ED150 . Duque J D 11 Months Ago

Professor Duque is an amazing teacher who really cares about his students. ED 150 is a fun class to take. We explored what makes a good teacher/what does good teaching look like, as well as sticky problems you find while teaching. Prof is energetic and connects with students. Work is easy and grading as well. No final or midterm for us.

Stay away unless you want a lot of busy work.

Prof is very unorganized and assigns so much busy work. The amount of time each assignment is exhausting because of the rushed lectures, no clear guideline and amount of work given sporadically. Although the material is interesting, it is dense to grasp when the assignments given seem random. Not worth the time put in, this is a minor class!

Prof Duque is the most contradicting teacher I have come upon. He advocates for students to take care of themselves and seek help, especially now, but piles on more work than all of my classes, including other ED classes. He gives a lot of reading, quizzes, busy work, and writing. Grades very late, then gives bad grades with no feedback. Terrible.

Jason is the best professor I've ever had. Yes, there is a lot of busy work but it's easily doable. He is the most inspirational person I have met and I love how he makes our class think critically. This is the only professor that I have met who does truly not take sides, usually, you can tell but not with him. I cannot recommend him enough!!!

A lot of busywork with tight due dates (assignments due Tues/Thurs/Sat/Sun, activity Fri). Try to get as much done as possible, it takes ~3-6 hrs total. The work isn't difficult and isn't graded too harshly. There were a few technical issues and the professor does not respond to student emails, so email the TAs instead.
