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.

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
