he's a bit creepy and weird. And clueless. Technologically challenged.

Terrible. Stopped accepting assignments even though Blackboard went down. Very biased and not tolerant of non-liberal views. Disorganized, unhelpful, and more than a little creepy. Uncle John?????

He's a **** and a crappy teacher. Likes to talk about how he was the "first" to realise the internet's potential... how come your teaching at a community college then? Oh yeah, because you're a loser

Easy A except he never returns e-mails, doesn't respond on the discussion board and is kind of an ass

he is not helpful at all. when i have a problem with quizes, and i asked for his help through emails, it takes him a whole week to reply. and when he finally let you have a make-up test when you have technical problem, he does not give you any password to let you do the test. i will not take his class ever again.

He is vey nice becasue i have never see him face to face. At this time, i just know that i have to hand in my final draft. The interesting thing is that he hasn't grade our frist draft yet. I am so glad i have such a funny professor makes this kind of freaking joke. Actually, it's not funny at all. And he is very helpful because he never help me.

what he teaches in class and what his tests are on have nothing to do with each other. plain and simple you could never show up for this class except on test days and if you read the book thuroughly you can end up with an A. not to mention the book critique was completly wack and seems to have nothing to do with his class. it his only assingment.

This guy does not communicate...his classes are useless and disorganized.

If you like an easy grade without learning anything or without any contribution from the teacher this class is for you. Be prepared to basically read an book and teach yourself. Teacher DOES NOT COMMUNICATE! Seems lazy and not very knowledgeable about the subject matter. What a waste of time. (This was an online class)

Lazy teacher never emails back. Waste of time class. Harsh grader. Even if you answer the question and it answers everything if its not long enough for him he will mark you down a lot. He is more about fluffing than content. Waste of time.

He is an alright teacher, but thats it just ALRIGHT. The clarity of the class is terrible for as simple as it is. In this class, it is a lot of online stuff. The most recent video response hw was so bad it wouldnt even load, it was very laggy and i couldnt get the assignment done correctly. The tests are online and not even made by him

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! He is the worst teacher I have had at GRCC so far. His quizzes are extremely difficult and time consuming. He doesn't teach you anything that is on the quizzes. He grades on a scale so the few people who have taken the class before ruin everybody's grade. This class killed my perfect GPA!

Worst instructor ever. He reads everything from the text book. Quizzes are super tricky and useless for application.

This teacher is not helpful and one of the worst teachers I have ever had. He does not respond to my emails and is not helpful with students who need small accommodation. He expects you to answer 20 questions in 10 min. and makes mistakes when writing the tests. Do not take this class. EVER

I planned not to rate any professors here but I just can't stand this one. I really don't like this class. The quizzes are so hard. Even I take notes and listen to him in class I still find it hard to do the quizzes! Do not take his class!

He invites some experts to his class. So I was glad to get those oppoturnities. But, actually those made tests harder. They were taken from what they have said in the class, and such question worthed more than one question taken from the textbook. He never helped students who had gotten into trouble. Tests are so tough. Spare a lot of time.

HE QUIZZES ON SUCH SPECIFIC THINGS FROM THE TEXT BOOK. I WOULD READ THE CHAPTER AND BE ABLE TO TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT I LEARNED PRETTY WELL BUT HE GOES DEEP INTO SUCH AS DATES AND NAMES. MAKES YOU MAKE ASSUMPTIONS BASED ON THE TEXT.

This class is ridiculous. Even though it's online, it's really difficult. He expects you to read 50 pages in a week, and if you take notes and have other classes, it's almost impossible to read. I hated his class and had no interest. He also gives 10 min to answer 22 questions. Don't take this class. John is the worst teacher I've ever had.

Pointless class. He never covers anything that is on the quizzes and assigns 4 quizzes a weekend. Do not take his class.

Terrible teacher. Only gives 30 seconds per question on test and makes you read two chapters and take two tests a week. Emailed him about a problem with my test and he was rude and didn't help at all. Didn't learn a thing in this class ! I was interested in communications before this class but he made it a terrible experience.

Worst teacher I ever had. Not helpful, very rude, his way or no way, ignorant. Tough grader, hard tests, trick questions. 4 tests EVERY WEEK. He doesn't lecture on the information needed for the tests. only 2 assignments other than tests; very easy to fail. I am a straight A honors student and I failed this class. NO LATE WORK TONS OF HOMEWORK

Worst teacher I've had, online class is horrible, most of the students on the site do not understand the quizzes. 10 min for 22 problems and the questions are "finely combed" questions. Will not let you make up work if you signed up late (even if you were dropped), rude in person & email, refused to give me references to study for his tests/quizzes

I signed up for mass media to learn more, this class ruined my interest. It's all in book, some podcasts. tests are 10% major points in the 50 page chapter and 90% minor details that are not in bold or italicized. Did not help students when they asked for help on online forum. Refuses to give out a study guide/materials other than the book.

Online class, asked for help multiple times in person and through e-mail, he does not work with students. Tests are ridiculous 10 min for 23 questions that are not major points covered in the book. Waste of $150

This class is the only class I have ever had a low grade in. It consists of quizzes every weekend and an essay every few weeks. I have never seen such useless quizzes. They are based on the book and ask very very very specific questions. I read the whole chapter, watched all podcasts/videos, made 4 pages of notes (small writing), but still failed

Unfair grader and clarity of instructions is muddy at best. Questions on quizzes and essay prompts do not explain his expectations well, and are often focused on obscure material barely covered in text or lecture. Expects you to be fully media-literate at the beginning of the course and able to read between the lines. Would not recommend.

If you signed up for this class, just go and drop it now. On the recorded lectures you hear him struggle with the equipment and fool with his dog more than you actually learn, tests are so specific, 30 seconds per question, only open for 3 days, and the guy is just hopelessly scattered. Teachers like this cause people to quit school in my opinion

Immensely difficult class due to his ill organization and unclear grading. He rarely replies to emails that are asking for help, and when responding he is wrote in such a pretentious manner it made me uncomfortable to seek the help I wanted from him. This by far was the worst class I have ever taken and will never take a online class because of it.

His online Journalism class was great. I loved it, it was easy, and clear but on the writing assignments he would grade very harshly. I had an English prof. proof read my assignments and got on average, a C. His communications class was awful. I've never had a worse class. Four 50+ question quizzes WEEKLY on two 30+ page chapters.

Very rude, i felt very scared to talk in the class because he is the type to belittle you if you aren't correct. You might as well drop the class because it is not a good learning environment at all. His quizzes were given even though you learned absolutely nothing in the class

This class by far is the worst class taught at Green River Community College. Please never ever take this class.

This guy is off the walls. Like the other reviews say he responds to emails very rarely and when he does, he talks down to you. There were way to many quizzes in this class, and the book was little help. Google on the other hand was very helpful. Don't take this class, I seriously considered withdrawing without a refund to get out of this mess.

He would take forever to grade a paper, then expected to re turn in the paper after we preformed his suggestions but would ask for a lot including multiple interviews over the weekend

4 quizzes per week, 2 of which are 35-40 questions, on top of other assignments and tests on the book, its ridiculously overkill

worst class i have ever taken in my entire life

John was a horrible prof. He was a very tough grader. For one assignment I had the exact same answer he wanted but with one extra word and he only gave me half the credit. I wouldn't suggest this class to anyone. Take interpersonal communications instead!

Terrible. Doesn't thoroughly explain the assignment requirements and punishes you for his lack of clarity.

Does not thoroughly explain what is necessary for his 3-5 WEEKLY quizzes.

I will never take another course directed by him again. His online Mass Media course consist of reading the book and, well that is really it. He is not great at explaining anything and if you ask for guidance or help he just becomes frustrated with you, which is really discouraging.

Please avoid him

3-5 quizzes/tests a week, sometimes giving you two chapters of the textbook to read in only a few days. The test questions on canvas were ridiculous, and timed to give you only a minute to thirty seconds for each question. Sometimes multiple extra articles/videos to read every week. Hes a good lecturer, but his class has an outrageous workload.

Can't decide when assignments are actually due (kind of inportant.) Tests include question on content that was never assigned. Vague test questions, with multiple answers that could work, so you basically have to guess which o e he went with. Not consistent.

Heavy workload. Didn't respond to emails. If you had a question, he'll talk you down and it's discouraging

He is very particular about what he likes in terms of writing; follow his feedback word-for-word and you'll get the credit. Don't buy the textbook-quizzes are on the website which are the same as on Canvas. There is a short time limit, with 3 a week. VERY BAD AT REPLYING ON TIME. He will take at least 3 days. Come up with backup topics for papers.

I was dropped out of the class and then registered again. I realized that I lost 2 assignments which was 95 points but he said to me no make up. If you study this class, you better get ready for reading 2 chapters for a few days. The quizzes are all about small stuffs that are not in capital or bold. PLEASE AVOID THIS PROFESSOR.

Awful. Avoid this class at all costs. I dropped out after my second test. He doesnt reply to you, he gives you absolutely no instruction and doesnt teach you whatsoever. Expects you to sit and analyze the textbook for hours which when you do it never even matches the test you take.

Don't ever expect a response from him. His comments back to you on assignments are rude and pointless. It was evident to me that he is truly incompetent at his job due to the course not even being set up correctly at the start of the quarter. I had many issues with his class. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Knowltons class is easy simply because all of his quizzes are taken from quizlet. I had an emergency and it caused me to miss a deadline. Even though I had completed it and gave him a reason as to why it was late, he refused to accept it. He looks at you as a name on a paper, not a human. Avoid him and all of his classes.

I try to be a really positive person but Knowlton is a terrible teacher. Im taking his class during the quarantine, you d think hed respond to my emails or questions but Ive gotten no response all quarter. Were graded on few things. 2 papers (rough& final) each and textbook hw. The txt book hw is a joke. Avoid this professor!

I really tried to like this class. I didn't learn a thing about journalism. The only thing I learned was to be on my toes when it came to his erratic schedule. Save yourself the hard work and don't take this class! Even if you have the desire to write for The Current, don't. It'll save you time, frustration, and heartbreak. Do NOT take this prof!

I am taking his JOURN 101 class quarantine style. A Journalism story every 2 weeks. And three quizzes a week. The quizzes are very difficult and you have little to no time to do them. 8 min to answer 16 questions. He doesn't know what he is doing. And he feels very strongly on his political opinions, and is not open to different opinions.

Not the teacher to go to if you WANT to like journalism. Way too many tests (3 a week, little time to do so on each one) which are all from Quizlet, yet very nitpicky when it comes to your writings. Quite harsh and blunt. YALL, SAVE. YOURSELF. TIME.
