Comment:

AVOID! rude, short with students and very hard to understand. His English is VERY bad. He also confuses the material in his own brain, then teaches it incorrectly! Interrupts students when they try to ask questions. Abrasive and rarely smiles. Litereally one of the worst teachers I have ever had. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. DO NOT TAKE!

Comment:

I didn't really believe the ratings, thinking "how hard can a CC online class be?". The book has nothing to do with the online assignments. He uses an expensive platform that does not help you learn. You can tell the professor is really not interested in his students' success. I took another ECON class with a different professor and was far better.

DO NOT take his online class, the power points he provides are irrelevant the course's homework and exam problems. YouTube was the only thing that I could use to better understand the homework. The 6 week course had 3 exams but were only available for 1 hour and 15 minutes at a certain time of the day which does not make sense for an online course.

You have to get used to him, but he's a good, hard-working teacher who genuinely cares. His tests are the only thing that make up the grade. It's straightforward. If you work hard you can get a good grade.

Comment:

Students get scared at the beginning of his class, since he lectures all class and only assigns 4 assignments (All Tests) throughout the entire year. More than half of my class dropped. That being said, he provides you everything you need to succeed. He knows his stuff, his hand outs are helpful, and if you listen and put in effort you'l get an A.

Comment:

I've taken both his online and in-person Econ classes. He is a FAIR grader, meaning he will change your score if need be, but he won't bump your grade because he likes you. If you read the textbook, you should ace this class (an 87 is an A, which is more than fair). His lectures aren't that great, but if you read, you can take it easy in class.

Comment:

Be aware and do not take this course by this professor! This was by far the most frustrating online course I have evert taken! The textbook doe snot help you on the practice work or exams which is ran by a program called aplia. And most frustrating of all, all exams are set to specific days (understandable) but only at a specific hour!?

Comment:

"Welcome to Econ 121 online class. If this is the first time you are taking an online class, I trust that you are going to have a positive experience. I have tried to make this class simple and student friendly as far as its online structure is concerned." This statement in regards to his online class is a joke. Text will not help you on tests.

Comment:

Was typically late to class and did not post grades. He would also give very small, unhelpful answers when emailed. Typically interrupted other students when asking questions or answering, cutting them off before they had chances to explain their answers. The grade part was the worst. I was 3/4 of the semester and did not know my grade. Don't take

Comment:

He missed two classes during one unit and then wondered aloud why our test average dropped from the last test. He's always late and his grading system makes it very difficult to get a good grade. He was a last resort for me because there were no other econ classes open. Now I know why.

Comment:

I took ECON 120 online and he was the professor, so if you have a real class with him your experience may be different but I wouldn't count on it. He is very vague, doesn't really explain much on assignments. Most emails I sent were answered by single sentence responses, which were also very vague. By far one of the worst professors I've had.

Comment:

Honestly, I did not like this class at all. He is very confusing. He would say something in lecture and test you on something completely different in the exams, which what your grade is based on. His exams were confusing and worded weirdly. AVOID! I worked very hard and barely got through. Its not worth the stress and anxiety

Comment:

He is not always very clear, and he can be very curt at timeds. No homework, so you had better pass your tests, and take advantage of what little extra credit there is. LEARN THE FORMULAS!!! Do not miss more than 2 days in class, or he will threaten to drop you.

Can't teach in his class , you honestly have to read the text book if you want to do good in his class . But he won't tell you that . He jokes with everyone saying "i'll see you next year", as if he knows he can't teach .

Comment:

Amazing professor with a good sense of humor. However, if you want to pass, you need to show up, take notes, and probably skim the book. He's going to make you work for your grade... but if you don't want to work, then don't go to college? If you have questions you can't be afraid to ask.. he can be intimidating but he's a really nice guy.

Comment:

Unfortunately this professor made it very hard to enjoy and learn much in the class. I have all resources, such as text book and power points, but when a student tries to ask a questions, he never seems to explain it clearly. he repeats what he originally said and doesn't make sure the student understands before moving on. Seems reluctant to help.

Comment:

He has a good attitude and gives great examples of the material in class. His major downfall is that he does a terrible job really describing concepts in a way students understand. Furthermore, the questions in the quizes are worded very differently from the book and lecture. In the end you better read the book and teach yourself if you want to pas

I don't know why these people are so tough on this professor. Sure he doesn't want you to talk during his lecture and wants everyone to be respected but that should be expected in all classrooms. I've taken a regular class with him and an online for economic classes. They were great! A lot of the grade is formed by tests but he is very fair!

Comment:

She does not respect her student's time. I took her online course because I am a young adult with three jobs and I don't have time for a set class schedule now. No less, she opens her exams less than two hours prior to the time they're due. Additionally, the tests and their wording don't correspond to the material, so they are very confusing.
