Reviews of professor Timothy O'Connor

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
get ready to take the hardest tests ever. Grading doesn't even make sense, he looks for answers so specific that you wouldnt remember them if you had the answer key. Reading is so boring, and if you have an interpretation other than his, you're wrong and good luck.

Interesting course. Weekly quizzes during the discussion section. Readings help with those but are not that necessary for exams. The professor tries to make the class engaging and can be funny. Gives a study guide with the exact test questions. Use the PowerPoint to fill out the study guide and you will get an A on exams. super easy for a gen-ed.

First Day of class Professor O'Connor removed A+ from the grade scale and claimed no one was going to receive an A+ in his class, and very few, if any, would receive an A at all. Do not take this class for an easy A. Readings are long and difficult to comprehend at times. Seemed like an OK guy but I felt as though he wasn't there for his students.

My friend summed up this class perfectly, "He has little respect for the philosophical capabilities of his students, and he loves to hear himself talk. This leads to lectures with no open discussion... His exams consist of regurgitating arguments instead of philosophizing."

for context, I'm a straight A student and salutatorian of my class. Took this 1st sem Freshman year. by far the hardest class I had to get in an A in, with biology chemistry and sociology. The professors lectures were unorganized and not helpful to class. reading reactions-easy. AI graders and seemed subjective. class was out of 100 pts. NOT EASY!

Prof. O'Connor's course was boring the majority of the time. Lectures are boring and consist of Tim talking the whole hour. Attendance is not mandatory for lectures and all the notes can be found online. There are four grades total, two exams, a paper, and writing assingment. Exams are quite easy and are exact same as the study guide.
