He's really funny, but once he made us write an essay with 18 pages, front and back. And after 2 months, when we asked if he had corrected it, he said no, because WE WERE ON A BREAK.
He's very passionate about dinosaurs. He's great with grammar. And he's quite the master of Unagi.
I loved Dr. Gellers class. Mind blowing lectures! Dr. Geller, you are definitely the hottie of the paleontology department!
Do Not Take Him!! Professor Gellar left in the middle of a semester because he went CRAZY over a sandwich. He was screaming like a maniac "My Sandwhich" in campus. Heck I think Central Park heard him. Last thing I heard of him was that he was seeing a psychiatrist and was heavily medicated. Now I heard he came back to teach. Good luck with that.
Kind of a cool guy, but always seemed distracted by other things.
Best prof ever
Wasn't too eventful
He was just really cool??? Spoke a LOT about dinosaurs. His sister was cooler tho, she popped in one time. I'm thinking of becoming a chef.
Nice prof, inspirational
My dad met him when I was a kid at some event and mistook his name as "Ron". He gave my dad all these cool relics and stuff from the museum (to which I now have) just to beg my dad to give an old employee's job back. Other than sharing the same name and passion for dinosaurs, he's pretty cool. Glad I took his class. Thanked him for the gifts. too.
One time he adjourned the class for a break. When we returned from our allotted time he started rambling on and on about how we were DEFINATELY on a break.
Best lecturer ever!
When I walked into class one day, at first I thought I had the wrong room because Dr. Geller was playing his little keyboard, and telling anyone who would listen about his "sound." I was confused because all I could hear were dog barks, lazer beams, and a loud explosion at the end.
He dated my friend and when they broke up she dropped a water balloon on his head. Classic.
Was not that great!
Yeah good class. Nice monkey.
Had kind of a hate-love impression of him. Loved his jokes and nerdiness but hated his sexist and macho attitude. Got to know he once tricked his son to abandon playing with a barbie doll. He loves tricking people in class too. Once pretended he was British and then tried phasing his accent out.
He's got a weird British accent...
You should totally attend his lesson on "divorce". He teaches from a wealth of experience and not just the textbook!
ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS AND STUPID IN RELATIONSHIPS
Dr. Geller was an amazing professor, until a few weeks ago, when he forgot his sandwich in the lecture hall. Thinking he'd never come back for it, I decided I'd keep it for myself. Big mistake. Long story short, I need to stay blocks away from the cafe "Central Perk" to avoid seeing him off campus and getting myself a bloody nose.
Enjoyable
He's friends with hot Dr from Days of our Lives!
He sat on a sleeping Professor's lap once just to get a grant. He didn't give up until the Professor woke up. He's very persistent.
He does dinosaurs' impressions. It's a valid bonus I think.
I didn't make it any harder than it already was so he gave me a C
Not only is he the hotty of the paleontology department but he also writes educational novels. #geologyrocks
came in on roller skates the first day,,, speaks in a fake british accent,,,, tries to be cool,,,,,isnt.
Talk to him about sediment flow rate, you'll be guaranteed to pass the class. Also mention that you love him. His friends like to make random appearances in lecture and he leaves with them halfway through lecture. Also beware of his fake British accent.
Loves his sandwiches, has a monkey and an English accent.
Ross Can.
He gave us homework for thanksgiving but WE WERE ON A BREAK!
He didn't attend classes because he thought we were on a break.. failed class anyway
He takes to many breaks during class. Also he faked an accent once, and that was really weird.
One time he made a dinosaur noise and it still haunts me.
He had a fake British accent and that was kind of disturbing along with the raptor noise he produced... he also got creepily touchy when anyone ever mentioned the word 'break'. Low-key think this guy needs to take a break himself (spring break doesn't count)
My name is Rachel and I don't know why he graded me as if according to his current mood. He gave me a D for the first exam after spring break when all my courseworks and attendance are all top notch. Will not recommend a professor with severe lack of integrity as this one.
Did a weird dinosaur impression, really scarred me
Very cool professor. He made us fajitas and margaritas in class once because HE WAS FINE!
Awesome class and professor
Odd guy, but he seems passionate about his paleontology. He came in with the strangest tan the other day. Said it was because the salon counted "mississippilessly". He's also really weird about breaks.
He had an accent that was difficult to understand, but it only lasted half the semester. Also his impression of a velociraptor is on point.
Dr. Geller rocks. One time, his friend stormed into class and invited us all to go see a movie. Although one time, I heard he changed a bunch of his students grades because another professor told him he was too generous.
He was late to our seminar quite often. He took my water bottle off my desk drank it and then passed out. . This is a graduate level course and it was very unprofessional. Finally realized that roller blades were the way to go, now he just falls into things a lot;
Professor Geller is kinda strange but he also knows what he's talking about. Sometimes he gets off topic and starts talking about his ex wive(s)? There are rumors that he's been married over 8 times and that he turned one into a lesbian. But the dinosaur impressions have to stop, I still have nightmares. Also go easy on the hair gel Dr. Geller
He tends to show up late and out of breath. I hear that if you tell him that you love him, he'll help your grade out. His British accent and dinosaur impressions are flawless. Most of his friends seem pretty cool. Especially the blonde lady! He got flustered at the mention of the upcoming break so he may lose it before next term. Nice guy!
Once he tried really hard to prove his point that evolution does exist and it's the only possibility to me and my amazingly smart friend Phoebe.
I heard he dates students..
was late to class on the first day and has fainted multiple times. has friends show up to his classes a lot which is a bit distracting. overall a great teacher with a confusing personal life.
Dr. Geller claimed he came up with Jurassic Park first.
Dr. Geller was an amazing teacher. He's kinda weird though. Like one time he showed up in leather pants trying to look cool and then another time he got a fake tan on one half of his body.
Mr Geller was a nice teacher but i did hear rumours about him having an affair with a student of his. He also had come to class in rollerskates and even passed out once. He is very laid back with some stuff but can be known to get heavily stressed when he is upset or no one is listening. He is very unconventional and his friends come to class.
Honestly he's a little strange. Showed up the first day wearing skates. Halloween he cam in dressed as doodie. Today he showed up to class in an Armadillo suit and told us about Hanukkah. He will also shout out "My Fajitas" when he hears a bell, then proceeds to just leave the room.
He was a pretty cool professor. However one day, we were watching clips on the projector so we would turn off the lights every now and then. When he turned off the lights, his teeth were literally glowing in the dark. It freaked me out a bit especially since he was wearing leather pants so he would be squeaking around the classroom when he moved.
Professor Gellar always seemed very even tempered, but there is a rumor he was suspended for threatening another professor who allegedly ate his sandwich. Someone saw him wandering the halls talking about a "moist maker." That phrase alone makes me uncomfortable.
You will do fine as long as you have Unagi.
He really likes his dinosaurs so much that he thinks he created Jurassic Park. He likes to speak in accents so if he breaks out into a British accent, don't be alarmed, just remember Unagi or you can just Pivot. Also sometimes you will see his friends but don't worry they were on a break.
Very talented at make dinosaur sounds. SUPER WINY!! He ranted about his love life all the time and how ThEY WERE ON A BREAK! His friends came to a lot of the lectures. One friend is creepy & is always asking me how Im doin. Another friend came in wearing a raw turkey on her head. He also showed us "The Routine". Lame dude.
He's a total hottie
Interesting professor. Took him online. Our only assignment was to watch jurassic park and review it. To his surprise that wasn't my favorite movie. He argued my review was bad. So I dropped.
He came in on rollers mates on our first day, then passed out!! Although appart from that he's a pretty great teacher. Except for shouting at me for not doing an essay on thanksgiving- we were on a break!
My Dad Paul Stevens didn't like him very much...
I'm British... but I feel like he's not. Maybe he's Canadian? Man I don't have a clue. He's kinda hot tho.
Sometimes whines about "being on a break". But overall good.
He has this obsessive need of making everyone agree with him... and over pronouncing every single word after which he says there is nothing wrong in speaking correctly.
He switches accents and has a weird hair cut, but you can tell he really loves his job.
Dr. Geller is really great and extremely passionate about paleontology, but he was always talking about "taking the mesozoic era into the 21st century" and some Dr. Charlie Wheeler. Also, whenever the class started to get loud, he was always do this weird thing with his hand to tell us to be quiet and keep it down.
I would say it seemed to be a difficult class, but honestly if you just kinda show some interest in him he'll propose to you and give you an A. I think he does that a lot. I'm a lesbian and he still proposed. I don't even know what's going on.
Woo!!! Go professor Geller!!! Friends!!!
He is awesome
I loved Dr. Geller's class. Mind-blowing lectures. Dr. Geller, you are definitely the hottie of the Paleontology Department!
Be ready to write 18 page paper, front and back. I heard that he is happily married and have had three kids now. His friends live close by NYU, and have invited us to their apartment once. Clearly they have some really weird Halloween tradition. Highly recommended if you want to see his hot sister.
I heard he will date students, so that could be a good thing. He also will not give homework over the holidays because we are on a break.
aside from his excessive hair gel use, Ross was a pretty neat prof. His english accent faded half way through the semester, which was weird. Sometimes complained to the class about his 3 failed marriages, but otherwise he was a cool dude. 10/10 would recommend
I once asked him if we had to do any homework during Thanksgiving break. He yelled "No, its called a b-r-e-a-k!" Seemed sensitive. Really tough grader on grammar. Its a Paleontology class.. like, what? He's cool tho.
It was an okay class, pretty sure he was dating one of the students though...
Doesn't give you work on the holidays because he understands that you will be on a break
It was ok
He's pretty cool. H's given more chances on my assignments than he has on his marriages.
He was a pretty awesome teacher, real caring like, wore his heart on his sleeves. Sometimes got us to do weird thongs like learn how to spell mboscodictiosaur, not even sure if this dino existed. Likes to bring food to class but DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT eat this food. Super possessive over food, especially after thanksgiving.
Easy on the eyes but kinda weird - he instructed us to talk amongst ourselves as he made a phone call. He introduced himself as Vikrum in a Middle Eastern accent and said he was in his kite making studio.
Required participation
cool teacher. Had a really weird British accent. i heard it was fake. His friends always interrupted class asking about movies but besides that it was a fun class. when we came back from thanksgiving break i asked if we had homework and he yelled "WE WERE ON A BREAK!'
Really cool because he doesn't give homework on breaks, but freaks out if you even look at his food the wrong way
Professor Geller gave a lot of lectures but his friends would come interrupt the class a lot. Started off with a British accent and half way through it went away. Dated a blonde girl in our class and went on spring break with us!!
Umm... don't EVER steal his sandwich... Yeah... He always did that weird "unagi" thing in front of the class... weird dude
He's a great professor! So personable and kind.
He is hilarious. I've always loved his funny classes, especially the one where he told us that he was the first to get the idea for Jurassic Park.
overreacts when you date his ex.
I turned in my term paper and Dr. Gellar gave me a great grade. Later I decided to share my findings with the class and he looked at me and said, " That is wrong and I don't agree with your findings." I asked why he gave me a great grade and he replied that he didn't actually read the 18 pages front and back!
Thought he was kind of weird with the accents then a blonde woman came storming into our class yelling "ROSS ARE YOU CRAZY WE'RE STILL MARRIED?"... thats when I knew he was a weirdo.
I don't think anyone loves dinosaurs as much as Mr. Geller. Also, I'm pretty sure his accent is fake.
He's really cool and I really like him. The only weird thing is that my name is Emily but for some reason he keeps calling me Rachel.
He seems like the kind of guy who has some cool friends
He once gave a class wearing roller blades. That was very funny. He wasn't very comfortable with them
If there was one takeaway from this class is that Prof Geller came up with the idea of Jurassic Park first. His lecture on this was short and intense and I would have liked to know more but he was cut off by his blonde friend inviting us all to the movies. It was a good movie.
accidently took one of his classes once. got an A+ on his pop quiz
Ross is a great professor, and if you're failing just tell him you have a crush on him, it worked great! till another kid ratted me out.....
I saw him once, in a coffeeshop called Central Perk kissing a waitress. That's when I realized that he have a better life than me.
ohhhh ross geller
Looks a little like a white Drake.... likes to give homework ON BREAKS... (not cool) since it is called a break.
I love this teacher
I love this teacher the best inspirationist of univers yes maybe the better researcher :))))
Definitely the hottie of the paleontology department.
I feel like we all learned something from Professor Geller. I just wish he kept his fake accent. That was a real gem.
We got to be such good F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
He's very kind and he really makes sure you understand the material. He even imitates dinosaurs when talking about them. Clearly very passionate about the subject. I heard he dated a student though...
Professor Geller gave me a B on a paper that I'm pretty sure I deserved a better grade on.. after comparing with a couple other students who felt the same way we noticed that all the Bs looked the same and looked like they were written rather quickly. I think he was trying to get grading out of the way so he could make love with his girlfriend.
Je suis étudiant à Paris. Il est mon professeur d'archéologie. Il parle beaucoup de ses amis, de sa femme Rachel et de son ami Joey qui a gagné un oscar.
Best teacher ever!! So funny and awesome! So cool too because he roller blades to class and even showed our class what he thought this specific dinosaur sounded like. It was weird because he did have a British accent for a hot minute but then it kind of "phased out." He has such a passion for what he teaches and is always willing to help!
Great
At first I was failing his class, but I lied and said that I couldn't focus due to my "love" for him and he gave me an "A". It would have worked for the whole class until my buddy did the same trick and Mr. Geller caught on to us.
I honestly loved Professor Geller. The guy really really loves dinosaurs. My only issue is that he once gave strange glances when I was eating a sandwich in class (after Thanksgiving, I think) .He literally kept staring at me and seemed REALLY angry, as if I took it from him. Maybe food isn't allowed?? Other than that, I'd say take his class!
Dr. Gellar is... very odd. On my first day he ran out of the room on the phone screaming "WE WERE ON A BREAK" in the middle of introductions. He's a bit sexist, always uses the "not all men" line, and he constantly thinks his students are flirting with him. It's really awkward. The class was a lot of busy work... Take it as a last resort.
Cool and kind professor, loves dinosaurs. My only issue with him was that he randomly talked in a British accent. Also, weird things happened during class. Like, one time, this woman came running in and yelled at Dr. Geller about the fact that they were still married or something and another time a woman asked if we wanted to go to the movies.
Pretty easy grader, just tell him you love him. But definitely DO NOT fool around in the library when he is there.
Overall Prof. Geller is a great guy and really cares for his students. He just seems to have his off days and he can give a weird impression. For example, on the 1st day of class, there wasn't enough desks in class so I had to bring one from another room, but it was too big for the doorway and he kept yelling PIVOT PIVOT PIVOT!!!
Dr. Ross Geller was an amazing professor. I really enjoyed learning about dinosaurs. However, when i tried to reach him via email and he never responded, I asked him about it in class to which he responded with "WE WERE ON A BREAK." Do not email Dr. Geller over break. He does not like that.
Great teacher. Really knows how to relate the Mesozoic Era and teach it so it isn't absolutely boring. The monkey really got on my nerves however. Who brings a monkey to class?
Great professor. I didn't care much for dinosaurs but his passion shines through. Easy A if you're flirty. Also I heard he has really cool connections, apparently he's friends with some actor from tv. Be warned though, his wife tends to burst into class and he sometimes put on a fake accent which was odd.
Professor Geller is so unintentionally hilarious. He started the class off with a fake english accent and his friends regularly come in and crash his lectures, usually to yell at him... His lectures can get a bit boring but I learned a lot in his class. And plus he's definitely the hottie of the paleontology department!
Love Dr. Geller but he was so hard to reach outside of class! We had a test right before Christmas and when I asked for my grade he yelled "WE WERE ON A BREAK" which is true but still annoying.
He was a great professor in the sense that he is obviously very passionate about paleontology. However, there were rumors that he was dating one of my peers, Elizabeth. Not really sure what happened there. He's cute in a dorky kind of way I guess.
This dude was a hoot.
This guy is super funny! And so are his friends. Once this blonde chick came into his class claiming she had an important question, it was if he wanted to see a movie. Dr. Geller said she was being rude and she apologized and offered the class if they'd also want to see the movie. Definitely would take again for more comical stories like that.
Very amazing teacher. Has a passion for paleontology and made the class fun. He always made the class interesting, like using a fake accent at the beginning of the semester and relatable(dating a student). There is not another like him.
He always had a clean haircut, kind of annoying, really cared about students.
Really knows his stuff about paleontology. But, he seems struggle with the concept of being on a "break."
He had an awful british accent but his class was funny. One day, we were in the middle of our class and a blonde woman came in and started yelling at him for being married to her. I learned that being marriend will ruin everyone's day. He also dated my friend but broke up with her after playing water baloon fight. Overall, great professor!
Went on a lecture in a British accent once. He had a very funny personal life.
Prof Gellar is great but he's really strict with some things. He wouldn't let me submit my paper after our deadline but I didn't do it before because we were on a break. Don't mention not doing homework over breaks he gets really flustered and yells but otherwise solid choice.
Probably one of the best polentologist I've ever met. Definitely recommend going to his office hours. He has a hot plate in there so it's a good place to warm up and have him show you pictures of his two kids.
Very good professor. He was very late the first couple of classes until he bought himself a pair of skates. His friends kept visiting us in class and one of them was nice enough to invite us all to the movies. His classes are long and there are no breaks! But on the plus side, he's hilarious. If you want to laugh, take his class!
Took his class for 10 years, would do again.
The best.
You should be fine as long as you have unagi
Dr. Geller taught me so much about dinosaurs. Highly recommend his class.
I want him as my professor, as long he doesn't plays bagpipes like there's a funeral happening on the streets
Was failing his class, so I made up a story that the reason I couldn't concentrate was because I was in love with him. Sucker bought it, and raised my grade!
I love you, dude!
Prof Geller is certainly enthusiastic about dinosaurs. In case he ever asks, YES - he did come up with the idea for Jurassic Park first. Also, I question his actual knowledge of palentology; his last few papers were highly criticized and refuted by his peers. Either way, he's fine. Just don't let him catch you texting, even if you're on a break
Dr. Geller is a funny and knowledgeable guy. The only textbook really needed is the one he wrote; it is on the fifth floor of the library so you don't need to buy it! He's a big fan of breaks so don't expect a lot of work when they come around. Favorite professor yet!
Dr. Geller is a professor that I aspire to be like.
One time he did an impression of a dinosaur. I had to look around to make sure other people heard it and that I wasn't trippin balls. My friend told him he was in love with him to get a better grade on the midterm, so I tried it too. Didn't work for me.
Definitely the hotty of the paleontology department
Loved Dr. Geller! However, I accidently ate his turkey sandwhich and he failed me. Just make sure to double check the food in the fridge before grabbing.
he's a cool guy I guess
He's cool. Study and you will do well. Has a strong English accent but nothing crazy
He's great.
He's a hot paleontologist professor and definitely one of those prof you can't forget. Earlier today I saw him making out in the library... weird
He is very dorky. I remember one time he came to class with rollerblades and a woman barging in and saying that they're still married
Hilarious guy
Not exactly aware of the Title IX. To be a prof. you not just need content knowledge., you know.
Did a fake British accent in his first few classes. Hilarious!
definitely not on a break.
If my normal professor was that HOT I'd fail the class on purpose for the sake to see professor MCHOTTY
Dr. Geller is one of the worst professors I've ever had. He slept with another student, his friends come in during lecture, he yells at people for no reason, and he changed my grade from an A to a C ON THE FINAL POSTING. He gave one of my papers a B, but didn't give any feedback. He's also never in his office during office hours. NEVER TAKE HIM.
Dr. Geller is one of NYU best professor. he is hilarious when teaching. There was a rumor he dated a student, i mean hes hot i wouldnt say no;) easy A class! a must take
So me and my sorority sisters just sat in the back and dreamed of who would marry him. I was about to make my move when some chick ran in and said "We're still married?!" So I waited because Kappa's aren't home wreckers
Great class and great teacher. loved every bit of it. Only problem i had was that he assigned a quiz due online while WE WERE ON A BREAK. who wants to take a quiz during thanksgiving? Now i just have one more reason to add to my list of why thanksgiving is the worst holiday.
he fainted in class once because he rollered blade to get there in time.
I am a Bio major and took his class as elective. I don't understand why people have been picking up on him this much. I think he is a perfect teacher and extremely enthusiastic about his professional interest. He grabbed our attention by bringing rock - skeleton pieces from his collection and asked us to name them in each class.
Fun guy. I am pretty sure I saw him dancing on MTV yesterday! and the hot chick from our class too. I hope that was a coincidence though.. Good teacher overall.
One of the best proffesors i have ever had!
I love this guy!
Prof Ross Geller is a most amazing professor I ever had.
Got to see his lecture on sediment flow rate before he was hired on and just knew I HAD to take his class! Total hottie
He just came in on the first day, late, and just passed the hell out. Then the class was over so we all just left him there. But every after that was fine. I hear hes better than that weird English teacher.
He dated a student which was kind of weird. He is obsessed with dinosaurs
I loved Dr. Geller's class. Mind blowing lectures. Dr. Geller you are definitely the hottie of the paleontology department.
He was ok
Great teacher, lectures get kinda boring after awhile though.. One thing is his friend Phoebe rocks!! She came in to our class one time and offered to take us all to a movie! His friend Rachel seems a bit cuckoo, she came in one day and started freaking out and yelling at him- something about an annulment. Seems like he has some personal life.
Dr Geller is the most inspirational professor i have ever had. he is almost never late and even sometimes teaches with different accents. he tells stories of his expireiences of his journey to china which is the highlight of my day. though, he does complain about his personal life a lot and goes into detail about how he loves this girl Rachel
I took his online (netflix) class on dinosaurs and it was fine.
He told our class about the one time he went backpacking across Western Europe.... the next thing I knew I was in bed... with him.
Professor Geller was a great teacher... Too bad NYU fired him back in May 2004, days before his tenure was officially approved. I'm glad so many former students are sharing their memories of Ross Geller. But don't feel bad for Geller - he has a hot wife. And word on the street is that he became a TV director and directs TV's Dr. Drake Ramoray.
The following is brought to you in living color, only on NBC. The one with the outstanding professor. Must See Tv. We Peacock Comedy
Rumor has it when he was getting married he said the wrong name during the vows... can't confirm but he sometimes rants on about his group of friends.
i love ross
I transferred to NYU just so I can have Ross Geller as my prof. He's such a legend! I ran into him on the 5th floor of the library and found out he wrote one of my favorite paleontology books. He's a great prof.
I love it when he PIVOTS from topic to topic.
I was on a break when he was teaching that semester :(
I love his velociraptor impression.
He taught me 'Unagi' but then, he went on a break. :(
Honestly, so funny and passionate about the topic.
i'm gay. he thought that i fake my feelings for him to get a better grades. but i'm not. i'm in love with him. i know its FORBIDDEN. but it's hot
Best professor ever. He talks about his multiple wives all the time. And makes crazy impressions. EASY A
Professor Geller was always there for you when you needed him. Even though he started teaching us with this weird accent that came in out, he was the best teacher. Ive never learned so much on dinosaurs. Although after one argument he contemplated changing his whole view on life and science instead of just realizing the girl was messing with him
Professor Ross is super super cute. I like his British accent in particular. his lectures are kinda boring tho. his wife is hot
Took paleo in my soph year at NYU. Really wasnt my year, but prof Geller was there for me.
Funny teacher but I didn't do very well in the class. He says he can't live without his students but turns out he has class With or Without You.
Great at teaching and very passionate about everything but kind of a weirdo. Dude came into the classroom running while heavily sweating. He even passed out. When he came back to his senses he just kept hissing at us saying he was FINE.
One of the smartest individuals I have ever encountered. Unfortunately, he is also a bumbling idiot and does nothing but talk about this "Rachel" woman. Knows everything about paleontology, Unagi, and divorce law. I just wish he would teach me to play the keyboard, instead of the dinosaurs of the Cenozoic era. STOP THE BRITISH ACCENT DR. GELLER!!!!
He was a tough grader and assigned a lot of homework. But he was very helpful and funny for most of the semester until he started complaining about some Rachel girl right in the middle of class. He once shouted to all of us after ranting that she and him were apparently on some break. I just wanted to hear the lecture, not about his personal life!
Deserved the Gellar Cup, even withbswolen glands
Being in Dr. Gellers class was one heck of a ride. His voice may come off a little dull when you meet him, but BOY do I have stories from his class. At one point his wife (or something... idk the whole story, sounds wild tho) came in yelling that he lied about finishing the annulment of their marriage?? Memorable times for sure! Lots of laughs too
It hadn't been my day, my week, my month, or even my year but Dr. Geller was there for me
Can he BE anymore professory.
Great professor but on some days he came to class late. On day one, he got there very late, on the second day, he must of ran to class cause he passed out before he could get a word out. On the third day, he came in on roller blades. If you like a weird professor, go for it.
Got a B since he wanted to make out with Professor Wheeler instead of read my paper. Not sure what kind of rationale this is, but he was my only choice. Avoid at all costs.
By far the greatest class Ive ever taken. The material is beyond boring but hes such a cool dude. Sometimes leaves in the middle of class to go to a coffee shop called central perk? I dont know pretty weird but overall a great class
Best professor
Dr. Geller is probably the best professor i've had at school. Only weird thing is his fake accent. He also showed up on roller blades once. interesting dude, interesting class experience. It was pretty difficult so i think i'm gonna go on a break after taking this class.
Dr. Geller was an amazing professor. He really knows what he's talking about, and let us go to his museum exhibits for extra credit. However, he spoke a lot about his daughter Emma and about some lady who he's not really married to named Rachel. Also, some weirdo with a guitar named Phoebe preformed in class occasionally. Strange, but memorable.
very passionate about the subject, aside from the dinosaur sounds and fake British accent he would sometimes play the keyboard or bagpipes in class.. just make sure to not make grammatical mistakes on the paper because sometimes he would correct students with YOUR or YOURE overall pretty easy A
only prof that brought bagpipes&a keyboard to class. extremely passionate about dinosaurs demonstrates how they sound always there for you outside of class&truly cares about students taught us unagi .. however make sure not to make grammatical mistakes/eat a turkey sandwich/mention anything about a break in class he gets pretty upset about that
Dr. Geller is an interesting dude. He gave me a new perspective on dinosaur sounds. Always encouraged breaks during class unless it involved a student named Rachel. He kept getting this girl Emily mixed up with Rachel but other than that he was great. We already are always entertained by his drama. Overall a great man and an entertaining class.
He is a real gem
He gave me a D for inappropriate comment I gave to his turkey sandwich.
I absolutely adored Professor Geller. It was by far the easiest class I have ever taken. He is sooo funny. He even had nicknames for everyone! Mine was Cutie McPretty which is funny because my name is Liz. I wonder if he will read the evaluation I sent in. <3
Good professor. Not a great person. He dated my friend (who was his student) for several weeks and even went on her spring break trip. But then he dumped her for being immature?!! We water ballooned him though
When studying for a test he told us to use something called Unagi idk weird he also gave everyone a B on the last essay even though one girl wrote like a page only
Funny professor, but was sort of weird, demonstrated dinosaur noises and instead of giving us a study guide/chapters to study in textbook, he told us to use unagi and we all got a B. Dont make grammatical errors or mention anything about a break or the name Rachel or else he gets really worked up.
He's a good prof. He's passionate, but he kept on yelling at me for eating his sandwich???????
Class was boring, I really needed a break...
Hard to understand with his accent, which was heavier some days compared to others?
A great teacher! Would take again, but he's kinda weird... one time his friend came in and offered us to go with her to the movies and he told us we couldn't join. Also, a woman came in saying he was still married to her? I didn't know he was married! I thought he said he was on a break, but great teacher overall!
Prof Geller is certainly unique. At the start of the term he had an interesting accent. A few classes later it seemed to wear off. Maybe he just got used to our culture. I found it a bit strange, and was going to ask him about it, but he only wanted to answer questions about paleontology. Don't miss class, because he gives a great slide show!
Great professor but some strange class days, definitely keeps it interesting with his "special guests"
Best professor ever in paleontology. You are the best Ross
He's hilarious and an amazing professorteaching skills are a little questionable though. He's passionate about the whole dinosaur stuff. His accent is also really weird which makes his lecture kind of confusing sometimes since it comes and goes... Also, there were a few women come into our classes sometimes. Seems like he has a lot going on lol
Took his class based on so many great reviews here. Liked the content, but he sucks at OH. All he did was sit on the phone with his girlfriend pissed about some Mark dude! I mean had questions about how to interpret the taphonomy of skeletons & bonebeds, & the possible biases taphonomic events w.r.t. fossil records. Take Dr. Wheeler instead.
Hes very fun and inspirational. Accent was a little weird but by the end of the course it wore off, so I guess it wont be a problem anymore. He came to class in roller skates for a few weeks as well and that was pretty fun. Overall quite fun
Good professor! A little unprofessional but who isnt? love love love
Amazing lectures. Funny. Dedicated.
Horrible!! Spends half of the class talking about his three divorces! Avoid him at all cost!
I didn't need this class for my major so i wasn't paying attention on the first day. Once he started to phase his accent out it was hilarious . He seems to have a very sad personal life, one woman came in screaming how they were still married. Boy did that lady rip him a new one!
Ross Geller is annoying. Tbh thats basically it.
I told him I love him and he gave me an A, but somebody ruined it by telling him the same thing so he changed my grade back to its original. I wouldn't recommend taking his class because his lectures are boring!!
professor geller is superrrr passionate about dinosaurs, he even made velociraptor sounds. hes either super hilarious or boring. i think his personal life gets in the way of grading because he gave the entire class a B on an essay. But he did give a couple kids extra credit who told him they loved him
He's a total hottie! Take the class, just so you can look at his face. I dated him briefly, pretty good kisser. -Elizabeth
The first class after Easter vacation he asked why I hadn't submitted a response to the articles he posted. All I said was we were on a break, and he totally flipped out on me!
First day of class he was ridiculously late. Something having to run across campus from his last class. Literally walked in and introduced himself and the bell rang. Plus sometimes he talks in British accents. Theres also a rumor that hes in love with a male student and bumped up his grade because of it
I dont know about this guy, I always hear him in the hallway randomly screaming "UNAGI"! at people behind their back. STAY AWAY
Professor Geller was so warm and passionate about dinosaurs! Lots of homework during break, lol.
An awesome professor, even tho hes one of the toughest ones for the toughest subject of mankind. There are two girls in my class, one named Emily and the other one Rachel. This professor has a habit of confusing their names together. He has such a passion for dinosaurs and has a huge thing for this absurd concept called UNAGI !!!! LMFAO !
A really good professor.
Loved him, very funny! He used to bring in his capuchin Marcel as a guest lecturer.
A few times he looked like hed sprinted across the city to get to class. And his accent was super inconsistent.
I don't think he was a real professor because you can't be a professor at that age.
He gave us a lot of homework during Spring Break. WE WERE ON A BREAAAK!
Only took this class because I heard that if you told him youre in love with him that hell give you an A, he also passed out one time when he came to class out of breath, showed up in roller skates too. Heard he got caught having sex in the paleontology section of the library too
Weird accent, ok guy
Even tough this professor Geller gave a lot of homework and a tough grader, he was late to a few classes and came in on roller blades. He was very knowledgable about his topics but sometimes I could not understand a few things he said with his infrequent accent.
Amazing professor! His classes are really good and easy to understand. The professor is a funny and comprehensive person. However, he is not the most normal person... One day he started screaming in class, for no reason, the sentence "we were on a break".
He got that BDE!!! If you know you know
Amazing teacher!
Is an amazing teacher just had a very weird thing happen in his class some crazy lady came in with this Irish accent but other than that amazing!!!!!
Idk lmao is he from friends lmaooo
Didnt learn anything new, the dinosaurs are still extinct.
Proffy R.G. is the MAN! My only complaint is that it was on online class with over 500 students but he still expected participation.
Professor geller was very old school and to the books kind of guy, although he made some funny remarks, his class was kind of boring
He was okay, but he broke my eardrum by screaming MY SANDWICH near me :/
Class was good and all but when I approached him about my first paper (which I failed btw) he just assumed that I was in love with him or something. Very strange. Nice guy though, attendance/participation matters
Dated him for an A+, and then dumped him. Simple as that!
love him
He didn't show up to my graduate lecture until the last minute where he came in sweating and out of breath. What a waste of time and money.
I chose recent mboscodictiosaur findings for my final paper and he told me I should probably PIVOT away from this topic.
Nice imitations.
You can always find Prof Geller out in Central Perk with a group of people around the couch. My friend Elisabeth told me I can go out with him for extra credit. He is really generous with grading so I wouldnt worry about it, however he might random select someone and cross out the grade. So good luck.
VERY accessible outside of class I came to this page to see if anyone else has this idea. Yall did not disappoint. #JustPivot
Hes surprisingly ripped and is pretty decent on skates
Just all in all a great professor
Professor Geller is the hottie in the Paleontology Department.
Dr. Geller is an amazing paleontologist! I enjoy participating the Dino Forum, which helps me with both geography and biology! However, once his ex-wife rushed into our class and said something about getting divorce, no wonder Dr. Geller is so attractive, he must have much experiences in marriage!
Dr. Gellar is a wonderful professor. Took this class as an elective. Things were going great until Thanksgiving break after which he ghosted us.Heard he was taking some time off but haven’t seen him on campus since.
I told him I was in love with him and he gave me a better mark on my midterm!
He is amazing and easy going also funny sometimes.
He loves dinosaurs and always pivoted during lectures. He did like to teach about this weird phenomenon "Unagi" as well as, of course, the dinosaurs. Unagi is the state of total awareness. He once came in to class as the "Holiday Armadillo" which was hilarious and added a fun element to the lecture. He was teaching his son Ben about Hannukah!
Thank you Dr.Geller
amazing guy. long live professor geller.
Looks so good in his tight little turtleneck sweater.
Good professor. His accent was a little weird, but once you get used to it, it seems to not be noticeable anymore. Really passionate about dinosaurs. Easily distracted if you bring up Thanksgiving leftover sandwiches or divorces. Would take his classes again.
His knowledge of Rachel is somewhat scattered and spastic, but he did eventually get the point across. Primary lesson: "We were on a break" is not a valid reason.
Enjoyed the class. Professor Geller really loves dinosaurs. Only negative was i kept imagining him as a giraffe during lectures.
He is the best
He is the most wonderful person
Great profesor! So inspiring
Dinosaurs rock!!!
He was very nice!
After I threw his sandwich away, he decided to ramble on for 18 pages. FRONT AND BACK.
Prof. Rossatron has an inconsistent accent that'll make you snooze, but he's cool. He's passionate about dinosaurs. However, he often goes on tangents about his 3 failed marriages and how he gave up a career in basketball. He once held a really fun concert with his friend Pheebs. I'll never forget the song about the grandma in Peru or "Smelly Cat".
Quirky professor but lectures are engaging. Try unstuckstudy ai alongside the textbook for helpful study prep. Attendance is mandatory but worth it - just stay off your phone.
He's single and ready to mingle.
I missed a test because I was in the bathroom and he said it was fine since we were on a break. I called him Professor Hottie and think we might go on a date (if my dad is ok with it!)
very nice!
loves using accents. had a weird nickname for everyone! funny guy love how he brings his friends into class.
Good charming professor
He's nice enough, but I can't understand why he is still a professor at this school. Has a reputation for dating students. Maybe it's only “frowned upon”, but I thought that it was forbidden, wrong, naughty, and taboo.
my least favorite prof because he dated my friend Rachel and then cheated on her. But I like his pet monkey that he brings to class.
現在誰是傻子
This guy just helped me get engaged with Rachel.
He definitely knows his stuff when it comes to paleontology. The passion he exuded regarding the mesozoic era is next to none. He did go on a tangent about a sandwich once. What was that all about? Either way, if you want to learn about paleontology and how the dinosaurs came to be and stuff, Geller is the guy.
He is a best
The best professor in the world
amazing dude make sure u call him DOCTOR ross geller.
