Extremely disorganized. The syllabus was essentially a suggestion, as deadlines were moved with zero notice. Expect to wait 3+ weeks for any grade to be returned, usually with zero feedback on why points were docked.Rate My Professors ↗
Reginold has been, by far, the worst professor that I have had. Any clarification question asked during lecture is met with a degrading response. Furthermore, he does not answer emails and tends to prioritize the sale of his "works" rather than the education of his students.Rate My Professors ↗
he's got LOADS of attitude. very condescending. he asks us to do tons of reading, watch long films, AND complete linkedin trainings. very harsh grader tooRate My Professors ↗
Waited ONE hour for a zoom call that he didn't show up to, then claimed there was a confusion regarding the link. Like.. we all know you forgot. Mind you we had to pay $35 to watch a movie to discuss in THAT zoom call. Canvas is VERY poorly organized, a ton of readings AND films to watch just for a 300-word discussion post, no materials of his OWN!Rate My Professors ↗
I have some choice words for this prof. For one, he didn't even show up to a zoom discussion we were required to attend, while we all waited. The course itself is very disorganized and glitchy, with canvas materials written so poorly I question how he could have written his own publications. He's also condescending. Can't believe he is tenured!Rate My Professors ↗
LIS500 was an interesting class. Contrary to popular opinion I didn't mind the LinkedIn certifications and they were semi helpful. Participation matters a lot in this class and it has to be like novel and meaningful. Grading criteria is all over the place, max effort usually got you an A but randomly you'd get points off. Not a very friendly guy.Rate My Professors ↗
