I took him during the winter intersession and he's a great teacher who wants his students to succeed but he purposely makes the class/tests difficult so you have to go to class and pay attention but he's funny and keeps his lectures entertaining gives extra credit and curves the class at the end

I hated this class. I hated it with a passion. I got an A in it, but I had my doubts the whole way through. The thing that kills me is that he is too darn lazy to write his own tests so there would be a 45 minute long discussion on the fairness of the questions...after a good argument he would agree they were ridiculous. He's nice, funny..but lazy.

Personally, he seems like a great guy. Funny and nice. As a teacher, he's probably the worst I've ever taken. I got a B in the class but he doesn't write his own tests so his personal opinions that he spews forth in class are completely worthless 95% of the time, but then he'll say a random phrase that will show up as an essay question .

The class was really easy. The quizzes come straight from the powerpoints. They take attendance every time, but if you show up you get points for it. The resume assignment is the hardest thing about this class so do it early. The guest speakers were cool and entertaining. Anderson hardly ever talks. It's all guest speakers and assistants.

Avoid at all costs! He has mandatory class attendance, only to listen to material that will never be covered on the tests. When he found out that some students in our class were using the book test bank, he had a vendetta against the whole class. The first test average was a 49, no idea where he pulled material from.

These reviews are not lying! Worst professor ever. You'll mostly be teaching yourself from the textbook/Connect. There were 3 midterms, 4 quizzes, and a final. The exams were very difficult. He doesn't use Canvas for grades, so you won't know your grade until the end. He ended up curving my overall grade by at least 9%, which was nice, I guess..

Took this course as an elective for engineering. I've aced every engineering/physics/math course I've taken, but I think I'm getting a C in this course. You'll be presented with more information, terms, and definitions than in any other course you've taken, and be expected to memorize all of it, learning very little in the process. Can't recommend

I took this 4-week class online during the spring intersession and it was difficult. I enjoyed the content it was just a lot of information to remember at once. It was 4 weeks, so there were two quizzes and two exams, all very detailed and information-heavy. I would highly encourage taking notes and study using smartbook and Quizlet.

Ron Anderson is a very charismatic and interesting teacher. His lectures will make you laugh and you will enjoy the classuntil the assignments come. The class is based off of pop quizzes, hw quizzes, and exams. The pop quizzes and exams are brutal. A lot of gotcha questions and detailed definitions required. Never had a C before this class.
