Great guy, really smart and enthusiastic about his work. The class isn't really that difficult but you just have to read the book and take detailed notes or else you are straight up screwed for the tests. You have to be so detailed on the test, and that's what makes them difficult. Still he's a cool dude, even brings his dog to class and just lets it roam around the auditorium!

Nice guy, he brings his dog to class which is amusing. He really loves this stuff, so his enthusiasm can help at times when it's especially boring. Pretty good sense of humor. All tests come straight from the objectives, which come straight from lecture. Go to class, don't worry about the book. Overall it was a pretty good class.

Just answer the questions on the objectives that he sends out for each class and you'll be fine. There are also two 5-page essays, but they aren't too bad.

Pros: Professor Billman will work with you on your grade if you are close to a letter change...he brings his dog to class!...He has a sense of humor
Cons: Grades are given by TA's who I understand to be the same people for him usually...depending on which TA you get, your grades will be either graded more harshly or easier...
If your just looking for a class to fulfill general ed. requirements, look somewhere else.
