I learnt a lot from his lectures. Worth study hard for.PHSC6262 2016-06-17 17:13:31 +0000 UTC
He just read the word on the slides. But on the other hand, all the material in the test is on the slides.CONCEPTS 2015-04-11 16:12:01 +0000 UTC
I loved Dr. Loring's class. It is fairly easy to take notes during his lectures. His review sessions are great - he is REALLY there for you. I got the impression he doesn't have a lot of control in the course besides his lectures, and I wish he did. His tests are fair and straightforward and he posts plenty of prep material.4340 2014-12-05 20:40:52 +0000 UTC
One of the toughest professors I've had. Doesn't seem to care if students do well or poorly. No guidance is given for tests.CLASS 2014-11-17 09:14:41 +0000 UTC
Loring does not care about any students. He just teaches because he has to. Do yourself a favor and avoid any of his classes.PHSC5100 2014-01-17 16:41:20 +0000 UTC
I wish Loring had taught the whole class instead of splitting it with Boisse. He is much slower and clearer in explanation, is willing to answer questions, and offers breaks during class.PSC340 2009-01-02 10:17:58 +0000 UTC
This guy is very unwilling to help anyone. If you come up to him with questions after lecture he will tell u he has to go home to his wife and that he has a life that he does not want to spend staying after class and answering ur questions. Also, the amount of material was very excessive for a 2 credit class so if u take other hard classes be awarePSCG100 2005-12-19 21:58:39 +0000 UTC
This guy is like Ben Stein on Ferris Buelers Day Off. In other words, monotone, he will put you to sleep. Unless you have questions on the material, you are better off studying from the book than attending his classPSCU340 2005-10-05 10:57:56 +0000 UTC
The first classes are just badPSC340 2008-09-13 19:19:25 +0000 UTC
Worst professor I've ever had. Reads word for word off every slide and doesn't help students at all. Learn more on your own then attending his class. Slides have way too much text on them but you have to memorize every single thing...ridiculous.PSC340 2007-12-18 11:39:40 +0000 UTC
