Comment:

Definitely would not take again. It was an elective but it was very difficult. Only based off of 3 exams and 1 paper. We have written approximately 10,000 words. The final exam was 3900. The paper was 1,500 words. It was a lot. He is very slow with grading and not great at responses. He seems nice, the class is just too much.

Comment:

Have had him twice. Really great in class, gives good lectures, and prepares you very well for quizzes and exams. However, super inaccessible outside of class. Hardly responds to emails, and if he does, not in a timely manner. Also VERY slow to post grades. Really frustrating to take during the online month of COVID-19, but normally bearable.

I've had Jeff a few times. He's a great professor and I enjoy his lectures. Beware of unexpected quizzes. He only grades on a few quizzes and midterm/final.

Comment:

Professor Horners class is extremely lecture heavy! But dont worry. He uses Echo360 so you can always access recordings on canvas. However, You are only given 4 assignments that include 3 written exams and an essay. Throughout lecture i noticed that he rambles off topic a lot and is slightly condescending at tones. maybe he doesnt notice?

This professor is terrible does not post materials on time. Does not grade essays in a timely manner. Expects you to listen to badly recorded lectures. It is mainly endless papers however he relies too much on unicheck and doesn't do any grading by himself.

Comment:

With only three exams and no other assignments this class was not hard, however, this professor made it the most frustrating class I have taken at WSU. He relies too much on unicheck; I am used to writing longer papers but he has insane essay requirements like ten pages and no resources can be used. He does not post lecture material on time

Comment:

Worst professor ever! Does not post stuff on time, his recordings are a pain to listen to. Takes forever to grade an exam. Accused me of plagiarising on the essay based exam and failed me entirely. Save your money and time. I have never failed a class before or been accused of plagiarising.

Comment:

The worst professor at Wayne State. Save your time and money! Online class with three exams only. He expects you to buy his expensive book and listen to his miserable recorded lectures. The exams have to be like 4000 words where if he finds one sentence that unicheck marks as plagiarized he will fail you. This class ruined my 4.0 and delay graduati

You don't take Professor Horner, he takes you. I learned more in his classes than in all my other ones. Very enthusiastic and entertaining,, highly recommended.

Comment:

Laughable at how late he would post materials needed to prepare for exams (not just study guides but actual readings or course material) and always had a condescending attitude when approached about it. Wayne state can do better, there are better professors out there. I'm pissed I wasted so much money on this class.

Comment:

There is only 3 exams, which are difficult but he grades very tough. He tends to be more lenient if you go to class and participate, which I didn't. Very lecture heavy and boring, he often gets distracted. The class was harder than it needed to be, I was actually interested in urban studies before taking him.

Comment:

You'll either love his class or not. He's clear up front that your grade will come from only 3 exams. Attendance isn't required. He gives you 20 questions a week before each exam, and then 8 of them are on the test. If you can't manage your time well, it'll be very hard. Lectures are on Echo. He's a good lecturer, but sometimes goes on tangents

He tends to wait till the last minute or completely forgets to upload the necessary information to help with the tests. There are only 3 tests and that's it. SLOW to grade.

Comment:

Seems to be overall a good professor. The class was online and based out of only 3 exams. The exams were not timed and all of the answers can be found through powerpoints/ readings. The class didn't seem too stressful just be prepared to read a lot. He also makes you buy his book that he wrote. Very lenient and gave us extensions on our exams!

Worst Professor I have ever had, grade is based only on 3 exams. Often gets off topic in class and takes forever to get to the points you need to know for test.

Comment:

Prof Horner is a bit dry in the lecture dept but I was happy that he provides his lecture in various ways so that you can learn and study in a way that suits you (text lecture, powerpoint, and audio). Reading is a little heavy at first but then lightens up. Would take online again.

Comment:

If you're taking his online class, do your self a favor and at least familiarize yourself with the material. He's not gonna give you feedback and the grading makes no sense. The tests revolved around the reading or power points. Kinda like a scavenger hunt, annoying. I really thought I was gonna fail, but guess not. My grade was up in the air.

This class was so disorganized it was difficult to succeed. Horner was late in posting just about everything, and only taught us by making us rewatch his old lectures. I would not recommend this professor

Comment:

Syllabus states attendance isn't necessary but he'll make you pay if you don't attend. Your grade is based on 3 essay exams. You'll get over 25 potential questions and you'll only see 5-9 on exams. If you don't answer questions the way he wants or if you don't come to class, you won't do well. He's condescending, boring or both during lectures.

Comment:

Jeff Horner will put you to sleep. He spends 20 minutes on each slide while rambling off personal anecdotes, then rushes through the last 8 slides in 15 minutes. This is a weekly occurrence,. The entire class is lectures, reading a dry text book, and three exams. He gives you the exam questions a week ahead, thankfully.
