Grembowicz is the best teacher I've had since I started college. Students look for an easy A shouldn't bother. If you want to learn, he'll teach you and really make you work. But I think he makes it so his students come out better learners, more aware, more interested, and even just better people in general. I <3 Grembowicz!!!

Grembowicz is an amazing professor, and I have taken him for several classes now. I will admit his tests are quite hard and you need to put time into studying for them. I consistently get 95-100s in my other classes tests and consistently get 80-88s on his tests. Do the extra credit and be prepared for his tests and youll do fine. Hes worth it!

Grembowicz is an awesome professor. He's going to hold you to a certain expectation, so be prepared to study a lot but there is no reason you shouldn't be able to get an A if you have a good handle on the material. He's funny and provides you with a lot of material but nothing particularly daunting or difficult. Don't bother getting the textbook.

Professor Grembowicz for lab is a good choice. We walk through parks and he points out the trees and plants we need to know. There are two practicals, and they get averaged together and go into your lecture grade as 25% of your overall grade. You have to study, but if you study and pay attention it's not too bad.

None of the stuff he goes over is on the exams. He only grades quizzes and exams, and drops the lowest quiz score.
