Comment:

Quite possibly the worst teacher I've ever had... Even though the class was extremely easy he was NOT a good professor AT ALL. He didn't even grade our finals, gave us random final grades, and took off to start his vacation early and left the school to deal with it. I wouldn't take him again.

Comment:

No communication or interaction with students and rarely responds to students messages. Completely forgot to grade the Final exam, yet submitted the grades to BC. Problem was resolved by the Dean. Really, he shouldn't be a teacher at all. Easy A, though. Too much trouble though. Not recommended.

Comment:

He's an easy teacher cause I don't think he grades anything you turn in. I got A's on everything and got the same comment on the bottom of my papers the whole semester "good specific work... blah blah blah". Then at the end of this semester, he forgot to grade our finals and everyone in ALL of his classes got the wrong grades. But it was an easy A.

Comment:

The syllabus and his instructions weren't clear at all. This professor's grammar is like a 1st grader, and the test questions are filled with spelling errors and at times are missing the "true" and "false" answers, making it hard to earn any points for that question. Easy A, but no communication.

Comment:

He is absolutely useless. His syllabus is VERY unclear, and he does not answer questions at all. I'm surprised he's even on a college's payroll!

Comment:

Online summer class. Pretty easy if you do the work. There were short discussion questions every week and four 2-4 page essays, plus the midterm and final. His communication is really bad, he doesn't give you clear answers, if he answers you at all. His syllabus is also not very clear. Besides the no communication it was easy.

Comment:

I took the online course. I'm not sure how he is in class, but he doesn't communicate via email very well. Just pace yourself and the term papers aren't so bad. I hate history, but surprisingly I thought it wa OK in this class. I guess I recommend him.

Comment:

Online class. Does not communicate at all. His syllabus and expectations are totally unclear. He never answered any of my questions when I emailed him. Class discussions and 2-4 page essays due every week. I do not recommend online class, no communication, I did not understand what he expected on several assignments and he would not answer me.

Comment:

Took the online coruse. Easy A, just do the work. Don't even need the book, all assignments and tests are 1/2 page essays on a subject he gives. The essays are to be written from online sources, so most of your work time is spent googling for the subject and writing. Assignments are due every two weeks and it took me less than 2 hours to complete.
