Very funny, and enjoyable class. The class is very easy, I ended up with an A. Be prepared to read, and write a lot. However, it is very easy. Take this professor if you can. One of the best I've ever had.

At first I liked him, then started to get really sick of all his ranting and swearing. He grades more so on you agreeing with his opinion, than hard work. I also had no idea what my grade was until it was final because he doesn't inform you. Ended up with a C.

Amazing teacher, if you show up to class and listen you'll have no problem passing. Not much homework and all homework you do have is relevant not just BS. You have to be open minded to take this class in general but especially with him. Overall he's the best teacher I've had so far.

Anyone that thinks that Mr. Garcia grades based upon opinions obviously did not read the course work. Although opinions were prevalent and interesting, they were not part of the grading process. Don't be a ****, do the work, and you will get a good grade. Refreshing to hear some information that is relavent to the world we live in. Rock on Garcia!

At first I liked him, he seemed easy going. But, he's actually not a very nice person. I e-mailed him with a question and he talked to me like I was an idiot. He is also way too opinionated and grades according to those opinions. I would not recommend him.

Comment:
This guy is very opinionated, and he will have absolutely no problem ranting for hours about how the gov is screwing us. Very little homework, no tests, only take home and in class essays. If you have a hard time with essays, DO NOT take him. He does not value creative thinking; you cannot BS an essay. It's his way of thinking, or you fail.

He looks like a poor man's Steven Seagal, swears a lot and has many interesting opinions on things. Tests and papers aren't bad, just make sure you know the material well and you'll be fine.

Ray is a real person. He has opinions. Many criminal justice majors are too uptight to deal with his honesty. Too bad he had to move on.

He is WILD! From the mullet and shades, down to the boots. Don't let the appearance discredit his genius; he's a smart man. He likes to say the "F" word.

I thought his personality was a bit show-offish. Swearing offensive. Very biased world-views.

OH MY GOSH!!!!! INTERESTING TO SAY THE LEAST! If you have to take 201, try and get him.... If you don't have to take the class, it's an ok elective, but it's not the best in the world.
