To quote one student from Intro to Formal Logic (Recorded), he said that Mr. Campbell was “WONDERFUL. Absolutely enjoyed it!”
“Mr. Campbell took the dullness out of learning, and he made each class fun and exciting. I think that with his teaching method he could make any subject I hated into a productive and enjoyable learning experience. I would take as many of his classes as I could.”
