Reviews of professor Rory Vance

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Doesnt post notes online, power points are very vague. Very lecture heavy and 13 pop quizzes are given + 3 exams.

his class is super easy. he gives 13 pop quizzes and only grades 10 so the points you get on the other 3 are extra credit. Only 2/5 of the questions are real, the other 3 are opinion so you are guaranteed at least a 3/5 on every quiz. tests are online and curves them. lots of people don't like him but thats bc they are too lazy to do basic work.

By mandatory, it means you will take POP quizzes that cover material from the book and it is important to take them because besides the tests, they are by far the only grades taken into account; good news is that you are guaranteed a 3/5. He is decent and passionate, but in general this course is naturally tedious, and his tests need improvement.

Somehow ended up in his class even though I signed up for a different professor--shout out to UTSA :/ But it was a pretty bad class and disorganized overall. He never posted slides online and his lectures didn't help prepare for the tests at all. Tests were online but always seemed to be HORRIBLY worded or misspelled. Take another professor

Lecture heavy class with no notes online. 3 exams, all online. His exams are overly complicated  he tries to make his questions very tough by changing the wording. Pop quizzes usually every other lecture. Powerpoints are not detailed and he is overall a poor lecturer.

I had him for his first semester and it wasn't that bad. He is VERY lecture heavy and he doesn't put them online. His powerpoints also dont contain a lot of information. His pop quizzes are over assigned readings. Three tests and they are all online. I was able to get an "A" but I did go to EVERY class.

He does random quizzes as a way to get people to show up. There's three tests throughout the whole class, but he has so many grammatical error's in the tests. He gives a review but it's not a great one. He's a horrible lecturer.
