Never in my life has a teacher made me want to jump out the window or throw myself in to oncoming traffic!!! He would always come in to class 5 minutes late with a latte in hand and the worst pit stains that I had ever seen. You could spend hours on end perfecting a paper and then get it back feeling like all the work that you had put in to it was useless. AVOID this red-headed devil at all costs...he's evil!!! I will say that his class is challenging, but its not worth the stress.

Professor is boring or bland

Expectations are unclear or lofty

His bland style of teaching consisted of forcing his students to make notecards to show they had an understanding of material that had everything to do with politics and nothing to do with literature. I forgot I was taking an english class, I could have sworn it was poly sci 301! If you like succeeding in classes I would highly advise you to select any other english instructor.

I had Adam for my Humanities last spring. I just took the class to get a requirement out of the way but he really opened my eyes to the bigger issues of the world. I've never worked so hard and felt so motivated about a class in my life. I thought he was a great teacher and even started writing things down he said in lecture just because they were so brilliant. Things come up in my classes now that he mentioned before and I constantly think I wish I could talk to him about them. It pisses me off assholes write shit about him here because he was too good for the stupid losers who go to WSU. I hope they get the dead end jobs they deserve. Adam rocks.

Positive:

Good professor.
