I woiuldn't recommend this professor, at least for the online course. You could never get a hold of him and he grades very hard for the information he makes you think he wants. No to mention he doesn't update the grads online and it takes him 2 weeks just to give you your grades back. Good luck if you get stuck with him.

Worst teacher ever, Worst class ever. Our first assignment a 100pt paper the class average was a 52%. I got a 35%. This class was a nightmare and a waste of money. Do not take this class but if you have to do not take with ED.

Took class online. For a communication teacher, he doesn't know how to communicate very well. Don't take his class, he will have outragious assignments that are worth nothing as far as contribution to you grade. Doesn't reply back when need help, doesn't give you your grade, if you want a good grade, my suggestion is RUN!

Right from the start of the summer semester, there were issues with him responding back in a timely matter. It took several days for him to return important emails.
