Absolutely terrible. He treats this class like an upper level grad school class. For a level 3000, this class was by far my hardest and most stressful class. Exams are very hard. Worst grader Ive had on papers. Do not take this class

Comment:

Look- he's a really strict professor. We got 10 pts docked on a 30 pt assignment for not spelling out NBA. He's extremely hard to pay attention too, really boring, and I don't feel like I'm learning anything. You HAVE to go to class, but he only takes attendance half the time. Oh, and no technology because with him we live in the stone age.

If you are looking to learn something, take courses from Dr. Rockmore. If you are just another millennial looking for an easy grade, run! There are three things with Rocky: work hard, be involved, have an open mind. Beware, he has really done the job and knows that people who are people lovers make poor HR types.

I learned more in this class than any other i've taken. he's really not as bad as people make him seem. just keep up with the work and powerpoints. he structures his class and projects so you'll actually be able to apply the information and remember it. if you put in the effort, you should have no problem getting a good grade

Comment:

Better than I was expecting based on previous reviews. Yes he's a tough grader, but college is supposed to be challenging and he can tell when your work doesn't reflect that. I actually learned a lot from this class. DON'T USE THE TEXTBOOK! If you memorize the PowerPoints for tests, pick good group members, and keep up with due dates you'll do fine

Comment:

Study powerpoints, for projects he is a tough grader. The projects and assignments are lengthy (pages of instructions) but they help you pass and get higher grades for the lower test grades you get. Definitely passable but don't miss class. he failed a student for not ever showing up. So show up even if you are falling asleep (many did)

Comment:

I hate giving bad reviews but he is the worst professor I have ever had. His exams are terribly difficult for no particular reason. The material taught is easy he just makes it a lot harder and more complicated than it needs to be. Needless to say, if I didn't have a character limit on this, I could go on a giant rant about him.

Avoid if possible! No longer does extra credit. Tests are insane, all class averages have been a 61 or lower. Extremely unclear instructions and communication, even in tests! Terrible all around.

Comment:

Had him for multiple classes. He's a very tough grader, but he gives out extra credit to help boost grades especially on the first exam. His exams are very difficult so you need to study very intensely. The key to getting a good grade in his classes is to pick good group members and don't skip out on details/evidence in your papers.

Comment:

You will have to take him for HR, make sure that is the only class you take with him. He is the sweetest old man but has NO idea how to teach. He lectures every single class for the whole time. His lectures and powerpoints make no sense. Test averages are in the 50's. The book is a waste of money because nothing he teaches makes sense. God bless.

Comment:

Worst "professor" I have ever had in my entire 4 years. Know every single word on the slides, get ready to put a good amount of effort into group projects and barely get a C. He is harshest grader and has no rubric or guidelines for projects. Not clear on anything, barely told us due dates (syllabus dates were wrong). AVOID AT ALL COST, THE WORST.

Comment:

This was one of the most difficult classes in my college career. He was vague about assignment objectives, filled lectures with irrelevant acronyms, tried to be funny but fell flat every time, included false information in his PowerPoints, and often gave last-minute assignments. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. He shouldn't be teaching.

My second attempt. His class is way harder than need be. 3 exams@20% two projects total 25%, 10% on 3 exercises, 5% for participation. Attendance this time wasn't mandatory, but dont expect to pass if you dont attend. Dont take him if u want to graduate, he needs to go. Know slides top2bottom. Your A paper will probably be a C at best, tough gradr

Avoid if you can. Every comment made about this teacher so far is true. If you can't avoid taking him then buckle up and make sure you don't miss a class and remember to memorize every single slide. Also he never curves anything.

This class was much harder than it should have been. But you will learn in this class. A good grade is possible but you will have to put effort into it for sure. Tests have a short essay & MC portion. Do the group assignments & you should be fine on the essay parts (uses similar problems). No phones in class, no leaving or being late.

Didn't have a choice but to take him for the required class. Book was just for in-depth purposes but overall waste of money. For more clarification on assignments, his office hours were helpful. He's not as bad as people say if you don't wait until last minute. It's not the easiest class in the world just don't be lazy. Ja feel?

Comment:

If I could give a negative score I would. He refuses to help you and gets annoyed when you ask for clarity. He likes to assign lengthy assignments due the next class period without notice nor is it listed in the syllabus. You don't need the textbook as the tests are solely on lecture or the documents he posts on webcourses.

Arrogant. Does not explain his assignments that he gives with no notice. Lectures are extremely boring. Does not prepare you well for his exams which are very difficult unless if you memorize every word that comes out of his mouth. Would not reccomend.

Comment:

Doesn't explain anything. Gives very complex assignments with no instructions. Gets highly defensive when asked to be more clear. Will pile extremely long assignments on right before finals week. Gives a lot of bonus points and curves the final heavily (out of necessity) Avoid if you can, god's speed if you cant, its gonna be a tough ride..
