Comment:
He is completely serious. All the rules he discusses on the first day of class he means. Attendance/tardiness is the downfall for many students as well as his difficult 20 page/source research paper. I did learn how to research well even thought I know I deserved a better grade on my paper. Exams are not impossible, just study hard.

Comment:
Free market capitalism infused with a Rush Limbaugh like mentality and view of the world. Dr. Lowry represents a dying demographic in both mind and body. Stay away from SIU's undergrade Journalism school until this wingnut is gone.

Dr Lowry is smart and he actually expects his students to use their brain. He doesn't talk down to us - he makes us rise up to meet the challenge

I had this professor back in college nine years ago. True, he is hard, but you're going to encounter that a lot in the real world so get use to it now. I liked Dr. Lowry and got and A. I hope he's still teaching at good ol' SIU.

The worst teacher I have ever had at any level. The ONLY thing I learned from Lowry was to avoid career academics with no real world experience.

I owe him a lot. He's the best for Quantitative, certainly better than the other prof. He's not an easy teacher, but he will work with you. If you come to class, study hard, do your homework and do your best, you'll be okay. The negative postings are ridiculous. He's not that bad. I like him both as a person and a professor.

The worst teacher at SIU. The class has nothing to do about advertising, it is basically Lowry leaving in a dream world of "professionalism".

Worst teacher I had ever had. Shows no consideration to his students. Infexible. I learned nothing in his class that I couldn't have learned from just reading the text book.

Not only a good teacher, but a fine person as well. This was the second time I had to take this class (the first time under a professor whom you could not understand and was hard as heck). I NEVER would have made it without Dr. Lowry's interest and help. I am eternally grateful to this fine person, teacher and friend. I EARNED my "B" too.

I think this guy thinks that everyone that steps foot into his class is high. Well at least he thought that of me. Not to mention boaring.

he's really strict about attendance and tardies. when he asks you questions in class find the answer in the book. you're wrong if you don't. He doesn't really help you with your projects either, he just asks open ended questions.

I passed my thesis, I passed the first test w/ the highest score, and got a B on my final, only missed 1 day, and he made me retake. all you have to do in these classes are show up, shut up, use someone elses thesis, and look at old tests.
