Dr. Little is a great professor. He utilizes Blackboard for discussion forums, online quizzes, and grades. Additionally, he posts answers to homework problems after the first class in which we've covered the material, so this is a definite plus and helps in getting homework completed without the frustration. Homework is to be completed in either Excel or Word. There are four exams plus a cumulative final.
Interactions with Dr. Little were always first-rate. He is accessible to students, gives timely responses to questions, and is in general a likeable person. Dr. Little is fair and gives points wherever he can. His tests are often worth more points than you are graded on, so that works to your advantage.
There were, however, several things I didn't care for:
1. Dr. Little believes firmly in the student having read the chapter prior to coming to class and then using class time to answer questions about homework. He lectures only as needed and uses the homework problems to work his lectures in. But while my personal preference is to hear lecture first, then apply it to homework problems, I would have to say doing it his way was effective overall.
2. I very much disliked the impending pop quiz always hanging over my head. He had pop quizzes more toward the beginning of the semester, then switched to online quizzes in the middle and toward the latter end.
3. Just keep in mind he will call on people. He makes an effort to learn people's names and then doesn't mind putting you on the spot. Do your homework, read your chapter, and you'll be fine.
These drawbacks, however, are very minor in the big picture, and I would highly recommend Dr. Little.
