I loved this class! Bro. Magleby is passionate about teaching and it shows in that he always has excellent lesson plans. He is willing to help if there is a problem. He makes class interesting and helps students to think about education in different ways.
He is a good teacher with his own style of teaching. He is very animated in class and jokes with the students a lot. He really loves the subject and wants to see the students become great teachers. No final exam or quizzes. Keep up the reading and you will be fine. Highly recommended
He is not my favorite.
Amazing man! I loved his class, the hardest thing I've ever done, but he made me want to do the work! Definately take Early field from him!
Bro. Magleby always makes class enjoyable. No tests! Just keep up with the reading and be on time and you will be set!
Ok he is a cool person. but not the class. this has made me not want to be a teacher. i changed my major because of this class. just a pointer if you do take the class, when you do your "captures" make sure to tie them to whatever you learned in the previous class. that's what he expects but never states to anyone.
this class would have been tolerable if brother magelby hadn't been the teacher. if you weren't one of his favorities he treated you like dirt, and i have pretty thick skin. This guy is a jerk.
At first I thought I was going to like this class and teacher but it turned out to be a really bad class. too much reading and he never explained the material very well. never told you what grade you got on your captures and don't know if you are doing ok or not. make sure you ask what your grade is during the semester. always type your captures.
The best education teacher. Very insightful and always willing to help. The only reason you can do poorly is if you don't do the homework. He wants good teachers and so he expects quality work and preparation. He is always open to ideas and new ways of thining. He never put anyone down for their ideas. Not a hard grader.
You should take Edu 200 from him. I looked forward to attending his class. He pulls in information from all sorts of sources to make the class very intresting.
Ok, so these comments have been all over the place. I was not one of his favorite students nor did I enjoy some of the reading, however, it was my favorite class and I always looked forward to my time there. He really makes teaching seem like a great responsibility (which it is!) and he makes the class a lot of fun.Take him if you have the chance.
Amazing teacher. Don't listen to any of the negative comments. If you are lazy and procrastinate, then you will have a hard time, then again, what are you doing in college?!? If you do the work (it's easy!) then you will pass with an A, no problem. This was my favorite class. Bro. Magleby is super nice and fun. Take his class, you will LOVE it!
For military history, he had us reading ALOT. he had some fairly obvious anti military mentality, but at the same time tried to fit in with those of us in the class who were military. don't base your entire opinion of the military on this class, but overall, he was a good teacher.
Amazing! This is what education and learning is all about and he really brings it out. I am so grateful I took this class from him!
He really makes you think. I truly found my foundation for teaching in this class. He really cares about what you think. Great teacher.
This teacher is annoying, the class is annoying, and the homework is annoying. He is really into the idea of changing the world, so he asks questions to "make us think." But really, it's just annoying. He does not offer any solutions of how to change things in a classroom, etc. I dislike this class.
Brother Magleby is a pretty nice guy. His teaching style is different than any teacher I have ever had. He really makes you think for yourself and he knows everyone by name. There is a lot of reading for this class, but if you just do your work you get a good grade. He is a good teacher, always happy and ready to teach. No tests except for final.
He's not the best teacher. Pretty boring and shows no enthusiasm
Brother Magleby was the worst teacher I have ever had. Those who say that he was an easy and good teacher as long as you did your work obviously shared his views. I had different opinions than him and so he graded me a lot harder than he did those who shared his opinions. If you want a good grade, don't think for yourself, write for his benefit.
At first I loved this class. But as the semester progressed, we realized that he was grading us on how we dressed. He doesn't explain anything he expects from you and when he gives you a project or assignment he does not tell you what he expects and when anyone in my class asked him to clarify-he belittled everyone in the class who asked.
This was one of the worst classes I have ever had. I had to force myself to go, only to hear about the SAME THING every single time. He's never clear, super irritating and awkward, and kind of mean. I didn't learn a single thing in his class. I wished that I would have taken Sister Kay.
ED 200 LOVED this class! Loved going each day! Class discussions were great! Homework every class: reading, and usually a one-page assignment. I spent easily 1 1/2 hours on homework each night.For the final, we have two options: respond to a reading in class, the day of OR write a 1000 word cited essay. Plan to take more classes from him!
He is an interesting teacher. Hard to understand what he wants, if you share his views the class is easy, if you aren't an abstract thinker you might struggle. He makes himself available if you need help, but it's still hard to get him. Class discussion are either great, or snoozers. Nice guy though.
Bro Magleby has changed my life. He is a very open-minded and passionate teacher. He put the textbook together, so he really cares about it. This class can be a lot of work, mainly because it's a lot of thinking. The students basically direct the class by asking questions. He LOVES participation. If you don't want to think, don't take it.
David Magleby actually lets his students think for themselves! His classes are definitely worth taking. He gives his students choices. He loves what he teaches and it shows. He takes his class to a whole different level, not just the shallow information that you regurgitate for a test. I wish all teachers taught like him.
Bro Magleby loves his subject. He wrote the textbook, so he really knows his stuff. I took his class way too early in the morning and didn't really do well on the assignments (his style and mine didn't really mesh well) so I didn't particularly enjoy the class. I learned a lot though and enjoyed class discussions.
Bro. Magleby is a really nice guy it's true. His class is fairly easy however, he is very unclear on what he wants. He will say do what you think is right, but when you do it your way and get marked down its upsetting. I did learn, just not as easy to get an A as it should be.

Has a unique style of teaching that is not for all learners. I personally didn't feel like I learned as much as I would have liked to because he is very vague and seems to repeat the same info over and over. His grading system is very biased basically if he doesn't like you he doesn't have to give you an A because the way his rubric is set up.
If you're excited about teaching, take a professor that is also excited about teaching and really cares about giving you the tools you need in order to be a good teacher. If you keep up with the readings, participate, and do the homework, you will learn so much from Bro. Magleby. He really encourages self-thought and sharing ideas.
Everyone always told me how amazing he was but he is just plain rude. Not only is he not clear on what he wants but when he doesn't get what he wants he is rude. I would defiantly take from another teacher if you can.
If you want to enjoy learning and learn somthing, don't take Bro Magleby. He is super unclear as to what he wants, and grades based on what he considers professionalism. He's sarcastic,laughing at people with them not realizing it. If you have to take the class, take it from anyone else!
This class isn't too bad as long as you keep up on the reading. His classes are mostly discussion based so come prepared to share your opinion and think! Also when doing assignments make things so clear a 5 year old could understand it, or your grade will suffer. This is a great class to take if your looking for a new perspective on education!
Brother Magleby is a rude person who asks for questions and input and when given he replies with remarks that are not only rude, but also arrogant. I would never suggest him as a teacher. He is a teacher that would make a student hate getting an education. He is not clear on assignments and is not approachable.
Bro. Magelby knows his stuff, but he wants us to think a certain way and if we don't, he wants us to change it. He always asks at the start of class if anybody has questions about assignments, etc. He does let you re-do assignments if you don't get the full credit. He just approaches teaching in a completely different way.
The class is not very clear, and I never felt like I could ask questions about assignments without being made to feel totally incompetent and slow.
Brother Magelby is a GREAT teacher. He asks insightful questions and really makes you think and challenge things. Truly what a higher level college education should be! We aren't in high school anymore, start to think at a higher level...
Bro. Magelby is the worst teacher I have had. He is impossible to understand, I never know what he wants. Even with significant effort to get help on my part, he pretty much told me to suck it up. He is not understanding or helpful, and although this was the class I was most excited for, it is the worst class I have taken. Take it online.
I really liked him when I took Ed 200 but this class he was a lot more harsh on people. If your dreams are being a teacher then you shouldn't let his comments get to you. Hes just being "real."
I really appreciated having Brother Magleby as my professor. Initially I was very scared of his teaching method but as the semester advanced and I became more aware of the teacher that I want to be then I understood, and appreciated the teacher he was more. It's a fantastic course and he was a fantastic teacher. I look forward to having him again.
I know he has it in him, but he appears to have this belief that we must do it all without any help. I believe that students must construct their own knowledge, but a little help please! What's the point in having a teacher? A little more scaffolding please.
Brother Magleby is a good teacher in general, he just isn't very clear on what he wants, and then grades hard. He doesn't go over the syllabus so you have to find out for yourself that there is small print saying you can turn in assignments for a better grade. My least favorite class I've taken at this school. Good luck!
Reading the comments on here almost deterred me from taking a class with Bro. Magelby. I am so happy I did not listen this is my favorite class! Yes he is very vague in his assignments, but that's because you have freedom do do what you want! He has helped me to want to be not only a better person but a better teacher. Have an open mind with him.
This class actually convinced me to switch majors. This was the worst professor i have ever had. Everything that he taught i can literally explain in less than 10 minutes. Biggest waste of time of my life!
Brother Magleby is very vague. He is probably the worst professor I've ever had due to his lack of care for his students. He never took the time to help and he never seemed to care about me as a person, which is ironic because that's all he teaches about. Seek guidance somewhere else! Don't take Magleby. He's completely vague.
I felt like Magleby was so rude sometimes. He didn't like helping us out when we asked questions. There was also so much reading. Way too much for a 2 credit class. He wanted us to believe the way he did but acted like we had a choice. I never really knew what he wanted. I'm changing my major because this class was such a bad experience.
Brother Magleby's ed 200 class was inspiring. He truly captures the mission of education. He is very willing to help but he treats students as teachers and expects them to take charge of their own education. I think more classes should be like his with more freedom to learn how you think is best. It is not easy but i believe it is the best way.
I honestly did not like this class at all. This entire semester he has been vague and extremely unhelpful. There were many times I went to him for help after class and he seemed uninterested in me and would not give me help with the issue I needed help on. This entire class has been a huge waste of time.
he was good, high standards, must attend class and be professional. He will always see you after class, but will just restate what he said in class, he's unclear so you'll take the iniciative
Knows his informatio. But, students does not know what is expected. Also, does not piont out weakness or improvement needed to suceed.
OK, I LOVED bro Magleby's class! I thought he was inspiring & entertaining. If he is vague its because he doesnt want to tell you EXACTLY what to do, he wants you to have freedom and be creative *Heaven forbid*. If you only care about having cakewalk classes, don't take it but if you truly want to learn & don't mind a LITTLE effort you'll love it!
I don't want to vent my personal frustrations too much so suffice it to that this class makes me wish that I wasn't spending thousands of dollars and years of my time on higher education.
I had the hardest time in Bro Magleby's class. He is a great teacher. He expected very specific accomplishments from his students but is so vague on what those accomplishments are. I felt like I was getting set up for failure, which was the truth because I did just barely fail. I just felt like I never knew what he wanted out his students.
He is such a good guy, but he doesn't show emotion very well nor explains to us why we do, what he calls, the metaphor. He is willing to talk after class, but is still not very helpful.
Bro. Magleby is great he is super excited about Education and just makes you happy to be their he is vague but it is to help you grow and learn and if you ever need anything clarified he is more than happy to talk to you about it and help you understand I loved his class and highly recommend it
This is an extremely frustrating class because it was is extremely vague. There in never any reinforcement for the positive or the negative. There is no guideline to follow, I felt as if I was feeling around in the dark. He is not a mean person but I think he missed his true calling in life because it shouldn't have been a professor.
Brother Magleby is very passionate, energetic and funny. He expects you to be mature and find your own way. He gives you a LOT of wiggle room for doing assignments. Some find this very frustrating, but its so you can do things to develop your own teaching style. Despite what many said I did not mind him at all.
Magleby is awesome. One of the best teachers I've ever experienced. Everybody complains about lack of clarity but it's because they miss the point of the class. It's about developing your own philosophy through deep thinking. If you struggle in the class ask his advice on which student to seek out for help. If you don't like reading, why teach?
Bro. Magleby is a good guy, but a terrible teacher. I changed my major mostly because of his class. I didn't understand where he was going with half of his lectures. I'm sure he works for some students but not for me
If you want to learn something in his class you have to learn it yourself. The one thing that upset me most about the class was his attitude. He holds all of the students up to a level that he doesn't meet. You need to be a teacher that inspires and accepts your students but he publicly criticizes your comments and gets upset at the students.
He has strong feelings toward education, but comes off aggressive. He assigns ambiguous assignments to allow thought, but gives you a zero and makes you redo them when you did not do them "correctly". Not a good teacher.
Don't take him.
He is a very nice professor, however, in some occasion he might not be clear. The class itself is not hard. If you do not ask question about the assignments, since he is not very clear, you could get a bad grad; specially at the last project which is the most important. You can learn so much though.
Brother Magleby is a great teacher! He is so passionate about what he teaches. He allows for a lot of class discussion and lets the students lead the class. Not a lot of work and it is all easy work.
Overall Professor Magleby made this class interesting, in a subject where few are interested. To be fair, I took his class at 8am, which is not a good idea. Most of the tests are out of the book, but they are way easier when you attend the lectures. Definitely recommend him though!
I was really worried about this class, but it hasn't been too bad. 8:00 in the morning is rough and I often fall asleep in class, but if you do the reading, you will do fine on tests. Three papers- lowest of the three is dropped. Offers a few extra credit options. I'd recommend it for those who need half of the American Heritage GE requirement!
He was so rude to me when I asked a question and in front of the class he said, "Then you must not think kids have the ability to learn and you don't care about them at all!!" I left the room in tears (along with 2 other students he yelled at) and he never apologized for it! How are we supposed to learn how to be teachers from someone like that...
He is a nice person, but in my opinion he is not the greatest teacher. He doesn't explain the assignments well. You can't really tell what he expects from you. YOU HAVE TO ASK HIM if you really want to do well in that class!!. The only way that you could learn in this class is by doing your readings.
ASK HIM TO CLARIFY ASSIGNMENTS!!! Ask during class or after class, he's willing to go over it with you until you get it. But this is a self motivated class. Also, he can be very direct and uses tough love, but seriously, wake up. You're opinion and feelings aren't always correct and believe me your future boss will be less nice.
If you just want to be fed facts, get your grade and get out, he may not be for you. Bro. M teaches self-motivation and finding what's important to you in your teaching, not memorizing someone else's "right' answers. Great class discussions, appropriate workload for 2 credits, test on the content you create. An all time favorite class and teacher.
This class has hard for me to grasp, but once you understand, it can be very inspirational and helpful in your career path. He is a bit unclear on assignments and due dates and you go by your own honor code, stay up to date on your assignments. Also, when he puts NY on your paper, that means not yet- never knew!
I'll be honest, this class was one of my least favorite at first. I felt incompetent and confused. After having a discussions with Mr. M, I was able to really grasp what the course was about and why he teaches the way he does. No, this class is not "easy", but it is so worth it! Magleby is an amazing professor who cares about ed. Act like an adult.
Brother Magleby is a great guy, but he really is not a clear or concise teacher. This may be his first semester teaching this class, but everyone walks out wondering what or if we just learned anything. Workload is not hard, but he does not prepare you well for the test- everyone was clueless (average is usually a C). Great guy, bad class.
Professor Magleby clearly loves what he does and is interesting to listen to, regardless of the fact that everything he teaches comes directly from the text (be prepared for LOTS of reading). Tests are fair. The TAs grade the 3 papers quite ridiculously though. It seems as if they just randomly assign you a grade with little insight to that grade.
Brother Magleby is a good guy but he made the course more confusing that it needed to be. Lectures sometimes got off topic and lost me, and it was hard to connect what he was saying to what we were supposed to be taking from class and apply it to the tests. Overall the class just had poor structure, so it's not his fault.
Dr. Magleby is experienced. If you want to learn about American politics, take this class from him, and from nobody else. The class helps students develop and reaffirm their political standings. TA's are great, as well. Wants to make sure all students understand the topic. Sometimes the class feels like its in a political debate or voting poll.
He made us do these weird things called captures and the ones that I tried my hardest on, I would get 5's but the ones that I just bs-ed, I would get 10's.. That was annoying but he tries to be a good teacher!!!! His tests are seriously difficult though
Brother Magleby was very unclear with all of his work load. His discussions in class were always off topic and he was often rude to a lot of his students. I would not recommend him to anyone. Take someone else for American Foundations.
He is the worst teacher I've ever had. I didn't learn anything at all this semester. When it was time to take tests I didn't know how or what I needed to do to prepare myself. He was always off topic during lectures and he often got mad at students and yelled at them and would ask them to leave (which was really awkward btw). Don't take him.
The irony is that it is his job is to prepare students to be a better teacher. I suggest you do not enroll in his course.
Confusing homework but you can redo it. Several group projects, time consuming but not impossible. Vague information, but almost always regarding controversial topics. Good teacher for independent learners, not so much for people who just want to get the class over with. Participate in class and act like you care, and he will care.
He's interactive, but he makes you feel stupid after answering questions. He has no positive or negative to any comment made in class and I walk away confused as to what was correct and what was just a student's perception of what's right.
Brother Magleby is an amazing person, but not a very good professor. He makes it extremely unclear about what he wants from you. If you show up and do the work its an easier A but the motivation to do so is lacking. There is a lot of homework and 2 big group projects that took a lot of time. You also never know what your grade is till the very end
He's not so bad. Some of the lectures can be confusing, so be ready to pay extra attention. Expect to do captures of the reading, which aren't bad once you get the hang of it. The reading is amazing! Be ready to read. It will help you a ton! As long as you are willing to put in the work, you will be fine in this class. I had two group papers.
Brother Magleby is a great guy, he cares about you and your grade, but you have to go talk to him. Read everything that you are assigned, and do the homework. He gives you tough love, but we are all adults... But if you're sensitive don't take the class. Overall he's a smart man that WILL MAKE YOU THINK.
I took this class years ago. Now that I'm actually a teacher I realize I was correct in thinking that his teaching was flawed. Once he actually told me my opinion was wrong and I wouldn't make a good teacher. So glad I didn't take him seriously and thought for myself instead of changing my educational beliefs for him.
You have assignments every other night that are useless. There are 2 group papers that aren't very hard but they take up a lot of time. The tests are hard and he doesn't prepare you for them at all. I never knew what to expect on the tests. He is unclear and his lectures are boring. Also if he doesn't agree with you, he will make you feel stupid.
Brother Magleby is a terrible teacher. There are 3 homework assignments a week, all of which are completely irrelevant to what will be on the test. He doesn't believe in "spoon-feeding" his students, which is his way of saying he wont give you any hints of what will be on the test. No study guides. No grade until the end of semester. DO NOT TAKE.
Probably about the most confusing course I have ever taken. Assignment expectations were never very clear, lectures were long and boring. Professor can often come across as rude, however he is not unreasonable. His instructions are rarely clear so always ask for clarification before working on them. Would not take his class again.
I hate him. No it's not that bad, but I definitely won't take him again. He's so vague and won't let you ask him any questions. I'm going to have to retake the class more than likely.
Very vague when giving instructions on homework and tests. He picks random questions from a test bank so just hope he covered it in class. He gives answers that aren't straight forward and leaves you guessing. His lectures are boring and it is hard to pay attention in class. He has a tendency to be sarcastic and straight up rude to his students.
He makes the course very unfair. He takes the lowest grade out of the category of assignments and tests and makes the lowest grade of yours your final grade, it doesn't matter if you go to all the classes and do all the assignments if you do bad on the tests you'll fail the class.
Does NOT teach course material pertinent to exams. The class is easy, however every exam I took I felt extremely unprepared for. Many other students expressed this also. First class average (from what I understand) was a D+. He comes off as lazy, does not enter grades until end of semester. Has anger issues. I was never targeted, but I observed it
A class required for graduation. Did not prepare us for tests, and as a result many did poorly. I had A's in every category except exams. He grades by taking your lowest section, and making that your final grade. For that reason, I ( An 'A' student) will be receiving a C+ because he lacks the ability to effectively teach. Lazy, Rude, can be nice.
If i could give a lower rating i would. Very sarcastic & demeaning when students would ask questions/ make comments during lectures. His lectures hardly covered the material on the tests. Says he will take your lowest grade on a section i.e tests, assignments, etc and will take that as your final grade, but he doesn't enter grades until end of sem.
I would not recommend taking his class. He did extremely poorly to prepare you for tests. The work you do really doesn't coordinate with what you do in class. Attending class itself was practically pointless, except you need to go because you get points for attending. Very sarcastic, but in a way I didn't really appreciate in a teacher.
Perhaps the worst teacher I've ever had in my life. His grading system is ridiculous and unfair as he makes it practically impossible to get an A in the class unless you can manage to make straight A's throughout the entire course. Homework load is heavy and tedious. He is condescending, arrogant, and unwilling to answer questions. Do not take him!
He acknowledges that he could be a better teacher, so bless his heart. But his AMF course was confusing and the grading is UNFAIR. He takes your lowest score and makes that your final grade. Daily assignments were sent back to me regularly instead of just entering what I got out of the full points, causing me to redo EVERY assignment I did. Not fun
He is a really great teacher in his education class, he leads inspired lectures. But there is a lot of reading and it is a student driven class as well. I have learned so much from him and I am taking my next level class with him! He is really passionate about education.
Wow. This teacher is awful. He will not respect you unless you are exactly like him. I would NEVER recommend him. Do yourself a favor and NEVER EVER TAKE THIS CLASS!!!! I promise it is a waste of time to even give him the benefit of the doubt. If you like to be respected, don't take the class. He needs to be seriously evaluated by his superior.
Great professor!
This class was very disappointing. I found myself very bored in a topic I usually enjoy. The quizzes were tough and the papers were hard. This class wasn't unbearable, but it was a lot of work. Lecture felt pointless even though I never missed a class. He is a nice guy and passionate about political science, but I would not take from him again.
If you want to pass you MUST do the assigned homework, that's what you discuss in class the next time. He has many assignments, but you don't have to do all of them. The tests were pretty tough, but if you read the book you would know the stuff... I did not. If you do poorly it is on you, I liked his personality, great teacher and inspirational.
This class was disappointing. This teacher is terrible. He doesn't respect you unless you are just like him. If you have to take his class then do all you can to stay on his good side because he will treat you like crap if you aren't on his side. Also, his grading system is the MOST STUPID thing ever!!! Just do yourself a favor and don't take him!!!
He's a good teacher within the class, but a horrible test giver.
Great teacher because of the inspirational lectures. His main goal is to help you succeed. He has a passion for teaching. At first he can be a bit much, but that is simply how he shows his passion. He works hard to help you understand and takes time for questions. He cares about the students and not about his own prestige.
I wanted to like him because he is a nice guy but this class was just awful. He would never tell us anything concrete, even for the assignments so you'd leave feeling even more confused than before you talked to him. He also talks about divergence in the classroom but then docks you on assignments for not doing it exactly how he wants it.
I absolutely love the way he has set up his class. It's more of a "try until you get it" instead of "know this by next Tuesday or you fail." He does give a lot of homework, but it's fair and it has really helped me to deeper understand the content. He has helped me better understand being a teacher. If you do the work, you'll get a good grade.
He really make you think about what being a teacher actually means. He is a fair grader. This class is so easy as long as you do the work. He gives you a lot to think about and has really helped me become a better teacher! If you want to become a better teacher take from him.
Br. Mableby is a great teacher, his class is very interesting i took it at 7:45 am and didn't fall asleep. He probably gives more work than other teachers for the same course. There is a daily assignment and class prep/homework every day.
Vague about explaining assignments, but not about his grading. If you ask questions you'll end up being even more confused by the end of the answer. If you don't do everything exactly as he likes it, then you have to redo it or fail. Teaches about organization within the classroom, but this was the least organized class I've taken.
Worst teacher on campus by far. I've never felt so unprepared for tests in my life. I would study and study and study class notes, get in to the exam and find that none of what I studied was on the exam. I can get an A in bio and chem courses but could get an A in his class. On top of that, the way he treats his students is horrible as well.
I'm sufficient with history, but with him I didn't learn anything. He didn't cover much in class, lots of reading for HW, and incredibly difficult detail specific tests. The in class enrichment papers are busywork and left me with no time to take notes. I had to drop to save my other grades because of the HW, I'm trying a new teacher this semester.
Brother Magleby is a nice enough guy but he is all over as a teacher. He never specified due dates or expectations and the "lectures" were just random tangents he would go off on the entire class. He's really hard to follow. All your grade is based off of a couple projects which he doesn't tell you how to do. I didn't learn anything from his class.
Can be funny & tries to engage his students using this, but can be extremely condescending. Implies that if you are having trouble, you are lazy/stupid and it's not his problem. Started off well, but once asked for help, was completely unconcerned with my requests for it. Tends to not clarify/announce due dates. Didn't post grades until very end.
I loved his class so much. He is by far the best professor I've had and it's sad I probably won't take any of his other classes. I learned so much about how to be a civil human being from him and his class and I will never forget that. It wasn't the easiest class but I recieved an A-minus while putting in effort on assignments and projects.
Brother Magleby is hands down a true teacher. His passion is education so if you can take any ED classes, please do! He's teaching a few foundation courses, but he hasn't set those up the same way (following what the dept. wanted). He takes thinking to another level and strives to have students do the same. Think of things in different ways.
Dreaded going to his class everyday. Lectured the whole time, had to sit in assigned groups everyday, wouldn't prepare us for tests, the list goes on and on. I went into every test with no confidence at all.
Easily the most confusing professor I've ever had. Ask a question, (which trust me you'll have plenty) and he'll make you feel like you asked the dumbest question possible. Class made me switch from being an Ed major. You also won't get your grade until after the semester is over. I did rate him a 2 because he is very passionate about teaching.
He is an amaazinggg professor! You will not regret taking him. He is very passionate about this class.
I have always enjoyed history, and was not disappointed with Brother Magleby's class. He is and engaging professor. He implements a few group projects. His TA will cover test material outside of class. Brother Magleby is good about answering questions about assignments. His class is not an easy A, but it was enjoyable!
The instructions for homework or projects was very unclear, and if you ask for a clarification, you would usually feel more confused than before he answered. If your assignments did not earn a 100%, he will make you fix it until you get there. Philosophy is not my thing, so I did not like the lectures very much. Not a bad class, but not great.
Brother Magleby is simply amazing. He taught me so much. He doesn't make you do busy work, which is super nice. His assignments are for our benefit, and really help with understanding the material. He is just a great human, and a great professor, if you want to learn about the world around you, take this class from him.
Bro Magleby was a great teacher. I didn't know much about American History but he taught the class with such enthusiasm for 7:45AM. I always enjoyed going to his class. He learns his students names, greets you outside of class times, explains things in great detail and loves his job. I would definitely take this class again if I had to.
Bro. Magelby is an amazing professor! I'd recommend him to anyone. He is hilarious, great with lectures, and is really passionate about the class and students doing well. There's a homework assignment every other day, and several group projects throughout the semester. Great class! Be ready to meet someone new every day and pay attention!
Brother Magleby is an amazing teacher. When I went to the tutor I still felt lost, I made an appointment with him, and I had one of the best exam reviews ever!! It wasn't at all "here are the answers good luck", it was actually helping me to understand things. I actually enjoyed coming to class, class is never boring, and always uplifting!
Hands down one of the most amazing teacher I have had. I am a senior (yes in a FD class)and I know bad teachers, and he is not one of them! Students will rate him bad, I almost missed his class because of them, but I am blessed that I did take it, he motivates and encourages his students to succeed, if you don't want to work, then ya you will fail.
Brother Magleby makes the class entertaining and gives you chances for a good grade. His teaching style is a little different, but it was good.
Oh my gosh he is amazing!!! I have never been so excited for a subject before. I almost changed my major just to work with him again. The TA Josh is a bum though, so just speak with Bro. Magelby he is amazing and always has time to work with what is going on in your life. Most teachers believe we lie, but he knows life happens. And trusts you!
He has been a phenomenal teacher! He makes you stretch and work but this college, expect to learn and grow! I had so much fun in his class, the activities we have are always in exams which is nice so you are not blind sided by things when you get to the exam! TAKE HIM AND YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!
Do all the daily doings and get your lowest 5 scores dropped at the end of the semester. If Josh is the TA go to is reviews because he gives you all the question for the test. 1 group paper. 2 options for what type of final you want to do. Read a book or write a long paper. Overall a pretty easy class.
He gives lectures the whole class but doesn't tell you what will and won't be on the test so you are just sitting there not knowing what to write and when you ask about the test he doesn't put study guides and tells you to read.
Class included mostly class discussion. He rarely gave his opinion. I prefer to pay teachers to teach, not to facilitate a discussion. His instruction is very unclear. He does not give any examples/ success criteria for assignments, so you do not know what his expectations are.
Brother Magleby is a great professor who really cares about his students. He knows how to involve the class with thought-provoking questions and encourages debate within our groups and classmates. He made A.F. a fun class and I would recommend him to everyone- his classes went by fast and his homework was generally easy.
Magleby always makes us feel welcome but also challenged to think more deeply. He treats all students as teachers and I never felt patronized by him. There are lots of group activities (not projects) and you make a lot of your own projects. Understand "Doctrines, Principles, Tools" asap and start course projects early and you will succeed.
It was a general studies class and I participated and studied and still didnt do great in the class. The tests were hard to understand and about every answer you could choose from was the correct one. Just needs to be more clear on tests but the professor is a friendly guy.
I have never had a class that was so easy and I learned so much. It is fascinating and is not the same garbage that I heard in high school over and over again. You can talk to him after class and the tests are extremely easy.
His humor is for a specific audience. Really helpful
Brother Magleby cares so much about all of his students. He does give a lot of work but not to much. Everything is very doable and write ups dont have to be thought out. TA does grade all the work and his TA currently is way to tough but as long as you do the work he is super funny and cool. Makes you think about everything.
Brother Magleby is a really great guy, definitely has an odd sense of humor. He really cares about his students and is a really good teacher. Only have one relatively large assignment every week. Not too bad.
I have taken several foundations courses at BYUI and Brother Magleby the worst professor I have had. He assigns a lot of reading and random busy work during the week that I usually don't have time for. His lectures are meandering and unclear, and he teaches in a very condescending way. I would recommend taking any other teacher or online.
Magleby is really good & i'm surprised he doesn't have a higher rating. He tries to get you to think about the subject & some people might take it as intimidating but it's just how he teaches. Homework isn't too bad & he allowed us to miss a couple of assignments & still get 100%. Go to the study groups, pay attention, & he is really fun.
Super easy class, just do the homework and participate and you will be good to go. He is quite a character and is super nice and funny. A lot of team work but not much work outside of class besides the weekly assignments
Brother Magleby is an amazing professor. Doing the assignments is hard bc they are only worth 2 points, but it adds up. If Josh is your TA go to the test reviews, he gives a lot of the answers. There is extra credit for the tests. If you go to class you'll pass.
Magleby really knows how to facilitate learning. Classes are full of discussion and he guides it where it needs to go but let's the students do most of it. Teamwork is important. Homework is pretty simple and straightforward. Do the work and you'll have no problem in this class. I'm going to take ED200 from him as well!
Magleby has to be one of the most caring and understanding teachers. He truly cares for you and make assignments that are team involved. I was nervous about this but I ended up loving it! If you pay attention and do your work you'll be A okay!
Bro. Magleby lulls you into a false sense of security by making the first 12 weeks seem easy and hits you with difficult assignments with unclear criteria for the last week or two. He also does this strange & unhelpful thing where he gives indistinct responses to your comments in class by saying, "there's an idea."
I never felt comfortable in Brother Magleby's class. If you read the book you'll be fine on all the tests. You have to go to class for credit and for some test questions.
Brother Magelby was amazing! If one would put their phone away and do the readings, they would learn a ton in his American Foundations class. His lectures were my favorite of any class I have taken. The textbook is awesome if you actually dive into it. Also, don't forget the book report at the end of the semester. It's worth 10% of your final grade
I felt I learned a lot from this class and loved having independent thinking opportunities. But, he is very unclear about his expectations and what "success" looks like to him. I think this is intentional so we can learn on our own, but it didn't work for my personal learning style and made me very anxious and uncertain whether I was doing well.
I wasn't a huge fan of brother Magleby's teaching style, but I learned a lot from classroom discussions. I also had a lot of health issues this semester and he was really willing to accommodate me and make sure I passed the class despite how much I missed. He really appreciates enthusiasm and effort, and he will reward you if you show him that.
The class is structured in a way that you chose your grade. You do certain assignments based off what end grade you want and each assignment is basically pass or fail. If you do it you'll get the pass.
This teacher just talks the entire class and doesn't give any feedback to students about how they're doing in the class. There are almost no assignments until the very last week, with almost no description or help whatsoever. I don't feel like I actually learned anything about becoming a teacher.
He is always positive and excited about what he is teaching and each class was meaningful.
Brother Magleby has awesome discussions, and I loved to sit and listen. However, if you sit and listen you won't get a good "demeanor" grade, because you literally get graded on your personality. The class has no structure, the instructions were unclear, & I never learned anything from his "feedback." However, good "demeanor" gets you an A.
This class was the worst class I have ever taken. He is not clear on what he wants in the class. He turns his grades in on the last day so you do not have time to fix the things he marks incomplete. He marks things incomplete if you do not do exactly what he wants even though he does not tell you what he wants. He is not a teacher I would take.
I was a little put off by Brother Magleby's teaching style at first but once I got the hang of it I really loved his class! He totally practiced what he preached in class, which was cool because it's an education class. You cant get off without doing your best in his class, but I'd say it's worth it.
Worst teacher I've ever had. He is very rude and inconsiderate. He tries to belittle students constantly. I stopped commenting in class halfway through. He's very unprofessional and the discussions were always off topic. Some discussions left me sick to my stomach. ignorant, irrelevant topics. The projects were easy to do and we learned NOTHING
Super dramatic teaching style, feels like a performance, not genuine. Some people responded well, it was hard for me. Assignments had vague and often confusing instructions but very specific expectations that were not explained. About 1/3 of the information we needed to learn was covered in class, the rest was in readings.
Different classroom experience then normal but learned a lot!
One of the worst Teachers that I have ever had. Belittled his Students, didn't care about his Students, and was so incredibly vague. Honestly can't even imagine why he ever decided to be a Teacher to be in this first place.
Brother Magleby is great. He is so passionate about education and we talked a lot about super interesting things in this class. There was lots of reading but I learned a lot from it. Class itself is very discussion based, and you get a lot of insight from Bro Magleby and the other students. He helps you figure out the kind of teacher you want to be
If you prefer structure, DON'T take this class. There are few graded assignments and are worth 1-3 points each. Brother Magleby gives very vague instructions for assignments and it's difficult to gauge his expectations. Classes are discussion led. He occasionally belittles students. After being corrected, he's never pronounced my name correctly.
I did not enjoy Brother Magleby as a teacher. He belittled students and I never felt comfortable asking questions for fear he would say something rude. His assignments are very vague and he grades for very specific things that are usually not on his rubric. It was very hard to get a complete on assignments on the first try.
This was the hardest professor I have had to deal with. Instructions are not clear at all and asking for clarification does not get you very far. He makes students feel dumb for asking questions. Stopped talking in class because of this. Has high expectations but you don't know what those expectations are. Will not be taking from him again.
His class lacks structure and clarity. He's very condescending and fake. It doesn't seem like he puts any real preparation into his classes. The projects are completely unrelated to the in-class content. Not understanding or sympathetic. 0/10 would not recommend. Busy work.
With this Covid it changed the class. We were able to write more lessons then normal. There was a lot of group work and working with your classmates but it was fun. We got to create what we wanted and got good feedback. His rubrics were confusing and he didn't help clarify it well. Good teacher but takes some getting used to for sure.
He is a really good professor. He accepts late assignments and lets you be your "own teacher" with his guidance. He makes class fun and a lot more interesting then some of the college teachers. I would prefer not having to go to class but if I have to this class isn't "half that bad." This class is a pass fail and that does create a different level
He starts the class off by asking if we have a question, we would then have a class discussion on the subject. There was a lot of reading for the class but we would discuss the readings in class. I really enjoyed the class and I learned a lot. He was very approachable and would answer the questions that you had on the homework.
Magleby is kind of unclear in is instruction. His assignments are graded harshly but allows redos. He is accessible outside of class and I had to take advantage of that many times. He overall wasnt my favorite. His instruction and lectures were unclear and it was a big struggle having to redo pretty much every assignment. He grades really harshly.
Unclear instructions, harsh grades. Graded on "professional demeanor," which amounts to how much he likes you. Never fully explains what professional demeanor is. Implicitly agree with his educational philosophy, or he dismisses your opinion. If you have to take, there's a huge project due at the end he doesn't tell you about. Read through asap.
Worst class I have taken thus far. The assignments are unclear and hard to understand. I don't understand his teaching method at all. It's the same redundant things all the time. I haven't learned in his class really since the second week of school. I highly recommend taking this class from a different teacher if at all possible.
Worse class I have taken. Brother Magelby is a great guy and is super nice, but isn't a great teacher. Don't expect to get an A in this class. He doesn't explain things enough and is just confusing.
Here's what you need to know: Grading is different, but you'll get it if you listen when he explains. You aren't graded on a scale, but get credit for mastery. Over 75% on all tests is full credit for tested content. You will use the book often, at least it isn't a waste of money and reading per night isn't crazy. Watch the schedule and you're fine
Putting in context some other reviews, Magleby will have you do work out of class to get a better grade, but takes that out of the time he expects from you. Get a C for showing up, get an A for working. Grading is different, but more than fair. Always asking how he can be of use to you, then goes out of his way to ensure you're taken care of.
He is the worst teacher ever! He doesn't care about the students and just wants everyone to agree with him. His homework is boring and takes a lot of time. He also give grade depending on how much he likes you. Avoid this class
This class was awful. I like Brother Magleby as a person but as a teacher, I learned nothing. Half the time the class does not make sense and I have no idea what he's trying to say or teach. The grading was annoying and weird. Going to class was such a chore. I was not a fan.
He was an awful teacher I haven't learned anything about teaching at all in this class. His whole class is just a discussion we never do anything else except for listen to others talk and have a discussion. And if you don't agree with him he makes you feel bad for it and tries to change your mind.
I wouldn't take this class again. He is a good person, but not a good teacher. He has been repetitive since day one, and you have to do your work his way. You don't get an opinion. If you go against what he says, your grade will suffer. Would not recommend.
If you do the readings and your assignments you'll be fine. Not a big fan of his teaching style.
Brother Magleby isn't the greatest when it comes to teaching. I never really understood his lessons. I would leave class with more questions than answers. There is quite a bit of reading. If you disagree with what he is teaching be prepared to have your grade dropped. I wouldn't recommend this professor.
Keep him informed and even when it's a struggle to understand assignments or do well on them, let him know, he will help you for sure, "where there's a will there's a way! Gotta read through or do some self-learning from reading the book! Best professor and hope to model his concept of showing true interest in kids learning! the best!
Brother Magleby is an incredible teacher. The way he designs his courses and the risks he takes as a professor have helped me own my work. He has designed his class around he theory of subject matter immersion which is proven to better prepare students for what real work looks like. Those who didnt like his class just didnt understand it.
Brother Magleby is really caring and considerate! He makes students feel heard, and encourages conflicting opinions to be discussed. Lots of cool discussions. The hardest part of the class, for me, was that he doesn't tell you "That's right." When you make a comment, because he wants you to figure out what you believe.
Brother Magleby was one of the worst professors I have ever had. He is very vague on all assignments yet grades them with very high expectations. His lectures are also not helpful because in a class about learning to teach; he barely teaches at all. Definitely would recommend going to a different professor!
Idk why his rating is so low, but Bro. Magleby's class was pretty easy. It's a lil' confusing with the criteria but he always asks if people have questions and helps. His TA also lets you resubmit assignments for a higher score. I got 100% in the class. His lectures are discussions, so class isn't boring and he's a goofy guy
I would not reccomend this class. Brother Magleby was a very confusing lecturer. He was never clear on what you were supposed to get from his message, and if you thought differently than him you were wrong. His assignments were vague and confusing, and his TA graded harshly based on expectations that were not explained. 10/10 do not reccomend.
He does grade kind of harshly, but often he'll let you resubmit things to get the grade you want on them. He's also super great about makeup work, and will work with you if you aren't getting the grade you want. The whole class is more of a discussion style, so be prepared to share your thoughts the whole time.
He is a terrible guy, made my wife cry. Should not be teaching. He's not good enough for Mcdonalds
Make sure you do the work, but he is so dang kind. He works with you if you go to him. tbh, didn't read a single thing for his preparations, but TAKE NOTES during his lectures and you will be fine.
He was a terrible professor. I do not think I learned a thing from his classes and his assignments were very confusing. He is very picky and definitely picks the favorites. He also brought politics into the teaching and if you went against what he said you would get a bad grade. His assignments were very vague and they did not teach you anything.
This was the hardest 2 credit class ever, Brother Magleby was so vague when he talks about assignments. He also does not tell you if what you said was wrong, it is a philosophy class but it's unnecessarily confusing. He's a great person but not a great professor. I would not take his class if you have the chance to take it from someone else.
The class was confusing and I didn't even know what I was supposed to be learning. Assignments were unclear it was never explained what he wanted you to do. The 4 final projects don't make any sense. It's supposed to be a class to teach about being a teacher but he expects you to know everything and be a teacher already. I learned nothing.
Brother Magleby is a little difficult sometimes. He has very high expectations for his students but doesn't always explain them. He wasn't my favorite professor, but he was very helpful during middle school practicum and I would take the class again if I had to. I would probably not take him for a different course, however.
Brother Magleby is a great teacher who has made philosophical thinking his personality, so be ready for his belief of receiving ZERO feedback and having broad open-ended discussions every day. It's honestly a great class that encourages you to think on your own- no right or wrong answers. Do all the work and you'll get an A.
I really liked this class. I learned a lot about education and it really made me think. Sometimes I was a little confused on how the assignments worked, but he was super understanding.
I love how he respects his students and treats them like college students. He doesn't take attendance, but there are surprise activities which could cost you points if absent. He really helped me prepare for the Praxis exam which I appreciate. His quizzes are very difficult and the activities are time consuming but I learned a lot about history.
He was such a great guy, I just had a hard time taking his quizzes because I didn't know what to expect from them. If you want to understand the lectures, reading the reading assignments is a great idea, but it's also okay if you don't read them. I would've appreciated a Kahoot for extra preparation, but he is straightforward to work with.
Brother Magleby did an amazing job, he is an amazing teacher and was very captivating. I enjoyed his class a lot, and learned a ton from him. I'll definitely by taking more of his classes in the future.
I took this class in the Fall of 2022, but my ratings keep getting removed. The third time is a charm I guess. My reviews tell the truth about how awful this man is. He made me hate waking up and going to class in the morning. Very vague on the assignment descriptions. Hard to explain, but he is absolutely awful. Don't take any classes from him!
on the first unit test the whole class felt bad about their test scores and he lectured us for half the class on how it was our fault that we did bad. he made some of us cry.
Brother Magleby's teaching is disorganized, with unclear expectations and instructions. He prioritizes classroom behavior over assignments, leading to harsh grading, especially if there is a divergence of opinion. There's a perception that he has favorites, and he comes across as prideful.
Brother Magleby's teaching is disorganized, with unclear expectations and instructions. He prioritizes classroom behavior over assignments, leading to harsh grading, especially if there is a divergence of opinion.
Don't take this class; it's unorganized and unclear. You might find yourself on his list of disliked students if your opinions differ from his.
I thoroughly enjoyed Brother Magelby's HIST 115 class this semseter. He knows his stuff and I always felt engaged and excited to learn from him. The only homework is readings with a couple of assignments and a test at the end of the unit. He will prepare you for the social studies praxis!
I took HIST115 and strongly disliked it. He's unclear with instructions on assignment and the prep quizzes he assigns ask very niche questions that most people couldn't have found from the reading. He was lenient with me when I got sick which was nice. He made the class harder than necessary. Dissapointed he's the only one who offers this class.
DO NOT take a class from Bro Magleby! I felt a gradual uneasiness and disappointment in this classroom and teacher. The material we were learning was a vague. The thing I struggled the most with was how the class room had no clarity. And when confusion would arise Bro Magleby would yell at us instead of helping us.
Does not know how to teach/run a class. It seemed like he took assignments from somewhere and gave them to us without even looking at them. Couldn't explain his own assignments. When EVERY student failed an exam, he yelled at the class and told everyone that we are the problem and that we obviously don't care enough. AWFUL. He genuinely scares me.
If you can avoid it, I do not recommend Brother Magleby for any classes. He always spoke condescendingly to us in class, was unclear on the expectations for assignments and exams, and yelled at us in class when we asked for help. The only positive experiences that I had with him were when I came to him privately to ask for help.
His assignments were very vague. When we asked what he wanted from the assignments he made it even more confusing. There are also random activities in class that you cannot make up if you are not there, so even though he doesn't grade attendance you could possibly miss points if you're not there.
Tough but fair. He really wants to make sure that the people in his class become great teachers for the sake of their future students, and he will let you know that.
Take this class from anyone else. He does not prepare you for any tests or projects. In fact, he won't even mention them unless you ask in class. His lectures are hard to know what he wants you to take notes on and he moves on really fast. He tends to rant a lot as well.
He does NOT teach to the quizzes. The lectures in class do not make sense and then you get to the quiz and have no idea what to do because he didn't teach it in class. It's a hard class and the lectures are not helpful. However, he is willing to work with you if you make the effort.
Sometimes the expectations for the assignments were unclear, however, if you are direct with him he can help you. He gives TONS of extra credit and replies quickly to emails. Lots of homework but every week is the same so you get in the rhythm. Overall not bad and learned a ton! He is kind and is happy to help and can be easily reached.
Magleby's class can be hit or miss. While his lectures are engaging, the assignments and grading can be vague and inconsistent. However, using Unstuckstudy ai and the free textbook helped me stay on top of the material.
He is a very demeaning and manipulative, though in a subtle way. His words may seem kind, but his tone always gives away the fact that he thinks you are inferior to him, and your emotions don't matter. When you answer a question in class and get it wrong, he spends the rest of the class returning to it and belittling you as he does so.
I'm assuming he doesn't look at these. First off, he has you read at least 20-30 pages a night, where the articles use a bunch of jargon, and you have to look up what's being talked about on YouTube/Google to know what's going on. Also, he's very vague when describing a topic, even the examples he gives are very vague. Get ready for confusion.
He doesn't explain things and doesn't practice what he preaches
Brother Magleby is not a good professor. He pushes future teachers to make things clear for their students, yet makes assignments confusing for his.There are many more things I could say about him, but essentially, he does not practice what he preaches, and makes things hard and confusing for his students. His lectures do not make sense.
I loved Brother Magleby, he knew exactly what he was teaching at all times and made lectures enjoyable. I felt I was learning so much every day. Tests were a little difficult and sometimes there would be things on the test that we never covered in class. He gives lots of opportunities for extra credit, this was so helpful especially after tests.
He is funny, but it was almost impossible to get a good grade because he had no clear grading criteria and graded so harshly. I am a straight A student but did not get a good grade in his EDUCATION course because he did not explain things clearly!! He was frustrating and hard to deal with and did not teach clearly. But he is funny.
Don't pay attention to the negative ratings - the class was not hard because of him but because he has so much to teach in one semester. Each of the five units covered could easily have been a semester long class on their own. Brother Magleby loves the subject and is easy to talk to. Just ask him questions or for help and he is more than happy!
His assignments can be very unclear at times, but he starts every class by asking if we have any questions and a conversation from there for the first few minutes before his lectures. He gives students a chance to teach and get some extra credit. You can tell he has a love for history and his students.
He knows his stuff and provides ample content to prepare for the PRAXIS exam. He's a tough grader, but I think it helped me get a high score in my PRAXIS because I had to really work for it. He takes the time to know each student by name and asks if we have any questions of concerns at the beginning of class. If you want to pass PRAXIS, take him!
He is the only option for this class. His lectures and practice exams never match the exams, so be aware of that. Attendance doesn't count, but he will randomly add class activities that will pull your grade down if you get a 0. He doesn't accept late quizzes or answer questions very well.
Great guy, but horrible teacher. The lectures rarely cover the material on the test, and would get upset when the class failed the test. Everybody in the class barely passed the tests bc he did not teach. He was the only teacher available for the class. Would never take a class from him again
Lectures did not prepare you for the test. Rude to students, and unwilling to work with you when you come to him with stuggles you are having in the class.
He constantly inspires me. He invites his students to not just to learn how to be a teacher, but also to practice now. Read material even though it's not graded, it will help you in tests. Keep a list of things to consider including in your final Unit Plan. Challenging, but ultra-rewarding in something much more valuable than a letter grade!
Brother Magleby is a good teacher. He knows the material well, but the way he teaches it to students is not always straight forward. Part of his style is letting students figure it out by themselves as he presents the material. He can be witty and sarcastic at times. USE your reading resources! Google Notebook LM & the reading center.
Constantly guessing on what he wants us to do for assignments and what will be on tests. Very unclear. Very rude to students often. Can't work with students with concerns or grades at all. Had to constantly redo assignments because he doesn't have clear rubrics at all, nor does he explain anything ever.
I have no words. Will call students out in class and yell at them. He treated all his students like they're stupid. How does he teach for a living...
Brother Magleby was very rude. He called out students often and was not very personable. He didn't strive to build relationships. His rubrics were very vague and he was very picky about grading. I wouldn't recommend this professor.
Bro. Magleby is kind and tries his best to understand what he is teaching but he is a history teacher, not a education or psychology teacher. He was good at the beginning but struggled to have any patience with me by the end. His test questions were confusing and his criteria doesn't exist. You will need to read his mind and nail it the first time.
