He is a arrogant little man and is does not treat "ALL" students fairly. He was definitely the worst part of my graduate experience at Texas A&M (Commerce).

Dr. Travis seems to enjoy himself lecturing regardless if the students follow with his lecture. He cares about grading hard and does not encourage students.

Comment:

For the Higher Ed and Law class, Dr. Travis focuses on understanding how to reference the cases and the implications he draws from them. In many instances, his implications are taken directly from the text of the case review involved. He is precise so language matters. Not reading all the cases each week is a huge mistake.

Comment:

Dr. Travis gives a very detailed syllabus that is a great help and he sticks to it, too. I liked that and that I could ask him questions after class and he answered them without treating me like I am stupid for asking, which some instructors do. If you've been in graduate school for a while, you know he is a better instructor than many others are.

Comment:

Still uses an overhead projector. Needs to update his lecture. I suspect he is using the same "Overheads" he used two decades ago. He is very biased in his views regarding qualitative vs quantitative research. This class was a necessary evil.

Comment:

Yes he does know his subject matter and he does like to talk about his accolades. He has his favorite students and he likes to tell you when your wrong and why he's right. If you ever get on his bad side you can never get off it. Also if you have anything to do with athletics, kinesiology, health, or physical education good luck. He is one of th

Very knowledgeable. However, he tends to go on, and on, and on, about the same thing! He loves to hear himself lecture and enjoys to hear himself talk about his accolades. He teaches educators how to teach yet does everything in class he says not to do.

When it comes to SHED courses, he is thorough and in touch with the new trends in higher education. Although he lectures most of the time, he has a broad knowledge of the topic. I believe he is a "guru" in his field and deserves much respect.

He is arrogant and thinks he is God to education. He needs to really realize that a PH.D means Piled High Deep.
