Was genuinely surprised when I heard how many people hate this professor. His class is easy even if you don't test well. The quizzes are honestly the worst part of the class and they were all pretty hard. But to be fair, there was only four of them and they were all open note. Plus, the other assignments are simpler and count for more points so even though I failed most of the quizzes I still finished with an A (ps: he gives you some points back if you come in to understand what you got wrong). He also is really understanding, you just have to take the time to talk to him. He was still willing to accommodate to me when he never had to. Since you have to take him, the best advice I could give is just to talk to him whenever you can and show up to class enough that he knows who you are. |

He was nice in the beginning but he turned out to be super passive-aggressive to people during class. I know he looks at these reviews because he started off the first class by saying "I know you heard a lot of bad things about me...." so and so forth. He takes FOREVER to grade assignments and you won't know your final grade until the very end. He does not round an 89.99% to an A which is emphasized in his syllabus. He also sets the class up in a certain way in which you have to watch a VERY long video every week to take an in-class quiz that is about 10-15 questions (on top of also going to lecture twice a week). His slides have little to no words on them so you have to watch the long videos to do well on the quizzes. Throughout the semester attendance in his class substantially decreased due to the fact that he is not a good lecturer and focuses on the wrong concepts when teaching. He is the only professor teaching this course so you have no choice but to take him. Good luck!! |

I got an A in this class but it was one of my least favorite classes I have ever taken. The class is soooo disorganized. No one ever knows what's going on... including the UTAs. During group projects, he doesn't like getting involved even when a group member is not doing their part. He gets annoyed when students ask questions and the in-person lectures are not helpful at all. There were multiple typos on the quizzes on ELMS and it was never addressed until a student brought it up as they were taking it. |

I took this course because it is required for my major and there is no other professor this semester. If there is another professor available or you do not need this course, do not take the course with this professor. This professor is not only unorganized and aggressive, but he has a false sense of self. He is never prepared and lecture is just a rant about exercising. He has other jobs and being a professor is his last priority. The quizzes are difficult because they do not relate to the long online lectures. If you try to leave class for any reason, he will chase after you. Big waste of time, pick another class. |

This is hands-down, one of the two worst professors I've had in my four years here. He cat-fished us at the beginning of the semester acting like he cares about us and is on top of everything, but in reality, he treats this class like a glorified PE side hustle. Extremely unclear recorded lectures and off-topic in-class sessions. Straight chaos. |

this class was so unorganized and his expectations were extremely unclear. he takes forever to grade things and my group had essentially no feedback/guidance for the final project that was weighted pretty heavily. while he does respond quickly to emails, he pretty much does not do his job. still missing grades for 3 heavily weighted assignments even though grades were already due. this guy is so mid |

If this class is not required for your major, do not take it. The entire course was extremely unorganized and grading took forever, and was harsh for no reason. For a class required for seniors, you would think it would be taught just a little bit better. |

Very unorganized class and poor communication with UTAs and professors. Online exams that are taken in person are confusing and lectures that are posted online are very disorganized. |
