Doesn't explain things well, gets off subject constantly and easily, only grade is based on three tests, UGGGGHHHH... the class sucked and I couldn't wait for it to get over!

Terrible teacher. Unclear about subject matter and easily gets off topic. Held a review class on Sunday (when the class is normally held on MWF)beofre finals.

Unhelpful, uninterested in student success, emails not answered promptly, quizzes not from reading and did not make sense. Overall very poor and unprofessional.

This is the most boring class I have ever taken. Teacher not very helpful and handouts are bad.

I did not like him. I took him online and he was so frustrating. We had weekly quizes and he would say "Chapter 7 Quiz" and I would study then go to take it and it was over a whole different chapter. This didn't just happen once, but happened for more than half of the quizes. I'd recommend a different teacher.

Worst prof. I have had in 3 years of college. My advice is to RUN, do not walk away from this class.

By far the worst teacher I have taken in my two years at chemeketa. Very off topic during lectures, unusual teaching methods, hard exams, textbook did not help. Barely got a D in his class and I am an A student, very upset I cant believe I paid for this class. You could walk into the class and not no what hes teaching. Do not recommend him.

RUN!!!! If you want to get your first "D", this is the class for you. Confusing online EC201 course, I wish I had never taken. A waste of my time and now I need to take the class over to get a "C" to graduate. Do youself a favor and save a lot of heartache on worthless proctored tests, etc. Ugh!!!

Kevin was terrible. On his assignment sheet he posted that the first quiz is due wk 3. I sent it in and kept up with the homework. He dropped me wk 4 saying that I should have turned the first quiz in wk 2 - bcuz that's whats on the syllabus. I'm a straight A student who lost my financial aid for this term bcuz of him!! He's so inconsiderate.

I am a straight A student on the President's list. This guy is hands down the worst online professor I have ever seen. My gpa is in jeopardy thanks to Fury's disorganized and inadequate teaching ability. Students Beware! Stay away from this professor. He needs to be fired and replaced immediately.

Furey grades BASED SOLELY ON TESTS. A little more than 1/3 of my class would fail if he didn't grade on a curve. There are no written assignments due nor extra credit options. He is unforgiving. He does not write clearly yet about about 1/3 the reading assignments are his own writings/videos about economics - which often contradict the text used.

Furey is a terrible professor and he teaches his class backwards... You don't get to see the lecture until AFTER you take the quiz! You only get 10 min for 8 lengthy questions, and I ran out of time on every quiz. He doesn't allow make ups on ANYTHING, worst of all he's just plain cold and doesn't care if his students learn or succeed :(

Took his online class. INCREDIBLY unorganized. Isn't helpful to any questions at all. This was supposed to be an introductory course, and everything was way over my head. Would not recommend.

Mr. Furey doesn't teach, he rants. Nearly everyday he started the class by showing up late and then occasionally would complain about this that and the other. When he finally started lecturing, he wouldn't stop. Everyday was lecture day and me being a visual learner found it very difficult to grasp what he was saying.

Furey is my least favorite teacher I have ever had. His lectures are horrible, he words questions terribly, grades extremely tough (when you can't understand the question because of poor wording) and he is so inconsiderate to a student in need of help. When approached, he is nothing but rude The whole class would fail if it wasn't for the curve.

Hate this class so much. This grading is fair but you just need to pay attention his class and he gives extra points on the exam. I would not take him. Exams are hard sometimes they do not make sense at all. Easy class to fail.

He is a nice guy but if you like long lectures and your instructor going on tangents about his college years and talking about the production of the wizard of oz before a exam that is graded heavy he might be the teacher for you. Did i also forget to mention there are no makeup tests and there is a total of 3 exams so if you take him good luck!

This teacher can't teach at all. His lectures are long and he mumbles a lot. I've received a D on every test he's given us. No matter how many notes I took and no matter how much I studied I couldn't get my grade to at least a C. Overall terrible teaching style, he shouldn't be a teacher if a majority of his students fail or get D's. Unacceptable.

He liked lectures so you had to watch online recorded lectures that didn't match the text book he wrote, and because he wrote it and recorded the lectures, you couldn't look to the internet to help, because that didn't match his lessons. He wouldn't help if you email him. Most of the tutoring center took Yoder and was lost when it came to this.

This class was a nightmare. Our final grades were just posted today and I'm devastated. I'm grateful that I passed with a D but that's only due to the HEAVY curve that he does. The textbook will not help you. You're better off just writing out your own notes (and even then good luck following his questions/curriculum).

For this class, you use the textbook he wrote and on the quizzes he will ask things like, "According to the author..." which, as I said, is himself. He will also ask you to remember what specif people said from the chapters and provides a reference at the end of every chapter so you can see who he references, except that person isn't listed. Avoid!

Does not give good feedback, and is not helpful. Lots of writing errors in textbooks as well that HE WROTE

Hello

Incomprehensible writing in the textbook he wrote himself and his tests are no different. Pretty sure he teaches just to fail students and give himself an ego boost because he's "so smart" no one can pass his class. I'm an A student and have only gotten C's on every test. Long winded chapters and he loses track of what he's talking about, so awful.

Wrote his own textbook, which isn't bad (some typos but not unreadable). Problem is questions on tests are oddly worded and confusing. Random questions about small parts in the textbook that aren't even key points. Feels like the questions are designed to trick you. Tests averaging C. This should be an easy class. Don't bother with the lectures.

wish i would have looked here first cause this is definitely not a professor you want. he decides to make the question as difficult as possible(quizzes) he gives you different answers that all seem right. he doesn't even bother to email for anything . his book has a lot of spelling errors and unless you're the teacher good luck passing.

The book is hard to follow. The lectures are worthless. He talks so fast there's no time to take notes and he doesn't do powerpoints. He loves drawing diagrams on the board. The handouts he gives for each class are suppose to help but he can't even follow that through the lecture. The quizzes and exams are set up to make you fail.

One of the worst teachers Ive ever had if you even want to call him a teacher, he doesnt teach you anything he just tells you and expects you to know things, he doesnt have a lesson plan and just talks for 2 hours. He hands us a sheet of paper and expects us to learn from it while hes talking. Worst teacher Ive ever had I do not recommend.

Worst professor I've ever had. If I could rate him a zero I would. He makes you read his extremely boring book and gives really hard exams. I am a straight-A student and I have never had such a tough exam for an entry-level economics course. He can't stop talking with his hands in his videos which makes it unbearable to even watch.

Quizzes, a midterm, and a final. Sounds simple, but his quizzes are only 8 questions, so missing one question is 87%. Spent 4+ hours reading a chapter, and would still average 5/8, being an A-student. The average midterm score was 45/100, which should let him know that his questions are too difficult, but he's the only instructor for this class.

His quizzes, midterm and final are in fact "open book", but that won't help you. His questions are extremely complex. Not only will you need to read all of the assigned readings, but you'll need to read them thoroughly, and maybe even more than once to truly prepare you for a quiz, midterm or final. Hardest 200 level class I've ever taken. 0/10

Lectures often contradict the assigned book. Diagrams are often hand-drawn & illegible - both in video and also used in quizzes/exams. Questions for quizzes/exams are confusing, some must match material to a T, others are generalized with no indicator between the two. Much of the exam time is just hunting on multiple choice Q's that have 8 options.

The questions on his quizzes are ridiculous and very tough.

This instructor gives 2 heavily weighted quizzes per week. 8 questions with a total of 8 points possible. 16 minutes to complete. Each wrong answer knocks you down a letter grade. He will check the class average at the end. If its below 80% for EVERY quiz, he will grade on a curve. You can read all of the material and still fail. Discouraging.

Professor Furey was very reliant on his book, which makes it hard because you wont know what he wants and he also isnt very explicit on what he does want on the quizzes. His quizzes are timed very short and very hard.

Professor Furey has incredibly difficult quizzes and tests designed to confuse students. His questions are based off flippant sentences of the text and rarely on big ideas. He called me nitpicky after I questioned him on a quiz answer. He said an example of a liability was the definition of it. He wrote the textbook so I had to quote him to him.

By far the worst class I have ever taken. He only grades you on quizes and his quizes are designed for you to fail. The textbook is a textbook that he wrote himself so his quiz questions are based off of similar ideas and you cant find it in the text (usually about small details and not big picture). Nice guy but his class is hard

Horrible teacher & class. The class is based off his own book, thus there are no other resources you can find online for additional information researching the class. I hope you like reading a crappy text book and answering quizzes that almost feel like they want to make you fail. Quizzes are only 1 try and hard to decipher. DONT TAKE THIS CLASS!

Uses his own textbook. Test heavy, grade only consists of tests, midterm, and final. I had an F until the midterm for reference. It is open note, but the tests are designed to confuse you and be difficult. I could not recommend him to anyone, my experience was awful for this class. I regret not looking at this site before registering for his class.

Only grades quizzes, midterms and final exams. Response when I asked him for help with the content was "study harder". Doesn't know how to properly use a computer. Can't remember what is in the textbook. Class was disappointing, its based off of his opinions. Didn't teach he's there to be a paper pusher. DONT waste money on this man's class.

Professor would rather give students free points that they did not earn than adjust his curriculum. He teaches from his own book and phrases things in a way that is intentionally difficult to understand - then when the class tests poorly he gives free points away to keep himself from looking bad (or something) 0/10 DO NO RECCOMEND

My review has been taken down twice because I've quoted his textbook. Some points he makes are good, like how news corporations won't talk too poorly on other corporations because then they lose ad money. But most of the rest of the class is hostility and unfair representations of opposing ideas. EC201 & 202 have little to do with this class.

Was not understanding, doesn't offer extra credit or retakes on anything. He wouldn't round up my grade the 1% I needed to pass this class.

The worst grade I've ever gotten. I had 3.8 in high school, and 4.0 in my pre-reqs for Nursing School... I took this as an elective for Clackamas cc. His study guides were easy.. book was decent to understand... but the quizzes are HARD. I reached out to him in the 2nd week of term because I was concerned... he just told me to read slower.
