Reviews of professor Steven Clarke

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Expects you to be a natural entrepreneur or you won't get great grades. For my first project he said it "wasn't a good idea", gave me a C. I e-mailed asking if I could try a new idea and he sent me a 1 page email that was not helpful and did not even answer my question. Pretty vague. Make sure you reply to his disc responses.

A LOT OF WORK... Avoid the course altogether.

Very difficult grader. He expects you to go into a VERY deep dive of all aspects of building a business all the way down to incredibly specific local data and legal revenues depending on your business plan. I put in hours of research for each weeks assignments and was regularly told it was too general and was given just above a 70 each week.

Genuinely the worst professor and worst experience I had at UMGC. I cannot begin to tell you how terrible this class was and I am surprised that it was a core requirement for my major. I wish I had read reviews prior to taking this course so I would have known to avoid it, but alas, I went in with high hopes. Avoid this professor at all costs.

Gave terrible feedback, tough grader, took points off for things not specified in instructions or rubric. In his feedback responses, he used improper grammar and spelled things wrong which is ironic since he's such a hard grader.

Quite literally the worst professor I've ever had.
