Comment:

Throughout the whole semester Professor Ward only graded a single thing (out of many) and I assumed I was doing well in the class. Despite being one of the only students to regularly participate and actually read the books, he slapped a B on my transcript after- the worst grade I've ever recieved in my entire college career. Screwed w my GPA.

Comment:

I loved Grant throughout the whole semsater. It kind of pissed me off he didn't enter in a single grade to canvas the entire semester but I assumed I was doing well because the class was EASY. then he slapped a B on my transcript after class was over and dropped my GPA from a 4.0 to a 3.6 from a GEN ED. Only if he had been giving me grades....

Comment:

Super nice and friendly from the beginning. However, due to his age, he can be a bit clueless in terms of technology and not post assignment prompts until a day before they're due. Lots of quizzes (about weekly) and a couple of papers, but nothing too bad.

Comment:

Ward is such a sweet man. His class is easy and the books we have to read weren't bad you can spark note most of them but I found most of them weren't bad to read. Mostly just book discussion in class quiz's here and there sometimes in class or take home. He drops 4. He has a take home midterm, a final and two papers. Would definitely recommend.

Honestly Dr. Ward is one of my favorite professors at temple. He's very laid back just pay attention to his review of the books and you'll be fine.

Great professor! He really clarifys what we have read and keeps the class interesting. He is a tough grader so I would make sure to try harder. His midterm was take home and we get quizzes about once a week maybe less. Overall he is a great guy and I would take him again!

Comment:

Not a hard class. You got a mid term and final both take home. And two reflection papers. And pop quizzes once a week so must come to class. You need to read all the books. Some of the books are boring. Put a little effort and you will pass with B.

he is super nice and would grant you an extension for some of the assignments if you are caught up on your work. The only down side of him is that he is a bit of a harsh grader, but it is super easy to get a B+ or an A-. you would have to work for an A, but overall i would recommend him

Comment:

Ward's a nice guy, but his lectures are kind of boring. I just wasn't really interested in the books he assigned. He likes a lot of military-focused stuff. The assignments weren't bad, just two short reflection papers, and the midterm and final are both take-home. You just have to analyze quotes from stuff we read. Pretty easy.

Comment:

Dr. Ward is probably the nicest professor ever. He gives about 10 quizzes but drops the lowest 3 scores. We had two short reflection papers, a midterm and a final which was a 7-8 page paper. He can be a tough grader. We got out of class early pretty much every time which was nice. I would probably take him again.

Comment:

Took Dr. Ward for both Mosaics 1 & 2 and I'm sad I won't have the chance to have him again. Although I normally don't like english his lectures are enjoyable. There are quite a few quizzes but they're easy & he drops a few of lowest. He's gives interesting topics for papers but he's somewhat of a tough grader. Hands down my favorite prof at Temple

Comment:

He is such a kind person. When no one would raise their hand, he would move on rather than force people to answer. He canceled class a lot. There were a lot of quizzes but a lot were take home. He brought up a lot of interesting ideas which made going to his class enjoyable for me even though I'm usually not good at or interested in english.

Comment:

Really nice guy, however he gives many quizzes unannounced, so it's impossible to try to skip if you wanted to. Also, he assigns too much reading within a short time. Leads most class discussions if no one talks. Lastly, he doesn't update grades so it's hard to tell what you have in the class.

Comment:

Really nice guy- he basically does most of the talking the entire class. I honestly never really read any of the material so I failed most of the quizzes (he gives one about every week). But the grade is mostly based on the 3 essays. He's not too keen on the feedback or even clarity of the material though. Oh- and he also doesn't check e-mail.

Very kind man. Extremely willing to help, and a master at creating interesting discussions. Even if the class didn't always have much to contribute he'd keep things moving. Tough grader but allows rewrite of the first paper. There were a few one page quizzes/essays from time to time but they weren't too hard and he isn't as tough on those.

Great teacher. Taught the class with interesting facts here and there. Funny at times. One thing about his class is that he is a TOUGH grader. Let's you rewrite the first paper. He is wiling to help at all times, even gave his personal home and cell number if anyone needed help.

Extremely passionate about teaching mosaics. He teaches class well and its never boring. Really makes you think and evaluate ideas. He's pretty funny too. He is a pretty strict about grading papers but allows you to rewrite the first paper. Would take him again.

Excellent professor! He is incredibly passionate about the subject. Expect to take the essays seriously because he is tough grader even though he gives a rewrite for the 1st essay.
