Comment:
Clearly only cares about his research. His grading parameters are unclear. He's disorganized in lecture and in the structure of the class: constantly changing things. His examples were frequently wrong or couldn't be explained well. Thinks too highly of himself and grades super subjectively.

Comment:
#1 Care about his own research and publications much more than care about student. Guidance to student is limited to those who commit to academic. #2 Exams usually are harder than HW to differentiate students, which is not a problem. However, he did not give students enough training to enhance that ability to facing that gap on a daily basis.

Comment:
Metcalf is a terrible teacher. He is clearly a smart guy, but he does not care about his students. If you want a teacher that is interactive, doesn't pick favorites, and genuinely cares about his students comprehension of the material, do not take his class. He is a bad teacher, and a mean person.

Comment:
Do NOT bother with this guy. I did alright in his class, but he is a hard grader. Shows little interest in his students, and is kind of a mean guy. No emotion when he lectures... lectures are disorganized despite following the same structure as the infinitely more understandable book. You'd be better off in someone else's class. Try Fennollosa(sp?)
