Bowyer won't repeat himself after he says something, regardless of importance. There's a ton of homework, sometimes I drown in it. Memorize the parts of the book that are assigned, he will give you tests reviewing the chapters with specifics and you only have 5 minutes to complete it. We read roughly 8 books in a year, not including the two independent readings that we need to do while in class. If someone is late to class he will almost always verbally chastise them in front of the class. He will call you out for anything that he deems counterproductive to class, even if it doesn't affect any other people in class.
