Grade: Drop/Withdrawal
Oct 24, 2024

I had to leave his class. Dr. Ebo's a nice guy, but his lectures make zero sense. He goes off topic very frequently throughout the class. He never responds to emails, he has trick questions on quizzes that could go both ways, and it's nearly impossible to get an "A" on an assignment, unless you write absurdly long answers to each assigned question.

Sometimes it's hard to understand him because of his accent, and often times he'll completely derail whatever tangent he was on just to go on a different one. There are many tests (all taken online), most have 100+ questions. A lot of the questions are true/false, and he makes some false just by adding "not" and not even changing the format of it.

Would take again

He gives a lot of homework which is normally very long. Also there is normally a test most Fridays which has over 100 questions. He lectures the whole class and sometimes it gets boring. For the homework, you have to give it your all and more or else its "too short". He's a nice guy and he has a thick accent so, good luck!

Professor Ebo is kind and extremely smart at what he does, however his COM 105 (Communication, Culture, and Media) was NOT a class I would take again. Every week, we'd have an online exam that averaged 105 questions, homework (that felt like busy work) with inaccurate grading policies, and lectures that were not engaging at all.

Professor Ebo is kind and passionate about what he does, however the class was not enjoyable at all. Weekly tests with about 105 questions, homework that felt like busy work, and lectures that were not engaging at all. The grading policy is very confusing, as many students didn't understand his reasoning at all even after an explanation.

Nov 20, 2025

Dr. Ebo's COM105 class isn't very hard in itself; however, the work is EXTREMELY tedious and time-consuming. For example, the tests are all open-note, online, and include word-for-word answers, BUT they are all about 100-200 questions long (or more). He is also a tough grader- he will rarely give 100s regardless of how amazing the work could be.
