Reviews of professor Raymond Rowley

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Overall a very pleasant class. There were 5 chapters of top hat due every month and a test after each set of chapters. Attendance doesnt matter and he is very laid back. Hes a very nice person and cares about his students. I learned a lot from him.

I took his intro to homeland security class because I thought about it as a possible career choice and I'm glad I did. There were a lot of guest speakers which I found helpful rather than listening to lectures. Only thing is I wish there were more grades, the only grades are mid-term, final, and attendance. Also is a really nice and funny teacher!

I was honestly unsure if I should've taken Professor Rowley's course because of some previous negative responses. However, I am super glad I did stick with his course he is funny & nice,his course is very lecture heavy. But he does bring in a lot of guest speakers so that you can get more insight on different career maths within homeland security.

Personable, was an ATF agent for decades, very knowledgable. He goes off of the textbook, but he gives lots of personal anecdotes, lots of group discussion. (He also has a new york accent and cusses appropriately ofc) Very few things graded however (3 quizzes, a final + tophat assignments which are graded on completion) Long lectures, not mandatory

Would absolutely recommend taking a class with this professor. His class was well-organized, the lectures were always interactive and interesting, and the workload was not excessive. He cares about your learning experience above everything else.

There were a lot of guest speakers which I found helpful because they talked about their jobs and what they did to get there. Only thing is I wish there were more grades, the only grades are mid-term, final, and attendance.

Professor Rowley is the best professor in GMU, He cares for students and always has room for opinions. His class consist of 2 quizes, a midterm, and a final exam. All exams are on blackboard and are easy. Professor Rowley is the best, I wish if he had other classes in the future so I can register with him.

Thought this was going to be an interesting class... lectures were boring, everything came from horrible PP slides. Midterm, *cumulative* final, mandatory attendance (snooze), group project. Project had no guidelines besides a sentence or two in the syllabus. Times for the presentation kept changing and grading was not clear at all. Pass.
