Reviews of professor James Clark

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Clark does a great job of explaining concepts and teaching people about his language and culture. Some of the reviews on his page are for another James Clark at WSU, so please disregard any ECON classes. He is amazing. I would highly recommend taking any of his courses because he is an easy grader and his course are not at all time-consuming.

Unfortunately I have professor Clark for both Statistical Software and Micro. Both are online due to covid. The format of both classes are different. Software is all on blackboard and Micro used Cengage. I feel like in Micro I have to teach myself everything and the homework is very difficult compared to exams. He grades on every little detail.

I feel like I complete assignments the same exact way each time. Sometimes I receive a 7/7 and other times I get a 2/7. Exams are super easy, you could fail both and still get an A in the class. While the class sounds difficult it really only takes about an hour or two of outside lab time to complete the week's work.

Was a great and interesting class. He's an awesome professor and I felt as though he actually cared about his students. A very easy professor as well. 10/10 recommend!

This is the hardest one credit hour class I have ever taken. He is an extremely tough grader. He will deduct every single point he can from you, whether that be a period, misspell, etc. He has videos for the homework lessons but they do not correlate to your weeks assignment whatsoever. You will spend more time in this 1 cred compared to a 3 cred.

Professor Clark is amazing!! Every week there were weekly assignments that were not too time consuming but I still learned a lot. As long as you submit you assignments and try in class you will receive a good grade.

Professor Clark is passionate about Chemistry but is not a good teacher. He is unorganized, unaware of what materials are available to his students, provides ambiguous grading criteria, and does not set up students for success. He constantly has to change assignment details/dates and does not understand how this affects his students.

Not only is he a great professor, but also knowledgeable in self defense and various sports. He makes kickass demos and is very personable! Highly recommend taking any courses with him. He is not very reachable outside of class but this is because he does so much for the chemistry department.

Although it is only one credit hour, this class was the most time consuming class I have been in all year. He grades really hard most of the time. The assignments in the class are only worth 200 points but the final is 400. You are not given enough time to finish the final in the first place, so you really have to know your stuff before hand.
