Comment:

I like Dr. Ebo because he is very funny in class and keeps the class entertaining. He gives a lot of homework and expects you to be very precise in writing papers and during open discussions. He can be very strict especially with attendance, formatting with assignments, as well as technology use in his class.

Dr. Ebo is a very nice man and he gets the main points across very well. His biggest flaw is that he is very monotone but other than that he's great.

Great professor and be very passionate about teaching (and talking). Sometimes class is brutal but most of the time he makes class interesting. He has rules some tedious rules, and gives a lot of work. Other than that you will learn plenty from him.

Comment:

Dr. Ebo is a great guy with a lot to offer. He is very insightful and knows what he's talking about. However, he can often be unorganized with his lectures and grading. He repeats questions on tests to "make sure you got it". Thick African accent that can sometimes be hard to understand. This class is an easy A as long as you do your work.

Comment:

Ebo is a decent professor and is interesting but you need to want to learn. His lectures at times are long and he will catch you procrastinating on your phone or laptop but if you participate and study you will do well! He definitely can tell who cares and who doesn't, this class is not an easy A but it's class you will be smarter after taking.

I like Dr. Ebo's teaching style and he appreciates class participation. He gives you readings and he expects you to be prepared for class. He's fair, approachable, loves sports, respectful and professional. There are so many great things that I liked about Dr. Ebo. I took his Gender Communications class. I would take him again.

Nice guy, but lectures are painful to sit through. He often forgot what he has covered and repeats himself almost every class. Attendance was taken daily. Test questions were super random but most were found on quizlet or in text book.

Comment:

He's so sweet and helpful. Dr. Ebo encourages an advanced style of learning where the class is expected to discuss the topics and information in a round-table like atmosphere. Many students were not prepared for this or willing to participate. I prefer this style of teaching over being treated like underclassmen. Came away with great experience.

I love him as a person. But he is very unorganized doesn't hand back assignments all that often. and lectures about the same thing over and over again. he's a great person and really understanding. he never answers emails. and he canceled class a lot. if he was more clear and organized i would take him again.

He is hard o understand because he has a very thick accent but overall he is a good professor and his class was enjoyable. His tests were very easy as long as you studied exactly what were on his powerpoints.

I have had Dr. Ebo for a number of classes during graduate and undergraduate school. HE IS THE BEST. Raise your hand and participate. He likes people who aren't afraid to speak their mind. He is very open to helping students and will genuinly listen. If you need help ASK. He is a very smart guy and a really wonderful person.

His class can be easy if you just take notes. It talks fast but you just have to listen. His videos are very useful and will show up on his exams. Take Him

I took Ebo for Comm Ethics. He is a funny guy and I found his class entertaining. The only thing I disliked was his unclear grading- I got a B in his class and was unsure about why I didn't receive an A. I'm pretty sure everyone in the class got a B.

Comment:

Dr. Ebo is the man. His class was awesome. If you participate he will love you. The midterm and the final were really easy. At the beginning he is kind of hard to understand but as the semester progresses it becomes much easier. He comes to late every class and he also cancels class a lot. I recommend this class if you are a communication major.

Comment:

I could not stand this class. Ebo himself is a great, intelligent, funny guy, but I found his teaching style to be maddening - the class was absurdly pointless and disgusting underchallenging. He babbles on and on and on all class and gives about 80 examples of concepts that only need one. He sure likes to talk, but he is a terrible teacher.
