The work wasn't really hard, there is just a whole lot of it. He's a bit rude as well, or maybe just tough. The weekly workload got overwhelming and annoying pretty quickly. The assignments don't get graded for a while either, he just picks a day and grades a huge chunk. I wouldn't recommend him but he's hardly the worst.

Would take again

I had him for an 8 week course, so the class was a bit easier than his class normally would be, but he was a very kind teacher. He was incredibly helpful and clear with how he wanted everything to be done, and guided us students through every step.

Very boring. This professor is incredibly disorganized, and it's so frustrating. I haven't learned anything in his class because he takes months to grade assignments, leaving us clueless about our progress. His explanations are lacking, making his feedback confusing when we finally get it. The projects are boring, repetitive, and time-consuming.

This professor is very, very slow at explaining things. The first week was spent explaining to us how email works because he believed we were too young to understand it. You won't get a single grade until after week 6 (if you're lucky), and you will have to write a full essay within two days. You need over a 95% on papers to get overa A! AVOID!

clicked the class randomly and I regret it. Do NOT take him bruh. Only reason I'm giving him a 2 is cause I learned something. Be ready to write full grown essays in like 2 days. Homework is also so boring and repetitive. A lot of stress. The final is write 2 essays in 2 hours in class. Character wise, its like ehh. you will be stressing

There's so much homework and its so boring and time consuming to do. can be very specific on the homework and ask for stuff that's not on the rubric. A new essay every month and gives you a week to do it. never grades the essays on time.The final is about a book and have to write two essays within two hours.

My experience in this class was disappointing. The instructor struggled to communicate ideas clearly and often came across as condescending. The course felt unorganized, expectations were unclear, and classroom management was weak, which made learning difficult.
