Comment:
He is so smart that he forgot what it's like to be a dumb college student therefore lectures are dense and fast! Entire grade 3 tests that are about 30-35 Qs (inappropriately short to gauge student knowledge). This class blocks students from PT school when they are smart enough to get in anyways. WARNING: Take elsewhere!! Studying is NOT enough...

Comment:
Great professor. Really knows his stuff and really wants his students to do well. Material can get confusing which doesn't help when it's 8AM. Thankfully, all of his lectures are recorded. He tests right from his notes. Do well on the first 3 exams so you don't have to take the final (which is cumulative)! p.s. the answer is horseradish

His note outlines are the best I have ever seen and extremely useful for both note taking and studying. He records lectures so if you are unable to make it you will be able to watch or rewatch the class. He ties all the material together very well and presents it in an interesting way. There is no curve, but the lowest of 4 test grades is dropped.

Comment:
Understand the materials & u will pass this class. Have 3 exams & cumulative Final. If u do well on 3 exams, u do not need to take final. It's your choice. He used most of the final questions from previous exams so go to review sections for the 3 exams if u planning to take finals. Some of the test questions r easy, some r tough. Be prepared.

Great professor! Notes are already typed for students to fill out and are very straightforward. Dr. Farkas cares about if students understand the material and will teach until it is understood. He is very available for help. This is a very hard class but if you study everyday and take advantage of Dr. Farkas's help, you will do well.

Comment:
I am extremely upset with this professor. He may be very good at what he does, but any time you have some sort of issue, he is rude. He promised us all a point for doing a course eval, and then put it on the test grade many of us dropped. Sincerely disappointed with this situation considering his teaching skills were fabulous.

He is a good teacher, very clear, and makes things simple. Test material gets tougher as the semester goes on. It is a good idea to get things clarified a week before you have the test. Rewriting all your notes was helpful for me. You don't have to worry about him being a hard teacher, taking notes in class is easy and straight forward. No Tricks!

Dr. Farkas is the best!!! His notes are very clear. He gives you practice questions at the end of every handout. He goes out fo his way for students and is an amazing teacher. Don't buy the book! It's expensive, boring, and all of the information on the tests comes right from the notes.

He really understands students. His notes are very good and as long as you study the notes you can get an A without opening the book. His tests are hard but very fair. If you study youll be fine. If you dont study youll fail. It actually tests students knowledge of the material and not their knowledge of how the teacher writes tests.
