By far the hardest grading Public Speaking professor in the department. Getting an A is extremely difficult regardless of how hard you work, whereas in other sections of the exact same class, the students were graded much more fairly. This is a required course for all freshmen business students, and is consistently everyone's lowest grade.
Yes, he's an extremely hard grader, but he wants to push you in order for you to succeed. If you do what he asks, he takes notice and will give credit accordingly. It's good to be pushed once and a while, and I definitely became a better public speaker. If you want an easy grade, don't take him. If you want to be pushed to do well, take him!
Yes, he is a hard professor. He has high expectations, but he rewards hard work and I really did grow so much from the class. He has good intentions and everybody's best interest but the class will push you. I take that as a great thing because I feel that there was long-term benefit behind taking this class. Overall, I recommend for sure!
I took Mr. G's COMM 1313 class recently and it was a cake walk. There are 3 thing you have to do in his class: take quizzes, give speeches, watch speeches. His grading is extremely generous and he even offers extra credit throughout the semester. Show up to class for free points. Mr. G is very nice guy. You won't be sorry you took his class.
Mr. G works with you if you are out of town or have a University conflict. He really looks out for his students. When writing speeches, try to almost copy his outline with your own topic. You will get more points that way.
Mr. G was so understanding about any issues that popped up during the semester. He is so easy to work with and genuinely just wants you to learn. He doesn't let you completely blow off the class but you definitely don't have to strain yourself on material.
Such an amazing professor so incredibly caring and the material is very easy. his exams are super easy no trick questions, pretty much vocab words from his powerpoints. you can miss 4 days of class total and he keeps attendance by clicker points. some harmless hw and an end of semester "research project". super easy to do MUST TAKE THIS CLASS
Mr. G was one of my favorite teachers. He was so easy to work with and really wants to see you succeed. If you have to take pubic speaking, definitely take him!!
Attendance isn't mandatory, but there's usually a reading quiz which can add up if you miss a few. He's a nice guy and works with you to make sure you're prepared, if you have to take public speaking I would take him!!!
Mr. G is a wonderful person and professor. Public Speaking is something that makes many business students leave the program, and he doesn't make it easy. That being said, he does make it fun and YOU can make it easy, provided you participate in class, pay attention to feedback, and see him during office hours if you're struggling.
Don't be scared off by any of the comments you read here. Mr. G. is incredibly kind and caring and you will not have any problems obtaining the grade you need/want in the course. Their are no exams, just a few easy quizzes, and you just have to show up on speech day and give him something - that's it. Plus he brings treats on speech days!
I had a blast in this class! I have no idea what the comments about this being a difficult class are about, I didn't have any issues at all. Mr. G. was very caring and had a great sense of humor that made the class fun. The workload was light which was great because it gave me the chance to focus more on my other more difficult classes. Must take!
Super easy class and you'll actually learn a few things too. I was terrified of public speaking but Mr. G. put all those fears to rest and helped me build my confidence as a speaker. If you have to take public speaking take this class, you won't regret it. Mr. G. is always happy to write letters of recommendation, etc. if you need too.
Mr. G is a G!! If you have to take COMM1313, I highly advise taking Mr. G. He genuinely cares about your grade in the class and improving your public speaking skills. He grades easy if you show you're putting in effort. He tries to make this class as easy as possible for you; just show up and do your work. Definitely improved my speaking skills
If you need this class, TAKE MR. G. His tests are very straightforward and if you study at all, you'll get an A. He truly cares about his students and is even willing to meet with students on the weekend. I can't recommend him enough. Take him!!!
Took this class for a philosophy credit and it ended up being my favorite class. SO interesting and eye opening. Mr. G is one of the best professors I have ever had. He cares about each students understanding and is truly passionate about what he teaches. He pretty much goes over the study guide in class. The test comes straight from the lecture.
Mr. G is the best. Everyone is terrified of public speaking at first, but this actually ended up being my favorite class this semester. Got super close to my classmates and I enjoy messing with Mr. G and getting to know him. He's absolutely willing to do whatever he can to help you get an A.
Literally the best teacher I've ever had. He really cares about his students and gives the best feedback. He is always available to help you do your best in the class. I dreaded having to take public speaking but it honestly was so fun. If you have to take this course Mr. G is your best option!!!
Best professor ever! Mr. G cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He's always willing to help out and gives really useful feedback. Basically, if you go to class and actually put effort into your work, you'll get an A. If you have to take a public speaking course or even an elective, you need to take this class!
Mr. G is so great, he really cares about you and you will get an A if you just show up. The lectures can be boring but the class is very easy. Don't buy the textbook
I took this class over the summer and online which I believe was his first time teach online. The class was made graded on a journal, sharing ideas, quiz's and a final. The final was weighted pretty heavy. The professor comes off ass helpful. I feel it is a step up from easy but doable.
This dude rocks. I had the opportunity to take him during the COVID-19 Semester. So I have had him as both an in-person lecturer and online lecturer. This man gives so much grace to his students. If you don't get the grade you want, you really should not be in college. As an engineer, his class is very nice and refreshing.
my favorite professor and class ever, class is so easy literally just show up and take notes. his lectures are very interesting and he has a class structure and is so smart. easiest and most entertaining class ever!
I took COMM1233 and it was unexpectedly one of my favorite classes ever. Mr G is super knowledgable about the class and makes his lectures very interesting. Attendance was mandatory with clicker questions. He prepares us very well for exams, tells us exactly what to expect, and really wants us to succeed. He is a great professor and a great person!
I took Mr. G during the COVID-19 mess and he handled things incredibly. He likes to communicate with students. Talk to him and send him emails! The class is easy. You dont need to have the book, but go to class. The tests are worth a lot, but youll pass if you pay attention. I really enjoyed this class and will take Mr. G again in the future
MR G is AMAZING and I recommend him highly for anyone needing to take a Humanities core class. He has a dry sense of humor, which I loved. When we moved to online format for the rest of the semester, his lectures were super detailed and you could tell that he really cared about students doing well during this strange time.
I absolutely loved Mr. G, 10/10 would take his class again. I hate public speaking but he made it bearable, he wasn't a super hard grader and is super understanding of any personal issues you may have. If you have the chance to take him, do it.
(Taken online)His lectures are really well put together and the lecture quizzes are really easy. He provides a lot of resources to help you writing your speeches, including a whole example speech for each speech of the semester that you can use as a guideline. Super good feedback on speeches too and he grades generously. Great class overall!
undeniably the best public speaking teacher. everyone wishes they would have taken him. great teacher, great guy.
You only have to do a couple things in this class to make an A. Show up, take quizzes, give speeches, and watch speeches. We are online this semester due to COVID and he has been the best at adapting compared to other teachers. By far the best at reaching out and building relationships amid a pandemic. Hope to meet him in person some day.
Mr. G is a truly amazing professor. He will work with you on everything and wants to make sure every single student succeeds. For this class he made it very easy to get an A so long as you did everything he asked for in your speech and you tried your hardest on everything.
Professor Gliszinski is one of my favorite teachers that I have ever had. I recommend his course if you need an oral comm credit. He has earned an honorary chili pepper.
Took Mr.G for public speaking and he was probably one of the best teachers ive ever had. He cares a lot about his work and students and is very understanding with grading and late work. He wants you to be more successful at times than you even want yourself to be and makes a real effort to help every student get the grade they want out of the class
Mr G was amazing! If you have the chance to take a class with him, definitely do it. I took his media literacy class this semester and it was online. He set up the class in a way that was very easy for students to do well in and also makes it interesting! Hes the best!
Mr. G is seriously the best! I am taking him right now and the class is very easy and straight forward. Take notes and you will pass.
Took honors public speaking fresh. year. Great teacher! His lectures were simple, yet you got the info you needed for quizzes (they were easy btw). Gave good feedback for speeches, & he knows how to use tech, so if covid's still a thing don't worry. Definitely inspired me to become a better speaker. Show up to class, he'll be a little more lenient.
Great professor. Very clear on grading policies, due dates, and gives reminders of upcoming assignments frequently. Weekly lectures and quizzes, with occasional assignments and discussions, but all pretty simple. Exams are straight from the lectures. Easy A as long as you take notes during lectures and study a bit before exams.
Mr. G is a super cool guy. His lectures are pretty interesting and if you take notes from the lectures, the lecture quizzes are straight from there. Exams are a little tougher, but if you use his study guide and your notes, it will be pretty easy. He gives extra credit and is super clear on grading criteria on due dates. Take this class!
PERFECT TEACHER. easy A... quizzes every week but its just all straight from lecture. Tests are all from notes and lectures too.
Mr. G is one of the best professors you can have. He is always there for his students and really cares. He is super clear with his instructions and tries to make sure everyone knows what is due and when. He is very accessible and wants the best for the students. I highly recommend that you take his COMM1233 class.
Mr. G was so awesome! Made remote class super accessible and convenient, and prepared us 100% for every exam. Honestly, if you have maybe 3 brain cells, you should be able to get an A in COMM 1233. Super easy and pretty interesting as well (I took it for my humanities requirement). Would absolutely take another class with him!!!
Great professor, grades generously. No trick questions or difficult material, content on tests is directly from powerpoint lectures. Just take notes and you'll be fine.
Best humanity class out there. This professor truly cares about his students. He continued to reopen assignments, curve exams, and give extra credit opportunities for the entire class. Exams are just like material from lecture and he stresses the point that he does not put any trick questions on the exams (which is completely true). Take him!!!
Best teacher I have had all of college. He cares about his students and they are not just a number to him. He genuinely wants students to enjoy the class and learn. 10/10 recommend, made public speaking fun.
Ryan is a very good teacher and he makes sure his classes are difficult enough that you have to put some effort in but easy enough that you won't have to devote a large portion of your time to his class. One thing I wish was more prevalent in his class was accessibility to notes and powerpoints online. It would help a lot with note-taking.
Professor G. is an amazing professor! This class is a very easy course if you come to class and take good notes. Lectures are very clear and easy to follow, and Professor G. is always available to help when needed. Professor G. does not give very much homework at all and truly does the most to make this course an easy one for all of his students.
Mr. G is a really good professor and cares about his students. He makes the class not boring, but the class is VERY lecture/notes heavy. Test are a little difficult, because there is a ton of information on each test. If you study enough, you'll get a good grade on the test.
Mr. G is one of the best professors I've ever had. He genuinely cares about each of his students, and he makes his class interesting. I would take his class over and over, he is incredible and I can't say enough good things about him. Easy A, and a professor who will seriously warm your heart.
Mr. G was an incredible professor! You can tell he genuinely cares for his students and loves his job! He gives plenty of extra credit, prepares you well for exams, and each class was SOOOO interesting! Attendance was not mandatory this semester, but I think it is super important in order to do your best since he does not upload recorded lectures.
My fav teach/prof I have ever had! His lectures were always interesting, attendance was not mandatory this semester yet I hated to miss a class! I came into the semester majoring in comm and his class/teaching inspired me to get more into advertising. His class was an absolute joy! He provides everything you need to succeed in his class.
Mr. G is one of the best professors I have ever had. He is caring about his students and wants them to succeed. This class was an easy A, but also interesting, I enjoyed going to his class and hearing about what he has to say. He reminds you of the stuff due in his class and he is clear about what he wants in assignments. Definitely take his class!
Hes a really good teacher! really cares about his students and about what he is teaching! Would 100% recommend
Ryan is a great professor! He understands and cares about his students and he will go above and beyond. Being an athlete he really works with my meets and sporting events! He is awesome!!
Great professor, always willing to help!
Real nice dude, did a lot to make the lectures more interesting and cam super prepared to class everyday. Always felt like he was there for me and wanted me to pass. The work load wasn't too bad but just enough to where you needed to put effort in and learn the information.
Mr. G has made an impact on me this semester in a way I never thought was possible from a professor teaching an intro level course. He has been really forgiving and gracious during this semester of uncertainty. He is a great guy who has a really big heart.
He does not post recordings online so you have to come to class, but it is worth it. Favorite professor this semester .If you study you can get an A on the tests. Lots of opportunities for points and bonus points. It is not a hard class and is defiantly worth taking 10 times over. He makes his lectures very interesting. Not a single boring lecture!
I made an account on Rate My Professor just to tell you to take Mr. G's class if you get a chance. He is the absolute best and loves what he does. You don't have to go to class, but he will make you want to. Seriously awesome.
This professor is easily one of the best teachers I've ever had. He was able to take material that could've been boring and made it extremely interesting. I look forward to every class. He's clearly very knowledgable about the subject, his lectures are very well organized, and he is so friendly and willing to work with us so we're successful. 10/10
Attendance was optional this semester (COVID) but you must attend every lecture because he does not post slides or lecture content online. Tests, quizzes, and assignments are very straight forward and incredibly easy to complete if you take good notes. Smart and funny guy, I would definitely take another class of his in the future!
Great professor, makes class interesting. Would 100% take him again if i had the opportunity.
Mr. G is probably one of my favorite professors that I have had here! Also I LOVE this class! It is so interesting and I have encouraged many of my friends to sign up for it next semester! Media community and citizenship has my heart and will forever go down as one of my favorite courses I will/have taken in college! You won't regret it!!
This is the best professor I have had in college! He is attentive and truly cares about his students! I hope there is another class I can take taught by him!
Mr. G was absolutely amazing! He loves teaching this class and cares for his students! This class really helped open my eyes. Media, Community, and Citizenship will forever be one of my favorite classes!!
Best teacher I have ever had in college. This content could be boring/difficult one to understand but Mr.G makes it interesting and clear. His teaching style is amazing with no surprises. No unnecessary busy work is given. If you take notes/get notes from lecture you will no doubt make an A on the exams and quizzes. Would 100% recommend taking.
Hes been gracious with due dates this semester and very empathetic towards students. Hes clear about the goals of this course. Material learned the day before is briefly reviewed before new content is lectured. Always reminds students about what is due and reviews the agenda each week. Let this man get his bread!!!
Mr. G is one of my favorite teachers I've ever had in college. He's so good I regret skipping class as much as I did. He genuinely cares about his class and his students. His curriculum is geared towards the real world. His tests are built to test your knowledge, not to trick you. You're dumb if you don't take Mr. G, you're missing out.
AMAZING!!! I wasn't very excited about this class at the beginning of the semester but it's now one of they favorites. If you actually go to class and do the work it's an easy A. he tries his best to help everyone he can and is super funny in class. I love his lectures and will be sad to leave his class this week. YOU'RE AWESOME PROF.G!!!!
Mr.G is such a caring teacher. You can just tell he loves teaching this class and is very passionate about it. His lectures are genuinely interesting, and It was the only class this semester I enjoyed going to. He truly cares about his students and their grades. This was an overall amazing class taught by an amazing professor.
Best professor of college yet. The most understanding prof I've ever experienced. Knows his stuff and cares about his students. Makes the content engaging and leaves you wanting to learn. Would recommend this class and teacher to anyone.
Mr.G is intelligent and possesses a lot of information that you would be foolish to miss out on. He doesn't use a textbook at all, and it's even more refreshing to listen to unedited, truthful history that many people don't know. Through his teaching, he helped me with my social media addiction and realize my full potential. Take him.
I really loved taking Mr.G's class this semester. He makes the lectures engaging and the material is thought provoking and good to know. You will make an A if you take your notes and submit all the work. He does not want to trip you up and only wants to help you pass.
Mr. G really is a good professor. You have to take notes because he does not post his slides anywhere. There is a lot of information you have to study for the tests, but he does give out a lot of grades throughout the semester that really help.
Class is very lecture heavy but I loved Mr. G. if u take good notes and study for the tests you will get an A. One time he dissed Taylor Swift but then a couple weeks later he played Tay before class so he mad up for it.
Thought this class would be an easy elective that I wouldn't have to worry about... Well that was the opposite, I did more work and studying for this class than my own major classes. Definitely wouldn't recommend if you are looking for an easy A. He is nice and cares about what he does which was a good thing, but I would not want to do this again.
Mr G. was a great professor to have this semester. Lectures are interesting and he gives great examples of concepts to help you better understand. Study quizlets for the test and you'll do fine. He gives lots of extra credit throughout the semester and engages with his students really well. Take him!!
The only negative thing I have to say about this class is just the note taking. I wish he posted his powerpoints online because sometimes while taking notes you miss something. I understand that posting would discourage people to come to class, but it would be helpful. He's nice! Take the honors section if you can, he will think you are God
I loved him. He made class so easy, very clear what would be on the tests, & his lectures were very straight and to the point. Definitely take him and go to class, and it's basically a guaranteed A.
A fair professor, not too much homework, the homework is easy, create quizlets for exams
Mr. G is an amazing professor! He is extremely knowledgeable about the content he teaches. He gives you a study guide with clear topics so you know what to expect on the exam. Quizlets or a handwritten study guide will be your best friend for the exams. Go to class, take notes, and you'll pass the class with flying colors!
Great professor that cares about his job
Class is very straightforward. Mr.G is a younger professor; he is laid back and just study for your exams through notes and quizlets, and you'll be good. Lectures are beneficial and interesting. Great class if you're going into business, helping you learn more about handling media.
Mr. G is an actual straight g. Super nice caring guy who truly wants every one of his students to get an A. Attendance is mandatory but a lot of the lectures are actually about interesting things that you will start to realize in your day-to-day life. Offers extra credit at the end of the year. Overall loved this guy.
He is a really nice guy with a passion for the class. The only grievance I have is that if you are sick and have to miss, you must have a doctors note. I dont think its fair because going to the doctor costs money and if I have the stomach bug, I dont need a physician to tell me that.
Mr. G. is amazing. Truly a gem of UARK. He cares and wants to teach you. The lectures are interesting and so applicable to real life. If I could take this course every semester I would. TAKE MR G he is an angel!
Mr. G is amazing! He is very accomodating and easy to reach. He does lecture, so I would take notes. However, the lectures are not boring and he is very well-spoken. He is prepared for class and always explains the material that is most important. Lots of easy assignments to add points to grades as well. Highly recommend!
I love Mr. G!!! He is super understanding. Although attendance is mandatory, he gives you more than enough excused absences. All you need to do is show up and take notes. It is very lecture heavy, but he gives you plenty of time to write everything down. 10000% would take him again!!!!! There is also extra credit opportunities and fair exams.
Mr. G was an awesome instructor. Everything he does in engaging and with intent. As long as you attend class and take ample notes, you should get an 'A' in his class. He is not trying to hurt your GPA, he truly just wants students to learn about media literacy. He was also accessible outside of class, as well as accepting of late work. Loved him.
I am a Public Heath major and took this class because I needed an easy elective and I am so happy I did!!! Come to class, pay attention, make a quizlet for exams to study, and you will get an A in the class. The lectures are extremely interesting so its not hard to motivate yourself to come to class. Mr. G genuinely wants you to succeed.
Mr. G is the BEST and this is the most interesting class I've taken at UARK. I like getting up to go to this class because I always leave with some sort of new cool fact I learned that day. Overall, this course is great and Mr. G does a great job of teaching us and making it interesting. Put in effort and you'll pass with flying colors.
Mr. G is one of the best professors I have taken at UARK! He genuinely cares about his students and will give you the tools you need in order to succeed in his class. As long as you attend class and take notes, you will be fine. I highly encourage this class.
Mr. G was a great professor. He gave study guides and expectations for tests and worksheets. The worksheets are easy and straightforward. Attendance is required (a clicker is used), but you can miss up to 6 days of class. Mr. G responds to emails quickly. If you go to class you will do great in the class!
COMM 1233H was one of my favorite classes! Mr. G is one of the best professor's I have ever had, and is passionate about all things media literacy. You will never be confused as to what is expected of you. He is very informative and so are his lectures are easy to follow. Definitely take this class if you need a humanities or honors credit.
Mr. G is great! Your grade is test heavy, but you can easily pad it with worksheets, daily clicker points, and documentary reflections. Tests are closed note and over a lot of content, but he gives a study guide that helps a lot. He is super understanding and ready to work with you!
Mr. G is a great professor! I would 100% recommend taking this class. He is very passionate about the class and making sure everyone comprehends the information. He creates exam reviews that clearly portray what the test will be over, and is not there to trick you. There's a clicker but you are given enough passes to suffice for the semester.
One of the most good-natured and passionate instructors I have had. I feel like I am talking to a person, not a professor. And that ironically makes the course and content more engaging. His class is broad, and I didn't always find the topic exciting, but he is congenial, and his lectures are compelling. Definitely take his class!!
Professor Gliszinski was an extremely good professor. He is very understanding, passionate and knowledgeable about what he teaches. He will help you succeed. Come to class, take good notes, and study hard. Tests are online, proctored, and long. It is a lecture-based class but it's interesting information.
Best professor at the U of A that I have had so far. He is so understanding and knowledgable about what he teaches. He truly wants you to learn and succeed. His class was the one that I was motivated to attend to learn. If you see this, Thanks Mr. G!!!
such a fun guy and he is super nice. He is straight up with his notes and lectures and does not try to trick you at all on tests. I would 10/10 recommend him!
Super easy class! There are attendance points, but you can miss 6 days without it effecting your grade. Weekly homework assignment and 3 or 4 exams. Just take notes during lecture and study quizlet for tests and you'll make an easy A. This is great if you need a low stress class in your schedule.
Mr. G, is in my personal opinion a very well versed instructor of this classes materials, concepts, and applicability of this class. As a presenter, Mr. G. has very good communication, excellent in-class support, and encouragement. This has been a outstanding class that has left a very strong impression on my mature intellect. Thank you.
Mr. G is one of the best professors I've ever had! He wants everyone to succeed and is super understanding and accommodating. Enrolled in the class just because I needed to take something, but I ended up really enjoying the content. This class was very interesting and I recommend for anyone to take it with Mr. G, no matter your major!
If you want to do well in this class, you have to go to class and take notes. The tests are all based off the notes you take. He is a pretty good lecturer and the content is very interesting. However, if you are looking for an easy A class, this may not be the best one just because of how much work you have to put in.
Mr. G makes class super easy and he is willing to help you by discussing study strategies and anything you need. If you just go to class and take notes then you'll get an easy A. Just put in the effort to study and Mr. G will get you through the class
Mr. G was an amazing professor! I definitely recommend taking him. He cares about his students success and will not try to trick you. Just show up to class to get the notes and youll be set for the tests!
Mr G is awesome!! I would take any other classes he taught. Super flexible and understanding! Take him!
Mr. G was by far one of the best professors I have had at the university. His lectures are interesting and he bases the weekly quizzes off of the notes. I would definitely take his class again. He is also very understanding of outside conflicts and works with you to make sure you have everything you need to succeed.
Show up to class. Write down what is on the PowerPoints (nothing more, nothing less). Easy A. Be warned: NO LAPTOPS ALLOWED Attendance is not graded but is required to do well. If you have a good reason to miss, email Mr G and he'll arrange for you to access lecture recordings.
Professor G is so awesome, as a freshman in college I was really nervous about the transition but he made this first semester so smooth for me! He is very clear on what is expected for assignments/homework and exams. Show up to class and take GOOD quality notes in order to do well in this class. His lectures are great and very interesting.
I love Mr G! His lectures are super interesting and he is really good at explaining concepts. The tests are really not hard at all if you study your notes- and he tells you EXACTLY what you need to know. There are no trick questions on exams which makes them not bad at all. He does not take attendance and offers a few bonus opportunities to help.
Mr.G is an amazing teacher. He never gets distracted from the content and is very knowledgeable. He is very understanding when it comes to assignments. He makes this class very doable and painless, we had 7 total "worksheets" and a lecture quiz at the end of each week but each are easy points! Overall really enjoyed this class!!
Mr. G is a very good professor. He is straight to the point and will not waste your time. As long as you go to class and take nots, you will do very well and it should be an easy A. Would take him again.
Mr. G is a good professor and his class is very easy, just come to class and take notes! The content is actually interesting.
Very good professor does his job very well explains everything very clearly while keeping students interested. Very easy going. One of the few classes I actually enjoyed going too. I have no complaints, would recommend Mr G to anyone.
Mr. G is a fantastic professor and I love his method of teaching. I really recommend taking media, community, and citizenship. It was very interesting and was also a lot of fun to go to class. He doesn't post the notes on blackboard but instead shows them during class to encourage attendance. Hand-written notes.
Mr. G is the Top G. The ultimate Sigma. He is simply just that guy. Mr. G lectures like nobody's business. He makes lectures as equally entertaining as he does interesting and informative. Would 100% take any class led by Mr. G.
Mr. G is the best teacher you can take here. He is a great professor and an even better guy. He cares about his students and the material that he teaches and it is evident. His lectures are always interesting and he always makes references that everyone can relate to that keep the students engaged and the lectures entertaining. 10/10 Recommend
Professor Gliszinski is top tier. We go through slides and take notes. His tests are easy if you study, but it's not hard material. It's memorization more than anything!! There are many opportunities for bonus points every week! Sunday he has lecture quizzes, but you can use your notes. Highly recommend taking. I enjoyed his class!
Really great professor, clear and easy paced lectures. Attendance isn't required but matters because all material you'll be tested on comes from the in person lectures. Worksheets are quick and easy to complete and material is actually interesting and useful.
I love Mr. G! I would definitely take him again. His class was interesting and I liked coming to his class. He's very nice, a good grader, and gives good feedback! Definitely take him if you can!
This professor is great. Great mindset, which is more important in a professor than I realized prior to this semester. The class is worth waking up for.
Amazing professor! he answers emails quickly, helps you succeed and cares about what he is teaching. This class does not require attendence daily but I highly suggest going and taking notes. He tests you exactly over the material we learn in class and does not try to trick you on exams. Professor G is a king and everyone is so lucky to take him!
Ryan Gliszinski Is one of the best professors I have ever had. The material is actually interesting and applicable if you actually listen. He is a very relaxed guy who gives you time to take notes, which are short and to the point. A very cool guy, who is knowledgeable about a lot which makes lectures very entertaining. I Enjoy going to his class.
Biggest thing about this professor is his strict policy on phones but honestly it has been helpful to not be distracted and helps me soak in the information. The tests come straight from the lectures. Very straightforward and easy tests if you just pay attention in class. I would take it again.
Mr. G was extremely caring and willing to help if you ever need anything. Although I did not enjoy his notebook-only note-taking policy, he is an extremely fair grader and cares about what he is teaching. His lectures include videos and interesting pictures which make the class more enjoyable.
As long as you go to class and pay attention during lectures its hard not to do well in this class. He has a few worksheets or weekly "reading quiz's" which take less that 2 min max. Great teacher willing to work with you on any issues you may have.
Mr. G is a good professor. His content is pretty easy to understand but his test are very hard. Though there are other opportunities for points; Writing assignments, Weekly quiz's, and occasionally extra credit.
Mr. G is probably the best professor I have ever had. The way he structures his class really sets him apart from anyone else. All of his lecture slides are very structured and organized. It's easy to write down everything and he teaches at a perfect pace for students to understand. He prepares everyone for his exams and they are very fair.
Mr G is an amazing professor, and he really cares about what he teaches. This is a super easy class if you show up and take notes. There are attendance points and weekly open-note lecture quizzes, but they are very easy. There are also a few exams, but Mr G makes it clear what will be on them. I highly recommend taking this course with him.
Great professor! Lectures were very interesting and I enjoyed them. There are weekly lecture quizzes so it is helpful to attend class everyday, but they are very easy. There are also worksheets about every other week but also easy. This class is the perfect balance between easy and critical thinking. Overall, loved this professor and this class.
Mr. G was awesome, I learned a lot of cool things about the world in this course. Try not to miss class because he takes attendance, the lectures may be a little slow but if you go and take notes it makes the tests very easy.
Mr. G is fantastic. He is very professional and informative and definitely knows what he's talking about. Just show up to class and you'll be just fine. The only grades are weekly quizzes, a handful of homework assignments, tests, and attendance. Take his classes!
Mr. G (what he tells you to call him from day one) is an amazing professor. I took this class to fill my schedule with an easy 3 hour and I got just that. Personally have spent about 2 hours studying for the entirety of the semester. However, this class is not boring. It teaches important/useful information in navigating the tech/media we use daily
Mr. G is a great professor! I took this class for my minor but actually ended up really enjoying it. The lectures can get a little repetitive, but some of the content is actually really interesting. Mr. G is a very kind person and you can tell he is passionate about what he teaches on. Very understanding and willing to help you in any way he can!
Mr. G is a great professor who is super easy to contact outside of class. He responds to emails very quickly and is understanding if you submit assignments late. His classes are lecture heavy and require a lot of note taking, but he makes the lecture interesting and engaging. He also usually lets class out 10 minutes early. Definitely take him.
Mr.G is a good professor and takes time to make sure his lectures are efficient. The information itself is interesting most of the time. The only downsides to the course are that sometimes the lectures are kind of boring and he takes attendance every day so missing classes can really add up, and the exams are more difficult than expected.
One of the kindest professors on campus. Great clear slides for lectures, and always gives out extra credit. He is very understanding with absences, but still try to make every class. If you go, you will hands down get an A in this class.
Homework: EASY worksheets almost every week that take a couple minutes to do. Exams: Very easy if you go to lectures, just asks about definitions that were covered during class, review lectures before exams. This is a pen and paper only class, meaning you can't take notes on your computer, but he goes slow enough to make it easy to stay caught up.
Mr. G was an awesome professor. Attendance isn't mandatory but he gives lectures in class that you take notes on that can be used for the weekly quizzes. Exams are proctored but are not hard, all of the information comes from his lectures and notes that you take. He gives extra credit, and the information in class is interesting.
FANTASTIC lecturer!! He makes his lectures actually entertaining, which is great because it's a lecture-based class. You have to go to class to get the notes, he doesn't post the slides. Tests and homework are super easy as long as you pay attention and take good notes! Super funny and cares about his students! Love him!
Mr. G was such an amazing professor. It is truly so hard to find college professors that genuinely care about their students. Attendance was mandatory when I took it but he is so accommodating and understanding if you need to miss!
Mr. G is a fantastic professor, I wish he could teach all of my classes. I love his teaching style, he requires only handwritten notes which I actually ended up liking, helped me to focus in class. His PowerPoint are easy to understand and he takes his time explaining everything on the slides. Would recommend taking this class!
Mr G. has to be the only professor at UARK who stands on business
Mr. G is a amazing professor. his lectures are engaging and to the point with very little extra information that we are not tested on. His slides are a great outline for notes and he hints at what will be on quizzes and tests. His tests are straightforward and are not meant to be tricky. There was a multitude of bonus opprotunities.
This class isn't too hard, but it's more challenging than reviews suggest, mainly due to comprehensive Midterm and Final exams. Attend class and take notes for exam success. Grading includes weekly homework, quizzes, reflections, and exams. NOTE - to ensure a B - go to class take notes and use those notes to take the weekly quizzes and homework.
I took media, community, and citizenship. Super easy- no homework, no textbook. Attendance isnt required as long as you get the notes somehow. 2 tests in the semester and they are straight from the slides. He gives lots of other assignments to help boost grade as well as extra credit. Lectures seem pointless but at least the class is easy
Mr G is the GOAT. Literally love his class and his teaching style a bunch. We use pen and paper to write, and it actually so helpful to pay attention in class and remember the notes I took. Such a great teacher who cares for his students. Easy class with a couple of worksheets, weekly quizzes, and 2 exams. Easy elective and a great teacher. 10/10.
Mr. G is a super chill prof. He makes his class as enjoyable as he can make it. If you want a somewhat easy class to earn you some credits definitely consider his comm classes! All you need to do is show up, take notes and you will be set. Not difficult whatsoever. Weekly quizzes are used to track your attendance, still so easy.
Great professor I actually enjoyed the content as well as the way he lectures. You do have to show up to class although attendance is not mandatory ALL questions for lecture quizzes AND tests come from the notes. His lectures are not difficult maybe a page or a page and 1/2 per class. Super easy A if you go to class and take notes.
Ryan Gliszinski is an amazing professor. I signed up for this humanities class just based off the reviews on here. I took this class online & actually really enjoyed it. Mr. G really cares about his students and wants them to do well. He even lets you take the tests using your hand-written notes. Interesting class and easy A if you do the work!
Mr. G is a G. Great teacher
Mr. G is literally a G. I hadn't been in school in over ten years. Mr. G helped me to feel welcome and any questions I had he was super helpful with. Highly recommend!
He is amazing and super cool and a great professor! I definitely recommend taking one of his courses!
He's so nice and easygoing and cares about his students
Prof G is great - makes the class enjoyable and easy. Just attend, take notes, and you're set. unstuck AI was also super helpful for quiz and exam prep.
Professor Gliszinski is very kind, and provides all the resources to be successful. Attendance is not graded, but he does take attendance, and don't go looking for extra credit if you have never attended class. His tests and quizzes are very simple, and he provides a test review with each topic so you know what to study for.
This class was very interesting and eye opening! Doesn't post lecture slides so you have to attend class, but the slides are very clear and organized. The exams are fairly easy and very similar to the lectures. There's a lot of open note quizzes, but they're easy and short. The professor is caring and funny. I would definitely recommend this class!
Mr. Gliszinski was a very chill teacher. He allowed me to re-do all assignments that I did not do or did poorly on. He was very supportive of me.
Mr. G is a G. Class is easy and you actually learn something about media and how it is all around us. Only a midterm a midterm and a final that aren't too bad. Take him.
Mr. G is one of my favorite professors I have had at the U of A. His class is very lecture heavy but as long as you go to class and take notes you will do well. He is always encouraging class conversation and loves to answer questions. I would recommend his class to everyone.
Mr. G is a great Professor that really cares about the class and what he is teaching, if you go to class and pay attention you will have zero issue getting an A on this course. He is very approachable and easy to get in contact with, also just a nice dude who really cares about his students.
He was amazing at how he taught the material and was really relatable. You have to go to every class and take handwritten notes or you will miss the material, but other than that you'll pass just by going to class and paying attention. There was 1 small quiz due every week, 1 homework every other week, and 2 tests.
I loved my class with Mr. G!! He is so knowledgeable!! And made the Information so easy and intresting to learn! Only have midterm and final for tests! and assignments every week! And you have to come to class to get notes and no tech allowed but class goes by fast!!!
Attendence is not mandatory but there is a sign in sheet and he doesnt post the lecture slides. every week there is a lecture quiz that is open browser and timed. The exams are lockdown brosee but he reviews in advance. I recommend going to class because the notes that you will take will help you study for the exam and the lecture quiz.
Super nice guy and easy class. He always makes sure everyone is done taking notes before changing slides. Super chill and open to discussions about related topics during class. Only 1 assignment a week, two exams. Attendance is a must to get good notes, but all of the assignments are directly from the notes. No electronics during class.
This is a great class! Professor G is a nice guy who cares about his students as well as the material in class. There are only 2 exams all year, and he gives clear study guides for them. Class isn't mandatory, but you must go to receive the notes as he doesn't post them on Blackboard. There are numerous bonus opportunities as well. TAKE HIM!
Absolutely loved Professor G's class! Super great guy and truly cares for his students and their futures. I was totally blown away by his kindness and ease in the classroom. Has the ability to go over tough subjects in the least abrasive way possible. Would take him over and over again!
His class is super easy, and the slides are really clear to go by. You do have to go to class for the notes because he doesn't post them in blackboard. He doesn't take attendance points but makes you sign in for class? Doesn't make sense to me but overall good class and easy prof. class will get boring sometimes fyi so be aware of that.
Professor Gliszinski is the best. I learned so much applicable content to real life in this class. Genuinely the best Gen Ed you could take if you want to learn something useful while not losing attendance points for missing class. I recommend going to class though because everything you learn is great!
Mr. G is great. Attendance isn't mandatory but he doesn't post notes so you kinda need to go in order to get info. 2 tests that are lockdown at home and weekly lecture quizzes which are pretty easy to get 100s on. Great class
Mr. G is an amazing instructor. I gave him a 1.0 in difficulty not because the course is a gimmee, because it is not. I gave the difficulty 1.0 because if you do the work, you will have success. He is an instructor that truly cares about his students. He cares about their success not only in his class, but in life. Take any of his courses.
Really scares about students!!!!
You need to go to class to get the notes for the weekly quizzes. There are also a few assignments every now and then. He gives you everything you need to succeed in this class and an outline for the final and midterm which has everything that will be on it. Best teacher and had really entertaining lectures!!
Mr. G is awesome! He is incredibly understanding and is passionate about the subject and also about his students learning and overall well being. I found his class so interesting and really enjoyed taking it. When I hit a rough patch mentally mid semester he was understanding and helped me get on track once I showed that I was willing to work hard.
Amazing professor and super easy class!
All lecture for the most part with a couple of tests and "worksheets" which are mini-quizzes. Not hard if you go to class, which I didn't do a good job of, hence the B. Really nice guy and very accessible outside of class. If you show up, the rest will solve itself.
Mr. G has probably been my favorite professor in my academic career so far. Not only is he very caring and understanding, but he makes learning fun and for someone with ADHD; which is very hard for me to find in a professor/lecture. I completely recommend taking him! Attendance isn't mandatory but make sure to get notes from a peer when absent.
If I could give Mr. G a 10/5, I would. He's genuinely one of—if not the—best teachers I've ever had. He makes the content exciting to learn and is very fair. Attendance isn't mandatory, so it's not a huge deal if you miss, but try show up as often as possible. There are only two exams the whole year, and they're straightforward. Take this class!
I wasn't to excited when I had to take this class. but after seeing how Mr. G teaches and lectured, it made me enjoy it so much more. He is very easy and caring. Would 100% take the class again if I had to.
I loved Mr. G's class. He's super easy going and understanding. He assigns worksheets every other week but they're pretty easy. Weekly quizzes over the lectures but they are open note. Just go to class to take the notes and you'll pass the class.
Mr. G is an amazing professor. Super helpful if you ever need to reach out to him. There are weekly lecture quizzes but they are super easy. As long as you attend class you will do well. Only two exams, a midterm and a final but they are pretty straightforward. He is fun and engaging in his lectures, and passionate about what he is teaching.
Weekly quizzes taken at home. Some worksheets that are in class, some online. No phones or other technology during his lectures which I find to be helpful. 2 exams: 1 midterm and 1 final taken at home, Take his class!
he is my favorite professor
Actual goat professor, I just skipped because I had him at 8 and I like to sleep.
I love this man. Attendance is not mandatory, and he makes it easy for you to catch up when test time rolls around. He doesn't allow devices technically but isn't too strict on it. Does make you hand write notes though. Tests are proctored online, but not too difficult!
Mr.G is one of the best professors at Uark. He makes learning very fun and he is also super relatable. He really wants his students to succeed and always takes into account your feedback. His class is very easy if you just show up and take notes. He doesn't make attendance required, but I highly encourage it because the class is so fun.
Gliszinski is a good professor who has very engaging lectures. Attendance is tracked, but not mandatory. He tries to make content relatable and funny, but it turns out pretty boring. There are lots of documentaries in class and they are horrible. Your grade basically relies on the midterm and the final, but he posts study guides well in advance.
I love Mr. G. I'm not very good at school, but I LOVED this class. Mr. G makes the lectures so interesting, and his voice is so calming. I enjoyed attending, and looked forward to his classes. I was actually so sad on the last day knowing it was over, I miss him already. Truly wish I could take his class forever. I LOVE YOU MR. G THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I love Mr. G. Not a fan of school, but I LOVED his class. He made class so interesting, and I looked forward to going to his class. Truly wish I could take him every year. I was so sad on the last day knowing it was over. I LOVE YOU MR. G! THANK YOU FOR BEING THE BEST EVER, I MISS YOU ALREADY! PLEASE TAKE HIS CLASS HE IS SO SWEET!
Very good professor who understands that this is a 1000 level course. The tests are easy if you listen to lectures and take notes. There's some homework but everything is very easy. He only allows paper notes tho, but he records his lectures so if you miss something you can watch those.
Mr. G is awesome! His lectures are so so interesting and He's so knowledgeable. He cares for his students, and he's very understanding. Highly recommended taking classes with him
Great guy. Always looked foreword to his class. His tests are very simple as long as you take notes and review the study guide.
