Comment:

ED6822 with Dr. Mann was one of the most stressful and overwhelming experiences of my academic career. Students are given no indication of guidelines or expectations, and questions to Dr. Mann received unintelligible answers. Most students dropped the course. The course content is good but it's not worth dealing with him. Absolutely horrible.

Comment:

This was the most frustrating course of my master's program. Dr. Mann provided extremely little details about assignments, was terrible at answering questions. Though, do not spend too much time worrying about assignments, I had no idea what the expectations were and did fine in terms of marks. Just write something and don't overthink it.

Comment:

I have never had an issue with an instructor before. The instructional design course has such poor instructional design to it that the irony scale broke. Terrible instruction. Remarkably unclear. No guidelines. Condescending. No feedback. Asks the world, but doesn't tell you which one. Turns out he wanted Mars not earth. Run forest run!!!

Comment:

When I read the comments here, I thought, "Ahh, these are a bunch of complainers who don't know how to do grad level work." I was wrong. The comments here are spot on. I have never seen poorer instruction and even worse communication. By the end, the only thing that surprised me was was the MUN allows this nonsense to continue. Avoid at all costs.

Comment:

I can't give 0s. I have no problem with working hard for a class. He gives A LOT of work. I have a problem with submitting a 4000 word paper after having NO GUIDELINES, only to find out that we didn't have to write it, and it's not being marked. 90% of readings are his articles, and not at all useful. NO guidelines, no clarity, no response to email

Prof. Mann is one of the Best professors any student could have. He sincerely wants to impart his knowledge to the student. On the outside,he puts on a shell..he is actually very sympathetic about peoples problems.He always wants to help the best he can. He expects alot from his students, but hey..we are attending University! Thank you Prof.Mann

This is the worst professor I have ever had in my undergrad, teacher's college and my masters program. Instructions made no sense for assignments, amount of work was insane and he was very condescending.

He'll give you a number for your marks but no other feedback so you won't know where you went wrong! Generally does not reply emails and any response is very brief.

Comment:

Another comment a few years back says it well,"Run". Comes across as arrogant with no interest and will not respond to emails. Lots of work, which is not a problem, but no grade reqard benefit to doing it. MANY dropped course. More into publishing and less into instructing. I do NOT recommend this professor.

Comment:

A difficult professor to work with. If your area of interest is not within his scope of knowledge you will have a very difficult time. He sees the world only through his glasses and seems to have difficulty seeing anything else. If your thinking doesn't fit within his, your doomed. Cause he will see you as inferior and the belittling will start...

Comment:

Not organized. Isn't up to date with what he's teaching. Doesn't really know what he is teaching one day to the next. He grades based on how he feels that moment. No text, no notes, no idea what you will be tested on. No feedback, huge attitude. He told me education students, from his research, get a free ride and we do no work. Avoid his class...
