Reviews of professor Alexander McKay

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
One of the best teachers Ive had at VCU. Cares so much about teaching and he actually cares that students are understanding the material. There was very little homework, just mini assignments each week but they go along with the lesson learned in class. Professor McKay makes coming to class enjoyable and is always there to help.

I would avoid this professor because his lectures are very monotonous and he is a very tough grader. Some of his grading rubrics are deceiving because I would follow every direction he listed and still do horrible. When pointing out his mistakes on the grading he becomes very defensive and tries to dismiss them without a good explanation.

One of the worst professors in the business school. Avoid him at all costs.

Prof. Mckay is a great choice for MGMT 303. I never found the work load to be too overbearing and he is really understanding. Sometimes he made us think when I just wanted to stare at the wall, but I appreciate that.

He takes off points for every little thing. Be careful. You follow the rubric, he will still find a way to take off points. Although the assignments made me think, if our homework didn't make him think he would take off 1 points out of 4 points. So I almost always got a 2/4 or 3/4
