Comment:

He isn't awful, his lectures are just very very heavy. I take really good notes during every class but still am confused. He can be a little rude, especially to students who ask questions in class. He is kinda funny tho.

Comment:

On the first day of class Dr. King assured the entire class that his "Rate my Professor scores weren't entirely accurate". I tried my absolute hardest throughout this class yet all I got in return were 50's on all of my exams. His lecture does not reflect the exam material and his lack of other grades makes it nearly impossible to pass! STAY AWAY

Comment:

Absolute worst teacher ever I have ever had. I am not writing this out of anger because I did get a 91 in the class but i'm warning everyone to not take him. His attendance policy is after you miss 1 class you get 2 points taken off FINAL grade, even if you had an excuse note. His lectures in class are extremely boring and confusing. DONT TAKE!

Comment:

He cannot teach. He jumps around in his lectures. Goes too fast. His examples barely make sense. His video lectures do not help. One on one he is rude and arrogant. He is amused when you don't understand something. So far, overall class average is 50%. He likes to remind you that he "wrote the book" and tells you to ignore his bad reviews LOL RUN!!

Comment:

Awful class do not take if you want to pass. Dr. King is all over the place in his teaching. His tests and homework are almost impossible and it is impossible to get help from anyone other than him because he writes his own curriculum. Not cut out to teach at Georgia Southern.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HIM!! He has to be the worst professor on campus. His examples in class are not the same as on the tests. He also moves fast through everything expecting you to know it. Every test we've took has had a failing average. Just do yourself a favor and do not do it

Comment:

I would not recommend Professor King . Passing his class seems so impossible. I dropped it after the second test along with 10 other people. He expects you to know the material & he is rude especially if you ask a question he feels as if you shouldve know. DONT TAKE HIM!

Comment:

He is NOT a good professor. He doesn't explain the material correctly and expects you to be able to follow along with every step. I would never, ever take any of his classes again. for the first test, the class average was a 45% no one got anything over a 75%. Majority of the class is going to the Dean to complain.

Comment:

His microeconomics course at GSU, which should not be anywhere near as difficult as his lectures make it. Lots of contradictions between what I read in text and his notes. His class honestly makes me wish the semi truck that put me out the previous semester when I was taking it under a "much" better instructor, had just done me in period.

Comment:

Dr. King is one of the worst professors I have ever taken at Georgia Southern. He goes extremely fast and he knows he teaches a very difficult class yet does not care to assist students even when you go to his office hours and beg for help, quite often he thinks its funny when you show that you're struggling because he gets it so easily. Don't take

Comment:

I studied at least one our a day for this class. 2 during tests weeks. I made a 69.9 and he wouldn't round to a C. So I made a D which is failing for COBA majors. I retook it with Dr. Ressler, Studied the same amount and made an A without the curve Also in each class, I only missed 1 day

I took his class in person, it was an awful experience My friend took him online, also awful experience Another friend took him despite both of our warnings. He regretted it immediately. He also posts a test grade the day after the drop date, so you don't know if you should stay or not

Comment:

This is the Worst professor currently walking on campus. It's as if he finds pleasure in seeing students fail. Asking him questions or going to office hours is pointless as he just continues to trash on how he shouldn't have to explain the concept again.

Comment:

One of the worst professors I've ever had if not THE worst. He takes his class as a challenge to fail you. He does use the book but has the pages needed online. He's quite confident in himself, so he speeds through all of the notes, thinking students will learn just as easily as he gets it. He doesn't teach, he just expects you to get it. DONT TAKE

Comment:

This is the worst professor I have ever had, I would never take him. He doesn't teach the material slowly or in an understanding matter. You are better off taking Dr. Brown & I recommend taking this (his-Dr. Brown) class in the summer. I failed Dr. King, the first time I have ever failed a class in college. If at all possible, DO NOT TAKE HIM!

The WORST professor I had ever had these past 3 years. I'm taking him right now and his tests are insane! All of the questions are extremely hard. I'm probably going to get a D and had never had a D in college

One of the worst professors I have ever had. Does not know how to teach one bit. Hardly explains anything but you HAVE to understand the material to do the homework and tests. Homework is super hard and test are next to IMPOSSIBLE.

Comment:

I loved this professor! He is the reason I changed my major to economics. It is not an easy class and you will have to work. Homework isn't bad, he just assigns it often. You must go to class or he takes points of your final grade. For tests, watch the audio lectures and study the HW and you'll pass!
