Worst professor I ever had. Tried to give me a D when my grades clearly resembled a C. Even after he figured out I earned a C did not give me credit said he was "In Christmas Spirit" and felt like being nice. Cannot teach and yells at students for no reason. Tests and homework is hard. Don't ever take this professor!!!

Does not follow grading rubrics. Sometimes very hard to understand. Grades very unfairly. I am depressed I took this teacher for Chem lab. Some positive views include; being let out of class early and not hard to achieve a decent grade.

DO NOT!!!! I repeat DO NOT take this professor!! He is the absolute worst professor I have ever had and he is so mean! He doesn't understand how rude he is. He literally made me cry. Not helpful and not clear on directions.

Avoid this professor, he is a stickler, has a heavy accent, difficult to understand and he rarely understands you. He is a very tough grader, goes over reports and practicals with a fine tooth comb, will take points off for anything and everything. I am taking this class with Calculus, ANP, and CHM lecture, this lab was my only B thanks to him...

He grades very unfair and does not know what is he teaching. He always rushes students out of class even though they have questions.

Took him for Chem 1 and 2 labs and I think he shouldn't be allowed to teach. He wasn't approachable and had a problem controlling his anger sometimes. If he was in a bad mood, he'd take it out on students. He'd also take off points for irrational reasons but, ultimately, you can mostly figure out what he wants and get an A in both classes.

He was rude and got angry a lot. Seemed like he almost made one girl cry. Created a bad learning environment. His grading was sometimes unpredictable. You can mostly figure out what he wants, but overall a terrible experience.

This has to be the worst professor at FGCU. Takes points off for not capitalizing your name or attaching extra papers. Goes back on everything he says, even if it is written. Once you get through the first few labs you understand his ridiculous expectations, getting an A isn't hard if you pay attention to tiny details. My advice: get in & get out.

I wouldn't recommend him to anyone! Not helpful explaining the material, goes back on what he says, and is very rude. Even tho I got A's on both my midterm and the formal lab report, and ended the semester with over 89%, he didn't round me to an A. Worst professor I've ever had. PS: if you miss one lab, you already lose 10% of your grade

Do not take him! I have all A's in all my classes and this is my only B. His grading is always unpredictable. He will encourage questions during lab but then then call students out for "not listening". He is condescending and rude to his students. Most of the time, I had questions but was scared to ask him. He should not be teaching period.

He is very hard to understand. He spends most of class explaining labs but we don't know what he is saying. If you miss 1 class you drop a letter grade. He does grade and answer emails quickly.

Acts like you should know everything and looks down on you when you don't. He is not very helpful. He is hard to understand and spends most of the lab lecturing about the how to do the lab even though it was required reading. Had to skip an immediate family member's funeral just to attend his class. Miss 1 class and drop a letter grade. Don't do it

Professor Adl doesn't do a great job at explaining things and is unclear about grading. He deducts points for small things and is unclear for his reasoning behind them. His grading system does not apply to all students as he tends to give students different grades for the same quality of work. Overall, I do not recommend. Do better.

Prof Adl grades harshly but barely gives instruction. And if you ask a question or try to clarify, somehow he makes it more confusing. He seems like he knows a lot about the subject but cant seem to convey the information in a way that works for students. If you struggle w chem and need every possible point to pass like I do, dont take Prof Adl.

The tags for ratemyproffesor are stuff like clear grading criteria and fair. he is the opposite! So rude and condescending! He will not answer you if you have a question and take points off if you get it wrong despite you trying to get it right and him not answering! Simply doesnt care

Unfortunately I had to take this class online because of COVID. He does a poor jabot explaining things clearly. I emailed him several times and asked for help, he wasn't much help. He didn't care and then he'd say I was doing the work right, but somehow he'd give me 50-60% on the work? He's very frustrating. Find a different professor for sure!

We do a lab, but he gives us his own data to upload and will take off points if it is not exactly as he wants it. Also, don't bother emailing him. If you email him with questions he will either a) ignore the question and tell you to basically figure it out, or b) leave you with even more questions. Overall, he is hard to reach and is a tough grader

Do not take this class! Dr. Adl is smart but does a poor job of communicating with his students. He deducts points for absolutely no reason and will have little explanation as to why. This class was disorganized and made unnecessarily hard.

Do not take this teacher. Not only are his emails very cryptic, when you email him questions he completely ignores them and makes you the bad guy. He also takes points off sometimes for the most random things (Like putting my name one time).

His reports are outrageously hard , he's very specific on data just pay attention in class and listen to what he says and you should pass but definently one of the hardest lab classes I have ever taken

He was horrible about pretty much everything. Any time i asked him for help, I was todl there was no confusion. I passed only becasue half the assignments get dropped. he told us day 1 that canvas was all messed up and due dates were wrong. Then we'd all miss something, and suddenly the due dates were right. Don't take him.

Professor Adl is very knowledgeable in his field, but I would not recommend this class. He talks very quietly so you cannot hear the end of his sentences. He does not lay out what he expects from you clearly. He does not respond to emails in full sentences. Lastly he snaps at his students and students are scared to ask questions.

Incredibly tough grader that gives very little leniency with lab reports and projects. Rude towards students and unconcise during explanations of class material. Grammar in emails is very poor and is generally very hard to reach outside of class. He also often scolds students during class.

He sends a ton of vague emails that he expects you to understand. He also never uses the grading scales on canvas and he goes by how he feels. Two people can submit the same lab data and one gets a 90 the other gets a 60

Terrible Canvas page. Disrespectful and misogynistic. Calls out students for asking questions in emails. Extremely unprofessional.

Please do NOT take his class. He throws tantrums in class if you don't follow directions cause "he's repeated himself multiple times" when he only says it once. Canvas & the rubric will say one thing, but he'll say another in class & get upset when you do it the canvas way because it is "wrong" but refuses to fix it because he doesn't understand it

Avoid him at all costs. please. he should not be teaching, like at all. when you do something wrong and you try to express your side, he cuts you off and condescends you. please don't take his class, it'll be best for your GPA and your mental sanity.

me and a couple others had to withdraw from this class, he is very unreasonable, any time anyone tries to ask him a question regarding a deadline or an assignment, he gets angry and says to look at the syllabus. He is very unorganized, and very controlling of variables that should not matter at all. He is very aggressive and rude. Please avoid him.

I've never had a professor mock me until I met professor Adl! Openly degraded students for simple mistakes and provided very little explanation for experiments and discussion questions. Impossible to meet with outside of class and responds to emails late and incomprehensibly. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!

please take my word and do not take him. incredibly rude and whispers so the class can't hear him lol

AVOID THIS PROF. had mental breakdowns. had to put so much of extra effort to complete the content. TOO MUCH BUSY WORK. lab quizzes are gruesome. lab report guidelines were useless and vague. made asking questions such a daunting & brutal task. spazzed on u when u wanted clarification. very stubborn. save the stress & headache, choose someone else.

DO NOT TAKE!!!!!!!! Save your money and your mental wellbeing PLEASE. His expectations and instructions make no sense. Very hard to email him any questions because he is very vague and short, and are left with even more questions. He expects the class to know things, but degrades us if we don't know it. Its a hostile and uncomfortable environment.

RUN!!! I have never met a more disrespectful professor in my whole life. His grading criteria is so unclear that it is nearly impossible to do good on anything. He picks on every little thing you do and is unreasonably rude about it. His instructions are hardly english and it has nothing to do with a language barrier, but its ALWAYS your fault.

Listen to the other reviews. He is a terrible professor. He follows his own instructions, will not give clear feedback or instructions on how to write lab reports that need to be done his own way. A lab report you should get an A will be a D. I wasn't gonna write anything bad about him, as I liked him as a person. But his grading is absurd.

Dr. Adl is a nice guy and very smart, but like many others have mentioned, his grading system is completely arbitrary. He uses his own guidelines for lab reports which he then completely ignores and gives you whatever grade he feels like. It genuinely feels completely random. He is also quick to put down/ berate students. Avoid at all costs.

Unreasonably rude to students and clearly has no desire to be teaching. Grading is completely random, as he does not use a rubric but his own guidelines, which are incredibly vague. Gets mad when students don't answer questions but berates/mocks students that get answers wrong. Gets very hostile when asked about a grades and calls students liars.

Will yell at you, degrade you for basic misunderstandings, make zero exceptions for late work and remind you that it is

Dont take this professor! He is completely inaudible and unclear. His canvas is confusing and often has conflicting instructions. You will be humbled and humiliated in front of everyone. My peers and I often got stuck by his unclear directions. He has an assistant who is also condescending and rude, but she's your only chance at guidance during lab

Very rude professor. Told students that “they wouldn't make it in life” when they asked a question he considered bad. Unnecessarily harsh on grading lab reports. Very unprofessional in emails.

Best to avoid this professor if possible. They have a strict, unforgiving grading system with vague instructions that can lead to random, unfair grades. Though smart, they can be disrespectful and unhelpful when students struggle. unstuck ai could be a lifesaver for study prep.

Take him if you want to end up in a mental hospital, because that's what happened to me. He refused to explain anything and would chastise the whole class if someone didn't understand. Incredibly rude and doesn't care at all. He doesn't even follow his own rubrics when grading and if you try to tell him he will scream at you in front of everyone.
