This prof is the hardest prof Ive ever had. He talks more about himself than the content. His class is unorganized and he doesn't explain the work well.

I LOVE DR. PADGETT! I've taken him twice, the 1st time I got a D (I was violently depressed at the time and failed all of my classes during that semester as well). The 2nd time I got an A! Both times taking his class were enjoyable. I loved the course and him as in instructor as well. He's electric! He has so much energy and passion, it was great!

Holy crap. This guy is the single worst professor I've had between three institutions of higher learning. I came away from two semesters of his instruction without a single thing learned, and naught but wasted time to show for it- but darned if I couldn't write a paper on his personal life from what he talked about in class.

He does give extra credit you get the grade you work for but he will assist you especially when he sees you trying.

He's a hard grader he definitely nows what he's talking about. But he expects you to already know alot of things. Failed all of his exams.

Comment:

its tough to describe this guy. Great professional, incredibly knowledgeable, but half the class was consumed by rants about technology in schools and student motivation. All good stuff, but should have been in a UNIV 1000 class. Learned a lot but had to wade through his speeches. He also talks a lot about race. be prepared. it gets uncomfortable.

His teaching skills are incredible. The class is even interesting. It is just the work and the tests. I encourage you to do as much extra credit that you possibly can, do the articles and study for the tests !!

Comment:

I could not rate this teacher as EASY because his grading was all over the place and he would not respond to emails. This was an online class. He expects maps and graph to be entered into your paper but doesn't give guideline on how many and it you don't cite the book as a reference he takes off points. The BOOK was USELESS outdated and HORRIBLE.

Took him for an online course. I wasn't even a student at TSU. He didn't grade tests and accused me of cheating. I tried to get my school to do something about it. I hope they fire him.
