Dr G is the best teacher i ever had at BCC! Had so much fun, and all my classmates are amazing! TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!! :) <3
This professor should serve as a model for other instructors to follow. He knows his material and delivers it well. The atmosphere of the classroom was very comfortable and conducive to learning. I wish he was teaching other courses at BCC. I highly recommend this professor! I enjoyed the course immensely....
Had such a great time in this class. I learned a lot of important things and it's all because Dr.Gracia explains it very well. Great class, great experience!
this is an awesome teacher! i enjoyed his class soo much! what i loved the most is that in his class we are more than just a number, he gets to know us in a personal level and i respect that about him. An he remember your name even after the class is over...best class ever!
I wish that this course was given my 1st yr in HS. Dr. Gracia is an exceptional instructor. He genuinely cares about his students and his passion of teaching is evident in how in conducts class. If I had a Dr. Gracia in everyone of my classes in HS, I would have been an "A" student, no doubt.
Finished his Success Strategies class about a week ago, he was an excellent teacher, very funny too. I recommend this class to anybody that notices they need to change for the better in life.
He is super cool, really easy going. Understands when you cant make it to class. Brings in cookies and other food(; makes the class really fun.
Best teacher and class ever!!!!!! just finished his class tonight and had a blast at chili's with him Context isn't hard and class is actually helpful!noo regrets!
Great professor, A+! He makes everything fun! This was 2nd class I ever took at this college it was "Awsome". I did not think college could be this fun. I was shy but because of this class I have more friends. Thank you Dr. G
Dr. G is a great teacher. He is very fun and exciting once you get to know him. He works to make a good a good atmosphere for everyone to learn in. He may be a little unclear at times, but overall he is a great teacher :) And I have to say I will probably miss his class.
Dr. Gracia is a wonderful teacher that enjoys what he does every day. He consistently looks out for his students and if there is anything he can do for you he is there for you by phone or email. He WANTS his students to be successful. Class is always fun and the content is meaningful! Thank u Dr. G for being a great teacher and mentor!
I honestly didn't know this class was going to change me in the way it did. My advisor recommended Dr Gracia to me. I remember having him in another class so I knew it was going to be good. The stuff that I learned helped me in other classes and to also look at myself and see if I was on track. I know I will be successful in life. Thanks Dr. G.
I have learned alot from this class and will take many experiences shared in class with me forever. The teacher truly knows his stuff.
I am very grateful to have been able to be a part of this class. It has taught me new strategies and skills and how to better use the ones I already have. Since taking this class with Dr. G I have definitely changed the way I view things.Because of him and his class I have learned to be a better person.I am thankful to have had Dr. G as my teacher.
Thank you for giving us 100% of your time and knowledge. Dr. G- is very well-organized and a great communicator, even through email. Love that! One of the best teachers I've had.
The greatest teacher I have ever had. I feel like he connected one on one with all of his students. Makes class comfortable and has enough energy to power a city block. Take him...class easy going and fun to be in. No regrets!
Dr. Gracia. was the best teacher that I have evr had. Being his student this semester enabled me to learn positive life changing strategies that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. He lives for the success of his students! I have nevr met a teacher that cares so much for his students. Hes positive at all times, upbeat,and straight forward
If you need a lifting in your self esteem,or if you need direction in what career you should be pursuing, or if you just need to smile and be encouraged, I will advise you to take Dr. Gracia. Being in his class gives you strength from week to week. If u are shy, you won't be at the end of the semester. He gives alot of group projects.
Dr. G's class not only helped me get through a tough break up, but I found out I don't need a man to make me happy. I can do that myself. We had a guest speaker who was very inspirational to me. She was happy, enjoyed her job, and raised her son without any help. She change the way I see life now. Thank you Dr. G for bring her into the class.
My sincerest gratitude to Dr. Gracia for teaching a wonderful course. I am forever thankful to him for being such a motivatinal teacher and for always being there for us.
This class has definitely made me realize all my faults and all my strengths, and has even helped me control my emotions. The chapter on developing emotional intelligence will help me for the rest of my life to overcome some of my current situations. Thank you Sir!
Been tested nuumber of times this semester and I believe if it had not be for this course I would of dropped out. From day day I remember Dr. Gracia saying "never give up" and create your own success. I thank him for not only teaching but for caring about what and to whom he teach. This may very well be the best and memorable class I'll ever taken.
Thank you Dr. Gracia for instructing me through this class and opening my mind to the more important things in life, family and friends. I wish you taught more class at BCC. You are the best!
Dr. G I just want to thank you. Your class truly helped me become a better person. I love who I am as a person now and I continue to grow. I will share what I have learned with other so they can benefit like I did.
This semester I've learned so much on how to become successful in my career and life. Thank you Dr. G for having Mr. Belton as a guest speaker. He was inspirational and fun, and also provided great infromation on future careers. Best class ever!
This class has helped me understand the true meaning of success. The instructor shows a lot of enthusiasm and passion and that helps motivate students. In this class you get what you put in. Thank you Dr. G for a great learning experience.
Best teacher ever! He stops his foot when reviewing a chapter so you can write it down because it will be on the test. We did a Journal, really made me think of my desions. Still using the words creator, Victom, Inner-guide, Inner-defender, and everything else we learned. WOOT! Good class with a Crystal clear teacher.
He Was An Easy Awesome Teacher ! :)We didn't have midterms or nothing like that. And when he graded to 10 quizzes we took he would drop the lowest grade :) and the journal are really fun to do. you will really learn about yourself.
He is the best sucess teacher ever. He always reviewed a chapter with you so we can do good on the quiz and the best part was getting cookies :)
What an amazing teacher. Dr G, is very insightful and helpful. He helps you understand and when you are covering a subject matter he goes the extra mile to explain. hearing everyone's success stories inspired me to look take each even as a great success. He turned my life around and I will be forever grateful! Awesome Teacher for an great subject

Dr. Gracia is the best. Very helpful, and funny. Class was amazing. EVERYONE should take his class at least once while in college.
I'm so thankful for this class because it helped my confidence in such a positive way. It feels good to know I got it right--creator! I believe in Dr.G. He showed me there are still reasons to attain my goals and dreams. I have lost 40 pounds and feel good. I enjoyed your class; you made it fun too. Dr. G, I'm going to miss you.
The best things I have done for my college career so far has been to take Dr. Gracia's Success Strategies class. I originally took this class because I thought it would be an easy A. I have learned more than I could have ever imagined. The coolest thing about this class was taking the MBTI personality assessment. Thank you to Mr. Rich Belton too.
OUTSTANDING TEACHER! This man took someone who HATED life and turned him into a lover and creator of life. I can't get over how awesome this class was to me. This man is amazing! I wish I had him in all my classes. He's that good!
Professor Gracia is absolutely amazing! It has been a privilege to be in his class. His lectures are crystal clear and entertaining. Honestly, I always looked forward to his class. It was a wonderful experience and I have learned a lot! Register early to get a spot in his class. It fills up quick. You won't regret it!
Great professor and great teaching style! Follow his syllabus because it is designed for you to earn a letter grade A. He is very funny, but I learned so much; personally and professionally which has helped my career. Fun class to take!
Dr. Gracia has inspired and motivated me to want to do better in college and in life. This professor is the best; you LEARN and have FUN! I am going to really miss his class.
Very Great Class PAY ATTENTION can't stress enough when he says to say something it's best to do it because it's worth participation points Quiz are easy and the Final Paper is easy This Class is very well recommended
For anyone whose job is mentoring and inspiring others, Dr. Gracia's "Success Strategies for College and Life" class is indispensable. His guest speakers are extraordinary as well. I heartily recommend it for anyone seeking change. I am now blessed with positive thoughts and loving life again. Thanks Dr. Gracia!
The class was easy and fun. I learned a lot about myself and how to become a better leader. The class becomes one big family which makes reading the journal enters and the team project really easy to do. Dr. Gracia makes sure you get the most out of the class and the most out of life itself.
Dr. Gracia is one of the best teachers you will ever have. He is extremely helpful and he pushes you to work. He makes the class interesting and exciting for the students. You even get cookies :D (sometimes)
Dr.Gracia is such an amazing teacher he is so inspiring and i just wish he taught more because he is a teacher who will bring everything to life
This was the best class I have ever taken in my life. I only wish that all the teachers of my life were half as good. Dr. G is extremly helpful and made the subject fun and easy to understand. Because of him I changed my ways and I am happy again. Absolutely the best class!
Dr. Gracia is the most amazing teacher I've had in years! He's so helpful and straightforward. I recommend him. He's amazing and changed my life for the better with this course.
Definitely take him!!! Dr. G is the MAN! Not only is everything straightforward but quizzes are easy and he's so cool and knows so much about his field. The guest speakers were also outstanding too. Amazing class and professor :)
Professor Gracia is a fun teacher; making the class interesting. In fact, very easy to earn an A if you put the effort. Dr. Gracia was also instrumental offering to help when I needed much encouragement in my life. Wish other teachers I had took the time like he did. I am a better person now with my mother thanks to him. What a Man...fact!
Thank you Dr. Gracia for a great experience; you really changed my life for the better. I also want to thank you for helping me build my life and for giving me the sight I needed toward career success. God bless you always.
What an experience--thanks Dr. Gracia for helping me change my life; for taking the time to bring guest speakers that always mananged to surprise me and for teaching me the meaning of "real life". I'll always be grateful. This class was an amazing experience and has changed the way I see things. You're the best teacher and an awesome human being.
The Success Strategies course was a wonderful experience and I am glad I took it at the very beginning of college. Dr. Gracia, you made this course so exciting and I have learned so much. Everything that you have taught me will be remembered in my journey in life. I know, thanks to this class, I can say it's all making a difference in my life.
Dr. Gracia is outstanding. He shared lots of educational resources with us. He put extra energy in the class to motivate us. I am very satisfied I took this class with Dr. Gracia. Hope he stays many years with BCC--he's that good!
This man loves to teach. He loves everything about it. Dr. Gracia's class is not easy but he keeps you awake and engaged. I learned a lot from him. A must take!
Dr. Gracia is terrific. Pay attention, take notes, do all the journals and you will earn an A. This class is always interesting and fun. Dr. G is entertaining and knowledgeable. His classes fill up before anyone else so if there's a spot open, take it now. He's that good!
I absolutely LOVE this teacher. He's such a kind, noble man to everyone. Sure some folks try to take advantage, but in the end it's their loss. Do not texted during his class; you'll regret it! If you don't understand, ask! He will explain anything to you again and again. I strongly recommend even if this isn't a req'd course. Dr. G is the BEST!
I highly recommend this course.After not being in college for many years this course really opened up my eyes and showed me my strengths and weaknesses. It helped me be focused. To understand how the outcomes of my life is up to me, in my control. Great tools taught in this class.
Dr. Gracia is the best teacher of my life, no interest in life but he sure changed that for me. He is energetic excited not to mention extremely good looking for his age. Dr. Gracia truly cares about his profession and his students and I go as far to say he is the best professor at BCC!
350 words does not do this man justice! I waited 2 semesters to get into his class.. 100% worth the wait! You would be insane not to take him! Dr. G wants you to succeed so badly. If you fail his class that's on you because he does everything in his power to help you do well. He's so sweet and so smart. I literally love Dr. G! He changed my life!
By FAR the greatest teacher I have ever had in my entire life. Dr. G isnt an "easy" teacher, he is an effective teacher and thats what makes his class easy & fun. He teaches in a way that you remember the material, not memorize it. I would bet my A+ that I could take and pass a test in his class a year from now. He is amazing & a Must Have Teacher.
I graduatede in May and just wanted to say that Dr. Gracia was so helpful both in class as well as offering to write a recommendation letter; and even offer me career advice. As I look back on my experience, he is by far the best professor I have ever had. Please teach more classes Dr. G
I love this class. It's a three hour night class but I look forward to it every week. Dr. Gracia is an awesome professor. He gave me a new perspective on how the world works. He's that good, and everyone should take him!!!
I loved his class; awesome! Dr. Gracia loves this subject and it really shows as he is teaching the class. I learned so much about the subject and I thank this professor for a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Dr. G made is great and I plan on going far in life thanks to him.
Dr. Gracia is an outstanding prof. I found this class very useful, and I am glad I took it. I suggest this class to anyone who is struggling with managing their time and struggling with their other classes. Dr.G does a nice job with his lessons that most new college students would find class helpful. Also, be able to use all the things you learn.
Mr.Gracia is one of the greatest teachers I've had. It was an amazing experience learning from him. I've learned a lot about myself from taking his course. I've also learned that not all college professors are heartless.
WOW EFSC; you're the best! If my counselor never suggested Success Strategies class to my schedule, I would have never learned any of the life strategies in the book. I also wouldn't have learned how to manage money effectively. I learned how to be a Creator. Thank you Dr. Gracia, I feel more successful than I did before I decided to go to college.
This man loves to teach. He loves everything about it. Dr. G's class is not easy but he keeps you engaged. I got in his class late so I was always catching up. He helped me do that without asking. I know he did not have to do that, but I learned he is that way when it comes to his students. EFSC, take note; you have a great one in Dr. Gracia.
Dr. G is one of the only professors after my Bachelors degree that I have remained in contact with. He is an extraordinary professor, but most importantly, a genuine person. He pushes students past their limits to find who they are and find out who they want to be. Intelligent, Respectful, Thoughtful, Positive are some words that come to mind.
A professional who knows what he is talking about. Class is not difficult if you do the work, take notes, and do a little study. His educational videos are moving and you learn a lot. Dr. Gracia is a must take. I would take it off line and in person with him again. He's that good!
This professor should serve as a model for other instructors to follow. He knows his material and delivers it well. I wish he was teaching other courses at the college. I highly recommend Dr. Gracia! I learned a lot and enjoyed my first on line course immensely...
This teacher is by far the best. He really cares for his students and wants them to succeed. Take his class! You will not regret it.
Dr. Gracia is the BEST professor you will find. He makes the class fun and easy. But the quality that makes him stand out is that he is VERY VERY caring about his students and their grades. He is very helpful; and quizzes and final exam are not hard as long as you study and review the material in the book. I HIGHLY recommend him!
Dr. Gracia is an ANGEL.He's literally sent from heaven. Best person to exist - if you get into his class, you are so lucky. Everyone wants to be in his class--EVERYONE!I waited a semester for him. Best professor not just at EFSC, but nationwide. You want to feel better about yourself and life,take him!
He was by far the most encouraging teacher I have ever had during my college journey. Always giving back feedback on each assignment and journal entry. This class really made me look at the way I prioritized things in my life. I really enjoyed the class and I'm happy I took it. By far one of the best professors I've ever had!
I really enjoyed this class he kinda made the class feel like they were just a group of your cousins or something. As long as you keep up with the readings, the journals, and do your group project and essay at the end of class, you should walk away with an A. This class can teach a lot of helpful things but its up to you if you really want or not.
Loved this class so glad I took the class totally worth it. Dr Gracia was very helpful and wonderful at complimenting you when you are doing well. As long as you keep up with you work you will have no problem.
Awesome professor and great class. I definitely suggest taking his college success class.
The BEST of the best!
Super easy A! The things you learn in this class will actually be helpful in your life. Easy online class
best of the best. awesome, inspirational, caring, and very passionate professor. always giving back feedback on assignment. I would take his class again.
Dr. Ralph Garcia is a very inspirational teacher who cares about his students success. I would highly recommend taking his class.
Awesome professor! Dr. Gracia truly cares about student success. I enjoyed learning and being supported in class. He spends quality time teaching about college and life success. Dr. Gracia is the real deal. By far the best professors I've ever had!
I absolutely loved taking the college success course with Dr. Gracia. He was so kind and truly a wonderful professor. He was very understanding about everything and always left amazing feedback right away. I learned so many awesome things in this class too, I was so surprised! I would take his class again in a heartbeat!
Dr. Gracia is absolutely AMAZING! He is truly the best professors at EFSC! Dr. G gives you real-life experiences. I love how he connects with the students even though you can't see him. Thank you, Dr. Gracia, for a great semester. I learned so much about myself and how to love my life.
Dr. Gracia is an awesome teacher. You will definitely learn so much about yourself in his class and have a different, positive outlook on life. Although it was a three hour night class, Id take it again.
I really liked him, gives amazing feedback! Dont get any other professor
Dr. Gracia is an AWESOME professor! He is so inspirational and really cares about his students! His class was the best and I learned so much. This course should be required as I feel everyone would benefit from taking this course!
Laid back, truly cares, and an easy A if you do the assignments with care.
Easiest class Ive ever taken. You get 2-3 assignments a week that take around 40 minutes out of your week to finish all together. One 10 question quiz one discussion bored with no minimum word requirements and 1 assignment from out of the book. He also gives extra credit if you take the feedback survey on him (not that youll really need it).
Best class ever!!! Dr. Gracia is so kind and caring. He really cares about his students and has a love for teaching. He includes interesting videos and has great quotes post as well. He is also super as a online teacher, answers emails right away and avaible anytime for help. I just wish I could take another course with him.
Professor Gracia is truly a one of a kind professor & well respected. He is personable, approachable as well as knowlegable when providing instruction to his students. He holds his students responsible as well as accountable for their performance in his courses as he clearly spells it out in the syllabus. YOU ARE AWESOME DR. GRACIA!! HOOAH :)
Amazing professor and teacher. Dr. Gracia is an awesome human being too. He cares about the success of his students. Best class I have had at EFSC.
Dr. Gracia thank you for all your help this semester, I appreciate everything you did. You were always quick to reply to emails and encouraged us to reach out. This is not always the case with some professors. Also, I am very grateful that you were always quick to get our grades and feedback back to us quickly. Again, thank you!
Online class. Turn work in on time.
WONDERFUL PROFESSOR! Dr. Gracia cares about your success at EFSC and beyond. I'm in high school and this was my first online class at EFSC. I was so scared about taking it online, but I'm here to tell you, it was the best decision. An amazing learning experience. He was awesome & loves to teach too. If you take this class, DEFINITELY choose Dr. G.
Dr. Gracias success strategies class helped me a lot, and it was easy. I definitely would recommend this class.
One thing I like about Mr. Garcia is that he really cares about his students. His stories are great and interesting to listen. And he provides so much information for his class and other future college courses. I recommend taking him during your first semester of college. Great teacher, going to miss him.
Very very Interesting class. He gives great feedback and very beneficial advice. He is also really funny �� I highly recommend this class.
Professor Gracia is one of the most amazing and impactful professors you can have if you have the chance just to be in his class I highly recommed seizing the opportunity each lesson dives deep into subjects that have the possibly to effect many diffrent aspects of your life from the point of the first class through the rest of your life
Great teacher! Responds quickly to emails, uploads assignments on a fixed schedule so theres never any surprises, assigns homework thats easily digestible and comprehensive. If youre going to take this class, 100 percent, you need to take him.
Dr Gracia is an amazing professor and person. He is so genuine and always has something nice to say. His class was very easy and entertaining. I learned a lot but I was never bored. Take his class, you won't regret it.
Professor Gracia was amazing! Easy discussion board, quiz and journal each week and he grades quickly. He also offers nice feedback and always sends inspiring messages to the class. Definitely recommend.
Dr. Gracia is an amazing professor and i am happy to have been part of class. His class is easy and understandable. I recommend you do your work and turn it in on time if you want to pass his class. He gives great feedback and responds fast to emails. He's very understandable and does his best to work things out in difficult situations.
Dr Gracia is wonderful! When I began this class, I had no idea how much I was going to learn about myself due to him. His job is to help you improve yourself and delivered with flying colors. Take the class! You will love it and it will make you a better student and human being. Thank you, Dr. Gracia.
Dr. Gracia's teaching style is unique and effective. He is the best I have had at the college. Dr. Gracia is very approachable and cares about your success. He goes the extra mile. I would highly recommend his class only with him. The professor is that good. you will not regret it.
Dr. Gracia is absolutely amazing! He is a firm, but fair grader. He also provides great feedback. Spectacular lectures even though they were using Microsoft TEAMS. He is also very inspirational and so passionate about his teaching. I really had a lot of fun taking his class! I highly recommend it!
Dr. Gracia was incredibly inspirational and very respectful. He was also very lenient when needed and was an easy person to talk to. I appreciated every minute of his class and have full respect for him.
Dr. Gracia is a very inspirational and caring professor. This was a difficult time for me, but he helped me from day one. He is the only professor I have had that called me when I was ill. None better than him. It was also tough at times for me because we were using a Microsoft TEAMS platform for instruction. He made it easy. Definitely recommend!
Dr. Gracia is a very caring professor, who actually enjoys his job. He is very helpful when we need it, and is quick to respond when we contact him. I believe Dr. Gracia truly cares about his students' success, and does whatever he can to help them.
Wow! This professor is amazing and every class seems to get better and interesting. The college is fortunate to have him as a teacher. His leadership skills and human kindness are amazing. I learned so much in this class. I strongly recommend him. Dr. Gracia, you're the Best. Thank you.
Dr. G was the most persistent teacher for my well being I've ever had. He kept on supporting me through thick and thin, and never gave up hope. I'm truly thankful to have had him as my professor.
He is an excellent guy that will email you when stuff is do and give updates weekly , about three assignment a week which are due at 11:59 but they are very simple and about you and your choices
If you do not take this class you are missing out. Dr. Gracia makes his learning environment very positive. Dr. Gracia is so nice! The most notable thing about being in Dr. Gracia's Class is the fact that he cares for each student. Dr. Gracia even takes the time to call his students to help them with things in the class! Dr. Gracia is awesome!!!
Prof. Gracia is one of few individuals in or out of the teaching profession worth knowing. A man with high morals that truly cares about those he teaches. There are so many positive reasons to take his class, the very first being an opportunity to interact with a genuinely good person.
Mr. Gracia was a very nice teacher. His class is very easy if you just do the work. I skipped some homework and ended up with a 'C' but I contacted him and he gave me a last minute extra credit assignment. That got my grade up to a B. : )
Dr. Gracia is a fantastic professor. He truly cares about his students. I had a question on the first day, & he took the time to speak with me over the phone about it. The course had a weekly journal, short quiz, paper, midterm, & untimed final. You should have no problem earning an A. Extra credit is offered. I highly recommend this course!
This course was great to take as one of my first courses in starting college. Dr. Gracia explained the textbook so well and in a way that was easy to understand. Our lectures were very motivating, he allowed us to give our ideas which were very beneficial to discuss. This class has been great overall, and I highly recommend Dr. Gracia.
Everyone else has said pretty much all there is to say about this class. Super easy just do the work. Here's a helpful tip. You can find the 8th edition of the On Course textbook (Required Textbook for this class) on Library Genesis for free. I downloaded it as a PDF and have used it all semester. Not worth spending money on such an easy course.
Dr. Gracia is an excellent professor. He is very helpful. Assignments are very easy and simple. Easy to pass the class as long as you do the work on time. He posts weekly announcements about what he expects us to do each week. I enjoyed taking this class.
Dr. Gracia is a really great professor. His assignments really built on the experiences of my life. He allowed me to create a structured plan for my future and set realistic goals for me to achieve. I feel that I have become a better student, but also a better person from the contents of this course. I would highly recommend it to any student.
Just wanted to add that Dr. Gracia made this class very enjoyable and stress-free and I really enjoyed the material and instruction. 11/10 instructor :) I loved Professor Gracia, he was easy to communicate with and always answered fast. I feel like I gained a plethora of knowledge I can use in the future. Thank you, Dr. Gracia
I loved this professor! He made me feel involved in the class and I learned so much about myself during the semester. His materials were super easy to use and I understood his directions clearly. He is also one of the few teachers who grade assignments quickly, which I appreciate. Take him; will not regret it. He is that GOOD!
I really appreciate that he would comment back on your work. Even if you did good and did it right be acknowledge that which made me feel good and that he actually viewed my work. I also learned a lot and enjoyed doing the work. Everything was easy to understand and was organized well. I am very grateful that I took this professor's class.
I really enjoyed this class. I never had trouble with this class. It's hard to feel motivated, but the teacher was extremely motivational. Dr. Gracia is a pretty cool teacher.
Dr. Gracia has been a great professor throughout this semester. He is fair, positive, and straight to the point. I highly respect this man and I would recommend him to any student.
An incredible professor. I took him for SLS 1101, and he's always so inspirational and thoughtful. You can tell that he truly cares about his job. He offers extra credit near the end of the semester, and always provides amazing feedback. He asks for your preferred name as well, and does whatever he can to make the students comfortable.
Dr. Gracia and the SLS course were both amazing. Dr. Gracia shows that he cares for his students success that goes well beyond the call of duty. He is someone you can talk to and makes this course worth taking. I recommend him as an instructor and I recommend this class for life in general. Trisha
Professor Gracia is an amazing instructor. He is positive, encouraging, knowledgeable, respectful, and attentive. Dr. Gracia responds quickly and provides detailed explanations. The course is educational and interesting. I wish I had him at the beginning because he has a lot of information essential to all students. The class is truly a must-take.
I am glad that I was able to have Dr.Gracia as one of my first professors this summer. I learned many hard skills and soft skills. He is the first and (probably only) professor that reaches out and answers emails as soon as he gets them. This professor is a teacher that you would never forget because he is so memorable. Thank you so much, Dr.Gracia
Mr. Gracia's a great teacher he's clear about assignments and if you want to vent you can vent to him. He even shares some stories about other students and events from his life, for that matter he even said that at the end of a course there'd usually a potluck never heard a teacher do that.
Great Class, could not have been more manageable. Grade is based on effort of work. Perfect class I could have taken for the summer.
Dr. Gracia is a very flexible professor and is very caring.
I am glad I was able to have Dr.Gracia as one of my first professors this spring term. I learned many hard skills and soft skills. He is the first and (probably only) professor that reaches out and answers emails as soon as he gets them. Dr. Gracia is a professor you would never forget because he is so memorable. Thank you so very much, Dr.Gracia.
Dr. Gracia is very fair in his grading and expectations. The coursework is easy and it is online. If you read the chapters, complete the homework, and take the quizzes, you will be prepared for the tests. The discussion boards are interesting and have actually helped me learn and understand other classmates. I definitely recommend this course.
Dr. Gracia is a wonderful professor; he was compassionate and kind, always willing to help, and really wanted everyone to pass his class. I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't succeed in this course because it is so self-explanatory. So, If you are thinking of taking this class, TAKE IT! You won't regret it!
This class was easy, mostly because of the professor. 10/10 would take it again.
Very sweet guy! Every week there is a discussion board, a few short journals, and a short quiz based on the relevant chapter or material. None of the work is difficult. You just write a little bit about yourself. Grades are given back quickly and he always leaves a nice comment on the journals! There is also one short presentation.
I loved this class. This class truly provides a foundation for success in college and life in general. Professor Gracia goes above and beyond by providing feedback on all of my work. Not only that but when I asked for advice, he took the time to schedule a call with me to offer help, even offering to write a letter of recommendation. He's the best!
Dr. Gracia is truly an amazing teacher and wants the best for all of his students. This professor goes above and beyond to ensure that his students understand the material and succeed in their studies. I would take this professor again in a heartbeat because his dedication to students' success is unparalleled. The pride of EFSC--simply the best!
Dr. Gracia was great with grading timely and providing excellent feedback. I appreciated his engagement with this course. Everything was well organized and easy to complete and understand. Would not change anything. Dr. Gracia's class has helped me a lot in life and college. He is an amazing professor. Take him if you can.
I thoroughly enjoyed my class! I learned a lot from Dr. Gracia. I know that if I need more personal feedback, I can always ask Dr. G-. Overall he was an outstanding instructor, and I certainly would recommend him to anyone who plans on taking this course.
Dr.Gracia is an excellent teacher! Even though this class is online, it still provides a sense of interaction with the teacher and classmates. His class is well-organized and easy to follow. This class has helped me to reflect on my life and goals. I would highly recommend it to other students. He has been the best teacher so far at EFSC.
One of the best professors I have had at EFSC. He is great at responding to any questions you may have and makes the class feel like a welcoming space. I am so glad that I took this course with Dr. Gracia.
I am glad I was able to take Dr.Gracia as one of my first professors this spring. I learned many skills as far as a Career and Major. He is the first and (probably only) professor who reaches out and answers emails as soon as he gets them. Dr. Gracia is a professor you will never forget because he is so memorable. Thank you so very much, Dr.G-
There are only 2 assignments a week: a discussion and an assignment. He grades the assignment harder than the discussion. They're both fairly easy though. There are two extra credit opportunities at the end of the semester that are easy and don't take a long time. Overall, good class. In addition, he's very good at responding to emails!
Amazing Professor! His class should be necessary for all. He cares about his students and is quick to respond! A good grade should be easy if you try your best on the work. I learned so much and for others to comment on how he grades, is wrong! He is fair in all his activities. Dr. Gracia helped when I needed extra time on an assignment; he CARES!
A wonderful professor! Dr Gracia always connects with his students. His leadership style is so contagious. His class is made clear and easy. You learn a lot; an A+ all the way! I am glad I took his class. I highly recommend his class. You will not regret it!
I would 100% recommend Dr. G-. He wants all students to succeed and provides his students with the ability to do so. He listens to feedback and adjusts the course to meet students' needs to improve learning. I've waited two semesters to take his class. It confirms what others say about him. Dr. G- will cheer you on and guide you to the finish line.
Please take his class. You will pass with ease and get an easy A. Quizzes are easy and the journal assignments are actually pretty fun.
He is a great professor and very clear in his instructions. the class was really simple i only got a B because i was lazy lol.
Super chill and laid back. Just title your papers and spell his name right and you'll pass with an A
An amazing and caring professor, lots of compassion. I highly recommend. His grading is easy as long as you spell his name correctly, title your papers, and actually do the work you'll 100% get an A. He's very open minded while doing discussions in class, if you take face to face class with him, so don't be nervous to say how and what you feel.
Mr. Gracia is one of the easiest, nicest, and most passionate professors I've ever had. His class is fairly easy and truly helps you to get thinking about your next steps in life. As long as you read the textbook and the announcements he makes you will never be lost in the class. I would 100% take his classes again. Make him your first choice
Professor Gracia creates an engaging learning environment. The coursework is manageable, and he's responsive to student needs. I found Unstuckstudy helpful for review and study prep. Overall, an excellent class to take.
He gave very clear instructions, emailed back almost immediately, was willing to help, gave great feedback, and is a very nice grader. I really enjoyed his class, the work was easy as long as you didn't procrastinate. It was generally two assignments per week: a discussion board (25 points) and written assignment (50 points). DEFENITELY RECOMMEND!!
Professor Gracia is just wonderful! He cares very deeply about his students and their success. He gives clear instructions on what is expected, and always gives a positive comment or helpful suggestion on assignment submissions for guidance on how to perfect one's grade. The course is not heavy at all. Content is incredibly empowering + useful.
He is a great professor. I took this as an online class, and he grades quickly and gives necessary feedback. Though i did not communicate to him directly. i could tell that he was passionate about teaching, and overall a great teacher. He did not go overboard on assignments, and it was overall a fun class to take!
Amazing professor! He grades assignments quickly and always gives helpful feedback. I took this class online, and it's one of my favorite classes at EFSC. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to improve college and life skills. Most assignments are opinion-based, so completing them each week makes it easy to earn a high grade. 10/10
