Reviews of professor David Purnell

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The class was overall pretty easy. However, this professor was very unfair throughout the whole quarter. Opened and closed 3 assignments on Thanksgiving day. Very petty. You can expect very long boring lectures. Sometimes he goes off topic with stories from his past. He also hardly responds to emails. 2/10 definitely would not recommend.

Great teacher! He gives great feedback on all assignments. There are group posts, you just post a reply & reply to a few peers. There is some reading to do, not a lot. A couple of papers that are not hard, he's clear on the grading criteria. The final paper wasn't hard. The tests aren't hard, you have 3 attempts to do most of them. 10/10 Recommend

Professor Purnell is pretty straightforward. Gives clear directions on assignments. Quizzes based off reading. Enough time for assignments. His only faults are that he doesnt respond very quickly to emails. Takes some time grading. This can be pretty frustrating but he does recognize an issue if it is on his behalf. Overall not a bad professor.
