Comment:

I can't recall the course number, but it was an Ed studies course about social justice. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I found his comments on my essays really meaningful. He wasn't my practi****supervisor but it's hard to relate to those comments.

Comment:

I had him a few years ago as a practi****teacher and I too found him unpredictable, unclear, and more detrimental to learning than helpful. He once sat in the back of a class I was teaching and criticized me to another teacher for about half an hour. Made my practi****a living nightmare! My current success is without any help from him.

Comment:

Larry appears nice in conversation but he uses his writing skills as a weapon to channel his frustrations at you. I know he's responsible for ending the teaching careers of a few friends of mine.

Comment:

Professor Wolfson is currently instructing a Foundation class in the Communication Design fepartment of Fashion Institute of Technology. He is the worst teacher I have ever had to deal with. He is offensive, short tempered, and overall unbearable no matter how hard I tried to work with him. I feel bad for all who have to take his class ever again.

Comment:

Short tempered, comes across as friendly and understanding in conversation but then goes 180 on written evaluations. As someone else said, he does have favourites and is not very forgiving if you make an error. I just don't think he is a very responsive or open-minded teacher, which is what is required in Education. Though I passed, no endorsement.

Comment:

Seems disinterested in actually helping his students. Unclear expectations and tempermental in his evaluations. He does choose favourites and is very short with people he does not like.

Great guy, very caring and hard working. Did a good job of a course that not everybody is thrilled about. He encouraged a lot of participation which is good.

GREAT GUY! The most easy-going, friendly, engaged, and caring prof. I've had. He is an excellent teacher, and one of the most polite instructors I've known who is sensitive to his students. He tries hard to help all his students. He's everyone's favorite prof!!
