Comment:

He definitely cares about everyone's learning and is very passionate about the subjects he teaches. He is disorganized though, and while he may take months to grade papers and usually walks in 5 minutes late because he couldn't find a spot to park, it?s fun listening to him launch into triads in which he compares car insurance to the Greek gods.

JPC was a great guy and truly a good person. Class was fun and interesting but i didnt learn ANYTHING. His notes are impossible to follow and he is incredibly unorganized. Overall, i would not recommend taking him unless you want to just zone out for 4 months

Conley is the best! He wears cuff links and bow ties to class all the time, topped off with sweater vests! He tends to ramble, but is always hilarious. You'll learn a lot more than you think you're learning. Very easy grader and very fair!

JPC is pretty much the best thing about SMC. He's really fun, definitely intelligent, but a little clueless on teaching methods. If you honestly don't take a class with this man before you graduate, you're missing out. If you don't find him hilarious, then you don't know how to have a good time. He's an easy grader, you'll at least learn something.

best professor i've had at st. mike's. he's absolutely hilarious, and he loves class participation. you don't really have to do the readings, if you participate a lot, you'll get a good grade.

He was very nice, and had a lot of cute quirks. Class was a joke though- I went in to learn about myth and no one else seemed to. People went about half the time, seriously, and still got around a B. Bought unnecessary books for class. Nice, but there are a few downsides.

This guy is hilarious. My favorite line out of him has to be - "Give me a meatloaf and a beer and I'm all set"

This man is nuttier than a Xmas fruitcake. He is a lot of fun in class. I took Epic/Heroic after my FYS in Myth because I got an easy A, and enjoyed the subject. Unfortunately, his grading is very inconsistant and he has a tendency to make them up. I came out of the final expecting an A and ended up with a B+ for the semester. That's Conley for you

This Prof. is awesome-very friendly and very funny. Tests can be tricky and expects work to be handed in daily. I highly reccomend him-he loves what he teaches and wants you to love it too.

Awesome professor!! He can be a bit confusing sometimes, but it doesn't matter since his class is easy and he is an easy grader, just keep everything he passes back to you in case he forgets to record things in his grade book. I highly recommend taking one of his classes! His classes are soo funny!!

He forgets if you've passed in papers, and his grades are based on his mood. I thought he was a great guy, but his grading ruined everything.

does not speak clearly; does not teach the material if he discusses something in class you can be sure it will not be on a test; grades papers easily

What a swell guy. Always smiling and never forgets a face. The best was when he showed a slideshow in class of one of his many trips to greece with his daughter.
