don't skip

Think he should be attending class, he can't teach.

Avoid him like the plague. He is inept. GVSU should monitor his classes. He should not be teaching as he has no skill for it. Only those extremely proficient in math should sign up for his classes & prepare to be bored.

AWFUL! Don't take this prof!

HORRIBLE!!! Has no interaction skills and cannot project to class!

Honestly probably one of the top 3 worst math teachers I have had. Cannot teach, does not project, very fidgety and nervous all the time. Does not go over enough examples-more concerned with getting material done with than the depth of knowledge. If I did not do well in math in HS, I would have been completely lost. STAY AWAY FROM THIS TEACHER!!!!!

don't take his class unless you're good at math

He is a horrible professor. Talks like he does not know what he is talking about. I dreaded going to this class. Does not know how to speak so the class gets annoying real fast. I would say try to find another teacher. NOT a good choice

Horrible Professor, isn't clear and doesn't answer question well. Definitly get out of his class

HORRIBLE TEACHER! It is so weird because he is really a nice guy but does not know how to teach a class. You basically have to teach yourself because when he stands up there he talks as if you know everything already and doesn't explain anything! Goes though problems without explanation. Do the HW/take homes and make sure its RT, it helps.

Very nice guy but the most socially inept professor I have ever had. He mumbles alot when explaining things and does a terrible job of that. awful.

Horrible professor! The worst I have had in college so far. He mumbles a lot and acts like we should already know what material is being covered. Does not explain mathmatical concepts whatsoever. Avoid this guy

he was a horrible teacher, just like everyone said he teaches the class like you already know what you are doing. Never explains how he gets from one step to the next, expects you to just read his mind. Plus hes very socially awkward. Avoid at all costs.

He is by far the worst professor I have had yet. He talks down to you and when you ask him a question he responds which a question in a sarcastic tone. DO NOT TAKE HIM. Math 122 should be a simple class and he makes it way more complicated than needed.

This was the worst experience I have had with a professor at GVSU. He is horrible at explaining course material and NONE of his lecture examples correlated with the textbook or homework. The textbook is required to do the assigned homework problems. The exams were extremely difficult! He is also terrible at answering questions, and rude.

Professor Gross was terrible. He speaks so quietly and in a mono tone voice that it is hard to hear him. He is not clear on assignments and never gives the assignments back. Although he is an easy grader and always rounds up. If your looking for an easy A take him. Otherwise he's terrible.

Tests are long! The class is run like a review, students are expected to know all the content already. Do not take this course if you are looking to be taught, it is best if you learn the lessons through another source before each class. Professor Gross does not take control of his classroom, there are often side conversations throughout class.

Worst math instructor I've ever had. I could definitely tell he knew what he was talking about, but he was terrible as far as conveying that information to his students. I had no idea what was going on 90% of the time. Complete waste of my time and money. 100% would not recommend as a instructor, especially if math is not your strong suit.

Hands down the worst professor I've ever had. He takes would should be a somewhat easy subject and makes it exponentially more difficult due to his lack of concise explanations. Even when asked to elaborate, he only explains how to do it (and poorly, I might add), not why it works. Oh and he has crippling social awkwardness. Avoid at all costs!

Worst professor I've ever had. Only making this comment to protect individuals GPA's, as he will surely ruin mine. His tests are not only longer and harder than other 122 professors, but Gross puts about half the effort as he should providing the class with useful tactics for learning essential concepts. Taught myself the class through the book.

He doesn't make sense at all when he teaches and don't expect to get help if you have a question because he will just get upset with you for not knowing what he doesn't even teach. Also, I hope you know how to teach yourself otherwise this class is going to make you learn how to real fast.

Not a fan, I have an A- but I have never worked so hard for an A in an intro-level class in my lifetime and I am well schooled. Poor quality explanations with little to no lecture/teaching. MAKE SURE YOU CAN TEACH YOURSELF! Otherwise, you will be in hot water.

He is not a good teacher. He doesn't know how to express what he wants to teach. Whenever someone gives a wrong answer he just kinda scoffs at the student and he brings the down them down for giving a wrong answer. All of his homework is for accuracy so if you don't understand it in class your basically screwed. One of the worst teachers at GV.

He is the worst professor I have had at GV. He made me feel dumb when I asked questions and did not help me at all. I ended up having to teach myself. He does not teach and gives worksheets on material we don't know and then grades it on accuracy.

He is by far the worst professor I have had at GVSU. He assigns these preview activities on material we haven't even learned and grades it based on accuracy. He gives a lot of busy work and then does not really help when people ask questions. He is also a really tough grader. If you made a tiny mistake, he would mark the whole question wrong.

He marks the entire question wrong if you make the TINIEST mistake and expects you to know everything. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS he makes me feel dumb and does not teach

Worst professor I've ver had. He doesn't teach and just expects you to know how to do everything. He is also an extremely tough grader and grades all homework on accuracy.

DO NOT TAKE HIM. Toughest grader I have ever had in my life. I consider myself to be good at algebra. Normally I get test grades of 85 or higher. In this class I have not gotten over a 70. He does NOT reward you for what you do right, he punishes you for what you do wrong. Be prepared to teach yourself all of the content.

He is horrible. Takes little time to go over material, and tends to skip around a lot on given material overall a bad teacher.

He was one of the worst teachers I have ever had. I had taken algebra as a junior in high school and got an A. I am struggling to keep my C-. I have taught myself ALL of the content. He also will assign homework or assignments very last minute and you wouldn't know unless you check blackboard 4 hours before class. DO NOT TAKE HIM

Terrible! won't help you. nasty to talk to. goes way too fast. assigns work before he has ever mentioned anything about how to do it or what it means but expects you to know how to do it. should no longer be employed. Wish I could give him a zero.

Lot's of webwork assignments which are great for boosting your grade, because his paper assignments are terrible, he grades very picky. This class is very unorganized, and a lot of the stuff he assigns you don't go over in class. If you can, try your best to avoid him if you're not the best at math, otherwise you should be fine for the most part.

Mumbles throughout the entire class and is terrible at teaching. If I could give him a 0, I would. An extremely tough grader/nit picky which is rich considering if we presented the material like he does hed fail us. Only take him if youre out of options.

Gross is an awful professor. I was taking his math class when COVID hit. Even before then, he would come to class expecting you to know everything beforehand. Does not explain or actually teach anything. Hard to understand and get help from. Told me to "get a tutor" when I asked for help. If math isn't your thing, DO NOT take class with him!

Gross is a professor I would not recommend to anyone. His lectures are literally just examples of problems and he does not teach you how to actually do the problems. Almost every time I asked a question he would chuckle and barley helped me. If you can switch out of Gross's class I would highly suggest it.

DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASSES WITH HIM!!!! Professor Gross does not teach effectively. If you ask him a question to get a better understanding of the material, he will just repeat what he said when he taught the lessons. There were often days where we had two in class assignments, a worksheet out of class, along with webwork assignments. Soo much work!!

I will be referring to him as Evan Gross because he does not deserve the title "Professor." I gave him a 1/5 rating simply because 0/5 was not an option. Evan Gross is the biggest disgrace to Grand Valley State University that there has ever been. If you take him expect to teach yourself all the material of the class on your own time.

Every morning I had his class I would rethink my entire existence. The most atrocious course I have ever taken. No organization. Random quizzes on material we have never even learned. Simply terrible. If you have the choice between taking one of his classes, and dropping out of college; I pray to God you drop.

This man has no clue how to teach a class, if you ask a question he will not answer it AT ALL he'll mumble laugh and move on. I would truly rather slam my face on a hot grill than take his class again. worst professor ever

I taught myself everything in this class. Tests are graded very hard. He will dock you down points on grammar when it is a math class. Never gives clear instructions on what we are going over in class. Never actually explains why or how to solve something, just does it. Not very helpful with questions either. and will leave you more confused.

He is not very clear with his work, and you have to teach yourself.

This class was HARD. There was so much homework. The homework was ridiculous because it was on a website where you would have to get the answer exactly correct or you would get no credit for the question. The tests were extremely hard, and the professor did not explain things well. I taught myself pretty much everything. Good Luch if you have him.

Give by far the most hw, does has multiple assignments due twice a week, any little mistake of test will result in full question wrong

grades extremely hard, especially on tests!

i want to sob.

doesnt teach much

Prof. Gross is very smart, however he makes you feel dumb when you ask a question. Exams weigh pretty heavy on your grade and he is not good at answering questions. Overall do not take him.

He doesn't really care and seems like he does NOT want to be there. Was in 110 and he kept acting like all of the subject material was way above his ability and would laugh at or ignore students if they got a question wrong. His lectures were unstructured and he is not an easy guy to talk to since he makes you feel really stupid. Avoid

Professor Gross is probably one of the worst professors I've ever had. He assigns a lot of homework, there is a quiz every week and he is a hard grader for homework and quizzes. He doesn't do a whole lot of teaching. He assigns us busy work in class. When you try to ask a question he will just laugh at you and he will not help you. Do not take

Professor Gross is not a very good teacher, he presents the work and expects you to know it without actually breaking it down. I've also made it known I'm not the best in group teachings because he only puts his focus on the students that know what they are doing. Very specific grader and very nonchalant professor. I wouldn't recommend his classes.

don't take this class, no notes, lots of homework, I cry every week because of this class, do not take.

I cannot fathom how one is paid a 6-digit salary, yet they can't check their email for the entire weekend before a final exam. Regardless, if you took math in high school, you can't possibly finish lower than a C. Easy material, LAZY teacher.

I took College Algebra and his class was only 50 minutes, but he would show up late. Not much was explained in class about different formulas. He'd tell you to read the textbook to teach ourselves on how to do it or some went to tutoring to help but they did not work. I noticed a common comment of how he acts when you ask a question and its true.

It is the first day and im teaching myself how to do my homework because he went over nothing in class. He is already expecting you to know things without ever talking about them. Finding ways to get out of his class.

he does not teach students anything just stares at us thinking we are suppose to already know how to do things. i have to teach myself how to do the work. when asked a question, doesn't go into depth just looks at us blankly. a bunch of quizzes and sometimes random questions he never went over. please do not take. avoid!!!

Be ready to sit in class and learn absolutely nothing. He spends most of the class time going over problems he never taught us to do. I learned about 10% of the class material in class and the rest on the internet by myself. Avoid taking this class at all costs unless you just want to teach yourself the material.
