A fine lecturer, but he doesn't seem to realize that everyone taking his class is doing it for a gen ed. He assigns enough reading to take up as much time as one of my engineering classes. I got through the class just fine without touching most of the readings, and that's the way it should stay. I will say, however, that you have to talk the talk in this class. If you disagree with any viewpoints, you'll have to defend them perfectly in papers, discussion posts, etc. If you want to get by the class easily, say what they want you to say. Or honestly, avoid this class entirely. The professor is fine, but the class itself needs a serious revamp. Consider another gen ed. Not suitable for a 100 level course, given that most of us have actual major requirements to dedicate time to. |

This professor assigned so much work, it became impossible to meet his expectations. I think I speak for majority of the class when I say that we all stopped doing the readings. Even without doing the readings, I still managed to do very well in the class, only really emphasizing how much busy work the readings were. I emailed him about this concern and he said, "The basic rule of thumb is for every credit hour in class, you should commit three hours of outside class time. So for a 12 credit semester, you should expect to spend 36 hours a week outside class studying. So for this course I would commit 4.5 hours per each day's readings. " This is an unrealistic expectation and I am shocked at the level of work for a 101 course. |
