Reviews of professor James Toney

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Good professor, willing to answer questions, super hard content, and lots and lots of assignments until you feel as if you are drowning. He makes the wording of the hw, exams and exercises way harder to understand. If you want to take this class, find a buddy asap!!!

ENGR 1181 is a VERY time demanding course for supposedly being 2 credit hours. Dr. Toney is a pretty chill teacher. His lectures were very boring, but, there's no way to really make lecturing about Matlab interesting. Most grading is done by TA's and they follow a rubric that you have access to, so as long a you follow the rubric you'll be fine.

I had Professor Toney for the self paced online ENGR 1221 class. Class was fairly easy given that you paced yourself and regularly used resources. Virtually guaranteed to get an A if you complete all assignments as you can complete them until you pass the unit. Very helpful and overall high quality professor.

Very thorough, clear, and concise. He is very fair in grading and accommodating.

He's a nice guy but this does not help how awfully this class is structured. There is no instruction and hours of busywork. Unfortunately, the class is required for all engineering majors so if you can try to find a more engaging professor.
