Comment:

Class was SUPER boring but incredibly easy. Required readings for almost each class & vocab was crucial to him. Forced to participate, but not hard at all. Sweet man, not judgmental and has some corny jokes. Tests are real easy - failed the first one bc I didn't do vocab but with extra credit, received a 99% in the class. TAKE IF NEED EASY CREDIT.

Comment:

Overall, the class wasn't too terrible. Not too many assignments. One really, really big research paper and a pointless powerpoint. Boone was kind of confusing, and then he became ill and my class recieved a substitute professor that threw us all off. He was a nice dude, although we didn't see him towards the end. Go to class, it's not so bad.

Very easy class. You don't do too much. Not clear on all instruction. Midterm was only worth 10% of grade. Research paper was 37%.

Comment:

This class is such a joke. All you do is write a research paper and make a powerpoint on your topic. Yeah, it's easy but it's possible you'll go crazy with Boone. He tends to not explain things very well and expects you to know everything. There is no textbook, just EdWeek. He kinda drives me crazy, but the class is easy, as long as you go.

Comment:

Boone is really awesome. He has an extremely dry sense of humor which I liked a lot. Ridiculously easy class I don't even know the purpose of it but oh well. Four exams, he gives them to you the class before, lots of memorization but everyone cheats cuz he leaves the classroom. Definitely TAKE HIM if you have to take this class.

Comment:

This class is a joke. You have two assignments and after that you just have to suffer through trying to understand what he's talking about! Sit in the front if you want to listen to what he says because he refuses to speak up or clarify on questions. Easy A if you do your work. He's an okay guy but the class itself is painful to take!

Comment:

The worst professor I've ever had! He thinks he knows everything...who hates the scroll feature on computers?? The class did not need to be in a classroom...it should be completely online because most of the time you don't even have to come to class. It was so easy if you're looking for an easy A (I got one!). You waste a lot of ink on printing

Comment:

Boone is a real nice guy. You sit in groups and get an issue to research and write a 5 page paper on, and then you present a power point about your issue. Very easy...almost too easy to keep your interest. Take if you want an easy grade, but be prepared for a lot of independent work and research. This class is a guaranteed C, and a low effort B/A.

Comment:

Easy class. Take it! the people that didn't like him were the ones that didn't actually listen to him. You do have to read, but most of readings are easy. At first i didn't like this class bc he's a bit of a downer. but just listen to him. he's had some good experiences

Comment:

He's nice to you if you don't do stupid things. 4 tests all semester and the review for the test is the actual test! EXTREMELY EASY A. You have to turn in a 1 page summary/reflection every class but half of the page is taken up by instuctions that you MUST print out on the page with your summary. He will spend all class trying to work the comp.!

Comment:

This class was easier then classes I took in high school. Class never really started on time and then it ended within 30 minutes tops. He's makes jokes, some are funny, some you are like huh? but the most important thing is that you dont need a lot of effort at all and you still get an A.

The Class is very BORING. HE talks for about 15mins then you work on group projects for the whole semester. Easy A if you talk to him and come to class.

Comment:

This is the most boring class, he makes jokes that arent funny and is offended when you dont laugh! All we did was check our e-mail and facebook! One 5 pg. paper and 1 group powerpoint. Class usually lasted 30 min. and he cancelled class occasionally. Get on his good side and you'll get an A.

Comment:

soo annoying, repeats the same "jokes" over that are just funny because you are laughing at him. A complete flake, says one thing then says another, is never clear about what assignments are and when they are due, spend the whole semester working on research for a 5 page research paper and a powerpoint, its a joke, but an easy A.

Comment:

this class is the biggest waste of time. It suppose to teach how to use information effectively like how to search the internet or use power point things I learned how to do in 2nd grade. The teach is funny and easy kinda goes off on random bouts about something but he can't help the fact that this class sucks.

Comment:

This class is the biggest joke! Half the time I didnt go to class and still got an A. Make sure you get a good group when you start class...your whole semester is based off your group project. You have one paper and a power point pres. He gives you the questions to the midterm and final...no other tests except those 2.
