By his look at first I was worried I was going to get some boring out-of-it teacher. But that was not the case. He somehow makes some of the most boring things interesting and applys them to our everyday lives. Very motivating. He's also very funny.

He tells a lot of stories, but they are all funny and not boring. He gives you 4 tests and they are not too hard but a midterm and final and if you fail all of your tests but get an A on the midterm and final he gives you an A or B in the class. He's easy all you do is take notes and the final and midterm are all on every practice question you do.

Dr. Flemming is really good and funny, he is almost a comedian at times. He places an emphasis on note taking, which he explains much of the class on the chalkboard. He does not use any books very much, but rather his own creative material, and he will give out many pamphlets for you to read and study from for the tests. Very good professor.

As someone who is not interested in social sciences nearly at all, I am so thankful I took his class! His lectures were a great balance of information and personal stories that connected to the topic, and is quite knowledgeable about every topic. And as long as you keep up, the workload is manageable. Will definitely recommend him to my peers!

Took this class almost three years ago and till this day I remember professor Flemming. Literally the best and most memorable professor I had when attending Macomb. The work was so easy and there were no tests at ALL and I still learned a good amount of information from this class. I'm glad to see professor Flemming is still teaching at Macomb.

Flemming is a real teacher who is very hilarious and his workload is very light, the note-taking is a lot but it helps tie it all together. I only dislike that he talks for a very long time. Other than that you must attend class in person because he does not post anything online whatsoever. Overall great guy!

Gary is wild! Rarely have homework, a few questions, and a few reading exams and projects. Easiest class I took all semester. My only advice is to watch your email. He will cancel a class with an hour's notice. He also canceled class as we were walking in.

100% recommend for people to take him. The only thing is that you do have to show up to class, he does not do a n y t h i n g online. That's why I don't know my grade. But, he is an easy grader and understands if you turn something in late. As long as you turn it in. No tests at all besides your final, just journals.

0/10 would not take this class with him as professor again. Makes raunchy and inappropriate jokes, lectures are all over the place, and told us to 'not buy the textbook because it was garbage,' then continued to use the textbook for 5 take-home quizzes. I did not enjoy this class or professor.

Professor Flemming was definitely not what I was expecting. He makes jokes in class tells you a couple stories here and there and is a crazy easy grader. Tests were a breeze and even the final was too. Definitely a class to take if you need to get an A, Make a few friends in class when you miss something because he doesn't post anything online

Had him for INTL 2000. Check with him that you have the right books. I nearly lost 1/6th of my grade because of a vaguely-mentioned novel in the syllabus that we apparently had to read and write a report on. Aside from that, I loved the class. He can be crass, but the man is absolutely brilliant, a wild storyteller, & his lectures are phenomenal!

Hi, I am the one that said I wasn't sure of my grade, I ended up with an A, I now have him again for pol1000. The two differences between these classes is intl you do mainly journalling, no tests except a 10q final. Pols has like 4 take home tests, publicpoll, 10 days of watching news for 15mins each, & final. He gives two weekends for each.

Professor Flemming is a character. He does not use canvas so take good notes. About 7 mandatory questions that are based on what has been gone over. Reading exams are from 40-98 questions all from the textbook. offers quick and easy extra credit assignments. An easy class with a humorous prof. What could be better?

Where do I even start? Professor Flemming is easily my favorite professor I've had at Macomb so far. Took his Latin America class in the fall and totally rearranged my schedule to have him again! He's very lecture heavy but he makes them so fun. Great professor and even better person, would recommend him to anyone.

Flemming gives great lectures and keeps class super entertaining. His stories/real world examples really help you grasp the concept. If you get offended easily, this isn't the proffesor for you, but Flemming really does make it easy to get a good grade. All kinds of extra credit work, etc. He is extremely knowledgeable.

Dr. Flemming is an amazing professor. He is quite overqualified for his position and it shows. Nevertheless, his class is very easy and fun! He is super entertaining to listen to. Just keep in mind that nothing is online. He does not post anything on canvas so you have to show up and take good notes.

Professor Flemming is an extremely knowledgeable and easygoing professor. His classes are based almost entirely on lectures, with journal papers and other easy assignments spread throughout. Be warned that he does not post on Canvas AT ALL; he didn't even open up the class for us. Come in-person and listen to his lectures and you'll do fine.

During class it was pretty much just lectures. Then a paper would be given and you could just base them off the notes you took in class and you would get a 100%. Lots of extra credit assignments plus normal assignments just stay on track and this class is easy. He tells a lot of stories to the lectures aren't that boring. 10/5 would recommend. :)

Mr. Flemming when I had him for political science was literally perfect. He offers so much extra credit that its nearly impossible to fail. He'll also mention he has the highest grade point average out of everyone at macomb and its easy too see why!! His lectures are amazing if you actually pay a little bit of attention here and there.

Great professor overall, very kind and fun to be around. However one issue is the lack of technology use as he didn't have a canvas page which made grades and due dates harder to track. Also liked to cancel class regularly which can cause some confusion if you had questions about something as he doesn't respond to Emails. Otherwise he was great.

Professor Flemming for me is one of the most memorable and impactful teachers i have had. He was hilarious, did not make poltical opinions, and stayed on subject while sharing his life and backround. I learned a lot with him and would take him again in a heartbeat. He made the subject so interesting and is what a teacher should be.

Super nice and understanding guy. He gives you time to submit assignments if they are late and gives out lots of extra credit. As long as you show up and do the work (which isn't a lot) you will do great. You can tell he wants you to learn and cares for his students. 10/10 would recommend!

Took his class last year. Love this guy he is super sweet, and his assignments are not hard but slightly time consuming. Super sweet and even had a whole conversation about test anxiety with him. All of the assignments were take home and he was lenient with late work but you do get slightly penalized for it. Overall take his class!

Professor Flemming is a very nice guy and is very lenient on all of the assignments. The class is very easy however sometimes the work can be disorganized and can cause confusion because most of the assignments (besides the reading exams) do not have a strict due date. Other than that I would take a class of his again

This was the easiest class ever. There's soo much extra credit, but you have to be in class to get it. He doesn't use canvas at all so u don't know what ur grade is, but u can ask. Everything is clearly stated & hands out all the big assignments to u on the first day. DONT buy the book. We didn't use it. Do ur HW ASAP or it will be overwhelming
