I liked him. lectures are pointless. Read the book to study for tests and you will be ok. He does get way off schedule though. still I am a RMI major so I will have him for many more classes and I'm happy about it.

Comment:

Stan is just an awful professor. He gets off topic so easily and is way off schedule. We are over a month and a half behind. His tests are incredibly hard, considering he doesn't teach the material. If you're required to take his class, be prepared to have to learn on your own by the book. If RMI is your major, change it. He's the only INS prof

He's a very nice and helpful teacher if you ask. His helper graded hard. So it was hard to get a 10/10 on the homework. He takes a long time to get through lectures.

He knows his information that's forsure but his lectures are boring. Tests are tough. He gets off topic really easy. He loves to talk about how much money he has constantly, its actually kind of embarrassing to listen to.

Very easy going. Lectures can be on the boring side. Do not get to use any type of notes on test like some other classes. Group Presentation is apart of the class.

Comment:

We are SO behind. We've had 2 tests and 3 HW assignments for a total of 230. We are to be at 500 at semesters end & take 4 tests- not happening. Nice guy but talks too much about things that aren't relevant. Tests are VERY difficult. He just can't teach a large class and I feel the entire class got ripped off only being taught HALF the material..

Comment:

Adamson is wonderful! He doesn't just go over the material in the textbook, he has guest speakers come in from time to time. He likes helping make sure his students find jobs after graduation. We have fallen behind, but only because he wants to make sure we really understand material before moving on.

Comment:

Dr. Adamson is the most disorganized professor I've ever had. We got 4 WEEKS behind schedule. Not 4 days, 4 WEEKS. We have 5 days of class left and we only have 140 points out of the 500 he said the class would be out of. He relies very heavily on the book. Read it, know the vocab, and do the application questions and you might be okay on exams.

If you can keep from falling asleep, you should do pretty well. Very passionate about insurance. Will help with grades with a few bonus opps. Tests are mostly conceptual. Staying awake = A

Comment:

Dr. Adamson is a very nice guy. If you have an interest in insurance it helps a lot in his class. The people that say that he is boring probably aren't talking about him and instead think insurance is boring. Also, he is willing to help his student in any way possible. He also a good person to network with because he knows a lot of people

Dr. Adamson is the nicest and most helpful guy you will ever meet. He has a passion for what he teaches, which can be a rarity these days. His class is easy if you do your part. Yes, insurance can be a dry subject, but only if you let it. Dr. Adamson does a good job at relating insurance topics to everyday life. Will takes classes from him again.

Comment:

I've had him for 2 classes and he is ok until he gets to know you, then he is annoying. He is also very discriminotory towards international students and women. And did I mention he is very BORING? Easy to get an A if you can put up with him.

The class is a little difficult if you are unfamiliar with insurance. He is a good teacher if you want to have outside class opportunities to learn about working in the insurance field.

Fun class. Kind of interesting stuff. Hes a really nice guy, gives extra credit if you attend certain seminars. Also very willing to help. I would recommend him. Only complaint I have is that he is very condescending towards international students.
