A tough grader, made some people cry but he was pretty much the last challenging instructor of this program. All the ones left are not worth the it

Comment:

Don't know where to begin. In revit he wants us to do a random project in class then work on our final at home. So we need to wait a week to move to the next step if we have a question. He is very rude when it comes to critiquing projects. Only gives negative comments. Should use corrective criticism. Also unclear as to what he wants in projects.

Comment:

Professor's feedback is inconsistent and unclear at best. Rather than giving students parameters and letting the students design and time manage, he only provides half of the directions at a time in order to let students to progress only at his desired pace.

Comment:

I had this teacher for both Environmental Controls & AutoCAD(take MJ instead). His classes are as lame as his vocabulary, probably because he never knew a dictionary exists, you can only hear like, kinda, and sharp for so long. He is a nice man and does care about his job but his teaching skills are not up to par, so I recommend not taking him.

Nice man, but not very helpful. Take MJ if you can, you will learn a lot more. I took MJ for CAD 1 and did a lot better and I learned more with MJ.

Comment:

WORST TEACHER!!! This is the most useless professor in the entire program! I don't know how people can write good reviews. He's AWFUL!!! He forgets what he tells you then holds you to the fire. He also teaches nothing well ... and that's when he's trying! A total waste of all our money and time.

I like him...but not as a prof. He doesn't remember what he said and expect you to hand in those "things". He is nice but has his moment sometime

Comment:

I like Damon, he's enthusiastic, defines everything good as neat or sharp (I've been lucky so far) and enjoys teaching, but can be a little vague and not push when it needs to be done. He has little time for bad attitudes and I appreciate that.

Comment:

He is the best. He is my favorite out of all of the design teachers. Why b/c he tells you exactly what he wants from your work. He tells you what to work on. He helps you. He is ot cruel. And I've learned so much from him.
