Comment:
I took this class 3 years ago (his last term at OU). He is demanding and exact about what is required in the papers. He wants you to research thoroughly, write concisely, even think critically. Does not like 'fluff.' Do not expect to slide through any of his classes.

Comment:
Well, John can be funny at times, i feel that for a 102 class he expects much. If you are a hard worker and attend class you will be fine. Laid back style of teaching. I recommend him. Kind-hearted and he loves when students take interest in his class.

Comment:
John is a compete fruitloop. He never knows what he assigned and expects you to have assignments he never said one word about. His grading is worthless as well. I got a paper back and he gave it a 3.2. Two weeks later I get the same exact paper pack and he gave it a 3.8. Do not take his class.

Comment:
Waste of my life. I wish I read this site before because all the bad reviews are actually good because they perfectly described him. HE IS A HORRIBLE TEACHER. He emails constantly & can't remember what he assigns. Didn't even know how to use moodle. He needs to retire. I dropped his class and I'm glad I did. No regrets besides choosing his class.

Comment:
This guy is horrible. I took the class partially online and he's very email happy. He doesn't know what's going on or what he assigned unless it's online. Our days in class consist of us sitting in silence and him saying the same thing he said the previous week. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT take this class if you need a 3.0 or higher.

honestly i don't know why there are so many bad reviews on john. he was extremely helpful when i had him, and he wanted everyone in his class to succeed. if given the chance, i would take another class that he teaches again.

Comment:
His guidebook tells you everything and it is a bible to making it through the class. The extra credit is easy and he doesn't grade it very strictly and gives you points no matter how good or bad it is. He grades the same way every time. On the final paper, he's really strict about the works cited.

Comment:
This guy is ridiculous. All these comments are true actually I started reading through them mid semester when I had him and I found them all funny and very much true. I wish I had only looked up my teachers while i was at freshmen orientation. I'm very easy going and i get a long well with all teachers this guy was just a league of his own.

Very sensitive, he rather you write on his prefrences than grammer rules and you will never learn all of his prefrences. He is very difficult if you want to learn how to deal with difficult people he is your man if not stay away far away. If you have him for a class pay mor attention to your presentation not grammer you will never get it correct!

I thought "well, there are some ppl who liked him, so he cant be that bad" WRONG. The man is a HORRIBLE prof, clueless, and delusional in his beliefs. I dont understand how ANYONE could like that class. I'm laid back and easygoing and I do my work, and i HATED it. THE MAN IS A MONSTER. HE CANNOT TEACH OR GRADE. STAY. AWAY. AT. ALL. COSTS!!!!!!!!!

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Consider that your warning. Unless you are a die hard socialist vegan, he WILL mark you down for your beliefs, even tho he says he won't. Boring, painfully slow, assignments change constantly, completely subjective grading, he blows up your e-mail inbox. I dont care if he's the last prof and u have to take 160, DO NOT do it!

Friends don't let friends take John Simicek. Boring to NO END. I slept thru most of his classes and still caught everything, he moves so slow... Attendance is mandatory as well. The assignments often change, if you dont write from his point of view, you'll get docked points (he'll tell you otherwise tho) Just dont take his class, pure n simple.
