i think that this professor is very good. He is very knowledgeable and funny. He gives his true honest opinion and relates stories regarding the topic. i really learned a lot in this course and was very happy. The worst is the tests, they suck.
This is a great professor. He is smart and if you listen in his class you will do well. He keeps it interesting and has interesting points.
amazing hands-on class, very informative and a great classroom, the beach
he's the best!
Awesome teacher! Funny and interesting. He will try to scare you off meat though.

Excellent subject excellent instructor very effective communicator- maybe the most important subject I've ever learned in school
Good professor... if you don't want to do the work, just get the notes and quizzes from last years class... looks to be 99% the same. Tests will give you some problem if you don't study, but if you're not going to do that, don't take the damn course.
Grembowicz is the MAN. He runs the coolest class you've even been in . . very funny guy who knows alot about what he teaches. If you want to actually learn something and not wanna kill yourself in the process . . take this man as your professor.
This man is a genius....But if you eat meat, you will stop after taking any of his classes...Great Teacher...
After just finishing the course, I can honestly say that I learned so much this semester. He is truly a man that knows his stuff. I hope you don't listen to what other people say and you make your own judgements,WE HAD A GREAT CLASS AND HE WAS FANTASTIC.
I have learned more in this class than any other. There is alot of information, but if you listen to his lectures and take notes you'll pass. Very informative and personalbe. I will certainly miss this class. Great learning expierence!!!!!.
prof. Grembowicz is an A#1 teacher both in teaching and in humor, his class was very interesting his points were clear. His expierences in life he incorperates in and gives you a real understanding of the subject.
Dad rocks!
TALK ABOUT BIOLOGY IMPAIRED! THAT WAS ME BEFORE TAKING THIS HIS CLASS! I actually UNDERSTOOD what he was teaching! I never had an interest in bio which made things alot harder for me. He's a great teacher and uses the simplest of terms to make you learn.
Professor Grembowicz gave me a true understanding of the course and took us on many interesting labs. He has a true passion for his work and it shows. Highest regards.
This class was a lot of fun and i learned a lot too. Prof. Grembowicz is a funny guy and makes the class very interesting. The tests are straight forward multiple choice and there are 2 lab tests. Easy if you go to class and just study notes.
Amazing guy! He's the reason I'm a vegetarian. Very charismatic and a very nice guy. I was in the hospital for a while and he made arrangements to let me finish the class and I got an A. Totally recommended.
"Grem" was a nice guy.He took an interest in students,and really cared about the environment.Great outdoor labs.
If only I had a Prof. like this in A&P 1. Very easy to follow compaired to my first class.
He gives you everything you need to know in your notes and is very clear about what is on each test. He also always tells you when you'll have a quiz and what to study for it. AND If you take him for Bio I and then again for Bio II he gives you extra points at the end of the semester.
Very interesting guy and not a hypocrite about what he teaches, which he does well. Good teacher and the tests aren't that bad. Ample opportunity to boost your grades and you will learn very useful information from him.
Great educator. I wish there were more professors like him. Tough subject but to his credit, I was able to earn an A. I highly recommend him for any course that he is teaching!
I really liked his teaching style. Environmental Science labs were the best and I learned a lot. I could still tell you the differnet plants and trees from the that we learned from the lab.
The best teacher ever!! Tries to come off as being tough, but he's not. Makes sure everyone understands before moving on. His tests are pretty much clinical application, but if you think it out, you'll do fine! He's got some great stories, and he is quite a comedian!! Highly, highly recommended!!!!!!!!
"Grem" is awesome. He cares about his students and the work they do. He is very helpful, his work isn't easy so you can't slack off, but he is a great teacher. Outdoor labs (because he hates the classroom) and gives you a true sense of the environment. **WARNING** Rain, shine, or snow. You will be going out, out midterm was in the snow!
Great teacher - very clear. Dont need text - everything in notes. Really nice person - helpful.

Don't let other people scare you about Prof. Grembowitz, he is one of the best professors I've ever had. If you apply yourself, you'll do great in his class, I know I did! And I never even bought the book.
I had Grembowicz for every class he taught. I would take him again in a heart beat. He is fun and informative. Do take advantage of him or he will be tough on you. He's really understanding if you are having trouble as long as you let him know. I recommend taking him if you get a chance even if you don't need the class.
Teacher uses classical lecture style. If you show up, pay attention and take notes, you'll do well. I never even opened the book and got a B+. He was excellent :)
Great professor! I wish all my prof's were like him. A & P II is no joke and I was able to earn an A. I share the credit with him for his great teaching skills. Don't take chances, take Grembowicz.
tests are hard. professor is awesome
I had him for lecture and Blake for lab...I liked Grem much better than Blake. Don't even bother buying the book...tests come from notes...wish I had realized that before I shelled out all the money :( Tests/quizzes are pretty challenging, but once the semester ends he's very generous with grades...I got a B and I am really bad at science!
Good professor. Quirky sense of humor, but knowledgable and confident in subject matter.
He is a wonderful professor. He explains the material in great detail and makes it easy to understand. I would recomend any of his classes. It is nice to see someone passionate about what they do.
Awsome professor. He is so good at making it so you understand everything and you totally don't need to buy the book if you take hime. all his test are from his lectures. you'll learn a lot but he is easy if you show up to class most of the time
I had Grembowicz for both Bio I & Bio II...he taught lecture and Antontelli did the lab. I am not very good in the sciences, and ended up getting an B the first time around, and an A the second time. Don't buy the book...it's a waste of money. Take good notes and you'll be fine. Gives a "signing bonus" for those students who take more than once!A+
awesome
Best bio professor at OCC.. funny as hell too!
Grembowicz is one of the best professors I've ever had. He has a very good sense of humor and made class interesting. His notes are very helpful, so I highly suggest showing up for all of his classes if you want to do well on the tests and quizes. I wish I could take him for all of my science courses.
awesome teacher..one of the best i ever had. pretty cute too
he's pretty much my role model
One of the best teachers that I have ever had. Real good professor. Everything comes from his notes.
Prof. Grembowicz comes across as a tough guy at first impression but as long as you study the material, show up, & show initiative you'll be fine. He doesn't like slackers & WON"T except tardiness! If you give it your all he will be more than willing to help you out.
Without a doubt the best teacher I have ever had. Grembo is extremely tough, but thorough. I did not do well on the tests but I retained all the information. Do the work, show up and dont be lazy and he'll love you. Practical isnt too too bad. This man has inspired me to go to Med School. If your lazy don't bother.. if not TAKE HIM!!!
Great teacher! Hard, but very clear. Take him if you can. Study hard though
very knowledgable teacher, awesome outdoor labs, he'll definitely get you interested in science and the environment. his classes were never boring but some of his tests were a little tough so definitely study. test material is mainly from the notes so the text is not really needed. basically, grembo is the best teacher you'll ever have, period.
Awesome. Do yourself a favor and take him. I wish there were more classes I could take with him.. funny guy, a little arrogant at times but easy to look past. crazy smart.. just all around great teacher.
I had him for Bio and just recently for A&P 2. Awesome teacher with great stories to go along with the lecture. He will definetly make you think about the world around you a little bit differently.
Great prof. Funny, very dry sense of humor. Very helpful and patient. Hard to get an A in his class but you learn alot. Pay attention, take notes, and study! Study! Study! Tests are hard but his notes have everything you need. Def take him!!
great professor. made bio interesting. extremely intelligent man. funny too. i recommend highly for bio. the tests are directly from the notes. no surprises here.
Hearing as many positive things as I did about Grembo, I was eager to take his class. He is one of the most intelligent people I've ever met. He is never boring and his witty humor is an extra. Labs were amazing. I am sad this class is over. I learned so much in so little time. He is awesome. DO NOT slack though, this is not that kind of class!
Reading his profile here made me take his class, but after taking his class, I'm disappointed. He's teachings are confusing, he's everywhere on his lecture, and his exams doesn't reflect his lectures nor the textbook. Doesn't provide any lecture guidelines either. Believe me, I study, I got an A on my AP1, but this professor, gets me dumbfounded.
Professor is very thourough and extremely prepared. His lectures are very interesting, knowledgeable, and precise. He brings a wealth of experience into the classroom. He creates a high standard in the classroom that most students meet. I highly recommend Professor Grembowicz as a professor
I had Grembo for AP2, Marine Biology, and Ecology. Every lecture this professor gave was filled with entertainment and information that you will remember. Any person who has any interest in Science should take Grembo without any hesitation! He really is the man! GL Grembo keep up the ?good finds? in lab and don?t eat random mustard plants!
He's AWESOME
Even as a Biology Major, this was hands down my favorite class. It was one of those classes that everyday you went home with something new and interesting to talk about. Not only interesting, his sense of "Science Humor" is more than amusing. And the exploratory labs are out of this world! MUST TAKE THIS CLASS!!! "Save the World, Kill yourself."
A+++! Grembo knew a lot and had a sense of humor. He always stopped what he was doing in his office to help. He had a lot of patience with some students. He should do stand up comedy. Would definitely take him again.
Very good professor! Comes off like he's a hard ass but is really a nice guy! I would take his class again!
I enjoyed this class. If I was a full time student here I would take another class with him. The lecture is very clear and if you take excellent notes you will be fine.. just study hard and don't fall behind. Despite what he may come off like in lecture he is a very nice person. Just don't believe him when he says you don't need to read the text!
Prof. Grembowitz reversed the eduction that I got in A&P I a made A&P II a great learning experience. If I had a better A&P I teacher I would of got a better grade in this class.
Take this professor! His course will open your eyes and change your life! The quizzes are easy, but the test are challenging and you have to pay attention in class or you will not do very well. Expect to get wet, muddy, dirty, and bug bitten...maybe a blister or 2... but it is worth it. and the class is exciting. every day you learn something new!
grembowiczs is by far the bests teacaher i've ever had. i highly recommend you take any course he teaches.
pretty awesome teacher
Grembowicz is not a bad professor, but he gives NO extra credit but he's not the toughest professor I've ever had!
Grembo is a really nice guy. He wrote a letter for me to transfer and he got me a scholarship too.I took him for 3 classes!
i love grembowicz
Took him in the summer - so the course was intense - but he is an awesome professor. So knowledgeable, sincerely inerested in the success of each student. Dry and sometimes biting sense of humor-but don't take it personally, just enjoy as entertainment. Pleasant person and VERY QUALIFIED INSTRUCTOR.
one of the funniest teachers i have ever had, he makes class interesting and fun
I took the class & failed the 1st time. I Just dont have a nack for science. I got an A this time. Grembo is so helpful,& always available. He was so wonderful. I have never recieved such a high level of attention from a professor before. He is one of the great ones! TAKE HIM! He's the Best professor at OCC. Ask for help and you will get it!
I am in love with Grembowicz
Truly a great teacher! He is very, very knowledgeable and experienced about biology, and so can give clear and personal examples of things. Understanding and easy to work with. You definitely have to do your work to do well, though. He's funny and makes lectures interesting and easy to follow, even at 9am.
Hands Down the best professor I've ever had! He is teaching method is the best I've experienced. LOVE HIM.
i hate biology but this was my favorite class.. he makes it so interesting and he is the FUNNIEST guy i have ever met- plain and simple, i loved him and i would take the entire class over again just to have him!
Its all note taking, I never opened the book once and he told us from the beginning we didnt even need to bring it. Tests were hard but hes a really funny guy. Makes class enjoyable.
Take him...Very funny.. lots of note talking but all worth it. Gives you the second to last day of class to study for final...awesome..Great guy
Good Teacher, Don't miss any classes, takes all his notes from power point. No Essays, No Book needed, Just quizes and 4 test and 2 Lab Pract.
Whoever failed env152 deserved to fail. If you do the extra credit, study for the tests, bring your camera to lab, ask questions in class and participate, you cant possibly get less than a B. I took this class 8 years ago and failed because I stopped showing up!I just re-took it and got an A. Grembo is the best prof @OCC &env. is the best class-ng
Grembowicz is an excellent teacher, and one of the finest human beings I have ever met. He brings you into the field and shows you real life examples that physically exist. not just some textbook picture. ENV should be a required course at occ. Its been the most eye opening experience for me. I am a vegetarian because of him!
I picked Professor and discovered that I had picked a winner. Definitely his "strong suit" is clinical applications and disorders. You will actually learn how to reason problems out, a plus for someone who couldn't think theoretically. Classic lecture style & no surprises. Highly recommended A+++!
By far my favorite professor. Even if I failed this course I would have to recommend him. Very intelligent, very funny, all around great person. A grade will not be handed to out, but you will learn through his teaching. Highly recommended, take him for whatever courses he teaches.
The best science teacher I have ever had, and easily one of the best teachers ever. He is crystal clear in his teaching. It is impossible to not understand the material. It seems like he lectures to his tests, so as long as you take good notes and study them, an A is inevitable. He is nice, funny, and cares. Highly reccomended!!!!!
awesome professor, highly recommend!! he is easy to understand and is extremely helpful plus he is super funny which helps classes to go by quickly.
Professor G. was (is) a good kind person and always came into the class & lab with a smile. During his office hours he always stopped what he was doing to help. I wish I had him for A&P. I like his style of explaining things in lecture & lab.
Very good teacher! make sure you write down ALL of his notes or you will be lost. tests can be demanding but if you study well you will do well. good humor and passes time quickly. HIGHLY RECOMEND.
awesome professor!! i started off hating him but at the end i totally recommend him.. he's a bit hard to get used to but he really does an awesome job teaching! i got an A!!
Read his profile & decided to take his class.No doubt he's knowledgeable with the material,however,his exams don't reflect his lectures or the textbook.At exam time,a number of fellow classmates felt like they were in the wrong class-the exams were all over the place. If you are struggling in this class, don't expect any help-no extra credit given.
Seriously the best professor I have ever had. He is not easy, but if this is your fiels you will learn. Take good notes and you will be set for the tests. Very funny. The best part is that he teaches, he doesn't just read definitions for the whole class. Highly recommend.
I have not yet had a professor quite like Grembowicz, he is by far the best that i have had. He makes learning not just words and boring subjects but he makes it an experience, he truly gets to know the students, he grades fairly and is possibly the smartest person i have ever met, let a lot hes really funny
Prof Grembowicz has a very dry sense of humor. He is very intelligent and true to his students. He makes you work very hard. Regardless of what grade you got in the class A or C, you come out of that class knowing something. He does not spoon feed anyone. He is fair. He prepared me for the nursing program.
I took Prof. Grembowicz several years ago for A&P II and it was the BEST experience. Prof. Grembowicz prepared me for the challenge of being an RN. My hats off to him! Don't listen to what others say. HE IS THE BEST!
I hate this class and I hate the way he teaches, his exams are tricky and not direct...he tries to confuse you. I will never take him again.
best teacher ever. he is so clear with his notes and i like his teaching style. if you write down everything he says, you will get an A on his tests. he is so funny!
I had Proff. Grembowicz For Environmental Science but i wish he taught every other science class. All you have to do is not treat his class like your in high school and your fine and he makes the labs as fun as possible. DEFF RECOMMEND!!!!!!!
This guy is a solid teacher! He presents the material clearly and makes the lectures interesting. Doesnt allow you to slack off, as there is a quiz every week and you'd better be prepared by taking good notes and also read the textbook based on those notes. Tests are very fair and if you study you will do well. Lectures can be funny.
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!!!
The finest professor you will ever have. BUT... You MUST study - end of story! He is intelligent,caring,organized, interested in life and quite comical. If you're ready to work, then take him. You will learn an enormous amount of useful info. If you are just looking for an easy "A" - then look elsewhere. Thank you Prof. G. SIMPLY THE BEST! DG
Grembo is a really nice guy who is knowledgeable and still interested in his topics, even though he is a seasoned teacher. He tries to apply biology to your own life which no one ever did for me. Everyone should talk to him during his office hours which are always busy with students, but he made time for this non bio major. I want to take him for o
Great Professor, not an easy A whatsoever. You have to study like with any A&P course. Loves what he teaches. Stick with him, you'll be glad you did.
The most exceptional professor you will EVER have. First day of class, he comes off as really intimidating, but he said himself, he's "all heart". I never looked forward to a class as much as his, and I will never forget how I left his labs smiling almost every time. Take him for e/t he has to teach, I gaurentee you'll learn a lot! Best prof. @OCC!
LOVED HIM. hes the best teacher ive ever had.
This professor is totally my role model. I want to be just like him when I grow up <33 you will never find a teacher better than him. Show up, do your work, let him see that you're putting in the effort, and you're golden. Never had a professor who cared so much or was so clear before. Absolutely loved him--how could you possibly not?! <33
Pine Barrens Biology 101 Highly recommended, extremely interesting class and Professor. Great field trips. Not an ?easy? class but worth it. Take notes and do reading, the tests are taken from both. Do a journal. Don?t fall behind. Great topic. Unforgettable class. A+!
Had him for this class BIO 2,and Pinelands. He is great! Write down everything he says, study it,know it and take his tests. I got an A every time. He is brilliant and funny. If you do not know your material, you will not do well. If you know your stuff, you WILL get an A! Very interesting and eye opening class.
Excellent professor! Come to class prepared and ready to take notes. You will pass the course with ease.
loved him but his classs was hard! he does give slot of extra credit but his tests are very hard!
Grembo is the BEST! I am not into science one bit, but after taking his environmental class I LOVED IT! He made it SO much fun, especially the filed trips you take! I would HIGHLY recommend him, but his tests are tricky, not easy. Just listen to him, he has lots of interesting lectures!
The first three tests I read the notes before the test and I didn't do too well. For the last test I spent 3 weeks studying and I had an 81 (C+) in the class. I needed a B. I must have gotten an A on the test. All you need to do is read the notes and everything on the tests will be in your notes. Best teacher ever!
He's my role model. That pretty much sums it up.
Best class to ever take in the summer time! The lectures were amazing, and the labs were out of this world! So much fun, and you end up learning a LOT. It's a lot of material to learn in 5 weeks, but Prof. Grembowicz makes it managable. Tip: Review your notes every night. Otherwise, this was an A++ class! Highly recommended!
Great lecture.. he is very smart,knows his stuff. But he thinks you should know everything, his test are very hard, they don't match up with your notes, and he does not use the book. No extra credit. Take someone else
Excellent Prof! Class is hard, there's a lot of notes & studying involved. Lec quiz every week unless there's an exam. He will never have lec & lab exam in the same week. Pay attention! He will explain anything & everything until you understand. He gives a review prior to all exams. LOVE HIM!!!
Great professor! Biology is a tough subject, so it's kinda a given that you need to study or you're gonna fail. He is a great teacher, but he usually just does lectures. Make sure you get a decent lab teacher, that was my mistake with this class.
I took environmental science w/ him and it was by far the best class I took at OCC. Not only is he super smart, but he's also hilarious. He also has a facebook group dedicated to him, which only confirms how awesome he is as a professor.
Best professor I've had at OCC. He owns, you can really learn alot from him. Take his class :]
He is the best professor I have taken (a&p II). He takes the time to explain things until you understand them and will answer all questions. He grades very fairly and leads an excellent lab. He makes sure everyone is seeing the right thing in lab and the practicals are very well organized. He has a good attitude and personality too.
Very good professor. Only negatives is he makes nasty comments about the spouse of the politcal leaders he opposes and tries to make his students become vegans with scare tactics. He also makes fat jokes about people. I find him a good teacher but personally repulsive and condescending.
I'm taking him now for bio and Environmental and I'm taking him for everything else I can. I love this man. He's hilarious and so smart. He does push his opinions on you, but everything he says is all fact. Not an easy A, but I actually look forward to going to his classes. Take him for whatever you can. He helps those who are loyal to him.
Great professor!I took him for AP2 and he knows the material and is great about explaining it.He condenses the material in the book for his lectures and as long as you take good notes and study hard,you will do fine.It is a lot of material so be prepared.You don't need the book,but it is really helpful before a test.His labs are a lot of fun!
He TRIES to trick you Read every question on the test 3x &look at it from every perspective Do not be fooled he DOES NOT give straightforward tests! The essay part wasn't too bad that was pretty simple MAKE SURE YOU STUDY. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. IF YOU DON'T STUDY, YOU'RE D E A D!!! Otherwise A++ prof wouldn't give up his class for the world!
Great Professor! One of the best at OCC. His tests are very hard; you will fail them if you don't study. Always looked forward to his class, even though science is not my strongest subject. Labs are off campus and very interesting and fun. I reccomend him highly.
Amazing teacher! The best at OCC by far in the science department (or any department for that matter.) He speaks clearly, easy to understand, will answer any and all questions (even if they're irrelevant) tests were difficult but he gives many extra credit opportunities (all worth 10pts on exam/practicals) and even drops your lowest quiz grade.
This guy is a solid teacher. Wicked sense of humor. He makes the material easy to understand. Excellent lectures and labs. Tests are difficult but reflect lectures. Study and you'll do well.
My favorite college professor ever! NEVER used the book! Tests are given solely on his lecture material. YOU MUST show up and take good notes. Labs are fantastic. All off-site at local beaches, parks, etc. Good sense of humor. Should keep political thoughts to himself though, so watch out for subtle indoctrination. Regardless, he's a great teacher!
Awesome professor, test are a bit challenging, but he gives you all that you need in order to succeed, so study and you'll do well....
Amusing, Extremely organized and clear in his lecture delivery. u will learn if you take decent notes and will get at least a B if you study ur notes. enjoy his class, its some of the best college learning ive ever had.
had Professor Grembowicz for Bio 161 and had to take him again for Environmental the following semester! He's a fantastic professor who is always looking out for the interest of his students. The material and tests are challenging, however if you put in the work he's willing to help you get the grade you deserve. great proffessor, no complaints!
I learned more in one semester from Professor Grembowicz than any other prof I have ever had. He is such an excellent teacher that if you skip lectures, it really is YOUR loss. Nobody ever said AP2 is easy but you will learn this material with this prof if you work hard. I also enjoyed his dark sense of humor.
My favorite professor! You can tell he really loves to teach. He's always there to help you and answer questions. He wants all of his students to succeed, but also to learn. He was very funny and entertaining. I would definitely recommend him.
Great professor. Makes class fun. Always cracked jokes and really cares about the material. He gets really into it which is good. Very easy and I learned a lot.
He is an awesome professor. Took him for two classes and enjoyed them so much. Exams are not easy, but he gives pleanty of extra credit opportunities. Study and you will be fine. Highly recommended
if you're taking a biology class at OCC and actually want to learn something, take his class. this professor knows his biology. tests were a little hard, but if you show up and take notes - easy A. i took two of his classes and loved them. HE'S THE MAN!
awesome professor... very helpful and understanding
Brilliant man. Simply brilliant. When you sit in his class, you feel as though you're not at a community college. You feel as though you're speaking with a Dr. of Ecology at a major university. I would recommend him 10X over! Wish I was a Science major so I could keep taking him!
Makes a hard class easy by his intelligence, humor and explanations. Great teacher, great mentor!!!
One of the best Professors I have had at this college. A&P II can be challenging, but he kept the class interested and offered great examples! My only regret was that I didn't have hime for A&P I.
One of the best professors at OCC. Very funny and keeps you interested in the material. Studying is a must because his tests are NOT easy. However, the weekly lecture quizzes help a lot and lab is fun and easy. I wish he was teaching micro so I could take him after this semester is over!
Prof. Grembowicz is a brilliant professor he loves teaching and has a passion for the subject. His class by any means is not easy you have to study and know the material inside out!! He helps in any way possible i recommend you take his lecture and lab for best results. wish i took him for A&P 1!!
Duane Grembowicz is one of the most outstanding teachers I have ever had. His class really opened my eyes to the importance of knowing environmental science while also developing a real appreciation of nature. People from all areas of education NEED to take this course with Grembowicz.. It will change your life!
professor is smart but do not take unless u enjoy it.. He acts like this is the only class your taking. Lab practicals are stupid and he doesnt even tell you what to study for them.. hes also very rude and opinionated..
Best professor I ever had for this subject, had to retake it due to my credits not transferring from a previous school and he just explains everything in a well manner and if you stick to his power points especially focus on diagrams and pictures you are set. he explains thuroughly and tests on only what he goes over in class.
He is literally the best professor I had in all of my undergraduate studies! Incredibly clear and very interesting - brings in things from outside the class. Wish I could have had him for more classes!
Brilliant man. Infuses humor passion and an ability to make you want to learn into every lesson. Take him if you are serious about learning. He makes you absorb the information from every angle. You can not just memorize this stuff, he makes you apply it. Best professor I have ever had. Wish he taught all my classes!!
He's a great lecturer. Need to take pristine notes or you will not do well. His classes are generally full. Comfortable in his position at head of the class, he's a democrat all the way. Tough.
Pay attention in class and review his powerpoints before exams. He hands you all information on a silver platter. Labs are a joke; simply show up to his Practical review session (Grem shows you the test). Display interest by attending extra credit opportunities he offers. Your reward will be far greater than the points awarded if you get my drift
so bad, extremely negative person and test are hard. if you do not take notes and pay attention, your doomed. alot of work too
He is an amazing professor. Makes class interesting and fun. He's tests are just as hard as any Anatomy and Philosophy class you would take. He's extremely helpful who truly want to get a good grade in his class. I recommend to studying a lot in order to get an A.
I was going away and would miss a 3 hour class so I asked him if I could make up for it or do extra credit or something. He told me -"yes, you can wash my car." I was 19 at the time and never told anyone. Years later I felt insulted by that comment and infuriated about the grade he gave me. I wish I could of spoke up but I guess it's too late!
Best professor I've ever had. Incredibly knowledgable, really funny. It's not the easiest class in the world, but he makes it interesting and easy to learn. You'd be crazy to take bio with anyone else.
Knows his stuff. You WILL LEARN in this class, but will work for your grade. Awesome man.
By the end of next semester I will have taken him for 6 classes, because he is the absolute best at teaching! He is professional and serious but funny and very helpful. Tests are straight from his powerpoint, he offers 3 extra credits, each 10 points, and his labs are off campus. I like to compare him to Mr. Feeny from "Boy Meets World".
Makes sure to explain things in a way youll understand. He loves joking around in a sarcastic kind of way. ALWAYS be on time to class, he hates being interrupted by late people. He gets very excited about certain things, just nice guy overall. Gives 3 10pt extra credit opportunities. Tests and quizzes are straight from powerpoint presentations.
at the end of next semester i'll have taken him for my 5th class. best professor at this school hands down, you'll love this guy
Best professor I've had at OCC! Very funny and helpful.
The first science professor that didn't put me to sleep through their powerpoint. He is direct and funny. He does give up to 30pts extra credit. If I had more time to study for tests would have gotten an A for sure. Gives weekly quizzes from last weeks lecture at beginning of class, if you miss it you get a 30%. 4 tests.
I've taken this professor for two different biology courses. He is so great! I would take him again if he taught more course that I need. I almost took a random course for no reason, just because he was teaching it. He is fair and wants you to learn. I never used the book. I got an A in Bio I and an A in Envi Sci. Take him!
The best teacher at Ocean.
If taking environmental science, I would definitely take him! He makes class really interesting and goes in depth on certain environmental problems. Just pay attention well, and you'll do well!
Professor Grembowitz is one of my favorite teachers. His lectures are clear, concise, and to the point. As long as you study his power points tests should be no problem. He can be a little condescending but his teaching ability makes up for it.
Never used the textbook! 4 tests and a few quizzes make up the entire grade. No study guides, 100s of power points per test. Super tough teacher, nice guy though.
Grembowicz is the best professor at occ. He truly cares about his students (the ones that put the effort in). He is funny and his expectations are clear. He gives 3 opportunities for extra credit. His tests and quizzes are based on his power points and lecture. If you're a dedicated student take him! Grem has a lot of knowledge to share! The best!
Grembowicz is by the book from the very start, taking forever going over the syllabus and telling students what is required by the "lawyers," he is a huge square. He can also be condescending and nasty, treating students like high school rather than college. Besides being a creep, he explains in good detail, even if it is slow. Everything in PwrPts
pretty hard but hes nice and you can pass if you work
Prof. Grembowicz is a great lecturer and teaches with passion. His grading criteria is simple so just take notes and study them for quizzes and tests. He's quick witted and sarcastic which is sometimes mistaken for being condescending but he really does care about his students. Would definitely take him again.
Professor Grembowics is an amazing lecturer. He is clear and to the point always backing his lectures up with hilarious stories and jokes. There is never homework and he offers extra credit. His class is difficult but as long as you pay attention it is easy to pass. He is amazing and i will continue to take his classes!
One of the best professors at OCC. He IS a tough grader, but he cares, his lectures are on point, and he is very funny. I am not good at science, but got an A in his class. If you work hard, you will pass.
Amazing guy. only grades were tests/quizzes and final project. But he's super insightful, intelligent, and a little cynical but in a humorous and respectful way. You get 3 extra credit options a semester. all are +10 on your lowest tests. notes every class, never out early, but so worth it. especially if you're interested in environmental harmony.
This guy is hands down the best professor at OCC. If you have a crummy sense of humor, don't take him. He is very passionate about his job and gets his students very intrigued and interested in his lectures. Funny dude too! His class is pretty hard which consisted of 4-5 tests and a paper. Lab is easy too.
I'm very good at science, but I loved and did well in his class. Quizzes and tests are pretty easy if you read over the powerpoints (he posts them online). You can get up to 30 points extra credit. He is hilarious and I would cry laughing in his class. He will make you care about the environment
Grembowicz is amazing. He has so much knowledge on so many different subjects, I swear he has the brain of an elephant. He is extremely informative and passionate about what he does. His extra credit is basically going out into nature. He is very easy to talk to and has a sarcastic sense of humor. Take him!!
funny man, tells interesting stories, every on PowerPoint just pay attention and study you will get A or B
I've taken him for 3 classes and am going for another next semester. By far the most involved and passionate professor I've ever had. He has a dark sense of humor, so if that's not your thing I wouldn't recommend him. He lectures for the entire class and always tells you when you have a quiz. Extra credit is basically 30 free points on exams.
Professor Grembowicz is probably one of the best science professors at OCC. He literally is so knowledgeable in many different subjects. He is so funny and made class enjoyable. There was not one day where I didn't laugh in that class. Although he may seem like he is mean, he actually really cares about his students and gives extra credit! TAKE HIM
show up do the work and your fine
Best professor on campus. Seriously!!! Couldn't ask for a better professor. He's wickedly smart, and funny.
One of the best professors I have ever had! He was hilarious and really knows his stuff. You can tell he is passionate about what he does. He makes you work for your grade but it is so worth it! 100% recommend
Great professor, show up, take notes, and study.
I had a hard time with his tests but I didnt study enough for them. He does give 3 opportunities for extra credit, so take them! If you do take him make sure you write down what he says that is not on his power point slides because it will probably be on the test. Overall, I would take a class of his again
I love environmental science. I had a different professor for the lab which she was cool. His class is hard & His exams are hard & unfortunately I had to take the W. I am student who wrote notes down all the time. I even printed out his PowerPoints. I am still puzzled how I got 50's on his exams. Just be prepared to study a lot & take extra credit!
Best professor in my college experience. Inspires you to learn. He is extremely knowledgable in all the fields he teaches, I've taken him for 4 classes, each time I left fully understanding what was going on. I wish I could take him for more classes. Highly recommend.
I read these other reviews students gave and I am beyond puzzled. This professor is the HARDEST professor I have EVER had. I am an excellent student I have almost a perfect GPA. This class is super difficult his tests are impossible! No matter how hard I study I get 70s. If you are not ready to work extremely hard please DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.
Professor Grembowicz is a really great professor. He does make jokes in class, lecture heavy during his PowerPoints, his tests and quizzes are fair, labs are tough unless you study but Id definitely take him again if I could.
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 Grembowitz is by far the best and my favorite professor Ive ever had. His class is all lecture, but he keeps your attention because he knows what he is talking about. He keeps the class interesting and funny with his dry sense of humor. Tests are hard, be ready to put in work and do the extra credit. Definitely would take again
He is an awesome professor but taking his class was really hard for me, I first got a 46 but since he gives you 30 points of extra credit it was kind of worth it. His tests are SO HARD be prepared to study A LOT!
He makes his own grading scale besides the grading scale the school goes by. He also spends time discussing his views on politics instead of explaining the material on the powerpoints. He rudely answers any questions the students have.
Awesome teacher, really knows what he is talking about. Gives 6 quizzes and drops lowest and 4 exams. They are exactly what he teaches in class so if you pay attention you will do easy. Joke around with the guy and you will have fun! Take his lab, he really is fun
First day of class he spent the whole time ranting about how he hated people, made sketchy remarks, and pushed his political views every opportunity he got. Hes got a large ego and is very disrespectful. And tells you right away that you wont get an A. I was able to switch to another class thankfully. The teacher I have now is kind and wonderful
I took Prof. Grembowitz during the summer as a 5 week course and I got to say it was an amazing experience. He's a tough grader but you really learn with his course, his labs are interactive so youre not staring at a powerpoint all day. he also gives 30 pt extra credit in lecture! my A&P1 course i got a C so it was a huge step up to get a B+ in his
he will make you want to change the world because he tell you how bad people are to thins world
Grembowicz is the BEST professor ! His humor will sneak attack you and keep things interesting and he does not have a monotone voice so the lectures won't be so winding. As with any class, show up, TAKE NOTES!, and study. All the poor ratings come from people who shouldn't even be in college if they're complaining about putting in work. 10/10 prof
He is a really funny, science loving guy. He takes pride in what he does, and you will learn a lot, while enjoying it. He never gives homework, just quizzes and exams, but he does offer a lot of extra credit. You'll definitely have to study to pass, but he is so worth it! I loved every second of his lectures!
Guys, all of you wanting to take General Biology, look no further, he's your guy. Great personality, really caring, dedicated, warm, funny and a whole lot more. He drops your lowest test grade and gives an opportunity for a big chunk of E.C. He sounds scary on the first day but its part of his shpeel. Enjoy
As a business major, I was surprised to find my favorite class of the week being this class with prof. Grembowicz! He cares about the material and kept me interested during his lectures! He has a dark sense of humour and I had a great time in class. He obviously is democrat but me, a republican, I didnt mind. Take him! (Unless you're a snowflake.)
I took Professor Grembowicz for Environmental Science this past semester and it was the hardest class I think I have ever taken. He makes you work hard and truly wants you to succeed in his classes. Be prepared to study and pay attention during his lectures and his labs.
Professor Grembowicz is a great professor. He is very smart and intelligent. I loved the lab clasess, it was fun. However, if you are looking for an A, this is going to be hard. You have to study a lot to get even a B. Tests are so difficult. This class messed up my GPA unfortunately, since Im an A student but got the only one B in this class.
Grembowicz is one of the best professors I have ever had in my entire college career. You learn a lot of really valuable information in his class that sticks with you and yeah, there's a lot to study but it's worth it! His sense of humor can be a little dark but at least it makes class more interesting.
I have taken Prof Grem for two courses now, and I wish I discovered him earlier in my college career. He truly cares for his students and makes you really work and learn for the grade but its worth it. Different than other sci prof in the sense that his labs are all travel, so hands on learning. Very inspirational man. Overall best prof at OCC.
Hes a really good professor who definitely knows what he is talking about. He rarely gives homework but this means that tests are your whole grade. Heavily opinionated but Overall a great professor if youre here to learn. Not an easy a.
Overall one of the best profs Ive ever had, he is extremely knowledgeable and has real world experience in his field. One thing I didnt like was how he kept trying to project his political opinions onto the class...
Great professor! Knows his stuff, great sense of humor, & gives you all the necessary tools to succeed. Definitely possible to pass the course. Huge opportunities for extra credit, so be sure to take advantage of it. Doesn't assign homework, so study study study. Gives 4 exams and 6 quizzes, & drops lowest quiz grade. I got a B... I'm a genius!!
This man is a legend. I've taken all of the classes Grembowicz teaches, and now that I'm no longer at OCC, I long for the days of his classes. If you're looking to learn (not memorize) then any of his classes are for you. Labs are all outside, and you identify different plants/birds. Absolute amazing, I wish he taught upper level classes!
One of the best profs I have ever had. Quizzes and tests aren't an easy A, but the lowest quiz grade is dropped and he gives multiple extra credit assignments. Labs are mostly all off-campus. Makes every class interesting and is extremely knowledgable. I wish I could take more of his classes.
Honestly its been years since Ive had him... but hes made such an impact on my education that I felt the need to drop him a good review on here. Just a great professor and an amazing person. Take him for all his classes. Hes the best hands down!!
I took every class he taught. I graduate this year from another school, and I am so thankful for taking his class. He will be the best professor you'll ever have. I miss his classes every day!
Professor Grembowicz is very knowledgeable and passionate about environmental science. With that being said, you definitely need to study to do well. Every class is a lecture. He brings up politics often but in relation to environmental policies. He's very blunt and quite funny, so lectures are often somewhat entertaining.
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.
WORST PROFESSOR EVER for AP. He doesn't communicate with students and only gives exams and quizzes. 25% quizzes and 75% exams and he spell checks. The class is basically self-taught. He does nothing to help you because he never answers emails or phone calls. He gives slides and that is it. He doesn't actually teach you anything. #LAZY Stay AWAY!
Apparently the professor that has received such high reviews is not the same professor students have taken in the past. I took a pine barrens class as an online elective. He requires you to meetup on Sunday mornings no exceptions. I have a full time job and could not go. Only class I am failing. Tests heavy, never answers emails, zero empathy.
Great lectures, makes the topics relevant and interesting.
Personally was not the biggest fan. His teaching is very hard to follow, he goes through sections very quickly, get ready to teach yourself. Quizlets will become your very best friend.
Professor Grembowicz is a fantastic, passionate lecturer. He has a knack for explaining confusing concepts really well, and makes sure everyone is following. He also tells many interesting stories that he's experienced over his long career. The tests can be challenging, but are fair, and correlate to material learned. I would highly recommend.
One of the best professors Ive ever had. Took his ecology class a few years ago put me so ahead for where I am now after graduating.
Prof Grembowicz is among the best instructors I've had in any subject. I took him for environmental science and biology. Deeply passionate, complicated guy who is clearly moved by the subject matter that he discusses. Well-traveled, insightful, with a quick wit. I look back on his classes fondly.
His tests aren't the easiest tests ever so this is definitely not an easy A course, but professor Grembowicz has a sense of humor I personally admire and always seems to know what he is talking about, he offers extra credit which is a big plus. The grade weight could be better, but is relatively fair, wish your lab was worth more points.
None of the stuff he goes over is on the exams. He only grades quizzes and exams, and drops the lowest quiz score. Love the way he goes over each topic thoroughly, but it's like the exam is entirely different. He does offer easy extra credit, but that barely helped me bring my grade up to even a C. Despite that, he is really funny and laid back !
Great professor, just be ready to study for hours.
Professor Grembowicz knows his stuff, but the class is no easy A. Attend lectures, use the free textbook, and try Unstuckstudy for helpful study aids. Expect challenging tests, but the professor has a great sense of humor.
Took this class in my first year of college expecting it to be difficult but Prof. Grembowicz truly knows his stuff and is an amazing teacher.
I took Professor Grembowics for "Summer First 5," and the three hour lectures coupled with three hour labs twice a week was a lethal combination. Only graded on weekly quizzes / exams and two lab tests based on random pictures of plants. Labs are fun. This class is the only B I have ever gotten. Study!! He also proclaims that he is "brilliant."
Professor Grembowicz is a great professor who truly cares about environmental science and his students. This course is challenging but very rewarding. Any student who puts in the work through reading the slides, attending office hours, and attending the extra credits will do well in this course. 4 exams, 2 lab practical's, 5 quizzes and drops low.
Prof Grembowicz's lectures are at a fast pace so be prepared to take notes fast. He has 4 exams and 5 quizzes throughout the semester, so definitely do extra credit when given the opportunity. His labs are not stationed in a classroom, they are at state parks throughout Ocean County. I would take him again for a science course if I had too.
intelligent, funny, and great in general
Can report and write bad things about students if they do not show up to class, but other than that, he loves students who are passionate about his subjects. He likes to talk about things that do not belong in this classroom, such as his personal life. Gives 4 exams, and they're fairly easy. Decent professor overall. Make sure he likes you!
Great professor overall especially if you are interested in the subject. If you respect him, he'll respect you. Tough class, but if you try, study, and take notes you should pass easily.
I don't know why this professor has good ratings. You teach yourself the material, as he goes over everything in class so little and extremely fast. Questions on the exam are half what's on the slides and half of what he mumbles about during class. ONLY take this class if you have 40 years of knowledge under your belt in that subject, like he does.
Great professor and knows his stuff! This class is no easy A and requires lots of note-taking and studying for the two practicals. However, if you study and pay attention, you'll do just fine.
Rude, doesn't care about any of his students, hates on Trump the whole time, only exams. These exams are usually 55 questions from over 180+ slideshow pages combined so get ready to study. He clearly is miserable in life. One time he said that none of us would be successful (sounds like projection to me.) Do NOT listen to these good reviews.
Does not care about his students passing whatsoever as its all based on tests/quizzes! You have to really study for this class. He goes over his slideshows pretty fast, so you don't have the time to write stuff down. He does not offer alternative assignments for those who are struggling with their grade as I was very disappointed. DO NOT TAKE!
Does not care, the exams are impossible to pass unless you study all day and all night. Not a nice guy and is very negative. Always talking about his political views rather than teaching.
No idea where this guys good ratings came from. Obsessed with his own political agenda rather than teaching. Not a nice dude either.
