Reviews of professor Michael von Spakovsky

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
You're graded on about 15 questions the entire course. He assigns homework assignments everyday but doesn't grade them for credit. He grades based upon quizzes and tests only. On quizzes and tests he will go back and deduct points after the TA grades them initially. He always finds a way to "flex" knowledge of Thermo on you if possible. Strange man

Dr. von Spakovsky struggles to teach even the most basic concepts to his students. His lectures consist of him reading word for word off the slides, making mistakes on practice problems, and ridiculing students for answering questions incorrectly. He is a very harsh grader on tests and quizzes. Save yourself the pain and take someone else.

Your entire grade is based off of less than 20 questions done through the semester. Though the TA grades, he goes back and docks his students an extra 15 points every quiz/test. Genuinely, feels like he cares solely about his research and not about teaching. Do yourself a favor and chose someone else for this class. I'd give him a 0 if possible.
