Reviews of professor David Purnell

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Purnell was the best college professor I have ever had. He is caring about every single one of his students, easy to get ahold of, and tells amazingly inspirational stories. It was an easy A and I hope I get to take another class with him

This is probably THE worst Professor I have ever encountered. Wow, I have never met such a condescending and rude Professor. He gets angry with students when suggestions are made, so DO NOT challenge him unless you want to be yelled at. Critiques way too hard without a rubric. You will fail if you do not know how to cite or write.

One of my classmate said it is chill class... but I dont know. I spend 40% of my entire study time on this class. Since one assignment and one discussion each week and i am terrible at writting... The professor is good at keep class active. And grading is not that hard. Free textbook online.

He gave me feedback for the second draft of one of my papers 4 hours before it was due and told me to rewrite it entirely. Added an assignment during finals weeks that was not on the syllabus. Responded days after I would email him, after due date had passed. Don't teach communications if you don't communicate with your students.

Good teacher. The schedule is easy to follow. You will learn some interesting things. In class all you do is have group discussions .

The class itself was super boring and get ready for a LOT of writing assignments after every class for hw. They were easy things to write about tho & they didnt have to be a certain amnt of pages. Teacher is a caring respectful man and an easy grader (if you show effort, that is). Overall- easy class if you dont mind writing papers/discussions.

Get ready to spend time reading and doing busy work. I think a communication teacher should have good communication skills, dont' you? Wont take again.

was a great teacher! talks about information that youll actually be able to use in real life. there were no tests only quizzes online so he knew you were reading the material. 10/10 would recommend!

CMST 210 taught by Professor Purnell was ok. The grading was fine but it was just the lack of communication that concerns me. I saw some students struggling in their discussion post.

The worst professor I have ever encountered. No clear grading criteria or feedback on content of assignments.
Focuses only on format of citations. takes it personally when course content or teaching feedback is provided. 
An exceptionally poor instructor who displayed a total lack of effort or interest in students. Its shocking he is still employed
