Comment:
Assigns WAY too much work. I took him for tagaste and regretted it because he did NOT teach HOW to write a paper well in english comp. He just expected that you already knew it. I didn't like his style of teaching. He is a good person, not a good professor. There are however a lot of opportunities to pick up your grade due to extensive assignments.

Comment:
He expects a lot. You have to post on blackboard, you have to read many pages, you have to write many papers (all very long papers, expect 7-10 pages instead of exams). Basically, you have to work for it. You have to be engaged. He's very fast-paced, so if you don't keep up, he will help to clarify questions later. He is a very nice guy, very funny

Honestly, if you seek extra help,the help from Prof. Ady will be anonymous. If you're lucky, he'll help, but if not, he won't. If he won't, don't go to the Academic Success Center because it won't also help.

Very knowledgable professor and very helpful to students. He isn't too tough of a grader and he assigns pretty interesting and relevant assignments. Reading isn't too heavy and class discussions are enjoyable. He's funny and interesting, isn't afraid to be truthful and real in discussions.

Awful awful professor. graded unfairly and was the most arrogant, narrow minded person i've ever met. His sly side comments we're entirely unnecessary and uncalled for. One of the worst professors i've had in my entire career as a studen.

Media Analysis - I love this class! The class is interesting, never a dull moment. Ady seems to genuinely want to see his students succeed in this class. He offers 6 essay assignments but only the 4 highest grades count - great chance for improvement. My only complaints are that he didn't respond to emails and I don't know what he means by "color."

Intro to Media Analysis --- Take this class! Prof. Ady is the man. Interesting, insightful and always exciting; never a dull moment in this class. There are nightly homework assignments, but they are interesting. This is a class in which you will actually learn something that matters. Go for it!

Comment:
Every essay you write you have to count your verbs. You can't use words like is ,am,are,was,were,be,being,and been more than 10 times. Very annoying. Lots of work, most of it tedious. I dont think he likes teaching such a low level course so he's tough. Nevertheless, great guy and very helpful. You will learn.

Excellent Prof and great class. Very laid back and class attitude was fun and relaxed. Hard grader, but offers a lot of options. has total of 6 papers, but you only have to do 4... if you do all 6, he takes the highest grade of 4. I'd def take him again, my hat's off to Ady! One of the best!!!

Coolest guy, maybe one of the best teachers at Assumption. He expects alot, and the workload is heavy sometimes, but you'll learn a ton, and likely never be bored.
