Comment:
This man is hilarious. Now, I didn't exactly "learn" much (most of the class consists of anecdotes about his life), but what was taught was enjoyable. The quizzes and exams are easy and there is only a single paper. I disagree with the negative comments. He is very open to opposing views. I guess you can't please everybody. Does have weird rules.

Comment:
He's honestly the nicest man, and he really cares about the students. He understands that people have different views on things, but I mean, come on guys, he's a priest. Of course he's going to teach from a Christian viewpoint. His lectures are actually very interesting and he's funny on top of that. Definitely would take his class again.

Comment:
It's your typical useless credit course. He is guy who quizzes on reading retention (useless) and his paper is unnecessarily difficult - minimum 6 pages and we can't use the Internet (WHO DOES THAT). He is a little pretentious and thinks he is above all else when his class is just a course people take as a required course. Lectures are good tho

The quizzes come straight from the reading. The midterm was easy. He makes the subject very interesting. He cares about his students and wants to build a relationship with them. Go visit him in office hours. He is someone who likes the class to talk and sometimes its like pulling teeth but actually talking will get you out early.

He is truly an amazing professor. I think the best one i've had so far at SHU and I'm a junior. He cares so much about his students and the material and always relates the lecture to an interesting story. No Hw just read for the quizzes and papers. He is a very fair professor too.

Honestly you will find on here a couple of comments of how he is strict about timing and the guidelines and takes the class seriously for no reason and all of this is true. He chooses favs and if you're anything but catholic you're better off not taking him, he's two-faced and will pretend to like you all the way up to when your grades are posted

First off, be on time and go to class because if you don't follow his guidelines he WILL fail you. Class wasn't hard, quizzes every now and then based on reading, midterm and final aren't terribly hard but require studying. Term paper also, don't put that to the last minute. He'll do as much as he can manipulating grades to help you pass

Very nice guy, I enjoyed his class. The material itself isn't too difficult, it's just that he made it so that we had to study for hours for a 10 question quiz, which he gave us about 5 of during the course of the semester. I just didn't have the time to devote to such a simple class.

One of the worst professors,plays favourites and does not like it when you say anything that is against his catholic beliefs or let me put it this way,you are better of never participating in that class than saying something he doesn't like because it will show in your grades.

Dont drink and drive is the answer to a question on every test. I had an independent study with him, he was very easy. He knows what he wants so be sure to check with him before doing anything or else you need to redo it again.

Do not take this professor. Takes the class way too seriously. The class should have been a breeze but it wasnt. Takes stupid things seriously and things that are important not seriously enough when grading.
