He certainly knows his stuff, but it's extremely hard to learn from him as he doesn't explain things well or in depth enough for a student. I don't recommend him, but if you wind up having him, learn a lot during your discussion and your own independent studying. In lecture, you can get a lot out of him if you ask questions. May 9th, Attendance: Mandatory. All he did in lecture was go over the homework questions people had which was optional and if you didn't questions he lets you go early.
If you make a mistake at the beginning of the problem, the whole question is wrong and you get 0 points. The whole grade is based on the tests. Apr 21st, Textbook: Yes. Save yourself! This class is hard enough and when a professor can't teach He does answer questions, but it always confuses me even more. Please if you care about your GPA and it is mandatory to take this class..
DON'T take it with him.. I wish someone told me this before Apr 18th, If you value your education avoid this professor. He almost is always late to lecture and unorganized. The only thing I will give him is he's smart and will answer any question. Feb 25th, This is the worst professor in the world. If you want to learn something or try to pass the class, don't ever try to take this profession.
He always skip the steps when he was trying to explain, that makes our life much harder. Never prepare for class. Overall, he doesnt worth a one. Dec 14th, We encourage our members to join us in promoting transparency and participation in this process by attending future bargaining sessions! Simply No From the beginning, Administration negotiators have been solely interested in seeing our economic proposals, regarding raises, development funds, etc.
Instead, these discussions have revealed that the Administration has no intention of addressing any substantive issues. Despite it costing them little or nothing to, for example, commit to greater transparency in workload and discipline policies, Administration has consistently chosen to stonewall. They even eventually dropped the pretense of wanting to weigh these proposals on fundamental workplace rights against the cost of our salaries. Unfortunately, our bargaining team is already all too familiar with this dismissive attitude toward faculty priorities.
Given the lackluster response at the bargaining table, and a questionable negotiating history in general, we increasingly suspect that there will be no serious negotiation without serious action on our part. Remember how UIUC Grads were forced to strike this year over something as fundamental as protecting fee waivers?
Or how we ourselves were forced to strike in to get our first contract? The Administration thus far is categorically unwilling to discuss proposals that cost them nothing. Even the UIC Provost has signaled skepticism over basic protections, like an accountable process to review academic freedom violations.
How can we expect any better behavior when real money is on the table? Full Steam Ahead At this point, in the name of moving forward, we have decided to proceed with our comprehensive proposal, including all economic articles. We do this not because we feel it will improve negotiating conditions, but because it is a necessary step as we plan to bring further pressure to bear.
We will, of course, continue to push for robust improvements to workplace rights. We will not support an agreement that trades one for the other, and while we are a long way off from a potential work stoppage, UICUF has not ruled out any action which may be necessary to achieve these meaningful improvements to our contract.
Send a strong message to the Administration by wearing your union colors in solidarity, and attending the session if you are able. We anticipate that economic proposals will be under discussion at this meeting. Until we win a fair contract, we will continue issuing periodic updates via email, facebook , twitter , and here on our website. We are currently engaged in increasingly tough negotiations over our next contract, and the strength and involvement of our membership will be a decisive factor in achieving success in those negotiations.
Since the Administration has clearly signaled that they have no intention of engaging in constructive discussion, it seems that further action will be necessary to reach an agreement that addresses faculty concerns.
Here are a few ways you can get involved in the coming weeks and months, to help us push for a contract that improves working and learning conditions at UIC AND keeps faculty financially secure in the face of rising inflation and local costs-of-living. Every new member is a reminder to the Administration that our bargaining team represents a unified faculty.

Let your colleagues, and U of I Administration, know that you support your bargaining team with a strong showing of your union blues. We currently have 3 major events on the calendar, and certainly more to come.
Serving on a committee, acting as a communicator for your department, or running for an elected position are all great ways to make our union more effective. As contract negotiations unfold, we want to personally encourage you to be an active participant in our union, and the bargaining process.
Everyone in our bargaining unit has a stake in these negotiations, and our strong membership is our greatest leverage at that table. Our Bargaining Team began preparing almost a year ago, and has been meeting with U of I Administration for about 4 months. Power: These articles deal with making sure our working conditions are fair, transparent, and responsive to core academic principles, like shared governance and academic freedom.
Given the fact that they have said NO already to most of our non-economic proposals, we do not feel confident the Administration will say YES to raising our salaries. Which brings us to the proposals currently on the table.
Our members resoundingly indicated that they wanted our new contract to address the following issues :. So far, the response from Administration has been minimal. Their few substantive counter proposals indicate a step backwards for faculty rights, and no real spirit of legitimate give-and-take. At our last session, the Administration told us they really have no interest in accepting anything that goes beyond our current contract. Help us keep the Administration Team honest, by attending and respectfully observing the process with your union T-shirt or pin on.
Tell us what matters to you. Watch for a short survey to review and prioritize the issues we are trying to address. This 5 minute survey will give our bargaining team valuable input on how to proceed. I want to assure you that is not actually the case. Labor law clearly allows for agreements on pay increases during contract negotiations, and the union would have been happy to consider such an interim agreement had one been presented.
I also want to assure you that UICUF will seek salary pools for merit as well as compression and equity in our new contract, and make sure raises are retroactive back to Views Read View source View history.
