Comment:
Heavy lecturer and boring. He tries to make it interesting by having groups present which help a lot. He is a vault of knowledge. 1 group presentation, Notes are graded, 1 paper. Follow the instructions and you will pass. He grades very hard on the group presentation. You have 10 points of participation for every class you miss he takes 3 points

Professor has complete disregard for NASW guidelines, as he openly attacks viewpoints that are contradictory to his own. Several other students besides myself expressed concerns of his apparent disregard for the viewpoints and lifestyles of others.

This professor doesn't give tests but takes up your class and reading notes as part of your grade. He requires one major paper and a group project. His is very accommodating and will listen to student concerns, but he isn't a fool. He is also very bipartisan which is very refreshing with most professors either going one way or the other.

Dr. Popple is awesome. Popple will work with you. The only downfall I had was he really don't do excuse absents. But I would love to take his class again. He lectures are interesting, and he is easy to talk to. Awesome professor. Take him for every class he offers.

We didn't have no tests in the class because he didn't like tests growing up so he don't want to give them. We had was a presentation which was very easy, you turn in your book notes which don't have to be long at all and a paper about the presentation. it was a easy A. to get a A just turn in your notes and do the paper and presentation

Do not recommend. Seems to be phoning it in, doesn't seem interested in policy anymore. I get the sense he doesn't like students. Not receptive to questions, you're pretty much on your own. Probably years ago was a great teacher, not anymore.

Dr. Popple's class was fairly easy but I don't think he was very clear with his instructions. I was a bit confused when writing the final paper. I don't think 30% of our grade should be decided in one paper alone.

I liked Dr. Popple! He made class interesting and I was not really interested in policy at all! He has 2 take home exams which as long as you write a thorough answer you will get full points. The final paper is a little hard because its very comprehensive, but I got an A in the class. I would take a class with him again.

Dr.Popple was an excellent teacher. He was very clear on everything he expected from us and his tests were take home essays which included mostly opinion on things. As long as you had an opinio that could be backed up, you got credit.

Talks an AWFUL lot about himself. The book he aid we need for class was a waste of money. His tests are pretty hard since he only talks about himself & is incredibly vague about what he wants.
