Reviews of professor James Vidrickson

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I don't recommend him for an online course. Some weeks the workload is light with hour long videos, other times theres 3 quizzes and 3 assignments for the week. Although the class was async its a lot to juggle with other priorities. participation matters. Idc if you ask how the classes week was on the forum, just say something. Textbook is valuable

Learning how to learn was a pretty easy course overall. This course has you complete two MOOCs and write two papers. Make sure you post a few discussion questions/posts related to the content in the discussion board to get your participation points.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS HE IS DISORGANIZED AND ABSENT FROM TEACHING HIS STUDENTS. THIS CLASS IS THE DOWNFALL TO MY GPA. HE WILL GIVE YOU SO MUCH HOMEWORK AND UNORGANIZED VIDEOS BEWARE!!!

I had him for ISE 1170. This professor was pretty good, and easy, he takes grades for participation which is basically extra credit, and the courses we had to take for the major class grade was pretty easy and actually interesting. It was mind shift and learning how to learn course. Two essays are due at the end of the semester, he is accessible.

Professor Vidrickson made my How Things Work online course experience smooth and educational. I'm a psych major, so I wasn't thrilled about any of the applied science gen ed courses, but Prof. V was easily available via email and outlined clear expectations that were consistent throughout the course.
