Poor messaging, arrogant demeanor, seemed to have a few in the class he was catering to, the rest of us were there to watch. This guy is brutal.

Comment:
This class is only as hard as you make it. If you buy into what he is saying and keep an open mind you will learn. the only reason people hate this class is because they think they already have it all figured out, there is still much to learn at this point in your degree. the methods are not impractical, it's not what you've seen and experienced.

Comment:
Worst professor I have ever had. Hopelessly subjective expectations for this poorly planned class. Lectures consist of aimless, passive-aggressive rambling that leads to zero learning. Very disrespectful, childish even. Constantly interrupts students and has no concept of how to avoid startling and harassing them. This class should be discontinued.

This class gave me a great deal of anxiety and it was overwhelming. He is very disrespectful and plays favorites. Choose another professor for this class.

Comment:
I absolutely DREAD going to his class! He's boring, he keeps you the entire time, doesn't clarify, just an overall bad teacher!Granted, he gives information that will help you as a teacher, but my suggestion is to get another teacher. They will give the same info, but in a better way.

Comment:
McGuire is completely out of touch with the real world. Current classroom teachers even laugh at the way he wants us to teach. Plays favorites with students and makes life difficult for those who don't march to his beat.

Do not take this man's class unless you bow to the gods of rubrics. It was not an enjoyable semester thanks to him.
