Reviews of professor Anthony Austin

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I cant explain how many open ended quizzes this man gives on top of the rest of the written work. He claims to be struggling with grading yet gives out more work. No multiple choice so be prepared to write. Also acts like we all have degrees in medicine.

The hybrid class is okay but it's hard to stay motivated to take notes outside of class on your own. He is very awkward but kind. He gives a lot of extra credit, but his weekly quizzes are difficult. He gives so much material and only a couple questions on the quiz. He lets you use flashcards but it is still hard.

Austin is a great professor and very knowledgable, but still a young teacher with lots to learn. I took his Statistical Methods class and for the most part, it was just the course work that was extremely difficult and hard to get. He makes quizzes every week before teaching the chapter but he allows notecards for quizzes and exams & no phone bonus.

Lectures are boring. So much reading. Quizzes are pretty much like the study guide and its nice you get to write on a notecard. Not many exams. Rough class for an 8:30.

He is a great professor whether you struggle with math (like me) or excel at it. He is available during office hours to help outside class, and the assignments are straightforward. Additionally, he provides ample opportunities for extra credit, which can be a lifesaver for people struggling.

Professor Austin is very lackluster in his teaching methods. He did not make a sensible estimation of the coursework and how long we had to learn the material. Some chapters have PPs with over 100+ slides, which personally, I don't see the effectiveness. I've retained much more substance, and understanding of psych concepts with other professors.

I took an online medical terminology class with him and it is the only class I am doing bad in. The one assignment given a week is extremely unhelpful for the weekly quizzes and I fail almost every single on of them. It is impossible to study for this class even when I look up study guides from other professors using the same textbook.

Take Dr.Austin for Informatics!!! Have taken in the past and has definitely improved his attitude, he is so sweet and wholesome. Encourages students to attend office hours and tries to help the best he can. 3 exams, 2 practical assignments, weekly homework assignments and a few quizzes sprinkled throughout this course. Would take him again.

Although class isn't mandatory, you should definitely still show up. There is a chapter quiz every Monday, long lectures on Wednesday, and a lab day on Friday. Labs aren't hard as he goes over it in class with you. Def need the textbook. Prof isn't the best but def isn't the worst either
