Reviews of professor Joshua Avera

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
He's an easy grader and you won't have a lot of assignments, but I didn't learn anything. He gets side tracked often during his lectures, and he sends like 500 emails a week about mistakes he made and another email about how he fixed it. Sometimes he sends one sentence emails that just say look at the announcement and the announcement is new modul

This guy is one of the worst teachers I have ever had. He is not helpful, post assignments late, gives garbage tests, and overall doesnt care for the students. When I was struggling with an assignment, I emailed him for help, and he just told me to figure it out on my own. DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY. His class is a waste of time and you wont learn at all

Avera is just awful. He assigns reading homework with really short notice. He's disorganized and takes 7+ days to respond to emails. Don't expect him to honor DRC accommodations. He almost never starts class on time and has cancelled/no-showed to more than half a dozen classes. He takes months to grade things. Don't take Avera if you can help it.

Passionate but messy. Syllabus incorrect the entire semester. Exams given about every 2 weeks but weren't listed as to when, instead given based on whenever we finished the unit. Cancelled or started late too often. Hard to plan around since I have a job and took time out of my day to attend. Mixed up classes and/or didn't know where we left off.

I'm currently taking this class and it hasn't been the best experience. Papers and discussion boards don't get graded which means you won't know if you're doing a good job. Online lecture is long and consists of reading off slides. I try to stay interested but there's not much to look forward to. I wouldn't take again.

Ended up with this prof due to limited choices; reviews were all over, so thought, why not? Mistake. Nice guy, wants u to succeed but teaching style did not click with me. Lots of readings, practice quizzes didn't align wt tests, and time limits. I did learn but at the cost of many nights crying, stressed, anxious, and mad about this class.

One of the best professors Ive ever had. He doesnt give too much work and only has tests every couple weeks, just take notes on the powerpoints he covers, read the textbook, and youll pass the class with a good grade. I definitely gained a lot from his class, hes very fair and keeps you engaged the whole time. You wont regret it.

Hands down a really good profesor. Its laid back class that you get to learn and pass easily. Took this professor 4 times for different classes. The best class.
