Reviews of professor Troy Fassbender

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Okay so, Fassbender makes his class so much harder than it needs to be. You have weekly participation assignments to do and then the writing assignments sometimes. The writing assignments are whats really hard to get a 100 on. It's just two paragraphs but still hard. Then the tests will be like 6 questions but they can be so hard too.

Fassbender was a good professor - the class consisted of a weekly pre-recorded lecture that usually lasted about an hour, which I had to take *heavy* notes on - as well as a writing assignment every week and another one every other week. Overall it wasn't too bad but you will seriously have to study for the midterm and the final.

Unnecessarily difficult tests make up your whole grade. Class riddled with busy work that doesn't count. I understood the content and studied for hours only to fail the exams because of their weird out of place ambiguity. Prof said no curves because the class average was a low C. So, in his words, the majority of students can expect around a C.

Best Professor yet! He is absolutely fantastic and makes the class funny and relatable. As long as you go to class and pay attention, you should understand the course material but if you don't he will help you when he can. Assignments are done in class and very little to no homework besides some reading. Take any of his courses if you can!

I looked forward to this class every week. He is easily one of the best teachers I have ever had. When the virus hit, he sat with me and helped me figure out the online stuff so I could pass. I'm going to be taking him again. If you don't like the course he's teaching, however, don't take him. He doesn't want people showing up for an easy A.

This was a tough class to begin with but if you complete the required readings, and ask questions when you don't understand you will be fine. Fair grader, tests were tough but if you understand the material you will pass. Ask questions! Do the work. Prof. Fassbender was kind and made the material understandable.

This was an online class for Philosophy of Human Communication. There are 16 minor assignments graded on pass or fail and 4 major in which you must get a 70% overall to pass. I watched the video lectures and took notes and received 100% on all my assignments. If you do the work the class is no problem. Professor is also responsive to emails.

Professor just gives us pre-recorded powerpoints that are just taken from the textbook, but somehow still riddled with typos. 75% of your grade is based on 4 exams, which have little to do with the lectures sadly. Lots of homework but it is worth almost nothing since your whole grade is from the tests. Never gets deeper than the book, no philosophy
