# Comments Date
1 Maybe it is because this is just a introduction course but I feel like a lot of my questions are not answered directly. A lot
of my questions I ask in class are asking for a deeper understanding, like why something applies or why not.
10/20/2016 1:52 PM
2 Oh yeah. No doubt. 10/20/2016 1:48 PM
3 I think that he knows very much about his topic. However, sometimes there is so much information that he wants to
share that it causes him to go on tangents about information that is not really relevant.
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
4 He knows everything about psychology 10/20/2016 1:47 PM
5 He is very compassionate towards psych and it is clear how much he truly enjoys teaching. 10/20/2016 1:46 PM
6 Proctor offers many interesting case studies as supplemental material that he has evidently researched before. 10/20/2016 9:12 AM

# Comments (please be specific if answered too fast or too slow) Date
1 At times, it seems we speed past topics that we aren't really sure of, but other than that we usually are able to make
sure we understand everything before we move on.
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
2 We have a nice pace. It's not too fast or too slow but it is really easy to not hold yourself accountable for things as we
rarely have check-ins which means that it is easy to get caught up in other things and let yourself fall behind.
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
3 I understand that we have a lot of material to cover, but I think we need to review the actual material more instead of
going father.
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
4 I feel like we move everyday from one module to the next, but we should stay and work a little longer on the modules
that are harder, like the more sciencey modules
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
5 I wish we analyzed the topics a little deeper 10/20/2016 1:47 PM
6 although some of the topics can go by very fast and some of the terms can get touched on a little. 10/20/2016 1:46 PM
7 He always lets people ask questions and he never goes too slowly while explaining something. 10/20/2016 1:46 PM
8 Although the course obviously moves fast because it is an AP, its probably the most reasonably paced AP that I am
taking, which is nice to not feel that rushed with all of the content we are learning.
10/20/2016 9:08 AM
9 Sometimes I feel like we skip over important topics because we are moving too fast. 10/20/2016 9:07 AM
10 The material is easy to comprehend for me but we have a test like every two weeks 10/20/2016 9:07 AM
11 Sometimes Proctor goes too fast through the slides on the Powerpoint and it's difficult to take notes if there is anything
that I want to write down. I feel too awkward to ask you to go back but going slower on the Powerpoint would be
useful.
10/20/2016 9:04 AM
12 i feel like we go through modules a little too quickly. we will read the module and then spend one day on it and then
move on. also i feel like we don't really do enough practice between learning the material and then the test.

1 Oh yeah, he's pulled me out a few times because of concerns. 10/20/2016 1:48 PM
2 When I do well on a test, Proctor goes up to me outside of class and congratulates me. This to me shows that he
values my success in his class and that he is focused on me as a individual rather than just another one of his
students, which I really appreciate.
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
3 He cares about my education 10/20/2016 1:47 PM
4 I have never met a teacher before that has been so dedicated to trying to help me succeed despite the difficulties I
have faced.
10/20/2016 9:09 AM
5 It is quite obviously that Proctor really wants everybody to succeed, for our own benefit and not just his. He gives us a
ton of materials in order to succeed, so he is definitely doing his part.

Q13 My teacher gives me clear and helpful
feedback on my work for this class.
Total 32
# Comments Date
1 Sometimes it is still unclear why points are taken off on the FRQs. Maybe it would be nice to spend a little time in
class going over exactly how to answer the FRQs so that we know how to get the maximum number of points. This
could include analyzing the prompts of questions and learning what is necessary or not necessary
10/20/2016 1:52 PM
2 I wish I was able to keep my tests or look them over more than I do because I can know I didn't use a term correctly,
but by the time I'm studying again I don't remember exactly what I did wrong when I applied it.
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
3 We don't so much get feedback as we give ourselves feedback. Besides being pulled out of class if you're falling
behind, there isn't too much you feedback.
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
4 I love when we go over the tests in this class. 10/20/2016 1:46 PM
5 The way that Proctor grades our tests is really helpful because he always writes not only the right answer but also
comments on what is right and wrong about what we said.
10/20/2016 9:08 AM
6 Not so much that he gives me feedback but he requires that we complete test reflections which is good for my future

1 So far, we have only had one grade besides tests. It would be nice to have more graded assignments, like the one
where we created our own experiment, so that if we are not particularly good at testing or we bombed a test, we have
ways to compensate for that.

1 It might be nice to have more smaller points outside of tests. I know this could be hard to do, but it would be nice for
us because then our whole grade does not depend on a few tests.

this is not necessarily bad in that it forces me to review material properly and makes me aware of underlying issues

Q17 My favorite things about this class are:
# Responses Date
1 Watching videos and case studies 10/21/2016 9:07 AM
2 My favorite thing about this class is the teacher. Proctor may be new to the school as of last year but is one of the best
teachers I have ever been fortunate enough to learn from. Not only is he enthusiastic about the material but he
employs a variety of techniques from videos, lecture, activities and class discussion to help teach the content to many
different learners. Class is never boring and I am always engaged in my learning. Despite the strenuous course load
of being an AP I truly enjoy the class and the content that is being taught. I feel respected and cared for as an
individual student and truly feel as if Proctor has a vested interest in my success in the class. Proctor is one of the
most understanding teachers in the school of the stress and heavy workload placed on students and his ability to be
flexible with test dates have prevented many meltdowns in an already stressful year. Proctor is one of the best
teachers MICDS has ever had and should be a model for future teachers employed by the school.

3 I like watching movies and hearing stories that apply to what we are learning. 10/20/2016 1:52 PM
4 It is a class like no other. All this information is completely new (except for some common knowledge stuff) and enjoy
being in a class where everyone is at an equal level, all learning this new information together. I enjoy how the course
includes a variety of sub topics so even if you hate the class one week, you may love it the next. It has definitely taught
me that this may be something I want to continue pursuing in college that I would have never acknowledged
otherwise.
10/20/2016 1:52 PM
5 I love the energy of the class, it makes it a very calm but enjoyable class to go to. I'm never like "Ugh, I have Psych
next"
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
6 HEEEEEEEEEELLlllllooOoooOOoOO! In addition to funny and insightful discussions and overall just learning more
about how to learn. (insert brain explosion)
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
7 I enjoy the simulations we do in class (ex. Dhidi). I also enjoy the positive attitude you bring to class everyday. 10/20/2016 1:48 PM
8 I enjoy learning about random psych information that is really interesting. Also, the case studies that we study are very
interesting to me.
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
9 I enjoy the material we are learning and activities we do in class to further understand our topics. 10/20/2016 1:48 PM
10 I like how the activities or movies that we watch relate to the topics, those are generally the ones that I end up
understanding the most because we went more in depth
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
11 The open environment and the relatability to every day life. 10/20/2016 1:48 PM
12 The excitement i get everyday walking in the door. 10/20/2016 1:47 PM
13 I like the real world applications (videos, illusions, etc.). I think these applications are both really helpful to learning the
material and keep the class interesting
10/20/2016 1:47 PM
14 I really enjoy Proctors enthusiasm. He has made me more interested in the subject matter than I expected to be. Due
to his attitude about psych, I feel comfortable coming to him with questions if need be.
10/20/2016 1:47 PM
15 doing activities that better explain what we are learning in the module 10/20/2016 1:46 PM

thinking about how your brain works while using your brain
10/20/2016 1:46 PM
17 -our class activities where we do fun things to try to understand the terms better. 10/20/2016 1:46 PM
18 Learning practical applications of psychology that we can implement in our lives. Also- I love the in class activities 10/20/2016 1:45 PM
19 Proctor's energy Psychology Learning about human behavior 10/20/2016 9:14 AM
20 The teacher! :D The material is also very interesting and I enjoy reading/hearing about case studies. 10/20/2016 9:12 AM
21 The activities such as the brain signal one are really appreciated because we can see the term or whatever we are
studying in action right in front of us.
10/20/2016 9:09 AM
22 This class is so interesting and much easier to follow than any other class. The videos and activities we do are ones
that actually stay with me and help me remember the content.
10/20/2016 9:08 AM
25 / 31

23 I love how positive Proctor is about the subject and the activities actually extend my learning and make clear what
couldve been foggy before. I dont really feel the need to ask too many clarifying questions.

29 i forgot to answer the questions so im doing another survey i hope that is ok. 10/20/2016 9:06 AM
30 I like when we do more hands on things to understand the material in the textbook. For example when we did the
question generating things on the whiteboard. I like those activities so that I better understand the topics that we are
learning.
10/20/2016 9:04 AM
31 The interactive activities that we do in class to demonstrate a certain topic we are learning about. 10/20/2016 9:04 AM
32 The activities that we do are very fun and help me learn the material. I look forward to this class much more than my
other classes because I know we'll always have something fun or mind-blowing to see firsthand.

questions about this course that your
teacher provides for you:
# Responses Date
1 1. about 2 hours when we meet 3 times a week and about 2 and a half when we meet 4 times 2. The formative
assessments are helpful cause they help me associate things with activities and remember things. Sometimes they
aren't so useful but overall they are
10/21/2016 9:07 AM
2 I spend roughly one hour reading each module and taking notes and so nights when there are two modules due, it is
usually about two hours. I tend to spend about 4 hours total reviewing for tests, doing practice problems and practice
FRQs. I also spend about 30 minutes each night going over the notes for the next days class. I think the teaching
methods are incredibly helpful but feel I could benefit from a little bit more lecture over the content. I really enjoy the
class activities and discussions and find them incredibly helpful for breaking up class as well as better understanding
the material but sometimes feel a little uncertain on the content and would like a little more lecture.
10/20/2016 5:01 PM
3 1. I spend about 30-45 minutes just reading the modules without taking notes. I spend more time studying, probably
30-60 minutes a night for about a week. 2. I love the question generating and the snowball. supplemental readings are
interesting. Personally, I think I would like to see a little more structure in class. it is hard when only some things are
explained in the reading and others are completely left out. But at the same time, I love the relaxed environment and
how we get to share personal stories or do fun activities that keep me engaged. I think for the more science units, like
the brain or the eye sight, it would be helpful to watch videos explaining it because it is easier to understand that way
than through reading. Having the practice multiple choice is very helpful as well.
10/20/2016 1:52 PM
4 1. I spend about an hour and a half on homework a night. On nights before tests I definitely spend more time. I would
suggest not giving two modules at the same time. I understand there is a lot to cover in a short amount of time but
maybe using class time to read a module together (read out loud) or start individual homework would be helpful. 2. I
have enjoyed all of the new activities you try...although the snowball activity can feel awkward if you aren't sure your
answer is correct and then someone asked a question or comment about yours. The classes when we do a little
activity are very important because it is hard to focus for an hour and a half without doing something other than
listening to a lecture.
10/20/2016 1:52 PM
5 I spend probably 45 minutes a night in note taking, reading, and studying all combined, sometimes more than that but
not usually. These techniques work well, usually I end up better understanding a topic but for me I get really anxious
when any of my answers are being put up in front of the class and then I have to explain them. I prefer the question
activity because I can ask my question and figure it out but I don't like having to have my answers read out loud,
especially if they aren't 100% correct.
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
6 I do not spend nearly as much time as I should. I often procrastinate readings because I let other things take
president. Not to say that I don't enjoy the class or that I put it off because I don't want to do it. The readings are just
lengthy and I often see more benefit in doing the homework that is due the next day or next period over something I
won't be tested on for weeks.
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
7 1. I spend anywhere from an hour to three hours each night on the reading, questions, notes, note cards, and testing
myself. It takes me a long time to complete all of these steps. 2. I really liked the snowball thing because it got me up
and moving in the middle of class. My other teacher actually had us all stand up in the middle of class the other day
and get into a circle and walk around the room. It was a silly thing, but it got the blood to flow back into my legs and
just helped my energy in general. I also like the "question-generating" activity because it is a different way of testing
myself over the material.
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
8 1. I probably spend one to two hours on the coursework outside of class. 2. I really enjoyed the snowball activity
because I feel that it increases my understanding of the topic. Also, I feel that an occasional reading quiz that is
formative would be helpful so that we are able to understand what we are confused about from the reading.
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
9 On the homefun I usually spend approximately 15-30 minutes depending on how long the section. However, for
studying I usually spend approximately 2-3 hours total. I liked the snowball activity, I thought it provided an opportunity
to get class feedback on our writing and responses. In addition, when we would read other people's responses it
allowed us to think of the issue in a different way and gain further knowledge. Throughout the unit providing some
graded homework or class grades would be helpful in assessing us and our understanding outside of testing because
testing only allows so much of our knowledge to be seen.
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
27 / 31

10 I spend a fair amount of time on psych, the textbook reading can be kind of a lot even though it is only a couple of
pages, there is a lot of information and taking notes and highlighting requires more effort As far as improvement, I
would say that we focus class time a lot on the big ideas but then on the tests there are some very detailed questions
that are then hard to answer. I do like how the class feels like a reverse classroom set up where we teach ourselves
by doing the reading and then come to class to watch a movie or do an activity because I feel like that helps me
personally have a deeper knowledge and be able to remember whatever it is we are learning better. I think a lot of
times the tests are too hard, I know everyone thinks tests are always too hard but I think that especially since they are
worth so many points and making corrections is not an option, they seem to test the large amount of topics on a super
detailed level.
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
11 1. For psychology, I usually spend about 30 minutes. Sometimes more (like the night before a test), and sometimes
less, but 30 is pretty average for reading and looking over the powerpoint. 2. I really enjoyed these activities. Not only
did they help me with understanding the content, they also added variety to the course and were fun to complete. I
believe that we should continue to do activities like this in the future because they are fun and helpful.
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
12 I spend 20-35 minutes a night doing homefun or studying for this class so it is very manageable. I enjoy the formative
activities because they are a great break from lecture based classes. however, sometimes I struggle to connect the
activities to the questions asked on the test. The formative information is helpful, but I feel it does not connect to the
content given on tests. Creating engaging activities that tie into graded activities better would be something that I
would greatly appreciate.
10/20/2016 1:47 PM
13 1. Homefun doesn't take long, maybe half an hour. Studying for the test probably takes 1-2 hours but with that study
time I am usually well prepared. 2. I do generally like the techniques implemented to teach the class as I think, like i
said earlier, that they are helpful and fun. The only slight criticism is that there are some that might force people to
share their responses who maybe didn't want to, but that might not necessarily be a bad thing. I think the techniques
are overall helpful because they help us understand the real world application of the concepts we are learning which is
important and should be implemented in more classes.
10/20/2016 1:47 PM
14 I probably spend around an hour max. This is depending upon if there is a test coming up and if I am not fully
comprehending the material. I believe that these techniques are very effective. Activities keep the class interesting and
don't allow for people to become bored while note taking. I believe they also help us learn because we are attacking
the information in a new fun way. I know personally that these activities have helped me to better comprehend the
information especially when we did the sharing of PA's.
10/20/2016 1:47 PM
15 How much time do you spend, on average, per day, on “stuff” for this class outside of our actual class time? This
“stuff” could include homefun, studying, etc. Please answer in the online survey in the space provided for additional
questions from your teacher. I spend about a hour and a half on this subject alone per night. this is a combination of
reading the module, annotating, understanding the terms, quizzing myself with the questions at the end of the module
and going back to previous modules and reviewing. I would appreciate your feedback on the effectiveness of these
techniques. Did you like them? Why or why not? Did they help you learn/practice the content in an effective way?
Why or why not? Do you have any other thoughts for me on how to better formatively assess you throughout each
unit? Please answer in the online survey in the space provided for additional questions from your teacher (the same
space in which you answered question #1!) I like all of the activities so far especially the ones that have students
demonstrate what we are learning, for example the two people being the right and left hemisphere of the brain. Since i
am a very visual learner and learn best from examples, im glad that there is a balance of "normal" teaching and
demonstrations to expand our knowledge of the topic.
10/20/2016 1:46 PM
16 1. Homefun is like an hour Studying is like 5-6 hours 2. I did like the snowball activity, it changes the pace of the class
and generates questions that I want to ask but i do not know how to.
10/20/2016 1:46 PM
17 1. I spend around 30 min a night doing my homefun! 2. I really like the snowball technique because it was fun and it
allows you to read people's ideas that you are not necessarily friends with. When we do class activities such as the
(how fast a neuron impulse travels) it was super cool how we did that and it was a fun way to learn the term. I really
enjoy how we do not have quizzes in the class because it alleviates the stress from reading each module with 100%
focus every single day, but I think we should have more labs, presentations, or graded homework which would help
our chances in case we didn't do as well on a test as we expected.
10/20/2016 1:46 PM
18 1. I spend an average of 30-45 minutes every night doing homefun and practicing for this class. 2. I really love that we
do activities to further our knowledge about the reading in class. It is helpful in forming PAs during our second
readings of the text (before the test) and I love that we apply what we learned to everyday life. I feel that the formative
assignments and activities in class motivate us to come to class more prepared every day and are a more efficient use
of our time than simply re-reading the textbook information. I've never been in a class like this and I wish that all my
classes were structured like this.
10/20/2016 1:45 PM
19 1. I usually spend 30 minutes to an hour each night to read and annotate the readings so I can understand the
concept. For studying, I probably spend a minimum of 6 hours studying it (spread out of course) 2. I really like the
techniques you've been using because they aren't just fun, but they really do help me understand the material much
better. I haven't really experienced anything yet that isn't effective. Keep doing what you're doing! :)
10/20/2016 9:14 AM
28 / 31

20 1. I spend about 20-30 minutes reading homefun whenever it is assigned. 2. I thought that the question-generating
activity was effective in that it allowed us to create examples and evaluate those of our classmates to apply concepts
in new ways.
10/20/2016 9:12 AM
21 About 90min. I enjoyed the snowball activity because we got to see a wide range of responses to the same question. I
feel like the other activity we did on the board could've gone smoother if everyone in the class knew the terms pretty
well before hand.
10/20/2016 9:09 AM
22 On average I spend about 1.5 hours on psych a night, but this amounts increases significantly when it comes to
studying for tests. The activities we do in this class are the most helpful thing in the entire class. Not only are they
always fun and interesting, but they are a way to apply the information to our lives, which makes it so much easier to
remember. On every test, I have remembered and applied an activity we did in the class to a concept, which is nice.
It's also much more fun doing activities rather than being lectured at all day everyday.
10/20/2016 9:08 AM
23 How much time do you spend, on average, per day, on “stuff” for this class outside of our actual class time? This
“stuff” could include homefun, studying, etc. - probably an hour at the most (and thats by choice). i feel that the work
load is just enough and not too much I would appreciate your feedback on the effectiveness of these techniques. Did
you like them? Why or why not? Did they help you learn/practice the content in an effective way? Why or why not?
Do you have any other thoughts for me on how to better formatively assess you throughout each unit? - I love the
techniques, as I mentioned before. The heritability activity was really good for me. it helped clarify what heritability is.
the question generating activity was really nice too because i got to see PA's for units where i had none and others
that are relatable :)
10/20/2016 9:08 AM
24 1. How much time do you spend, on average, per day, on “stuff” for this class outside of our actual class time? This
questions from your teacher. The modules usually take me thirty to forty minuets to real and annotate. I study three
nights prior to tests for 30mins to 1hr each night. 2.I would appreciate your feedback on the effectiveness of these
techniques. Did you like them? Why or why not? Did they help you learn/practice the content in an effective way?
Why or why not? Do you have any other thoughts for me on how to better formatively assess you throughout each
unit? Please answer in the online survey in the space provided for additional questions from your teacher (the same
space in which you answered question #1!) I like the techniques used in class, however, I would like to see more in-
class demonstrations of the topics/materials that we are learning. etc. krydney and the penny activity.
10/20/2016 9:07 AM
25 1. On average I spend about forty five minutes a night preparing for this class. This includes reading and studying. 2. I
really really like the question-generating activity because it forces me to use the terms within 24 hours of learning
them. The snowball activity is fun too. Proctor is very good at mixing up class and not making it boring.
10/20/2016 9:07 AM
26 Before tests, I usually spend up to 3 to 4 hours studying, going over my notes, doing practice problems, and reviewing
topics I don't know. For homework, I usually spend about an hour or an hour and a half for reading the modules.
Personally, I feel that I am not learning anything new in class that I didn't already get from reading the module. We are
given the powerpoints to utilize when reading the modules at home, and we just go over basically the textbook, and I
feel like I don't learn anything new. I like the little activities we do in class, but I still don't think they work for me. They
are fun, but I don't get anything out of them academically.
10/20/2016 9:06 AM
27 [sorry, I forgot to do the supplemental questions for a different survey submission, so here you go] 1. I spend about 30
minutes on this class a night 2. I really enjoy the formative activities. They help me learn because they're fun.
10/20/2016 9:06 AM
questions from your teacher. For homefun, 30 minutes. For studying, 8 hours (not by choice) before a test. 2. I would
appreciate your feedback on the effectiveness of these techniques. Did you like them? Why or why not? Did they help
you learn/practice the content in an effective way? Why or why not? Do you have any other thoughts for me on how to
better formatively assess you throughout each unit? Please answer in the online survey in the space provided for
additional questions from your teacher (the same space in which you answered question #1!) I do like them because it
incorporates multiple learning styles and engages the students so they do not drift off during class. Yes they help me
learn because I am more effective at learning by auditory and kinetic because those are the ways that I practice more
for studying in the past. I do think we should have quizzes after each module like APES does because I does help us
understand what we were supposed to be getting from the reading, and it would also be helpful to have some more
things in the grade book to balance out the one bad test grade.
10/20/2016 9:06 AM
29 1.- i would say i spend about an hour or two a day if you add up all the times during the day that i work on psych . 2.- i
really do like the activities a lot. i feel like we should definitely do more activities and maybe even more lecturing
because even though we do the readings i feel like we don't really go over the material enough. I think more formative
activities and worksheets in class would help to make sure that we grasp the idea before we are tested on it.
10/20/2016 9:06 AM
30 I probably use around an hour studying and preparing for Psych class. I think I use more than usual studying because
for some reason this class has presented me with quite a bit of difficulty. I think both of these activities are useful in
preparing us for the topics we are learning about. The only thing I don't like is that we have to stand up for them lol
10/20/2016 9:04 AM
29 / 31

“stuff” could include homefun, studying, etc. I spend between 20-45 minutes on the homefun, depending on how much
reading it is. For studying, I spend around two hours studying, maybe more if I didn't keep up with the reading and
have to do it before the test. 2. I would appreciate your feedback on the effectiveness of these techniques. Did you
like them? Why or why not? Did they help you learn/practice the content in an effective way? Why or why not? Do
you have any other thoughts for me on how to better formatively assess you throughout each unit? I think the snowball
activity is effective, and helps us discuss the homework in class interactively. It helps me practice the content since it
forces us to interact and participate.

Q19 Is there anything else that you'd like to
share?
# Responses Date
1 My entire page got reset cause I didn't finish in class and switched wifi networks, so nothing saved. I dont remember
everything I said, but one of my big comments is that its hard to keep up with everything cause I have a lot of other
classes to deal with as well, and can't always spend a ton of time on this class. Because of that, its more helpful to
have test corrections, instead of formative assessments because the formative assessments just kind of tell me what I
already know, that I'm behind. Test corrections would be way more helpful in boosting my grade, especially since in
this class there arent daily quizzes like APES had, so the tests count for way more.
10/21/2016 9:07 AM
2 I understand the concept behind having majority of points be tests and not be able to do corrections since that's how
college is but I think the class should be one or the other a. all points come from unit tests but you can correct FRQ's
to make sure you understand the question fully to prepare for the final exam b. some of the class points come from
tests but we also have graded hw assignments and activities and multiple choice quizzes so that you have more of an
opportunity to change your grade
10/20/2016 1:52 PM
3 I am a very hands on learner so all of the games and things we do really help me to remember the things we've
studied. I think it would be fun and helpful if we added a few more if we put them in the powerpoint as things to do at
home to help study as we go along.
10/20/2016 1:48 PM
4 I truly enjoy coming to class. Proctor makes the environment relaxed, fun, and interesting, and I learn a lot every day. 10/20/2016 1:48 PM
5 Overall, I really don't have anything bad to say about Proc. He is both effective in keeping the class interesting and in
teaching the information well.
10/20/2016 1:47 PM
6 I would like there to be more graded assignments, I feel like all we do in this class is the tests. Maybe some graded
worksheets, labs, questions to the homework from the night before, or corrrections on tests, maybe a quiz or two
10/20/2016 1:46 PM
7 Proctor is by far my favorite teacher because he really cares about his students and it is clear that he is dedicated to
our success
10/20/2016 1:46 PM
8 Proctor- thanks for making class so exciting and interesting!!! 10/20/2016 1:45 PM
