My opinion of my professor was good he was caring, he had us do a lot of group work which I like and he also. Gives extra credit.. He is awesome
Professor Greiss really cares about his students if you do your part you will pass he always finds a way to help you get extra credit. I would love to take him again. If your not good at math take this class.
He is very, funny, nice, and caring about every student. Makes sure all questions are answered. Show up, show work and try your best!
Hes very caring, and very helpful. He will always try to help you in class, and sometimes hell make us work in groups and I find that very helpful.
The profesor is a bit hard to understand but he works with you if you are falling behind. He explains well the material.
The best professor that I ever had in math, really went through everything with the class and always able to help.
Professor Hany is just awesome. He is always willing to help you all the time; I would like to take another math class with him. I learned a lot from him.
Professor Greiss is a really good professor and assist with explaining and giving answers to all of my questions. I love his class
Cool professor! Very nice and easy class. Take him and you won't regret!
Professor Greiss is amazing. He explains everything, and if you don't understand something, he will take the time to help you. 100% I will take another class with him.
Very nice to everyone, wants you to succeed
I love this professor. He explains things very thoroughly and is amazing!
He is really fantastic. He wants the students to pass and learn the material.
You get to do group work and be sure to try to ask for help. Be sure to read the book and learn from them. It was a tough for me when I couldn't figure out atiff
Group method is helpful
Very great professor, unorthodox teaching method, however it can be effective, very engaging, and inspirational for the students.
Professor Greiss is one of the best professors I have had at Valencia. Let's you retake test, and is very caring. Has an accent, but will repeat if you ask. If you are taking a math class and he is teaching TAKE HIM! Also I took him for trig.
Professor Greiss is exceptional! He made me realize I have been taught math incorrectly my whole life. He made a three hour Saturday morning class enjoyable. He is very engaging with students and always takes his time to help if a student doesn't understand. He wants his students to learn and pass. oh and NO texting in his class. Great Professor!
Prof. Greiss is the best professor I have ever had in Valencia. He will not give up on his students. Always make sure that they understand the equation or math problems. Always ready to help. Highly rrecommend!!!
Professor Hany is a type of person that cares about his students. At first, his way of teaching might be a little bit challenging but you will get a hang of it if you pay attention. This Professor does not teach just to have students make a good grade, but also he wants you to have a good comprehension of the subject.
Professor Hany is one of the best professors I ever had at Valencia! He explains in a different way the methods but is easier than you think. He wants all his students to learn how to think mathematically. Is not an easy class, you have to work for your grade but He's so helpful. If you are not good with numbers he's the one!
He is caring and very willing to help. We mostly do work in the classroom and he does encourage participation. What he focuses on is teaching math skills so we could learn not only in other math courses but our day to day life. Math is not my favorite subject, but he made me look forward to class. Awesome professor! Definitely recommend.
I'm a dual enrollment student who is currently a senior in high school, so his teaching is not the same or even close to how high school is. His personality is cool when it comes to him telling jokes and talking to you 1 on 1, but his accent makes it a little to understand him. You can ask him to repeat something and he will do it with no problem.
Pro. Greiss is the best professor I have ever met. He is really an amazing, helpful, and organize teacher. I will definitely take another class with him if he teaches statistics. He cares a lot about his students, and he allows any students to make up work. He let any student who didn't get a good grade on the test to re take the test.
Prof. Greiss is exceptional!! He wants to see you succeed and makes himself available outside class hours. He is willing to teach you material until you fully understand. You will not be disappointed, register now. If you fail its because you did not try. I wish that all professors was like Prof. Greiss.
I love this professor! So caring and helpful! Very easy class! Just a few tests and he gives you guides to prepare for exams and tests, that makes tests very easy. you know what to study. Even if you hate math and you are bad in it, you will pass his class for sure!
This is my second time taking this professor and just like the first time, he is super! If you ask the questions, he will give you the answers. he is very sociable and uses terms and comparisons to help you learn and retain the information.
Professor Griess is one of my favorites and I can't wait to take him again. He really cares about the students and is willing to come early and stay late until you understand. He gives each student the ability to pass his class.
He rocks!!! Really cares about your grade and knowledge, seriously take his course!
He is awesome!!! Best Professor I've had in a while. Pay attention in class, don't miss class and do your homework.
He gives you chances to correct some tests and you can use them to study for the final!
Hes great when it comes to giving extra credit for every module! He will also give you many tools to do well in the course of you ask.
Dr. Greiss is a great professor. He is definitely difficult but works to help you understand the material.
Great teacher, Ive taken this class 2 times prior and this teacher was the one that made me finally understand the course and pass.
HE Is a great proffesor. If you do you work and pass quizess. You will be just fine.
He is very kind and will help you if you have any problems with the material. Hes not out to give you an F, but you will really have to work for an A. He wants you to do well in class and get a good grade. As long as you listen, do the homework, and the extra credit he gives you should be fine!
Professor Hany Greiss makes sure that their are no excuses not to pass. I would encourage you to ask questions and not to be ashamed if you dont understand something. He also helps you save money by posting some text book material online.
He straight
Do your homework youll get a good grade
Professor Greiss is another great professor that I was fortunate to have this semester. He made sure that you understood the course material, and went above and beyond to help you outside of the regular classroom hours.
If you don't pass Dr. Greiss' class, you just didn't try or didn't show up. He gives you all of the tools you need, is very flexible and will bend over backward to help his students succeed. He does not expect Math to come naturally to all of us and is willing to figure out how you can get the most out of this class and a decent grade.
This class is hard, his accent is hard to understand and I get so lost in the class, there is a test every week, although there are retakes, they are harder. I go to the math lab and the material is still hard to understand, he assumes that we should get it the first time, i'm afraid of not passing. He does not put in grades in time. I'm fed up.
He can seem a bit unorganized a lot of the time, but he cares and wants to ensure all his students pass. He is funny. I like that he will do what he can to help you and is very lenient with his students. You will need to study a lot on your own, so be proactive and if any, go to the math lab. He'll see that you tried and that matters the most.
If you do the work and try you will pass. If you do bad on a test he will let you re take the test. He is there to help. Always came in early and stayed late if anyone needed help. If you try you will pass. Very nice professor and occasionally funny.
Seriously great prof who cares about you individually. He will offer great feedback and help you understand anything you are having trouble with! Participation is key in this class, show up, try and you'll pass. I would totally recommend this prof!
Solid proffesor Easy class
he is a great professor and has great feedback
Very helpful, I enjoyed going to class very much. He was helpful and took the time to make sure I understood all of the problems that he was going over.
Prof Greiss is the best. This is my second time taking this course, and he was helpful throughout the whole entire class. He gives you ample chances to retake your tests, which is helpful. Study and you will be fine. No textbook, everything is through canvas. Easy class and he makes coming to class fun!
He was very accessible in and out of class. He always arrived extra early in the library and allowed you to ask anything and would take the time to break it down for you. He would also stay after class if you needed any additional help. A lot of the work was available online to learn, which I liked, and he would break it down in class. YAS!!!!
To preface, I HATE math, I have always hated math, but I was so lucky to find this absolute GEM OF A PROF. Let me tell you, if you don't like math and you need someone who can explain things multiple ways if you don't understand one way, if you need a professor that actually cares about their students' success, please look no further. So amazing!!
One of the most genuine, caring profesors I have taken so far. He moves at a quick pace but makes sure that everyone understands thoroughly. If you don't understand, he'll go the extra mile to ensure that you aren't getting left behind. He refuses to give up on you because he cares so don't give up on him. He allows retakes and is accesible.
I just took him for 1106 and hes amazing professor,, i recomend taking him.
Awesome professor finished with a A. You dont need a textbook! He allows retakes and makes time outside of class to help all students. I took a 7 am and it wasnt bad at all he is very lively and interactive. Take this class you wont regret it!!
Tough material but if you study alot and ask for help then you should pass so long as you really try.
Gives you so many chances to do well. He's very willing to help and really wants to see everyone succeed.
Look no more, if you want to pass take this class.
By far one of the best professors I have had in my college career. I have never met a more caring professor who wants the best for his students. I wish he taught outside of math, Id love to take another class from him!! If you see a bad review it means they didnt try at all, he gives so many chances. If you need a great math prof look no further!
This is by far the best teacher Ive had at Valencia. He is amazing at what he does & is extremely helpful to everyone. He breaks everything down so you can understand problems better. If you ever need a math class that he teaches, I RECOMMEND him!
Wonderful Professor Overall very understanding. Really Lenient and easy going. Definitely recommend him. Amazing Grading System and he is a good man.
Great teacher
Good teacher , he cares about your future and he makes sure you are alwasy doing well and are on the right track
The best professor Ive taken at Valencia in all my years. He wants you to pass. If it wasnt for his help I wouldnt have graduated
Do your work and show some interest for the class, that is all you need.
He is very caring and wants his students to succeed very laid back, sometimes teaches in an unconventional way, but he will spend as much time on a subject as you need in order to help you understand. Friends
I would recommend Prof. Greiss to anyone who may not particularly be good at math but still wants to succeed or needs to fulfill credits. Math was my worst subject, but I was able to earn an A in his class. He cares about his students and wants them to do well. He is from Egypt and has a very strong accent, though, so he may be hard to understand.
I had a bumpy ride with this professor. I had to work super hard in this class. I did reach out to him and mention I was struggling however he did not seem to care. You have to go to the Mathlab if you want to pass. Don't go to him he's not the best at explaining things. I taught myself for the most part. He can be disorganized as well.
Professor Hanny is a great instructor! Hes very understanding and will take time to help you individually if you are having troubles. Would highley recommend and would take him again.
Professor Greiss class is mandatory appearance! He is understanding and wants you to make an A in his class. Take good notes and appear for his tests. He will allow retakes and all you have to do is study, participate in class and be respectful! Even is math is not your best subject, Professor will help you to succeed!
This professor is very poor during class lectures which lead to most students being completely lost at the end of class and during homework. He also does not use Mathlab, so get ready to spend a lot of time at the tutoring center. You will spend many hours on homework and not know if your doing it right. Worst professor I've had in a long time.
Prof. Greiss is a very smart man who clearly knows his stuff. On his tests, most of the problems will have been done in class. He allows test retakes, and there's plenty of opportunity to get extra credit so even if you are not doing great on the tests, hang in there! One qualm - he is not the most structured, so that can be challenging.
I am really bad at math but throughout the course, I felt that Greiss was very approachable and understanding. He really cares about what he does. He honestly helps you a lot and offers a good amount of extra credit. Just be sure to keep up with the math lab. Overall as long as he sees you putting effort and trying you should pass.
One of the Greatest of all time! G.O.A.T.!!
Easy class to pass even when you don't understand statistics at all. This professor legitimately wants you to pass. Allows retakes of tests and is lenient on homework due dates. Very difficult to fail this class.
If you do the work, you will pass. He English isnt clear but if you ask him to clarify, he will. He is fair and understanding.
Overall an amazing professor, great lectures, and caring. Make sure to come in to every class so youre not behind! And do not use your cell phone!
He seems to be a caring teacher and wants our success. But his teaching WAS HORRIBLE. There was no organization which made understanding the material very difficult. Rushed through teaching and then would forget what he assigned us. 80% of the class was confused. Only take his class if you have enough time to read and learn on your own time
I took his class in Fall 2018 and it was the best decision I ever made. Professor Greiss actually cares about your grade and as long as you show him you are trying (retake tests if you need to, do the homework that is rarely assigned), he will pass you. Attendance is important and the tests were weekly.
I would not recommend this professor. The professor fails to actually teach the material. There is no presentation or explanation to the material and topics we learn. He bases his whole course on packets with questions that we must answer previous to and during class. If you struggle in math don't take him; your basically teaching yourself.
Professor Greiss is very understanding, to do well in the class you have to put in the effort and never leave anything for last minute because you will get stressed out. He is a good teacher I highly recommend taking him. Passed with an A!!
took mr. greiss for statistics. loved his course. def would recommend him.
Professor Greiss cares about your grade and success. After taking MAC1105 twice before him, the third time was a success. If you show up to class and pay attention to assignment due dates youll be fine. Gives extra credit and endless opportunities to re-take tests for a better grade. He is the best.
Prof. Greiss is a very great teacher. He showed us different ways of calculating equations in turn made it easy for us to understand. Im really happy I chose this course with him.
He is one of the best teacher I've ever had. Really caring, and help you to get an A. If you show him you want to pass he will help u.
This professor although he seemed caring was not the best math one Ive had. He doesnt lecture well so if you need a professor who will break down every step for you hes not the one. Youll learn more with your homework then you do in class unfortunately. He will try to boost your grade at the end of the semester though if you show you worked hard
Prof. Greiss is cool as a person, but his class gave me high levels of anxiety. SUPER LECTURE HEAVY, very fast paced, hard to understand, & he contradicts himself in almost every class. lots of hw, classwork, and labs. however he truly is willing to help students improve grades & see them do well. offers retakes on tests and lets you make up hw.
He is one of the best professors. I would definitely take him again. Take him you wont regret. Easy A
Okay, so I'm sure his actual classes aren't that bad but taking this class online was actual cancer. He lays down a deadline then starts grading early. Like???? Then he has the assignments show that you have unlimited or like 3 tries then after your first try he'll grade it and close the assignment. Plus you have like 8 assignment due every week.
This professor assigns so much homework. Expect about 4-5 assignments & a 40 question quiz and test every week. 50 homework assignments total, 7 quizzes, 6 tests. Final is 15% of grade. He does give you the whole semester to do the work but this class is extremely draining. Only take this class if you can self teach. Definitely do not recommend.
Professor Greiss was okay personality wise but the course was wildly unorganized and remained that way well into the third month of the semester. He assigns a ridiculous amount of homework that makes it challenging to focus on other classes. If you want a proper refresher before taking College Algebra I recommend you choose a different prof.
Prof Greiss is awesome! He is very kind and flexible. He is very understanding of students having other work for classes so he is flexible with due dates. Grading is easy, work is on MML which is simple. If you need help there's even math tutoring. He is a cool guy.
He is very hard to understand because of his accent and how thick it is. He started telling us that if we had family problems to stay with the family and get an F. I'm fresh out of high school so this isn't the best first impression. At least with tests and quizzes, he's nice about it. Either than that, I wouldn't recommend it tbh. 2/10
I would like to restate what I said before; I said that he was hard to understand with his accent. Everyone slowly adjusted to it but it was very hard to understand. Expect to teach yourself and or go to his other classes for more help. He's just unorganized as a professor. He seems fine but still, I wouldn't recommend it.
He is a nice cool guy!!
I really enjoyed the class! Professor Greiss gives tons of opportunities for extra credit. There's lots of homework on my math lab but that's also for your own benefit because to do well in math, you have to do tons of questions. Personally, I'd take him again if I have another class he teaches because he actually cares about his students!
Greiss is the worst professor I've ever had. He was incorrect about some math problems. He didn't care for your wellbeing either. He'll go off on tangents about inappropriate things in the middle of class. Please just do not take him, find someone else to teach you. Only good thing is he will try to get your grades up, but it's not guaranteed.
Awful teacher! He has a thick accent and is difficult to understand. He also contradicts himself and it was extremely hard to understand what dates our tests and quiz were on. Lectures made no sense. The majority of my class was confused about what was going on. I would NOT recommend to take him if you're not good at math!
Doesn't actually teach anything in class. Just opens mathlab and clicks through the homework and roughly shows you how to solve the problem. The homework is easy then the quizzes are taken at home and build on the homework which makes sense. The test however require a deep understanding of the concepts that you just aren't being taught in class.
Too many questions on quizzes / tests, heavily weighs them as well. Does not teach very well, most of what is on the quizzes / tests is not covered in class even though we meet twice a week. Treats students like children and can be very uncomfortable at times for several reasons. More than half the class dropped the class due to this. Many failed
Professor Greiss is an engaging teacher who explains concepts clearly. Attend class, complete assignments, and utilize resources like unstuckstudy - you'll do well in this course.
He comunicated badly, so half the time I didn't even know what he expected of me. I had to self-teach myself in this course cause this man has the inability to teach. He also sometimes raised his voice at students for asking "dumb" questions. He was scary. If you want to save your sanity, don't take a class under this joke of a professor.
This professor assigns an excessive amount of homework, much of which feels unnecessary. He was barely present and rarely replied to emails. When he did, he was rude and unhelpful. I didn't learn anything, LockDown Browser did the teaching. This class caused more stress than it was worth. Would not recommend.
I came here before enrolling and had high hopes, but after finishing, I'm convinced these good reviews were paid. He was rude, barely replied to emails (and when he did, he was dry), and he doesn't teach, the computer does. He be giving from 17 to 25 assigments per week.... insane. Don't take this class.
Don't take this class. He oversimplifies & doesn't teach well. He expects you to know everything. He has favorites and will only answer a few students. He treats you like a child and assigns a TON of work as if he's your only teacher. He even said your homework or study time should be double that of each class hour. Ridiculous waste of time.
Just a terrible teacher who belittles. The good ratings are paid for, do not choose him
