Comment:

He's an amazing Prof. All the bad comments made by students are cos they did not study enough. And what kind of student would call a prof (with a major age difference) a loser :/ He's a strict marker, but fair. He prepares you for your next years, especially if you're in management. Overall, he is an intelligent man and knows the subject well.

Comment:

Probably the worst thing about him is that doing what he wants in an assignment only qualifies you to a C grade. Accordign to him B and A grades require you to go beyond the requirements.

Comment:

Stay away simply stay away for this easy class he makes you work hard and doesnt give you the final mark you got. Takes average of GPA rather then you grades and trust me if you get 79.99999 he will not round it off 80 to give you A- but he will give you b+ which is what i got. so doesnt post anything online!

Comment:

Honestly, he is not that bad. He may be boring in class but he is a decently fair marker. If you do the work according to the way he wants you to do it, you should be fine. I found that the workload was spreadout fairly throughout the semester. In terms of helpfulness, he is not that helpful. Also, he will only answer relevant e-mails you send him.

Comment:

His "holistic" grading system is absolutely stupid!! It will never work for your advantage and you will end up getting a mark lower than that you expected! Very very boring! Talks about himself and his son every single class! NOT RECOMMENDED

Comment:

He tries to scare you off the first class saying that he hasnt given out an A in 7 years or something silly like that... But stick with him. He's a great teacher and extremely fair. There is a lot of work in the class and if you stay on top of it you'll do fine. He gives way clear explanations, all you have to do is ask questions.

Comment:

He is very intimidating at first but stick with him. It sounds much worse than it is. You'll end up liking him. He knows his stuff and will grade extremely fairly. His "holistic" approach will work to your advantage. Just make sure you do exactly what he asks and you'll do well. Class does drag on a bit but it's worthwhile anyway.

Comment:

I didn't fail this class (B+), I dont hate the man but I feel I can say that this is not a very good teacher. He does not explain assignments well, is a hard marker (no As or A+s given) and is a bit full of himself in his way of teaching. Hes somewhat friendly but also moody and refuses to admit his own mistakes of explaination. There are better.

Comment:

Amazing man! He may seem a bit tough at first, but he is great! Go see him in his office, even if you don't have a question and you can chat about anything for a long time! Great man! The class is sooo easy and if you put in the work, there is no reason why you wouldnt get at least a B+. Very highly recommended, would take him again if I could

Comment:

This guy is a pompous arrogant jerk. His "business" experience is a joke as he was a elementary school principal and refers to the business world like he read about in a textbook. I hope he realizes how ironic it is that he is a communications professor yet is one of the worst professors I have ever had when it comes to communication with him. F-

Comment:

Horrible personality, wouldnt wanna get on his bad side. You dont need to suck up to him to do well in his class. Just do the work the he wants it and u'll be fine! OH ya, he's a sucker for handouts and stuff during presentations. Dont let him scare you on the first day class with his creepy ass speech, he's not that bad

Comment:

Class content is a joke, and his business experience is irrelevant and outdated. Doesn't care about content of work, concerned only with presentation. Follow what he says TO THE LETTER. Grades on a bell curve where almost no one gets an A and no one get below a C, so minimal effort will likely get you a C, but extra effort will not be rewarded.
