I HATE THIS GUY!!! He makes his own grading scale and changes it without pattern or warning. He messes up on the test questions and you suffer for it. He is really mean and unwilling to help you. DO NOT TAKE HIM UNLESS YOU HAVE TO!

His myth ritual class I just took and I do not know what I'll be recieving. They told me this class was fun but never would I think it would be so boring and so extensive and require so much time. He is hard to understand, and sometimes very " my way is right, and yours isn't, but thanks anyway " He does keep you awake, his lectures are yelled out!

WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!!!!! I took this course online and by no means am I a slacker nor am I new to online courses at FIU. But, this professor is just terrible. The exams are extremely difficult and his TA a very harsh grader. He is not helpful when asked for help. Do not take this class with him.

Took 3241 online with him. He's not terribly helpful. Questions are quite random; they tend not to test your general understanding, yet pull from some minor obscure fact. He's also quite rude if you try to get clarification on something, say when the paper is due (he posted 2 different dates). It's just an elective so elect to take another course.

The class is unnecessarily difficult as well as the professor, the quizzes very hard, you have to read the material at least twice and not even with an open book you will get an A. AVOID this class at all costs.

This is a writing course and has an overwhelming amount of writing. There's not enough time to prepare for the 3 research papers which are 8 pages each. Topics are given 2 weeks before due. The 1st "quiz" had 10 questions to be completed in 60 minutes and each answer had to be half a page long...do the math, 5 pages in 1 hour. Avoid at all costs.

WORST Prof ever took, does NOT teach! ALL LECTURES BY DIFF PROF FROM DIFF UNIV! NO helP, guidance, feedback, Study guide or review. ZERO participation by prof! Contradicting directions. Unclear questions, insufficient time. got a B but A's in all upper level courses. This guy is NOT a teacher! He simply runs a class. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!

3 5-8 page papers due in 2 weeks after topic is given. 3 quizzes which are 10 questions total & are all essay style with 1hr to complete. Each answer given must be at least 1-3 paragraphs. Bi-weekly discussions must be posted and answered which are 4 questions given for the discussion & all must be fully answered. He is a VERY hard grader.

RIDICULOUSLY HARD.I took this class in hopes of opening my eyes and ended up so turned off by it. Not worth all the work you put into it. He's unprofessional and has no sympathy for his students.Takes forever to grade. Doesn't even teach the class, some white guy from another university does via recorded lectures. Not sure why they even pay him.

By far the hardest class I've taken at FIU! Quizzes were hard and professor took forever to respond to emails as well as grading assignments. You have to read about 100 pages a week and there are multiple lectures. Try to avoid this class at all cost. I still managed to pass the course, but it is not worth all the hard work and long assignments.

Not very clear when he lectures and the essay prompts are common sense and can actually be discussed in one page because there is not much to talk about in the essay prompts he gives us and wants us to write five pages for something that can be discussed in one paragraph. Pretty much repeats everything as well.

Unfortunately, this was my first anthropology class. Unclear with directives, not consistent with syllabus, disregard for students opinions, excessive ramblings, are just a few of the things that I found severely lacking in this professor's pedagogical dis abilities. If this is how anthropology is taught, then I am done with it.

I took this class over summer so the class was long. He gives breaks halfway through the lecture. All he does is reads off the power point which is online so going to class is futile. His accent is very think and he often breaks off into these tangents which have no meaning. You need the book for the quizzes, but the papers don't relate to the book

For an online course, I felt as if I was sitting in a classroom, very unhappy with this professors teaching "skills". He was not helpful, took really long, if ever, to respond to emails, and when he did, it was as if he was upset that he had to respond in the first place. I would not recommend this class or this professor. Very unprofessional!!!!!!

What a let-down! As director of the African Diaspora program, I expected a lot more out of this class. Unfortunately, by the time I figured out what point this rather arrogant professor was trying to make, the class was ending. He was also very selective with the "people of color" in the class, giving very little importance to other's topics

Actually I don't even know how he is the head of the dep. He is rude, his English is way out!!! He pretends to be tough,, what ever you do don take this class , He does not follow the rules while grading , don't even point out your opinion this is not a democracy , he is a dictator,, did I miss anything? there are better instructors at FIU ,

Takes forever to grade essays and he wants it in Chicago style. The quizzes are easy just make sure your internet connection is great

Simple, it's the world according to him, end of story!!!

The WORST in college history. My biggest REGRET in college!

Actually I don't even know how he is the head of the department. He should be fired, typical professor with tenure who things he is over everybody. He is rude,He pretends to be tough, He does not follow rules or due dates he is a dictator,there are better instructors at FIU.

Not sure how he got good ratings before. Took him online and horrible material. Very rude responses when you ask questions and do not even bother with wasting your time on discussions. They are so long and barely count at all I am not sure why he is teaching about religion but comes off so rude. Its honestly such a turn off

Jean is the worst. He is a hard grader for absolutely no reason. He is so rude when responding back to emails, I was afraid to even email him because of his snarky responses. Doesn't care about personal issues that might get in the way of a few assignments. Has a terrible attitude, I didn't learn anything. Miss a few assignments? Bye to your A+.

Worst professor i have met on FIU he gave us a final project where you suppose to write 4 pages and is giving everyone C-D he expect you to have more then a extraordinary paper when is not even a writing class. I wrote to him saying if he can recheck my paper he only comment on the first page and he say he read on two page number two and stop there

Avoid at all cost. If i would have checked his rating i would not have taken his course. He does not give you feedback throughout the course, is very rude and condescending and he is above all a tough grader for absolutely no reason.

This professor does not let you know your grade until the last day. He grades super harshly on papers for no reason. I usually get good grades on papers and he gave me a C. I have never gotten that grade before. I warn you not to take him, even if you are a good student.

Run run! Do Not Take his class...

Bi-weekly Quizzes doesn't give you enough time to think and respond with the tons of material to go over. Rarely gives feedback throughout the course. Typically rude when responding to emails, not caring for any personal issues going on or doing extensions for anything. Barely any ECs. Overall, he is strict but rarely for any good reason.

The professor is incapable of answering a question. If you have the option, choose someone else.

This was one of the easiest classes I've taken yet, but this professor is NOT it. He doesn't give any responses to emails other than "check the syllabus" and isn't clear with the final essay. He expects too much when he doesn't give the same energy or respect. If someone else is teaching the class, take anyone but Dr. Rahier.

Very tough grader. No leniency. Will not allow any mistakes.

Just avoid this instructor

Very non empathetic. Is very rude to his students.

honestly. do yourself a favor and run the other way. dr. rahier is not only super convoluted and confusing, but also extremely rude and blunt whenever he chooses to respond to your email. the course itself is so interesting and cool, but the papers required for you to write only vaguely align with course materials.

He is very rude and he doesn't actually teach. No lectures, no communication. You will learn everything for this course through the text.

The class itself isn't very hard, he's just the rudest prof I've ever dealt with. You ask him a question and it's almost as if his GOAL is to make you feel stupid. It didn't help that he didn't explain the prompts for the papers well. To get back at him, call him only call him Jean in emails, not Prof. It's 11 quizzes, 2 papers, and discussions.

The professor is extremely rude for no reason. tough grader. The quizzes are tricky. All the tests had several questions to write; he warns you that you cannot copy what it says in the book, but when you put it in your words, he does not like it, and his feedback is literally copied from the book, just what he does not want us to do

His class was not enjoyable compared to my other classes (no offense), the quizzes and discussions were pretty easy but when he makes you write a paper say goodbye.

Professor has a language barrier therefore he does not understand the written work you submit. He overlooks content in your written work and you always have to point things out to him and his TA. They would do better teaching a second language course for credit.

Avoid him if possible. If you have a question, he does not respond until last minute, hes rude and talks down to his students. Everyone struggled in his class and he saw that we were the problem and not him. As for his papers if you do one thing incorrect he drops you down on all the points. He dropped my grade on a paper just because of 1 quote.

I honestly would laugh at how much entitlement this man and his TA think they have. I'm not really sure why he chose this career, because a passion for teaching was sure not it.

This guy is just rude. Instructions are very unclear and vague for essays, and then he grades tough and will remove points for things that weren't even in the instructions. Him and his TA are rude to student when questions were asked.

Prof Jean must be tenured because he could not find a way to care less about teaching. Course material is so easy it's disrespectful and yet Jean is so passive aggressive and condescending you might confuse him for incompetent instead of arrogant. Easy pass if you know how to read. Avoid interacting with him at all costs.

Making a WhatsApp chat for students is absolutely essential. You're on your own for this one so get as much help from peers as you can. Don't dare to send him an email with a question cus he will be rude about it.

Super tough grader and also extremely condescending; despite having office hours you will still not be able to actually reach him if you're not able to make said hours.. You can email him and he will give you a whole paragraph as to why he WON'T give you an answer and to go to his meetings rather than just helping you then and there. Do NOT take.

Ego trips like no other. Very rude. Very sexist. Loved to talk over his students. Cost me over $3000 wasted taking his class. Would NEVER recommend

Don't take this professor. He is a tough grader, doesn't explain concepts, has a bad attitude towards students, and is very passive aggressive. The class consists of 12 quizzes and discussions, and a final essay (done in one sitting) that is worth half of the class grade, when you look at the rubric there are 37.5 points not accounted for. DONT!
