Reviews of professor Martin Konan

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Graded everything on the day before grades were to close. He'd spend time topic going through content covered in the principal classes and then go deep into it which is helpful. Classes are basically copying things from the board but not really engaging. However, there is a lot of homework some of which is good practice for the final.

Martin's lectures are fun and his exams are online asynchronous which is nice, but he never releases grades until like a month later, and goes so fast. Also goes off the textbook and no lecture notes are posted so if you skip class you will fall so far behind.

Please please please do yourself a favor and do not take this professor. Yes he cares, and is not a bad guy. But his class interaction, his teaching style, and overall effectiveness is awful. At the start of the semester, questions were discouraged and if you do he's stubborn.

Class is super lecture-heavy, and material can be confusing because the topics are so similar but with minute differences. If you don't take notes, it'll be easy to get distracted, but the tests are pretty difficult. All the HW is due at the end of the semester, so don't leave it to the end.

Lectures are not the most engaging, course uses Cengage MindTap for HW which doesn't work half the time and he doesn't do anything about it. The exams are pretty difficult, although they're take-home over multiple days which was probably the only positive thing about this course. Would avoid if at all possible. Also, he doesn't respond to emails.

Konan's lecture style is fine. The main problems were, 1 attendance is the mandatory, counts towards final grade, no online option even if you are sick. 2 he does almost never responds to email. 3 you pretty much teach yourself everything from the textbook. 4 he started assigning in class HW, 2hr worth, completed after class due by 11:59 that day.

God awful. Prepare to teach everything yourself
