Has him Jan 2020 for In person class. The way he teaches is to the point and he gives clear examples of what he's explaining. There was 2 papers and one was group which are high % of your grade so work hard on them & hope for a great group! Pay attention to what he says in class lectures b/c those are what he looks for as answers on his tests.

It's all theory base class and the exams are difficult. He make the exam difficult by using unique vocabulary that I bet no one will know what it means except him

Pros: Nice, teaches in an understandable engaging way, approachable, willing to talk after class and clarify questions.
Cons: 2 group presentations, 1 group paper, often he'll ask us to discuss the topic with neighbouring students, maybe not the greatest if you're extremely shy, introverted, or anxious.

Class is super boring. Topics are just fancy words for common sense stuff. Neil is nice enough, but he grades excessively and tests are super difficult. He also doesn't give any feedback on your term paper (which you'll probably get a C or C+ on at most). 

Neil, cut your students some slack.

Sets up groups based on a video introduction - had the best group experience of any class so far.

 In 3 hour class, 30-40 minutes of lecture, 20 mins group discussion and the rest is on the students to present.  Students are not skilled in explaining it is his job and he is making his students do his job. Exams are explaining concepts but how can you explain when the instructor does not lecture much for you to understand?

He is a great professor but his teaching doesn't help you passing the exam. Good luck on self studying

Too basic class, don't take it if you are an experienced worker, this class should not be part of post degree diplomas or certificates.

About Neil: Nice guy, very respectful with students, he has a lot of work experience, but a tricky grader. His exams are hard in MC questions, please read every aspect of the book.
