Additional Comments |
Dr. Bussey is a very intelligent and entertaining professor as he recalls funny stories and facts while he teaches. He's always in a good mood for class and he doesn't just fly through his lectures as he slows down and knows when things are becoming too boring for the class. He also likes to spur on discussion about political issues and while he's pretty liberal he tolerates other viewpoints well.
The tests were a little difficult as you had to fill out 5 out of 8 ID's and then fill out two essay questions but those weren't too bad because Dr. Bussey gives them to you several weeks before the test so you can prepare them out beforehand if you so choose to do so. Also, in the class we had to write two book reviews (one of a fictional novel and one of this liberal book Bussey helped write). Furthermore, you have to attend 3 university functions and write a paragraph about each but you can honestly do that the first several weeks of the semester to get it off your mind.
Overall, this class is interesting and my only complaint would be that sometimes Bussey presents a lot of information from "his" point-of-view but tries to diversify it as much as possible. I'd recommend him, though, for this particular course.
