Reviews of professor Rick Moncauskas

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Rick Moncaskas COM2041 uses bigoted language and ideology when lecturing and injects his subjective opinion into all assignments/ grading, which is rude and demoralizing. His lectures are confusing monologues about psychology, his weekend and his son's salary. You will learn nothing about audio and be expected to know everything about it. Run away!

Hilarious old guy humor but he will be a pretty hard grader. Ask questions or answer out loud cause he appreciates the effort even if you are wrong. Rick is an awesome teacher that does care. Sometimes the way he says certain phrases makes it sound sarcastic or like he doesn't care but it makes it funny.

I took audio production when it was all on zoom and it was my first semester at PLNU, although it was online and a very small class, Rick made us all feel cared for. The projects take time and planning out if you want to receive a good grade, but he gives feedback for improvement. If you get things in on time you won't have a problem.

Rick is one of the worst professors at the school. He grades so difficult and It does not matter if you put in your best effort to the work or have shown up every day. He does not have grace for your grade.

Prof. M. has a degree in psychology, so that is what he teaches. I was a student in is Audio Production course and he hardly taught any audio production at all, just psych. He was also a very rude grader and once made an unprompted comment to the class about how he finds Samoan women unattractive. I would advise anyone to avoid taking his class.
