He’s no joke.. not recommended for an easy A
March 19th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
he doesn’t seem to really care that people can’t stand him… that’s kindof great i have to say.
March 19th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
does he really encourage amphetamines? what kind?

OMG! this guy is a riot! he’s hilarious!
March 20th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
i ******* love it
March 23rd, 2008 at 3:19 pm
He looks high in that last video.
March 23rd, 2008 at 5:25 pm
lmao. he’s hillarious! you can tell he’s tough, but a good person. too bad he doesn’t teach at my school…

This guy would probably make a great investigative reporter.

the first video response was the best!
April 5th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
LOL! that was hilarious! Haha… seems like a great teacher, definitely not a pushover easy-A though!

He is my professor. Toughest professor I have ever had. He really does want you to do well, just make sure you “have the facts” when you talk to him. He just wants us to be the best journalists we can be. These videos are my favorite things Karl has ever done. I give them an A+.
And Frank F, he was an investigative reporter actually haha.

If you don’t like the way he treats you, just wait until you enter the profession of Journalism.
He’s nice compared to the people you’ll work for.
July 6th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
hahaha he is so blunt. i love it.
he’s right in the second one though.

Wow, one of his former student won an Emmy! Very impressive. His teaching method must be really tuff but great reward in the end for students who work really hard. I would give him a 10 for the hot chillis. Love his voice too!
July 29th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
wow he might as well have said “fuk it, deal with it” lol

This guy seems like he would be a fun person to talk to, but he would be a traumatizing professor. Just listening to him speak about school is so honest it’s scary. I prefer a professor who’s a little more soft in speech. But that’s my taste.

This guy sounds awesome!
January 15th, 2009 at 12:25 am
I like him.

Which is to say he's an intelligent person who likely would appreciate an intelligent student who actually puts in good effort and show good results.
So, if you're not a weakass sissy shopping for grades and actually ARE interested in journalism, then he'd be one you'd recommend.
He does seem like a tough/rough nail, which is good, in that profession (journalism, if not teaching, too) you need a strong stomach sharp mind and steady feet, otherwise you'd wash out fast.
I like him. Seems like someone you could learn a lot from, if you give him and his course the proper respect.

Niiiiice.
October 29th, 2009 at 8:59 am
I laughed through the whole video!Very amusing!
December 15th, 2009 at 4:55 am
Seems like a nice enough guy…. in a sort of drill Sargent (but he means the best for you) kind of way. VERY Funny.
