He uses Blackboard when I had him and there were quizzes so Idk what he gives to other classes, but thats all I can tell you about his teaching style. Appraochable, friendly, caring, cool, but serious work.
Kevin James, I heard from a friend, emphasizes on textbook answers on tests and stuff. I guess his teaching style is about the same as Gordon McFarlane except maybe tougher and less emphasized on real life example and concept examples so that you understand. Focused more on grinding the textbook..? LOL thats what I percieve him as

I've had Kevin James for Retail Marketing and he's a really nice, upbeat guy. He's pretty tough for his upper level courses (3rd, 4th year) since he expects you to know what you're talking about. Towards the end he really tries to balance it out and makes the final quite easy for students as they have a choice in what they want to write about based on a case study. For the group project everyone got 80-95%.
He talks about the key points in class and doesn't cover everything in the textbook. The tests are quite easy, as long as you are able to provide details and link it back to things learnt in class. He says, even if you don't know what the question is asking for specifically, just write/draw what you think about it and go into details. His lectures are fun, but you definitely still need to do the work. I've heard his 1115 is super easy though. He's down to earth and really approachable and tries to get to know everyone personally.
