Reviews of professor Stephen McCauley

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He's a very rude person. I think that rigor is fine and should be expected in some classes, but the way he approaches his students should not be acceptable. No clearly defined expectations for his class and writing standards, only very rude remarks when you don't meet his undefined criteria. Would never consider taking him again.

Is really big on the proper use of APA formatting. Do NOT put the questions within the assignment in your answer, or you will get docked for it. Difficult to get a hold of I emailed him 2 weeks ago for an assignment issue I had no response yet. Using only Textbook citations is not adequate.

A ton of work each. Suggest taking this class solo.

I actually dropped this class after reading his announcement for the first week of class. He stated that we had to show substantial understanding, which is fine, but wants us to write 250 words minimum and them goes on to state we can't use first person. He stated he'll mark down for little things.Seems like he's on a power trip about his classes.

This teacher is arrogant, out of touch, and just plain rude. There is no teaching in this class, just his projected opinion of what is right and wrong. No ability to think outside his realm, and it shows through his interactions. Also, assigns an unnecessary amount of work. Prepare for busy work and unprofessional snarky comments. AMU is a joke.

Very odd that he didn't want us to use the texbook. Has papers weekly and grades harder than any professor I've had so far. Seems far too serious and impedes learning by being too precise as opposed to allowing conversation and learning to flourish.

I can not say anything good about this Professor. Be prepared for a lot of work and a tough grader in conjunction with the workload. 8 assignments 2 pg minimum, 8 forums 300 word minimum, 2 quiz, a current affair report , and 10-155 pg research report (normal, but still). Does not ans messages and does not seem caring. Also, very vague w/ assignm's

I am in week 5 of 8. Class setup reminds me of highschool, its a lot of work. He expects you to know the material. Writing conventions must be on point. He does not accept fluff. In my opinion, excellent prof. Haven't had to work hard or any grade until now. Don't take with another class you know you will sturggle in but highly recommend.
