Comment:

Spends the majority of class time doing two things: going over material relevant to the course, and delivering personal anecdotes whose usefulness/relevance is debatable, but an absolute delight to listen to. He really does care about his students, and always quick to offer help/advice.

I took Professor Jones for a legal studies course because I needed an elective outside of my major. Prof. Jones is an amazing professor, make sure you do your work/study and you will do well. Would definitely recommend him.

Comment:

Jones is an incredible professor, one of my favorites at UML. Instead of teaching at you and forcing you to read chapters that youre never going to care about again, his classes are based on current events. He talks a lot about his own experiences, but they are interesting. No tests, only 3 written papers. Do the work you'll get an A

Comment:

This class consisted of him telling ridiculous stories about his life and very little teaching. He expected us to know things that we hadn't over. There are very few assignments but the grading criteria for those assignments is especially unclear so its difficult to get a decent grade. He doesn't care much about student development, just himself.

One of the best classes. V clear, consistent assignments. Every week is the same, which is tremendously helpful in online classes. No surprise presentations, tests, deadlines. V helpful in discussions. Expects good work. Easy A if you do the work.

This Professor sets the bar on how others should be. He gives all the tools one would need to learn and more. He leaves a lot of room to grow. If you want to really learn, take his classes. Best Professor I have ever come across. Highly Recommend. AAA+++

Very disorganized and gives random grades without explaining them. The class met once a week and he would wait until the night before class to send out an email with an assignment. Nice guy, but not worth taking

Comment:

This guy is a cool guy but he is so unorganized in his class it is ridiculos. Literally just slaps grades on papers/assignments and doesn't tell you what you did wrong. He has no criteria for assignments so you don't know what he wants either. I thought this would be a great class but after taking I recommend staying away
