Taking this course with this professor is one of my biggest regrets in life. The classes are 2.5 hours of him either doing rambling on about nothing for no reason such as the evolution of milk. Or he will spend the entire class grading our assignments in front of the entire class. We have spent multiple classes having him go to each one of us and ask us to show him our assignments and he grades them in front of everyone. So during this time everyone in the class not being graded must sit there and listen to him ramble about each of our assignments. He won't even allow us to use our computers to make something productive happen during class. We have spent maybe 20% of our classes going over anything slightly related to policy. Most of our time is spent watching him grade because his grading things at home would be asking too much. This is not even the worst part of his class, the worst part is his criteria on assignments and citations. I am in grade school I know what is a scholarly source and what isn't but he adds 18 more specifics on what can and can't be used. He has a vendetta against all online publications and refuses to accept the fact that if something isn't printed it can still be accurate. This is all made worse by his constant reminders that he is a great writer and that he is teaching us the only proper way to write. All the master's students must sit there and listen to him talk about our poor writing skills.
