Comment:
I think he talks to much for an honors class and as a result Its hard to develop ideas to use for the papers. Also You have to write a paper on the book before the lecture and before we talk in class. He was kind and after I fell behind he was helpful Didnt like the class because he talked to much and I didnt get many ideas, they say hes a genius

Comment:
Among my favorite Honors Professors. Like others said, he requires more and longer papers, and you really have to do the reading. if you do your part tho, the discussions are always rewarding. he's very fair, usually light-hearted, and you will learn a lot. rumor has it he can be bribed with Jameson Irish Whiskey, but we never succeeded.

I had Jim for HON 211 and 212. He has been one of my favorite professors at UMaine. I highly recommend taking any of the Civilizations sequence with him. You're writing will drastically improve!

WOW! Best honors preceptor I've had yet, definatly better than Alex Grab. This guy really knows how to make HON fun. Great classes, really good discussions, he knows what an honors class should be like. He requires a few more papers than the other profs. but over all is fairly easy and his grading is great.. all A's for me!

I liked Jim's teaching so much, I took several classes with him, and I wasn't a sociology student! Definitely one of the best professors I had at UMaine.
