Comment:

I don't understand how any of you can say mean things about him. Sure, he likes himself, sure he is a PhD, but honestly... but with smarts like that do you honestly expect him to be 100% socially awesome? What matters is that he knows the material and teaches it in an effective manner. He wants people to do well in his course.

Comment:

He knows his subject well and could be a good teacher if he was not so wrapped up in himself. He makes the learning environment slightly hostile if he doesn't favor you. Be careful not to answer something wrong or he will surely let you and the rest of the class know how stupid you are.

Comment:

Wally is arrogant and straight up rude to his students. Every once in awhile he would tell an interesting story in class but otherwise class is dull. His tests are easy. You'll get sick of hearing him talk about himself by the end of the course. His expectations are vague. Doesn't have any clue what is going on with PR and the internet.

Comment:

Wally's pretty dry, but interesting. He has some good stories and is passionate about his profession. Comes off a little big-headed at times, but he is a doctor after all. His tests are really easy and he gives you the answers the day before. He grades tough on his papers though and can be a bit vague on the details sometimes.

Comment:

Wally is an awesome teacher and genuine person. Yes, I do admit that he comes off being a bit cocky at first, but that doesn't take away from his helpfulness and great personality. He tells you EXACTLY what to do to get an A. How easy is that? He also is involved in the lives of his students (i.e. attending sporting events & other activities) A+ :)

Comment:

SOOO boring. He's only nice if you are one of his favorites. It's hard to tell the difference between what he wants you to know and what he's just jabbering about. He goes off on tangents all the time. Tests are pretty easy though. He pretty much gives the answers to you a few days before.

No one in their right mind would ever give this guy a 2 or a hot chile. Rate my Prof is WRONG on this one. I think the ratings are messed with somehow. Want to see just how bad a "prof" can be? March behind this one.

Okay. First of all. Don't even buy the book. You DONT need it. Wally gives you everything you need to know. You'll learn something in his class. Bad part - he takes attendance. You CAN NOT skip more than 2 classes or your grade drops by 5% each day you miss. He is rude and condescending to all his students.

Anyone who has anything bad to say about Wally has some serious major issues. He is such a great genuine prof. He cares about his students and takes interest in their life. Those of you who have bad stuff to say apparantly do not know the "real" Wally.

Comment:

Condescending towards graduate students; you endlessly watch the West Wing - which I will never watch again after this class - as an exercise in organizational communication, and assignments lack clarity. On a positive note - the exams are easy. He basically gave the answers the week before.

Wally is a great teacher and is always willing to work with students on their assignments. All courses come with a lifetime guarantee (his, not yours) and you learn a great deal. Definitely recommend.
