor is funny, energetic, and knowledgeable. Course itself is strictly 4 non-cumulative scantron exams that pull from lecture and book evenly. Exams require a great deal of memorization from book/lecture. If you're on top of everything, you'll likely get a B, but you'll work for it. Professor is eager to help though, so visit during office hrs

Comment:
This class is very easy. There are no tests. All you have is a weekly chapter summary that is only a page long and can mostly be about what you thought about the chapter. Prof. J is very nice and helpful, you do have a presentation but this class is usually small so it isn't a big deal.

Comment:
Dr. J is consistently 10 minutes late. Attendance is optional but he gives test answers to people who show up. Don't miss the EC opportunity and don't buy the textbook if you dont have to cause he puts a copy on reserve at the library. Tests are not hard and he makes study guides. His teaching style is casual but he is one of the best profs at Cuse

Comment:
Don't suggest taking this class if you don't have to. His tests are hard- most of the answers come between 2 that could be correct. Even if you study your butt off there's always a chance you'll do horribly. Sure he curves it but not by much. Don't take this class.

Dr. Jorgensen is a great Professor. He helps facilitate students to think for themselves, not just do research. He strives to keep students interested by leaving assignments open ended so students can choose something they are actually interested in. I definitely recommend taking this course or any course with Jorgs.

Comment:
I don't recommend you taking this class if you're not good with hard multiple choice questions also if you don't like reading because everything is from the book or his lecture notes which is not organized and clear. If you have questions, ASK him before you fail. As much as I respect him, I didn't like how he taught.

Comment:
Personality was awesome. He is most definitely insane but I loved it. He'd just get all up in your face for no reason and it'd keep you into it. Concepts were not that hard. Honestly just study and you are fine. The first exam I didnt know about till about 2 min before it started. I looked over my notes quickly and got a C+. Final grade was B.

Comment:
He is ok. Slightly insane and makes ridiculous comments to try and keep everyone awake. Tests are all multiple choice, but really difficult. Its also hard cause 3 exams grades make up your final grade (with one short/easy essay option for extra credit) Boring class but he tries.

The material need more boundaries, and less subjectivity, but his eccentricity overpowered any faults there might have been with his teaching style. He's insane... but it's a good thing.

Comment:
Personality: Rough class, he hardly makes any sense as he rambles along apparently describing what is important to him. Read the book on your own, thats where he tests from. Don't bother asking for help in the class, he will lecture you about how you are supposed to study. Only bonus is that most people don't do well so big curve.
