Reviews of professor James Dever

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Not the best professor but not the worst. A lot of people say he's rude in email, but he was very kind towards me and quick to reply. I haven't taken the final yet, so i can't attest for the exam difficulty. Weekly Packback assignments & quizzes, as long as you participate & don't absolutely bomb the final it should be an easy A/B class.

DON'T TAKE DEVER! I did not think the reviews could be true... they are. I don't think Dever actually does anything. The weekly quizzes are true/false only with ridiculously tough questions and grammatical errors galore. The pack-back is a waste of time (1000 words/week) and AI graded. His exams are insanely detailed. Be prepared to teach yourself!

This class is h3ll lol. The class is structured around weekly packback discussions and quizzes. The packback discussions have an unnecessarily large word count and are graded with AI. I haven't taken the final yet, but this class is pure busy work and a waste of time.

Dever may get a tough rep but he has so much wisdom and experience to offer. You can tell he actually cares about his students and is passionate about what he teaches. He loves to engage in class conversations and is really funny and adorable. Class is textbook heavy but as long as you keep up with the work, you should be successful.

Dr Dever is not only the best Professor I have ever had at FSU, but also a magnificent mentor and friend. A wise, all around business man who cares deeply about his students, their success and will help you learn by giving you his own life experiences! He has changed the way I see marketing, and has further inspired me and my ambitions in business!

Weekly pack backs that are useless, you have a 500 word requirement, and then you have to post a question and respond to a student. Weekly quizzes just as useless, they take time as you have to find the answers from the book and PowerPoint, but you have unlimited time. Tests are difficult and dumb. I expect a B all said and done. Avoid bro if u can

Professor Dever is by far one of the worst teachers I've ever had in my academic career. He doesn't teach or grade (uses an AI website called Packback instead) for the weekly assignments, and the final exam is filled with repeated questions that make zero sense. Avoid him like the plague.

One of the worst and most useless classes I've taken. Almost the entire class is online discussion boards that are AI graded. You end up writing about 900 words a week and the professor or TA doesn't even look at your work. Dever is rude and inaccessible via email. This class is a scam, but you have to take it to graduate.
