Reviews of professor James Vining

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He teaches confusing and talks way too much. You'll be bored out of your mind in class just waiting for it to be over. He gives tons of homework but won't explain to help you really understand it. Tests don't have anything to do with his lectures. He tells corny & lame 80's jokes. I'd warn anybody I know don't take him or they'll be sorry.

Professor Vining is amazing! His lectures are kind of boring but he is always there to help when its needed. Hi class is super easy and he makes public speaking easier for people who are shy or have really bad anxiety. I would recommend this class to people who are afraid of public speaking. He is a very inspirational professor.

First of all when I went to do this rating on him, his name came up for three different schools. I think that's a sign that a Professor obviously can't teach when they bounces around that much. His lectures are boring, he grades too hard and won't explain assignments. I thought this would be a basic general studies class instead it was a nightmare.

Professor Vining made a class that should've been fun miserable. We had to give a speech the second week of school! The way he teaches this class doesn't seem like intro level at all. Too many hard homework assignments. The midterm and final for class on about seven to eight chapters each which is nuts. I won't ever take him for anything again.

As a first semester graduate student, Dr. Vining was a blessing. In the beginning of class he explained that graduate school isn't for everyone and it gets tough, yet we're in these seats for a reason. Amongest the many applications submitted, we were selected. This speech was very much so needed. The class wasn't difficult . Participation is huge.

Dr. Vining will tell the most GOD AWFUL jokes, and the laugh at them for 5 min. Besides this, he's a great professor and cares about the success of his students. I reccomend taking a course taught him if you're able. 

If you do, please laugh at his jokes.
