guy acts like everyone knows math and is good at it he sucks.

I would not recommend him for a math teacher, especially if you are not a math whiz. He is quite full of himself, and does not seem to care or understand that other people do not understand math like he does. He acts like you are stupid if you don't understand. Maybe if he explained how the math worked, instead of just showing us how to do problems

This guy shouldn't be teaching. I'm actually pretty good at math and my grade reflected otherwise. The homework is easy but his tests are filled with obscure problems that are not covered in class. He is arrogant and not even remotely interested in the success of his students. His class was the first I've ever had to drop.

He sucks, unless math is your life, like this guy. Don't take his class. He thinks he is a great teacher. But he doesnt care about weather you pass or not he gets paid eather way.

not very good

nearly impossible to do well he tries to confuse you and usually will have to look at the answer key passed algebra fine and he made me change my major..

worst teacher ever...told the correct way to answer after the test...asked for help and he asked to see my answer key...withdrew and changed my major..do not reccomend

DO NOT TAKE HIM! he requires both a book and the online my math lab, homework is due the very next class period,does not allow calculators, will not accept work done in pen, takes points off for attendance, does not reply to emails, will not go over problems he just did on the board... drop asap if you have him or else he will just lower your GPA!

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS, on the tests he grades so hard, if you dont show everything you do he will take off half of the points. I have A's in all of my classes besides this one.

Can't stand this guy. Talks too fast, entirely too much homework and not enough class work so when you get to the test you have no idea because the work you did was wrong the entire time. The class was so bad it gave me PANIC ATTACKS. It ruined school for me...

DO NOT take this teacher. I beg all of you. I put 150% effort in to this class and still received a D. Tons of homework, and online homework, tests are super challenging and he grades hard. Most time consuming class ive ever had as well. Most stress I've ever had from a class. I'm an A studentt and this class was just awful.

I would recommend this class to an enemy. He is the worst math teacher i've ever had. very arrogant and a hard grader. I studied hard for every test and my highest test score was a 72. He takes doesn't give partial credit. Assigns too much homework and doesn't offer help.

I am good at math, and I worked extremely hard to fail. On multiple occasions, I got the answers correct on tests, but because I didn't show my work the way he "taught" it. When it comes to teaching, he just repeats himself in a louder tone. Told a student, that he wished he got paid overtime for teaching students who couldn't make it to class.

The teacher expects you to know as much as he does about this subject. i worked hard and basically was told that i wasn't doing a good enough job. i was a straight A student until i hit this class. He's arrogant and expects way too much from first time students from the first day to the last day. Horrible class with a bad teacher. DON'T TAKE IT

DON'T TAKE THIS TEACHER. I BEG YOU ALL. I'm currently taking this class and i can tell you it will stress you out and make you hate math. His test are 10-20 questions so if you miss a couple you will be at a C. No reviews before test or before Final. He is rude and expects you to throw away all what you have learn for math and do everything his way

He is not a tough grader and does not take a lot of homework points, goes too fast in lectures. I do not recommend him for a teacher.

very tough grader, wants things done in his specific way which is fine but was often way different than how other teachers would teach things. I would advise dropping his class

He barely uses mymathlab and only grades one question on your homework.

EVERY time I would try to ask him a question he'd say he'd come back to me but never would. Nor would he help after class, claiming he didn't have the time. Because of this I quickly fell behind. I went to talk to my guidance Counselor about dropping and she says, (no exaggeration) Your instructor? Him? YeahHes not a very good teacher. No lie.

terrible teacher. not good at explaining, makes you feel stupid and grades tests inconsistently (will take off unnecessary points here and there) sets you up for failure.

I decided to take statistics online at SCC as none of the other courses at UMSL fit my schedule, what I did not expect was how difficult it would be. I have not ever failed a class (until now) and I am almost done with my Bachelors. I spent about 22+ hours a week on this class alone which was exhausting. I had 80% in the class but failed the final.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF. I REPEAT, DO NOT. Hes extrordinarily picky about everything. If it doesnt follow the page long checklist EXACTLY, you get no credit at all. He doesnt like to personally help hell just immediately send you to the ace center. Doesnt do a good job expressing the topics either, very confusing. Just dont do it...

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. He is not helpful and doesn't seem like he really cares about his job, I missed one day and was SOOO behind. Even if you see him at his office hours, you're going to fail. I went to the tutoring center and tried my freaking butt off. Him for college algebra? RUN AWAY NOW

Grades very differently, not in a good way.

Worst prof i've ever had. Awful person too.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!! All throughout highschool, i did GREAT in math. My first semester as a college student I took his college algebra class and it was the worst decision of my life. I ended up failing !!!!!! He offers help outside of class, but the way he teaches is not the way to go. It's very confusing and doesn't make any sense.

Professor Niemczyk is a staggeringly arrogant professor. On the first test of the year, nearly the entire class failed, but rather than consider the possibility of that being a reflection on his teaching, he took no responsibility and suggested that low scorers drop the class. He seemed to enjoy being condescending. Put very simply: do not take.

Listen here. This is the worst class Ive ever taken. This guy just wants you to fail. He gives out hw quizzes with about 30-40 MANDATORY questions yet he only randomly grades ONE of them! If he picks one you did poorly then I guess you get 15% on that quiz. Its lazy. Also if you fail the final you fail the class. Just dont bother. Find anyone else

I took this course during the pandemic , worked 2 jobs still (50+ hrs). You would expect the professors to be a bit more compassionate. I had internet issues at times making my assignments late by one minute or canvas would not accept my uploads. I would inform the professor about the issue, he did not care and would redirect to grading policy.

Boring, boring, boring lectures. So much work for no reason, assigned daily except on weekends. He's has very tough guidelines and very unforgiving. If you have to take this class, I'd look elsewhere for a professor.

Horrible. Holds absurd standards. Does not put even a fraction of the effort he expects from you as a student into being a present and engaged professor. If your class is online, be sure you don't accidentally submit scanned worksheets with the pages in the wrong order, as he will refuse to grade your work and give you a zero. Completely irrational

Quite literally the WORST professor I have ever had. He does not respond to emails or even seem interested in what he is teaching. No wonder he is only an associate professor. Look at all of these other 1 star ratings and take our advice do not take this class. I had a 97% up until the final which is 35% of our grade. He will not have a job long.

Not at all caring or even considerate on a basic human level. Took an asynchronous online course, prof did almost no work himself (1 small homework assignment/week and prerecorded lectures), and yet was difficult to get ahold of and unpleasant to interact with on the few instances in which I had to. Indignant and disrespectful.

Quite possibly the most difficult math class i have ever taken. And the professor by no means even made an attempt to help out his struggling students. The class average at midterms was a 35% and its safe to say that most of the class did not pass in the end. He is very in his own ways and unpleasant to speak to. If you get him. Withdraw FAST.

I can't recommend taking this course to anyone, I hate it when my fellow students complain about a teacher or say its all their fault for their bad grade but, now I see. This is the WORST teacher I have had in any math class I have taken. The final is worth ridiculous credit and homework is worth 3 points. If you struggle on exams JUST DONT TAKE IT

The homework assigned is worth three points, but it should be worth more. If you do take this class, then be prepared to work for it. I struggled with this class a lot despite having a good grade. I recommend seeing the math tutor with the course. Do not be afraid to reach out to the tutor!

At one point during class, he made an offhand remark about the bad reviews he gets, so, figuring that he's at least vaguely aware of his awful reputation on this site, I would add to the torrent of unfavorable posts to add my own feedback, even though there's already more than enough bad reviews to prove that he's an abysmal professor and person.

Mr. Niemczyk's last name is of Polish and Jewish origin. I spoke with a teacher who taught him years ago when he was going through college, they said he failed their (calc 1) class 3 times (never passed). His offered classes don't go beyond high-school curriculum proves his inability to comprehend complex and intricate math formulas & concepts.

If you want to be a mathemetician, choose Niemczyk. Fr he knows a ton but if ur taking basic Stats like me and dont care for math skip this guy. I really enjoyed how the class was structured and his lectures were nicely done very very hard class tho and he gives 5 tests. none are dropped and they count for 25% of final grade notbad teacher but hard

He's NOT "old fashioned" with homework. He gave a huge amount of problems and only corrected one each time. His tests were very hard. He didn't teach, he only assigned work, lots and lots of homework. He wasn't helpful and you had to teach yourself or go to tutoring. I did well only because I got lots of help, but none from him. Don't take him.

I would avoid taking him, he doesn't teach well. When I asked him for help, he was rude about it. I was left confused and having to seek outside help all semester. If you have to take him, expect to spend a lot of time at the tutoring center.

One of the worst professors I have ever had. Doesn't fully explain projects which leads to constant emails when I just want to finish the work. Worksheets are graded very heavy and leave little to no room for error. This was an introductory Statistics class but I felt that almost every topic was for professional understanding. Don't take this one.

awful

In the 2nd week of the summer semester (equals to the 4th week of a regular semester), I regret not looking into before enrolling in this overwhelm course. The workload feels like 3 classes combined, I spent at least four hours of daily study. Constantly feel stressed, confused, and miserable, particularly after a grueling and lengthy first exam.

took as a summer online course. absolutely horrible. he was no help whatsoever. his lecture videos do not help any as he pulls information out of nowhere without explaining where/how he got it. absolutely do not take this class with him, the mental and emotional damage was done. he's worthless.

Very condescending. Not an effective teacher at all.

This is the worst math professor I've had since first starting college originally and coming back as an alumni to further my education. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. He will leave you guessing on every single homework assignment and give you problems on homework that were not covered in class and aren't covered in the textbook. DO. NOT. TAKE. HIS. CLASS.

Awful…just don't take it

my courseeval was 1300 words ab how much i dislike him. i was hospitalized and he did not give me an extension and my grade tanked. his video notes for absenses dont match the notes u have from class. no feedback on hw. u cant makeup tests u have to take them beforehand. asked him for help w hw so many times during office hours and he just said no.

Absolutely awful, do not enroll, and if you are enrolled, drop before it's too late. Went to him for help twice, used nearly every single resource provided, was still so lost. Turned in 3 tests with tear stains. Homework was beyond excessive. All coursework was harshly graded. Took the same class with a different professor and passed with a 96.

Does things just to make it difficult on you, does things very weird ways which aren't helpful. Overall weird professor and just basically wants weird things done his way which just make it more difficult for the student.

He always gave us the hardest problems on our tests and they never matched what was in our homework. I tried to get all the help I could get, but nothing worked. It was so bad, I had to drop the class to save myself. Don't ever take his class!!! If you are in there... GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!!!!
