Comment:

Fabulous individual who loves to talk... a lot. Will answer questions with a long explanation but loves answering questions. The very little assignments are really easy. If you're having an off day- record the lecture, especially when you do the class notes.

Comment:

The class structure was very simple and I found Dr. Teschner very personable. He is progressive and forward-thinking. The lectures were not a snore but they were not always super interesting. Pay attention in class and post your blackboard stuff on time and you'll be fine. I got an A.

Comment:

This was basically an art history class. Dr. Teschner is pretty easy going. As an art class, well nothing is ever concrete, it's all abstract so make up some BS that sounds good and you're fine. There is a lot of writing for this class, but that's all there is.

Comment:

His classes are mainly Bb centered. Classes are essentially discussions of Bb postings. He requires 2 random people to take notes each class, which is where the next class's discussion comes from. No quizzes or test, just 4 Bb postings every 2-3 weeks on discussion questions he post. The final= one short essay question. Bring you CPU to class!

Comment:

Going to class was a drag. It was a very easy course but it could be done entirely online. It consists completely of group projects and the man will argue every and any point with you. I mean "argue" because hell be the only one talking. Loves to her himself talk. Easy class if you have responsible group members. Bring comp to class and play games.

Comment:

Took the online class over the summer. Not too difficult at all, once you get used to the requirements. Just make sure the formats of all your posts are correct, and post on time. Most of the time you can get away without actually reading all of the required sections. Doesn't grade too hard on the content of your posts, either.

Very monotone, but the material is interesting. All class notes are posted online and quizzes are taken on a website as well. You don't really need to come to class, but he gives extra credit for posting class notes. Overall a worthwhile class.

Comment:

very boring yet very easy. never did more than two hours of work a week and pulled a b+. try not to read the entire articles in the textbook, they are extremely boring. and bother taking the time to read other students articles, just open one or two up when the summary is due and find a quote. oh and you learn nothing in this class.

Comment:

It was 15 yrs ago ('92) when I had his class-It was taught online using BBS (before the Web came along). That class made me think more than any I remember at CNU. He is very passionate about philosophy and was on the cutting edge of tech at the time -- it was an experience that sticks in my mind.

Deconstructalist...fails to clearly explain ideas, fails to clearly explain student's ideas, confuses everything, causes students to walk around in circles all semester until randomly achieving his perspective

Took his class online, brilliant idea...He was really understanding of missed deadlines, and he worked out at the gym where I worked, so that helped...He's a really good guy and very clear if you stop to listen.

Comment:

He tells you one thing, and you do it. Then he asks you why you didnt do what he wanted you to do in the first place, so you end up writting two papers for his class when you could be spending time else where!!! really inefficient man! He is a good guy
