Reviews of professor Erick Valentine

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Best choice for ACCN3010. Emphasizes learning and solving problems which is super useful, wants you to succeed. Very helpful and accessible in office hours, fun to talk to, and all around a great prof. Like with any 3010 class, if you put in the work, participate and ask questions it's an easy A. Can't recommend Valentine enough, he's phenomenal.

My experience with Prof Valentine this semester was great! He is very clear about what to expect on the exam, and the exam questions are straightforward if you prepare. He is such a caring guy who genuinely wants his students to do well. The lowest exam is only worth 10% of your grade and he offers an exam re-work to earn more points. Loved him!

Professor Valentine shows up to class every day ready to teach and inspire. His lectures are both interesting and well delivered. 5/5

Dr. Valentine did not teach us anything but instead made us teach ourselves the material using the textbook. I would not have even bothered going to class since I taught myself the class anyway but attendance is a grade.

I have had a great experience with Prof. Valentine this semester. He has always been easily accessible outside of class, and he is a good person who genuinely wants his students to succeed. As long as you put in the work, pay attention in class, and engage/ask questions, he will like you. Worst grade out of your 2 midterms only has a 10% weight!

I understand why some people dont love Dr. V but he is an amazing professor. He does not explain the material too well but it is easy enough to teach yourself. He basically gives you an 100 on everything but the exams you need to earn your grade for. Classes dont last the whole time and exams online. Overall great class with a great professor.

As the other reviews say, he mentioned personal issues outside of class this semester, so I will cut him some slack. However, this was the most disorganized class I have ever taken. He constantly changed his mind about everything. Class is just him lecturing from an excel sheet. Fairly easy, but an absolute mess of a class in every way.

Great and funny. He likes participation. Classes are mostly practice problems with little lecturing. I only took 5.5 pages of notes for the entire semester. The content is difficult for some. He can be disorganized, but if you tell him he's made a mistake, he owns up to it. Everything except exams are completion grades. He wants you to get an A.

Worst prof ever. He is incredibly mentally disorganized which means he is rambling during lectures. The canvas is a mess and every resource was stolen from other professors. He puts 0 effort into lectures as he just reads off excel sheets, never explaining what we're learning. He lost my test twice. However, he was helpful with his exam weighting.
