CollegeYou will need to actively participate in his classes to be on his good side. You will need to attend the sections to be fully caught up on course material. You will need to be ready to defend your opinions in class. If you do not like this, then do not take his courses. If you like challenges, then take his courses.
Changed the syllabus last minute cause he "felt like it"... also tends to get aggravated in class over certain topics. There should be a level of professionalism when it comes to teaching, he demands punctuality from students but often arrives late. Also finishes super early. And horrible lecture slides that are 6-8 years old.
One of the most unorganized and unintuitive classes I have ever taken. Had to read nearly a book a week with the professor often changing the text needed to read within 2 days of class. No written syllabus or clear grading outline. Changed format of the final at the last minute. Very passionate about the subject but cared little about his students.
Do not take any classes with Parker. He doesn't stick to a syllabus and it will ruin your grade.
RUDE is a very disrespectful professor. Wants to see his students fail. Don't bother wasting your money on taking this class, he comes late or cancels the class. His slides are a bunch of random things, and the overall lecture is him venting about his life and his boring opinions. Changed the format of the final last minute because he wanted to.
This class has been a profound disappointment. He has a consistent lack of professionalism and respect towards students. The professor's habitual tardiness and apparent pride in lowering students' grades not only make this class hard but makes me want to drop. He also makes Passive-aggressive remarks towards students.
