Reviews of professor Ormonde Cragun

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Cragun is an eccentric guy. He has corporate experience and it was interesting to listen to his stories. I would NOT want to take an upper division with him. He seems to not take class very seriously and failed to prepare me for the real world. This being said, it is an easy class to get an A or B in. If you need to take him for general HR, do it.

You don't need the textbook because he takes all the material for the tests from the slides he lectures on in class and he posts them online as well. Some of the tests are a little difficult, but as long as you study you should do just fine in this course. Ormonde made 8am lecture enjoyable and he also emphasizes that attendance isn't mandatory!

His lectures and homework are essentially useless when exam time comes around, and you might have a stroke trying to read his questions. His first exam I took in HR literally had nothing to do with what we discussedin class/did HW on, but rather remembering tiny details hidden in the textbook. Aside from his lamentable lectures, hes subpar at best.

He is okay, I couldn't stand his rants which were pointless to the material (especially at 8 am). His final was ridiculous. 134 questions and 10 of which where "extra credit" however if you didn't answer the extra credit questions it counts against you. There is a lot of busy work like CHROs. Easy class if that's what you are looking for.

Great teacher! Makes lectures interesting and gives lots of tools to help with exam. Open book exams but the final is pretty hard its about 120 questions for 2 hours. Average for my class was 68%. Other exams were a lot easier

Super fun person, keeps the atmosphere very friendly and open. His tests are easy, theres a quiz for every lecture which are easy points if you attend class. He responds in a timely manner to emails. Homework is just some book work a few times a week, super easy! Hes really a fun person!

Ormonde spent many years in the HR field before becoming a professor so he has a lot of corporate stories he tells during lecture which keeps the lectures pretty interesting. His tests were pretty easy but there are a lot of questions for a short amount of test taking time so they can be harder if you read slowly. Overall, I would highly recommend.

Amazing professor. Goes off of textbook online. Gives lectures every day and has quiz at the end of lecture that counts as attendance in a way. Has exams that are correlated with the amount of questions (60 questions 60 minutes). Doesn't curve first three tests, but has cumulative final and is open to curve that. Good teacher overall.
