Had Professor Mowell for SSGS500. It was different than my usual political science classes. He does offer good feedback and how to improve your writing. lots of work but the assignments are enjoyable because of the challenge. Reminded me more of a science class. useful knowledge. very understanding about out of class situations. would take again!

Dr. No well is very unclear in his expectations for assigned papers. The wording he uses when making the assignment is highly confusing. Grading criteria is alright. Yes I passed but would not take again.

Dr. Mowell gives credit where it is due; if you follow the rubric and are participating in the weekly forum you're good.  The forum was a place where he would challenge you with insight and perspective.  The course assignments build upon one another so his feedback was always helpful for your next assignment which allowed continuous improvement.

I had Dr. Mowell for a few graduate classes. On discussion forums, even though I submitted some intials late (time zone in Hawii), he would still credit 100. I would assume this is because I wrote about 300-500 more words than the minimum and would heavily participate. When it came to the papers, I have definitely had easier. Watch out for grammer.

Dr. Mowell provided great feedback on papers so that future papers would come together. He grades in a timely manner and grades fairly. I've had Dr. Mowell before during my undergrad and hope to have him for more classes for my Masters.

I've never received such horrible feedback on anything I have written before. In a way, I feel as though because you are allowed to resubmit assignments, he grades lower on purpose. I have never had "C" work and it has really bothered me that I receive praise in my forums, but not on papers. Thank you for ruining my 4.0 GPA on a 200 level course.
