Comment:
Overall he's a really good teacher. Don't take his class at 8 in the morning because it might be hard to stay awake. He provides an outline, do those before each class, it makes life alot easier. I saw him outside of class the other day and he did not mind stopping and talking for a second, great guy, passionate about his topic.

He is a really great professor and makes the subject as relatable as possible. BE SURE TO READ! He quizzes on the readings quite often. Go to class and read and you will do great.

I'm not sure what these people are talking about. He is NOT easy. He doesn't give A's on his essays because he doesn't think undergrads deserve them. I mean he is a really nice guy outside of class...but not so much otherwise.

You definatly can't sleep in this class...meaning, read the book, study, and notes can be helpful. Dr. Eckberg is so nice but his jokes are a little wack. lol. EASY A if you just READ the BOOK, the Test (and 4 question quizzes) will be easy. Take him!!

He is really great for 201. He makes a lot of jokes and doesn't take himself too seriously. Definitely knows wtf he's talking about. Pay attention, USE THE STUDY GUIDES, read the book(s). The tests are kind of hard, but not if you study hard. I got an A. It takes work but definitely doable.

Don't listen to all the crazy people who say Dr. Eckberg is boring!! He is my favortie professor. He is really nice and encourages appointments in his office to help you with the writing assignments. There is a ton of writing in and out of class, but no tests. He is really funny. And pretty much amazing.

Dear God, this man is boring!!! I can look around the class now and see at least half the class is asleep. His test are dumb, you never know what he wants. and he FAILS as a professor. Don't take him if you want to still have brain cells by the time you graduate.

very good professor, really understands his students and is willing to work with them. tests were pretty easy as long as you read the textbook. there were 3 paper assignments and plenty of opportunities for extra credit. i would definitely recommend him.

Just about everything is hard in this classes...labs, tests, research, and pop up quizzes. Its is all pretty difficult. His lectures are difficult to follow at times because he rambles so much...I feel like I haven't learned anything.

How could you not just love Dr. Doug? He's a sweet, genuine person, very funny. Chat with him a bit before or after class. Not my favorite lecture format, but he's brilliant and knows his stuff, and will do anything to help you do well as long as you're really trying. Really, you won't find a more accommodating guy!

Very strict on attendance. Lectures were boring but make sure you pay attention, most of his notes can't be found in the book. He presents on the overhead and will usually email you the lectures. He's helpful outside of class, and doesn't mind if you call him. Just go to class, pay attention, and find a study buddy! He's test are difficult.
