Professor fails to teach students deeper understanding of biology even though his tests require a deeper understanding. While he does have a lot knowledge on the subject, a language barrier and defensive attitude causes poor interaction with students. **2/3 of students have dropped the class and at least a couple of the remaining 1/3 are close to failing**

I don't know what the hell u are all talking about. This is the WORST teacher I ever had and needs to be fired. Does not teach. Goes way too fast to write down any notes. Does not care about his students. Class started with 24, now down to 7. Boring as anything. Test are impossible & on a tremendous amount of information and he does no review

He is the worst professor Ive had at CCC! If you get him don't even try to take it just get a new professor. He is way too hard, doesn't speak good english. His test are hard as hell and your lucky if you get a "C" on them and doesn't review. I had him and had to drop it and there was only 8 people when left. So this is your warning..He's horriable

No Comments

Very hard to understand. I had a full class starting out with me, by time the last week to withdrawal it was down to less than half of what started. Its suppose to be a lecture and lab mix. He mainly talks and barely does labs. He doesn't teach, he just reads from the slides that you already have printed. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

I'd rather have taken an online course. For the fact that I taught myself the entire 10 chapters. BE AWARE!!!

He is horrible.. I had him for a 15wk. course & we only did 4 or 5 labs.. if I didn't study anything on my own I wouldnt have learned anything b/c this guy doesnt TEACH! he reads off of slides & expects u to know everything. If u ask him 4 help he won't help u so dont even bother! DONT take his class!

we learn how to clean his room, never prepare for class, i mean he is a very smart teacher but he acts like a child...if nobody answer his question he will wait until someone does and by that time its 30min past. we looked at pictures all day and test came from no where...

He is very difficult to understand. He can make very rude comments, and makes you feel like a child. I did not learn very much at all. I had to teach myself. There is no review for the tests and he loves pop quizzes.

Honestly, half of these comments can truly not be serious entires. I am an A student, graduated from a Univ, had few pre-req's to take for a Master's program & I wish I never took his class! He doesn't teach, he is rude, treats you as a child, and ask a question - he will tell you to research it yourself. Funny - I thought I paid to be TAUGHT!!

Taking him was the biggest mistake I ever made. His accent is too think to understand anything. He was the most disrespectful teacher I ever had. He treats you like you're in kindergarden and when you ask questions he makes you look like an idiot. He gives pop quizes almost every class and almost all the lab practicals are pop ones also.

I don't mind hard professors, but this guy is by far the WORST professor I have ever had. Condescending, incomprehensible, doesn't give you your tests back AT ALL, and said tests have no rhyme or reason to the content. Ask him a question, he'll tell you to get a tutor. I was a 4.0 student coming in, now I'll be lucky if I finish summer with a B.

Pathetic! Horrible! Get your sneakers on and run down to registration to drop! I wish I had. Why is this man still teaching? He is disrespectful and hurtful, I felt degraded after every class. How many student have to complain to the Dean? Drop this class and run!

Whoever gave this professor a decent rating is crazy. His accent is so thick that you can hardly understand what he says. If you ask him to repeat himself, he makes you feel stupid for asking questions. His study guides seem thorough, but when it comes to the exams, they are nothing like the material he teaches in class!! Switch profs immediately!!

WORST CLASS EVER! Completely incompetent teacher!!

Worst teacher ever, do not take him he is very unorganized and does not even remeber students names! He very rarley does labs, and tries to cram all the material in before a test. He does not review before the test as he states that he already over the info and it is all in our notes? Very hard to understand with his accent too.

AWFUL!!!!

I had him for bio101 and A+PI. I am an honor student and get good grades but he is the WORST science professor ever. He doesn't answer your questions effectively and doesn't tell you what's on the test. He is also very condescending. Crams everything to the end of the semester. I taught myself

TRUST ME...THIS PROFESSOR HAS SOME SERIOUS ISSUES.. I DO NOT KNOW WHY HE IS STILL TEACHING..DROP HIS CLASS

WORST PROFESSOR EVER!

This guy is the reason I made this account. Listen to what everyone here is saying & DO NOT TAKE HIM. Took the class in summer & he would NOT give ANY grades back. Refuses to discuss grades because he always has to be right. Rude. Hard to understand. Doesn't answer questions, just tells you "you should have learned that in A&P1."

he is a horrible professor. He does not give back grades and if he does he will not discuss them. He does not answer questions ever if he does the question is answered with another question. He talks down to students and makes them feel unworthy and scared to even ask or answer questions. He leaves the classroom for periods of time and is moody

I've been a straight-A, Dean's list student (& v. much interested in bio & A&P) but am barely passing this class. He's unhelpful, discouraging, condescending & unfair. "Lab" consists of busy work in our books while he disappears or plays on his phone. Doesn't give us our tests back & offers no other assignments to boost our grades or help us learn.

He is possibly the worst teacher I have ever had in my whole college career! He is very rude to students who ask questions, when you ask him a question, he never answers it in a way others will understand, he doesn't give back test, I could go on forever! For the sake of your sanity, do NOT take this awful professor.

He was awful....Stay away...Doesn't answer questions, moody, not approachable, labs were unclear and had no clue what grade you got because he doesn't hand back anything, doesn't return the test, just poor, poor, poor. STAY AWAY....

Why in the world would this person be on payroll @ CCC. This was the worst experience of my life! Dr G is moody,unapproachable and unclear. Labs are pointless.From lectures to lab he is 2 diff people and neither one is nice.He tries the first two classes to be funny and sweet and then the "real" prof comes out. Beware! I want money back n a do-over

I also want to state that nearly four weeks into a summer class, Dr G has not graded any tests nor labs. You as a student will never know where you stand. Dr G does not do his job as a Prof. Do NOT Take!

Spite is the name of the game. Only the strongest survive. It's like he WANTS everyone to fail.

This teacher made me re-think my career choice. He is the worst professor i have ever had. He is very unclear. Half of my classes were spent watching cat videos on the projector, and after that he'd let us color during lab. I did not learn a single thing from him. If you have him you are better off dropping and looking for anybody else.

awful teacher with a horrible teaching style

AWFUL. I'm a straight A, honors level student & I'm afraid I'm going to fail; it's too late to drop. Walks around questions, doesn't explain his grading if you even get anything back, & can't manage time. Semester ends in a week; we just had our first test. He is late everyday, but goes ballistic if you are late. Entire class hates him. Avoid!

RUN SOON AS YOU SEE HIS NAME!!! He is horrible, crams everything in to the end of the semester. He goes off on tangents about nothing pertinent to the class.

Awful teacher. I'll admit dr gembitsky is knowledgable about the subject matter, he doesn't teach it. He leaves the labs for extended periods of time. Does not give back tests. Crams everything to the end. Unapproachable. Don't waste your time with this class. I've lost an entire semester. And I was a Deans list student until this class.

I got a B, but would highly advise against taking him. Treats students as if they are children and spends more time singling students out for lab safety than teaching even when there is no lab. Midterm was late and tests are on material not even learned. Hard to know where you stand in the class as nothing is handed back or given back weeks later.

DO NOT RISK THIS PROFESSOR!!! He is the worst professor I've ever had! He grades you based on how much he likes you. He tells you to ask questions then gets an attitude when you actually do. You can't understand a word he says and he's very rude. I strongly advise you drop the class if you see his name. I've never met a more immature teacher.

Run- just run and drop it. Im on average an A or B student- this professor will never give you back your papers to let u know where you stand. Also- his exams were nothing on the material that was taught. He belittles students and places more focus on lab safety when all you do is watch movies. Do what you can to take it with another professor

People need to stop taking this teacher-it's the only way to get him on the curb of CCC instead of in classroom. He is mean spirited. He made me feel uncomfortable. He smiles at students while telling them they failed and then says he doesn't have time to talk to you that it's time for lunch. He has no interest in helping his students succeed.

This Professor is the worst Professor i ever had he makes you feel like you are stupid, does not care if you do well or if you fail. It felt like to me he wants his students to fail. If you see his name Run as fast as you can!!!!!!

Very rude and not helpful.. Do not recommend him to anyone. Makes you feel stupid and doesn't teach

Let me start of by saying NO. I thought I would be fine and you may too but I'm seriously telling you to not take this class. He does know his stuff but he can't teach and his test are impossible. I received a C and now have to retake. Take either Gartland or Bacha because yes they are hard but you actually learn. Gembitsky is a joke.

CCC should be ashamed to force this teacher upon students. He knows the material but does not know how to teach. Very rude when you ask questions and never gives back exams. He waited until the last month to cram exams on multiple chapters. 4 tests, a portfolio and silly labs. I get A's and B's, this is my first time having to repeat a class. RUN!

very hard to understand him. not clear. tests are ok if you study hard. but don't expect them back. . or as the semester goes on u will not know how you stand. he cares more about lab safety, parking passes and ids. expect to figure out the material on you own because its hard to follow his lectures. He jams tests at the end, and im a good student

I cannot believe how horribly I did in this class. The rest of my grades for this semester were all A's. He never had us hand anything in, and was never clear about what he wanted, yet still made it seem like he was very specific in what he wanted. I wish I could turn back time and drop the class when I could. I did everything I was supposed to.

I survived 3 classes with Professor Gembitsky. After a 90 minute talk about ordering a car from the Tesla Motors website I realized that he had no intention to teach the material. I came to this page and was surprised that so many have had a similar experience with him. I have a meeting with the assistant dean tomorrow regarding this matter.

WARNING: DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS TAUGHT BY THIS TEACHER. The teacher has a poor quality of teaching. It is beyond frustrating to enjoy and learn things from his style of teaching.

He seems like a nice person who wants to teach a lecture, but he's also the kind of person who treats the students like they were in the 6th grade by watching movies and reading out loud. If you deviate from his plan of the day i.e. not handing in your portfolio in an exact way, he will argue with you to no end and there's no retaliation.

If you value your GPA, do NOT take this guy! He's easily the worst professor I've ever had and I really regret not dropping him. While knowledgeable on the material, he doesn't know how to teach it. No dates whatsoever on his syllabus, only 3-4 tests you never see again (75% of final grade!), & worst of all he makes you feel dumb asking questions

This man is just terrible, zero respect for students. I did give him the benefit of the doubt at the beginning of the semester after reading all of these. Should have saved my time and dropped it. Dreaded going to class. Starting to realize CCC has a lot of these types of professors

worst teacher i have ever had in my life. ruined my GPA, learned literally nothing. He was rude, you could not talk to him about anything. he also does not give your test back. leaves the lab during labs, if you make up a test you have to answer 3-4 essay questions.

He's the WORST. The first test alone was on chapers 1-7 in the book (we covered 16 chapters all semester so this first test was almost on half the material!) He makes you feel like an idiot when you ask questions. A friend of mine told me she took him for A&P 2 and at the end of the semester only 4 kids remained in the class. AVIOD THIS PROFESSOR.

It's a miracle I even passed this class. It's supposed to be for non-science majors, but he seems to expect the world from you. The lectures had nothing to do with the subject a good percentage of the time, and if you had questions he would just dance around the answers. Nothing was ever clarified. Also probably the creepiest person I've ever met.

Most stressful class I have ever had in my life. He has a strong accent and is very soft spoken- therefore majority of lectures were not understandable. Entire semester, I learned ONLY from reading book. He often asked us if we had any questions after his lectures, but rarely answered any of them and made us feel dumb for asking! Beware!!!

Testing material does not line up with the lecture material. Lab grade was completely arbitrary. If a question was asked, student was referred to the text book.

-9000/0 Would not recommend. If you take this class, RIP. Ask him a question and expect him to ask you a question. Like ?_? We ask because we dont know. Ask him a question and the man will beat around the bush. Classmate asked him a question and we spent the WHOLE CLASS trying to find an answer for that classmate's question, bcs teacher wouldnt.

He is the worst professor I've ever had. He was always at LEAST 15 minutes late to class. His exams are pretty straight forward but he will test you on things he hasn't taught. He's extremely unhelpful and rude. He puts no effort into the class. He doesn't make exams until the night before. Retakes are essay questions he makes during breaks.

do not understand what he is saying. not helpful. not any guidelines. i do not like his teching style .so boring.

Totally awful. Never take him. He is the worst professor i have ever had. He creates a hostile confusing and tense environment to learn.

He is an arrogant and unhelpfull instructor that will not help you no matter what. His tests are constructed from his interpreteation of material, not the book. He expects you to know things he does not teach and if you ask questions you will be chastised in front of everyone for being stupid.

He is condescending and can act petty more frequently than not. Does not offer help when asked questions. Does not offer partial credit, whatsoever. Syllabus contradicts itself in grading percentages. Impossible to know what grade you have until the end of the semester as most labs remain ungraded. Midterm had more history qs than not & was 11/14.

absolutely horrible! if you can take any other teacher over him take them. you wont pass. makes you feel stupid when asking a question. petty and ignorant. pay for lab but do no labs. 3 huge tests on 6-7 chapters at a time. lectures word for word out of the book. such a waste of money. RIP if you have him.

Get out before it's too late. I attended 3 different colleges, and this is the worst professor I ever had. He will NOT show compassion or kindness. A few students received failing test grades despite having studied hard for them. He probably failed those students on purpose. He smiled at the mention of students failing. He also shouts at students.

This is the most confusing, and frustrating class I have ever taken. The instructor refuses to make any clarification as to what he wants, and or expects. His lectures are random and gets off track easily. Tests will have material that is not covered in class, yet he expects you to know it. Don't bother asking for help or guidance. TERRIBLE!!

Horrible horrible horrible! I am an A student and he is the worse professor I have ever taken. I would highly advise everyone to do whatever you can to NOT take him. Almost my entire class failed.

Refrain from this class. You will learn a lot on your own. Constantly throwing curves will manipulate any portion of a test. Will not clarify any topics. Very disrespectful when answering questions.

I took this as a summer course, so I expected it to be accelerated. This class is insane. There are registered nurses and Bio majors in my class that say this guy is going way overboard. 5-6 chapters per test. Questions are worded in a tricky manner. I have a 4.0 and I am struggling to hold a "C" in this class. Take someone else!!!

Worst prof I've ever had. Consistently 15 mins late (literally every day but the last), lectures are disorganized. He is not very good with questions, does a poor job explaining or just outright says he cant teach the material over again. Study guides are vague, he isn't clear about what exactly you should know. Avoid at all costs if possible.

If you wanna play hangman, get yelled at when you ask a question, spend a lot of time looking at pictures of baby monkeys & watching videos from the 80s, go over A&PI stuff in detail even though you're in A&PII, take a 36 PAGE open ended take home test, and only know about 33% of your grade going into the final, then this guy is for you. Good luck.

Does not seem to take class seriously. Doesn't encourage active discussion, just bombards you with information nonstop for hours. Pretty frustrating. Barely grades anything, so it seems like he's not doing his job. Took a lab with him and many of the lab periods are him sitting in the back of the room, kicking up his feet, and playing videos.

Professor Gembitsky doesn't give you a clear view of what you're going to be learning throughout the semester. There are 3-4 grades all semester: the midterm, the final, your portfolio(binder), & maybe a project. The exams weigh heavily on your grade. The review sheet is very vague, it's a paper with page numbers(you might as well teach yourself).

This is coming from a 4.0 student. He was a very vague grader, and I didn't even know half of my grade until the final. You will get yelled at if you even try to ask any question about content. Funny story, the day before spring break there was a blizzard, and he decided to screw over people on his midterm for not being able to make it. Avoid him!

I hope I slip on ice so I dont make it his class, its finals week and were watching movies instead of reviews for FINALS. He likes to embarrass people and he mocks others. He also plays favorites and treats others in the class unfairly.

Avoid at all COST. Professor Gembitsky is one of the WORST teachers I've ever had. Unhelpful in almost every aspect. He creates an extremely unwelcoming learning environment to work in. He spent almost my entire semester sitting in the back watching videos during our 'Lab' time. He also gives out the most useless study guides in existence. Beware.

Professor Gembitsky is the WORST professor at Camden county college. Do NOT take any of his courses. I emailed the professor multiple times after the semester ended to receive my final exam grade, got no response. He was late posting final grades by almost a week but he gets mad when students are late. Horrible experience, avoid him at all cost.

STAY. FAR. AWAY. Do not do it to yourself. Im serious. Dont take this guy. Spare the annoying headache. If you like your GPA, this class WILL ruin it.

Dmitri gembitsky's teaching needs reevaluation. Tends to act stubborn by reinforcing the idea that he expects you to learn a concept when you really haven't learned it since u have a different A&P 1 prof. No quizzes, supportive homework which contradicts given syllabus. He does not give tests back till day of drop. He plotted it! Connivin cat!

Please save yourself the money and don't take this class. It was mentally and physically draining especially at the end of the semester. I am going into Journalism as a major and was forced to take a science class so I had no choice, but he doesn't understand that students have other classes, jobs and other things to do and study for.

I've only been in class a few days and had to leave because my father was sick. To start, his lectures were awful. Gembitsky constantly bombards us with too much information. I try to write what he says but speaks like a cheetah. No power points, no supplement notes like other professors, just pure on oral lecture. Labs, he leaves and not come back

Worst professor i haver had. So disrespectful and gave a 13 page paper due 2 weeks before class ended. Barley any grades and gives a midterm and final you have no idea how to study for. Is rude to students. Avoid him at all cost! He makes the 2nd worse professor at this school look like superman!

Teacher literally falls asleep during class when he is too bored to actually teach. The content of this course is below the level of a High School Biology class. Teacher is incapable of respecting his class or showing them the time or attention they deserve. CamdenCC does nothing because Dr. Gembitsky is protected by the Biology Department head.

Prof G is the worst professor/teacher I have ever had. He was completely unprofessional and unorganized. We spent more time watching cat and prank videos than doing actual work. He would fall asleep in class and ended up only giving 2 tests in which study guides weren't helpful. Assigned multiple 5-7 page essays with less than 2 weeks of class.

DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!! This will be your biggest regret of life. He does not teach, he seems unsure of himself or slightly uneducated. He does not like explaining and expects you to just know things. Also, he has a bit of an attitude. Definitely not the professor a caring student needs. Lastly, again, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS :-) spare yourself.

Do not take any of his classes! Please save yourself the stress and go with another teacher. I am a very hardworking and commited student and all this man did was stfress me out. He is not clear about test dates until a week ahead of time, his study guides are not helpful and his test is mostly made up of the notes but not easy.

He is unuclear about everything. If you are a hardworking student and want to get an A, you wont feel confident, because he never answers questions clearly. There are two exams, participation points, a binder check and a few papers due. I did not like his class, and he stressed me out because I was afraid to ask him simple questions.

DO NOT TAKE HIM!!! I am taking him for AP 2 and it is December... WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN EVEN 1 GRADE BACK YET! We have no idea what we have in his class. He is disrespectful and unorganized. He gives us 45 page take home tests out of no where and they have basically nothing to do with what we are learning. Wish I could write more .. DONT DO IT! RUN!!

Save your time and dont even bother taking him. He's probably one of the worst professor here. We spent a whole semester doing 30 min lectures and sat for 2 hours doing "lab" while he disappears for 99% of the class. We never received any grades back, didn't get an exam until after the withdraw date, and a final with no clear topics. Beware

What did I learn from this class? Nothing. The man skips 99% of the chapter and discuss only 1 or 2 topics from each chapter. Lecture run real short so that we can do lab. Lab consist of him leaving his students alone, and students are not allowed to be left alone in a lab! Never received one exam grade back so you won't know where you stand.

This class was a jumbled mess. we didnt actually do anything valuable until week 6 & tests were on MOVIES we watched in class. We took our midterm the class before Thanksgiving & our final 4 weeks after. 2 final papers were given that were based on MOVIES. Grading is explained but still somehow unclear. Make friends youll need the support.

The fact that this man has anything above a one is mind blowing. If I could give him a 0 I would! He has an extremely thick accent and you can't understand a word he says. Makes me wonder if they hire for qualifications or just to fill positions. If you ask questions, he never directly answers them. DO NOT TAKE HIM YOU WILL REGRET IT.

His class really wasn't that hard, but he doesn't teach it well, you have to do a lot of self-teaching. He lectures from slide pictures, so you have to take really good notes and read the textbook. My biggest issue was how he treated the students. He was rude, condescending, and a pain in the ___. Yelled at us every day just for asking questions.

I would not recommend this class. The assignments he gives are tedious and excruciating for no reason other than to waste your time. If you're good at writing 5 pages of BS about a movie starring Tom Hanks, then go ahead and take this class. If you don't have the time or patience for these assignments, then just take chemistry like I wish I had.

I have never had to do so much homework for a Biology class. He makes you write two 4-5 page essays on two Tom Hanks movies and take a 60 multiple choice test as your final. He never grades anything. He is a great person, but not the greatest instructor. He means well but talks about his cats more than answering your questions.

Taking this online due to the coronavirus was mind-numbing and mentally draining. I am not a bio major, but this class demanded a lot of work and time. We had long lectures, many assignments/discussions, two long essays on movies, and a midterm/final. This class truly stressed me out. Although he is a nice/organized guy, I would not recommend him

I missed two classes one being "excused" with a doctor's note and ended up receiving a non-attending grade in the class. He took forever to put final grades in and after emailing him asking when they would be in, received a very condescending email back. A couple days later he put my NA in while none of my other classmates had grades in. DROP HIM!!

Worst teacher at Camden County. He is extremely disrespectful and belittles you. He thinks he's better than everyone and believes he's always right. Insulted me to the point I felt like absolute trash. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. OH and his accent is super heavy and he is very hard to understand.

Would not recommend taking this professor. Does not allow makeup exams even if you have good reasoning although in his syllabus says otherwise

You basically teach yourself by reading the textbook and doing assignments on several sites other than Canvas. He claims to be available but does not answer emails in a timely manner and the workload is beyond heavy. The way the material is structured is illogical and he makes the class way more difficult than it already is.

Very condescending guy. Assigns a ton of assignments every week and hour+ long videos to watch. One of the most annoying classes I've ever had to take

Posts excessive amounts of work. Does not understand that people have other classes and jobs and a life. Lecture heavy with 2+ hour videos. He is smart but doesn't know how to moderate his work. I spend hours a week on busy work and I'm taking this class because its required. If you want to be stressed out for 4 months he is your guy.

Unrealistic expectations. Easily the worst professor at this school. To much work. Most stressful unorganized class ever. I felt hopeless and destined to fail.

Terrible teacher. Whenever asked for help he either doesn't respond or gives a half-assed answer. Too much work and busy work at that. Gives you no chance to get your grade up with the amount of assignments and how heavy they weigh on your overall grade. Overall terrible teacher and would avoid taking his class at any cost.

Terrible teacher. Whenever asked for help he either doesn't respond or just not answer any of your questions. Too much work and he didn't even finish grading work that was submitted. No chance to get your grades up with the amount of assignments that is heavily weighed on your overall grade. Terrible teacher and would avoid taking his class.

Teacher assigns more than 10 assignments a week on Canvas, including one-hour-long lecture videos that could just be summed up in a PowerPoint, 3 quizzes, discussions that have to be at least 200 words, and essays that are only worth 4 points. He expects you to cater 6 hours a week to this class. Says it's not his responsibility to help with proble

He leaves no room for error. I had him for an online class during COVID. Submit something handwritten rather than typed? you won't receive credit. Extremely specific assignments, No late work or flexibility. Insane workloads of 11-14 assignments a week, including multiple hour long lectures. Forget reaching out to him for help, he's extremely rude!

BIO-106 is unfortunately a required class for most non-science majors. To be blunt, for my two years at Camden County College, this professor is the toughest grader I have ever had. He issues an insane amount of work per week. I took 4 classes during the Spring semester and this class alone had MORE work than 3 classes COMBINED. Avoid at all costs.

Please do yourself a favor and dont take this class. Ive never failed a course in my life and this one was just unbelievable. 10 or more assignments a week including three hours worth of lectures. On top of that its incredibly hard to learn anything when youre constantly worried about turning it all in, especially if youre employed.

HORRIBLE!!!! This guy has no humanity, he gives you about 15 assignments a week and expects them to all be submitted in time but he cant even take the time to grade anything. 2 weeks in and nothing is graded yet. He does not accept any late assignments even if its been less than 24 hours. He doesnt care if you have a job or children

Worst professor in my life. Who ever gave the 5 star rating was probably himself. Do not take his classes!!!! He is a a disgrace to the whole college. There is no way anyone would take this class again.

We got a textbook that he rarely uses information from, mostly uses YouTube videos or prerecorded lectures from the summer. He doesn't take questions, if you ask he just explains it the same way or interrupts you so you can't even ask your question. He's very nit-picky and I'm not sure if he can do this but he added a class after the semester ended

The teacher throws a youtube video or a prerecorded video from summer and expects everyone to know everything. He has a textbook that he doesn't use so I find myself going to it to learn what I need myself. He is also very nitpicky and when u try to ask a question he will cut you off, ending up not asking the question.

Assigns multiple unorganized 2 hour video lectures all due by the next class, exams worded poorly, loves to waste your time. I had more work to do for this class over spring "break" than the 5 other classes I take combined, and it was all busywork. Prof has nice moments, but taking this was a mistake. Just take chem and save yourself the trouble.

This is the worst class/ Professor I ever had in my entire college career. The Professor loads you with so much homework, with 2hr+ lecture videos that all can be condense into smaller parts and this is every week. He grades assignments very late as well. There has been a significant amount of people who had to dropout. AVIOD TAKING HIS CLASS.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR'S CLASSES!!! I cannot warn you enough. I truly don't know how CCC allows a professor with such poor reviews and feedback to keep teaching. He assigns WAY too much work. The cultural mentality is obvious. don't take his class, don't even register. If enough people don't take his class, the Dean will notice.

Absolutely horrible. I can't believe the school allows him to do this to students. He does not care about you, about your life, or about you retaining anything. There are 25-30 hours a week spent on this class and that's still not enough. You can't process anything you're learning, theres way too much work. And you can't pass without doing it all.

Worst professor in history. The workload is INSANE. even for a regular semester. I promise you WILL NOT get an A or B in this class. He doesn't respond to any emails. Only assigns work from Wiley. He does absolutely nothing. I went to the Dean about this teacher and they are well aware of problems students have with him. CCC needs to get rid of him

Took this guy as a pre-req for Dental Hygiene in Spring 2022 and he is not a good professor. The amount of busy work he gives is SO, SO, SO much. He doesn't do PPT. No notes. No lecture. Only gives pre-made homework, labs, tests, quizzes. He does NOTHING. Must be nice doing nothing and collecting a check. It's like you don't even have a teacher.

OMG.. this class was a NIGHTMARE. It gave me so much anxiety. SO SO SO much work. You will spend hours and hours doing work. The dissections are also a NIGHTMARE. Tests are extremely hard. This prof gives ZERO lectures. You teach yourself. You either read every page in the textbook or fail. Seriously. Lockdown browser for every test. Not worth it.

To students taking A&P II online with this guy in Winter 2023...good luck. Hardest class EVER. You teach yourself all of the material. The class is SO expensive online with all the stuff you have to buy. Tests are EXTREMELY hard. Nobody in my class passed his tests. NO ONE. Dissections are MISERABLE. If you're trying to get into a program,good luck

Absolutely skip this professor if you can. He is by far the worst professor I've ever taken. He assigns an obscene amount of homework weekly. If you have a life outside of this class - good luck. I am a student with disabilities. He refused to accommodate me without a note from my provider, even though I am registered with student disabilitys.

Will not let you into class even a few minutes late

This class was very difficult to keep up with. Not just because of the amount of work, it was also due to the lack of lectures & accessibility. You are only given textbook pages to refer to. You also have to dissect specimens from home- this includes an entire fetal pig. He is not easy to reach at all & he does not follow disability accommodations.

Never again. Realistically this is the most unreasonable professor ever. I have yet to finish the class and it is terrible. We recently had a mid term that the avg grade on the class was a 16 out of 50! Are you serious and guess what, NO CURVE. Teacher is horrible makes me throw up in my mouth.

has ridiculous standards for students to meet, especially online. has no compassion for students and their daily lives. is on a permanent power trip that no student should have to endure!

He is an embarrassment to the school. He does not answer messages and wrote a highly offensive and harassing message to me. He wants you to fail. Every review here is accurate. CCC, you are doing students a disservice by having him remain employed by you. It is a blemish on your reputation.

DO NOT TAKE HIM! The last week of the semester he gave us a 5 page essay to write about a history movie! HISTORY! last time i checked its BIOLOGY! Anyway he gives very few assignments and will not help you even if you ask. Asked him for help before and he said it's not my place.WHAT! Ontop of if all he has a thick accent you can barely understand.

Not a big fan of his class. Lectures were very long and he doesn't make his lessons engaging for students. Also, he gave us an assignment THE LAST WEEK OF THE SEMESTER and made it an a 4 page essay that was unrelated to Environmental Science.

This professor is Tenured, to start off. Avoid at all costs, even if he has an online course, don't take it. He is very unorganized and rather than have a full lesson plan, he plans day to day. Sure, the in person class is a walk in the park and he doesn't give many tests/homework, but it is a waste of your money. Do not take this class.

The first half there were a lot of HW assignments and quizzes weekly. 2nd half of the semester there was rarely any quizzes or homework there was at least 1 lab a week that was time consuming. 3 exams- all proctored. The professor is very disorganized and felt like he did not want students to succeed in the class. which was very discouraging.

the Dean at CCC is very aware of issues students have with Gembitsky, but he is tenured and enjoying the great health benefits CCC offers their staff. This professor is HORRIBLE. dont take A&P 2 online. He'll rewatch the entire video of you taking your test from Lockdown Browser, but won't enter grades then un-publish the course. Dean is AWARE!

I took A&P 2 online twice with this teacher and failed. He grades very hard.Labs are 30% of your grade(which is fine)but even if you do all the labs, he picks apart any little thing wrong and takes off many points.I got points off for not capitalizing 1 letter on my lab presentation.His lectures are lengthy and not interesting.Would not recommend!

A lot of one-hour lecture videos and quizzes, but they are similar to the exams. When studying for the exams focus on the video lectures, not the articles he provides. The workload is insanely heavy and time-consuming. He is very sassy over email. I honestly, don't recommend taking this class, see if forensic science aligns with your major.

Do not take this class. I cannot say it enough. I was an honors student with a 3.8GPA only to have it wrecked by Dr. Gembitskys inability to help his students succeed. The Dean // school knows all of these things but no one does anything about to. A horrible way to end an otherwise excellent experience at CCC.

doesnt care about student effort put into the class. Many assignment/quizz early on&lab heavy in 2nd half w/ little guidance beyond a vid on how to complete lab. No grading leniency. All lockdown exams which are timed at 1 min/question&CANT go back to a question.all the exams are 4+ ch with no outline/study guide when each ch contains much material

He lectured heavily, lots of dissections, exams r only open for 24 hrs & r mandatory to pass, u cant miss a single assignment/exam. I am being forced to retake this class bcuz i need to maintain a C. He's condescending & does not respect anyone. Watch his videos & take notes, do ur dissections w/someone so ur vids r less than 10 mins. Good luck!

To start he does 3 1 hour lectures to match 3 labs and proctured 3 quizzes with a smart book chapter/s a week so the work load is very heavy. He doesn't respond to emails and when he does its always pushback. I was going to graduate with honors but no thanks to this class. If you are a non science major or if you are don't take this class.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! I repeat, DO NOT TAKE HIM! He is so condescending and rude. I now have to retake this course I wish I listened to the reviews and waited a semester but I didn't listen. So I'm here to warn anyone else that came here for answers. He requires so much it's unrealistic and disturbing. Goodluck.

This man is tiring. He rambled on for 3 hours about useless dreck. The labs we did were meant for actual first graders. He is a terrible professor, is derogatory toward students, and once threatened to withhold a study guide from us. He is the worst professor at CCC. Drop the class IMMEDIATELY if you get him as a “professor”

Screencast are not easy to understand. Has a cat meowing that sounds like it's in pain in the background. I can't even focus on the lecture when there's a cat meowing sounding like they are in distress not sure if the cat is OK. It meow as if it was in pain the entire Screencast. 3 exams , lots of labs h.w . Nothing gets rounded.

I would say this class is awful but most of the time it was easy. His labs are elementary level and his lectures are extremely boring. His attitude a lot of the time is derogatory, especially when answering questions. Someone had to ask for a study guide because he wouldn't give one at first. Don't take him if you don't have to.

While there are A LOT of assignments, it's frustrating to be restricted by a fixed schedule, especially in an online class that's supposed to offer flexibility. But since this professor restricts us with HIS pacing, he prevents that. A more flexible structure would better to support students with varying schedules.

EXTREMELY LONG lectures, MOUNTAINS of homework.

Midterm and final are worth 25% of your grade, none of the questions on the study guide were on the midterm HOURS UPON HOURS UPON HOURS of lectures that have the answers for the quizzes that you can't memorize unless you're a genius. EVERYTHING IS LOCKED! So you have no flexibility. NOT accept late work even if you've never been late before.

Tons of lectures, tons of homework, tons of labs, tons of information. Pacing is locked behind the completion of prior assignments. Tough to keep up and stay flexible for an online class, especially a condensed summer course.

Produced a very difficult course where as someone who enjoys school, absolutely hated getting involved with his class. Unfortunate because I had interests in the course topics, but this course was entirely dreadful. Passed by .5 points

Listen, the Living in the Environment class wasn't THAT difficult, but the professor drags the class, wastes time, and doesn't properly prepare students for anything. For example, he told us to ask questions about our midterm (which we didn't even know we had until a week prior) and he proceeds to answer NONE of our questions. Such a waste of time.

This professor is dismissive and inflexible, with strict attendance and participation rules that can hurt your grade. Study guides don't match exams, lectures go off-topic, and requests for help are often ignored. if you miss class you get a zero. If possible, take this course with a different professor. WARNING!

Lecture heavy, quizzes didn't go with the lecture/textbook-random questions you wouldn't know unless you watched the screencasts/memorized the OFF topic things he would say. No way to prepare for midterm/final because he refused to give answers to what you missed to study. Expensive microscope-only used 3 times. Grades posted late-some not at all.
