Heavily favors students particularly the male students. Very Unorganized for a Management Professor, what is on the syllabus is not what he plans to follow, 4 open book quests ended up being 0% of our grades instead added a final near the end of the semester. No lectures just online classes to discuss what will happen the next class.
WORST Professor you could ever get! Do whatever you can not to take this incompetent losers class. Gives ZERO feedback and is an absolute abomination to the teaching profession. He's arrogant and so unorganized and all he does is blame his students and rips on them. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!! Because of this guy I've had to drop my first ever class.
For some reason Kerry's old RMP profile disappeared. Weird. Kerry was a tough, but fair grader. If you checked every single box on his syllabus/rubrics you will get an easy 100 on projects. God help you if you miss any little thing as he will hammer your grade hard. I had a verbal presentation run about 1:30 short and I lost about 40% of grade.
Worst teacher ever! Does not teach anything ever! Instead tells you to work on your project and says he'll help, and then does not help in any way whatsoever. He also will yell at students for asking "stupid questions". Do NOT take his class!
I formerly submitted a review for Kerry, but it looks like it has disappeared. I had Kerry in my first semester at NAIT and was shocked at the quality of instruction. He was very unclear about assignments, condescending in emails, and berated students in front of the class. Make sure to study the textbook and submit all homewrk early for feedback!
This prof is really tough and kind of mean. He doesn't use a respectful tone and is rude to students when they ask questions. He has a 3 month-long, difficult group project and will give students a zero. I didn't appreciate his "This is a difficult class and I don't care if you fail!" attitude. Teachers should want their students to pass the class!
Kerry is the first bad instructor that I have encountered at NAIT. He is an extremely tough grader and provided little to no feedback. He also seemed to enjoy teaching in a hostile/confrontational learning environment. I would recommend avoiding him if you care about your GPA
He's just Terrible no other way to put it. Unorganized, doesn't teach, and just doesn't care about students. No idea how this guy is allowed to teach. Don't take the class if you want to pass or a good GPA.
The best instructor, I had so far. A lot of students don't do well in his class, but they don't ask questions. He follows a clear grading rubric so just meet the criteria and you would pass with flying colors. I had a 10 minute presentation and was one minute short and got docked 1 point /10 percent, but I expected it as it was stated in the rubric
This guy should not be a professor at all. His marking system is worse. Do not take him at all.
Instructors should be like to pass their students, and here is like hes not gonna pass even if his mistake. You are not gonna live a peaceful life ruining a career of student. What goes around comes around.
AVOID Terrible instructor, if you check these reviews it means you care about the quality of who teaches you and this man is the lowest possible. I highly urge you to avoid Kerry at all costs. Kerry's course layout was incredibly scattered and incredibly unorganized. Email replies feel degrading and rude, as well as his feedback on assignments.
I took his class in 2020. Kerry was rude and usually seemed annoyed. I'm going into my third year (I've made the Dean's list every term so far) and he is still the worst instructor I had. If you have the opportunity to drop his class I would strongly reccomend it. If you're reading this to your students KC, please cheer up and try to be better. :)
gives minmal to no usefull feedback. makes you feel life crap if you ask him something to be clear on more than twice.
I will never suggest this professor to anyone of you. Especially if you are an international student. The way he teaches is not ever understandable.
Seems to have a genuine disdain for his students. Incredibly tough grader, will berate you in front of class if you ask questions. I only wish I had dropped this class before the deadline. Kerrys instruction makes me want to completely drop out of NAIT. Do not take a class from this instructor!
If you are an international student, I would strongly recommend dropping his classes. He is a complete racist. Please avoid him at any cost.
Very tough grader, also makes degrading comments to international students. Avoid him or drop his class at all costs.
This was the easiest outline to follow. Kerry give clear instruction posted, records everything so you can play it back before handing things in. Our group loved the hand in during the term. Nothing usually gets done on group projects when hand in is at the end of the term. Not sure why the feedback comments as our group got feedback 5 times
I liked the recordings. Everything is recorded and as an International student, the time zone difference makes it hard to get up for class. In this one everything is recorded so I can watch when I am awake
Kerry is the saddest excuse for a leader. He gives condescending feedback that makes you feel stupid and incapable rather than helpful and supportive. He says he gives clear grading rubrics but fails you even if you ask questions, seek help, and follow all the instructions. Frankly I would hope to never see him again around school. No respect
I had all my assignments reviewed before they were due. The feedback he provided was great and then I fixed things and got over 90 on all my assignments. I would take his classes again if he does that in other courses also
Kerry took over for our old instructor to finish the course. I wish he had been our instructor the whole time, our group procrastinated but in Kerrys class, he said he does multiple hand ins of the project so we are not stressed at the end of the term. only had a couple lectures but great stories to make boring material interesting
Just finished the last presentation. This class is different as you have to talk about yourself. Take advantage of the teacher, he will ensure you do everything his way in order to get an A. He is predictable
liked the recorded lectures and the one on one help Kerry provided. He was always there to help - but only if you attempted the questions first
He is the most inconsiderate professor I know. He brags about being one of the best professors at NAIT when he is the opposite of what he says. He is very mean to students. He gives horrible criticisms instead of constructive ones. Drop his class as early as possible. Avoid him at all cost
The only instructor in my 2 years of study that I hate the most. He is the only instructor who will stop you from asking questions in the class. Kerry insult you in front of the whole class. His lectures are never helpful so be prepared for exams. As an international student, he is the reputation spoiler for NAIT.
I didn't get the chance to rate 0 but I would really rate him zero. The only professor in NAIT that will disrespect you for asking the question. He will tell you that I don't care if you fail the class. My personal experience says that You will be stuck in his class with hundreds of doubts. There are many other instructors who care abothe students.
I wish he used the moodle more effectively. The drop boxes are from last year and may not pull up on the calendar, so it is easy to miss assignments. I'm afraid I disagree with talking badly about students who are not present or are failing the course. The moodle should be more up to date, but drop boxes remain closed or are open for brief periods.
One of the bad teachers I met. never take this instructor
Sad excuse for a leader. Talks badly about students on a regular basis, constantly late to classes. Should not be teaching a leadership course when he doesn't follow what he teaches.
If you're a self-directed learner, Kerry is fine. The major problem is he never covers content from the textbook or topics in lectures. Lectures are only used to cover what is due, which is already accessible through the instructor announcements section in Moodle. This class should be taught by an actual leader.
His online class was OK until he stopped teaching after two weeks and forced us to watch pre-recorded lectures in class; if someone had a question, he would answer in a condescending tone. Instead of teaching, he bragged about being a lecturer and running his own business. Then he began to target students and vent his anger on them. Don't recommend
He berated a student three weeks in and told her she'd never be successful in business because her mic was damaged, despite the fact that she emailed him before class. Two weeks later, the entire class had to go to admin and seek a new lecturer since he bullied everyone. We were all switched out; It was the worst prof experience I've ever had.
Pathetic excuse for a professor.
Non compassionate, patient, or understanding. He has made people I know that were students of his think about giving up in a lot areas of life. He makes people feel less then if they are not meeting an intelligence of his magnitude. It is an absolute disgrace to education that nait continues to keep such a person hired on to "edcucate".
be very carefull.
Kerry Couet is very rude and disrespectful. If you ask him a question, he will shame you in front of the whole class. I'm shocked by his lack of professionalism.
Avoid at all costs. Walking red flag. Degrading and rude to students and a bully in private. He has a terrible structure for assignments and will give you a 0 on things he clearly didn't read. Threatens students with failing and belittles anyone for even asking questions.
Kerry is by far the worst instructor at NAIT. Students who typically get a 4.0 but fail your class - what does that say about you as a teacher? Yes, I know you read these and think they are funny. This isn't just being a disgruntled student if you are consistently getting this message year after year, while other Profs are rated highly.
I think he is detailed and very simple. Kerry was always so accommodating with questions and even sent weekly class reminders, I thought that was very detailed for him to do. I suggest focusing on his instructions because it's evident when people don't, sometimes two people ask the same thing consecutively, so obviously that can be vexing.
Listen to what he tries to say then you will get A. He is super detailed on mark criteria, but if you follow the specific requirements, then he will easily pass you. Also, it's about logical writing on your group project, not just a high vocabulary assignment. Compare and contrast the case you given. Again, it's about logical writing.
He is the worst instructor ever. I don't know why NAIT still keeps him despite his low ratings. For a group project, he'll fail you and give no feedback at all. If you ask questions, he will answer in a sarcastic way or in a rude way. I am very upset because I study hard, but the group project percentage pulls my grade down.
Terrible instructor, deserves to be let go
No consideration to International Students
Take this instructor if you want to get failed.
Don't understand why he isn't the worst rated prof on this site. Doesn't teach anything, and makes you feel dumb for asking questions. Would not recommend to even my worst enemy.
He would not answer your question, all the assignment and final exam date on moodle is wrong. He set his own rules for everything, he tends to make things complex. When we ask questions, he choose to complain students for not paying enough attention. Things are not the same with course syllabus. If you want a hard time go choose his course.
The reason societies backbone (Young people) have become so uninterested in pursuing education is because of men like Kerry Couet. No one wants to listen to his boring lectures, a man with no personal success whatsoever, no big achievements. How can he possibly be teaching a mass of students who want to be successful. Kerry, retire...
Not approachable. Does not take schooling as a learning curve but instead imposes his own view of the real world in his imagination and experience. Student care zero. Even though I received B, I would never ever take his class again. You just end up not the class and paying your student loaned money. Ask around.
I'm surprised he is still in NAIT, this is the reason I say NAIT is not the student's side.They don't read feedback and students' concerns.I waste my money, and educators who destroy students' motivation to study shouldn't be said as educators.There was only a scar from his lecture,I am not happy I am studying at NAIT.They only care for themselves.
Very tough grader and it is not so motivating when he gives feedback. Whenever you ask questions he would reply with "you should be more engaged" instead of answering the question directly. I would never recommend him. Due dates are not updated in Moodle. He would say he has clear rubrics but there isn't any rubric posted in his Moodle site.
cheeks
I have never written a review but if you care about yourself you should not take him as your professor. He doesn't give clear instructions and leaves you guessing what to do. In addition, he doesn't give any feedback until the end and the last written piece is to basically point out all the flaws in your group members. PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS!
Nahhhhhhhhhhhhh
I would not recommend taking his class. He is not very approachable and appears bothered by any questions asked. Is not very understanding or considerate. I can't imagine if I was a student just starting out with an online class and wasn't fully aware of everything and needed clarification more then one time. Don't do it.
WARNING: DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY'S CLASS UNLESS YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR MONEY ON GARBAGE EDUCATION. He teachers Organizational Behaviour but he does a very poor job in keeping his class intact as well as teaching. Majority of the students in my class despise him and his ways of “teaching.” In fact, no one considers him a “teacher,” he's just there.
Save your time and money, don't take this guy's class
BEWARE: Individual is not worthy of being called a teacher.
“Please don't take this mans class” (Everyone, P. 81)
RUNNNN!!! Save yourself. If you care about your sanity. SAVE YOURSELF!!!!!
L Teacher.
I could've saved myself the 600 I spent on this class
Worse teacher ever.
Just hell no!
Mr. Kerry Cauet lacks empathy and practicality. Professors should provide constructive, empathetic feedback and consider real-life constraints. His approach was discouraging and stressful. #Save your mental health #Never again to this Professor
Do not take this professor if you love your life and if you're want to actually have a good learning experience. This is not the Prof to take. I'd take any other Prof twice but would never take him.
he never really teaches his class or explains anything apart from the assignments he gave. Tough grader and rude
Took 3 classes with him. He's not very hard, but he's a bland teacher with little value to offer.
Avoid at all costs.
Do not take. Worst instructor possible.
don't choose if taking online and want to pass
I mean, look at the reviews. Kerry Couet was a terrible professor. Has a mean streak to him, does not care to help you, and would love to see you fail. Please take it from me, a student of his classes, that you should ABSOLUTELY avoid him. Do not waste your time. If any admin from NAIT read this, please save your students from him.
Kerry Couet was a hellsent nightmare upon students, a non-caring backhanded grader that doesn't care about the importance of his job. Failing straight A students isn't an accomplishment or success in battle of whits, it is a failure to the professor.
Bullying the future of your country shouldn't be awarded, I hope you get fired. I hope NAIT saves it's students from his tyranny and hatred. YOU NEED TO LEAVE!
WHOEVER GAVE THIS GUY 5/5 IS NOTHING MORE THAN A PAID PUPPET
Not sure who is review him, there were no pop quizzes? He meet with our group and marked our group.project before the due date. We fixed things and got 100%
Was a remote class but instructor always willing to meet within a day. Very helpful with a fluffy course with confusing marking guidelines.
Explains why we do things in this class so we can succeed. Had to compete against others students but only for 15% of cpurse.
Very difficult to pass
He doesn't help students and doesn't wants that student get marks and get pass . He is awful I don't suggest to take me again
This instructor is unbelievable in grading the students. He is not literally tough grader instead he doesn't know how to grade right the students. He seems has a discrimination along with his students. If he doesn't like you to pass he will. He keeps looking for mistake that seems not a mistake just to justify how he got the point to grade you low.
The course is easy to pass if you understand how BSG works and know what you are doing. You need to explain your decisions in presentations, and if your questions and answers make sense, you will do well. The instructor knows the material very well. Students usually get low marks when they do not understand how to use BSG or explain their strategy.
He is worst professor I had in my whole life . He doesn't want to pass anyone if someone make some questions he gets mad and make sure the person doesn't pass his course. He just copy paste feedback and gives 0 .
