Comment:

Beware of the reviews, I did not take them serious! I am over halfway into his summer class and he has not graded ONE thing. I reach out to him, he's rude and arrogant. He's awful, take this class at UNF or take it with another professor. I am an A + student and assume I will make an A but he is NOT worth the stress of him not grading and rudeness.

I believe the professor has improved on grading,and interaction from previous complaints seen . Grading,and feedback on assignments were standard to most professors a week to two after assignment due. Disc. board post he wants mini. of 3 with responses to those who respond to you.(interaction is key)4 worksheets,research prop, final paper.

Comment:

Every class he just clicks through slides and barely explains the information on the slides. There are 4-5 test. The test have multiple sections, very long. If you arent a good test taker you wont pass. Requires a lot of studying and learning on your own. Rarely takes attendance.

Comment:

Took Mr. Stittsworth for numerous online classes because I had no other option. He grades everything late! So you cant estimate your final grade until the class is officially OVER. If you misunderstand/miscalculate anything he wont give you mercy. Must do EXACTLY what/when he says in order to receive an A. Don't take him as a full time student!

Comment:

Reads powerpoint word/word. Something you can do at home. Reading powerpoints is not teaching. Alot of busy work. He does give you study guide for exams, all you have to do is go through the practice package & fill in blanks. Again you are teaching yourself. He doesnt care about labs. First 2 test are done solo, 3rd open book. 4th is group exam

Comment:

His class wasn't too tough. If you do the assignments and study the handouts online then you should be okay. He allowed us to use note on one test and we could work with a group for another. 4 exams, 16 assignments -10- 25 questions, 12-13 quizzes- 30 questions. He also allows us to retake an exam or take it home for test corrections and get a C

Hybrid class, not a single lab taught, waited until last minute to grade all assignments. Syllabus is not correct. Very sarcastic. Offered extra credit work. Tough exams, study hard.

Comment:

Stittsworth is a hard professor, not gonna lie. If you show up to the lectures and labs, do your homework, and study for the tests (which are extremely difficult at times), you should be okay. He's sarcastic, moves pretty quickly, and expects you to learn it all in time for the tests (there's no more than a 2 week interval between exams).

Comment:

The most aggravating professor I've had so far in my college career. I took his course online, so that's my bad, but I literally had 2 grades the entire semester. The grade book was blank minus those two grades until after the final grade was posted. There was a lot of work that was explained well, I just never got feedback. Will not take again.

Comment:

He used to be a great prof but now just goes on hour long tangents. He doesnt grade, never gives any guidelines or a clear syllabus, ignores student emails. Cusses in class and belittles students. Im honestly not sure how hes still allowed to work. Online is easy, in person he takes it personal and gives whatever grade he feels you deserve.

Comment:

Reads strait off power points. And when you ask him to slow down he states they're on blackboard and should already know the info. Overly sarcastic and not in a good way. When you ask questions he makes you feel stupid for asking them. Isn't clear about anything. Doesn't follow syllabus. Gives random tests. Constantly leaves the class for lunch.

Comment:

If you plan on a career in the health field don't take Professor Stittsworth. He's so unclear on his homework, work, and exams. He grades work late so there's no room to fix your grade. He's constantly flip flopping on what he wants you to know. Just so yourself a favor and don't take his class.

Slow to grade. I have take 2 classes with him only because he was the only one teaching. Gives feedback late because he grades slow causing missed points on other assignments. Easy grade.

Great professor! Really knows his stuff! Very helpful, lots of good advice. He expects a lot, but if you put in the work, you'll learn a lot. His class is what college should really be like.

Comment:

I took him for A&P1 last minute after being out of college for 6 years on a whim because I'm ready for a change. Class is easy if you do what your suppsed to do. There is a lot to take in and I'm glad this was the only class that I took, but I'm proud to say I have an A. I'm taking A&P2 with him this summer.
