Comment:
Dr. Spaulding is a nice man, but he gives lots of work in a short time span. Make sure to stay caught up and always do the work. Nothing has a due date, so it can get confusing, and 12 quizzes must be taken by the end of the semester outside of class. Make sure to do everything he wants, and you should be fine.

Overall he could be worse but just be aware he wont work with you for anything. I missed one class total because I was sick and got zeros for both of the assignments that were due even though they were turned into canvas 2 days before just because I wasnt in class that day because he walked around and checked them instead of looking on canvas.

I can't say enough about Dr. Spaulding! He was very helpful when he saw something we didn't see when he looked at our projects/assignments. He kind of tells you a little bit about a project and let's you go and do your own thing. My advice is to not do his quizzes last minute because they are very difficult. I thoroughly enjoyed his class.

Let me start by saying, overall, the class was okay. I did learn quite a bit, but he is a VERY tough grader, which made it difficult. His instructions are very in depth, but every time I got a grade back, I was shocked at how low it was. Maybe I struggled because I am not an education major.

A weekly assignment is due each week. The assignments aren't difficult, but do require a good bit of time. None of the assignments were pointless. I learned a lot about new technology to use in a future classroom. Chapter test every 2 weeks. Timed and very detailed questions. Must read chapters before attempting the tests. Do the work and get an A.

There is a project due every week and they are very beneficial and fun. The tests are very difficult. They are a huge part of your grade and the assignments aren't worth much. The only thing that I didn't like about this class was how long/difficult the tests were. Pretty easy class, do your assignments on time and make study guides and you're good

This class was really helpful to me; I learned about lots of programs to use in my future classroom! Dr. Spaulding likes to let you figure things out on your own, so his instructions aren't always the clearest, but he'll help you if you ask. For his exams, read the chapters thoroughly; the tests are open-book, but they're very detailed!

Dr. Spaulding made me feel like I was on a team for the NFL because he was always calling us by our last names which I thought was a little unprofessional considering he's teaching us how to teach. However, his class is easy. All you have to do is show up and do the assignments and (try) to make a good grade on the tests because they're hard

The class work is supper easy but don't skip class unless you plan on having a doctors note because he won't let you make up anything. He loves partner work so you'll do a lot of that. Don't look at the power points when studying for tests because that won't help; read every single word in the book or you will fail.

I had this class online. His tests were kind of hard if you didn't study, and they are long. The assignments are easy, if you get confused just ask he will help. He gave feedback on the online assignments on how you did, what he thought, and what to fix(if anything). Overall it was pretty easy online.

He's an okay professor, but he complains about teachers giving out busy work, and that's practically all we did in his class.

I went into this class scared from all of the comments posted on here about how awful he was to his classes. Dr. Spaulding's 311 class was EASY. DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THIS CLASS. He is not the most personable teacher, but the class was a breeze!

This class what not what I thought it was. The teacher didn't seem to care about the online students and if they couldn't get the programs he requested for you to download worked for you are not. Over all I was very unhappy about this class. He did not answer your email questions in a timely manner as to help you with the course work.

Dr. Spaulding is actually a really awesome professor. He is honest which is why some people don't like him, but if he didn't warn his students about what to expect in teaching, he wouldn't be doing his job. He has been one of the most helpful professors I have had. Go to class, do the assignments and you will do fine in this class.

I thought this class was a breeze. I had him in lecture, so I don't know how it is online. My grandmother passed away while I was in this class and he was very approachable and worked with me to get caught up. Easy class, easy A. Not the most beneficial class you will take, just tough it out and get through it.

This class is easy if you complete the work and turn it in on time. The tests are practical but you need to study. You can get something out of his class, if you try. Dr. Spaulding isn't very personable, but he is approachable and he's a reliable professor.

Everyone complains about this class, but it is actually very easy if you do the work. Turn your work in on time, read the book for tests, and show up. If you do that, it should be an easy A. I found this class very interesting and helpful.

It's an easy class. The work isn't beneficial, challenging or worthwhile. You follow unclear instructions that are written in paragraphs. The professor resists answering questions directly and implies the questioner is impaired instead of himself. I'm passionate about teaching, but he's an obstacle that makes me pity students who have to take him
