Do not take this prof. for styles and ways. He gives so much work and expects way too much considering this class is only worth one credit.

PROFESSOR IS USELESS, HATES STUDENTS, REALLY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU!!! WHO CARES IF YOU TRY OR NOT....I GOT AN A...BUT THAT WAS OUT OF PURE LUCK AND RANDOM GUESSING ON MIDTERMS. NO ONE PASSES HIS MIDTERMS IN ANY CLASSES TO THE POINT THAT HE HAS TO GIVE POINTS AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER!!! HE IS NOT DR. D...CUZ HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE HIS DOCTORATE!!!

Useless, Unclear, disorganized, and ego-driven. One of the worst professors I have ever had. I will do everything in my power to not take this professor again.

I did not listen to any of the warnings on here and boy am I sorry.. This is by far the worst teacher at FGCU. Very disorganized, and when you ask a question he copies and pastes text from the syllabus which DOESN'T answer your question. and to make matters worse I worked my bum off in that class.. had an A on almost everything.. and yet got a B!

You'd think that having him as an online teacher, in which he does nothing more than list our assignments and grade them, that he could at least respond to your questions with something other than words to the effect "sorry, I don't know what to tell you." By far the most uninvolved, unhelpful, cold teacher I have encountered thus far.

avoid this teacher at all costs that is unless you want to fail a class or ruin you gpa

Terrible professor. he will destroy your gpa. Cocky and useless; avoid him if you can.

Worse professor ever ! Very confusing !! Avoid !! Ruined my gpa !! Took points off for having too broad of a topic when he chose our topics and took points off for not having a cover page when he told us to use mla (which doesn't use cover pages)

GPA killer!!! Listen to what people are saying its all true. I took him 2 times and nothing changed

Buries you with hours of Youtube videos and websites to learn the subject. Very disappointed in this class because I think I would have enjoyed it. It was almost like he enjoys making the class difficult and confusing. Avoid him if you can.

By FAR the worst professor I've ever taken. Only 4 assignments for the entire semester and they are horrible with little to no instructions on how to complete. Is extremely rude in email responses. UNHELPFUL. Doesn't teach, just posts links to videos. Will give you very low grade and not explain why. Makes you feel dumb for asking questions.

I've taken 2 of his classes only because he teaches a lot of the required classes for the legal studies major. He's obviously a smart guy but he's a garbage professor. He is not very helpful when you ask questions (He refers you to his forum for an information overload) and he's usually vague about his grading criteria. If you can avoid him, DO IT!

There are 4 assignments throughout the semester, whatever you receive for each grade is final and cannot be resubmitted for extra points. I suggest you prepare assignments probably one or two weeks in advance to make sure you don't miss anything. If you could take another professor I would advise it. Ethics is common sense, but not when its hard.

If you're looking for a class to take in criminal justice or legal studies major, look somewhere else. You end up buying a book that cost close to $200 just so you do research outside. Thank again before deciding. Good luck folks!

Do not take him. I messaged him numerous times for help when he responded it is always something sarcastic. The way this class set up is unbelievable. You have to go through tons of information to find what you are looking for and half of the links that he shares do not work. I have never in my three years of college met a prof. like this.

Taken his classes twice now. The classes are good for an easy A however be prepared to get tons of emails that do not help with anything. The professor is very unorganized and horrible. He is sarcastic and has no compassion for anyone. Avoid him at all costs if you actually want to learn something.

He was the worst professor I've ever had. The grading is horrible and inconsistent. He gives VAGUE guidelines on his expectations for assignments and yet grades harshly when one follows that. Learned nothing at all. You could put in your absolute best effort in an assignment and yet the only feedback given is what was bad and how bad it was.

If you're considering taking this professor, do yourself a favor and swerve to the next option. he's a horrible horrible teacher, very demeaning when he speaks to you. He will belittle your questions and make you feel stupid. Will ALWAYS you to refer to the syllabus for everything. Don't make the same mistake I did, take someone else.

This professor is extremely rude and demeaning, the most arrogant professor I have ever encountered. Regardless of his less than stellar people skills, trying to understand and locate his expectations for classwork are nearly impossible. Do not rely on the syllabus, it only has half the information/criteria for the assignments! Forum posts help.

MY ONE PIECE OF ADVICE FOR FGCU LAW STUDENTS IS AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Supposed to teach you but the minute you ask a question about an assignment he says he cant give you the answers and then proceeds to never teach anything

Does not actually grade, just freestyles what he chooses to grade. Very rude when you try to email about work or grades. The Legal Studies major at FGCU is thought by incompetent professors who could care less about student success. Unclear on what he expects and thinks because he has a PHD he can do whatever he wants when it comes to grading.

He's a harsh grader, impossible to get in contact with, vague about what he wants on assignments, and there were no lectures. He's not an understanding professor, he doesn't care if you learn or not. Its a waste of money to take his course. You wind up teaching yourself with no help from the professor. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS

For ALL of his classes you have 4 assignments total so if you screw up one its almost impossible to get your grade back up. He's confusing as to what he wants in his papers and in his modules the links are outdated and most of the time don't work. Completely unavoidable good luck.

Went from straight A's previous semester to having him ruin my GPA with this one class. A total of approximately 4 assignments and his response to why he graded my paper extremely low was "It is not based upon fairness." No explanation where I needed to fix my case brief. Truly upsetting, DO NOT RECOMMEND!

We had one homework assignment the entire semester. The homework assignment itself does not state specific instructions. He writes in ur homework FEEDBACK that he wanted a long length answer for each question. If it is not long enough, he will give you a bad grade, even if it is right. Then you have only the final 10 page paper to improve ur grade.

One homework assignment entire semester. Does not give specific instructions on how he wants the assignment. Instead in your hw FEEDBACK he will send a lengthy response saying he wanted long responses, even if ur answers are right. Then you only have a 10 page paper to improve ur grade. Gives txtbk to read the entire semester with no outline.

I feel bad because he seems like he cares, but wow is he bad at teaching. Everything is extremely disorganized to the point where the weeks don't align and you don't know what's what for anything anywhere, he is unhelpful and uninvolved in teaching, and you are truly alone. Few assignments aren't bad, I prefer them, but this is just crazily bad.

Took one of his classes before and everything was fine. It all went downhill from this class. If you can avoid taking any class with him then avoid it! I'd rather count every single grain of sand that exists on Earth than ever take one of his classes again.

Not a good teacher, incredibly disorganized, it's a wild goose chase to find ONE instruction and you have to hunt for them because the "lessons" don't align with the weeks, emails you useless stuff every day. The syllabus was from Spring 2018, that should tell you enough.

When I tell you this was one of the worst academic experiences in my career, heed the warning. If I had time an energy the dean would've been involved. He hands out failing grades like candies and there are only 5 grades total. For a professional ethics course, I learned more being his student of who not to become from him than his "lessons".
