That being said, if you do the work to the standard he is fair with his grading but he does not give it away. He provides great feedback, grades in a reasonable time and is all around great.

His instructions on open book tests (timed) are unclear and his grading is ambivelent.

Dr. Deel is amazing. He's always available, and he is so enthusiastic about his subjects that you can't help but be caught up in that enthusiasm. His tests are somewhat hard. They aren't impossible, but you must study and read a lot. He's a fair grader, and he listens. Dr. Deel is a professional and great mentor. I loved being in his class.

I did the work and I got the grade. I am sure if you don't do the work, then you won't get the grade. The professor was great and I honestly did enjoy this class.

As with ALL APUS courses, participation posts (and responses) are necessary. The assignments are easy, and can actually be quite creative and fun. The rubric is clear, and the instructor is one of the few here that is genuinely fantastic. This course is a no-brainer, and the instructor is not at all pretentious or difficult.
