The instructor is fair, but does not do a good job at being actively involved in discussions as students are. I recommend the instructor, but with caution. The only way a student gets better, is if the instructor is active and prudent in providing detailed feedback to the student.POL3110 2010-12-06 20:14:10 +0000 UTC
Instructor had a good set up in class. However, he very rarely provided his own input and remarks on your work. You're required to do blogs which were a bit boring, but otherwise, the expectations weren't far fetched. I recommend!POL3115 2010-04-07 11:10:22 +0000 UTC
A non-participating instructor. If you like that, then you might get a good grade.POL3110 2010-11-20 21:08:47 +0000 UTC
Doesn't participate in class activities. A really boring instructor, who grades you very, very harshly if you do not ALWAYS quote him and his lectures in your discussions.POL3110 2010-10-11 18:42:21 +0000 UTC
