Reviews of professor Donald Adamson

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This is the only Aleks professor that gives reminders for how many topics to do. You can finish an entire pie of 215 but if you fail the tests you fail, no matter how close you are. It's definitely harder as you advance but there's no way to guarantee you'll pass. If you have to take these courses, I recommend him, it's not his fault if you fail.

A test at the end of the course determines everything. Not showing hands wearing headphones having interruptions from roommates or background noise invalidates the test.only emails received where automated.He doesn't teach just manages aleks.150 topics to master 3-5 topics each. If you take finish quickly.unless you know the math already DONT TAKE!

Donald is the worst professor I have ever taken. He leaves no room for improvement. I took the final five times and I studied super hard each time. I finally got a 70% when I need a 75% to pass and asked if I could do extra credit. He basically said tough luck and did not help at all especially when I told him previously that I was struggling.

Adamson is unbearable as a professor. He is absolutely the worst one I have had at UNM. He will go out of his way to harass and threaten you with email after email, and it produces the exact opposite effect of encouragement. It's an online course, and he expects you to record 5 hours a week. Miss that and you're guaranteed 3 obnoxious emails.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! When I tell you that he is one of the worst professors I have had the displeasure of knowing, I mean it. He will bombard you constantly with pointless emails and making you be online and active in a self taught course for 5 hours a week. He will waste you time and screw you over every opportunity he gets.

Professor Adamson is very rude. His class is all on ALEKS and is very easy but the way he treats students is unprofessional. He sends you 2-3 emails a week nagging you or threatening to drop you from the class. He told me I needed to work 4-5 hours a DAY to get back on track. I was behind 20 topics. He is crazy and unreasonable. Do not take him.

Donald will literally email you everyday about Aleks and if you miss a day he will email you about catching up and threaten to drop you from his class.

Super rude and mean. The class itself is just Aleks, and is somewhat easy. The teacher is what makes this class difficult

Extremely rude and condescending. Not flexible and not transparent with what is actually required.
