Comment:

I had a 3.8 until I enrolled in 3 classes. I did well until I confused the final date. Urtgently explaining my error, asked if I could do anything. That i was enrolled in 3 classes and 3 F are going to kill my gpa. He was indiffererent. I graduated with a 2.8 As & Bs in all other classes & 3 yrs later, haven't been accepted into a nursing program.

This class was not hard at all and such a simple class, I don't understand the negative comments below me. There were a few quizzes that were untimed and a midterm and final, an easy A!

Comment:

I took my online class and I was worried at the begining of the class because he used 3 textbooks. It was a lot to read however, Dr. Flagg is very helpful of all the questions and quizzes has no time limit.

Comment:

If you do your assignments ON TIME and read the required material then you shouldn't have a problem with this professor. Expectations are in the syllabus. Slack then you get what you deserve. It's college, not high school.

Class was straightforward. I personally don't understand all of the negative reviews. Do the quizzes and exams, read the chapters...the material isn't difficult.

It was an ok class, but difficult for anyone who works a regular job. Deadlines are at 5 pm so for those of us that work we really have to get our assignments completed the day before.

Comment:

LISTEN EVERYONE: DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED by all the comments below. If I can do it so can you. (I was a C student because i never studied) I GOT an A in this class. Some of the assignments can be confusing, but are doable because he explain how to do them. Yes its a lot of work but easy to get at least a C in the class. Just do the work!

Comment:

Guy isn't nice isn't mean. I took him for online class this semester. Puts the work up for you to do, you do it. 2 exams which you probably won't pass but if you do the rest of the work seriously you'll come out fine. I did all the hmwk and got a D and F on the exams and still got a B. Just do the work, and get the grade.

Comment:

Online class was consistent for the first 3/4ths of the semester, once the assignments were moved from where they usually are there was no announcement, he refused to accept late work when he was at fault. He's not very concerned about your grade, IF he responds to emails it will most likely be very rude in the form on few words. Don't recommend.

Comment:

By all means TAKE SOMEONE ELSE! He is probably the worst professor I've taken here, and it was an online class. Completely unhelpful and doesn't at all care about your grade. If your assignment has an answer that doesn't completely fit what he wants you get a 0. Rude emails and God complex. Avoid taking him.

Comment:

I took PLA3615 with him online and am about half way through the course. I can say he is the worst professor I have ever had. His powerpoints are useless because they provide little to no additional information or explanation than what the text says. Worst quality is that he refuses to allow any defense against his unclear questions. Be warned

Comment:

If given the option to take this class with ANY other professor- take it. Flagg couldn't care less about being available for questions or of any assistance to students. Serious God-complex. Assigments aren't difficult. Short-answers must fit HIS exact opinion, regardless of what the text might say. Avoid at all costs.

Comment:

You don't want to take him. You might think you need him to finish on time because you registered late and he's the only one left (I wonder why) for the core class, but you don't. Stay another semester. It's not worth it.

Comment:

I took this class online, the material isn't difficult, but you must read his powerpoints and thoroughly read the textbooks. E-mailing him or asking questions won't get you anywhere, he simply chooses not to respond. If you can learn well on your own, take this guy--he doesn't try to trick you.

I truly wish I would have listened to the prior comments on this professor. I honestly cannot stand this class. I would surely take someone else without hesitation if such an opportunity arose. You've been warned. :)

Comment:

Definition of nuisance per se: Professor Flagg. Very tedious class and a multitude of assignments. Exams have ambiguous questions and when you try to defend your answer he swears he is right. Not an easy A at all. Pick someone else

This professor is useless! You will email him a question and he won't answer it at all! There is so much busy work and you have to find assignments, he is so unorganized! You definitely have to have motivation to get through this class!

Comment:

Class consists of weekly open book vocab. quizzes, weekly discussion postings, 4 one-page papers, random online chapter tests, 3 essay assignments, a midterm and a final. All VERY leniently graded. Easy to bs papers. Oodles of extra credit! Teacher is useless & website is unorganized. Fend for yourself understanding the syllabus. Still an easy A.
