Comment:

Its a HARD class. DONT skip & DO ALL 'optional' hw/article presentations. Those hw problems you want to blow off are the key to your success. Optional 12 pg end of year paper could def change your letter grade. Show him you want that A. Take this class in a lighter semester. Stay engaged to actually learn some very useful skills to take forward.

Comment:

He seems unorganized but there is a method to his madness. Take notes of the little things he tells you in class. THEY WILL SHOW UP. It helps to jot down the lecture structure to narrow down the material for exams since he doesn't always cover the whole chapter and likes to add secondary, testable material. I don't suggest blowing this class off.

Comment:

Avoid Russell at all costs! He is an incredibly scatterbrained guy, and his online course materials prove it. Very little help to students, with little clarity overall. Has many trick questions on his quizzes and exams. I HAD to know the textbook back and forth to pass.

Terrible professor. Assignments are not covered in class. Very disorganized. Test questions are much more difficult than anything gone over in class or on previous test. Average test scores are usually 71-72. DO NOT TAKE!

I thought he was pretty funny and interested in his subject. Went over all of the homework in class and was responsive to questions. Open for office hours. Tests consisted of exactly what he said they would.

Probably has a high IQ but has terrible people skills. He's smart, absent minded, disorganized and far from the best professor.

No Mr. OR-Nerd: The class DOES NOT run on autopilot! You have to TEACH something as well!

Comment:

His teaching is an atrocity--he simply doesn't give a hoot and this shows through during lectures and assignments. Dr. Russell exhibits that really appalling combination where an instructor doesn't have the slightest care for their own teaching, yet subject their students to only the harshest of standards when it comes to grading. Fair?

Comment:

He's disorganized. The folders on his shared website were cluttered and there was lots of extraneous and useless stuff in there. This after repeatedly ignoring this on his evaluations. He arbitrarily deducted points, every assignment. He could not account for why he deducted points where he did.

Horrible teacher. Doesn't make his own powerpoints or tests. Doesn't answer questions. Hands out homework that is nearly impossible and doesn't cover it in class. BEWARE.

Comment:

Good prof, I had to repeat the class but that was my own fault for thinking I could get by not working. Do the work, and if you know someone who took him the previous semester, ask them for the tests because they'll be almost exactly the same (plus he let us use notes on exams, so those tests can be pretty handy). Good sense of humor.

Comment:

Poor teacher. Doesn't assign point values consistent with required amount of effort for each assignment. When every single student doesn't know to do something extra on a case study, assumes it's the students' mistake and not his, counting off points.
