One of the worst professors I have had. First, after lecture he makes you retype your notes and submit them for a grade which is worth 20% which is annoying because all students take notes differently and it is hard to take notes when all you do is stare at excel spread sheet. Also, no explanation for grading which makes it difficult. So yeah...

A lot of assigments, discussion, project every week. Reduce your grade for not participate enough in the project.

Dr. Biehl is very deluded when it comes to his expectations of his students. He believes that his class should be one of the most rigorous in your schedule even though the material is not overly difficult. The discussions feel pointless because no one tries on them. I don't blame them. If you want to learn, take this class in person.

Dr. Biehl's online class was primarily focused on discussion and a video project he had us do. We had a homework assignment based on calculations about once a week, and this prepared us for the midterm. However, he did NOT prepare us for the final or give us review, causing many people to have low or even failing grades. Few clear grading criteria.

Requires a ridiculous amount of discussions for his class. This is a statistics class not a writing class. It takes several hours to complete these discussions. Following the rubric to get full points (i.e. to get full points you need 2 posts and 3 replies) makes him upset because you're doing the "bare minimum" and doesn't give full credit.

I took him for Statics and Probability for engineers and its supposed to be a math class yet we have to write 4-6 discussions a week plus math homework of course. He's one of those professors who thinks their class should be your top priority and when you have to work and have other classes it's hard to have these types of professors.

The course's online, so the time's flexible. I don't like how this is a self-taught course with minimal professor's involvement. What's the point of paying professors of such courses the same as professors who spend time teaching and explaining everything? Self-taught courses such as this, should be free for students. He is rude btw.

Anybody who says this class is well structued is kidding themselves and probably used Chegg for everything. Ive taken about 35 college courses, and this was the worse. I have had some bad profs, but this guy takes the cake. His course makes very little sense, he never teaches. That said, its online and you can get away with using chegg

He assigns a ton of work every week. One week I had 3 discussion posts, 2 assignments, 2 classwork activities, AND a big project deliverable. He gives a lot of essay questions. He grades very harshly and there's no rhyme or reason to his grading. He demands your entire schedule and then gets offended when the class can't keep up. AVOID THIS MAN

Easy A class. Everything is online. He is not organized and play psychology game with the students . The class have too much work, but easy work. Make sure there is no plagiarism cause he will give you negative gardes 3 times the original grade of the discussion, He love to give negative grades so be carful other then that you should get A.

Professor claims to love statistics but does very little to teach them at all. Lots of reading, all actual learning is self-directed, hilariously massive amount of banal discussion posts required. Moreover, professor requires a video project presentation. If i wanted to edit footage no one was ever gonna watch I would've signed up for film not EET.

There's so many unnecessary discussions with people just saying the same thing over and over. Then, he expects you to come up with a "thoughtful" response for multiple people in each discussion. There's also a video project that is just... SO unnecessary That's it. "Unnecessary" is the perfect word to describe the amount of work he gives.

If you love writing essays every week and replying to human Chegg bots all-day, then please take this class! It's ridiculously easy but a pain. You learn absolutely nothing, the class structure is horrendous, and this guy should quit his job and start a book club instead, since he loves reading the same Chegg regurgitated garbage 400x a week.

This guy thinks this class is Gordon Rule. I probably wrote more bs here than I ever though I would. His "lectures" are horrible and the work is absolutely useless and will add nothing to your life. An easy A if you know how to bs essays professionally. It is kinda sad since I really enjoy the topic and this guy managed to ruin it...

This class requires a ridiculous amount of work. You'll write more in this class more than in any other classes you've taken. 4 discussions every week plus 2 responses each due at 9 PM, so 1200 words each week. Also, I learned nothing in statistics but writing. A final project includes creating a video and a flyer for it without any guidance.

He has no lectures and the class is heavily dependent on the book. A lot of required discussion posts every week. He also doesn't make any announcements and instead makes updates in a discussion post that is rarely seen.

YOU MUST AVOID THIS GUY. He is literally condescending. He has taught nothing just upload some unhelpful clips. Tons of reading and homework every week, and tremendous semester report which is ridiculous. I almost wrote 90 pages for this homework. He does not like question, he is always combative when it comes to a question from a student.

Professor Biehl is knowledgeable on the subjects he teaches but is terrible professor. You will do more work for one of his courses then you would for 3 others put together. The cherry on top is after all of that hard work he will still give you a terrible grade. He gives hardly any instructions and then makes you feel dumb for asking questions.

He did not adopt equality environment in the class nor clear view about class content. His comments always changed about same work. If you good in writing and talking , you better take him. This professor is not for engineering major. He should teach philosophy or something like that. He gives more useless discussion . He should retire.

No rubrics or helpful grading criteria. He expects you to read his mind in order to succeed in the class. (Spoiler alert: nobody can read his mind)

Get ready to suffer the whole semester. Extremely long papers and ZERO explanation of what he wants. Extremely tough grader and no extra credit. Make sure you attend to class, surprise quizzes and in class assigments. Not willing to help students if doubts and mostly group projects.

Worst professor you can ever take such a wast of time

Worst professor u can take

His narcissism knows no bounds. Had 3 discussions and a project to work on every week except one or two in between. Multiple surprise quizzes with the most unbalanced grading. Thinks his class is the only one we take. Doesn't have clear speech and instructions, outright awful but unfortunately higher in the cecs pecking order.

Awful professor, I got a B but I was at a 94 just 2 weeks ago. In the span of 2 weeks multiple surprise quizzes and bad grading brought me down a letter, I won't be surprised if there's people who got C right now had a low A before as well. Spoilers: He wants you to know everything a professional knows, wacky expectations. Avoid if you can.

Gives useless feedback doesn't have a grading criteria and expects students to do well

AVOID HIM IF YOU CAN I believe that the professor has no idea what he's doing honestly, kept giving us a one hour quiz for a month I believe cause he had nothing to teach also the average of quizzes was about 30%!!

For most work in this class, you will receive a set of instructions, even if you follow these instructions exactly it will not guarantee you a good or even decent grade because there were actually hidden instructions locked away in a secret compartment that is located inside Professor Biehl's brain. The only way to unlock this is by being Biehl.

In other classes he taught-if you did the work you pretty much got an A. This class is different. His expectations are unclear and I spent the whole semester guessing. Our class resulted in a lot of failed quizzes and even a failing avg final grade. Good luck-try to build up your grade to prepare for the end (hopefully get exempt from the final).

Difficult to understand. Doesn't put in effort to ensure student understand what is needed to be done, In his quizzes and tests all averages are horribly below passing grade and he still blames the students.

Professor Biehl is definitely not passionate about what he does and the last rating was definitely wrote by professor Biehl him self lol

Yoo the average of the final exam was 35% and this guy still says Iam passionate of what I do.

Want to stress your self for 4 months and still get a C and maybe fail, your welcome to take this professor.

I worked on this class more than I did for my other 4 classes and still got a C only because I did bad on 1 exam

This guy will take all ur time unbelievably how much work he gives.

Horrible professor and I hope he reads this. Not sure what happened to him but recently he went from being a good professor to absolutely awful. The problem this professor has is that he lacks introspection and empathy towards engineering students. *ran out of words so continue in next post*

I really think a big part of this is that he lacks an ENGINEERING DEGREE, so he could not understand the difficulty engineering students are put through with all their classes and internships. Its not the 1980s so learn to adapt/change and lose the flip phone.

Dismissive. Abstract. Unclear. Condesending. Arrogant. Non-compassionate. Bought PHD from online college! Biehl is a terrible professor and doesnt care about your performance, he is always right! He doesnt read through entire submissions when grading, doesnt provide substantive feedback, doesnt acknowledge or act upon any concerns from his students

2 weeks into the semester and there are 2 reports based on critical thinking, 4 discussions based on reading, 2 assignment redo's, and a quiz due all in the span of 3 days. The redo's are assignments where he said we did enough and then gave everyone except for 2-3 students 0. Also argues and passes demeaning remarks to students.

Do not take him, his grading is the worst. We were a week in an everyone already had a n F or -F. If he doesnt like your homework or projects, which he never likes, he will give you a 0 or the minimum even if you turn in a very well-made paper. It is mostly writing than actual facility learning. Just avoid him if you can.

If God told me in order for me to enter heaven, professor biehl would be my cross, I would have just started walking to hell. Good luck future students

I wouldn't be surprised if he actually used a random number generator to choose your grade. Basically all assignments got below a 50% average, and that's being generous. Never gave actual feedback just very vague lessons which were given after assignments were due lol. As soon as you think you understand something he'll just change his expectations

Condescending and clueless. Needs to take his own class first before teaching us.

rated this class hillarious because I had the whole systems engineering department at work laughing at the material I learnt from this class

He gives out a lot of work. It wouldn't be an issue if there were clear criteria on what he wanted, but there isn't. He doesn't really teach past the first week. He brainstorms in front of you mostly which isn't really conductive to learning in my opinion. Most people won't fail, however.

I wish he had talked more about stocks and flows

He has a bachelor's in Philosophy so expect exactly that a, philosophy class: insane amount of reading, insane amount of writing. Definitely odd for an ENGINEERING class.

Horrible Professor

This is one of the worse professors I have ever had in my whole academic career. This class has me doing several page projects and had them due within 2 weeks of each other. Got grades ranging from 10-50% and once asked about my grade. No feedback was given. I would rather shoot my balls off than take this class again.

This is the worst class I have ever experienced. He requires weekly readings from three different textbooks, 3.5 hr weekly lectures, 2 - 30min weekly supplemental videos, 4-6 weekly discussion posts with 2 reply's per post, 2-3 assignments with 2 reply's per week, and a semester long project in which the average grade is a 30%.... Don't take Biehl

There are a lot of discussions due per week on Wednesday by 9 PM which is just not realistic for full time working students. The project which is worth majority of your grade is so harshly graded that before we talked to the department head, majority of the class was not going to pass. He gives little to no explanation for his grading.

Stock and Flow, diagram-driven class. Focus on that cause nothing else matters

Biehl is the worst professors I have taken at UCF. He has one paper that you have to write over the course of the semester and does not provide clear expectations. When each iteration of the paper is graded, he will give you a bad grade without any feedback on how to fix it. It became a paper in which he cared more about quantity than quality.

Avoid at all costs. This professor does not want their students to learn the material. There is so much work that you will never get an opportunity to actually interact with it. This class is the embodiment of barely treading the water before you drown.

No clear grading criteria. Absolutely the hardest professor. Will also take the chance to demean you if you give it to him.

The class is conceptual in nature and he looks for specific words or interactions within systems. He presents basic systems such as a local library, but then expects a group project on a complex system such as city waste mgmt. His rules and work expectations are not always clear. His grading is all over the place. Would not recommend Biehl

online class is bad
