Reviews of professor Randy Pellew

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
If you are wondering whether to take pellew or zarcone for pharm 2, take pellew. His tests are just so much easier compared, and all you have to do is go to class, write down what he says and highlights, and JUST STUDY WHAT HE HIGHLIGHTED/SAID IN CLASS. He is so so straightforward with his exams, you cannot do bad. He wants everyone to get an A

Best teacher to take for pharm 2. Exams have a lot of content and you definitely need to study but they are super straight forward. His lectures are short and clear. No textbook needed or hw. He's super passionate about what he teaches and a funny teacher. He gives extensions if needed and gives extra credit. Great teacher to take, highly recommend

Pellew is a good professor. I did not like how he stated at the begging of the class if you needed a little boost to help you out a letter grade, as long as you did good in the class he would. Well I ended up with an 89.8% average and did all the assignments and was on top of everything and nothing. Never answers email not even if is an emergency.

Pellew is okay, he definitely rushes through the lectures. Recording them may be helpful, so you can use as a study resource. His powerpoints lack information, so be ready to supplement with a lot of at home studying. ATIs, 2 exams, 1 paper, the ATI content mastery & a final. He does offer math sheets as extra credit.

Cares about students and is to the point. If you need help he is available outside of class and answers quickly via email. He actually works in a ER so he isn't a stickler like many others. Pay attention, go to class**, review material after class and listen to what he says during class**.

I agree with whoever said, "don't believe the hype"! Professor Pellew says everything is "simple and straightforward" but his tests were NOT. He was intentionally tricky which is why he always had to give points afterward! Why give a blueprint for a final exam and then include 6 questions on a topic which was not on the blueprint? It's a no for me.

He means well but his teaching style needs help. He is very vague in his lectures, his PowerPoints are not helpful, just crowded with information. His exams include information he doesn't cover. The math questions are DIFFICULT. 2 exams, a final, a few ATIs and a paper are what you're graded on. He does NOT respond to emails, ever.

 Lectures did not reflect the materials we were tested on. The lecture on cardiac, endocrine and respiratory drugs took place following an exam, and was 45 minutes. This is a masters level class I aspire to become a nurse practitioner and I feel ill equipped with so little information provided in his courses.
