Super easy A. Read the articles and powerpoints when they're assigned, then re-read them before the tests and you'll be fine. His tests are open note and web, so you can google things you can't remember. I highly suggest making a groupme with everyone in the class and you'll all thrive.

Comment:

This class has no textbook. All of the test material comes from online articles and videos. There's so much information that you don't know what to study. The tests are open web, so that does help a bit, but some of the questions are worded in a way that you don't know where to look. Avoid taking him, if at all possible.

Comment:

Get ready to work in groups!(not fun).This professor does not care if you have teammates that don't participate. You will be responsible no matter what. Lots of reading and group projects of power point presentations with audio. You do a peer review to assess teammates, which again is not helpful because by then your fate is sealed. Good luck

Comment:

This class required a good deal of reading and we were divided in to groups to outline articles and provide video critiques for most of the term. The amount of group work required was a lot and if you end up with a group that didn't understand the material you get stuck with having to do all the work.

This is an easy class if you do the assignments. Everything is online, make sure you check assignments page every day!! If you get behind its hard to catch back up. He is open to questions via any form of media, and he is there to help. Tests are open notes/internet and the final is comprehensive.

Comment:

This class was not difficult. If you read the articles and watch the videos before the test, you will be fine. I would check the assignment page every day, but the tests are every couple weeks so as long as you do it before the test, you will be fine. But the work can kind of pile up. He is a very fair professor who is very responsive to emails.

Comment:

If you read the chapters and take notes the tests are fairly easy. Group work is required. Finding everyone's strengths early on will help make the group work smoother. If you do what is required and put forth effort you will do well in this class.

This class was extremely hard. The tests are online and open web however the questions come from extremely long articles from the web. No book required and he is the only professor that teaches the course.

Test are open book/open internet. Take pic's of the questions of the test to use as a study guide for the final (comprehensive). Have to check in each day to keep up, and no book just an WSJ subscription for 15 weeks.

I took the course in a mini term. I was lost the entire time. No syllabus, he did not use blackboard. Two weeks before the end of the term and still no grades. We used a project simulation that I never was able to understand. This was a poorly instructed class. I dropped.

Comment:

I would recommend taking this class online. It's super easy. He puts everything you need for the tests online, and the tests are open notes/book/web. I hardly ever even looked at the readings and still made A's. If you take the traditional class, it can be boring and attendance is required for a participation grade.

Comment:

I like Mr. Featherstone. He is always trying his hardest to crack jokes in class, although they are lame at times. It is mandatory that you attend class everyday. All we did was watch videos and he'd lecture his powerpoints. All his exams are open web/notes so there is no way you should fail his class. No book is required!

Comment:

One of the easiest teachers I've had at JSU. He lets you use powerpoints,google, or anything you want on the tests. If you don't do well in this class it's your own fault. I mean I have 100 class avg right now.

Comment:

I was scared to take this professor after reading his reviews. However, I found that if you read the articles and listen to his lectures, his tests are straight forward and not bad at all. Main thing is DO THE WORK. Read and Listen to the assignments to know where to find answers. You just can't be lazy in his class.

Comment:

You don't have a choice but to take him unless you decide to go to a different college. He is very intelligent, but lacks common sense, rendering him useless as an instructor. This inability to relate to the students often results in vague, unclear test questions. Just copy and paste all of his assigned articles into one document to pass.

Read the assignments and PAY ATTENTION. If you can do these two simple things you will pass this class. Dr. Feather tells pretty good stories that give insight into the topic and to the tests.

Wish this teacher would assist me in this class and my classmates more. Did not learn anything and grades were decided on day one of class without a test being given in the class until later. He had his picks for A's,B's,C's,D's,F's so just show up for and class and hope he likes you. No assistence in this class. Only teacher teacher this class @JS

Comment:

Grading is totally unfair and will not allow you to view your previous test see what you need to improve for future test. He is not response to answer any questions you have in the class. He hates students to ask for help in this class. Grades are decided from day one and nothing else is grading. Favoritism is only way get a A in this class.
