DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Offers no feedback or explanations for grading system. Professor does not care about the students questions or concerns. Modules and tests are outdated and littered with errors. Take someone else!!

SAVE YOUR TIME AND DROP NOW! If I could drop I would 100% but now I can't and it sucks so much because I'm thinking about just getting a "W" on my transcript.

Comment:

Took this course Spring 2018. Not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, but READING THE BOOK IS ESSENTIAL. Most, if not all module test questions and the final questions are found in the book. Read each chapter carefully and you will be fine. Paper is long and seems intimidating at first, but the topics are easy. Definitely a self-taught class.

I took this class online. Absolute worst teacher I've ever had. He never replied to a single email despite multiple attempts throughout the semester. Almost every single online quiz had errors, yet he does not reply to emails to fix these errors. Textbook example of a bad teacher who still teaches due to tenure... Avoid this class.

Comment:

There were 10 modules which consisted of lecture notes, powerpoints and outside material with a practice exam and a module exam for each module. There are no due dates, therefore you take these tests at your own pace. There was a term paper which was lengthy but nothing a college student can't do (offers extra credit if you submit your paper early)

Took him online. Don't expect him to explain anything to you. You have to do it on your own. Tests are hard, not everything is covered in the book he assigns you to read. You need outside source to pass his class. If you don't do the work you will not pass.

Comment:

This guy was definitely challenging. I didn't sleep for days when I was working on my paper. He was super picky about that. He gives study guide for each chapter/module but he really wants you to go beyond the textbook and research the topic on your own. I received a high B but I still would recommend that you take a diff teacher.

Don't take this professor's class. His students are a burden to him and he doesn't care about them. I barely passed his course.

This professor sucks. I emailed him asking when the modules were due and he told me to check blackboard. I emailed him another time about a question I got wrong on a test that I knew was right and its been 2 weeks so I emailed him another 3 times, still no reply.

Comment:

Dr. Tennant is not a nice man. Whenever I needed to email him any questions I had about the essay or the material for the tests I was always afraid how he was going to insult me or compare me a "fifth grader." Besides him, the class is relatively easy, do the practice tests and read the book, you should pass with a B or better.

Comment:

Dr. Tennant isn't willing to work with students or clarify certain things. He grades VERY tough and won't explain why he gave you the grade that he did. Don't email him about your concerns either because chances are, he won't reply back. Disappointing, that's all.

Comment:

Paper is ridiculously long. Slightly more than half of grade. Additional reading in order to complete paper. Reading is a must in order to complete the module tests. Besides the long paper, everything else was fairly easy. Very interesting course. All FAQ are already answered. Emails frequently to remind students of their procrastination. Love it.

Comment:

HORRIBLE PROFESSOR. He does not care about students passing his class or understanding the material. He gives assignments and expects you to teach yourself. I've taken other online courses and enjoyed those classes but this one in particular is pointless. Nothing in lecture/book is on exams. Do not take it because of the convenience.

10 online exams, 1 writing assignment. Writing assignment doable and is easier than the exams. Ton of exam questions not covered in lecture notes or text. Correct answers marked wrong. SMH! Not worth the headache. Keep your sanity and skip this class if you can. He advises you to register for same class next semester as many not likely to pass.

Took his Toxicology class, 1 huge paper (3000words/about 10-15 pages), 10 modules (mini exams on blackboard due by the end of the semester), and one 100 questions online final. The modules and final is all online on Blackboard. Attendance not mandatory. Do the rough draft for FEEDBACK before the deadline, DO IT DO IT!!! Passed class with tough B.

Comment:

I took this course online, and i was a little uneasy bc of these comments about him. The online class was really cool bc i had freedom within the structure of the class. If you are not great at time management, it may not be for you. 10 modules (they were pretty hard, bt doable), and 1 huge paper (i did 15 pgs,A+). The paper was actually easy tho.

Comment:

Take this guy if you don't want to learn. Yes don't want to learn. He literally doesn't teach anything on the materials on the test. Everything about the class is you doing it on your own. If you have a question that was on the test you got wrong but know you got it correct he won't care to look at it. When he retire students will benefit from it.
