Reviews of professor Phil Tua

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He doesn't give many assignments. You only get four discussion essays that are about 500 words each, the midterm and the final. You also get the attendance grade and class participation grade. His lectures are mediocre at best and tend to misrepresent current and previous events as he goes on tangents. Overall, I do not recommend this professor.

Will accuse of you being politically biased while being openly biased and borderline passive-aggressive in every single announcement. Does not know how to disagree respectfully or limit his feedback to constructive criticism. Make sure to reply to every possible announcement since they count towards attendance, they will affect your grade.

I honestly do not recommend this professor. He barely gives any assignments which means the mid-term and final are essentially your only grades. Also, If a student makes a C or D in his class he considers this good since it is passing. I do not recommend at all.

Best teacher ever. Very interesting lectures and I'm genuinely excited every day to come to class. Makes very boring subject entertaining. I HIGHLY recommend this class.

Porf. Tua is a great teacher. He's funny and hes very knowledgeable about what hes talking about. If you're a strong writer, I assume you would be able to pass the class with flying colors. He's not as hard as the first class or two.

 I had his online course this semester and all I can say is that personally its one of the worst learning experiences I've had so far. The times I have emailed him he's about the least helpful you could get when it comes to his email responses. His online material he gives us extremely long, I would say to expect a 30-60 slide PowerPoint every week

Phil is a stickler for formatting and grammar in the assignments. Expect no input from him, except for a 50-60 slide powerpoint that counts as a "lesson". Will accuse you of writing a biased paper whenever you mention events relevant to the topic at hand. It all feels like he's doing the absolute bare minimum of teaching a course.
