Reviews of professor Duane Pierce

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Good person, dull professor. Long homework assignments were given and the textbook was only used a handful of times. Attendance was mandatory, but most people played 2048 the entire class and got away with it.  Final project was stressful. Despite all this, it was an easy A. Gave an open note exam and final.

The lectures were sluggish but mandatory. He was an extremely easy grader, you could sleep through his class (and it was very tempting to do so). If you did listen to lectures you would hear him complain about his wife and ask questions like "What would you do if you owned slaves?" that went out to silence. Wish he was a better public speaker.

Duane Pierce is one of the best professors at Clarkson University. He is a pleasure to talk to outside of class in office hours and after class. He is very understanding of peoples situations and is willing to ease the workload so you may complete it. He also is a fair person that make everything a lot smoother throughout the semester

He was a very nice man, but not the best professor. His moodle page was hard to navigate and tell when things were due. The journals are more tedious than hard. My biggest complaint is that he didn't return work well, so we didn't know where to improve

What an amazing guy. I loved his class, and I looked forward to that hour every day. I thought the course was easy and he really was relaxed on graded material. He made good time out of a class that was deemed boring by people under other professors.

He is a great person with a good personality but a lot of the work is busy work. Can get away with doing minimal work on the homework. Most people sleep in this class and you can get an easy A
