Comment:

Did not provide much feedback on the assignments so be prepare to email alot to him. Work was not hard but it was not easy. takes more than 2 days to respond and the group work is what determines if you pass the course. the indirect method is the hardest so go research about it and learn it before you get to this course.

Does not provide details about the graded assignment . Forgets to add grades so always check for something if its not marked on the rubric. Not a quick res-ponder to emails so email him asap when he post something on black board

Comment:

You have assignments and discussions due every week. He is a TOUGH grader. He picks out everything wrong with your work. I turned everything in on time, but made B's and C's on everything. Somehow made an A in the course. TAKE THE FINAL. He's good at replying to emails. You will need the textbook.

He is a really good teacher. The material in the class is pretty interesting. He gives you chances to redo almost every written assignment. You will need your textbook because he gives quizzes over almost every chapter, you will go over in the class. If you don't read, you won't pass the quizzes. Overall, solid teacher that is willing to help.

Comment:

He's actually a pretty competent, low-demanding teacher. Does remind me of high school, however. He could have higher expectations of us, I think. By the way, anyone typing the word "you" with the letter "u" does not have a reason to complain about him expecting too much of us. He's a reasonable man.

Comment:

He is NOT a good teacher. He is confusing. Nothing is clear. He holds a double standard for your work and his. He takes weeks to get grades back. His answers to most of my questions are sarcastic and he seems as though he is very annoyed. He allows revision for papers though.

Comment:

One of my favorite professors at UTC! He is extremely helpful when it comes to the papers if you ask him for help. He grades the reading responses hard, but they don't affect your grade much at all. He proofreads and edits your papers and gives them back for you to correct before submitting them for the final grade. Easy A if you try.

I took his online class and got through it. The material isn't all that interesting. All of the assignments were from the book. The discussion questions were not difficult at all. There was only 1 paper all semester and it was a group project. Not bad at all.

I love Mr. Parker. He is very understanding and approachable. He wants you to do your best, so grades his papers pretty tough, but he allows revision. There is never homework, other than papers, but he gives you plenty of time.

Comment:

I really did not like this class. He's a nice guy, but not a very good professor. He's unclear of what he wants in papers. He says he doesn't grade papers hard, but he lies. He does! You have conferences, but it doesn't help much. If you're an astounding writer, you'll do fine. He grades reading responses INSANELY hard. I hated going to class.

Mr. Parker is bomb. He's funny and knowledgeable on his subject. He rarely gives good grades on papers, but don't worry about it - C's are considered good on his RR's. Nice guy. Make sure you show up and do your work.

Comment:

Professor Parker is a great teacher and as long as you do the work and go to class you'll have an easy A. He rarely ever gives an A on any paper you turn in bc he wants you to revise it in the portfolio. In the portfolio, you are given the oppertunity to redo EVERY paper to receive the grade that you prefer. This class will not take up much time.

Comment:

I got a C in his class, but mostly it was my own fault. He is a bit unclear about what he wants with papers, but there are plenty of opportunities to figure it out. He grades a bit hard, but he's really nice and laid back.
