The content for this class seems relatively easy, but James Windsor seems to want you to fail through his harsh grading and difficult quiz questions that are made to trick you. Although he seems nice, a good professor would want his students to succeed; he seems to want people to suffer and trick them.Rate My Professors ↗
Easy, intuitive material. Course designed to make getting an A hard through intentionally ambiguous and misleading questions and hard project grading.Rate My Professors ↗
He is accomodating, but the exams are bogus and the questions are meant to trip you up with some wording changes that contribute absolutely nothing to testing the content that you have learnt. The team projects can be hard and are arbitrarily graded. The class is unecesssarily hard for an into class.Rate My Professors ↗
MHR 300 with Windsor was a tough class, not because the material was hard, but because the quizzes are poorly written and very confusing. The team projects are fine, not hard and not time intensive, but feel like they are graded randomly. That being said Windsor is a nice person.Rate My Professors ↗
The class is hard to get an A as he is a tough grader with group projects. James is nice and offers help often. The class has no mid terms or finals which is super nice, only unit tests. If you study and write good chapter notes an A is achievable. The group projects are not fun, but fairly easy.Rate My Professors ↗
he is a nice guy and overall a good teacher as well. the class meets once a week where he just sums up the week of material. it is not very engaging and I always just sat on my phone for an hour a week. he grades harshly on some homework and group projects. the tests are online, but hard and timed.Rate My Professors ↗
