I thought Dr. Sydlik was very helpful. I had her in her first semester, and I liked her very much, she was very clear and concise. As far as treating her students like 12 year olds goes, if you are inconsiderate, she's going to let you know about it. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Definately not the best at NYU, but she knows her material. Yet, she is so nerdy and laughs so much at her own dull jokes that her class is not really what you would call fun. Her quick facts are cool though. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Critelli is out of this WORLD. He'll make you laugh so hard you can't breathe. Critelli will go over the material over and over but in different hilarious ways. I use to pretend I didn't understand the reading so that he would explain it again and again because he made it so fun. I would definitly take him again. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Pretty great, I don't know why people have been critical of him. He tries really hard with my class even though 70% of them are either asleep or terrible and silent. So. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Listen folks, the guy has to teach 60+ uninterested students and he is obviously a tech nerd. I spent quite a bit of time talking to him outside of class and found him more than helpful and personable. If you want a good grade, do what it takes. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |

she was an ok professor i felt as though she was just a little to harsh she needs to consider speaking tok some people in private about matters rthat can be dealt with in private. otherwise she wasnt bad at all i learned alot and had a few laughs. Shes a DIVA in every respect of the word. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |

His classes are tough, I agree with other students' opinions. BUT! he is very helpful for students to understand through individual tutoring during the class. All students in my class had worries about him before taking classed, but they has been changed after taking classes. Also, his personality and efforts are great! | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |

i loved the class i took with her and i thought she was a great teacher. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
if you cant appreciate his genius it's a reflection on you. Extremely serious abt poetry and demands the same of you. Am repulsed by the whiny ratings of others. He's the best and most caring prof. I've ever had. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Take her! She gives a few concept notes and examples on the board. Point out a mistake and she is cool about it. Mostly work on handouts with people you sit with while she walks around and helps. Her teaching style is to let you figure things out while she guides you. Few graded homeworks. She has a Turkish accent, but is very understandable. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Mr Hu would take time to explain the more subtle points of Calculus I. I was repeating this class for the third time with respectable grades previously. Mr Hu would make jokes about "stupid math majors". And the sci fi show Dr Who. Mr Hu had class study groups prior to tests/finals. I wish I had better study skills to retain learning I will review | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
I wish I would have had her for the classroom part, because I enjoyed her lab so much. If you come to class, do your work, and maybe crack a book every once in a while, you will pass. She was also very helpful. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
An online General Elective about an introduction to Slavery. Interesting to speak with in person and helpful on writing my final paper, showed real interest in the subject and managed to teach effectively through an online system. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
He is very intellgent and passionate. Sometimes he rambles but that is only because he really loves what he teaches. I enjoyed this class, wasn't alot of work and it really made me THINK!! That's what school should be about, no? Never a dull moment with this guy | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
He's very rude, won't answer any questions, and is quick to assume the worst in his students. After this class, I'll never take a class with him again. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
This guy is one of the best professors I had. Extremely helpful both during class and afterwards. Was very understanding about my varsity commitments! | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Someone needs to teach this "teacher" how to do her job. She has no concept of how to teach a class well. All be warned, if she comes up as one of your teachers, switch your class fast!! She should definately be given the boot. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Dr. Stecker's class is really hard to pay attention to because he talks very quietly and is not very engaging. He also grades pretty tough too, but its not a bad class. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Ed. Ed Ed Ed. I loved this class, and not only because he was sexy. He actually was passionate about the subject matter, and he helped clarify already instilled opinions I had. I can easily say this is one of the best teachers at AICOC outside of core or lab classes. I would probably take the class again if I had the money :X | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
She is a great teacher, she is willings to help her students in any way that she can. She is very undertanding and caring. She is a fun teacher and makes learning math fun and interesting. Excellent teacher, if your having trouble in math i recomened taking O'Bryan b/c she will teach you good. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Prof DEFINITELY knows his Greek, but seemed bored while teaching it at this introductory level... like he always would prefer to be elsewhere. Very gracious in allowing retests, but could benefit from a bit more time spent upfront in assuring students are onboard. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Wonderful! Incredibly unique teaching method; much more enjoyable than the standard teacher-student style. His class was the highlight of my week. He is INCREDIBLY knowledgable about the human mind and emotions-quite possibly the most intelligent prof on campus. I changed my major to psychology too! | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
WONDERFUL TEACHER. SHE WAS VERY HELPFUL IN EVERYWAY SHE COULD BE. TAKE HER FOR THIS CLASS. BY THE WAY, SHE DOES HAVE A PET PEEVE, DO NOT SPELL HER NAME WRONG!!! OR LET CELL PHONES RING IN CLASS!! | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
She is my favorite teacher at semo! Down to earth and witty and very practical... Her tests are easy and her lectures are interesting! | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Chaney was an absolute ray of sunshine! His Film 100 class is fun and chill. I had him for an 8am and every morning he made waking up for that class a little bit easier. We only had two projects and spent a lot of time talking about and watching films. He loves when people talk in his class and he is very excited about what he does! | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Belittles his students. Class not worth taking. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Can barely speak English. Doesn't know anything about course material. Gives no page references to decode his impossible lectures. He once said, and I quote... "Mandarins can't be lazy, like Mexicans who sleep under trees all day". But it's not worth the agony and confusion. AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
GREAT! If you are the type of person that likes your work back right away, stay away from Tim. He does a great job making the class interesting, but is not very good at keeping the class on topic. You have to be willing to read all the required material and also go see him in his office if you need help. I suggest this class!!! | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
This professor really knows his stuff! Because he is really knowledgeable in this area he sometimes forgets that his students may not be so you need to ask him to explain in a different way. He also tries to explain the theories using lots of examples and dumbs things down so everyone gets it. Exams are hard and require work but he is a great. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |

hes the best prof ive had here | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
she stinks | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
A really nice guy but awful at lecturing! He could put you to sleep, his lectures were unorganized and didn't make sense, didn't help with the assignments/tests. Way to much reading, and dead boring texts. Not clear on what exams were based on, his notes never make sense. Fair marker, dead boring, but kind and lenient. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Course textbook: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Variable names Ford, Arthur and HHGTG were common. Lots of intel references. On a whole, really liked his teaching style. Wierd, geeky humor. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
I love Elizabeth. Her lectures are so interesting, she keeps you on her toes. She expects your best but is understanding when you can only give her less than your best. You should def. take this class, it is awesome!!! | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |

Professor Giarratani was an excellent teacher.

He has a great ability to get students to understand concepts and makes the material very clear | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |

i have no interest in sculpture whatsoever, cuz, it's sooo costly but daniel encouraged all of us to do our own thing and he respected all our opinon. although his lectures might be hard to catch onto sometimes, he's a cool guy* but dont expect him to give u a HIGH grade. jus a decent grade will do | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Great class. Do the work and put the time effort into the workshop and that's all he can ask of you. Besides this class he has been super helpful in getting my portfolio together and academic advising. Great teacher, great guy. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |

By the end of the semester, everyone loved her. Dr. Long is a great teacher. She loves her field, and she loves teaching those who also care about it. Just be respectful and you'll do fine. Also, never forget the space in "a lot." | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
I feel like Dr. Andy is a love him or hate him kind of professor. Because he talks about things he likes poetry, film, music and gives lots of factoids in class, it could mean amazing or bust depending on what type of student you are. I personally liked him because I learned a lot during class and office hours. He nurtures creativity. A family man. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Great guy! Makes chem classes fun. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Have had him for several classes. Study the power point and you will get an A but know it inside and out. He is a wonderful caring professor who will go out of his way to explain things. Sometimes he seems a little annoyed if you ask too many questions but he always is willing to answer them. You get out of class early. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |

I've had Ian so many times I've lost count. Genuinely wonderful both as an educator and as a person. Each time I've had him, I've been asked to examine literature in new and impactful ways. Respectful and interested in the opinions of his students. You can't get away with not reading the books, though, so don't try it. He'll know. Highly recommend. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |

No longer teaching. Professror Emeritus. Laid a good foundation for future teachers to model. His clarity of thought and instruction has helped me in my upper level courses. Master teacher | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Is a tough grader, will get really snippy if you're tardy more than once, will get snippy if you are absent more than twice, will get irritable if not enough people participate during class, even with all his moodiness he was very good at critiquing papers and always wanted his students to progress. YOU HAVE TO DO THE WORK! and come to class. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
This teacher taught me a lot. I asked for help all the time and she always helped me. The class was hard, though I learned and isn't that what teachers are about? Kindness, is one word that discribes Lorrie. I liked her because she was good at what she does 'English writing & grammar' and found it easy to talk to her. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
She's the sweetest, most caring professor you'll encounter. Her passion for the material is infectious and she always tries to make tutorials interesting. Readings are mandatory in this class; in fact the tutorials are more important than lecture. She's clear on expectations but not an easy ride. Mima is a gold standard professor. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Giampetro is the sweetest professor at Loyola, and her class is probably the best I've taken. She makes the material so interesting and relevant. There is a bit of homework but nothing too challenging, you'll need the test for the hw but you could split with friends in the class. Tests are right from class work, not too difficult. | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
an amazing woman to know. one of the greatest teachers the B.A.C. will ever have | 5) highlights the professor's demeanor, attitude, or personal qualities |
Workload was above average. Class time was a lot of lecture. Too much time spent on weekly group presentations. Dr McFadden really wants students to get it and she is very (VERY) passionate about quality. Lot of memorization. Not an easy grader, but if you put in the effort you will get the 'A'. Textbook needed for HW. Could share. | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
Teacher has a great attitude and is very helpful but many times is disorganized and assigns reading that you simply will not have time to do. You must go to her and ask specifically what will be on the test because if you do ALL the readings she assigns, you will literally have no other time for any other classes. Syllabus is sometimes a mess. | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
Judy's class was easy and interesting. Her class consisted of "showing up and enjoy the movie" then go home and write a discussion paragraph within your group members online. We only had to write couple papers during the entire semester (just explain what you think of it)No textbooks! Judy deserves some respect from her students!(some ppl were rude | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
I liked her. Long lectures, but posted the class notes to eLearning. Lots of subject related movie day classes. Two 5-page independent papers, & one 10-page group paper, which I did alone (1 member dropped class, other didn't do ANY work, so Dr. Salter told me to do it on my own!). 1st test hard, 2nd is essay written in class (given ? in advance). | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
Christian is like a wizard. It takes him 3 months to teach what the math department takes 2 courses, 2 profs, and 8 months to teach (poorly). Truly magical! | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
I suggest reading the material ahead of time from the text (if you don't have it, they have it in the library which I used because textbooks are $$). Do the extra credit ALWAYS, that means come to class or else you will miss out. 1st day she'll pick on people to participate, don't let this scare you away!! She stops after around the 2nd week:) | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
He is a fun professor, but there is a lot of reading to keep up with. | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
Extremely difficult professor for a general education course requirement. Gives WAY TOO MANY readings and does not understand that we have other classes and majors. His exams are too tricky. Do NOT take him if you want an A. | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
I enjoyed the class and the professor is very nice. Class meets only once a week and she assigns only three essays. | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
Very annoying/needy. Part of our grade is visiting her during her office hours. She said that if we don't have any ?'s that we still needed to show up to say Hi. She also "let" the class decide when papers will be due after giving suggested dates. After an hour of everyone arguing, we ended up w/same dates as orig. More papers than English class. | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
She's a great person and teacher. She might weird you out on the first day... but it's the first day. I ended up liking her a lot. Allows you to manage your working time and she'll recommend what you should have done... obviously there's a due date for the essays. Typically excepts work after deadline... but DON"T PUSH IT! | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
She is a very nice lady in general and she will help you out but this is the most BORING CLASS ever and its a LOT of reading due in every class. | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
sharing articles that we read during the week is a very good idea. | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
He is a really good journalism professor! He will pick on you, but usually its because you didn't do your work.

tries to cover way too much material, but is understanding and kind. | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
We had two papers, a podcast to listen and respond to, and reading every week. Told everyone upfront to expect 6 days/3+ hours of work. Gives commentary back for each assignment, however several times I noticed a confusing response and grade and upon reaching out, he got my work confused with another student. You have to be on top of your grades. | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
He is a great professor. No class on Friday and hardly any work. The work is easy and so are the exams. I highly recommend taking a class taught by Dr. Holcomb. | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
The homework is like 100 pages long, and you never understand what he's saying. There's no point in going to class. | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
This dude is a boss. While there is a lot of writing it really isn't that bad and there is no test. Got a B in the class and didn't even use the book; I only used it for the writing assignments which are weekly | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
great teacher, going to his office hours is very helpful because he is willing to go over and workout any problem you ask him too. lots of homework but it prepares you for the test. pretty funny. tests are based on the homework, very fair grader. . don't skip class. this class will not be an easy A. study and do your work and you will get an A. | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
Wonderful professor. Class will be difficult if you don't read. (alot of reading is required). You will be amazed by him. He is so animated and is a wealth of knowledge. Course uses 3 books (he has on reserve at library if you dont want to buy them. At end of semester you do murder profile. HIGHLY RECCOMMEND! Just be reasdy to work in his class!! | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
Professor Dearing's class is definitely not easy but she is without a doubt a great teacher. You really have to work for a good grade and attendance is mandatory to pass. Overall she was very helpful though, and wants success for her students. I would not recommend this class if you don't like reading. She also was very helpful with writing papers. | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
Works hard to help students; actively teaches. This is a challenging class that he puts a lot of effort into making accessible and understandable. | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |

I had her for English 120 and she was generally an okay teacher. We mostly just talked about the book we had to read and most of the times we (or she) would go off on tangents. Not too many papers, mostly just reading and class discussion. | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
I took Human Female and BBD. It was somewhat interesting and the information would probably be helpful to most. There were three ten page research papers due in HF and 2 in BBD;she expects you to follow the rubrics VERY CLOSELY. The tests are are challenging and consist of labeling, fill in the blanks, and multiple choice. My best advice is to stud | 2) the amount of work, readings, or assignments required for the course as well as students' time investment |
