THe koolest professor ever. I love this man. His class was easy. He was easy to find outside the classroom. He's just awesome. I wish I could take the course again. He gives the class candy sometimes, by throwing at ppl.
I love Gremmler! He is a very funny and engaging professor. I would definitely take a class of his again. The assignments are very easy, with lots of time to do them.
One of the best professors ever. He is really funny and made shakespeare seem interesting. You should definitely take this class... he can be a little kooky......but he's still funny - liking chicken gets you like extra points!
one of the funnest profs
Wow, Gremmler...Excellent teacher, makes you wanna take another with him. References about chicken alot. Just read the text he assigns b/c he basically gives a quiz a week. It may be a lot of reading but its an easy A
Definitely one of the funniest professors I have had. He is an easygoing teacher, however he gives you quizzes all the time to make sure you are reading the assigned text. I will certainly take more classes with him if they are available.
No Comments
great class and teacher, makes it fun, i would take more classes with him if i could.
actually makes you want to go to his class, easy a..as long as you go to class and do the readings you will do great.
"I'm a vegetarian not because I like animals, but because I hate Vegetables"..and the power of chicken!
very funny, easygoing, makes class fun...engages students...knows what he is talking about..and he's cute.
one of the most interesting professors you'll ever have. He is blunt, honest and very funny. He gives weekly quizzes, which are easy as long as you do the readings ( the questions are general, and simple). The midterm and final were pretty easy, b/c he gave a pretty descriptive outline. Participate in class discussions--overall easy & fun class
Very funny and easy going guy, though really not a good teacher. All he does is go over the plot summary of the text and barely analyzes or goes deep into the text at all.
he tries to be funny, but sometimes he isn't. he always says he loves chicken. its an ok class, but he doesnt know how to stop talking. its an hour and 20 minutes of continuous talking and the class being silent. you have to read because he gives quizzes in almost every class and be prepared with a pillow because he makes you want to fall asleep.
Good teacher. Gives quizzes over the reading, but they are really easy as long as you read the book (or even just sparknotes). Sometimes his lectures get a little long winded and repetitive, but over all he's a good teacher. Tries to be funny, but knows he isn't super funny. I really enjoyed this class, even though i hated the books we read.
Attendance was required and you had to write a journal entry after every class. Besides that all you do is go to class and watch HBO shows (six feet under) and do a finaly presentation about your life. Easy A if u can manage to go to class all the time.
all you need to do for this class is attend (up to 10% bonus on avg), read sparknotes, and pay attention to get a B or better. Gives a mini pop quiz daily, a midterm, and a final.
i TOOK HIS CLASS OVER THE SUMMER AND IT WAS A GREAT CLASS. i LOOKED FORWARD TO EACH AND EVER CLASS BECAUSE IT WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING INTERESTING FOR US TO TALK ABOUT. class WAS TWO HOURS AND TWENTY MINUTES LONG BUT HE ALWAYS LET US OUT EARLY,. I SUGGEST TAKING THIS CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR.
Great class. Read at least a little, show up daily, pay attention and take good notes and you will have no problems. Perfect attendance = 10% bonus on your final grade. My total grade was probably about a 108. Taking a class with him again this semester. Will joke around with you if you can show you have a sense of humor.
I was excited to take the class but he dosent take attendence so there are pop quizs all the time, hes funny but not too helpful with difficult material.
Prof Gremmler is a funny guy, but that's about all that's going for him. 1st day, he told us we weren't covering Rome b/c he was too lazy to do the work for it. Talks about chicken all the time,not what we need to. We do little productive in class Not very accessible outside class Spoke extensively on cartoons Bonuses would be from obscure movies
This class was quite interesting. A little difficult at times because sometimes he had trouble rising to the occasion. Towards the end of the semester he really stepped it up though. Hes deffinatly not one to walk away from a challege thats for sure. In all though it was a great class and at the end we all gave hime a standing ovation,
This guy was basically useless. Two tests, each one makes up 50% of your grade. For the midterm he refused to provide a study guide because in his opinion kids who always came to class should know what to study on their own intuition. As a result 1/2 the class failed the midterm. Mostly boring reading, if you need a Gen Ed look elsewhere!
Gremmler really isn't all that bad. I might just be saying this because I got the A but it really wasn't that hard of a class. The tests were easy if you did the reading and went to class, so if you're looking for a pushover class where you can get an A without going then don't even bother. Dude has a good sense of humor too...
Gremmler is a goog guy...he gives anyone with half a brain a chance to do extremely well in the course as long as you go to class. The reading isn't bad, just keep up for the most part and you will be fine. Class notes are important but if you know the books through and through you should be all set. The only grades are a mid term and a final.
Good teacher...down to earth...Tries to make subject interesting. Pay attention ...go to class, and study for test. Better than 89% of teachers at SUNY albany
Really good professor. You could tell he was really into the subjects he taught. It's unfortunate he has to dumb down his lessons for people (some of whom posted comments here) because you can tell he knows a lot more than he can teach in a 100 level class. All in all great prof. easily accesible and genuinely nice guy.
Dont waste your time, if you have an interest in this topic you would like it. But if you taking it to fulfill a gen ed pick another. His tests ARE RIDICULOUS!!
Good Prof if you go to class you will do good-gives attendance bonus and gives random quizzes but the notes are not online anyway so you need to go but material can actually be interesting and easy to learn if you are interested. Need to study for tests but worth it!
Great sense of humor. There is quite a bit of reading, but it's interesting. He takes attendance, but if you don't go to class you have little chance of a good grade.-He likes chicken
EWWWWWWWW! he is really BAD !!! DONT TAKE HIS CLASS , you have to read a lot and you will get quize EVERY day and his graiding is UNFAIR.
he is BAD !!!!!
Amazing profressor. He's funny and interesting and makes his class worth going to. His tests are easy if you do the reading you're suppose to - and the reading is interesting, so you'll want to. If you get a chance, I'd recommend taking a class with him.
this is the best professor. his class is mad fun, he always keeps everyone entertained and he teaches a good subject. it is worth it to get into any one of his classes.
roofie yourself and hang out with a shotgun before taking this class
His sense of humor is warped...You need to see it to believe but I really suggest that you don't. He makes you take a lot of quizzes, especially if you don't read the material. I'm telling you Spark Notes saved my life and it will save yours if you use it! Do not take this class unless you are desperate!!!
An entertaining professor who digresses a lot during lecture to make jokes about himself and his disability and even students. It can be frustrating if you actually want to learn the subject. Almost tries too hard to be funny. Gives a lot of quizzes. Assigns a lot of reading but only the lecture is really tested.
Such an awesome teacher. All the fanboys, WOW freaks, and D&D dudes out there would find this as there mecca and Gremmler could be your overlord:)
He is a great prof. He jokes around and lot and gives a lot of quizes.
This professor is a joke. Cancelled class after it started via email TWICE. NEVER teaches anything. If you're on his good side you'll do fine. Test have nothing to do with lecture or reading. If you're serious about learning, pick another professor.
Okay, he is a little off topic sometimes and its kinda frustrating. But the class itself isn't bad. I learn more from talking and debating about the books rather than reading them. Yea, he has quizzes (it doesnt matter what you write, as long as your name is on it) But I have no clue what he is talking about with the whole dungons and dragons thing
hes funny but very irrelevant. Kind of rude to people at times... should be a substitute teacher instead of a college professor cause his class is kind of a joke. Give no extra credit and can be mean if u ask for it
He is one of the worst professors I've had here at U Albany. He's rude 90% of the time that he's addressing students, doesn't take his job seriously at all, can't even manage making a test that adds up to 100% and gets mad when you call him out on it, and don't expect him to be helpful if you have a question or concern.
Great Professor! Very funny and covers all material in class for the tests. People may think he's rude because they have no sense of humor, but he is very entertaining. My favorite class so far is this one. Not a huge workload and the tests are simple as long as you study. HIGHLY recommend him if you want an easy class and a good laugh.
Great teacher.Makes jokes about himself and may insult you a little, but he can be funny.Pay attention to his lecture about the books and copy his notes you will pass easily. Yea he gives only a midterm and final, welcome to college.In your college experience you will wish you had teachers this straight forward who test on their notes and are fun
Extremely enjoyable professor, however his tests are difficult. The first deals mainly with maps and the second primarily with dates. Very difficult if you are bad with either of them. Take with S/U option if you don't want to kill your GPA.
Thought the great ideas of greece and rome would be an interesting class. His class was pretty entertaining I dont mind that, I like his way of teaching. Came test time his tests were pretty challenging and very specific so you have to know your stuff. Idk if its a hard class or i underestimated the workload. Nonetheless he messed up my gpa.
Hard material, cool guy. Quiz everyday (open notes) YOU NEED TO READ THE BOOKS, or at least the sparknotes, in order to pass! Gremmler is pretty funny. He likes chicken.
Honestly i was told to take this class from a friend and it has been one of my easier, more enjoyable classes. Go to class and take notes on his lectures you will get an easy A. I never read material and I am pretty sure I am getting an A. Midterm and Final are very easy. Multiple choice, true and false and short answer. Easy and highly reccomended
not approachable, and jokes around way too much but not in a fun way more in an awkward feel bad for me, inappropriate or make fun of students way. usually when teachers joke around and dont make full effort teaching the material the are usually easier tests.. not the case here. expect to learn the material on your own. wikipedia is better than him
I think this guy reports all posts saying not to take his class and writes fake posts boasting about him....anyway this class is very hard, it's not the east multiple choice tests that are written on here. They are 30 question MP tests along with usually 1-2 essays (Which take a while). The essays are graded very hard and there areno"daily quizzes"
Not everyone's cup of tea I guess. As an older student I can't stand all of you spoiled brats so I find Gremmler to be very entertaining. He doesn't teach a lot because the material is pretty straight forward and the quizzes and exams are super easy if you pay attention.
absolutely dreadful class! It will mess up your gpa. He does try to do fun things like sing the myth buster song for extra credit but it doesn't help.
Great teacher, smart guy. 100% test grades. Attendance not mandatory but will do poorly if you miss alot. Funny as hell (especially for gamers/movie buffs) though can be insensitive (if you like non-pc humor its great) Very difficult but interesting and entertaining.
Do the readings, go to class and enjoy. Easy class. Hilarious and fun teacher. Just don't get too offended because he can be crude sometimes. I got over 100 on all the tests so I highly recommend him.
He is so funny and tests/quizzes are super easy if you pay attention...if you can't handle his humor then you definitely need to find another professor to teach you this class. I look forward to class everyday because I know he will tell us something hillarious! Not to mention the course material is really interesting and informative!
Took this class because I was looking for an easy Humanities course and heard good things about this class. Material is quite interesting and he is a funny guy. But if you take class in lecture center, entire grade is based on 3 exams which he grades harshly. I have a B+ right now after two exams and the final is cumulative and worth 40%, Beware!
Professor Gremmler is a funny guy. His class is entertaining, and the material is very interesting. His tests and quizzes are very easy if you do the reading, and go to class. Those who are whining about how hard he is definitely didn't try very hard to read, and understand the material. I loved this course, and Gremmler was great.
very good professor would strongly recommend his class he is a funny guy
One of the BEST teachers I have ever had. He's funny & keeps you entertained and you makes you want to learn. Even his jokes that seem to be offtrack somehow manage to make whatever we're reading make perfect sense. He's a really cool guy and I highly recommend him for Greek/Roman myth class but don't sign up if you don't like that stuff.
Took this class thinking It'd be an easy A.. Ended up with a C+. Gremmler is a funny guy but his grading system isn't fair at all. Only 2 tests and a few quizzes here and there, and a participation grade, which he grades very harsh. DO NOT take this class unless you are interested in the subject matter, it's not an easy A by any means..
The worst professor i have ever taken. AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS. He expects you to read hundreds of pages a day and know dozens of gods by heart. He gave mr a C- for participation even though I was there every day and participated frequently. I worked harder then any other class and only got a D.
Personality wise, Mr. Gremmler is not my type of teacher. He is very sarcastic, so much so that you almost take offense to it. He is not sympathetic to any circumstance you may have regarding,understanding or completing course work. Academically his test are fairly easy (as long as you pay close attention to detail). I didnt enjoy his class.
Prof. Gremmler is awesome! He is hilarious and I really enjoyed his class. His tests are easy as long as you read and pay attention. The students who participated and did their work did great. Individuals who failed to attend Gremmler's class and did not read did very, very poorly. It's not a class you can slack off in! I would recommend!
Funny guy, but the class is tough, makes you study even the tiniest of facts.
HE'S HILARIOUS. I would definitely take his class all over again. You need to read A LOT! The tests are hard if you don't study and you can't bs through this class. it's not easy, so if you don't study or read, you're screwed! I learned the hard way. Amazing professor, great class, you should definitely take him.
If you're hypersensitive, don't do this to yourself. This class should be easy but it is made unnecessarily difficult probably bc people have taken advantage in the past. He puts on a hard exterior but is actually a very nice person if you need to talk one-on-one. You will probably do much better if you go to his office hours. Knows students names
This class is way more harder than it should be. Harder than my core classes.
I would not recommend this class to ANYONE. There are well over 80 kids in the class , but he still counts participation without knowing the names of the students. If you don't go to class, you'll fail. His lectures are very long and boring. Gives no homework but expect to read. If you ask questions, makes you feel dumb. Good Luck
He's funny (or tries to be), makes lots of movie references, and he is pretty reasonable with grading almost always providing extra credit on tests. His slides are very helpful, but he doesn't post them on blackboard. Make sure to participate, because he really does count it.
Quick witted and entertaining. Kept the class engaged and interested throughout the term.
Worst professor I've ever had. Constantly tries to be funny but comes off as derogatory. Makes fun of students in front of the class, and gives harsh criticism on assignments without being constructive. Let out class out 30 min early if not more everyday. I have learned nothing. Just participate and laugh at his stupid jokes!
This professor only had three tests and a 10% participation grade to make up the cumulative course grade. The 10% participation grade was not taken down or recorded in any way except by the professor's memory. He consistently made crude jokes through out class and would go on completely irrelevant tangents at times. He posted none of his in class s
He jokes around a lot but he's low-key very serious and strict. No homework. Hates lateness. You don't have to read the textbook for every date he assigns but at least read it before the test to get an idea of what's going on. In my opinion, show up, take notes and you should be just fine. I wouldn't take him again though.
One of my favorite professors so far. He is very interested in the course and it shows in his teaching. Class is not difficult if you show up. Anyone flaming the class for being hard thought they could sit in their dorm and read the slides. 100% recommend him!
Loved Prof. G. Such a funny guy. Show up and take notes on what he says and the power points and study those. Pay attention, powerpoints arent on Blackboard. Didn't think id like the class but ended up being my favorite. Super interesting, easy to study for. All about stories in Greek mythology. 3 tests and a final. No previous knowledge& ended w A
Hilarious dark sense of humor thats right up my alley. If you go to class and listen and take notes and participate so that he knows you by name, youll do well. The clas itself is actually pretty interesting in itself as well. Good gen ed
Average class, isnt so hard but you have to read your textbook!! He raised participation to 20% and you have to write down every time you participate. I would say if you go to all of his classes, participate and read the textbook when assigned you would do well.
Honestly the easiest class I've taken. He makes funny jokes and keeps the classes short and enjoyable. Just show up to class , take down notes, and watch out for his jokes. Participation was raised to 20% so if you're a quiet student like me, you're out of luck! Just read the book a day or two before each test and get a free 100 :D Would recommend
He's not a bad professor but could do without the readings. He does not post the material on blackboard, so go to class
Very entertaining class and professor. The reading was not painful. If you read, participate, and take good notes youll do fine in the class (BEWARE he does NOT post slides). Definitely a great and easy way to boost your GPA as long as you follow his directions.
Daniel Gremmler is the only reason I didnt get a 4.0 this semester. Do not take him.
THIS CLASS IS NOT AN EASY A. IF YOU DO NOT STUDY OR PARTICIPATE YOU WILL WRECK YOUR AVERAGE. Gremmler is a great professor. He seems abrasive but deep down he has a soft core. Participate, study, go to office hours and sit in front of him. Don't be afraid to crack a few jokes either. I would take this again but I would adjust my studying habits.
The lectures can sometimes be painful and the professors humor is very hit or miss. You do learn some cool things in the class, but it is not an easy A. The class is very similar to a high school setting and you HAVE to participate. Personally I would not recommend the class to a friend.
This class is made up of 4 tests and participation. All the material is taken from the lectures and the textbook. Professor Gremmler takes cheating on tests very seriously, even if a class is online, he will make the questions a minute per question. His lectures can be boring, and you have to make sure to read all the textbooks.
Rude and passive aggressive. Easy grade but he is almost too rude to deal with.
Rude and passive agression via email. Not easy to talk too. 0/5 stars
If you choose to take the mythology course as an elective, I would not recommend. The class is pretty organized. Although the lectures are well done, The readings are a lot of work and the tests are overwhelming and harshly graded. I received no help when I needed to switch exam days for an emergency.
This was genuinely the worst class I have ever taken. The material wasnt hard, but Gremmler was extremely hard to work with. He had no sympathy for students during the transition to online & seemed to TRY to be difficult. I took his course online, & our only grades were tests. I cannot stress enough the hate i have for this man. AVOID AT ALL COSTS
I had the this course online so I can't speak for in-person, but it was terrible. Your grade is only 4 exams. He takes down the lectures which is just annoying. Would not recommend if you want to be happy.
The grade is made up of only 4 exams which were all in-person. The exams were extremely difficult due to how much info is on a single exam. Do not take this class if you don't need too. You will thank me later. Professor Gremmler also did not care if you succeeded in his class. After the 1st exam, he told students who scored below 60 to just drop.
Professor Gremmler is a good professor. He is understanding, and he gives good feedback on anything.
Probably one of the worst professors I've met. Do yourself a favor and don't take this class. He had no sympathy for the issues I was going through, responded back to my emails very passive aggressively, and is overall just a terrible professor. I wish I never took this class.
Do yourself a favor and dont take him. Very passive aggressive. Truly believe he does not care about the students which is terrible from a professor. My mental health was suffering and this class caused extra stress on me. After expressing my mental state he showed no leniency. I wish I dropped it when I could.
Go to class as he grades on participation. Amazing professor, his passion for Greek mythology is prevalent in his teachings. Tried his best to implement videos and media - engaging- would 10/10 take again
All I have to say is dont do it. The class is really not worth it. I was so excited to learn about Greek Mythology but this class ruined it for me
You have to be willing to read if you want a good grade. Memorization is also a key factor. The reading quizzes come directly from the textbooks and the exams come from both the lectures and the textbooks. Every piece of art that is shown matters - make sure to keep a list of every greek/roman figures iconography. It makes it 10x easier.
He gives work and when I say work I mean WORK. He grades participation and attendance so if you are a skipper just do yourself a favor and don't take it. The material is also long and boring so if you have a short attention span don't take him. And one more thing if you do get him, BUY THE BOOKS you WILL need them I'm telling you.
His work is not hard but trust me you need to read his textbooks in order to pass his exams. You will pass as long as you do his reading quizzes and read the required chapters . Attendance is mandatory HE WASTES NO TIME , he does attendance on the DOT. Participation is important so if you are shy and don't speak I recommend don't take the class.
Theres 1-2 reading quizzes a week. You HAVE to read the texts/textbooks to do well on tests/quizzes. He doesnt post lecture slides so take as many notes as you can in class. He jokes around but can also be strict/serious. You must participate a lot in order to get a good grade. Also, you should study 1-2 hours weekly. Overall, I loved this class.
You're going to need to read, study and attend EVERY class if you want to pass. He takes participation and refuses to post any slides. The course is rigorous especially if you know nothing about greek mythology. It's worth 2 gen eds tho. The lectures are engaging but the test have so much information. Need to study for 3-5 hours per test to do good
Honestly the class is very boring and hard to keep focus , attendance is mandatory because he does not post lectures online and has two quizzes a week based on lecture material and reading. Books are huge in this class and are really cheap but will be used for every quiz in the class.
This class aint it
worst class i have ever taken. literally dropped it because of how disrespectful the professor was. could not pay me to take again.
Honestly, I found the class pretty easy, but he often emailed us about how awful we did on tests, so maybe I was an outlier. His humor is a hit or miss, knows his stuff, but he's often rude over email and sometimes in class. Participation is required as is attendance, and you have to keep track of the times you participated. Avoid if that's a nono
If I could go back in time and stop myself from taking this class I would. Unless you're willing to put hours upon hours each week into reading, homeworks, and studying, I would suggest you do not take this class. NOT WORTH IT!!!
Makes unnecessary comments about students & uses sarcasm in a rude way. The course itself is interesting but him as a teacher would make you not even want to attend. Attendance is very keen for this course.
Contrary to what many of the other reviews are saying, I liked him a lot. His lectures are quite engaging/interesting, and he's funny (albeit rather self-deprecating). However, he is a stickler on participation and attendance, and he assigns a lot of homework and reading.
He is a little weird and makes odd comments, but in terms of grading and policy he is very fair. His 2 weekly homework assignments take about an hour each and you do need to read before the lectures. Attendance is important as well as participation, and the exams are difficult but very fair. He is a great prof and the class is super interesting.
He is an overall good professor. His lectures are really clear and informative. However they can at times get extremely boring, especially because he speaks in a very monotone way. He cracks a few jokes here and there but other than that the class can get quite boring. He can also be quite rude. He tends to say things in a ruder way than necessary
I took his course of Myths Greek/Roman West Art. I could care less about that but I still went in with an open mind. He is kind of rude and makes weird comments here and there. His humor is def hit or miss. I ended up dropping the class because I just couldn't get with the course and I could already tell I would fail. I dont recommend him.
took his class for myths Greek roman west art, quizzes due every class, hard to even attempt to pay attention in his class, always found opportunities to make weird and uncomfortable jokes that were not funny. requires you to participate there's a full-page essay due at the end of the semester just on what you have participated on in class.
Interesting material but tests are hard. Only 4 tests and a participation grade per semester. You have to participate every class and remember what you asked/answered. Can be funny but also a bit rude sometimes.
He must of paid those kids to give him those ratings, because no way. Based off 4 exams, all super hard. Does not give any extra credit! Expects you to remember every time you have participated and what you said. Absolutely should not be a professor here at UA, makes this school look like they just hire anyone.
Personally, I thought he was pretty good at explaining the content but some of the material that was on the test was not taught in class and I found it to be very unfair.
This is an art history class and we had to read the entirety of The Illiad. Graded on weekly online quizzes and two hard exams. Only take if you're already knowledgeable/interested in the subject matter because its extremely boring otherwise. You HAVE to come to class and HAVE to participate or else you'll get an awful grade.
Come to class on time, participate, and read the book and make sure you have some important info memorized and you'll do well. Only take the terrible reviews to heart if ur a slacker He definitely does not care about his students which means he won't give empathy if needed (I have not needed any during my semester but I noticed this about him)
D Gremms is literally the man. All you have to do is read/audio book The Iliad and a few tragedies and answer questions about it online and in class. Tests were on the exact same material with a fair amount of extra credit. Show up to lecture on time and do your HW. He's a laugh, too. The negative reviews are mind boggling to me. Class was awesome.
Great Teacher
I asked to miss the second half of class to go get my prescription from the pharmacy which I had to walk to, I hadn't had this medication for over a week, the pharmacy would be closed by the time class was over. Daniel said "if you leave you will lose participation credit" so in order to get the medication I needed, I had to lose points for health.
For someone who loves mythology I really liked this course. The classes are lecture based and kinda long. He has a strict no phone policy and the tests are hard. If you do the reading, pay attention in class and participate you should walk away with at least a B.
The class is pretty straightforward - just read the textbook, participate in discussions, and do well on the exams. Definitely utilize Unstuck ai and other study aids to prepare. The professor can be hit-or-miss, but if you engage with the material, you'll do well.
Need to get 3 books. Considerable amount of weekly homework. Will need to do an assignment explaining how you've participated in class throughout the semester. Midterm and final grades can go above 100. Very possible to do well if you put in the work. I thought he was fine, but personality may not be to everyone's liking.
Dr. Gremmler really wasn't horrible; I ended up with a bad grade due to the midterm, but scored well on the final. Not a wonderfully kind guy, told him to have a good day and he said "It's night." (Could've misinterpreted but you know.) Midterm and finals are extremely hard, you HAVE to study a ton for those, MUST participate and keep track of it.
First off, he makes these weird jokes in class and expects everyone to laugh but half of his jokes are about his disability. His first midterm is easy if you study who's related to who, and his second test is very difficult. You have to participate and keep track of it because he makes you write about it. Weekly quizzes come from the readings.
Prof. Gremmler is good at conveying the material, with interesting lectures even online. However, he does have a markedly more difficult online course vs in person. He also does not have make up flexibility for students who enroll in his class after the start of the semester. Otherwise, lots of reading, but doable. Overall, good class, meh teacher.
Terrible, not understandable at all of anyone's circumstance and does not care. He doesn't offer extra credit and will not budge for anything. Don't take this class as an easy credit because it's not.
