Comment:

Sparkman is a great prof. Content of Man Sci is pretty dry, but if you go to class, and don't get left behind you should do well. He's a really funny prof (dry humor) and a very interesting guy. Attend class, and keep up and you'll do fine!

Hands down the best prof I have ever had.So nice, just do you work and put forth a little extra effort. He only helps those to make a serious effort.If you go see him one on one, then you will have no problems. If he knows that you are serious about learning, then he definately goes the extra mile for you. Thank you Dr Sparkmen! :)

Sparkman is actually stupid... The course is horrible... He really can't teach and I think the only reason he has his job is bc of the union.

Useless class. Sparkman often doesn't know the answers to his own problems, and when you ask him if you're doing the work right, he replies that he doesn't know. Awful.

WTF???? Why is he teaching? He can't teach at all. Constantly brings students down in class if they don't understand.

A **** ****. He does not give good students what they deserve. He doesn't base his marking on student's knowledge and achievements, he marks based on arbitrary assignments like the grade auction.

Comment:

He is one of the most confusing profs at the school. Lectures jump from topic to topic without flow. Not great for extra help and offers no tutors. Grade auction requires students to bid for 8% of their mark. Only saving grace is that his exams are simply larger versions of quizzes.

He tells you everyting that is going to be on the tests and although he is very unclear and doesn't teach very well, if you pay attention, you know what he is going to focus on.

I found Prof. Sparkman one of the best profs at Acadia. He gave real-life cases and situations. 10 years later and I am still using his text and notes as a reference.
