Dr. Misher is kind, and is loved by his students. The shortcomings of his class is that he doesn't get to finish points very often because students bombard him with questions. Classes mostly consist of very specific questions that students SHOULD ask via email, but instead do during class. It gets very frustrating to make it through classes.

Dr. Misher was absolutely wonderful. The course content was difficult at times but he did an excellent job of taking the material and making it more manageable. The paper at the end was most of the grade. But, he worked with you and you submitted it in sections for feedback (not all at once). He was excellent at responding to emails/questions.

I found that the class is very helpful, but most assignments are turned in as Powerpoints. The workload is very heavy for an 8 week course and can be overwhelming for students taking multiple classes while also working full-time. It also felt as if the class was more focused on current teachers, and not those yet to start.

I was worried about taking a research class at first. But Mr. Misher explains all parts of the research paper. His directions are clear and his samples are very useful to look at beforehand. He gives you plenty to time to complete assignments.

There is a considerable amount of work in this class. However, a student will be able to leave the class knowing how to write a thorough research paper. He is very respectful and is accessible outside of class.

Dr. Misher is an amazing professor. He is very understanding, and so helpful. He will willingly help you outside of class if you need it. This class may sound difficult, or daunting, but Dr. Misher walks you through everything you need to know, and makes writing a research paper seem easy!

This is a hard class, but Dr. Misher made it bearable. There is a huge research paper, but he breaks it down into parts to try to make it as easy as possible. Figuring out a topic is the hardest part of this class & it gets easier after that. No textbook needed. He is very knowledgeable and I learned a lot. He's super helpful & cares

Dr. Misher has been wonderful to have in class. He made the most stressful and difficult class a breeze all because of his direction and being accessible outside of class. I would absolutely recommend anyone to take his class, and I would be happy to have him as a professor again in the future.

Dr. Misher is fantastic! This would normally be a very difficult class, and it was one I was very stressed out about taking at first. However, Dr. Misher makes the class and the research paper go much more smoothly than you would think. Not going to lie, it is a lot of writing, but not as hard as you think! He is always answering any questions!

Thoroughly enjoyed this class. We stayed on almost the full hour and half and it wasn't boring at all. Wish we had a few more specifics on working with students teaching them math, but he included lots of classroom management ideas as well. Overall, very good and he was very enjoyable. Great conversations.

Do yourself a favor and find a way to take this professor. I was signed up for another teacher and swapped to Dr. Misher after reading the other reviews. I am so glad that I did!!! He makes the absolute best out of a terribly tough course. He is respectful of time and was always timely in getting back to me via email. No textbook required!!!

This asynchronous "teach yourself" course was not stellar. Dr. Misher had an off-putting attitude when asked questions about the research papers via email/text. The rubric was basically nonexistent. There were no office hours. He gave wrong instructions on how to write an APA abstract. The provided exemplars weren't written on a grad school level.
