Comment:

I showed up to 2 classes and one of those was a midterm and I scored a high mark. He is super boring and you can easily pass just doing the quizzes and homework. Nothing was even due until the very last day of classes. The midterm and exam are literally just questions from the quizzes he doesn't even teach well in class, just reads from a textbook.

Comment:

Just god awful. He reads directly from the textbook. So monotone and filled with overly long pauses and "ums" that would make a public speaking class cry. He accuses you of plagiarizing assignments with no proof. He obviously hates students and really needs to retire.

Comment:

All I need to say is wow! I thought he was joking the first few classes but NO. He is terrible reads out of the textbook to the class and deems it a 'lecture'. Don't dare answer a question either unless you want him lecturing to only you for the rest of the class. Doesn't post grades online and yelled at the class for asking him to.

This class is so easy and he makes it really interesting. I never knew politics could be so much fun. He doesn't overload you and the test are realy easy.

Ridiculous - verbally attacks students, has poor exam drafting skills, doesn't keep his word, seems distracted, makes an interesting topic brutally boring. Avoid at all costs.

Comment:

I don't know if this guy has been pulled out of his element to teach this course for the CSTs, but his teaching method of reading from the book, and taking all suggestions personally makes me glad that the course is being taken from the CST course list.

Comment:

I've had this guy for politics and public affairs. He's friendly and can take a joke, but if you don't do the work he won't pass you. He is VERY smart, but nobody gives him a chance cause the classes he teaches are boring.

John is definitely the worst prof I have ever had. He is so boring, all he does is read from the book and he doesn't even try to make the class interesting. Stay away from this prof at all costs!

Comment:

Unclear on his objectives for the student/class. As for disrespectful, that was not the case in 2001, but maybe he's got external issues. I had to nag to get my assignments/marks back. First test took well after midterms to get back.

Comment:

Fakouri is totally incoherent and can't even make a understandible point. He verbally attacks his students ranting about being "A Human fileing cabinet", and can't even promptly mark assignments. Also he makes up marks forgets to send in marks.

Comment:

John Fakouri's does not know how to convey information in a meaningful fashion. John is rude and disrespectful of his students, and personally lowers the academic quality of the College. If you can get out of his class, do so!

John Fakouri is offensive to the students, not helpful at all, and tends to run on for 45 minutes about teapots, for some obscure reason.
