Reviews of professor Sean Newman

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is a very tough grader. He loves for you to go overboard with examples about your personal life but doesn't state that in the assignment instructions, even then he has to relate to you to give you a good grade on an assignment. There is a lot of work to do each week with a discussion and essay. Two finals and a final project.

Although the workload can seem challenging, Dr. Newman encourages his students to obtain self-growth because he truly cares. Typical BASBOL curriculum, lots of reading, which is the most time consuming but needed for the weekly one two-part essay, and discussion. There also 1midterm and 1final. Ignore the negative feedback below; it's not accurate.

Do the work and you will learn a lot. You will not pass if you don't stay on top of the homework.

Tough grader on midterm/final/portfolio. His direction is not clear on the portfolio makes it very hard to understand which way to go with the paper. Very discouraging after seeing my midterm and final paper grade. Waiting on portfolio grade :-(

I learned so much in his class and not only about the topic. Professor Newman is a great professor who cares about his students and their progress. He goes the extra mile to explain you something if you don't understand it. If you do all your assignments on time it is easy to get a good grade, because he is a fair grader. Would take him again.

This professor thinks he is smart when he is not. Wants you to address him as DR when he doesn't even know what APA format is. I had nothing but issues with him regarding his negative feedback on my papers. It's his opinion or else you are wrong. Points are deducted for every little thing if he doesn't agree with you. Would NEVER recommend him!
