Reviews of professor Thomas Horan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I've been at ETSU for almost 5 years. Never in my life have I had a instructor as impossible as him. His grading is ridiculous, expectations are not clear, he expects Harvard PHD level writing. Tells me my citations are wrong, but did not make clear if we are using APA or MLA. I would suggest taking philosophy instead of this jerk. WORST INSTRUCTOR

He is never clear on his assignments and what he wants from them. The entire class did an assignment based off what he wanted, but then said we couldnt follow directions wouldnt take responsibility for his mistake. The quizzes are impossible. The questions from the quizzes are nothing like the readings. On pace to fail. DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY.

Not only were assignments unclear, halfway through the year he added to his rubric that he could give a zero if he felt that was what you deserved, regardless of the work that was turned in. He needlessly ridiculed papers. Taught none of the material in the technology book. Made us also buy an English book and based 80% of quiz questions off that

Harsh grader with rubrics that make no sense. I had to take his class for my major and there were no time slots open except for his, now I know why. 0/10. rude with the little feedback he gives. If you cant make his office hours, good luck ever talking to him. Good luck to the poor sap who still has to take this class after reading this.

Mr. Horans class has been the most difficult class I have ever taken. Not that the courses material should be hard, he just does a terrible job of teaching it. He also will not show you what questions youve missed on quizzes. He expects no less than perfection on everything, yet any assignment you get from him is loaded with typos and mistakes.
