Comment:

He doesn't teach anything yet expects you to know everything. His class is a waste of time and money unless you want to pay a couple thousand dollars to watch movies that you can rent for less than $10 on Amazon. He also won't tell you what he grades on and will only tell you to add more details despite answering the questions he assigned.

Comment:

Unless you're a girl, you're probably going to get a B in this class. He loves hyphens for some weird reason. His grading is pretty contradicting and is a pretty useless professor when it comes down to actually getting something out of the class. Enjoy your B's boys!

Comment:

Tech report writing is a boring class, but just go to his office and have him look over your papers and listen to what he suggests. Act interested! Lots of days off from class to conference, and get out early too.

For everyone that says it's impossible to get an A in his class haven't gone to his office. Yeah he's a freak but just pretend to really like him and you'll get an A every time!

Totally Horrible. The only way to pass is to have him proof read. Every day. Anybody else would be better... and less creepy.

Comment:

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I took this class in summer A. Got an F on all assignments, even with just a few errors. Will not tell you what he expects from you for the assingments. The class is easy, but he makes it f***ing impossible. Me and another 13 dropped the class, at the time of this writing, only 4 (suicidal) students were left.

Comment:

I can't believe that he takes 30% off your grade for more than 2 errors! WHO DOES THAT?!? You may work on a paper for 3 hours, and not get any credit because you didn't center a picture to take care of the "white space". I would at least like some credit for the 3 hours of work I did

I don't understand all the whining is about. If you go to class and conference with him, you'll do fine. He's always willing to help students and is in his office during his office hours. He knows his stuff.

This guy is kinda crazy and kinda spooky. But he is really nice especially to girls, gerbils, and Buffy. SS300 is a great class if you like Science fiction.

Comment:

MCELWAIN!!!!!!!! is what I yell in rage every time I see him. Aced every one of his papers, but got a C in the class (probably for some stupid mistake on the final paper). Oh, oh, and that horrendous 60 page paper on bacon and toast.

Comment:

McEl-whack isn't particularly clear or helpful, but clear enough if you're gifted, I suppose. He is absent WAY too often, for unexplained reasons. Sarah Michelle Gellar and gerbil fetish (don't ask). Looks like an ex-70's**** star.

McElwain is sucks. Avoid his class at all costs. He would miss class with no explination, and not honor appiontments. BAD teacher.
