Reviews of professor Michael Samms

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He isn't really helpful in terms of keeping up with things he says he's going to do. He does sidetrack a lot making conversation about something else or just speeding through information on necessary topics. Although he seemed like a genuinely smart prof., I had to teach myself most of the semester.

You're gonna have to teach yourself the material. He basically reads off a slide most of class and then gets distracted and starts telling stories about his life.

Talked mainly about his personal life or got sidetracked. Didn't respond to any emails. Most of the exams had nothing to do with the review sheet. Didn't learn any material from his lectures and had to teach myself. More than half the class cheated on the final.

His class was easy to pass but only if you work yourself. During class he'll just read off the slides he wont really teach. He doesnt like when your absent or late he notices when you are. Pearson is a big part of his class if you dont do it he'll drop your grade. He doesn't post them on canvas so pay attention when he says it. Doesnt answer emails

Samms is an okay professor. He reads off of the slides and tends to go on tangents. The class does feel a lot longer than 2 hours but, all of his exams are online and are easy as long as you listen to his lectures. For homework, he gives quizzes based off each chapter which are also pretty easy. Not the worst but not the best prof.
