Boring lectures, but straight forward material. Didn't like the way he laughed... and he laughed all the time at stuff that wasn't really funny either so it got annoying...

Very VERY boring lectures. He needs to think of a way to jazz them up!

I wish he kept the logo robotics out of the EDIT course. He is a good guy, yet his lectures are soporific to say the least.Take a lot of anti sleeping pills with you while going to his lectures.

Lectures were at a terrible time, and were very dry and boring. The lecture notes were almost cryptic. meaning: you had to attend the boring lectures in order to make sense of them. Guest lecturers were even worse. Mike, you need to liven up your lectures

Very boring class. I found labs to be the only time I really learned anything, and even then they were rather easy. Concepts were sandwiched in between a lot of unnecessary examples in lecture. I didn't mind the lab instructor though...he definitely clarified things for me in time for the final.

He is a very knowledgable man but sometimes he got going and the topic was way above our heads. Felix was great he kept things clear and concise. Dr. Mike was very long winded. The tests weren't that bad. The 8am lab was brutal but very easy. I found a lot of the things we covered had little relevance to what I want to teach it was more for K-7.

The tests are totally ridiculous. Questions are asked that have nothing to do with anything other than your ability to remember unimportant details of the lectures. Learned some interesting things but overall the class was boring.

Guest lectures were very boring. Professor seemed disintersted. Tests required alot of memorization of trivia.

I am going to have to agree with the other users here. I don't think we ever saw Mike more than 4 times during the whole semester. The class was taught by Steven Scott instead. Class is easy but it really boring. Midterm/Final is easy if you attend all lectures and labs. One good thing about the night class, he let us leave early most of the time.

Dr. Carbonaro only came to the class a couple times the entire semester. He left most of the teaching to his TA. When Carbanaro taught, he droned on about useless things that had very little to do with the course. He seemed to focus more on how great he felt the research he was doing was, and didn't care about the class or students.

I only missed a couple classes, but I only ever had Dr Carbonaro teach 1 of the classes I went to. And that class was totally useless. The TA who taught the rest of the time was WAY more useful.

He taught maybe 3 courses in total. The class is almost entirely taught the Felix scott. The few classes he did teach were boring and useless. He spent a lot of time going over some stats, then said they were outdated so they wouldn't be useful to us anyways.

Post Midterm Feels: This class plays you. Yall think it's easy but it ain't. Yeah, the midterm consists of mainly all the quiz questions, but then they throw that curveball about some extremely specific outcome at you. They toy with your confidence in this class. Some questions Thanos snap your brain away. *insert sad boy tears*

I like Mike: he's funny and personable. He does go on tangents sometimes, especially about histroical stuff. Good balance for his co-instructor Cathy.

The course was taught by Mike Carbonaro and Cathy Adams. Prof Carbonaro had few lectures and considering the content I would say he tried to make it engaging. There is a lot to keep up with (readings and quizzes and activities) so pace yourself.

Dr. Carbonaro teaches with Cathy Adams and overall it was okay. The lectures were recorded and after class, the slides would be posted to eClass. I found the lectures heavy and boring to where I would only focus on the slide's information instead. Overall, it wasn't a hard class but you can honestly do it by yourself and still do fine.

Dr. Carbonaro, as a lecturer, was sometimes difficult to sit through, especially when a great deal of his lecture was spent on discussing his research. He's a great professor, and the course was really fun, but sometimes it would help if he made his lectures more content focused.

average professor in an easy class. Interesting content, but you can get by this class with minimal reading of the slides, putting bare minimum effort in FLAs, and completely ignoirng the readings. Most questions can be answered by common sense anyways. Be prepared to put in a bit of work into VLAs, but even that wasn't that much.

It was really nice to be able to get good marks on the labs and FLAs. The FLAs and Lab 2 are completion marks and are not hard to complete. The first Lab was also not hard to get a good grade on just do it slowly throughout the semester. The practice quizzes are nice to have and the mid term was fair. I found the final to be harder however.

Decent professor, incredibly boring though. Talks a lot but doesn't add any information on top of the slides. Lots of required readings and specific test questions. Make sure you know the coding questions as they appear a lot on tests

Tbh the class gets a lot of negative reviews but it's actually a fair/straight-forward class. True that there are a lot of readings, but it's basically the same load compared to other ED classes, nothing exceptional.

The profs and TA's of 210 were good. However, this course? Absolutely useless. None of my friends in classrooms as teachers have used *anything* from this course. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. The material is so incredibly boring and Dr. Carbonaro has a monotone voice that makes it hard to pay attention in his lectures. Useless class.

The professor himself was okay and helpful when you asked him questions. The course itself is so useless I learned absolutely nothing, the way it was formatted is horrible. So unorganized, sometimes the class was synchronous and sometimes asynchronous. The FLA's were not bad, but that last coding assignment was so unnecessary yet time consuming.

EDU210 was a good class. The content itself is not very useful, but the way it was taught was fair. The lectures were slow, so I suggest speeding them up and watching the recorded version later. The tests are not cumulative, so that makes studying easy. I crammed the night before and still got decent grades, so if you study, you will do great!

The course content could be improved for better relevance to educators, but the distribution of grades and workload was quite reasonable, especially with 20% for FLAs (participation basically). Dr. Carbonaro's lectures are fairly dry, mostly due to the content, but he is a nice guy (teaches this course with Cathy Adams and TAs).

EDU 210 exams were harder than it was supposed to be. His lectures and Cathy, TAs are okay. Some questions on the exam includes things we did not study at all. It is asynchronous and the half of it they taught and we had to learn half the content ourselves. you do need to know your stuff to pass. the coding was helpful but a waste of time for me.
