Comment:
I'm a huge fan of "Sparky"; I was SO impressed that he had all our names learned in a week or so! He connected to us & kept our attention. The course was mainly discussion & thinking thru concepts/principles.Simple class- I hardly ever felt stressed over it.I know myself better now-we had a chance to really look inside ourselves. Highly Suggested!

Dr.MacArthur is insightful and fun. Get ready to seriously reevaluate your life a few times in this course though. What he teaches is useful and he really makes it about you. His tests aren't too hard, but go to class and do your reading. You get points just for doing it. It helped me get things together. Good class! :D

Comment:
MacArthur is a really nice man, but his class is little more than a hodgepodge collection of his personal opinion on family relationships and raising kids. He implicitly assumes that what did or didn't work for him is universally applicable, which was annoying for me. His class isn't too hard, but I'd find someone else if you can.

Dr. M is a great teacher. He has wonderful insight, and his class is super easy. He is interested in what you have to say and puts things in a new light. Take this class, it helps you learn so much about yourself and life in general.

"Life Planning and Decision Making"- I expected this class to change my life. It didn't. In fact, most days I felt like it was a waste of my time. He is a great guy, funny, helpful, etc. Most classes start out with a quiz from the huge reading the night before, and you write 2 papers which are 10-20 pages long!fine class, easy, just busy busy

Easy class, but can be very tedious. The assignments and readings aren't bad (most of the time they're worthwhile). However, all of the class period is used to discuss and you have to listen to the kids that like to talk all the time.

I love Dr. MacArthur!! He really cares about his students, learns all of their names, and is a teacher whose lessons will stick with you for life. The major self-assessments take up a lot of time, but they really help you in the end. Definitely take this class!

Good class. It helps you really know where you want to go. He focuses alot on memorizing facts, so be prepared. He'll help you if you need it, and he tells you everything that will be on his tests. Easy and fun class.

Dr. MacArthur is awesome. He is really nice. He learns everyone's names. Only 2 big papers that are easy and actually enjoyable to write (and I hate writing papers). Don't bother reading Asher Lev; just read cliff notes and you will ace the tests on it. Attend class...participation is a HUGE part of your grade, and quizzes cannot be made up.

loved the class, LOVED the teacher. He was one of my favorite teachers this last semester, he really cares about the students, and it is pretty easy, only 2 big papers to write. If you're looking for a pretty easy, fun class with a great teacher- this is it.

Good class, the professor is great and makes class discussions fun. There are a few major papers that are a beast to write. But all in all a good class.
