It was horrible. He would talk about everything but the topic itself. I had to drop the class because I was doing so poorly. He still gives the test, even if you don't understand.

Comment:

This professor was very difficult for me. He is a great person and great to talk to. He knows exactly what he is talking about but the information did not come clear. The only grades throughout the semester are three difficult exams and the cumulative final. HOWEVER, he gives an option to do homework online, DO IT! It adds points to final grade!

Comment:

I would never recommend anyone to take this teacher for economics. Instead of teaching he talks all class period about things that aren't related to the material, the book is useless and never used, and he doesn't even try and help his students pass the course. If you are considering taking him, don't! Trust me I know. I received an F in his class!

Comment:

Dr. Franck is the usual. He's funny but sometimes his lectures don't match up with homework. 3 tests and a cumulative final. Some multiple choice/short answer. Final exam and the highest 3 scores from either tests 1-3 or homework count towards final grade. He doesn't teach 204 but recommends Kyer for 204.

Professor Franck is a HORRIBLE professor. He doesn't care about his students or if they learn or not!!! He tries to be funny but he's waaaayyyy far from that!! I wouldn't recommend anyone to take his class!!!!

He rambles a lot and isn't very clear. I had to sort of figure everything out on my own. It's a lot of material. Once you get behind it's nearly impossible to catch up.

Honestly I don't see why he has such a high rating. His homework does not go along with the course, and you can't follow his lectures. He's a good man, and willing to help, but his teaching style is not for everyone.

Dr. Franck is hilarious and goofy. He really cares about his students but he gets side tracked in his lectures. But he's fair nonetheless.

Test are very hard, he says they are hard himself. Does not help you in any type of way. Made students drop out with his style of teaching. He cracks jokes during his lectures (not funny) and does not stay on task. He is a good dude at heart, but i honestly believe he does not care about his students will being anymore.

This is my second time at FMU but this time I am paying. He teaches by examples and it makes sense. Very helpful in and out of class! Thanks.

Comment:

Really nice guy. Can be a little unclear with his lectures sometimes, but overall does a good job. He also tends to get off topic a good bit as others have said...But it's nothing too serious. Class was relatively easy. He post practice problems on blackboard for the class to study, and are very much based on his test. DO THE HOMEWORK. Helps a ton.

Comment:

I hated Economics before coming to this class; Dr. Franck really makes the material interesting and applicable to everyday life. He gets off topic pretty often, but is hilarious when he does. I don't know if he does the same for other classes, but he payed us 1-2 dollars for passing his tests (not much, but still pretty cool). Great professor!

Comment:

The man LOVES to talk about himself. When he tries to lecture he gets really off topic and starts trying to make the class laugh but it rarely works. I check my phone every 5 minutes ready to leave. Tests are hard but passable.

One of most useful classes i have taken at FMU. It was hard, but he explained how it fit together and why. Lots of examples and would keep at it as long as i asked.
