CollegeI only lasted 30 minutes in his INTRODUCTION lecture. He is hard to understand and cold-calls people to answer. He doesn't know how to use Canvas so it's difficult to find the resources he wants you to read. He assigned 2 textbooks. I tried hard to pay attention but he jumps around a bit so it's hard to follow his train of thought.
best professor in the globl departmart!!! so inspirational! wow!
He's the worse professor I've ever had! His class has no content at all, you will end the quarter without having learned anything. He is really unorganized the course has no structure (he has no slides or book). It's the final week right now and he still hasn't graded anything. He is rude and not helpful if you try to reach out to him.
Everything this man says is incredibly convoluted to the point where it loses all meaning. He constantly contradicts his own arguments and is pretentious. Do not take.
Listen, if you want an easy upper div class, TAKE GLOBL 123! There are no tests, lecture is not mandatory, and all you are graded on are your discussion posts each week (that correspond to readings). I skipped every class and was able to pass. You grade your own discussion posts btw, so easy A! His lectures are pointless tho
He seems like a good man, but he is not a good lecturer. His lectures are not cohesive at all. I'm not sure how in-person classes would be, but online classes were reasonable when it came to difficulty. Do the readings and read his lecture notes and you should be able to write strong essays. He does give extra credit opportunities as well!
