Sessoms is a worthless teacher. This class was totally useless and Sessoms made it all the more painful with his lack of ability in teaching. I long for the day that I can tear him apart on the course evaluation. Ironic that he would teach "technology in education" because he is proficient in neither.

Just finished Sessom's class EDUC 318: Technology in Education. It was impossible to gage your personal progress because he only told us 2 of our grades after we'd done several assignments. I stayed lost during most of the class, not because I didn't understand the material, but because I didn't understand the objectives. Good luck if you take him.

The WORST professor I have ever had and I have had several professors. Please take my advice and do not, I repeat, DO NOT take this professor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not clear about grades. What he teaches in class is useless in a real classroom, though the workload is easy. Rude, incompetent. Stay away.

This teacher is obviously not good at what he does. Little knowledge base, unhelpful, unclear. Changes assignments that are useless anyway, no feedback on assignments .

Extremely rude and disrespecful. Has no organizational skills and is not current on teaching trends. Does not follow University criteria to use MyClasses and doesn't update his website for current information. Doesn't return phone calls or emails until very late at night. Not interested in helping student and cannot explain assignments

Terrible professor. When you are lacking in assignment details, you cannot take points off for things that are not listed in rubrics. Expect all emails to be answered with a rude underlying "your stupid" theme to them. I know you are reading this because you are into technology, step your game up Sessoms.

Worst teacher I have ever had. He is rude and unhelpful and shows no interest in this class or his students. Talks about grades in front of the class and will give an automatic zero if he has trouble opening an assignment. I will not use what I learned in this class in my classroom. This is by far the worst teacher I have ever had. Dont take him!!

I cannot believe this is a graduate level class.

I dropped this class because I did not care for this professor and when I went to email him about an assignment he was rude in the returning email. He wants people to participate in class. In the beginning of the class, he has the whole class take a quiz on kahoot. Anyone taking this class with this professor should work on assignments early!!

worse professor I have ever had at Salisbury. Is not clear on formatting for assignments. Very rude and belittling toward you when asking questions about assignments. There is so much I could say about this class. Honestly, If you can avoid him do it and you'll thank me later. I don't think there is one thing in this class I would use in the future.

I read the poor reviews on Dr. Sessoms prior to taking his course as I believed it would be easier due to the fact that it was online and wouldn't require in person interactions. But it was not. He is very vague in both instructions and grading and is condescending in his reply emails as well. Don't bother asking for help or clarification either.

The most arrogant teacher I have ever had. He leaves min. instruction for most assignments and is condescending when you express any confusion, as if it is entirely your fault you do not understand the entire assignment he took all of 20 seconds to explain. SU keeping him as a fulltime teacher really affects the school badly. DO NOT TAKE HIM

Very specific guidelines and if anything is not to his standards he will give you a 0 and say that you didn't put enough effort.

He is quite possibly the worst teacher I have ever had. He is very vague when it comes to describing the assignments but if you do not do everything to his standards, he will fail you and say that you showed no effort. He is also very rude when you ask him questions about an assignment and makes you feel very dumb in his responses.

He is extremely vague when it comes to directions on assignments if you email him saying that you dont understand hell send back comments like did you read the directions? Also at the beginning he cancels a week of class and if you are at risk of failing hell send you an email saying that he wont grade any work until you met with him.

Project-based class. Gives extremely vague directions and expects extremely specific results. Condescending. Course load is very intense, would be manageable you were taking one class a semester. You will do most of your work and learning outside of the classroom.

I never once heard him say anything positive about the teaching career. A very snarky and cold man, often rude. Acts as if his class should be your absolute top and only priority, assigns large amounts of work. Expects perfection but at the same time no work is ever good enough for him. Ask questions he either answers rudely or asks you a snarky Q

I took this class with 3 other 300 level classes and this was my hardest one. There are two more class meetings and I have 7 assignments due in 9 days or less.

WORST PROFESSOR EVER. Completely terrible.

DO NOT TAKE. Can not stress enough that Sessoms is not a kind man. Not willing to work with you if you mess up in the slightest way like if you submit something incorrectly by accident. Turned in 5 assignments in one day and missed what he said ab submission ended up getting 0/100 on two big assignments that I spent nearly 12 hours on.

You couldn't pay me to take this class again... worst professor on the planet earth.

I am a good student but Dr. Sessoms made me feel like I was completely incompetent. He comes off as very arrogant and condescending. I asked a question via email and got a 10 paragraph response lecturing me about the format of my email. I said Good afternoon instead of Good afternoon Dr. Sessoms. Does not care if you pass or fail.

Awful professor. He's a tough grader without a clear rubric of what he wants. Feedback is unclear and basically meaningless. Avoid him at all costs.

Yeah... good luck with him. Things are not clearly defined in assignment details and he will fault you on the smallest thing. This is by far one of the classes I have taken here at SU. Do any and all extra credit you will need it. Show that you care and he might like you but it's still soooo hard. Ask him for advice prior to the assignment due!!

Diallo Sessoms is so selfish and truly does not care about his students. You are basically paying money for him to fail you over tiny errors. He is one of the worst professors Salisbury University has on this campus and I am truly baffled on why he has not been fired yet. I am a great student and not once have I had a professor like him before.

I am the luckiest girl in the world because I was able to drop his class after he gave me 3 zeros in a row for stuff I turned in yet he said I didn't. If you are late to his class three times then your grade will drop a letter grade. Dr. Sessoms does not make sense and does have a habit of ignoring emails. You have been warned.

Dr. Sessoms teachers very little in class. Instructions through on line videos, expects you to figure it out in your own, extremely tough grader, no grading rubric for assignment , lack of detailed expectations for assignment, can come across as condescending in emails and in person. Does not practice what he teaches.

The WORST teacher at SU. Wants perfection without giving clear instruction. Preaches the wonders of UDL and diversifying your instruction, but will give you a zero over format errors and other petty things. Emails are unhelpful at best, rude at worst, or if you're truly lucky, unresponsive. Once went three week without class. Mercy on your soul

Dr. Sessoms canceled class all the time. Out of 15 weeks he held class 6 of those weeks. His assignments are ALOT and very work heavy. Must know how to use google docs. If document is not formatted the correct way you will get an automatic zero. He does not give any directions on the assignments, he expects you to figure it all out on your own.

I've never cried over a class more in my life. Heavily project based, does not provide clear instruction. Enjoys making things difficult.

Very difficult person. SU needs to do better.

Not great at all. Definitely picks and chooses when he wants to be understanding. In his syllabus it says that no one should get an A and expects for everyone to either get a B or a C. Is super strict and doesn’t give any wiggle room for reissuing class even during a pandemic. terrible dude overall.

Worst professor at Salisbury. Professor provides no additional assistance and is disrespectful. Affects my mental health negatively. Overall an awful professor and makes SU look awful as well. Avoid this professor.

He is very unprofessional. He made me cry on countless occasions, destroyed my mental health, made rude comments, changed my grade with no explanation, refused to answer my emails and made me not want to be a teacher. He also makes you feel little and stupid. He is a very hard grader if its not done his way it is a 0. Do not take his class.

He is the worst professor I have ever had!!!!!! Stay away from him if you can!

The only thing this class taught me is what not to do in my future teaching career. His grading is unfair. He made multiple students cry in class. He was very rude to students and was always talking to them like they were idiots. He was constantly leaving class leaving students alone and confused. He honestly needs help and I hope he finds it.

I took this course a couple years ago when I was first getting started in the program. I was still very new at "college", and he would NEVER let me forget it. He was the WORST professor I have ever had. He treated me like I was stupid, and never let up. Even when he was incorrect about something, he would still make it seem like it was my fault.

Expectations are too high. Formatting is more important than the content itself.

Professor Sessoms is by far the worst professor I've had at SU. Doesn't respond to emails, and cancels classes for weeks at a time, will not be available during his office hours. Will hand out zeros, while grading very specifically with vague directions. The most difficult human I've had the pleasure of interacting with.

Cannot stand this man at all, do NOT take him if you want to keep your sanity as well as your GPA safe

0/10 Do not recommend. He provides samples and then dings you on things the sample didn't even provide. He is pesky. For an educated man, you'd never ever guess by his grammar. He is the choice for this class, so there's no avoiding him. SU should rethink his employment. He makes the Education Program look ridiculous.

The worst professor. The only way to succeed is by going to his office hours and he may let you retake assignments. Do all of the extra credit, because he is the most unfair grader so you will need it. Ask questions in class because his instructions online make no sense. Go above and beyond rubric expectations unless he will take points off.

gave me a 0/100 for using word instead of google docs to submit assignment

So sorry for whoever has to take this mans class, sending good vibes. Just do the best you can

This guy thinks he's setting up students for success with his harsh grading for the smallest mistakes. If you're gonna take this class be sure to be absolutely perfect in every way. Make sure you're never sick zero sympathy will be given, as he cancels weeks of his class when it suits him. Student will learn more about formatting than the subject.

This man will assign papers with incomplete or unclear instruction, then refuse to respond to emails, give snarky answers to questions in class and fail you for not including something he did not ask for. Arrogant and unaccusable, if anything, you'll learn what not to do as a teacher from this class.

Beware of this professor. Only take him if you absolutely have to. He favors certain students and is often dismissive or condescending toward others. Instructions are vague, grading is harsh and inconsistent, and feedback is rarely helpful. The class caused a lot of stress and confusion. It did not feel like a supportive space to learn. 0/10 DNR.

Never take him.

Not supportive at all. Makes you feel stupid in class.

Absolutely far and away the worst course instructor I have ever had. His expectations are unknown, he constantly shows little sympathy for others, and his assignments make little sense. I am graded more on how much I grovel at his feet than I am on how I accomplish the work. Please take anyone else if you can.

All the things you hear about him are 100% true. He grades you so unfairly because he never tells you what he actually wants from you in his assignments. He asks you to write about your own opinions and personal experiences, and then takes 15 points off for saying "I" too much in your assignments.

Never felt worse about myself or work than I have while taking this class. Only thing I learned was how to fake a smile while being torn apart. He will be late or cancel your meetings. He shows clear favoritism to students and ignores others. I tried my very best in this class and I am ending feeling disappointed in myself and entirely defeated.

Bad, very very bad. I didnt learn anything in the class and was constantly unmotivated to show up.

Sucked the life out of me. I did not learn anything useful and what he teaches will likely be obsolete when I start my career. Not helpful. Directions are not clear. Rude and has a superiority complex.
