Comment:
I took this class and did well, simply because I kept quit. This professor's grading is arbitrary and very prejudiced. This class was boring like hell. Everyone kept asking how did this guy get his doctorate and how he became a president of a college. If he doesn't like you for one reason or another, you would get the worst grade. Avoid this guy!!

This guy shouldn't be teaching!! I had professors who can explain difficult things with simpler language. They know how to simplify the concepts and convey ideas. This guy makes the subject boring and difficult. He makes things more complicated than they are. If you challenge him, you will get C or worse.

It's been a few years since I took his "class" but, I remember it well. This guy is not professor or president material; he didnt know anything. Im surprised that FMU hasnt fired him. They should before he ruins the school. Half of the students have transferred to Costal Carolina–like me! And building another new multimillion$ building wont help.

This instructor is from a strange planet! Dr. Carter should invest some time learning to teach. Also, it would help to read the textbook, which I don't think he knows. Instead he works very hard to sell himself as sweet. Watch for cavities! His class is boring like hell.

Dr. Carter is a wonderful professor who writes great letters of recommendation for graduate school. My only complaint is that he doesn't teach many courses. Take him if you get the chance.

I came to this class with so much enthusiasm, by the end I couldn't stand it. I ended up with an A, but I don't think I will ever forget those hours of boredom. Dr. Carter appears very sweet, but I don't think he is.

Dr. Carter is so cool. He can be really funny when he gets worked up. His tests are not extremely hard, but they're not very easy. He lectures a lot, but the good news is that you can get out of class early. I had class at 8:30 and we rarely stayed until 9:45. We were usually out of there 20-25 minutes ahead of time. I would recommend taking him!

Comment:
The Public Admin. class is difficult bc it covers tons of info. and its hard 2 know what 2 study 4 on tests. However, he grades fairly and seems 2 look for ways 2 give u points. However, a 10pg. paper is due the last day of class-ugh.But if u take his 8am class, he gives u cans of Pepsi etc-cool.

Dr. Carter is really sweet. His tests are tough because a lot of information is covered and you don't know exactly what to study for. If you take notes you should be fine. But overall,he is just so nice that it makes the class enjoyable.

Dr. Carter was the coolest professor I ever had at Francis Marion so far.The good news: you may get to have class in the president's board room. The bad news: he only gives two tests (final and mditerm) so you have to study your butt off for those two.

Dr. Carter is a great teacher. He is really funny, and I think it's great that the president actually teaches classes. I thoroughly enjoyed his class. He adds lots of humorous anecdotes to illustrate his points. Take his class!
