Reviews of professor LaCalvince Simpson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The worst instructor I've had. He's dry, uncaring, and I missed a due date on an assignment by one hour that originally had a different due date, so he asked me to call him so he could berate me for twenty minutes straight and tell me the "real world" doesn't care. I have a professional career already, but his behavior was pathetic.

Horrible at responding to emails, pop quizzes, tons of group work, and has a student teacher do all the grading.

I personally did not like his way of teaching. The teacher was a tough grader and not easy going. I had difficult time understanding him.

Except to spend most of your time on this easy class. Teacher is tough, makes easy assignments hard.

Loves giving quizzes and tests and then muting the grade so the whole semester had no idea what my grades were. Also would tell leave comments on my homework stating it wasn't good, but won't say what's wrong so there is no room for improvement. Also not good at checking email, in an online class.

In class he is super laid back. He would do powerpoints and engage in conversations. He did expect you to pay attention, but if he felt it was a meaningful day he would let you out early or with no homework.

This professor will post every assignment on the Canvas dashboard except for the quizzes. Which in turn, makes you forget about them if you don't check the modules page of the class. Asked him if I could retake them and his response was "that's not a valid excuse". After our talk, he posted every quiz on the dashboard after bringing it up to him.

Instructions on assignments are often unclear and require clarification, but instructor does not respond to e-mails (big issue for an online course). I had multiple e-mails this semester go without any response. He fell more than a month behind on grading assignments twice during semester, hard to know where you stand, grade-wise during semester.

I took M300 during first summer session and he was such a great professor for it. He was always more than willing to schedule a zoom call when I had questions about an assignment or needed feedback and was quick to answer emails. He does have very specific criteria for the assignments, but as long as you follow them youll get a good grade.
