I thought he was very funny! I had him for a night class.
No Comments
273 was a little harder, but he is the best teacher at Macomb. Very funny.
What a great professor!!! Very organized, very clear on the subject and he's a funny guy!!
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.
Funniest teacher, so much fun and easy to learn from. Tells lots of family stories. Makes you write essays but you can return them until they are correct. Because of my hard work and another girls' we each did not have to take the final exam. Coolest guy.
VERY CLEAR. MAKES THE INFORMATION FUN AND EASY TO LEARN AND UNDERSTAND.
Best professor ive ever had in my life
THE best teacher i have ever had. he takes something that is as boring as politics, and explains how it works using everyday events in our lives, such as using times when he was at McDonald's yelling at the kids in front of him to teach Constitution
Professor Flemming is an excellent teacher. I was amazed how he could take a topic that would seem so drab and make it fun to learn about. I strongly encourage all future political science students to take a class that Dr. Flemming teaches.
funny guy! makes class interesting and very easy if you get a d then a c then another c but on the exam you get an A thats what your final grade is!
One of the best teachers i have ever had. I will for sure take his other classes.
Best teacher ever! If you can take a class with him, do it. One of the only classes that I always looked forward to.
The thought of political science made me want to skip school. However, this class turned out to be one of my favorites! He made the class interesting and fun and gave you every chance to earn an A. DEFINATELY take this class with this prof!
Very funny.
Flemming is a great professor. Even if you dont like politics he will keep you interested. The tests were very easy if you go to class and answer the practice questions. I never opened the book once.
This teacher singlehandedly inspired me to get into Political Science. In what is probably the best class I have ever taken, Dr. Flemming takes on the government & media while taking no prisoners. Whether you are to the right or left, you will enjoy this course.
Thanks to this man I have traveled to Germany and had foriegn exchanges students stay at my house. He is the BEST BEST BEST professor you can get at Macomb.. I was scared his first class and then I realized he is a great person and funny and caring... and his stories are the best!!!
fLEMMING IS PRECISE AND PATIENT. HE IS VERY GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES AND WE COULD ALL ONLY HOPE TO GET MORE TEACHERS LIKE HIM. I EFFORTLESSLY LEARN MORE IN THIS CLASS THAN HOURS AND HOURS OF STUDYING IN OTHERS
this guy was the best teacher i ever had n college.im n my final year at wyane and know one compares thto this guy.this guys is awesome.
Professor Flemming is an excellent teacaher. He is very good at explaing politics in society and has a very interesting class. I would totally recommend him for any class he teaches. He is also hillarious!
best teacher ever!
this guy is the coolest teacher at macomb if not anywhere else...explains things so clear and is just a really kool guy
Professor Flemming is the best professor I have ever had. I would recommeded Professor Flemming to anyone who has to take any POLS class. He is the funniest and collest professor. He tells his stories that relates to the material.
I haven't even finished his class, and I'm already rating him. Dr. Flemming is a wonderful professor. I am someone who hates politics but am looking really forward to the rest of the semester. I highly recommend him for Political Science, you definetly learn alot from him!
Flemming is wonderful. He is funny and able to teach in a way that makes class fly by and makes you learn it all without even trying... it feels like you are sitting around and hanging out while subconciously learning at the same time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
He is the coolest teacher ever! He explains things very well and is absolutely hysterical!
The best teacher that I've ever had. He's interesting, funny, fair, and down to earth.
YOUR THE MAN FLEM-DOG!! I love when he clears his throat followed by his famous "alllllright" He is the funniest guy in the world! Keep ****in in that ESCORT!!!
TAKE THIS CLASS!!! NUFF SAID
Dr. Flemming is an excellent teacher and person. He structures his class so that the majority of students can pull off an A (of course, you have to do the work), but you can redo for full points. He really is awesome!
Flemming was the best teacher as far as getting students interested in something they might shrug off otherwise. He made his lectures relative to real life and he is also a stand up comedian.
This guy really cares about his students alot. He made this class easy, almost too easy. I must say I didn't learn a whole lot, but I did learn, and I really enjoyed the class. The guy is filled with halarious stories. He difinitely made the class a good one.
This guy is awesome. If you love to debate and talk about the latest issues in world politics, this class is a must. He is the best teacher. he makes the course seem easy and so are his essay questions and tests. Dot slack off study and he is the prof for politics
One of the best teachers that I have ever had. The class if fun entertaining, and keeps you interested. A class that you must take.
I have had three semesters with Dr. Flemming! He makes me want to learn more and more with each class!! Take as many classes with him as you can. You will learn things that pertain to your everyday life!! HE is awesome!! Macomb needs more teachers like him
He will go off on what seems to be an irrevelant family story, and when you least expect it, bam! it ties in perfectly with the lesson plan. Could do stand up comedy. Could run for president. He is too honest though. VOTE GARY FLEMMING for roseville board of education.
He is funny enough to do standup comedy. Tells family stories that ALWAYS tie into his lessons. Not many assignments, but when you do, you can re-do them for full points. Writes all the notes on the board. I was never intested in polsci, but he makes me WANT to go to class. He's the best. Take him as often as possible! TWO THUMBS WAY UP!
The best teacher that you can posibiley could have
mr flemming is the****, hes so so cool and funny as hell this is one class u will never miss, the way he ties his family stories with polsci are amazeing the best teacher in the world, he looks like elton john cross bread with robbin willlams awasome teacher
This teacher is so funny you’ll piss your pants. His class is easy, as long as you do all the work, the papers are simple a second grader can do them. This guy cracks jokes every minute and trust me he is funny. Before I took his class I looked him up on this website and all these comments are true. Best teacher in Macomb.
He is a good teacher. You can tell he doesnt have a girlfriend from his stories, but that's irrelevant with his teaching style. Like i said, he's a good teacher. Easy, but you still learn. Funny, too. No movies, easy papers, and take home tests. Go for the gold.
Dr. Flemmings style of teaching makes learning fun! I love his Politics in Film class! If you want to learn and have fun doing it, take this class. I recommend this class to everyone!!!!
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.
I took two of classes when I was in high school. He treated me very well and his classes were awesome. His lectures made me want to come to class.
Has very interesting and funny stories, but he ties them into what your learning. I highly recommend this teacher for political science.
He was a good teacher. He keeps you interested and the class is always fun.
Just the kind of prof I needed for a subject that is slightly boring to me! Notes are hard to read at best, but he explains things well, with humor, and plenty of life-stories. Homework isn't always in whatever addition of the book you happen to use, but it doesnt really matter...midterm and final are essays and not that bad...
omg wow seriously save your money don't take this class... sooo boring.. he is always making coments on religion and goes off topic... class is also confussing...
he was a great professor! if u need to take the class make sure u take it with flemming not rishel. hes always has great story to relate to thing to make you understand! def. not a waste of money! :)
He's the funniest prof. i've ever had. He had all of laughing our butts off. His lectures are interesting and he always let's you go early. The time passes by really fast.
I spent a lifetime with virtually no understanding of politics, government, etc. After just a few weeks in Dr. Flemming's class however, I not only understood, I found myself thirsting for more knowledge and studying the areas he taught on, on a deeper level. Professor Flemming is an awesome instructor. His method of presentin
i had prof flemming for pols1000 and now intl 2000. i think he is a wonderful teacher, very much into learning not so much grades. he says noone will fail his class if he can help it. he makes a class that i would consider boring interesting and tells a lot of stories and goes on many rants. funny guy and i'd def recommend.
He's a great teacher and knows a lot about what he's talking about. He kept class interesting and he's a really funny guy. Sarcastic and cynical. I'd recommend him!
Wonderful stories, great anecdotes, a dry sense of humor that kept me entertained
This guy is the best !!!! funny as hell
good teacher, really funny and easy grader
Best professor ever. He made me want to come to class. He mixes humor a lot into his lectures. :)
He does everything possible to pass you with a high grade, however, you do have to do the work. Class is interesting and very doable. Highly recommend Dr. Fleming.
THE CLASS WAS MUSIC, ART AND FILM. THIS PROF IS SERIOUSLY THE REASON WHY I CAME TO CLASS. HE'S FUNNY AS EVER, LOVES TO HELP HIS STUDENTS AND MOST OF ALL THE CLASS DISCUSSIONS ARE TOPICS OF WHATEVERS ON YOUR MIND. YOU'D BE A FOOL NOT TO ATTEND CLASS. HE WAS WORTH MY HALF HOUR TRIP DEFINITELY WILL RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!!
This is the second time I have had him, I am going to take every class he offers he is funny very smart and takes such a complicated thing like politics and breaks it down so you could explain it to a two year old- great class
Dr. Flemming is very intelligent, but down to Earth. He was able to tie the class info to today's world with extra insights and kept the class very interesting. Take his class, but don't procrastinate on the homework! You will leave the class having learned something!
Easily one of the best proffessors ive had at macomb Flemming Rules
I took Dr. Flemming's Intro to Latin America class and I absolutely loved it. I had no interest in the subject before taking his class, but he is very intelligent and passionate about what he teaches. He has a dry sense of humor that could either be taken as funny or offensive. Attendance isn't mandatory but I wouldn't reccommend missing class.
Dr Flemming is awesome. i loved his sense of humor, he cracked me up all the time!! definitely a dry sense of humor. his class is extremely easy, and interesting! nice guy!
Prof. Flemming is the best professor I've ever had at Macomb. He's absolutely hysterical and informative. I LOVE HIM.
Prof.Flemming makes a dry subject interesting and worth learning. He is highly knowledgeable and applies his lectures to everyday life. He has a dry sense of humor but is funnier than ****! Don't waste your time buying the text, but attend class and work on the practice questions early. Exams are 8 essays but on broad/general topics. Attend class a
Professor Flemming does a great job running his class and connecting with his students. Made me look forward to attending class when I had no interest in the material beforehand. As long as you make an effort to show up you should do well.
Wonderful professor and great guy in general. I've taken two classes with him so far and look forward to taking more.
Gary changed my entire way of thinking. He made life very easy by connecting many loose dots. Brilliant man, spectacular linguist.
Interesting class. Attendance is a must to take notes that you need for his tests. As long as you get the gist of the information you'll get an A. Very nice teacher.
Absolutely one of the best teachers at Macomb, i recommend that if you happen to need a class that he teaches, TAKE HIM, he makes everything so easy to understand
I hope he is still teaching or at least has a fat bonus...hint hint MCC. I enjoyed that I never felt like I was being indoctinated, my thoughts were valued, and I always left his class feeling fully entertained and vested in what I was learning.My fav part of the class to this day though.. when he'd walk across the room to his "opinion corner"
I really liked this class, very easy as long as you do all of your work. Very easy to follow and learn even if you dont know anything about the subject.
One of the best professors I've ever had. Praises good students. He's constantly on the real. His mind & experiences are a bottomless well of information. Very interesting man and FABULOUS teacher (crystal clear). Every class is entertaining - he tells utterly hilarious stories. I wish I could take all my classes with him! This guy knows his stuff.
An amazing teacher! He could teach a class about about the most boring subject imaginable and make it interesting.He is very knowledgeable,and hysterically funny. Random stories tie in perfectly to make a point-and-he didn't have us buy any textbooks! He tells it like it is. take any class of his that you can.
When Dr Flemming said in the first day of class that the students are privileged and we should be honored to 'bask in his presence'....HE WAS RIGHT! He definitely knows what and how to teach the class! I had perfect attendance, not because it was required, but did not want to miss ANY of his classes! You'll def like his courses! Great job Dr Gary!!
Best professor I had! Love his traveling stories! Hint to MCC: you better keep this guy and hopefully properly compensate him accordingly because this guy definitely makes a great impact on learning! Tells it like it is! If ANYone failed his course, it surely was their own doing! Wish I could take more of his classes!
I have no words for this man. He is simply the greatest. Do not even think twice if you should register for his class, you should just do it, that's all the explaining you need, trust me. He is helpful, funny, amazing, talkative, and of course very VALUABLE!! He is the best, register now!
I had him for intro to Russia, best teacher ever!!! on the first day he will come off as a prick, but I promise by the second day you will love him. You don't need the book, and he will tell you not to buy the book. the few assignments are easy. the final is exactly what he says will be [the practice questions he gives you]
Best Professor I have had so far. Class is so interesting, you don't want to miss it. I would take any class that Dr Flemming taught. If you are having a hard time understanding something, he will personally help you. Such a good teacher that I am even considering changing majors!
He was a very good teacher that knows what he's talking about, and loves what he does. I thought that the class was going to be much different than what it really was, but it's still interesting. People told me that he played favorites, but I was so intruiged, I didnt pay attention to that. Also, when the lectures got dry he would pull a joke...
I took him for world politics - I got an A. I enjoyed the course and had enough extra credit that I didn't even have to write the 10 page paper. He grades easy, he's funny and makes a subject like this interesting and relatable.
Good professor. I liked how he always used real life examples/stories to refer to the material we were learning, it makes learning alot easier. His stories sometimes become so funny, I could'nt help but bust out laughing. The exams were a little challenging, but do the practice questions and the extra credit and your be fine. HIGHLY RECOMENDED.
I had Professor Flemming for International Studies - Latin America. He is one of the greatest teachers I have ever had. His teaching style captivates the classroom. Never a dull or boring moment in his class. He is very funny and keeps class fresh. Also he is extremely helpful. Take his class and you will be very satisfied.
READ THIS I have taken every class this professor has. He is by far a prof. you MUST Take! INCREDIBLE teacher, human being! Do not be alarmed by first day he is the greatest help. From novice to history/social science or poltiical science buffs you will NOT be disappointed. PLUS, he is funny and will NEVER cease to entertain. A++ teacher
Dr. Flemming is HILARIOUS! Class grade consists of practice questions, 2 essay exams, and a 10 page paper. Exams aren't hard, but not easy. As long as you study from your practice questions and study your notes, you'll do fine. If you fail an exam, all the extra credit he offers can make up for it. If you do all the work, you'll get an A.
Let me tell you about this guy... BEST TEACHER EVER! Laid back and really funny. He does everything to help your grade grow and grow higher.
Very thorough professor. He's to the point but very nice about it! Class is awesome and very easy work. Actually teaches concepts that are easy to understand and apply to real life. I would recommend this teacher to anyone looking to broaden their world view!
GREAT PROFESSOR! He tells the best stories, and makes you laugh through out class. If you ever need help, or dont understand something, he is willing to help. He if just Wonderful. I would like to take another one of his classes.
best teacher at macomb! funny, interesting, not to hard if you do the work, and teaches you things that're useful in real life
Professor Flemming is the biggest boss at Macomb - NOBODY can touch him. He's hilarious, to the point, caring about his students, and offers enough extra credit that you'd have to be a complete fool to fail his class.
Edward Gary Flemming is teaching boom!
HE is freaking HILARIOUS!,make sure u turn da journals and Articles fast , cs he returns it for better grade as long he gives u full credit for it,it dont matter how many he gives it back to u!until a period. Js for good grade! and FINALS Are the same questions he Gives in Class throught the semester!
A teacher who gets the point across with a sense of humor. Do all your papers & some extra credit for a great grade. Really enjoyed his teaching style & wish I had to take him again. Take him & you will really enjoy the class. Highly recommend!
PHENOMENAL teacher. I looked forward to his class every week. Down to earth and very very helpful and extremely intellectual and cultured. He tells it like it is and he's absolutely HILARIOUS! He tells very entertaining stories that always pertain back to the material and brings complexity to simplicity. You will not regret taking a class of his!!
I would have to express that Dr. Flemming is one of the main reasons I am becoming a History Professor. I just hope I can reach his level, but I know I will... Thanks.
I love this professor:) He's super interesting and super informative. He's got a great sense of humor and off the wall, you will laugh alot! Do you the assignments when given so you don't get backed up. Great class, I will miss it!
Dr. Flemming is seriously the best thing that has and will happen to Macomb. You will laugh every day and learn things you never knew before. He tells the greatest stories that always relate to the topic of the day. He is AWESOME! We never opened the book though its all note taking but well worth it! TAKE HIM!!!
He is amazing!! This was the best class ever! Didnt use the book. Class was fun! TAKE HIM!!
2nd time having Gary as a Professor. Gary is one the best professors I had at MCC within the 3years of being there. Relates everything to real life examples, which is a great way to easily learn subjects. The class was straight forward, and had no surprises. Overall a great professor, who really does do his job perfectly.
Great professor! Take him! Very helpful. :)
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.
Great teacher, very funny, & very interesting!
Great teacher. Couldn't stop laughing when he would go off on how great Germany is. Wish I recorded the class and posted on YouTube so everyone else could hear it...
Dr. Flemming is so MONEY! Seriously he goes down in the books as my absolute favorite instructor at MCC and the other colleges I've attended. Funny, informative, entertaining... his stories and anecdotes shared in class are unparalleled. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
I would love to hang out with this guy and pick his brain. He is way too smart to b at macomb, but hes such a good guy he wants to improve his community that he lived in his whole life. He will come straight out & say hes smarter than u & he is. GREAT TEACHER!FUN CLASS!& btw he's had highest GPA avg for his students for 20 years at Macomb.Amazing
My FAVORITE professor of all time! Highly educated, intelligent as hell and FRIGGEN HILARIOUS! Every class period was like going to a stand up comedy except you're actually learning something useful. Piece of advice though, DO YOUR WORK ASAP. If u procrastinate, it will build up cause his deadlines are at the end of the semester. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
I took his politics in film and international politics class a few years ago. I'm now a political science major (thanks to him)at Oakland University, and he is actually better and much more knowledgeable than the political science professors at Oakland. I owe him a lot! Thanks Dr. Flemming!
so awesome and his class is so much fun I'm going to take his INTL POL class for fun, dont even need it for my degree.Sometimes ur fortunate enough to meet someone that u can utilize as an assett for the rest of your life.I got lucky and found 1 of those people.Go through the ratings and youll see everyone loves him,but u have 2 b there 2 c...WOW
This class was very informative. Dr. Flemming offered an enormous amount of information and it's amazing how so much information can be rendered and easily retained in such little time. He makes class fun and interesting.
Mr. Flemming is the best! Very smart and funny man. If you have any concerns he will help you with them. My best advise: take a few of his classes! Oh! And he does not use books, thats always a plus!
TERRIFIC teacher! Dr. Gary is one of the smartest, most thoughtful and interesting professors I've had early on in my college career; and I have a feeling he will be difficult to replace. Diligent note-taking and keen listening skills are important to your success in this class, but he genuinely WANTS the students to succeed. Great guy!
Amazing Teacher! Very funny guy. Highly recommend his class, he connects it to the students and makes it interesting.
I am glad I took Professor's INTL class because not only is his class fun and not too hard when he makes funny jokes but as a Professor he is highly knowledgeable. I advice you to take his class because you will not regret. All you have to do are the journals, practice questions,book report, interaction papers and a final exam.
Excellent professor with impressive knowledge. Keeps lecture extremely interesting .I would highly recommend taking this class.
Dr Flemming is great. Probably the best and most educated professor at Macomb. Hes funny and knows his subject well. He lets you rewrite your work if you turn it in early, and he grades by points. You can only go up in your grade. Do all the extra credit and you wont even have to worry about the final. I didnt open the book so dont bother buying.
Great teacher! Very funny and enthustiastic. I did all of the extra credit opposed to the written journals and still received an A. I love how he took us out of class for more interests and showed different things. Definitely would recommend him!
pretty cool professor. a lot of great stories to go along with his lectures. you can do the journals, practice questions, interactive papers and the extra to get an A. It doesn't even matter if you blow the final. He only adds up points out of 200.
Great professor, great stories that tie along with the subject being taught. Wish more professors at MCC taught like him.
It's a very easy class and he's a very funny guy but I thought that he didn't discuss the topics enough. The class was about Eastern Europe and he talked about Michigan as a Wally to relate better but just kinda lost track. If you want an easy A, take him but dont expect to learn to much about the subject the class is on
Dr. Flemming is a great teacher! He is very inteligent and knows his stuff. Funny and cultured.
Pretty funny guy. Classwork/homework is super easy and if you turn it in early he offers rewrites. Its pretty impossible to fail if you turn in all the work!
Absolutely loved his class! Does not punish you if you miss a class. Very fexiable, out to help students. Did not use textbooks. Helps you with exam questions before giving exam. Wish he taught more classes at MCC.
AMAZING CLASSPROFESSOR! Makes everything so easy to understand. Attendance is extra credit, and only one test. Never used the book! He always related everything to real life. I had no interest in Latin America until I took this class.
Easy glass, great teacher, very fun, easy grader, easy class to get an A. Take! If you do take this class with Flemming, do not buy the book!!!!
I'd probably go to the bar with this guy on the weekends, super cool. Lectures are helpful for everyday life. Just wants you to be successful as an individual. Class wise. Show up show effort. Whole class is extra credit. Would take him again any subject.
very nice person and I love to take another class with him
Absolutely enjoyed his class. Lectures were clear and he gave very good examples so the class could understand his point. Down to Earth and funny professor! No need for a text book. I recommend him to anyone really. He is the best professor I had by far since being in college.
HAHAHAHA -- That's what you will be doing during his lecture, while learning something at the same time! I HIGHLY recommend this teacher. He seamlessly integrates real life experience with the subject matter, I don't know where he gets these stories and how he presents them with such fluidity, he is a story teller AND an excellent teacher!
Extremely funny; Makes the subject interesting - He enjoys teaching, and you can tell.
He has a different style of notes that you have to get used to, but other than that he is a good professor. Keep up with the practice questions and you will be fine.
Makes the class interesting, tells lots of funny stories that actually have to do with topic. Relates class to real life. Favorite professor so far.
Flemming is an awesome professor, i had absolutely no interest in this class and he was able to make me show up everyday and enjoy his lectures. He is hilarious and the grading criteria is made clear. There is barely anything assigned and as long as you put sometype of effort into his papers he will give you full credit. Take him if you want 2 pass
Clear and to the point. He gives a lot of handout that you should read. Be ready for a lot of notes but they will help you in the end. There will be a lot of typing and papers to turn in but you have a lot of time to do them. Also he is very forgiving when it comes to late assignments but don't abuse his forgiveness. Great class would take again
Awesome human being. So glad I took his class. Not only did I learn a whole lot about Russia, but also about being a kind person.
Dr. Flemming was such an amazing teacher, humble and funny. By far one of the best professor i've ever had. If you take him in the Fall DO THE EXTRA CREDIT during the "day of the dead" week. This plus the extra credit he gives out in class will benefit you!! I SWEAR!! Only book you need to buy is the "Garcia Girls" DONT BUY THE OTHER ONE!!
This guy was brilliant! His lectures were clear and concise. He used so many hilarious examples for us to relate to. After this class I feel much more aware about international relations.
Most AMAZING professor I've ever had. It's a shame he doesn't teach more classes. Do yourself a favor and TAKE HIS CLASS. His lectures are HILARIOUS but still educational and content is understood. Did have to read a book and do a paper on it. Prepares well for any tests or exams. He wants his students to succeed. Do your work and you'll be fine
the best teacher i have had at Macomb. Hands down you need to take this teacher. stop thinking about it and just do it.
I've taken Mr. Flemming for 3 pols courses and counting. His class is very easy-going, basically he lectures and you take notes and participate (or just listen). His homework/essays are easy, he gives you plenty of time to turn them in plus rewrites if you turn them in early! Funny guy, who knows what he's talking about. Recommend!
He so funny and keeps you awake during class. Such an amazing professor, one of the best I've had. His tests and essays are easy, and he is an easy grader and offers rewrites if you turn things in early. Take his class, you will not regret it. Work your entire schedule around his class if you have to. Trust me.
The best professor I've had. One of my role models and inspirations to achieve my academic goals. Would recommend to anyone looking for a real personal interaction instead of a bland run-of-a-mill college experience.
Flemming for President! He's really funny and keeps you engaged through the class session. I took a lot away from this class that I can apply to the rest of my life. He gives you re-writes to get a higher score on assignments. He also gives extra credit. His style of note taking is different but you'll get used to it. Overall he's awesome!
One of my favorite professors at mcc. He is beyond hilarious for his age and the class is very laid back.
Absolutely Great Professor! Very detailed. Gives lots of Extra Credit opportunities. Don't miss classes, gives several questions that must be answered for credit. Go to class, turn in homework and its an easy "A"! Very laid back! But excellently presented material! Would take him again!
I never read the textbook. Prof is funny, sarcastic, and writes what he talks about on the whiteboard. Work consists of 10 paragraphs on different topics (5 points each), 2 videos in class w/ fill-out sheets about them (20 points each), one book report on the Garcia Girls (get from library), and one final exam. Prof gives lots of extra credit.
Mr. Flemming was awesome!!!! Very reasonable work load, don't need to read the text book, and always was available for questions. Awesome professor. If you do all your work, you will be guaranteed an A. He is also very funny.
I've never had a professor like this guy. He makes showing up to class enjoyable. His lectures can be lengthy at times but he keeps you interested. Hes hilarious and with little work required, I recommend him!
I've had Dr. Flemming for both INTL to Latin America and for Russia & East/Central Europe. To keep it short, I'm sad that he doesn't teach any other classes. 100% recommend this professor.
Professor Flemming is such an amazing professor. Unlike other classes, he actually wants you to LEARN. The way he teaches, makes you enjoy class and actually learn something. Put it this way, I took this class at night with attendance not mandatory and I never missed a class.. I actually enjoyed going. He teaches so many valuable life lessons too!
I love this professor. You will learn a lot, and his papers are easy. No test or scranton's needed.
The best professor Ive ever had. I wish he teaches more classes. He makes showing up to class enjoyable. 100% recommend him for anyone
At first I did not like this professor at all, but a few weeks into class he became my favorite professor. I loved his personal stories and the illustrations he used to bring home the major points in his lecture. He gives plenty of opportunities to earn EC too! You can tell he really enjoys teaching and wants his students to learn.
He's a bit intense, but I would highly recommend Professor Flemming. I didn't like him much at first, but he grew on me. He says and does so many funny things. The class covers lots of important, useful topics. There's lots of writing, especially if you do all the extra credit work. Some of the required work doesn't have a set date in the syllabus.
Dr. Flemming is awesome! There is only one exam. There are 5 mandatory journals that you can answer by taking good notes. He gives a lot of extra credit but it will only be applied if you've turned in all of the assignments. There is a book for the course but he doesn't use it. There is one book report paper, and 10 practice questions.
Professor Flemming is hilarious and nice! He always makes his lectures funny while at the same time informational. His class is set up so you actually learn information. Do all his assignments and put in some effort and you will succeed in this class! No tests, other than the final exam! Offers a bunch of extra credit. Glad I took him!
Awesome person and an absolute genius. He is super funny and his lectures are really interesting. You get points for just showing up to class.
Excellent professor. Students will learn content along with life skills. He has a lot to share. Definitely would take him again.
Great professor! I wish there were more classes I could take with him!
My favorite professor hands down. It took me a week or two to figure out how his note taking skills were, but in all honesty hes the best one there yet! I hope he never retires and he deserves all of the credit he gives for neing so amazing, I have seriously learned so many thing from him. You won't regret taking him, just do it!
Professor Flemming is a great and funny teacher. As long as you show up to class and pay attention to the lectures and take notes, the class should be easy to pass.
All I can say its was my biggest mistake to take class with him.
This professor it okay But I won't take him again to be honest.
AMAZING professor! One of my all time favorite professors. He's so intelligent and makes the class very interesting. Love his sense of humor
By far the best professor I have ever had! As long as you show up for class you are guaranteed to get a good grade! He makes every lecture interesting! I wish I could take him for ALL of my classes. For those who have said he's awful, maybe its you.....
All assignments and homework are due at the end of each lesson. But do not wait until the last minute before it is do or it will all add up and you will get screwed. Lots of extra credit is offered and if you turn an assignment in early before the due date you will have the chance to fix it and re write it, gives good feedback on papers.
Class was easy and professor too but make sure you do the work on time. Don't wait until last min it won't help you. There is tons of of extra credit which helps me lot.
Overall, he's just a great teacher. Very understanding and caring and his lectures are pretty easy to sit through because he makes them interesting. Plus professor Flemming has a great sense of humor which is always great to have in a classroom.
Gary is really great and really wants you to learn. He loves participation and when he notices that you're understanding the material. His lectures are put in a way that you can easily grasp. If you do the assignments, you get an A. There are so many opportunities for extra credit, my classmate got 75 points just there. Take him!
Professor Flemming is an amazing professor to have. He really cares about getting students their education and wants thrm to pass. He will really go in detail on the different things he teaches us about. He is the most funny guy at Macomb with his funny stories that have to do with what we are learning. Im planning on taking him again.
Great Professor. It makes the lectures interesting and tells funny stories. Easy grader, i waiting to the last minute to turn everything in which I dont recommend but it wasnt too bad
Hilarious and would take again. You're graded by very few things and he doesn't give a lot of direction, but as long as you do the assignments and try, you'll pass. No powerpoints, he writes on the board, and has amazing stories. For INTL 2000, he did a mock altar for Day of the Dead. Class is really interesting. Do yourself a favor and take him.
Best professor Ive ever had. I look forward to going to his lectures every week, and he often talks about his personal stories too which tend to be hilarious. At first I thought he was going to be a grumpy old professor but hes actually in tune with his students. Its a shame Im transferring because I would take any class he teaches in heartbeat
interesting guy. dont take him if u get offened easy. fair amount of work. gives extra credit. dont skip or you will fail.
Best professor you could ever have. Hes what every professor should be. Hes incredibly knowledgeable on all subjects, and I was surprised to learn he went to Georgetown. His lectures are very authentic, and hell incorporate a lot of his own stories into the lesson. Hes down-to-earth and outright hilarious with old-school humor.
Professor Flemming is beyond awesome. So understanding and extremely smart. Makes the class fun and hes hilarious, just a total icon. Definitely the first professor Id recommend to anyone. Work is crazy easy and not a single test, yet you still learn a lot in there. Wish every professor was like him. A LITERAL LEGEND.
His lectures are incredibly engaging and insightful, and he always makes great connections between different topics. However, while this isn't "bad" per se, he doesn't really do anything digitally. There also isn't a textbook because he, quote, "hasn't written one yet," so make sure to borrow someone else's notes if you miss a class.
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.
He's a super entertaining and knowledgeable guy. He knows exactly how to teach and keep the stuff you learned in your brain. The homework is very easy. He doesn't use any computer stuff or online tools, just paper. I highly recommend if you are looking for a class that is fun and simple.
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.
Professor Flemming was awesome! He knows how to keep the class entertained through his lectures! You will have 5 journals and 5 mandatory questions based on lectures! Plus 1 book report on the Garcia girls and a boat load of extra credit! EVERYTHING must be turned in for the extra credit to count at the end!
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.
The class was amazing. All the work was easy enough, he was funny and fun to listen to. We often got out early, my favorite professor so far.
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.
Professor Flemming is the best professor I have ever had. His class is very straight-forward and easy to succeed in. He truly wants students to succeed and perform well in his class and schooling in the future.
Funny very easy going and great teacher one of my favorite professors ive ever taken
He's funny and chill
Funny and really knows what he's talking about. Professor Flemming gave all the resources possible to make the class easy and understandable. Enjoyable lectures too!
In an intro to latin American class it has taken us 3 weeks to start talking about latin America is lectures drag on cause he gets off topic talking about how he got chick pocks instead of the material he also refuses to use canvas making it extremely hard to keep track of assignments also makes very inappropriate and sexual jokes
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.
Does not post grades. He gives you your papers with the score and a paper to write your score down. Does not post anything online. Overall a good class and a good professor. Lots of extra credit.
You changed my life, thank you for all of the lessons you have taught me in your INTL 2000 class.
Professor Flemming is an amazing teacher! His class is mostly lectures, but he's funny and keeps it interesting. Do the assignments and some extra credit, and you'll be in a great spot for an A. He doesn't use Canvas—everything is on paper—but it's manageable. I'd definitely take him again!
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
