Comment:

The worst professor I have ever had. He honestly does not care at all about the students, and gives absolutely no feedback. The tests are extremely difficult and he gives no extra credit opportunities to bring your grade up, and there are only 5 grades. He just reads off from his PowerPoints, and gives one word answers. DO NOT TAKE AT ALL COSTS!!!!

I was surprised by his low score because he was actually way better than what was advertised. I took his online course and it was organized very well and things were very clear in the syllabus. He was a fast grader and responded quickly if I emailed him. Overall I thought this was a very fair class and I would take him for another class.

He was ok. Definitely not the best. The class was pretty easy though if you do your work. I took it online over the summer.

Comment:

Most boring teacher I have ever had, literally will pause in the middle of a sentence for a whole minute before he remembers the rest of his sentence. Also never reminds you of anything online. Don't take him if you don't have too!

Very little feedback, even when directly emailing him. When you do get feedback, it is a very short answer. Heck, I even got a one word response to an email. Typical online class, but some assignments are very vague, especially the final project paper. Look elsewhere if you struggle with online classes.

Comment:

I'm in this class right now. I would just like to say that everything being said about this teacher is correct. He gives zero feedback, shoots you down in class, and does absolutely nothing to help you. He explained what to do on our research paper in two sentences on a powerpoint slide. And he wonders why so many people don't understand what to do

Comment:

Took this online and wish I hadn't. He doesn't care if his students learn anything. He just takes these online classes because he thinks they are easy to teach. Technically, they are the way he teaches them. Easy money for him, crappy grade for me. Thank you for ruining my GPA.

Comment:

Online format: Kelson's audio powerpoints were very helpful but that's where it ended. did not answer questions via email there was ZERO feedback on a HIGH number topic discussions. so I never knew if I was on target with this difficult subject until I took the test. Very poor student interaction.

Tests were just answering 4 questions completely everytime. He was extremely boring especially at 9am and although he had some cool stories about his experiances abroad hes just an old fart. Would reccomend taking with another teache but at least it as an easy A. Oh and dont bother partcipating in class he will say your wrong even if your right

Comment:

Horrible teacher. I felt his grading was a shot in the dark. He never gave feedback as to why you received a certain grade. You would ask what he was looking for in a test or paper and he wouldn't give a clear answer. Only 10 students in the class & 5 had issues with him.

Ok teach, just never gives a clear word of what he wants and grades hard on your test papers. Doesn't explain anything at all. Treats you like you're dumb stay away from him. Never got anything out of his course.

Test questions were very unclear and when asked about the question he took forever to respond and hardly clarified anything! I have only taken his online classes and both are ridiculous, more or less a joke!

Comment:

Overall, the class is pretty simple to get a decent grade. It is a necessity to buy the book because that is where the exams come from. Online posts are simple points. However, in class lectures are tedious and it often seems as if he looks down on students if they don't share his opinion.

Worst Professor I have ever had. He just reads off of a powerpoint and asks questions then makes you feel like an idiot for getting it wrong. Doesn't know anything about teaching and you won't learn anything from him

Comment:

He has alot of experience and he is easy to understand. You can learn alot from him if you to to class. Yes, he is hard to understand because he is a very quiet speaker but what he has to say is interesting and you can learn from it. Work is easy, essay tests are easy if you know the material your supposed to know.
