Professors: Respond to evaluations by creating an account
Professor Salem is absolutely HILARIOUS. He takes attendance at each class, so make sure you are there. Plus his tests are based on all class notes. His exams are incredibly easy as long as you go to class and get the notes. He gets a little spacey and off topic quite a bit. Just wait til he tells you about the time he got shot.
Positive:
Good professor.

I had Salem for Practice. I have to say that he spends most of the time repeating things over and over again in just different words. Material is easy if you listen during class and take notes. Good class overall, real helpful in ways, I think it should be required at an earlier level though.
Positive:

Salem is a nice guy, but he can sometimes get a little disorganized and/or confused when he is teaching. Expect a few goofy moments from him, but the rest of the time is kind of dull.
