tests are way too long, you never have time to finish them... doesn't take grades for homework, which kinda sucks, cause you are gonna need the help[ at the end of the semester. projects are extremly easy..
Where to begin? He explains nothing; I mean seriously nothing. Never seek him for outside help, get a different teacher to help. His tests are long and impossible to do well on. He knows what he's doing, but hasn't the slightest clue as to how to teach it to us.
He is a very nice guy but he is a little on the boring side. It is tough to understand the material sometimes. The class wasn't extremely hard but it wasn't really easy either.
Knows what he's talking about, but can't explain it to the class. Tests are long and hard. So boring, I wouldn't recommend taking this class
He reminds of Mr. Rogers, boooring. He might know stats, but sure can't explain it. Plus, i hated his stupid labs, they were a waste of my time. I think baldy is a jerk.
I failed math 97 my first trip around with a different teacher. Mr. Graveman teaches my class very effectivley and asked questions only if the person puts forth effort
wonderful! best teacher ever! JG
Blah...such a boring class!
To Jerry's credit, how can a math class b anything less than boring? He was my very first teacher at GC, and he still speaks to me everytime he sees me... a very nice guy struggling to teach a much hated subject.
Explained everything very clear, Very nice and respectful to all students. Had him spring 05 for my first class @ GC. Very friendly. Keep your quizes to study by! Would enjoy taking another class by Mr. Graveman. Thanks for the lessons.
Great teacher! Test were long but he did give partial credit for anything that you did. I was scared I would not do well in this class but i came out doing pretty good.
This teacher sucks! He is not clear at all about the information that he teaches, and his tests are hard. I am really good at statistics, but this class was really hard. Don't take him if you don't have to. Although he is nice, he doesn't teach well.
Mr. Graveman is the BEST! I love taking his class, he is very helpful...but you just have to ask. I notice that he is very clear in his instructions and the way he runs his class. The only problem is that people don't listen!!! I couldn't have chosen a better teacher for my first math class at GSU!
This guy knows his stuff, but he doesn't know how to explain it. Unless you have taken Calculus already, you will be lost.
He is not the hardest teacher but definatley not the easiest! I got a B in his class. You have 4 tests; the 1st two are pretty easy and the last 2 are hard. The test are pretty long too. But he is very nice, just very boring and shy.
He is not a very clear teacher. He is iffy on the information. I think that he is a nice person, but his class was boring. I struggled to stay away in class everyday! If you are not a math matician then don't take him!
Explains each topic once, if you don't get it the first time go somewhere else! If you ask him to explain it he gets flusterd and says... "Just don't do what you did." Not very helpfull. You don't turn in homework. Test and quizzes are your only grades. Easy class if you are good in math, stay away if math is not your strong suit.
Really, really, really, boring. Answers every question with look in your syllabus. Has a couple of cup cake tests though.
DIDN'T ENJOY THE CLASS! YOU PRETTY MUCH HAD TO TEACH YOURSELF
he is a nice guy, but does not know how to teach. Does not answers questions during tests which is AGGRIVATING. he's not that bad, but definatly not my first choice.
Jerry Graveman was a horrible teacher, not fun at all and didn't even feel the need to explain things after he has taught it. Overall I suggest you not take this class if he is your assigned professor, you will regret it, trust me.
good teacher. has a dry sense of humor but you will get use to it and eventually laugh. really cool!! reviews homework and lets you take quizzes 3 times and you keep the best grade out the three. something like that. test are a little hard and tricky. just pay attention ask lots of questions and your good to go.
ZERO PERSONALITY! You basically have to teach yourself everything..if you're good at that then this is the class for you..if not you best get outta his class!!
Mr. Graveman is a teacher who only knows one way to teach the material and if you dont understand it that way you are screwed. I would advise everyone to advoid his class.
I had him for statistics...and wow...it was rough! I struggled to keep my grade at passing...Gravemen is pretty boring, of my entire educational history, his class is the only one that I have found so boring that I wanted to take a nap. He is really dry and looses attention FAST!
This class was the first class of my college career and let me tell you all something, avoid this man at all cost, very dry and boring, if you don't know it after he teaches it, don't ask for help, you are pretty much screwed. The worst teacher of all time.
You really have to work for your grade in his class (a good thing for those who really want to learn).
Professor Graveman has a very dry sense of humor- if you don't get it there is a chance he is making fun of you. Set up weekly after class study sessions to help anyone willing to stay after. Good teacher if you're willing to do the work.
Graveman, is a great teacher. his class is really easy. he will try to answer any questions you have. so need a math teacher his the one. = )
very helpful
I have to admit that I was a little worried about taking Dr. Graveman because of other students comments. I think he is very helpful. Before he moves onto something else he will ask if there are any questions. He has a sarcastic sense of humor- but I like that! I would take him again if I had to.
Mr. Gravemen was a very helpful teacher. All of these comments are more focused on his personality and frankly, hes not there to be entertainment, hes there to teach you math. which he does very well. i recommend you take this teacher.
would not recommend this teacher unless you are able to work on your own and already understand math
I absolutely LOVED Professor Graveman's class. I am more of a language arts person and am not typically good with math at all. Professor Graveman is a fantastic teacher and is great at teaching the material. Comprehended all the information & if I had to take another math, I would definitely choose him!
Math with Professor Graveman was somewhat hard. The good thing is he gives easy quiz's before each test, and you roll a dice to determine which problem the class will solve. If you roll a six you automatically get a 100 because there are only 5 problems on his quiz's! The tests are hard, but if you take the time to study the material you will be OK
I liked this class. Thought it was easy. No homework. Gives the quizzes a week before you take them. The tests weren't bad at all. He's a good teacher--I am taking him next semester too.
He is an easy teacher! His tests are easy as long as you practice and look over the quizzes he gives. Doesnt care if you attend class, but if you want a good grade you should go! Easy A
I actually thought he was pretty easy. I could have gotten an A had I put in a little effort.
Very easy. U had to be Retarded to fail the class.i study on last week of class and still got an A
Very good teacher! Gives lots of help for the tests and is very clear about topics.
Mr.Graveman is an easy professor. He is fair with his grading. He also asks students if they have any questions, before moving on to the next subject. Homework is not mandatory, but it is very helpful, because some test questions come from the homework problems. He also has a great sense of humor!
He DOES NOT let you use your calculator at all, not even on tests and quizzes. Homework is not mandatory, but he gives a lot of quizzes and tests. He makes sure you know what you're doing before going on.
Prof. Graveman is a great teacher to take Calculus with.. No dealing with accents or professors you can't understand, he gives you the quiz problems and only quizzes you on 1 out of 5 possibles, and he always makes sure you understand something before moving on. Homework not mandatory (but needed, attendance no attendence policy. Easy A if you try.
Really sweet guy! Be ready to keep up with him though, because he goes through the material pretty quick. I already had knowledge of most of the things he covered, but what I didn't I had to get help at the Math Lab. Wouldn't take him if College Algebra is new to you.
I don't know if I would say he was an easy teacher, but he's more than fair. Don't be afraid to take him.
Be ready to work hard is all I have to say. You almost cannot miss any class or you will be confused out of your mind! You have to get notes from other people in class too because he won't have them. No HW, just 4tests, 3quizzes, and 3skills tests. He's the sweetest guy though so I recommend him if you're pretty proficient in math and a hard worker
His class was fair. It wasn't too easy or too hard. He goes through the material kind of quick. It is deinitely best that you attend class every day. I wouldn't mind taking him agian.
Graveman may educated, but he is NOT a teacher!! Graveman shows No interest in clarifying topic or success of students, but only how fast he can race through the material. I would NOT recommend him
Never understood math until i took him. Great teacher if you pay attention and ask questions
Graveman is a great teacher. he is the first math teacher I had to take in college and I am happy with him. Don't listen to people who says he doesn't care. Do the homework when he assigns it and you will do well. He answers all homework questions in class.
Sweet guy. Goes through lessons quickly and easy to understand! Don't skip class because you'll miss something important! Math 0099 isn't bad with him
Grear teacher. Go to class. Take notes and it's smooth sailing.
Math 99 isn't bad with him. You have to study the material or you won't pass. He is a pretty cool guy and will help you if you're showing real effort! If you skip class you won't have any idea what's going on. You receive the quizes a few days before you take them. The tests aren't as easy as the quizzes so rely on the homework to study!!!
Graveman is a great teacher. He assigns book problems but doesn't ever grade them and will go over any questions at the beginning of class. You whole grade is 4 test and a final. So make sure you are ready for them. If you don't the homework at least on of the test questions will come from the HW exactly. He goes quickly so DO NOT miss class.
He is probably the most clear cut professor's I've had when it comes to math. He gives hw, but no grade for it. He answers questions for the hw at the beginning of every class. He also drops your lowest quiz grade. There are 4 tests and a final. Do the hw/pay attention in class then you will pass. Attendance isn't mandatory but it helps if you do.
I have taken Calc twice (once failed and second time withdrew). With Graveman I found the topic super easy to understand. Quizzes are the exact same ones he gives you to practice with and exams are all very fair! Loved him and he was very willing to help when you ask questions or go to office hours! TAKE HIM FOR CALC 1!
I really love his lectures!! he is a wonderful professor!! He is clear in his tests and quizzes!!! I would take him again!
I learned so many great things from this professor!! He is really care about the students, when students ask questions!! He will make sure you understand step by step
Take Graveman for Calculus 2!! He is so amazing!! I learned so many wonderful things in his class!! He will make sure everyone understand the materials in his class!!!
Calculus 2 is the most difficult maths class! Graveman will try his best to make sure everyone understand the materials! He speaks very clear! When someone asks a question, he will try his best to explain.
What a wonderful professor!!
Take Graveman for MATH 1450. He knows what to teach in class. He will make sure to go over the homework before he starts new material in class. He will also make sure everyone understand the materials one step at a time.
Graveman is a great professor. I recommend to anyone to take Calc 1 in his class. He would let the students know what is going to be in the quizzes.
Calculus 2 is very difficult and challenging. If you have Graveman, he will make sure to help you to understand the material. Do the homework, it will help you a lot in tests.
Amazing professor! Take him for Calculus 1!
Graveman is my favorite maths professor! Do the homework, they will help you a lot in the tests. Quizzes are super easy! He lets us know what will be on the quizzes. His lectures are amazing.
The best professor I ever have! I will definitely take him for Cal 2. the way he explains is so easy to understand. His homework is really helpful for the tests! Recommend to anyone to take him for Cal 1.
Really enjoyed his class! This class ended up being my favorite class of the semester! He takes time to go over all HW questions and explains clearly if you don't understand something (He also doesn't grade HW). Do your HW and go to class, and you'll do fine.
I had his elementary stat. evening class this past summer. His classes were boring, but I liked that he worked step-by-step how to do things. He tried to be funny, & at times, you just had to laugh b/c he was trying. Also, he would not let us leave early even if we finished our work (we could've had 5 min left of class & he would make us wait.)
I loved Prof. Graveman. He takes as long as the class needs to go over homework problems. He cares about you actually understanding the material. He doesn't offer extra credit but does try to manipulate grades to help you out. His class is moderately hard but that's just the material, he does a great job teaching it. I would 100% take him again.
Jerry is a very good professor. Calculus is somewhat difficult no matter who is teaching, but he did a very good job. You can also tell that he genuinely cares about each and every student and wants them to succeed.
It's math so there is there's gonna be a good bit of work but I enjoyed calc 1 with him more than any other class before. He grades tests typically out of 110 and isn't going after your gpa, he just wants you to know the content. He is good at explaining when you don't understand and seemed like a really good guy
Very picky about little stuff. Nickel and dime you in grading stuff like notations and graphs
Professor Graveman is a great teacher! Very clear explanations and grading criteria. If he says something might be on the test, it's going to be on it!! Definitely do all the homework and ask questions. You have to work for the grade but it is achievable if you put in the work.
Prof Graveman is one of the easiest calc professors. He doesnt require u to do his homework from the textbook but if u want a good grade, do those for extra practice. Easy quizzes and those quizzes are help u for test.
Professor Graveman is hilariously awkward and is an amazing lecturer. His class was super easy to understand and he gives extra credit on his test.
Professor Graveman takes his dedication to mathematics serious, hes not just going to give you the grade, but also understand brief calculus is a difficult subject. He provides 4 tests, 4 quizzes, and a final. Make sure you do all homework which is what the tests are over, and the final is over all the tests taken. Hes a genuine professor!
He is a decent professor, but of course, there is better. My problem with him is that if you have a swing grade, he WILL NOT work with you. He will not drop any test as well so you need to make good grades to start.
He is very nice and is the head of the department on the Gainesville campus. Very accessible. Walks through the math lab from time to time to see if his students need help and sometimes even help students through email. Strongly recommend him. So far, the best math professor I had at UNG. Just awesome. Could not recommend him more.
he is the department head so he has gotta be good. Easy A in stat. take him or else you'll be sad
He was nice and I actually learned calculus from his class. He has lots of office hours and ways to reach out to get help. Fun guy but requires participation in class. Tests are so hard so you have to study a lot but there isn't a whole lot of them. Taught well and cared about students passing the class. Just do the work and you'll be fine.
He was the best professor for my introduction to calculus. He really tried to help everyone and he also went over the reading. Be prepared to have to work through the book, but it isn't mandatory. I always recommend him, doesn't matter what class
Great professor. He made understanding calculus pretty easy, especially for an intro course. He provided lectures beforehand and went over the study guide in class. There is mandatory homework on WebAssign, must be purchased separately. Class time is spent going over lectures and working practice problems. 5 tests + 3 minute skills test + final.
It's calculus, a lot of people struggle with it, but if you have to take it Graveman is an excellent choice. He's very good at explaining the concepts and wants you to understand them. You have to earn the grade, but its worth it if you put in the effort. Doesn't waste your time with silly assignments, his main goal is to teach you calculus.
A very solid Calculus professor. He answers questions well and is a very fair grader. Attendance is was not mandatory but is highly recommended. Dr. Graveman's strengths, in my opinion, are being able to explain the concepts behind difficult material and connecting them to fundamental principles, which are invaluable traits for Calculus.
Calculus is a hard course and Graveman does a great job explaining concepts. Go to class and do the homework (which I failed to do) and you should not have terrible difficulty with this class. There are 5 tests, 4 quizzes (he drops the lowest grade), a skills quiz (super easy), one project (also super easy), and the final
Graveman explains concepts well but not to the extent of the test, so do the optional homework and study hard! There are 5 tests (5 points bonus), 5 Quizzes (1 dropped), 1 Skills Test (taken 4 times), a project, final, but no extra credit. Lecture conists of describing the concept, doing only easy practice problems, and occasionally dad jokes.
Such a kind and funny teacher. Occasionally does jokes at the end of classes to lighten the mood. He goes over the quizzes right before you take them, but occasionally changes the numbers so its not exact. He had a Skill Check which you took 4 times and he took the highest grade. Also gave back points on tests if you did well on exam at the end
Calculus 1 is a challenging course due to the concepts taught in it. However, a great professor makes a huge difference; Professor Graveman has many years of experience teaching it and has a background in engineering. His lectures will help prepare you for higher-level math classes involved in engineering; I highly recommend him 10 out of 10.
I cannot express how much I didn't like him. A hard grader!! I studied so much for this class and went to the math tutors in the act center and still didn't manage to get any A on any of his exams. He don't drop any exam grade terrible idea. Your grade in this class is almost all based on how you score on the exams. Don't take him at all means.
I understand that calculus is hard already and requires all the time and effort to succeed. However, he only teaches the basics and you have to teach yourself the rest. He isn't that accessible out of class as he'll just tell you to go to the ACTT center. I would not recommend him if you are looking for a clear answer to a question.
Professor Graveman is a nice person and good teacher. Sometimes the lectures are difficult to follow and unorganized. However, he will answer any questions you have from homework at the beginning of class. This class requires a lot of outside effort and tests are challenging. Overall a good professor.
Does a good job at explaining concepts, but hw goes more in depth, you will have to teach yourself. Quizzes exactly like practice but diff numbers, tests similar to quiz and easy compared to hw. Grade based on 5 quizzes (lowest dropped), 5 tests, skills tests (taken 3-4 times, highest grade counts), final, and project.
