Poor writing is a loud signal exposing poor communication in general, and poor communication kills effective teaching. I have read many reviews which conclude that even if an instructor is very well-liked and personable, they are exposed as an incompetent instructor. I'm not surprised at all that your year's reviews went missing. It's a shame, really - FAMU students deserve better than this. I hope accountability will be a major factor on the FAMU campus throughout and especially after the accreditation/probation process. Honestly, I can’t imagine a class rating such an instructor well.
