Reviews of professor Adam Clark

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Do the zybooks and the labs, worth all lot more than you think. You can get D's on the midterms and finals and still pass if everything else is higher than a C. He is very vague so make sure you do some outside reading aside from the slide. He just reads off the slides. If you ask a question, prepare to get an answer that's irrelevant and won' help

Save yourself the headache and do not take him. Only 2 grades the midterm and the final in this class. Our class average grade with the midterm and final was a 71% average. Somehow he did not curve the class at ALL. You cannot go back on questions on his exams either once you chose an answer you are stuck with it. Genuinely just 1 of the worst ppl.

This is the most, "high risk high reward," class I have ever taken. The grading scale is 50% midterm and 50% final. Lectures aren't mandatory, no materials given, accessibility was mixed, and overall was a teach yourself class.

Was pretty difficult but not impossible. A lot of the class is self-study by reading whole chapters of the textbook. If you did well in pre-req classes you may not struggle too much. It is very lecture heavy and lessons are hard to grasp through them.

This is a DIY class. Two Test and No Quizzes. I don't see how people are voting him as a good professor unless they are using outside resources to pass. Our class had the most amount of people pass the final with 10/20 points. Take someone else. He does not care or respond to messages.

Overall grade is based on 2 exams, 20 questions each. Can't go back on questions, there are no study guides, and the questions are nothing like the lectures/book. He claims to curve the exam grades but backed out of curving the first one. Save yourself the stress and look elsewhere. Even prev reviews mention quizzes that have since been omitted.

Reads off the slides. If you ask a question, prepare to get an answer that is more confusing than the Labs. Attendance is not mandatory but if you miss a class you will be lost for the future labs. Midterm and final are completely different than what is shown in class. No practice exams. Trust your groupmates or you will be doing the work yourself.

Prof Clark is legit one of the better professors I've had at CSUN. I really enjoyed attending his lectures and I actually learned and retained the information. Genuinely, you will get a better experience with the professor and the class if you engage and ask questions during lecture (and make small jokes). Buy this man a cake. Great experience!

if your'e looking for a professor who will actually explain stuff to you and link it back to classes you've taken before, take Adam Clark!
This 310 class  was superb! While class attendance isn't mandatory, and he will tell you this, each lecture you do attend you'll learn and build on the last. There are quizzes but they aren't terrible.
