I took Dr. Wyant as a summer class. I must say that this is one of the most intense classes I’ve ever taking. Dr. Wyant hands out these packets called modules and basically they’re test questions but they’re F-ING over kill to memorize these bastards. If you have a good memory then this class will be right up your ally. We had to do an 8 page paper with 8 sources and then a few other little assignments along the way but they were easy. This class is easy to get at least a B if you have a good memory other wise you might get a C.
Now to my story about Dr. Wyant; I’m a finance major and I must say that this was one of the most intense classes I’ve ever taking which I stated above. I took it as an elective because I moved back to Owensboro during the summer and they don’t have much to offer other than ITV classes. I don’t know what major you have to be in to take this class but I must say that imo he was the crappiest teachers I have ever taking. He thinks that he knows everything. One of the projects you have to do in this class is over a subject of your choice as long as it pertains to health care. Since I’m in the business department I chose a book over organizational management of healthcare. After I did my presentation he informed me that healthcare field doesn’t utilize organizational management. I didn’t want to inform him that he couldn’t have been any more wrong. I wanted to tell him about the Arnold Palmer Hospital but I didn’t want to get on his bad side so early in the class. As for the test I don’t know what you have to do to get a 100 because I would memorize all the test answers and put them down word for word. I don’t even think he reads the test that people send him. I think he grades on how many pages you write out or something because I would have to exact same answers as some of the other people in the class but he would take a few points off of mine. As for all of the other assignments I think that if you do them you will get full credit for them.
Here’s what got me the most about this class. At the end of the semester I had a 95 average and the only grades we had left were the final and the paper. The final was worth 250 points and the paper was worth 100 points. Since my average was so high, I had 67 points to spare before my grade would drop to a B. Anyways I know I made an A on the final and imo I think I should have received at least a B on the paper but Dr. Wyant must not have liked me because he gave me an F on my paper. My final grade was an 89%. I called him and asked about my final grade and on the phone he was being a rude piece of crap. I asked him to email me all of my grades and he informed me that it was against university code to do that. I wanted to tell him that he’s a poopy head because he doesn’t use blackboard and there isn’t any other way of finding out your grade other than email. When I talked to him on the phone he told me that I lost out on my class attendance points because I left early one time.
Good luck for those that take this class. His lectures are excruciation and you never get out early. This class is point less and the worst WKU has to offer. Its not even healthcare mgt. its more like a history class of health care.
