Comment:

A JOKE! This professor sits there and rambles the entire class about random stuff, none of it has to do with critical thinking. Gives you essays to write with no instructions on how to write it, insults the students, and acts like the class is a joke. Because it is. I had to drop the class, sadly. Complete waste of time. DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!

Comment:

Professor Edmunson rambles on and on and on about absolute nonsense. You do not learn anything during class, and then you have a paper due. Also, everything you do in this class will be about African American history and Jesus. All of the books, and all of his references are about african american history and jesus and moses and whoever else. 1/10.

Comment:

This is a horrible Professor I have ever taken. Comes in at the beginning of the class and expect his students to jot down whatever there is on the board with his sloppy cursive handwriting and students are not allowed to ask any questions until hes finished with his sloppy handwritten notes on the chalkboard. Assignments are not clear.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. Hes very rude and EXTREMELY vague when it comes to explaining what you need to do for essays, which is basically what the entire English 101 class consists of. He also doesnt follow the syllabus and I ended up writing an entire 10 page essay (which is what the directions said to do) only for him to change it last minute.

Comment:

The entire semester is graded off 2-3 papers and one quiz. The lectures are not about the English language or critical thinking, instead he rambles about living your life properly, sprinkled with comments about his mistress. I cant say I learned anything in this class. Attendance is never taken. There are no handouts, just illegible writing.

Comment:

Not caring, he spends a good part of the class talking about how technology is destroying our world, and about his experiences in life. Gave everyone C. He thinks that the good essays are the one that "break the box", whatever that means. Definitely take another professor

Comment:

I was only graded on four papers. Three individual papers one was a reseach paper. The final the professor gave us an option to take an idividual final or have a group project. As a class we worked together and made one paper to turn in. The professor doesn't care if you show up, as long as you turn in your papers on time.

Comment:

All you do is copy notes off the board for half an hour while he rambles on about how we should strive to live meaningful lives and about how stupid we are for relying on technology and lets you leave early. Gives zero feedback on essays despite taking three (3) weeks to grade them. Very slow paced class with five-ish chapters to read per 4 weeks.

Comment:

Doesn't lecture, copy notes off the board and leave. Condescending and arrogant. Constantly refers to his book he wrote (you've never heard of it) or other schools he's taught at (wonder why he isnt still there). Gives vague feedback and answers questions with questions. Dropped after a few weeks. Take literally anyone else.

Comment:

I didnt learn anything while taking this course. he ends class extremely early, and lets you go as soon as you finish copying the notes off the board. Talks down on students, and has made a few cry. Everyday Id come to class and leave pissed off at a comment hes made at a student, and not one thing learned. Never went back to be honest.

Comment:

This professor is unpredictable and takes a lot of getting used to so be careful. In a way this could be an easy class, because you can go and end up sitting there listening to him talk about random stuff while copying down some notes, then you can leave once you're done with the notes. He really doesn't give much feedback on assignments though.

Comment:

Prof. Edmundson has very particular and strict grading criteria for his essays. If you meticulously follow his criteria and you are already a strong writer then you should do fine. He often came across as condescending, which was frustrating at times. Definitely took a lot of willpower to get through this class.

Comment:

By far the worst teacher that I have ever had the misfortune of having. We started with about thirty students and ended with about eight. The course consisted of assigned reading and then writing an essay. He doesn't give much feedback for how long he spends grading them. He does no teaching and is a pseudo professor with a chip on his shoulder.

Comment:

On the first day of class there was over 50 people. By the last week there was 7 of us left. If you turn in all the assignments and show up to most classes you can definitely pass. I ended up with a B somehow and dont consider myself a very good writer.

Comment:

Worst Professor I've ever had, I recommend to stir clear of this class. On the first day of class he told everyone that half the class was going to fail and that he only wants 10 students in his class. I haven't learned anything in his class all semester and his notes are far beyond confusing. He just rambles during the whole class period.

Comment:

This professor claims he has multiple degrees and has written many books. All he talks about is his perception on education , and how much of a cerebral thinker you should be. Sadly , i have not learned anything taking his class. Notes on the board first weeks of class , he does not teach !! he sits there and talk about meaningless life perceptions
