Great guy! I'm not an ED major but wanted to take him just because i had heard good things about him. You only get the grade you deserve in there based on your effort.

Comment:

an energetic, caring, godly, passionate man. get to know him personally, u'll never regret it. he's unorganized and at times unclear about assignments. BUT light workload for the most part. a must-take for ed majors. he equips your heart and mind. sometimes his class consists of too much jokes. but he makes u look forward to coming to his class

Comment:

Some of what you have to do in this class is helpful but MacKey himself is highly elusive and blames you for not seeking out other students in the class if you could not find and question him. His project instructions are incredibly non-specific and this is yet another Ed. class where you're told to teach differently than you're being taught.

Mackey is FANTASTIC! He cares so much about his class and his family. Helped me so much when I came back after being sick. Tests are hard but completely fair. He gives study guides so if you do the work, then you'll get a great grade. Made me feel like I could change the world of education and make a difference in kids lives. GREAT PROFESSOR!

Comment:

We got into an argument after I wrote him a less than stellar review for class. After meeting two separate times I thought we had worked things out. Prior to this argument we had been really close so I asked him for a recommendation. After a phone interview with a future employer, they told me that they never received it. Hold a grudge much?

Dr. Mackey is the man! He always makes class fun. I had him for 201 and 202 and he is one of my advisors. He has a passion for teaching and loves working with inner city kids. I thought the work for his class was pretty easy and he did a good job of getting us involved with presentations, etc.

Dr. Mackey is the best professor I have had at college. He makes learning fun and provides hands-on examples as to how we should teach in public schools. He also requires out of class voluntary work, which can be hard but is tons of fun and well worth it!!!

Comment:

This guy is a great prof the first semester in EDUC 201. However, he sits on the opposite end of the spectrum for the second semester in EDUC 202. I feel no incentive to go to class. He rants and raves about everything but the notes. Somehow he has gotten it into his head he is teaching us stuff that way but I dont believe he has.

Wonderful man, very good class. He truly shows a passion for teaching, and that rubs off on those who really want to be impactful teachers. Tests are by no stretch of the imagination easy, only with double-digit hours of studying will one get a decent grade. But overall, Mackey is the man.

Comment:

Great guy and very inspiring. Not terribly organized or clear (as much as he seems to try, I always had to ask classmates about the assignments.) He's kind of dogmatic and can take the Christian thing a little far. I'm glad I took Edwards then Mackey; I learned a lot more first semester, but Mackey made me feel more like I could make a difference.

Comment:

Very preachy. Nice guy but not organized at all. Talks all class period and eventually gets to the point at the end. "It's kinda crazy." You won't retain a lot of information past the tests but the class is easy overall.

Dr. Mackey was my favorite GCC professor. His foundations classes gave me a passion for teaching. He is interesting, funny, organized, tests are hard but he gives clear study guides and tests on exactly what it says, loves his students, really helpful. TAKE THIS TEACHER!!

Comment:

Do not take this man for Found Ed or you will regret it. He babbles and preaches for the entire class period THEN finally gets to the point and gives notes that you need after class time has ended! He is so full of himself that it's hard to bear. Tests are impossible and the material is worthless. Gives WAY too much out-of-class work. Total BS!>:-(

He is so interesting and makes class a lot of fun. The tests are hard, and you need to know tons of information. He's unclear about assignments, which is annoying. Overall though, it's an enjoyable class and you learn a lot.

Comment:

He was unclear a lot, and I thought he was too sterotypical of me (and everyone else in the class) which made me mad. His first test is killer, but after that, it gets easier. He allows you a lot of extra things (other than tests) to boost your grade.

Comment:

Mackey has it all---especially if you are looking for someone to Be evrything we should be as teachers. He loves God, students, teaching, and it really makes a difference. He believes in us and what God can do through us! I can't wait for him to offer the Oxford trip again.
