Comment:

McGaughey is perhaps the worst teacher I have ever had. He focuses on humiliation, degradation, and vindictiveness. He is unable to convey his knowledge of the subject in a respectful manner and does not possess the versatility to explain a concept several different ways. Capella needs to remove this man from their faculty.

Comment:

Nick is very knowledgable about accounting, but teaching it is not his forte. Very confusing answers and his modification of course standards were very confusing. Nit picks on homework assignments. Very biased grading. Watchout!

Comment:

Nick McGaughey lacks professionalism, competence, humanity, and ethics. Openly berating a student (online), shaming and blaming, refusing to answer ANY questions, grading an objective course ENTIRELY subjectively. What a waste of time.

Comment:

Expectations do not match, and often contradict the syllabus and scoring guides (rubrics)--causing great confusion for an already difficult subject. Very unreasonable, and not willing to work with you.

Comment:

Instructor guidance and grading: Guidance communications is often confusing, ambiguous, contradictory, and publically inappropriate, condescending, disrespectful and unprofessional--to down right humiliating. Grading is inconsistent, unclear, and can be perceived as unfair and retaliatory

I have to disagree with the others who have posted. This teacher is the absolute worst. This is the second time I have had him and both times there were problems.
