Comment:

He is not a bad professor, but old school. He does not put any grades on blackboard. He is a fair grader and gives useful feedback. That being said, he is not the best at answering questions. The final is the only exam and he does not give a review sheet. His class is very long/boring, but in my opinion it's all necessary for education.

If you are someone who does not like vague guidelines and prefer specific directions for writing papers, I would not recommend. His instructions for assignments can seem pretty vague, which leaves a lot of room for you to personalize your work. This being said, he does not grade very strictly. There is only one exam the entire semester (final).

Comment:

He gives you time to do homework, but isn't very clear about what his expectations are. Whenever you ask for help he will tell you to look at the syllabus and will never fully answer the question you asked. His lectures seem like they last forever and his voice is very monotone. The class is not very interesting and seems kind of scattered.

I don't know why he's getting such harsh feedback. He's a great educator. If he is tough, it is because he is preparing you to teach in a classroom. I don't want the teachers of our youth to be dumb dumbs so I'm glad this ISN'T an easy A class.

Comment:

The worst professor I have ever had. I still can't figure out why, but he uses a microphone in a class of 25 students. Tough grader and discourages students from pursuing careers in the field of education. If you think you're going to pass the final, you're not. He will even let you know no one has passed his final, too. Stay away if possible!

Comment:

This is the worst and most pointless class I've ever taken. Means is terrible and he makes people drop out of the program because they're afraid of becoming like him someday. All of his information is out of date and pointless. His grading is unfair and there is no structure or information on how assignments should be done. Tests are a joke.

Comment:

I thought that this course would be easy based on the syllabus. Though there wasn't as much homework as I expected, Means barely provided any clarification for the homework and also graded opinionated papers not based on given criteria but comparatively to other students. It may be an easy A, but it's not worth the headache!

Comment:

He knows a lot, but a lot of the things talked about in class are not needed and not up to date. There are a lot of assignments done on the computer on different sites, and they are confusing at times. He's a very friendly and grades on a huge scale. As long as you do all the work, you will do fine in his class, though, try to avoid taking it.

Overall, Means is a pretty good professor. He knows his stuff and is willing to help you anytime you need it. His classes are pretty "boring," but if you do the assignments and look like you want to be there you will do fine!

Everyone complains way more than they should. He may drone on but it's about important stuff you need to know. His instructions are NOT super vague, he has a 15 page document with every assignment and how you need to do them. Follow that and get all As. Page length doesn't matter, just say what you feel and show your knowledge, you'll be fine.

Ambiguous on instructions. When asked specific questions on assignments, didn't answer them. I had a hard time understanding what was expected of me in the class. Not the worst but certainly not the best.

Means, in my opinion, is not as bad as everyone says. Although he is very vague on his instructions and the class tends to become boring because he gets off topic easily and talks so slow he really is a fairly easy grader and if you email him he gets back to you in a timely manner. Take the class 1 timer a week appose to 2, trust me!!

I made the mistake of not using ratemyprofessor before this class. Now I will NEVER sign up for a class before checking this website. He is absolutely horrible! He is a great example, however, of what kind of teacher I do NOT want to become. At least he's a bit inspirational in that way. Avoid like the plague!!!

Means is horrible! I showed up to his class every week hoping to learn something, but he just droned on for hours. His assignments were unclear as to his expectations and whenever I would ask for feedback to improve my work, he could never give me any because he has no clue what he is doing!

I would recommend this class. Work load is not terrible and he's an easy grader on assignments. Midterm is essay form. Final was impossible but he scales the test majorly so don't stress over the final. Pay attention in class because he will notice people who don't look like they want to be there. Attendance is mandatory.

I like means, just contribute and FOLLOW the rules. If you do that he'll be very kind to you, no cellphones/quiet when he's talking/participate. I didn't crack the text book, but did the assignments and everything was fine. He was even flexible with due dates and always got back to my e-mails and questions quickly, I really liked him.
