Comment:
His classes are not hard at all. If you do the readings and show up for his class you will be fine. He does not use a lot of technology, and his lectures are straight to the point. Everything is fair game for the tests If you do not show up for class and miss the daily quizzes then your grade will suffer.

Absolute WORST teacher I've ever had as a student. Very rude, does not email back, and even if he does, he does not give an answer. Mr. Cross does not use any type of technology, he doesn't even give an outline as to what we are talking about. Attendance is mandatory because of daily quizzes. DO NOT take him unless it is absolutely necessary!!!!

He is never in his office hours if he is he wont let you in his office because he has mountains of stuff all over the place. He will barely talk to you and wont ever tell you what you are making in the class. You take 3 test and the last "test" is the average of all the quizzes you take in class. He does not email back.

Comment:
This class was based off of 4 test grades and an average of the pop-quizzes as another test grade. He never gave reviews, lectures bounced around and tests would be based off of the book and lecture notes. Never had power points and rarely wrote on the board as a visual aid. Also class attendance was mandatory in order to take the pop-quizzes.

His class is pretty hard to keep up with. You have to write really fast to keep up with his notes because his tests are book and lecture based. He is not too friendly when you have a question and he does not respond to email or show up to office hours if you need to meet outside of class.

Each class is just him talking. At the end of each class he will give a quiz over what was talked about. There are 4 exams, each counting for 20% of your grade. Each exam consists of anything spoken about or mentioned in class and in chapters (approx 120 textbook pages). He doesn't use blackboard or show your grades Upside: he can be really funny.

His lectures arent very long but theres a lot of information. Half the test is what the lectures are over and half is from the book. If you listen in class and read the chapters, youll pass.

Comment:
Worst teacher of my college career. Very unresonable and mean. Doesnt use blackboard or any thing online. You have to pick up your tests from his office only during his 2 hour office hours. youll never know your grade if you dont have the time to go get them. Lectures are very monotone with no use of powerpoint. Its just him talking for an hour

Comment:
He was very cut and dry in his lectures. He doesn't use blackboard and is not overly helpful if you have questions. He is very thorough in his lectures and if you take good notes and show up to class you can easily make it through that class. Definitely read the articles in the book and review to vocabulary. Overall, he was a good professor.

cross was a okay teacher, theres quizzes at the end of every lecture. he does provide your test scores though after every test but not your quiz average. he makes snarky remarks every so often but overall hes not that terrible as a lot of people say. just go to class, read the book and youll pass.

Comment:
While Dr. Cross does lecture heavy and give lengthy tests, it is not a difficult class. He gives ample time for test review in class. He does not lecture from a powerpoint. However, he is very intelligent and knows what he is talking about. Dr. Cross is NOT a liberal person and will not try to force his views on you. Overall a good professor.

Go to class and you'll pass. He gives a quiz at the end of every class (5 questions) only over things discussed in class that day. Plus that's what he uses to take attendance. Tests are pretty easy and straight forward. A lot of textbook reading but worth it. He's very liberal and makes funny comments during lectures.

If you skip class, you won't pass. He gives quizzes EVERY class and they are each 5 questions.... (on a good day) He won't help you out with your grade and doesn't teach. He lectures, but lectures over things that aren't even on the test. It's your responsibility to know EVERYTHING with no help.

Daily quizzes is how he takes attendance, so there. Lectures all class, you take notes, then quiz - easy bc you can use your notes. Often he goes on random rants you just have to sit there for. Tests are kind of hard. Only read the chapter summaries. Super rude human being. Doesn't give back any papers, so no clue what grade is until class ends.

He is terrible. DO NOT TAKE HIM. He lectures about absolutely nothing. His test are very difficult even if you study. I went to class, read to book, made notecards, and still got the worst grade of my college career. If you can avoid him, you should. If you do take him, show up every day. He gives a quiz after every dingle class.

Went to every class and read each chapter twice and made my own notes from the book, highest test grade I got was a 58. Takes quizzes at the end of each day and those saved my grade. He explains well but 50% of test is straight from book, not what he covers & you don't know what it'll be because tests are short.

SO HARD. He lectures, without a powerpoint, and talks very fast and not very clear. Lectures jump around and he often rambles, also he get irritated if you ask questions. Every class has open note quizzes, but he never gives the quizzes back so you don't know your grade. Test are very hard and cover the reading and class notes and uncovered info
