Reviews of professor Philip Spradling

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Do not take this professor unless you are ready to learn on your own and read on your own. This professor basically read everything off his lecture notes and he started skipping his lecture slides assuming that everyone knows the materials. He puts up questions for class discussion without going through the terms.

This professor is fantastic! He is so helpful and really wants you to learn.  He is fair and reasonable.  The tests are very long, but multiple choice.  If you do the reading, you'll be fine.  He is really kind and very approachable about anything.  You can tell he loves teaching and interacting with the students. Hightly recommended.

Rating: 3.5/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is extremely nice & approachable. However, his lectures are extremely dull and boring. I mean you can read the book at home, no need for his power point lectures... Project & essay are worth 20% each and tests are worth just 12.5%! Very boring class but fairly easy A.

As everyone else has said, be prepared to read the chapter BEFORE CLASS. The only reason I did well is because I made over 300 flashcards to survive the course. The definitions in the lectures are completely different from the book, but the book is what's on the test. He's very disrespectful to students, especially women and will interrupt them.

Be prepared to read and teach yourself the material. He clearly has his favorites and won't hide that he does. Would not recommend to take

If you want to pass this class, prepare to READ READ READ. This professor only lectures by powerpoint and it can get boring. He speaks in monotone and you can barely hear him. If you want to get a C or higher, be sure to read all the assigned chapters and teach yourself. The professor isn't much help, the textbook will be your best friend.

Boring and useless professor. Assigns group project for the class to teach better than him. As another reviewer mentioned, ask him a question beyond the textbook and he won't know. Yikes! At least he's honest? Tests are not cumulative but they can be tough. All the questions are from the book so just READ, READ, READ!
