I’ve been familiar with Prof. Spratt for years now and I was really happy when I had the chance to take his class. He offers help if you have any questions and he goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable about taking his classes. He also answers emails in a timely manner. I would have taken more classes with him if I wasn’t graduating!

I took Professor Spratt online for ATC Fundamentals. He's a good guy and the class is very easy. There's a quiz given every week and usually a short assignment or discussion. I would recommend taking his class because the workload is low except for a THICC final, but relatively easy though.

Professor Spratt is wonderful. The textbook is like a conversation, it's understandable, essential, and useful. His assignments were short and direct, yet entertaining. Also, this is not a work-heavy class. I would recommend this class to anyone interested in it.

Professor Spratt's reading was not too difficult. The textbook was easy to read and not too verbal and each section was summarized in D2L. The exercises and quizzes were quite simple if you at least looked through the reading material. He was easy to contact via e-mail, for questions or concerns, and he was responsive and helpful, not distant and cold.

I took Professor Pratt's class online for Air Traffic Control. The materials were completely new to me. He broke them down to make them easy to understand. Not only did he give feedback on discussion posts and assignments, but he was one of my only professors who showed understanding during the pandemic. Overall, I highly recommend his class.

Professor Spratt is very understanding and easy to talk to. His assignments were fair, as well as the time frame. He provides good feedback too.
