I agree with the other bad reviews. Teacher jumps all over the place even gets dates wrong. Very rude did not seem like he wanted to be a teacher at all if you are looking for a good grade in history take it with someone else!!

Avoid this class and teacher last to fill first to fail cannot support student inquires or issues tells you to drop first day cannot teach college level no eye contact does not care to pass anyone ever Avoid

Teaches with his eyes closed, goes off on many rants, does not care to help students understand the lecture, and is honestly the rudest professor I've ever had.

he just stands there and talks, wont answer questions during class, will refer you to 50 page syllabus for anything

Very intense classes with lectures, started the first day of class by telling us that we were all going to fail the first exam. He is not a very confidence boosting teacher, doesn't seem to care if we pass his class. Lectures get very off topic and always last too long. He never gives time for students to feel like they can ask questions if needed.

To summarize: He went through transcripts from past classes to chastise the students, accused students of cheating w/o proof, had students write IN CLASS essays that he nit picked grammar and style, told students, including african american students, that "english was their second language."He choose not to teach the books chapters about slavery.

Mr. Stiehler was a very bad professor. Whenever he got mad or heard someone talking he would yell and make more of a distraction then the talking itself. After the first test everyone in the class did well so he accused us of cheating and made the tests insanely hard. Only 7 out of 35 people were able to get above a C and he said good.

awful professor! doesnt know how to teach

You have to sit through the whole 3-hour lecture and none of that is on the tests at all. What's on the test is all the chapters that you have to read. It really left me wondering why I was even showing up to the lecture if nothing but maybe one question was on the test. He was unhelpful. I ended up having to withdraw.

Really rude to students. Never helps students when they ask for help saying hes not a tutor hes a teacher. Honestly worst college professor I've ever had.

Literally dont take this class. He unreasonable, arrogant and a terrible professor. He also submitted a C for an essay grade and gave me no feedback or told me what I missed. Tests are extremely hard and his lectures dont cover the material. I attend a university with a 3.85 GPA and took this class for credit only. He sucks and is so rude.

Horrible professor. Would not take! He doesn't look at you during lectures and closes his eyes when he does. He hates questions! He will look at you while you have your hands raised and still wouldn't answer. No one liked him in my class. Someone had sneezed and he would stop the whole lecture to rant about it for 10 min.

god awful teacher and cannot teach an online calss. whole class is centered around 4 tests with 25 questions each.... the entire class is based off those 4 grades. god forbid u miss 5 questions on a test... any more youll fail the exam and 1/4 of the semester. Test questions are trash and convuluted 8/10 questions are "Which of these are NOT"

Prof spent lectures trying to figure out why he was lagging (he thought it was because too many people were viewing his Google slides link). Got behind on lectures and students had within the first days hours of lectures to listen to. Invasive computer monitoring / webcam monitoring REQUIRED for exams because he insists you will cheat. Don't take.

DO NOT TEXT QUESTIONS IN THE CHAT WHEN YALL MEET FOR ONLINE LECTURE.

This was the worst class I have ever taken. He was not caring and it seemed like he wanted students to fail.

I have a degree in PTA. I have taken microbiology, A&P, among other difficult courses. This is BY far the worst/most difficult class I've ever taken. His tests are all "which answer is not the correct one" and you have A-E to pick. So that makes it extremely hard to get a good grade. Please DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE. I really wish I listened.

Worst professor Ive ever had. He should not be doing virtual classes. Rude, arrogant, and uncaring. His tests are extremely difficult, all questions are written in a very confusing manner designed to trick you, and expects you to regurgitate word-for-word the entire textbook for your essays. He boasts about it. Avoid taking his classes if you can.

Did online classes and I want to die. The whole class is just 4 tests and some long lectures. Took 5+ pages of notes and studied for hours and still failed. I would usually blame myself for this but the questions are ment to trick you. I don't think I've really learned anything useful from this class. I would drop the class but my FAFSA says no. ��

Even if you're a good student who studies, takes notes and reads the textbooks you will be lucky to get a C. Stiehler was openly hostile to dual credit students and pressured every single one in my class to drop the course. His tests are formatted to trick you instead of testing your knowledge. He never answers questions and talks over students.

Worst professor Ive ever had in my academic career he is hostile to students and is not helpful in any way shape or form.

He gave us a learning objective so we can study for our exams and can know what to expect to see on our exams. When the exams came along he would put down different questions trying to throw off his students. As well on the essay portion of the exam, he would take away many points just for capitalization and punctuation.

Each class is a 1.5 hour lecture. Your entire grade is based off 4 exams and there is no extra credit. Every question is designed not only with trick questions, but also trick answers, and your exam grade is more based more off how much he likes you than the actual essay. He humiliated my friends just for asking a question or yawing. PLS STAY AWAY

I am normally an A student and *might* get a C in this class if I "learn to work harder". Essay feedback is unclear, professor is not accessible and he's not helpful. I've done tutoring plus all the reading, notes, etc and spend hours every day studying. I may drop the class because it's that bad.

Worst class ever! There were four exams that are extremely difficult with trick questions and trick answers with a 3-5 page essay during the 8- minute exam time. The professor is not helpful and responds with canned responses. He's very condescending and insulting if you ever go to office hours. I wish I had withdrawn sooner.

Easily the worst professor I have had at ACC. Lectures about unimportant material like his trips around the globe. Explodes at students for little to no reason. Has a predefined view of each student based on their transcript before they ever walk into his class. His tests are all trick questions, essay grades are not based on the essay content...

Im a good student and did all the things necessary and couldnt pass his exams. I sat in the front and I took notes and studied.. a lot. He writes new questions every test and doesnt even glance at the stats of how the exam went. He is more than satisfied with the highest grade being a B. By the end only 5/30 students actually remained in the class

He was such a nice guy and very responsive. The issue was the teaching style, only 4 tests and they were all worth 25% and one retest. He only counted your essay if you got a 80% or above on your multiple-choice questions. He says the tests and textbooks are word for word (they aren't). The review ratio is all the explaining you need.

He is clearly very passionate about history but honestly not a great teacher. He is extremely hard on essay and exam grading and I spent 8+ hours a week reading the textbook, taking additional notes, watching youtube resources, and practicing for the essays and still only got C's. Ended up withdrawing. Take a different teacher if possible.

fosters an environment that discourages constructive dialogue and open discourse. reacts defensively to even the mildest forms of criticism. relies heavily on PowerPoint presentations, supplemented with irrelevant stories. minimal support for students preparing for exams, refusing to offer guidance or resources.

He has spent at least 20 out of the 80 minutes we get in class every session talking about barely, or completely unrelated political topics, such as Israel, former president Biden, and Anthony Fauci Regardless of one's individual feelings on said topics, he has wasted our time to deliver his own agenda at the expense of history.

This Professor was unnecessarily strict on grading he would grade the essay portion of our exam as if he were and English professor. He was extremely hostile to students would leave NO room for opportunity or different opinion, did not like questions, would turn students away from office hours. Take a different professor if possible.

The worst professor I've ever had always brings up high school. I get that high school is not hard, but for some reason, he thinks everyone in that class is not an adult or something. He doesn't allow hats in class and freaks out if you wear them. Only grades are 4 Exams taken with the essays, min 500 words. not a good dude Don't TAKE HIS CLASS.

You take the class as an A or B student in English and History and leave dropping out or with a C. His essays are genuinely impossible to get credit for, I've shown my papers to faculty and they say it's insulting how awful the grading is. For a B+ paper you get 0 credit, he doesn't grade on content, just on if he likes you.

Worst college experience so far. Very disappointed in myself for not knowing about ratemyprofessors dot com because if I had, I wouldn't have wasted a drop/withdrawal on this man. He would go on frequent unrelated political tangents and had a weird no hat policy like it's the 20th century. Meanders during lectures too.

if you value your sanity DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER. the only grades for his class are the test, so if you fail 2 test, there is absolutely no way to pass the class. He is a good guy, but i just would never take his class again. says to spend 6 TO 9 HOURS reading the textbook, aint no way anybody is doing all that.

This class is worse than the internment camps he likes to lecture about. Less than 100 words were spoken by people that were not him during the duration of the course.

At the beginning of the course, he gives you false hope about getting an A or a B by saying that the only thing he grades is tests (if you want a C), or you can choose to write the essays to get a higher grade. It is utterly impossible to get credit for the essays. Everyone in my class ended up with a C in the course. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.
