Professor Gair was the worst professor I encountered at Valencia. He spends more time trying to trip his students up with an extensive syllabus, than he ever will on an actual lesson. Has no idea that students have other responsibilities in their life besides class. Miss more than 2 classes and you are bound to fail.

This professor was by FAR the worst professor I have encountered in my two years at Valencia. Disrespects his students constantly, does not think that someone has a life outside of his class, attendance policy allows only 2 absences and everyone after will be 5points off the total grade you receive (don't get sick). My advice do not take him.

He's very passionate about his class. However, this man does NOT care about his students. I had a death in the family out of state and he gave me a hard time when I told him I needed to leave for a funeral. He also doesn't care if you have other priories. He assigns so much work but as long as you do it, it's an day A. There's no tests either.

Very easy, always something due. Show up, take notes, and you'll be amazed with what you'll learn. Funny teacher if you get his sarcasm, if you need help ask for it!!! If he doesn't help you out, let him know that isn't helping. Other than that, not an easy A but definitely not a tough one either.

Professor Gair is one of the best teachers I have ever had. I did not think I was going to learn as much as I did in this class and stay interested each class. Yes there is A LOT of work but if you do it you will pass easily. I would highly suggest taking one of his classes!

This guy could literally ramble for HOURS. Class is interesting because of the films he shows, but other than that I would never take it again. No tests ever but there is an assignment due EVERY class. Sometimes more than 1. He is sarcastic and set in his ways. If you don't go to class or are late you are "charged with an absence".

His summer session class is ridiculous. The amount of assignments takes up all your time. Wouldn't recommend taking it with other classes this will consume your time. I would understand I it was a class for a persons major but it isn't just a humanities requirement. He gets frustrated easily with student questions and no student in class feedback.

This guy is so rude and mean to his students he is not very understanding . If you do not have hours to dedicate to one particular class do not take. If you do not show up to class you will fail because there is just that much homework between work and i school i could not dedicate the time i needed to this class. If you can avoid this guy.

Tries to be organized and particular in what he wants, but leads you to confusion instead so ask many questions because he does not accept anything late! He doesn't go by all of the syllabus so be prepared to ask many questions over and over. I would not recommend this class if you have many others.

Words of Advice: Show up every class and READ the syllabus if you plan on passing. He expects every assignment to be turned in. Some are not written in the syllabus and others are only discussed within the syllabus. A minimum of (one) page paper is due every class. Not a tough grader, but a lot of tedious work. Great information on the Holocaust.

He was horrible! He was really defensive the first day, and gave everyone F's for a mistake he did. I immediately drop because he embarrassed those that had F's putting them on the spot and this was the very first day. I am a good student, but he is definitely a defensive and no tolerable teacher. Don't take him if you want a patient helpful teach

Professor Gair mixed up assignments and days in his syllabus so after the midterm we were all confused on what was due next. There is something due each class but the assignments are fairly easy. He doesn't lecture much he mainly showed videos. All in all I enjoyed the subject and I learned many new things taking his class. He's very knowledgeable.
