Reviews of professor Wesley McCann

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
worst professor ever. worst class. goes through material too fast and doesn't post slides, no time to write what he's saying and he expects you to know everything even though he's assigning like over 100 pages a week. Does not know how to teach, exams used to be open note but not anymore so you're screwed.

McCann is smart to the point where you feel stupid, but if you ask for clarification, he gives it. It's an INTENSE amount of reading with weekly quizzes so you can cry about it (I did) but my C in the class was lowkey really hard to get, so come in knowing that you will have to work hard. COVID made it much harder but just prepare for it.

I took this as a summer class online. I got an A and all I did was watch his lectures. The first week was bad because it was shorter than the others but the work was very doable. The discussions were very easy, and responding wasnt that bad. You have to watch a season of The Wire which can be time consuming but the only bad part was a group member

Dr. McCann is really smart and theres nothing wrong with that, but sometimes he was hard to understand. If your answers in this course lack depth you generally wont do well. Also he grades participation and honestly raising your hand will probably help you understand the content in the class more. Each class starts with group work.

McCann is a teacher that definitely makes you work for the grade, but it is achievable. There are weekly readings, quizzes, and class discussions. However, everything is spelled out very clearly. All of the quizzes and exams are very straightforward. Show up to class and participate in class, it really counts! He's always available outside of class

AWFUL. He literally is the worst at teaching, I swear to god, he just expects you to know everything and has no regard for the fact you have other classes by assigning copious amounts of reading every week, and he just expects you to "remember everything from week 1 to now" including class exercises for exams so enjoy. Goes through stuff too fast.

Professor McCann is a very knowledgeable person, however; he is a very strict grader which is what I dislike. His feedback wasn't quite that helpful either. His lectures are pretty interesting and it's fun to be able to speak and work with others in class given the topic.

This professor is incredibly professional and quite stoic in character. He is incredibly fair. If you have issues making it to a assignment he accommodates. Very smart and worldly. But he is serious and grades very closely.

Super smart professor who knows his stuff. You will have to read for the class and there are really difficult quizzes. Overall, it's hard work but you come out of the class learning something which, after all, is the point of college.
