Comment:
Do I think Prof Preis is a sweet man and wouldn't be surprised if he was also a beekeeper? Yes. But his lectures are done on slides over a projector, and doesn't always teach well. Has a curve, since I can't say my exams were the best. He admits some hw is hard but won't change it. TEXTBOOK HELPS but not required. Idk, taking his class is a gamble.

Comment:
He teaches on an old fashioned projector still so there are no slides available or extra tests on canvas. I ended up watching lecture from a different university to learn the material. He will explain stuff if you don't understand, but only 1 way. There is no transparency on how the grades are calculated. I got a 70 on a test and an A in the class.

He isn't the best teacher and no electronics in class but if you pay attention you'll do fine.

Douglas Preis is a terrible sneaky professor who knows he does a bad job but doesnt care because tufts doesnt have the courage to fire him.

Comment:
Class is structured horribly (independent of professor). For Preis, he's friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable. However, he is rather boring, and very laid back, which actually does more harm than good. Class isn't especially difficult, but be prepared to teach yourself the material before each quiz and exam. Not the worst ES 3 prof though.

His lectures were very repetitive. Try to find a different section if you can, didn't learn a whole lot from him as a teacher.

His classes were essentially useless. I would avoid him unless you plan on teaching yourself the material.

He is the worst professor at tufts. I didn't learn anything in his class. He makes the class so boaring and not interesting, but in reality, its a very interesting topic to learn. He is a waiste of time and money...skip him if you can...

Preis is adorable. I love love LOVE him. But I can't understand what the hell he talks about in class. The class has no structure and his lectures have no apparent point. But like I said, I still can't help but love him.

Comment:
One of the best teachers Ive had. He makes the material so easy to understand. Almost everyone in my class got A's while kids in other classes with different profs (who took the same exams) struggled to get B's. He is one of the few proffesors who actually gave a damn who I was.

He has no idea what is going on. You will learn nothing, but still be the best student he has ever seen. The constant jerking back and forth of his long, thick beard will keep you mesmerized for hours.

All I can really say is that he is Bojangles. His beard is long and i want to tug it. His horrible style of teaching is more than made up for by the show he puts on. I love that bojangly ****.
