Comment:

I don't know if it was because it was his last semester teaching or if he has always been this way, but he was incredibly laid back and easy to converse with. He really had a passion for what he taught and he really enjoyed the students' perspective on the subject. His projects weren't too taxing and fun to do. Class had a great vibe. Awesome guy

Comment:

Minor was OK, he is not clear on what he wants, does not use moodle at all and hands out papers like water. IF you like to get personal and write alot of papers, go for it! He does not micromanage you, can eat/drink, use laptop but not while he's lecturing. He notices EVERYTHING, but is quiet about it-be attentive and involved. Big group pres..

Comment:

For leadership development, Awesome teacher, talks alot and likes papers. Get personal! Two projects, a group presentation & paper and a personal paper 8-10 pages long. Quiz every week, on chapter, but discusses prior to giving quiz so it's not bad. He is very quiet yet assertive & listens to everything. Overall, great teacher!

Comment:

Very friendly and approachable, with a low-key demeanor, respects individuals as well as their varied opinions, often let class out early. Three tests which were all essay, but open book and note. Additionally one group project that is fairly easy. Enjoyed interaction with students and genuinely wanted them to have fun while taking the course.

Comment:

He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to make the class interesting because of his knowledge and enthusiasm. I learned most from what he offered the class. The assignments that he gave lent greatly to the learning experience and were both deliberate and useful. Not one assignment felt like "busy work". The tests were too easy.

Comment:

Class was actually fun to go to, however Professor Minor is very unclear with what he wants out of the assignments and papers. Also, if you write him an e-mail to explain he will take a long time to respond. In class if you ask him a question he is very, very vague.

Comment:

I was absent from one class and had to do an extra credit project to make up for it. Also he wants students to get very personal with the writing. That is not something that is easy for me to do. His teaching style is EXTREMELY BORING!

A very nice man but I find that he is not very clear in his directions / expectations. I find him difficult to understand as to exactly what he is looking for.

Professor Minor is wonderful. Great person to be around, funny and sincere. Cares about students and what we are interested in. I'm taking him again and would recommend him to everyone. Not that often you find Professors who care about their students.

Professor tries to make the class interesting by doing activities instead of lecturing. Quizes before class on readings are rather difficult and very specific. Journals and presentations are easy. Overall it's an okay class.

Comment:

Makes you want to fall asleep! Talks to the floor and is not clear on anything. Daily quizes are difficult but there are no exams. There are 10 journals that you must do it and 2 presentations. One is with a group. Not to difficult. Overall a very nice guy, but I don't think he knows what he's talking about. Maybe years go he did, but not know.
