Dr. Derryberry is an amazing professor. He makes things so much fun. He always has a joke or funny story to relate to what we're learning. It's funny to hear him try to reference pop culture sometimes because he brings up things none of us are old enough to remember :) The tests are pretty easy, I'd say. He gives you a lot of options on them. Like we could usually take home the essays and turn them in during the next class. There's an open book quiz before every unit and you get three chances to take it so making an A on that is easy. You have to do 9 hours of community service of any kind. I would recommend that you don't procrastinate because there is a lot of work in this class. You have to write a two page reflection paper for each unit and a one page summary of the service you do for your service learning project, but you usually discuss most of the papers and exactly what he wants the day before they're due so it's not too hard. I only got a B because I forgot about a lot of due dates. If I had been focused, the class would have been an easy A. I've heard that his non-honors courses are totally different from the honors section. Not only are the tests, quizzes, and assignments different, but class is really bland and involve a lot less student-teacher interaction. I would take the honors section if at all possible. It's a lot of work, but if you don't wait until last minute, it's really manageable. Dr. Derryberry is really understanding if you have issues. He's also willing to meet with you to discuss what went on in class if you have to miss. The syllabus says you're allowed three absences, but he didn't seem to follow that with our class. All-in-all, having him as a professor was a really good experience. I'd say he was probably my favorite professor this semester.
