Comment:

The most unhelpful online teacher I have ever had to deal with! He doesn't explain anything and responds in word answers or images. It makes doing the work harder when the teacher doesn't want to be more helpful. I don't know why he's teaching. If he's not going to be more helpful to his students, then he needs to find another profession.

Comment:

This professor is a screenshot of what he already had on the site. A lot of reading. Once you do the weekly classwork which seemed overwhelming at first. His project and diet analysis are easy. prepare to be self sufficient or you won't pass. I did all my work & submitted them on time because he is not friendly he is like a robot with no human bone

Comment:

Do not take a class with this professor. He gives very short answers to your questions, only via email. He will copy, paste and highlight parts of the syllabus in response to your questions. He is very hands off and impersonal. I felt like I really had no guidance, other than myself to figure things out.

Comment:

Do not take . I had to repeat this course for a better grade I order to transfer in to a 4 year College. I had all the previous assignments and what does this guy do? Changes the book out of spite & required Mind Tap. I called him to only get email in response. Refused to meet face to face to discuss my needed a B or better in order to transfer.

Comment:

Worst online class ever! OK I had a few problems this semester and wanted to meet face to face with this guy, no luck! Why did I have to go to campus to take exams in a online class? Calls go straight to voice mail and he emails the next day . Poor customer service, not flexible at all. Acts as if the class syllabus is actually written in stone.

DO NOT TAKE ONLINE. He takes forever to read emails. Read the chapter at least twice. A few of my points were not added up correctly. No extra credit at all. Everytime I needed my question answered he would not contact me back nor did he further explain.

Took the class online. . Responds to emails but does not answer his phone- goes to voice mail. I called 8 times in one day only to get a email saying no! He would not meet with me to discuss a personal issue I was having that was bringing my grades down . I guess he has stopped giving extra credit. I needed an A but he gave me a C.

Comment:

No extra credit whatsoever. Absurd 12 PM deadlines on all assignments. Class was easy at first but his stern and strict personalityteaching style started to show as time went on. Didn't really have time study all the time, on account of another class, my home life, and work. I just praise Christ above that I passed his class. I took my C proudly.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE ONLINE. I came here to review him before this semester, and the majority seemed to like him, So I went ahead and took it. Very unresponsive. He responds when HE feels like your question is relevant enough to respond. When he DOES respond, it's very vague. 3-5 words, no more. It's like he's never present- SO FRUSTRATING.

Never able to speak on the phone but email was returned. Wanted to meet face to face to explan a problem and he was unresponsive. Extra credit saved me. Do the diet analysis - easy 90 points.

Great online class.. I took this class while at university in PA and it was great! I contacted him as soon as I registered for class and he was able to send all the passwords to my testing center. I def recommend. As long as you study and do all of the quizzes and extra credit you will get at least a C/B or A for the extra time spent!

Do NOT take this class online during summer. Saver yourself the headache! Unresponsive to emails, and you cannot take the testing center exams at another institution despite what he says. You have to go to pgcc testing center to complete his 5 exams.Also he counts answers wrong if you mispell one word. even if it is correct as far as content.

Comment:

I've never personally met him, as my nutrition class is online. However, this was one of the EASIEST courses I've EVER taken online. The professor simply posted our assignments, posted any necessary powerpoints/lecture notes that went with them and that was it! WE were responsible for the work. Choose HIS course. You won't regret it. :)
