Comment:
He is very responsive to emails which is great. He does not prepare you for the exam. Students are forced to study everything. We were required to read journal articles that were no use for the final exam. His written questions are vague to a fault and confusing. For an exam worth 50%, he should be more forthcoming for exam content. Frustrating!!!

Great prof! Very straightforward, so insightful and is always willing to look over things and provide feedback. He has an insane amount of readings required for each class, but they're all high quality readings. He's very structured in class and allots specific time for discussions. Funny guy and definitely someone you can learn from!

Took online and found it more easy than hard. His audio lectures and slides are horrible and useless so do readings!! Weekly postings are a MUST, MCQ are super easy, midterm was MCQ and SA, final had two of the weekly posting questions and MCQ. Overall, his tests are fair if you do readings! Doesn't tell you what to study so study everything.

Comment:
Took his class online. His exams are super easy but he requires you to know WAYYYYY TOOO MUCHH material. Make sure to read the textbook, watch his online lectures and read the articles he assigns. Each of these talks about something different and they ALL get tested. He also puts a few of the participation discussion questions on the final.

I took online class 3410 in the Fall. The slides was useless, mid-term and final MC is difficult. He did not give your e-mail feedback. He did not clearly indicate his requirements in exam, so lead student lost mark. For my opinion, do not choose this professor.

I took the online class & he rarely answered Q's on the website. Way too much material covered & exams worth too much.Exam Q's were irrelevant, an M/C Q would ask something like 'how many steps are there in X's theory?'-who cares? Considering how much the class focuses on adult learning principals -you'd think he'd know how to APPLY them.

Comment:
I studied very hard and did very badly on the exam. there are only 2 exams (40 and 60%). He will try to avoid meeting with you for extra help. if he tells you that the exam only covers certain chapters, don't be fooled! read the whole book. he picks out at least a few questions that are in the "uncovered" chapters.

One of the best Professors I've ever had. A down to earth guy who takes interest in his class, his students and the subject. One of the only guys I've ever met who could turn a dry subject into something interesting.
