He gives out WAY TOO MUCH homework!!!
well where do i start? i mean, pshhh...he's ok. He's got a nice tone of voice, which makes his mundane lectures slightly less boring then it would be had be been deaf.
Eh .. he's definetly into what he teaches. Tests are a little hard. Papers are fun though.
Kubal is a teacher that you want if you want to discuss and actually learn something. Knowing his political stances and such, I can safely say that he tries to express, and allow for, all points of the political spectrum in his class. Heavy work load, but academically worth it.
No Comments
the online class was pretty simple. we were just required to post a bulliton every week and then take 4 tests throughout the semester. he seemed helpful and always willing to hear your side of the story.
Dr. Kubal is a wonderful teacher. This is my first semester and I am very pleased with his teaching style. I would take another class with him. He is very polite and gives the student's positive reinforcement!

The online course was simple, but you must be self-motivated like myself. As an instructor, Kubal was always available to ask questions and graded fairly. He was very clear in his expectations. It requires a bulletin board post regarding the week's chapter as well as four exams and a quiz that is like an assignment each week. I learned alot.
OMG!!! grading is soooOOO extremely hARSH!! failing this class at the moment due to the extreme context he wants with the rough and final draft. class average on those two papers were in the 40's and 50 percentile. now you tell me if that is good or bad? ARGH!! avoid if possible.
The class has good content, but Kubal tries to cram too much information into the semester. The work load is almost umbearable if taking more than 12 units. The tests are awful, even though they are multipule choice the answers can go in many directions. If you can avoid this professor, avoid him.
DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS!!!! HE CHANGES YOUR GRADES EVEN AFTER U GOT IT 2 MONTHS BEFORE. WORST HW SYSTEM IN THE WORLD!!!!
great class, great professor -- I learned so much, and it was one of my best classes of my college career
social movements is one of the most important classes ive taken in college; the prof is good, the work is not too hard, and the material is excellent. I wish more students would take this class. It was a small class, and I like bigger classes better.
I dont recommend him to someone who is taking alot of classes. You will end up teaching the class to yourself. You read a new chapter everyday,lectures are vague, and the exam are all over the place. The class is very demanding of your time. Lectures are short and doesn't follow with the exams.
Online class; chapter reading,test and essay every week. He wont let you make up tests, so stay on top of everything, if you fall behind you might as well drop!
Kubal's deviance class was very interesting in content. However, the best part was the skills I gained. He makes you grow! I improved my reading and speaking skills, and have much more confidence in my other classes.
Kubal is passionate about what he teaches. Good lectures and videos. My problem is the online quizzes. All the questions are about very specific statistics in the book which he does not go over in class, and which one has to search for in the book during the quiz. There is way too little time in the quiz for this. Takes a long time to grade papers.
Do NOT take any of his classes! He makes the class very difficult and does not attend his own office hours to provide help. He often did not show up to class and would give no warning. Reading the book and attending the lecture did not help. BEWARE!
THIS CLASS IS HARD, DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY IF HE WAS THE LAST TEACHER ON EARTH.. YOU WILL THAK ME LATER
On the first day of class he told us to question what our teachers taught us, yet if you disagree with him he'll stop calling on you to comment. The textbook is based on opinion and he supports it like the bible. The quizzes focus on irrelevant statistics that you can't find in time. I changed from a sociology major because of this class.
Terrible teacher. Takes over a month to grade a one page paper. Doesnt help clarify anything. Dont take his class. Quizzes are hard but paper are pretty easy. Just a bad teacher
Honestly, I don't understand why people are complaining about him. He totally respects others' views. Its his job to teach the material that is taught in the book. He is extremely generous when it comes to grading. All tests are online, and i literally got locked out of 3, he kindly reset them for me. Don't hesitate to take his class. He's awesome!
Very interesting class. 10 online quizzes. Tests on very small stats in book(3 books required), not enough time is given for these quizzes. 3 papers due, 2 presentations. Overall he was a very interesting prof, my only complain was the online quizzes. It isn't fair to test on extremely small statistics from a 50 page chapter!
I took the online winter intersession class. The condensed class was very difficult. I managed to get an A but I worked my ass off. The online quizzes are VERY hard, but he is generous with grades and gives extra credit for good answers. Plan on spending about 6-8 hours studying per chapter for the online class, lecture class may be less.
He is TOUGH. Expects A LOT from students. By the book, and strict when it comes to student performance. Mandatory weekly online reading quizzes. Expect 3-4 hours of textbook reading per week! :O Despite this, I think he is a good guy, and is a good lecturer/speaker. He is also very passionate about soc. Yet VERY high expectations for students.
He is very hard and will not recommend him at all, extremely hard quizzes everyweek and write ups, too muxh reading for a class.
Dr. Kubal is very passionate and knowledgable but not very good at teaching. His workload is almost unbearable if you want to get an A and are taking a full load, if you work, forget it. He has 2 essays, 2 presentations and 15 online quizzes that are multiple choice and essay and TIMED. If you want an A in his class, you have to EARN IT
He was interesting. I like how he encouraged student discussion. He thought a lot about making the course a good learning experience for students. He grades kind of "by the book" on the two 4 page papers, and tests over the reading are not easy.
class was not that hard, but you do have to do a good bit of reading to do well on the tests. Readings were mostly great, and class was often fun.
His class structure is very confusing and unclear, even if you ask for help. The tests are relatively difficult. His grading on the papers is fair if you actually put work into it. If you are taking this for an upper GE, stay away. STAY AWAY. There were a total of 5 textbooks. There are easier and/or more fulfilling classes at Fresno State.
What a great class! I mean for a GE class it was kind of hard, but the materials were really interesting, and really surprised me how deep popular culture is. I also liked his teaching style. I improved my skill set because of this class, and I learned a little bit about sociology that I may take with me.
This class proves that people will believe anything a teacher tells them. 90% of the information this guy teaches is hardly considered scientific. It's speculation and theory without proof or repeated experimentation. His grading of the paper is way too harsh for subjective topics and isn't clear with his expectations from assignments.
Great teacher but grading is a bit too hard & has very hi expectations 4 this class. Theres lots of reading to do bcuz there's 30 min. quizzes every week for like a 50pg chapter!(tho you only gotta take 10/15 of them); then theres 2 papers & 2 presentations. This class was super interesting 4 me but he expects top-quality writing =/
I don't think I can say anything nice. His syllabus was 35 pages long, he does not grade in a timely fashion. I do not feel like I learned anything in his class. If you need a multicultural credit, take something else. He put a lot of emphasis on his final paper (which was ludicrous!) and then did not even grade the final draft! Avoid at all costs!
Terrible course. He has 30 page syllabus he doesn't even go over. He teaches a lot of his opinions instead of factual things. Gives terrible directions for most assignments and doesn't have a keen sense on students opinions. And last but not least.The paper he has you write is ridiculous and makes no sense what so ever.I dont recommend this course
what a weird culture class, but original, fer sure. so many opportun for lerning in this class, even though I did not take advantage of it. If you want a blow off GE look elsewhere. must read the syllabus carefully, read text almost every week, and self motivate. learned alot from other students. overall one of the best classes i've had at FS!
He lectures the whole 2hours and 50 min. It is so boring because all he talks about is theories. He likes what he teaches but he doesn't make it interesting at all. Kind of a boring class.
Well, it was annoying listening to other students complain about the long syllabus and the online assignments. Grow up -This is college, people! The course was maybe a little harder than most, but I got alot more out of it than most courses. He gave out some free points to everyone at the end of the semester, but I didnt like the testing center.
Does not make the subject very interesting.
Avoid this class. His course is unclear & confusing. Super long & tedious lectures. Lots of work & even more reading! Should've been a online course. Kubal has his moments of awesomeness but it still doesnt help the amount of work he gives students.
His class was confusing because he is not organized.
This was a great class. I loved almost every part of the class, except how hard I had to work to get an A. But I can say that I enjoyed the class a lot, and learned so much. I'm going to look into another class with this professor.
The class is confusing. Kubal tends to go off topic and not really read about the text. If he does, he let's the class know towards the end of the class. Keep him on track or else, you will feel lost.
not best but very good. prof cares. readings r interesting. gained skills. fun class.
Very boring. Keep up on your readings or you will get lost. Too many assignments. Don't recommend him or this class.
His lectures are confusing and he gets off topic. His instructions for papers are confusing and he won't answer any of your questions regarding them. He's fickle about his instructions and if he makes a mistake he blames the students.
He's awful. Please do yourself a favor and don't take this class! He is confusing, waaaay over demanding for a general ed class, and is the toughest critic I have ever taken a class from. He's also impossible to please.
Kubal had the best of intentions but he has proven impossible to please. Very hard to contact and get clarification... do not take this class if you do not want to be a Sociology major. This class is more geared to SOC majors ONLY because of the in depth analysis of theorists required. By far, the most difficult professor to please with my writing.
He's very nice, makes class interesting,tries to be as available as he can, gives lots of extra credit.But way too many assignments to keep up with for a general ed. class and gets really in depth w/theories.He has to write about 4 full pages of instructions in order for students to do the assignments the exact way he wants them.
He is AWFUL. Says that one book is required and offers four optional ones, but then administers quizzes and papers over all five. He's terrible at keeping up with grades and is extremely difficult to please.
The class was fun, but challenging.
Great class. Fun and it feels like I'm at a real university. He won't give you the answers during lecture, so it forces you to read. Don't take the class if you want a blow off, but take it if you want something real out of your college career.
He's OK. The class has its moments, but honestly, I didn't find sociology very interesting.
Best class I've taken at state. The class is not easy, but you can get an A, and if you do that, you will learn a lot. This is a great prof to take if you care about actually getting an education, rather than just getting an easy grade.
The class isn’t hard if you do all of the assigned work.The assignments such as phone surveys and analysis are time consuming and leave little time to focus on other classes.Don’t take this class if you’re not a Sociology major.The grading for the writing assignments is rough.I wrote more in this class than any writing class that I’ve ever taken!
Do not take this class unless you are a sociology major! Their is no textbook but weekly readings found online that are fairly interesting. But he is incredibly unclear in what he is looking for when he asks you to "discuss the readings." Paper that is large part of grade is not explained very well. He's a nice guy,if youre a sociology major.
There is WAY too much work for this class. In order to get A's on the weekly "quizzes," I ended up writing 8-10 page papers. every. week. He says that they only need to be 1,000 words minimum, but continually stated that I needed more detail until I was writing 8 pages per week. I got an A eventually, but it was entirely too much work.
I took this summer online class. I liked it a lot. There was a lot of work piled into just a few weeks, but it was a very interesting and enlightening class. The instructor did a great job of setting up the course and encouraging participation. There was a lot of writing, but it was all pretty easy.
Horrible teacher and equally horrible class. After semester ended he had given me a C and after double checking his grading I discovered that he had completely disregarded one of my papers that I had turned in. Had I not double checked I would have received a bad grade.
DO NOT TAKE IF YOU ARE NOT SOC MAJOR. ALOT OF ESSAYS AND RESEARCHING. YOU WILL HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO USE SO MUCH CONFUSING COMPUTER PROGRAMS. OVERALL I WROTE 86 PAGE OF ESSAY (quiz,research) IN THIS COURSE! I LOATH THE COURSE.
I'm not a SOC major, and I feel that you need to be to pass this class. 600+ word essay quizzes every week that is almost impossible to get a good grade on, and a massive research paper. Mine was 30+ pages! I don't think he understands that we have other classes too! He is very vague on what he wants and has almost impossibly high standards!
Very challenging class - LOTS of essay writing and confusing article reading required. No textbooks but articles assigned are long, challenging and complicated. He is vague on his expectations, is vague on his feedback and is just overall challenging to understand what he wants. Paper at the end of the semester required extra computer programs.
Took this class because I no more options. The class is challenging. Lots of articles that sometimes don't make sense. Writing quiz each week, leaves vague feedback or none at all. The essay at the end of the semester makes no sense and he doesn't explain him self very well. Overall I would avoid him.
Where to begin. Essay-length papers for weekly "quizzes". Vague comments for low scores and NO SCORING RUBRIC. Unstructured classroom then expects massive amounts of out of class work to make-up for it. Maybe as a summer course where you are taking 3units but DO NOT TAKE IF YOU ARE TAKING MORE THAN ONE OTHER CLASS. Worst professor yet.
I loved this class and this professor. I learned so much! It was not an easy class, but I really enjoyed the weekly readings and quizzes because they kept me on my toes, and I never fell behind. The research was SO interesting and innovative. You'll never have another class like this in your undergrad!
I had great expectations listening to the professor on the first day of class. However, he didnt clearly describe how to do the assignments. I enjoyed certain things in his class,but the process of data and analysis was not clarified, and for that reason I received a low overall grade. He wasn't great at answering emails. Confusing class!!!
Dr. Kubal was awesome, it was a little hard to understand what he wanted with the assignments, but overall the class was great. if you like to have an open discussion with the class then you will love his classes
Very smart. Good lecturer. However, his classes are mislabeled. Do not expect to learn about what the course description contains. Instead, you should expect to be more like his "research assistant" helping him (along with the rest of the entire class) complete his latest research project. If you work hard and do all the extra credit, possible A.
Worst teacher I had at Fresno State. He doesnt explain what he wants out of you or any of the work. So many things to keep up with that have NOTHING to do with the class. He is rude and doesnt listen to what his students have to say. He doesn't teach the class that is described on the class description. He uses you to do research for his own benift
Horrible! Dont take this class unless tou live statistics and want to spend honestly 7 hours a week doing work for this class And want to do hard statistic work. He is unclear, unorganized and unhelpful when asked for clarification. Also for the project we either had to download a program or go to campus to work on it, defeats the online purpose.
Be ready to have a lot of readings. Be ready to turn in quizzes almost weekly, you have to turn in four papers and the instructions are sometimes unclear. Too much work. Had to do some research. Sometimes doesn't respond back to emails.
Super easy class, 1 page paper every Sunday, but seriously SO UNPREPARED, all over the place/ unorganized. Says "right" after everything. But I guess worth it because tests are open note/book.
Took this online and beware he does not use Blackboard, he uses some sort of site that I think he designed specifically for his difficult web of delirium. No textbook, but you will be reading 30 to 50 pages a week for weekly quizzes and I'm still not sure how you get an A on them. Confusing as hell, I don't know how any one can keep up.
Pros: Easy homework, lectures book chapters, book not necessary, very nice, online quizes that are open notes, and very passionate about sociology. Cons: VERY slow grader, confusing in class, sporadic roll-calls, and lectures felt long. Would definitely take class again,
I thought Kubal was great. He wasn't like any other profesor I've ever had. I learned to think differently. No textbook to buy is nice. I really liked the journal articles we read. The interviewing assignments he gave were great too. I want to take more classes in sociology.
This class is very difficult, even though it is just a G.E. class, he expects way too much from his students.
THE WORSTTT TEACHER!! The class is not difficult (Race, Soc) but he is such a bad teacher that you do bad out of resentment. He shows up unrepressed and just wings the lecture sounding redundant and not really giving us any new info. I think he is making his students do his research work because we go out interviewing people and making transcripts
I took this class half online and half in class. There were papers due every Sunday about interviews, not bad. He kinda rambles in class. It's basically all about interviewing, not what I expected for sociology
Hrs on end of HW,vague with assignments, grades sooo late on absolutely everything that your are left constantly guessing your grade. He does not respond to emails, and his tests are hard because there are like 14 choices for each!do NOT take his class!I have been a straight A student forever & understand hard work, but this is ridiculous!!!
I was told to not take him, and what do I do? I take him. Worst decision ever. Here I am struggling, having a stressful summer because of this confusing class that I could have taken later with another instructor. He is confusing and grades really hard. It doesn't help that this is a summer online class and work is crammed. DO NOT TAKE HIM!
I liked the class alot. He makes you think and hes caring. He answers email really fast. other students compmlained but they are lazy I think. This was one of my favorite classes of all time. I'm switching my major to sociology!
The class had weekly papers that were easy and interesting. The text book was super short and easy. Had a lot of computer assignments. Overall a fun class and I learned a lot..
This was a great class to improve my life. He was a little slow on the grading but the papers were repetitive so it didn't matter. Kubal is a great professor!
don't take a class with this man-DONT. Vague on assignments, so confusing, always rambling, you will learn NOTHING from this class. He shows up with NO preparation for class!just one big fat mess. Takes FOREVER to grade. I am a 4.0 student and this professor will be the one to ruin that! uses his students for his own research instead of teaching
Professor Kubal is by far the worst professor I've ever had. He is so unorganized and his lectures are all over the place. Also, he takes a very long time to grade anything, and he is very unclear in some of his instructions. If you can avoid this professor at all costs, I wish I would've.
He seems like a very nice man but he is an awful professor in my opinion. Fresno State needs to do something about professors like this.
I have never graded a professor before, but this guy is so bad that he inspired me to find this website and rate him. He is the worst professor I've had at Fresno State by far. He's incredibly unorganized and has no idea how to actually teach a subject. DO NOT take any classes by him. I will barely pass and a number of students already dropped out.
I do not recommend this professor. His communication skills are awful. Instructions are forever changing as well as confusing. He literally teaches nothing. You'll learn nothing. This class was a constant circle of disorganization, chaos, and frustration. Save yourself some sanity. Ignore the positive ratings of him.
I had such a great experience in this class that it inspired me to change my major to sociology and tell others they should take his classes. I actually learned something and while it wasn't easy it was totally worth it.
This is probably the worst professor on this campus. He is the worst grader. He will wait till the week before final to grade your papers and if you did something wrong you would not be able to fix the errors because he took forever to grade. I would not rate anyone but people need to know how a horrible professor he is.
He takes forever to grade, assignment instructions are confusing. I learned nothing in this class do not recommend this professor. There is a lot of reading and the test are difficult.
I've taken Soc classes before and none have been this difficult. Grading criteria's extremely hard to fulfill, he's not good at explaining how you can write papers better and expects way too much work to be done in a small amount of time. DO NOT TAKE HIS ONLINE CLASS. YOU WILL REGRET IT. Especially if it's just a General Edu course for you!!!!!!
Interesting subject but very tough grader. Analysis paper 300 points, Revision of analysis paper 125, quizzes at 125 points a piece. He also makes you go out and interview people so thats 200 points and makes you transcribe them by writing them out word for word or by using his voice system, and thats 75 points. Participation 200 points. Over it!!!
This was probably one of the worst sociology courses i have taken. Although the class was interesting he was so unorganized with his assignments. He doesn't really explain what exactly he wants with his assignments and grades them very late so you don't have enough time to re do it. Whatever you do, do not take this professor you will regret it.
Dr. Kubal is really passionate about social movements. His lectures can be long but interesting. His class had 3 exams that were 5 page papers that summarized the readings. He also had some discussions. A lot of group work was done. Deadlines can be tricky because he changes them. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Grades Fairly, not a push over.
Awful this teacher takes pride in hurting his students grades and does not give any good feedback. The class is boring and his requirements are unreal. Horrid.
wow, thank gosh I'm done with this online class. 4 essays, semester is over, and I barely received my 2nd essay grade. His expectations are unreal. You are LITERALLY required to read 1000 pages in 2 books, no joke. Then, quizes. With no study guids and 4000-500 pages read, you get a quiz along with an essay.
I'm currently enrolled in his online class and it's the worst class I've taken. Over 6 chapters of reading yet, no study guides. 4 essays are due and 3 quizzes, no study guide. "keep up with the reading." smh It's a very interesting subject, but he makes it more about work than learning. Undergrad, avoid, imo. Precise writing, no study guide..
I took this class over the winter (2 1/2 weeks long) and it was pretty hardcore. We had to get two books for the class and read a chapter from each book A DAY. The second book with short articles was useless. Never used it to our benefit. If you decide to take this class within the same period of time, you better not be busy with anything else
People told me about this professor, and I still took him thinking they were just exaggerating. OH NO, THEY WERE RIGHT! This was the worst online class ever. 4 1000+ word essay with this confusing table he required, lots of DB and 3 quizzes with 1000+ word essay each and no study guide. I HIGHLY recommend taking it with a different professor.
I have never given a rating before because I have never felt the need too. However, this professor is by far the worst professor I have ever encountered. The way the class is structured we basically did nothing for the first half of the semester. Then you have papers back to back with lack of clarity on what needs to be accomplished to the very end
HORRIBLE. Does not explain anything you just have to guess. His lectures are pointless nobody even pays attention.
He does not fully make aware what he wants us to know for the exams. Show up to class the day before exam because he will tell you the short answer questions. Lectures are boring and there is minimal feedback on the assignments.
Honestly, if youre a SOC major, hes a great SOC professor who wants you to know your stuff. If you arent a SOC major, I am not, the amount of work he requires isnt worth doing in a GE course. This guy seems very passionate, however if you are not a SOC major, Im not sure why you would want to put yourself through so much writing.
Awful lecturer, talks in circles every day. Such a basic class but he makes it much harder than i needs to be. He makes the tests horribly and there are 5 essays in a semester. He wants weirdly specific things and if you could get a different professor, do it.
Not the best professor out there, very confusing and expected a lot for a GE course. Tough grader! He is a good person just not the best professor. If you show up to class and pay attention to his lectures you'll make it. Gets off track often too, made it harder for me to grasp on info we needed for exams.
The way he does things w/assignments and grading is so confusing and he expects way too much for a lower GE class
THE WORSE! He does not want your answers but his own answers only. He will fail you regardless and emailing him will do nothing. He told me he will reevaluate my papers and instead he excused them! WHAT?! Can I even report this?
This course requires you to be very attentive. At first I was overwhelmed with his writing assignment but there are only 3 that are required throughout the whole semester. He replied to all my emails in less than 24 hours and never made me feel discouraged to reach out for help. If you decide to take this class be prepared for A LOT of reading.
This is one of the hardest classes Ive taken because he assigns 4 papers throughout the semester plus 3 essay questions for the quizzes we have to take which are just as long. So technically its 7 papers in one semester plus random discussions every other week. The textbooks are required. They are interesting but its a lot of work for a course.
Don't do it. Don't take this professor. He doesn't know how to teach and he's an absolute mess. I really wanted to learn from this class but I feel like it just made me hate these tools more because I was always so frustrated because he never explained things thoroughly. I spent more time on this class than any class I've taken before.
I honestly 100% feel if I were given ONE MONTH to learn teaching material for this course, I would do a much better job than him. He doesn't know how to teach. I thought I had the worst teacher years ago, and frankly, Kubal is worse than her bcuz HE CAN'T TEACH! Back to back papers. Late. No lecture presentations TAKE ANY PROFESSOR BUT HIM!!!!!
If you have the chance to choose. Do not take this class with this professor. Didnt grade any assignment until the semester was over and gave zero feedback. I did every assignment believing I was doing okay but since I never got graded I didn't know what I needed to fix. And when I brought it up to him he gave me the most vague answer to my grade.
Only my second week as a freshman. After reading the reviews, I still gave him a chance to get proved wrong. I didn't understand a thing.. He would often get mad at the class not talking.. we are freshman and nervous, this led to him making it a VERY hostile environment.
just so rude and does not care if you are going to pass or not. WILL NOT help you with assignments. Just overall the worst professor I have ever had.
Very lecture heavy, exams are tough, multiple choice but basically free response.
WORST EVER... listen to these reviews because I never had a teacher like him. He grades so hard and is not aware of how hard his students try. I tried so hard in this class HOURS and HOURS stressed all the time just to get a bad grade. The instructions are so unclear on the assignments and he posts a lot of assignments. Extra credit is given!
He mixed up the readings/writing assignments, posted them incorrectly on canvas. He didn't notice his mistake until mid-semester. Assignments depended upon each other, when he finally noticed his mistake it ruined the assignments for the whole semester. Did not allow additional time despite his mistake. Assignments were long-winded and confusing.
never again!
I'm almost done with the semester and decided to look on here about Kubal since he has been such a tough grader, giving no feed back with confusing assignments. And many agreed with me, he has graded things so late that I haven't been able to see what I'm actually doing good on. Try and take another professor he does not know what he's doing
This professor talks a lot and most of the time it isn't related to any work assignments until he gets to the last 15 minutes of class. The workload is heavy, and his explanation about the two assigned research papers do not make any sense. He provided a very outdated video guide that is hard to understand due to how old it is.
This is the worst class I have ever taken, because the kind of person this professor is. He's so dry and doesn't seem happy to be here. Life happens and he doesn't give you a chance unless a adressed emergency that is stated in his syllabus. I don't even know why he still lectures here. He's a tough grader, w/ high expectations. Don't take him.
Had to buy the textbook, but never once used it. He assigns no reading and not much homework. Very lecture heavy, but don't learn much. Very basic stuff. Total coursework: 10 online class discussions, two research projects, one midterm, one final.
For your own sake, do not take any of his courses. He puts up a front of an actually competent professor for the first few weeks, up until you can no longer drop the class safely, then he just doesn't care anymore. His lectures had barely anything to do with the assignment he gave us, he used AI in some of them, and overall is just uncaring.
Not only does he not know how to teach and his instructions are strict and confusing, but we're in the finals week and he's only graded four of my assignments. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER
