Abysmal communication with students, constant attitude towards students, and he does not understand how to captivate a audience. He does not seem to care about the students at all.

I took this class to knock out a GE credit. He makes it way more difficult than it needs to be, his lectures are interesting and participation oriented using clickers. Hes very rude though and isnt a fair Professor. I would avoid taking him especially if ur just trying to get an easy credit.

Really good class. Learned so much and he is very passionate about the subject. You can earn a really good grade if you really study and pay attention to his lectures.

Grade relies entirely on attending every lecture for clicker questions and reading the textbook thoroughly to answer the clicker questions, reading quizzes on the textbook every week but if you're prepared for that and to take really good notes then the class is a guaranteed A

All he does is lecture, fails students for not showing up. If you do the extra credit he will choose to see if he wants to give you points

So much reading, and random assignments given with the reading that are normally no less than 500 words. Very unorganized, doesn't give a clear description on what he wants for assignments. Grades at the very last week of class, extra credit doesn't even count so don't do it.

Prof A knows the material well and is passionate about his teaching. Make sure to read the textbooks to get the clicker Qs right. To take good notes to prepare for quizzes and exams, focus more on what Prof A is saying and not the short bullet points on the powerpoints.

This class is very informative and very easy if you keep up with the lectures. I learned so much in this class and it honestly changed my life. I've taken 2 of his classes; Afras 170A and Afras 170B. I got A's in both classes. Definitely doable if you pay attention and take notes.

AFRAS 170B was a VERY interesting class. Professor A is clearly passionate about the topic. Definitely read the textbook so you can get the Clicker questions correct (they are HUGE for grades - 2 points for getting it right, 1 point for getting it wrong/attendance). Study for midterm, quizzes, and final, because they are a little challenging.

Took his online class this summer and thought I was the only one failing but after an email I sent out asking for a study buddy I realized everyone was not doing that great. Not helpful whatsoever and extremely rude. Dont take this intro class online because it is one of the hardest classes you'll take especially with this teacher. He's rude.

This is my first time rating a professor because I felt like I needed to let you all know that this course is not easy. The grading scale is preposterous. Usually A- is 90-93% right? But for this professor, your grade needs to be 95% in order to achieve a solid A. That's really high. Don't take this class if you want an A. smh.

Comment:
Worst teacher ever! I took AFRAS170B online and got an A- because of her grading scale. An A is 95% and up. She didn't have any lecture videos or online sessions so you have to read the book and understand it on your own. Her tests were extremely difficult...

This class was seriously easy. His study guides are exactly what's on the test. The only way you can't get a good grade is if you don't read. He even gives a lot of extra credit and he gives out more points then he says. Overall an awesome class.

This is my first review. I never usually review professors but man just honestly, listen to all these people who have commented before me. I dont know what else to say. I am overall displeased about the class. The final was mediocre. His quizzes were tricky. Just stop and turn away from taking him. Please. Save yourself the trouble.

Many see him as rude and intensely unfair to his students and I unfortunately agree. He missed about 6 lectures and also didn't give us notification an entire week of class that he wasn't going to show up.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! I received As & a few Bs however I received a low C on the final due to the inconsistent format and difficulty of questions. He insists the questions were fair but many pulled from minor details in the reading. I had questions while taking the final re the ambiguous nature of the questions but he wasn't even there!Awful prof
