He's a character. Hard class, Hard material. It's your call. I loved him and hated him.

This class was the easiest I've ever had! If you need an easy grade take him, but you gotta put up with the most boring classes you could ever imagine, and I mean THE MOST.

Most boring teacher ever. Can't lecture and doesn't care to hear students' views.

Thinks too much of himself and way too little about his students. He is a terrible speaker and is very opinionated. I wish he would talk about the subject more than give his biased opinions about everything from Arabs to Walmart. Can't but wonder why this man is teaching at all.

what a joke!

He gets a definite F from me.

Take my advice, take anybody but this guy. He's big time bad, bad at everything he does.

Doesn't teach, doesn't respect his subject, and dislikes students. Take anybody but this dude.

This man should be pumping gas, not attempting to be a college professor. In class, he was seldom prepared, was full of himself, wouldn't allow questions. His tests did not cover what he did in class. He did not cover more than half of what the course catalog says we'd cover. So don't take him for a college, but maybe if you need gas.

Without doubt, he is the worst teacher I've had since high school. In fact, he reminds me the the coaches who were assigned classes to teach even though they didn't know anything about the subjects. We students had to put up with teachers ignorant of the subject back then, who would expect that the same in college? What does McTighe coach, anyway?

An intersting subject made boring and incomprehensible by Dr. McTighe. He has no respect for other views as seen in his choices of lecture topics and as seen in his daily hostile attitude towards students and their questions. DO NOT TAKE THIS MAN EVER!

McTighe is arrogant, demeaning and is totally full of himself. His teaching is extremely ineffective He spends 9 hours going over the freaking syllabus. He refuses from students, those who dare comment are ripped to shreds. I would not recommend him to anyone.

BAD BAD BAD. Spent 4 WEEKS on the syllabus. Had to take last 2 of 3 exams in the last 3 days of class, and that is BEYOND UNACCEPTABLE. Holds us to standards that he does not hold himself to. VERY UNORGANIZED lectures for note taking. Had to redo my notes after every single class. I would recommend him to people I hate.

For the love of god... Don't take this man, ever! Spent FOUR WEEKS on syllabus. Talks down to students. Flaunts his "PhD from Northwestern". Makes you buy a textbook, and then tells you everything in it is wrong. Plus he smells funny, so don't sit in the front row.

Evidence that being able to earn a degree does not make one particularly intelligent. McTighe knows what he's talking about. The problem is that he's the only one really following it. Egotistical, arrogant, insulting, and utterly incomprehensible. Save your money for a better class.

This guy rambles on about things that have nothing to do with Critical Reasoning. He's a lunatic and even said one day that he's crazy and he knows it. Rambles on about how he has a PhD and doesn't need to be teaching at a Community College; very big ego on this guy; avoid at all costs.

Rambles a lot. Lectures about the same thing multiple times. Crams three tests in three weeks because he forgets where he left off. First test is hard, last two are easy. Pop quizzes suck. He's offending occasionally, too. And he doesn't work with you at all for personal emergencies. Not a fan.

As an adult conservative student I was very offended by his political opinions. They were unrelated to the subject. You can tell his agenda was to persuade the unexposed young minds. He also spits when he lectures so don't sit in front row. Taught me nothing, but how to get through a semester without dropping! Horrible

I had the misfortune of taking 2 classes of his in one semester. The first few weeks of class consisted of studying the syllabus and taking a test on it. Yes, you read that correctly. WEEKS on just the SYLLABUS! During the last three weeks of class, he would attempt to teach us several chapters of information on Monday and then test us on Wednesday

He was the worst professor I have had in my college career. His lectures are long and he repeats himself many times. It will take six classes just to get through the syllabus! Absolutely no technology and he crams all 3 tests and 1 project into the last three weeks of class. Rude to students and doesn't understand this is not the only class we have

Firstly - read below. It's true - 3 weeks on the syllabus. At least. I had to try my hardest to stay awake in class. He repeats himself CONSTANTLY. RUDE! Barked at me for RAISING my hand to have him repeat something for my notes. AWFUL!! Asked us for our annual salary & religion among other questions on an index card. DROPPED. I'd avoid this class.

I had him for 2 classes in a semester (HUM 115 + 205) He injects his own opinion into the lecture content and takes entire class periods to describe one idea. We fell so far behind in 205 that we dropped a test worth 15% from our grade. Had 1 assignment from textbook between the 2 classes. Overall unpleasant personality but an easy grader.

He does not budget his time we'll and falls weeks behind schedule. We got so far behi Dr that we only have one class between out 2nd test and the final and he expectsaid us to learn all of the material for the final on our own.

He is the worst teacher I have ever taken. We took about 4 weeks on just the syllabus. He repeats himself constantly and always runs out of time forcing us to stay 4 min after class has ended. If you get up and leave he gets mad and calls you out. He crams 3 tests the last week of the semester since he was to busy getting distracted.

if you want to feel dumb and be talked down to, then take his class. Asking questions or answering questions will usually result in some sort of discouraging response. wants things in class his way. will call students out for "garbage" answers or responses to questions. won't accept a test until the answers are how he wants them

McTighe is very confusing. We spent the first month just going over the syllabus, with some material thrown around during his lectures. He's very old school and prefers paper and pencil over everything. I've taken mythology courses before and have always done well in them, but I had to drop this class because he was too all over the place for me.

This is the worst class Ive ever taken. Rude, degrading, and very disrespectful. ZERO organization. I walked away from this class with absolutely NOTHING. Went over the syllabus for 4 weeks at least. Had 1 exam mid course. Then 3 the last 2 weeks of class. Oh, u dont know ur grade the whole time either and if u ask him, he gets defensive.

Teacher is very degrading. Only 3 test, & pop quizzes the first weeks. Did not enjoy or learn anything. Never taking his classes again. The topic was interesting, but he spoke to his students very aggressively & again, VERY degrading. Very specific on how you wrote or what you wrote with(pen or pencil). Notes,tests, finals,quizzes ALL handwritten.

Out of all the teachers that I've had, McTighe is the most rudest and boring teacher that I have ever had. He lectures for the entire 75 minutes. No powerpoint. No visuals. His lectures are extremely boring, and lack organization. After every fact he states, he says the word "Alright". I've counted up to 248 in one class period (75 minutes).

I was very disappointed with competitive religions. I was hoping to learn about various religions and we didnt learn about a single religion.

I was really excited for this class because I love mythology, but this professor was the worst one Ive ever had. His pop quizzes are 5 questions, you have no choice but to get all of them right if you want a good grade, get 2 wrong and its already a bad grade. His lectures made no sense, no matter how many times i rewatched. Dont take his class.

Not at all as advertised. Expected to learn about actual mythology, but we ended up going over the definition of the analysis of texts. The only myth we read was Oedipus, and you had to research another myth on your own for 10% of your final grade. Didn't learn anything about mythology, only about the terms used in professional myth analysis.

Not what was given in the course description, expected to learn about mythology but ended up learning about his beliefs and why they are right

BEWARE.I only lasted in his class 2 days to know all I needed to know. He's older and it seems like when he talks it never really reaches a conclusion? or even a main idea? I've gone through his syllabus several times, and nothing makes sense. No type of organization. Don't take his class unless you ABSOLUTELY need it.

I expected to learn about mythology but ended up learning nothing related to mythology and mostly just learned about his own definitions of words. We barely knew and did anything until the last second of the semester. Cramps everything in the last minute. Quizzes and tests made no sense. Very hard to pay attention to the lectures.

Lectures are impossible to pay attention to. He doesn't write on the board, and his assignments are disorganized. Tests make no sense. Should just quit teaching in general. Has no sense of humor. Makes no attempt at making the class entertaining or engaging.

doesn't know how to do his job.

Very Boring talks very slow and quiet. Makes no attempt to make the class engaging/entertaining. Barely writes anything down on the board which makes lectures hard to follow, and you pretty much have to guess what to write for notes. Questions on tests and quizzes don't make a lot of sense either. However the class is pretty easy and not much hw.

I do not recommend taking this professor. His assignments are very confusing, he talks very quietly and does not try to make the class engaging. He talks through the entire lecture.

Says um every other word. When he leaves the whole class talks about how bad he is. Doesn't call students by their proper name. Crams everything in at the last second of the semester. Useless during his office hours. Made a racist comment. Talks about stuff irrelevant to the class. Has a bad attitude. I strongly reccomend avoid him.

If you have this teacher, CHANGE YOUR SCHEDULE. Sure, it's an easy class, but if you don't want to waste an hour and fifteen minutes of your day? Please don't take his class. He drones on and on and never once stops to let you know if what he's about to say is important or if there's something specific to write down.

Great idea for a class, however rants off on random tangents unrelated to class material. The syllabus and class schedule make no sense. You will be doing a semesters worth of work within the last 3 weeks of class, completely separate from the first 12 weeks. Bad with names and time management, be sure to bring something to stay awake for notes.

Hour of Zoom-recorded lectures that could be shaved down to about thirty minutes if he didn't say "uh", "uhm," and "alright" every other word. He insults you for taking a previous English course, stating that it does not matter what we learned there because we have to write exactly how he wants us to or he will fail us. Biggest waste of my time.

Professor McTighe would always show up late to class, spend almost 20 minutes writing down school announcements on the board that are already on the school website. Takes a ridiculous amount of time to get through a week or two of content, and would often rush at the end of lectures to get his point across. Super condescending + unhelpful.

he's too old and needs to retire avoid at all costs

The ONLY things we did: -Humanities experience research project -Participation proposal -Pop quiz 1 -Exam 1 -Exam 2 Taught syllabus right until week after spring break. Exam 1 on 4/24/25 and Exam 2 on final day of class. Goes over artifacts before test so pay attention to those bc most likely those will be the same on the test. - take voice notes

Participation matters! Pay attention because everything he says in class he'll test you on. Don't spend too much time studying the artifacts he'll tell you a couple that will be on right before the test just pay attention there. Show up and make yourself known when do. It isn't hard work, just an old nice man who is straight up and should retire.

Lots lectures and is very slow talker. He's not a bad guy, he's just old and takes a while to speak and think. I'd still avoid his classes, he gets boring very fast.

Worst teacher that i have ever taken. He didn't even teach anything until the last day then had an exam like what the heck. This was such a waste of my money and time. He left everything for last minute. Never been more scared for a grade.
